TO KEEP STREAMS PURE.
The National and State Governments VIII
Cooperate In Protecting Southeast
Kansas from Epidemic,

Washington. Oct. 12.-Within recent
years the southeastern part of the state
Of Kansas has undergone remarkable
development by reason Of the progress
in developing the mineral wealth
abundant in that section. This has been
followed by the rapid growth of nu-
merous municipalities and, as a result,
questions of municipal water supply
have become urgent. The United
States geological survey through its
hydro-economic section has made Co
operative arrangements with the chem
istry department Of the University OF
Kansas, at Lawrence, to make peri
odical examination Of streams in that
part of the state. The plan contem-
plates the examination of water from
the Verdigris and Neosho rivers and
the determination Of the most approved
methods of maintaining these streams
in a condition that will make them &C
ceptable for domestic use. The water
is injured by the presence of waste wa
ter from coal, lead and zinc mines and
by refuse material from the oil fields.
This fault will grow with the growth
OF the industries unless preventive
action is taken.

DESPITE TUITION FEE.
Attendance mt the University of Kansas
Is Much Larror Than This Time
q Year As-o.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 12.-Despite the
tuition law, the attendance at the Kan
sas university is larger than at this
time last year when there was no tut
ton law. Probably no other state in
stitution In Kansas can show the same
enrolment cince the law went into eff
feet. The total enrolment up to date
is 1926, against 1,101 at the same time
last year. The Kansas normal, which
had several hundred more students
last year than the university, has fallen
below the Lawrence school this fall.
OF the 1888 now enrolled, IA are ne
groes, Italian, Japanese and In
dian. In the arts school, which Is by
far the largest division of the univer-
sity, there are 553 enrolled, of which
313 are girls and 240 boys. In the
senior class there are A boys and 80
girls. making "a graduates for this
year, with few more to come in. In
the Junior class there are more than
three girls to every boy. The to-
tai number in this class is SO.
Of which "a are boys and Is
girls. The sophomores run 40 boys
and 62 girls, and the freshman class 81
boys and So girls. In 1894 there was
maximum enrolment of G91 students.
In the last ten years the attendance
has increased 1913 per cent. From 1894
until 1898 the men increased from 207
to S17, but now they have decreased to
240. This is the school Of arts alone.
Women have increased in this branch
Of the university since 1894 1911 per
cent, and the men only 1871 per cent.
The present junior class, which entered
school in 1901, has Is per cent. more
girls than boys. The reason advanced
for this is the Spanish-American war.
which took number of young men
out of the high schools and academies.
The school of engineering has shown
an increase this year and now has q
total enrolment of 282 students over
1874 last year. OF this number there
are only two girls, Miss Ada Wilson,
