H. It. Stock for said. Corraroiidenoe There are a few legislators just awakening from Rip Van Winkle slumbers, who do not yet realize that public opinion in Kansas nas passed that shameful period when it was considered popular to denounce educational institutions and officials. That was the period when cyclonic reformers thought they were doing God and the state a valuable service in demolishing normal schools, and abusing teachers and superintendents.

What some imaginative being calls the "fretted vaults" of the state house do not now reverberate with the applause of listening senators as in the halcyon days of 3 ore, when windy demagogues denounced t-tato educational institutions, or with red faces shrieked for the abolition of educational offices. That humiliating time in our history when county Buperintendants appeared before the legislature, with metaphorical halters around their necks, and in whining, tremulous voices asked, "PJease, gentlemen, may we exist a little while has passed never to return. The great state of Kansas is not in short dresses now. It has put away childish things. Its legislature listens with unmistakable impatience to the demagogical ranting of so-called reformers, who imagine that the sure road to popularity lies in mutilating our school system, and in flinging obstructions in the path of liberal legislation.

Astonishing as it may appear to certain politicians, the road to popular favor wiIJfle found to lie more and more in tho opposite direction. John MacDonald. II. B. No.

Ihe proposition contemplate the erection of a two story building costing about $3,000 at Cummings. The Cummings district would necottsarily bear tho heaviest pro- portion of the cost, as it would use a part of tho building for its district school. The school population of tho three districts is now about 200; the aHRHM'd valuation about 8200,000.

The additional taxation would therefore be very uniall, in fact insignificant in com- ariHon with the benefits to be derived roin tho high school.

Kldorado lit publican: Tho teachers of the city reboots ar making a concerted effort to do some useful work in language. Loss attention is paid to diagramming of sentences and more to the actual use of languago in writing and composition. It is considerable more essential to be able to construct a sentence than to take one to pieces teach a girl to make a dress by picking out the stiches, or a boy to build a borne by taking one to pieces.

Yet that is jnst tbe way many teachers attempt to teach the correct uso of language. These pupils as a ruh can tell you all about tho ports of tho sentence and yet can not write half a dozen lines eorroctly. They pay no attention to capital letters or to punctuation. They cannot write a letter that is fit for exhibition, and yet the ability to do this is just what a boy needs, llow many boys or girls make any one of diagraming, or parsing of eentencc3 after they leave school Only hose who teach.

Mr. Lee Ilamsey is conducting a valuable and inlerexting educational department in the Tonganoxie News. lie was tho educational representative of our government Vienna exhibition in 1873, at at the Paris exhibition in 1878, and was superintendent of the Massachusetts educational exhibit at Philadelphia in 1876. A certain senator told the senate, to clinch his argument in favor of low salaries for educational work, that the great state of Michigan with its magnificent school system and still more magnificent university, paid its state superintendent but one thousand dollars per annum. Michigan haB a university to which its people can point with pardonable pride, but the magificence paid to be permeating the school system of that state, has not yet been discovered.

If Michigan rays its state superintendent but $1000 dollars per year, tho fact should not be told in Oath nor published on the streets of Askelon. It just possible that the pcoplo of Michigan may have become so kbfiorbf'd in the top story of the educational structure that the foundation has been neglected and forgotten. Another fenator isaid county superintendents were paid as much as they earned now. It is loudly whippered in political circles that tho honorable senator who said this is a prospective candidate for congress. If he succeeds he will be ftsid 95,000 a year, mileage, and miscel-ancous perquisites.

Superintendents are not paid mileage, neither have they the franking privilege, and therefore cannot send their washing and garden seeds by mail. It is probably a wicked thing to do, but indwelling depravity impels one to ask, whether, when the honorable senator is made a congressman he will earn the $5,000, mileage, and perquisites which belontr to that position or not? It would probably be romewhat embarrassing if the nine county superintendents, and 1,500 school teachers in his congressional district should, during the campaign, cluster around him and ask distressing questions of this kind. this house to re-ent tne Indignities neaped upon an honorable people by refusing to be a party to this deal.

C. Wilson's restaurant, and at the time of his arrest by Captain Curtis, was surrounded by about fifty fellows, all drinking and carrying on a great rate.

He was given time to change his slippers for boots, and was then taken to the county; jail. Not being able to furnish the required band of 82,000, which is customary in such offenses, he was placed in a cell.

Ferguson has lately been engaged in the grocery business in North Topeka, and thought that he would abandon the grocory store proper and begin the sale of wet groceries, an occupation very much more lucrative, and at the present time very much more risky. The proprietor of the other joint was J. Larson, who was selling at the Madison house, corner of Madison and Fourth streets. Deputy Sheriff A. Kuykendall arrested him, and in default of $1,000 bail, he was placed in jail.
