THEY ARE LOYAL
Topeka Teachers Refuse to
Break Their Contracts.
Are Offered Much Higher
Salaries in Other Cities.

There is not only excellent ability
among Topeka teachers, but a graft
tying loyalty, according to A. ]. Stout,
superintendent of schools.
Two teachers who have been Of
fered positions in higher educational
institutions with interesting work and
higher pay have refused the positions
rather than break contracts with the
local board of education. Miss Julia
Davis, who is supervisor of music in
the elementary schools was offered a
position as critic supervisor in the
Pennsylvania State Normal school, but
will continue her work in Topeka
rather than accept the eastern oppor-
tunity. Miss Katherine Tucker of To-
peka, who will succeed Miss Vivian
Herren, as instructor in domestic
science in the Topeka high school, has
refused a position as an assistant to
the head of the domestic science de-
partment in the University of Illinois.
Miss Lucille Smith will be instruc-
tor in q new course to be introduced
in the public schools, that of speech
improvement. Many children are inn
peded in their studies by defects in
their speech, Supt. Stout explained,
and it is hoped that such a course will
relieve such pupils. Often teeth, I'M
