superintendent Marshall, of the
Hutchinson reformatory, has made his
biennial report, and in the brief synop-
sis of it that is sent out from Hutchin-
son great stress is laid on the excellent
financial showing made by the reform
atory farm during the past year. This
is indeed good, and superintendent
Marshall is to be congratulated on it.
but what the state of Kansas is more
interested in is whether any of the boys
and young men sent to the Hutchinson
reformatory have really been re-
formed.
AS the State Journal understands it,
this institution has been built by the
state. not as a place where young men
who are so unfortunate as to be caught
in the tolls of the law may be sent to
make money for the state by working
on a state farm, but where those who
have taken their first wrong stepza
step in a life Of crime-may be sent to
be reclaimed to life Of righteousness;
a place where they may really be re-
formed=not alone punished-and sent
out into the world to be useful citi-
zens, an honor to themselves and to
their friends.
Some time ago there was complaint
that the reformatory Is conducted too
much with an eye to its financial side
and not enough for the moral improve
ment of it's inmates. This is a serious
matter. An inmate Of the reformatory
who is really reformed is a convict
saved from the penitentiary, and the
state is saved the money it would cost
to convict and punish him when he
should become a hardened criminal.
Reformation is really the important
thing about the reformatory. and It is
to be hoped that the superintendent's
full report throws some light on what
is being done along this line down
there.
The Hutchinson reformatory. more
than any other institution in the state,
unless it be the two industrial schools.
needs to be run by men who are cap
able of developing the moral side of
the inmates-to make good citizens of
them instead of Furnishing them for a
season and then turning them loose to
land later in the penitentiary. Is the
reformatory accomplishing this?

Yet Harper is by no means excep-
tional IN this respect. Every town and
county in Kansas has its quota Of
young people who are acquiring a
higher education. Harper is well out
towards the shortgrass country, yet
the short grass itself is prolific of col
Iege students.
The prosperity of these later years,
combined with a natural desire for a
good education on the part of the
Kansas hoy and girl. is responsible for
this outpouring Of students. Kansas
people know how to value learning and
knowledge, and now that wheat and
corn and alfalfa and cattle and hogs
have paid off the mortgages and built
up a bank account, the money is being

We may boast of the great crops
produced by our farms, and the wealth
accommodating in our banks, but no
crop that Kansas produces is more to
its credit than this crop of college boys

THE TEXT BOOK COMMISSION.

THE TEXT BOOK COMMISSION
In connection with the controversy
now waging over the text book COM
mission, Governor Hoch takes occasion
to congratulate himself on the commits
sion which he appointed. and the per-
sonnet of the greater part of it is such
as to warrant the governors action. In
fact. if all of Governor Hoch's admin
istration were equal to the majority Of
his appointments. the people of Kansas
would be well satisfied with it.
Among the members of the text
book commission are such men as
President Hill, of the State Normal;
Frank Nelson and George w. Winans,
both former state superintendents:
Willard Lyon, former superintendent
of Lincoln county; A. B. Carney, for
years superintendent of the Concordia
schools-these and doubtless other
members of the commission would be
hard to excel either as educators or as
gentlemen of integrity
The appointment on the commission
that IS attacked is that of d. o. Nc
Cray. Mrs. G. G. Burton presents
strong evidence that Mr.. McCray was
at one time a lobbyist for the book
trust, and she says she showed this evt-
dence to Governor Hoeh.
It seems to be generally admitted
that Mr.. McCray looks after the inter
ests of the Pullman company in Kan
sas. although what bearing this has on
the text book controversy the voter
viii have to judge.
The State Journal has repeatedly
criticised Governor Hoch, but it also
desires to give him credit wherever he
merits it, and it believes the appoint
ment of this text book commission.
taken as a whole. is one of these places.
In view of Mrs. Burton's data, it
would probably have been just as vel
had Governor Hoch left Mr.. McCray
of his list. His appointment may have
been an error, but if so. it was one of
the minor mistakes of Governor Hoch's
administration.
