Book of Instruction.
At every station" the instructors
will leave a ten-page booklet which
has been written by the officials of
the company and profusely illustrat-
ed. devoted to the operation of the
machine switching telephone. In the
back of the booklet there will be a
list of all the questions which the
might ask-with the answers along
side them.
That is one phase of the education
of Topeka in the use of the telephone
Another is the use of a moving pic
ture film which has been made in To-
peka, and which shows graphically
the operations which attend the use
of the machine switching phones. The
film. which runs for eight to ten min
utes, is being shown at every gather
ing for which date can be arranged.
There is a scenario attached to the
film, but there isn't any love interest
in the scenario. That is the only
thing lacking.
The film will be shown at the ma
jority of the moving picture theaters
in Topeka, at every performance, for
a week before the conversion from
manual to machine switching occurs.
That is the/second division of the
curriculum, but the officials of the
company who are not bad psycholo-
gists-they must be psychologists and
diplomats, too, to stay in the tele-
phone game-realiZe that what is
seen is better understood and better
remembered, than the things that are
read or heard.
A Demonstration Board.
So they have constructed and
equipped a demonstration board" On
the demonstration board there are
two phones, with a machine for
switching between them, all con-
nected up and in working order.
There are four demonstrators with
the board, whose duty it is to make
its workings SO plain that even the
lay mind will instantly grasp the
principles and the things to be done.
The demonstration board will be
shown in operation at least sixty
times before the conversion is made.
At churches congregational meetings
and the like-it will be on the pro-
gram. Every civic club in the city
has been asked to make room on it's
program for the demonstration of the
new phone. By consent of the board
of education, the demonstration board
is to be taken into the public schools,
high school, grades, and parochial, as
well as to Washburn college.
Lodges and fraternal orders will be
asked to permit the exhibition before
their raenlbe rships. Special groups
will be treated to the show. The state

The education yof mighty nearly
every person in Topeka above the age
of five years, in a new and novel
phase of every day modern American
life. will begin MONDAY morning.
Seventy young men-most of them
students of the Washburn law school,
with a few from other departments of
the college and a few high school
seniors-have been attending a
unique school for the past two weeks,
in preparation for acting as instruc
tors in this new school for everyone,
and will start educating Monday.
A campaign of education which
will cost the Southwestern Bell tele-
phone thousands of dollars and a
multitude of work" has been in
augurated with the idea of teaching
the $4,000 subscribers to the tele-
phone exchange in Topeka, how to
manage the automatic-the tele-
phone men always refer to it as ina
chine switching" equip
ment which is to be used here in the
near future.
Questions on when the conversion is
going to occur are being showered on
every official and employe of the tele-
phone company. every day. But the
officials themselves are not aware of
the date, which will depend upon the
arrival of equipment which is yet in
transit and to be installed, and that
is the answer which they are giving
the public.
Before the conversion occurs, the
officials of the district and of the To-
peka exchange are taking every pre-
caution in the range of human posi-
bility that every person who is likely
to have to use a phone, will know how
to use the new type, when the time
comes.
Call on Subscribers.
Three forms of education are being
used: .
The seventy young men in the
school at the telephone building will
start Monday to call on every tele
phone subscriber in town, and eX-
plain in detail how the new phones
will work.. They are spending six
hours a day in School and have
been attending the school for two
weeks. They are receiving intensive.
training in telephone operation, and
will be equipped when they start their.
round of calls. to answer more ques
lions than any subscriber who doesn't
happen to be a technical expert, will
be able to ask. The young men were
chosen for their quick and retentivea
mental abilities, and their power to
tell other people what they know
themselves. The telephone company
is paying them for the time they are
spending at school as well as the
time they will spend calling on sub
Iscribers- which will be nearly a
month.
The school is in charge of E. J.

Jiggs and Maggie and Dinty Moore
have begun their journey round the
world, to make Honolulu a port of
call for the purpose of enabling J1ggs
and Dinty Moore to witness a hula
hula dance by Hawaiian dancing girls,
was considerably alleviated when the
wireless brought a message from
George McManus forwarding three
kilograms of congratulation feicitat-
ing Jiggs and Maggie on the start of
their long journey round the globe.
One was from Sir Auckland Geddes.
British ambassador to Washington.
conveying an expression of what the
visit of the travellers to parts of the
British empire was sure to do toward
cementing the bonds of good will be-
tween the two great English speaking
peoples. It read:
Informed of the intended trip of
Jiggs and Maggie to Great Britain, L
am delighted to think that they are
going to extend the ingratiating
charm of their personalities beyond
these United States. 1, with all the
rest of the English speaking world,
have a warm regard for the happy
pairs and I hope their visit to my
country will produce a renewed crop
of that good will which is the out
come OF wholesome mIrth.
That sparkling wit and sound phil
osopher, Irwin S. Cobb, is one of the
most enthusiastic of the world army
of Jiggs fans. AS one famous wit to
another he sent Mr.. McManus the
following, which has pleased Jiggs
enormously:
IT Congratulate Jiggs and Maggie
on the happy fact that their friend
and historian, George McManus, is
about to send this delightful couple on
a tour of the world. I am one of that
innumerable host who have joyed III
their adventures at home. I am sure
their experiences abroad will give
added pleasure to all their admirers"

Juvenile Band.
This youthful musical aggregation,
coming from the far southwestern
corner of the state to enter the COM
petition. probably made more popu-
lar appeal to the audience than any
other band in the contest.
This was the first time such con-
test had ever been attempted in the
state and its unqualified success led
to immediate determination to make
it a standard feature of the Free Fair.
There were ten bands in the COMPETE
ton this fall and each signlf1ed Its IN
tention of returning next year. The
first prize, consisting of silk banner
and 5000 cash, went to the Abilene
Boys band, which scored 81 points
out of a possible 100; the second prize
of 500 was won by the Emporia
Boys band with SO points; third prize
of SIS by the Mcpherson Juvenile
band with sc points, and fourth prize
Of $50 by the Eldorado Boys band
with 80 points The bands from Kan
sas City Oskaloosa, Oiathe, Sabetha
and Cimarron all received honorable
mention.
But because of the number of very
young musicians. the earnest endeavor
of the players, the long journey made
TO enter into the competition and the
splendid esprit de corps of the organ
ization. the Cimarron band made a
most favorable impression upon the
audience. 1t was the sentiment of all
connected with the contest that this
band was worthy of and entitled to
recognition for the splendid qualities
shown. 1t was for this reason that
the special award was made to the
Cimarron band.
On the cup is engraved the follow
ing inscription: ITO the Littlest
Band. Special Award Kansas Free
