CHAMBER OF COMMERCE


The state teachers meeting at Sa-
lima, November 6 and 7, drew from
Hays and the Normal school a large
part of the teachers. When this is
written the exact number present at
Salina is not available but Lee Har-
rison, the assistant secretary in charge
there, announced late Friday after
noon that the attendance at Salina
was well over 1000. There were be-
tween 5000 and 5000 teachers at To-
peka. There was total attendance
of something like 10000 according to
the press reports of all four sections
Practically all of the Normal faculty
were present at some time or other
during the state association. Mr..
Shively was the presiding officer of
the general sessions. Mr.. Rarick was
elected chairman of the rural school
department for next year Of the
round table chairmen elected for next
year whose names were reported to
Mr.. Harrison, eight of the sirteen

lows: Agriculture, F. W. Albertson;
Science, L. D. Wooster; Manual Arts,
Ed Davis; Music, Miss Marjorie Nit
chell; Home Economics, Miss LoRee

Miss Mitchell, Mr. Start, Miss
Barns, Mr.. Rarick, Miss Cave, Mr..
Collyer, and the music department
appeared on the program.
Of all the speakers outside of the
talent imported from outside Kansas,
Miss Cave made bigger hit with her
address than any single speaker. For
the first days session Miss Cave was
the only speaker to receive mention
in newspapers outside of Salina. Mr..
Start was elected chairman of the bet
ter speech committee of the associa-
ton of the teachers of English and
directed to carry, on a campaign in
Kansas for better speech during the
week of December z to a.
The big outstanding feature of the
meeting as far as the Fort Hays Nor
NAL was concerned, was the very
large number of alumni and former
students in attendance at Salina. Il
was estimated that over 800, perhaps
$50, F. H. N. people were at SalinG
A monday luncheon for the F. H. n.
people was given at noon Friday. Due
to the fact that it was almost impos-
sible to arrange for such luncheon,
many former students did not get II
attend because of previous engage
ments. However, about 135 persons
sat down at the table together. Pres
ldent Lewis acted as toast master. Til ;
following persons responded with
