Saturday evening of the same

an evening shower and the lunch
was served in the local gymna-
sium. A reception was given the
teachers by the County Superin-
tendents Thursday evening July
1st, in the High school building.
Interesting talks were given by
the instructors and the teachers
present were served with delic-
ious refreshments. It seems to
be the unanimous opinion of the
people attending, that the insti-
tute was a success in every pa: :
ticular,
The fact that, out of an attend
ance of approximately 100, eight
were men is a striking and con-
argument for paying our
teachers salaries which will at
least compete with the wage of
the day laborer.

PHONE MEN MEET HERE.
Plans for Increased Efficiency at Con-
yention Opening Today.

The opening meeting OF two or
three-day convention of employees of
the plant department of the Bell Tele-
phone company was held today at the
Chamber of Commerce.
H. D. Livers plant superintendent, is
in charge of the meetings. About
forty-one employees, representing all
the districts of Kansas, are attending
the meeting.
Discussion of various troubles of the
plant department took Dup the entire
day. Chief among their difficulties is
the inability to obtain various sorts of
supplies when needed. The meetings
are being held with a view to laying
plans for increasing the efficiency of
service.
According to Livers. the meetings
will continue tomorrow and as much
longer as is necessary to complete >the
consideration of whatever details may
arise. This is the first of a series OF
quarterly meetings to be held this year.
AS Lvers feels that men who have
spent the entire day in the meetings
are entitled to a little time to them
selves. no meetings have been sched-
uled for the evenings.
