and 1 in Kansas City Central Man
ual, Wcstpogt and Lincoln; the %
others are in as many different cities
and towns, t2D There are 70 second
class high schools. each doing three
years of approved work, but not four
years. Many Of them do four years
work. some of which can not be ap-
prOved-some on account Of lack OF
equipment or school room, others be-
cause Of short terms or insufficient
teaching force In number or prepare
tion. Ca There are 1903 third-class high
schools, each doing two years of. ap-
proved work. Many Of these fall be-
low second class for one or more OF
the reasons stated above. ti There arc
