E. Klock, class of '75, President, and Miss Ida Ilodgdon, class of '86-'90, Secretary. We are pleased to 6ee these emphatic recognitions of worthy teachers and, coming unsought, can not but regard them as compliments to the noble institution whose diplomas they bear. Professor Wilkinson, after attending the Kansas State Association during the first two days, made a flying visit of one day to the Nebraska Association, at Lincoln. He found the Kansans who have gone into Nebraska schools all actively engaged in the work of the Association and the officers of the Association rejoicing because their great enrollment brings them nearer than ever before to the Kansas "largeness" of attendance.

There is a good prospect that Kansas and Nebraska may unite their delegations on the way to Saratoga and thus give the teachers of the two states abetter chance to cultivate a neighborly friendship. For some reason, the expenses of the Association have been growing enormously in the past few years, the bill for '91 being within sight of $1,000. A motion was made and carried to limit the expenses to $500 in the future. Notice was also given for an amendment to the constitution fixing the limit at that amount. It was expressly stated that no reflection was intended upon the present otlkers, but simply that the time had come for the Association to give specific instructions as to the maximum amount which it was willing should be expended each year.

The Association adopted the following resolution: Whereas, Our State institutions of learning, the State Normal School, the State University and the State Agricultural College constitute a most essential part of tne great educational system of the State, Resolved That as Kansas teachers we regard with great satisfaction the continued prosperity and efficiency of these institutions, and that we believe it to be the duty of the btate which has so wisely provided for their establishment and endowment to render them the most cordial and generous support. Many thanks, friends and brethren. It seems a little like old times when the State Association was not slow to endorse in generous measure the State institutions, then struggling for a footing and a recognition at the hands of the legislature. See article "Special work opening April 5. Miss M.

A. Whitney has just printed a handsome outline ot United Mates history. It will prove a valuable aid in class or institute work. Enclose twenty-five cents tor a copy. The National Educational Association meeting for 1892 will be held at Saratoga Springs, N.

July 12-15. Professor Wilkinson is state manager again this year, and all who think of going should write him for further information. Death has been hovering very near us during the past quarter. Miss Frances liays, one of our teacners, lost her dear father in December, and during the holidays Johnnie Taylor, seventh grade in the Model School, tell under a street car and was so seriously hurt that he died on New Year's day. The mourning ones so sorely bereaved, have the deep sympathy of all.

Professor Bailey is using all of his odd hours in reproducing the manuscript on his arithmetic. The loss of the original by the carelessness ot the employes of a great publishing house in New York was a sore trial, but we hope it will result in producing even a better work. That the labors ot fifteen years should thus disappear is no light cross for even so genial a man as Bailey. Just here we stop the press to announce the marriage ot Miss M. L.

Clifford and Mr. Charles Collins 'at the home of ihe bride in North Edgecomb, Maine, on January 1. Miss Clifford will remain in charge of her classes until the close of the term. Miss Emma Gridley, class of '88, who took a special course in art with Miss Clifford here and lias spent the last year and a halt in Massachusetts State Normal Art School, will take charge of the work of the department for the rest ot the year. She understands it thoroughly and will no donbt give eminent satisfaction.
