Excerpt from Kansas Day: Containing a Brief History of Kansas, and a Collection by Kansas Authors The plan of this little book grew out of the need of such a work, experienced by the author during his labors in the public schools of Kansas. For several years the writer has been gathering scrap-book collections pertaining to Kansas lore, and has successfully used them in general exercises, and in celebrating our State's birthday, with a view to familiarizing pupils with a few leading events and principal characters connected with the history of the State - a history containing all the varying shades, from darkest midnight to brightest noonday. The recent increase of interest among Kansas people upon the subject of government, especially that of our State, is a hopeful sign. The unparalleled political wave which two years ago swept over Kansas, burying from view more than fourscore thousand of the dominant party, demonstrated as never before the power and majesty of a nineteenth century republic. A better knowledge of our political institutions can but lead to better citizenship, in short, good citizenship is impossible unless the people understand the government under which they live.
