there is scarcely loyal Thompson ap-

Explaining his scheme for co-opera-

ties, Mr.. Taft said:
Through it's bureau of education
the national government might help to
promote state education by offering
machinery to the people of a munich
pality, of a county or state by which
they might, if they chose, have the
schools they pay for investigated and
examined and the value of the educa-
ton given tested by a survey of re-
port of officers of the United States
bureau of education. Such officers
would be trained experts"
Present System Defective.
Referring to his plan for making the
bureau of education a national uni
versity for teachers, Mr.. Taft said:
BY searching and thorough teach
ers' examinations, the federal certi-
ficates would acquire value for their
holders and the professional qualifica-
ton for teaching would be generally
improved.
AS a proof of the defects of the
present system, Mr. Taft referred to
the report of the Carnegie foundation
for the advancement of teaching,
which showed that the local school su-
perintendents of some states cannot
spell or write good English.

FIRE SANTA FE YARDS
Burning Rubbish Starts Rumor That
Shops Were in Danger.

Burning rubbish in the Fourth
street yards of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway in Topeka this
morning started wild rumor over the
city to the effect that fire had gained
an uncomfortable foothold in the
shops and Topeka's largest industry
was doomed.
A brisk 4O-mile wind swept the
smoke over into the shop district and
several city fire companies were
called.
The blaze was extinguished before
the city companies arrived The dam

CYCLONE IN KANSAS?

A report from Hutchinson received

of another destructive cyclone in west

every indication pointed to another
storm similar to the tornado that
nearly destroyed Great Bend.
The weather bureau in Topeka has
taken note of a big drop of the ba-

about this condition. The wind is

the aggressive Larsen.
Il say don't get enameled ones like

Mr.. Hollinger said that the enamel

big cities Of the mainland. and the
argument was dropped. Another one
was taken up again when Supervisor
Single made it known that the road
committee would like fiFe-ton Pierce

Fourth District, the idea Of the road
committee being to substitute the
truck for some old and decrepit mules.
HoIlinger thought a Jeffreys truck
Just as good or better than a Pierce
Arrow. He suggested a. ffve-ton truck
only to be informed by Mr.. Larsen
that the Jeffreys people did not make
a truck as large as that.
This statement brought forth an.

which the other supervisors listened

several matters of importance. Among
them was a request for an apprepria-
