The College Question.

A proposition was this week made to
consolidate the Great Bend city high
school with the Central Normal College,
the two to be conducted in the Morri-
son building. The College board
agreed to put Prof. Porter Young and
D. T. Armstrong in charge, and the
latter two gentlemen proposed to the
city school board to take the students
of the high school and put them
through the regular high school course,
providing the city school board would
furnish the college two accredited
teachers-that is. two teachers author
lied by the State to teach in colleges.
This proposition was made to the city
board of education on Monday evening.
and was referred to a sub. committee
of that board to formulate plan and
report to an adjourned meeting on the
evening of the 10th.
The matter was also discussed at a
special meeting of the Commercial
Club. Tuesday evening, large mum.
Der of business men being present.
All were in favor of assisting the col.
lege to continue in its work; but the
sentiment was divided as to the ad.
visibility of connecting our high school
with it.
AS we 60 to press at 8 p. m. Thurs.
day we cannot say what action the
Board of Education takes Thursday
night. We believe however, that cir
cumstances are such that the high
school plan cannot reasonably be
adopted this year.
