Nobody can eive them to him or take them from him. He can not acquire them by inheritance; he cannot buy them or beg them or bor row them.

They belong to the individual and are his unquestioned prop erty. He alone can part with them. They are good things to have and keep. They make happy homes; thev achieve success in every walk of life; they have won the greatest triumphs for mankind. No man who has them ever gets into the police court or before the grand jury or in the workhouse or the chain gang.

They give one moral and material power. They will bring you a comfortable living, auake you respect yourself and command the respect of your fellows. They are iudispensable to success. They are invincible. The merchant requires the clerk whom he employs to have them.

The railroad corporation inquires whether the man seeking employment possesses them. Every avenue of human endeavor welcomes them. They are the only oimor- tunity to struggling mankind.

On or about June a common school alumni association with Prof. F.

P. Hedges, president; Miss Alta B. Campbell, vice president; Mamie Baird. secretary and treasurer. The association numbers aliout seven hundred, the tenth anniversary was celebrated on June 29.

The organization was assisted by Mrs. Agnes B. Craw ford under whose administration the classification and grading of the common schools began, and by Mrs. Hattie Ham of Parsons, Kansas. At no time previous has a greater interest in school work been manifest, on the part of both patron and teacher In several instances not noted before levies have been made to secure libra ries for the district and the ide awake and up to-date teacher has by entertainment or other means secured substantial cases for the books.

There is ample accommodation for nine thousand school children, pro- rided by happy and prosperous pa trons of our county and no youth need grow to manhood or womanhood ith out a good education. The helpful and courteous spirit of the teachers of Labette eounty to the County Superintendent is duly ac knowledged and highly appreciated. In normal work, county associations and reading circle an unusual effort was made to attain a high standard in those departments. Twenty-two professional certificates were issued to members of the reading circle. The work of organizing pupil's read ing circles claims the attention of many teachers who have begun the year's work.

We are confident that the work in many respects will exceed that of the past because of the determined efforts and greater opportunities. Very Respectfully, ANNIE S.ARNOLD, Co. Supt. Pub. Inst.
