Additional Comments:
Transcriber's note:  Local literary societies used local schools as a meeting 
place and had their programs to provide an enlightening form of entertainment 
in the late 1800s in western Kansas, at least.  Someone may find their programs 
to be an interesting tool for research or a means to develop the character of 
these families.
