The Concordia public schools opened Monday morning. To one who has passed through the discipline of the public school and the college, the yearly beginning of school is one of the delights of the year.

The clamor of the children and their presence upon the streets in going to and from the sessions, dissipates that melancholy that comes when the summer school days are gone and the voices of the children are temporarily hushed.

The teachers have been selected after careful consideration and the schools are fortunate in securing such recognized instructors.

She is an educator of much ability. Prof. Haney of Emporia and Miss Fowler, of Excelsior Springs, and Miss Hakes, of Clyde, who was a teacher in the high school here last year, are assistants to Miss Whitney in the high school. ee, one at 10 a. m.

The farmers of Cloud county are always pretty busy. Of recent years when the crop has been harvested, instead of a vacation, they are kept busy looking for a safe investment of their money. A number of them are not investing but are improving what land they already own, that they may live more comfortably. The number of fine houses and bains built in the last two years testify to the truth of the above statement. The recent rain put the ground In fine shape for fall plowing and seeding and the farmers have been kept busy at that work.
