Wichita-Shults Kindergarten.
Tho question Is often asked, "How do
kindergartners find work enough to keep
three grades of little people happily en
gaged day after day?"
A kindergartner never gets out of inter
esting subject for play-work, nor real
work. Nature topics, every-day home
and social relationships, co-operative bus
iness relations, furnish subjects from
which to draw good and great plans which
enlarge the chilo's world-view and, at the
same time, keep him in the child-world of-
beautiful and interesting experiences.
Every day's plan for work or play must
have food for his throe-fold nature, and
too that the mental, moral and physical
nurture may go hand in hand no one
to bocome abnormal in development.
Every day, educators are waking up to
a fuller realization that the salvation of
the country Is to come through the kin
dergarten idea of early cultivating the in
herent faculties and early possibilities of
developing what of good has not been in
herited. State Superintendent Dayhoff will help
Kansas to take the place she should have
in the front rank as an up-to-date educa
tional center. To place the kindergarten
in the public schools of Kansas will be
the most beneficent, official move that a
people can make.
Every voter and their friends will be
welcomed at the endment exercises of tho
Wlchitn-Shults Kindergarten, and an ex
hibit of tho things the children did and
can and may make.

of a high order and each was well ren
dered. Miss Boehme received the first
prize of $15. Miss France, the second,
of 510, and Miss Edwards, the third. $5.
The decision of the judges showed that
the contest was a very close one. there
being a difference of but 3& per cent in
tho markings.
On the evening of May 21 the young
ladies oi the Phi-Kappa Sigma enter
tained some of their friends at a
"spread" in their society rooms. The
evening was very pleasantly spent In
playing -various games, after which came
a delicious supper, with toasts appro-
priate for ihe closing days of the school ;
year. Those present pronounce this one j
of the most pleasing social events of i
the season.
Miss Florence Vlckers. who has the
honor of being tho first graduate of the
music department of the Northwestern
normal, gave her graduating recital in

ber was enthusiastically encored.

The decision of Judge Beauchamp on
the Injunction, which was brought to
prevent the erection of the court house in
the public' square, while Restraining the
commissioners and the contractor from
preceding under tho existing contract.
gives them the' power " to make a new
contract and to erect a building.. The J
decision of the court shows that the
contract was not fradulent." but illegal,
on the ground that tho commissioners
had failed to advertise for bids. The
court enjoined tho county treasurer from
paying the SCO.000 coupons under tho ex
isting contrast, but stated that t!?e com
missioners .could levy a tax of not to
exceed three mills for the purpose of
building a court house on the "rental
plan." By this method, a building cost
ing $40,000 could be paid for in two years
with the present assessed valuation of
Woods county. The. people of Alva are
pleased with the decision, and arrange
ments are being completed for a new
contract, and before many months, Alva
will, no doubt, have as good a. court
house as can be found in Oklahoma.
Senator Campbell, of Oklahoma City,
and Judge Mackey. of Perry, were among
those in attendance at court during the
past week.
The brick are on the ground for the
laying of a new sidewalk 150 feet, in

WHAT DIAZ HAS DONE FOR. MEX
ICO, -c-?-
. ' -. . .-p.
I nthe marvelous development of ;Mex
ico in the past generation Diaz "lias
alpyed tho leading part. Among the fore
most achievements Ht the existihg,Mcxi
can government must be cpup'top - tho
founding of a national school system, free
from sectarian influence. The strong" hand
of the President is also seen in the mar
velous regeneration of tho capital city,
which is now drained by the greatest
piece of sanitary engineering in the worid
and which is being rapidly modernized
In the matter of good pavements. parks,
public buildings, and canals. .
Another great achievement of the "Diaz
administration has been the improve
ment of Mexican harbors on the Gulf and
tho Pacific. The latter fact is -cspccially
noticeable in the instance of the Teliuan
tepec route. By this 'highway goods in
transit from Atlantic ports to California
have an advantage of 1,500 miles over
the proposed Panama Canal.
Conspicuous, also, has been the rail
way development, of which the Tehuan
tepec is the latest phase. At the begin
ning ot' the first term of President Diaz,
in 1S77, but one railway the Mexican, or
Vera Cruz lino, 2S3 miles in length exist
ed in the republic. In 1SS0 the two great
systems of the Mexican National and
Mexican Central railroads were commenc
ed. Railroads now traverse every state
except Lower California, Tabasco, and
Compeachy. At present about 12,000 miles
of railroad, operated by ten companies,
ore in service.
An equally remarkable feature has been
the solving of national financial prob
lems. When Diaz came Into power the
public debt amounted to above $15ft.(00,
and the annual deficit in national reve
nues was near $10,600,000. In fourteen
years the debt had bren reduced fifty per
cent, and the government's Income had
met expenses. Frank H. Taylor in the
