The Topeka Evening Journal
has always been one of the best
eastern newspaper friends that the
Fl. Hays Normal School has and
is continually giving it good no
tees, and in last Saturdays issue
gives US nearly half a page.
Philip Eastman Is one of the best
men on It's editorial staff and he
secured the plans from the State
Architect and gives at the head of
his article a 3 column picture of
the new $4,000 stone building
provided by the last Legislature,
which have been approved and &C
cepted by the Regents, and to be
erected this fail on their so acre
campus on the west side of town.
His article says:

commencing IN November. It will
be of stone, two stories, with a

The new school will start in the

For athletic sports and exercise
the school will have a fine gymnas-

With such a contention among
the cities for the location of this
Western Branch, and the idea that
the Fl. HAYS Reservation matter
was only a Hays city land specula
ton 1t was thought western Kan
sas would give the new Institution
a cold shoulder, But the beautiful
Reservation, with It's 5000 acres of
wheatland, bringing the school that

the students by the citizens and
its excellent churches = the high
moral standard the town has taken
the entire lack of speculation
the central location of Ellis county
of the western half of the state
and the excellence of the teachers
employed and equipment of the
school has made it success from
the sta1t and bound to grow rap
idly,
AS the State Normal at Emporia
had but 43 students enrolled the
6rst year, 80 the second, and II
years passed before the 200 mark
was reached, the regents can well
feel proud of their new western
branch. The last legislature pro-
vided $4,000 to pat up the new
building, $1,000 a year for main
tenance. The wheat fields or their
reservation promise a large income
from the rented lands for years to
come.
