MISS PARRISH TO CHICAGO
Will Investigate Methods Used by
Teachers Agencies.

1CutltIS ABCAACACcs
Miss Grace Parrish director of the
teachers placement bureau of the
Kansas State Teachers association,
who will attend the annual convention
of the National Education association
at Chicago next week, will also at
tend the annual meeting of the Ma
tionaI Association of Teachers
agencies. which will be held on the
same dates. Miss Parrish expects to
get a new insight into the nicholson
the various agencies of the country.
She recently returned from a trip thru
the northwest and California, where
she visited the various teachers bu-
reaus
Altho the bureau is less than a year
old and the conducting of such bu
reaus by teachers associations is still
in the eXperime entail stage, the bureau
of the Kansas State Teachers asso-
citation is growing by leaps and bounds.
Three hundred enrollments have al
ready been received this year and q,
500 or 5000 enrollments are expected
by June. The total enrolment last
year was only a few hundred. One
hundred and fifty teachers were
placed in the various schools of the
state
The Kansas bureau has now be-
come an interstate organization. En-
rollments are being received from
Texas. Oklahoma and Nebraska. The
only requirement for enrolling is hold
ing membership in the Kansas State
Teachers association as the bureau is
operated exclusively for members.
The teachers are charged a commits
sion of two and one-half per cent of
their first years salary when placed
in schools. Last year the bureau
charged no fees. Only one of the
teachers enrolled last year has failed
TO e-enron on account of the new
commission charged. The bureau is
not operated for profit
The bureau now has a larger per
centage of members of the Kansas
State Teachers association enrolled
than the bureau of the California as
ISOLATION, which is the oldest in the
United States

Charged With Theft.

Jimmy Williams. II, of 1894 To-

in getting all he can out of life while
the opportunity offers. Out on $1,000
bond for stealing A Buick car belong
ing to r L. Miller, ia Harrison
street, Jimmy was arrested again this
morning by Sheriff Robert Miller on
charges of stealing another Buick be-
longing to J. W. De Grcff, 1916 Wash
burn avenue.
Phillip Barrett. Is. of 1907 Polk
street, also was arrested in connection
with the theft of the De Croft car
The boy has been on parole from the
industrial school, where he was sent
for a similar crime, according to Of
ficers, some time age
De Croft left his car standing in
front of the Presbyterian church last
Sunday while he attended the services.
When he came out the car was gone.
c. r. Murphy, of the Rent-A-Ford
company, returning from Kansas City
that day, observed the Buick driven by
the boys and recognized one of them.
Turning his car around he overlook
them.
Hello" said Murphy, Stealing cars
ooh, no. one Of the boys replied.
Were just taking this car to K. c.
for man."
Admit Taking Car.
Nevertheless Murphy jotted down
the license number and as soon as he
arrived in Topeka notified the officers,
who Immediately wired the Kansas
City police to be on the lookout. The
Kansas City officers located the car,
but the boys escaped. However, they
returned to Topeka Monday night and
were placed under arrest this morning.
Both admit taking the car, according
10 Miller. The car will be brought
back from Kansas City today, it was
indicated.
The Miller car was taken from In

Sunday, February u. williams and
Loren Sellers, Is. of 1901 Quincy
street, drove it to Kansas City, where
the police became suspicious because
Of the dealers tag it bore and picked
them up. Just as he had the officers
about convinced that everything was
all right. the Sellers boy confessed,
Jimmy declared.
Jimmy was released on 1000 bond
pending his preliminary hearing, but
so many cars and so much liberty
proved too much of a temptation. So
with Barrett he said, he appropriated
De Groffs car to make another trip
to Kansas City. The Barrett boys pa
role probably will be revoked and he
will be returned to the reform school,
it was intimated.
