IT IS PERSONALITY WORKS IN BED
Sure JObgetter in the Topeka
High School, Says Stout.
Grades Count Only in Making a
Successful Teacher.

Personality will get a manor wo-
man-a job in the Topeka high school
quicker than anything else. So says
A J. Stout, principal
Topeka is one of the first three
high schools of the state" he says.
wichita and SaIina being the other
two. Naturally, the first class high
schools attract the first class teachers,
as the salaries average higher than
they do in smaller schools Topeka
salaries will all come pretty close to
$50 month and a rev instructors get
$1,000 a year for nine months work
"A Topeka high school teacher has
to have one year of successful expert
green college graduates need not
apply There are plenty of pedagogues
with the year of experience who file
their applications and from this list
we pick our teachers
First We write to sheir former en-
ployers and get a real reference as to
their character, their ability and
their success The letters which
bosses write for help to carry with
them aren't worth the paper they are
written upon They are always taffy.
Next we arrange for an interview
with Mr. Wilson, the superintendent of
schools. or me. Then we look them
over and get an insight into the per-
sonality of the teacher
You see the whole thing sizes down
into a question of personality. The
only people that are considered are
those who are successes in the pre-
vious two years teaching and we
choose those who are the most agrees
sive in their teaching work. most
tractable and agreeable to the students
and other teachers"
do the high grades of the appIf-
cant count2" was asked.
Grades don't count in getting a
job. If you can deliver the goods
that's what We want But grades go a
mile and a half towarcs getting a man
to the point where ne can deliver the
goods You must be well versed on
your subject. and to be prepared you
must study If you study while in coll
lege you will get good grades"

CONVICT IS FREE
FOR SHORT TIME

The freedom of Jacob Ressles, who
was released from the state peniten-
tiary here recently, was short-lived.
He had just done FIVE years for petty
larceny and on leaving the institution
made hurried acquaintance; but the
police suggested that he move on be-
fore his intimacy brought him discom-
fort.
He needed the suggestion, but too
late, and he lacked about fifty feet OF
being outside the west limits of the
city when the authorities were called
to take care of him. lying intoxicated
in the stock yards. His obstinacy
compelled the police to use straps be-
fore he was quieted sufficiently to be
removed to the Jail
In the justice court he made touch
ing plea for leniency and considera-
ton for his desire to celebrate his re.
lease. The justice. however, gave
him the usual five days.
