association, according to Supt. Ray

Enrolment in the bureau and all

the association is to be open to all
legally qualified teachers who are

legislature. The bureau secretary
asked for by the teachers is to be
elected and a salary fixed by the state
board of education. The board, ac-
/, cording to the bill, is to be made self

teachers who are enrolled are to be
only enough to reasonably assure the

WE ARE NOT GUILTY
No Charge Made by State journal for
Church Sermons.

Church Sermons.
Editor State Journal: I note that
the State journal and the Daily Capt.
tai are running church sermon and
service displays Saturday evening and
Sunday morning. I understand that
the churches are charged $11 a col
umn for this. 1t has been supposed
all the time by the good people of the
city that the newApa pers had been
kind enough to contribute this space
lnhusnza epidemic on the churches.
Is thu a form of proflteering on reli-
sion? The people of the city would
like to know.
A READER AND CHURcHMAN.
1t isn't customary for the State
Journal to pay any attention to I'M
signed COMMUNICATIONS but for fear
that there is a feeling in, the city that
this newspaper is "profiteering in re-
ligion." we take heed in this instance.
The State Journal has never made
any charge for anq sermons. The
State Journal has for years car
ried on its editorial page the weekly
International Sunday school lessons
for the benefit of the public. These
lessons are costly but undoubtedly,
|
pearance, are valuable to the church
going public. When the influenza
epidemic closed the churches the State
Journal offered its cooperation in aid
ing the churches and two weeks ago
carried a first page appeal to the peo-
pie to be liberal in their home col
lections and maintain their church
spirit within the household. Last Sat
urday the State Journal carried five
columns of Thoughts for the Sab
bath" written by ministers of seven OF
the denominations in the city.
| Most happily, Mr.. A-Reader-and-
Churchman. we enlighten you on this
matter. The State Journal printed
those sermobs absolutely FREQ of
fcharge to the churches. If it was an
advertisement the State Journal would
iThave 50 marked it. 1t is against the
law to run pay reading matter with
out the distinguishing mark ''Adver-
tisement."
| We plead not guilty to the charge.

Kansas City's Street Car Strike Stu

Kansas City, Dec. 16.-The dead

car strike continued today with no
immediate prospect of a solution
Partial service on some of the heavier
lines of traffic is being maintained

bulk of the population must either
walk or depend upon improvised
motor conveyances.,
The effect Of the walkout on the
influenza epidemic is not definitely
known. However, there has been a
marked lessening in the number Of
new cases reported since the strike has
been in progress. Moderate tempera-
lures have ameliorated much of the
discomfort to the public in going to
and from work. The Kansas City
railways company is operating about
! one-fifth of the normal number Of
cars.
