TubercuIosis Statistics.

The state board of health has made
a new move in the campaign against
tuberculosis in Kansas. Letters have
been mailed to every physician in the

hope the physicians will cooperate
with US in our fight against tubercu-
losis," said Dr. S. J. Crumbine.

the disease is increasing. There were
were 1000 deaths from consumption
last year. This means that there
are probably 1000 cases in Kansas at
the present time"

For Longer School Term.

I. L. Dayhoff, state superintendent
of public instruction, will ask the next
legislature to make some important
changes in the existing school laws.
The law governing the number of
months in a term of school does not
provide that district shall have more
than five months. Mr. Dayhoff wants
this minimum term heightened TO sew
en- months. The minimum salary
which a teacher may receive at this
time is anything the teacher may want
TO work for. Mr. Dayhoff win ask
that this minimum be fixed at $40 per
month. He will ask that the school
districts be allowed to levy a tax of
20 mills instead of the maximum of II,
now permitted. He believes that the
additional levy will pay the expenses
of the reform he suggests.

tion had of a social character was due

can women to the highest social posi-
tion in the Republic.
