Supt- Nelson Says Legislature Did
Well bv Them


Notwithstanding the fact that no leg
islation was secured on the state uni
forrnity question, it is State Superin-
tendent Nelson's opinion that the legis-
lature was very generous in regard TO
the educational interests Of the state IN
other lines A number of important ed
ucational laws were enacted. This leg
fslature seems TO have been more than
any of its predecessors foe the estab-
lishment Of county high schools.
1.-THE county high school idea attract
ed popular attention in this state about
fifteen years ago., said Superintendent
Nelson. 1.-The first county high school
was established in Atchison county. at
bingham, in 1888. Since shen. county
high schools have been established in
Dickinson, Labette, Montgomery. Sum-
ner Norton. Thomas, Clay and Chero-
kee counties. The legislature just closed
passed bills providing for the establish
lowing counties: Phillips. Sherman,
Marion Republic. Smith and Jewell
1.-The provisions for Marion county
are peculiar in that arrangements are
made for the establishment OF a county
high school in Marion. Peabody Flor
ence and Hillsboro. This is a new de-
r,arture in the educational work Of the
state and it is believed that the plan is
of sufficient merit to prove more than
a temporary experiment If IL should
be found that the Marion county sys-
tenn is productive Of good. there is every
the state will follow the example. The
idea is along that Of university extern
sion which aims to bring the best edu-
catfonaI privileges within the immediate
reach Of the people. Under the Marion
county plan, parents are able to give
their children a good high school educa-
ton right at home
