From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for March 17, 1913:

“‘The home is shifting its burdens upon the public school.’ This was the charge preferred against parents yesterday afternoon by Prof. W. S. Huesner, who was speaking before the meeting of the Federation of Women’s Clubs. Prof. Huesner argued that the parents were expecting too much from the teachers in the schools, that they are neglecting the children in the home and are depending upon the teacher to care for them. He urged a closer cooperation between the parents and the teachers and urged the parents to visit the schools, acquaint themselves with the teachers and with the conditions of the school.”

“The cold snap and general storm over the country has sent the duck hunters out in swarms to the ponds, swamps, and the river. A few that have returned have reported the hunting fine and success great.”

“The Helping Hand of Electric Service: It is the General Electric Radiant Toaster. This Toaster was designed to make Perfect Toast for discriminating people — and it does. When you eat Toast made on a General Electric Radiant Toaster you will quickly appreciate the big difference between Perfect Toast and the other kind. And you would recollect that Toast is a very ‘versatile’ food; it is the foundation for scores of the most deliciously toothsome viands. Perfect Toast is therefore vitally essential. Aside from the quality of this Electric Toast, each slice only costs one-tenth of a cent. And there is a positive joy in making it, for there is something cozy and cheerful about the soft glow of the coils reflecting on the shining white porcelain base. The General Electric Radiant Toaster adds grace and charm to any table. Lawrence Railway & Light Co.”
