To Patrons Of the schooIs

Here is something to think about Is
it good economy to allow an expensive
school plant to stand idle two and a
half months during the year? Is it not
a waste Of time and distinct loss to
the children to have them out of school
sixteen weeks in succession?
Would it not be better 70 run school
at least ten months in the year and
make the work little more strenuous?
How would it do to continue school for
ty weeks. with a week vacation about
Easter time in addition to the usual va
cations, and during the warm weather
in September and in the Spring have
shorter daily sessions for the lower
grades? The years work could be
covered with less nervous strain 20 the
children and their development would
be more natural. Teachers are not
fond OF being out of job nearly a third
Of the time and would be willing to
take g ten months job at very little
more than the usual salary for q nine
months year 1 believe this plan is
worth your serious consideration.

The Protestant pastors of Hays, met
in the study of the III. E church and
organized a Ministerial Association.
The Association resolved not to recon-
mend any books coming through the
hands of book agents, except with the
approval of the Association. It like
wise resolved to warn ali parishioners
against contributing to solicitors for
various charities, unless these collectors
show proper credentials from the State
Board of Charities, according to the
law of Kansas; because of the numer-
Gus frauds that have been exposed and
because of the many legitimate appeals
that come to US.
1t was decided to hold union services
during the months of July and August,
beginning July 9Th, and rotating in the
following order: Rev. Rogers in the
Presbyterian church; Rev. Snyder in
the Methodist church; Rev. Hale IN the
Lutheran church; and Rev. West in the

profound significance attached to it all

Of needed reform along social, economic
