Latest Kansas Events.
Need Not Pay Tuition Now.

Students in city high schools who
live outside the city limits in counties
which adopted the provisions of the
Barnes high school law need not pay
any more tuition for the balance of
the present school year, according to
an opinion given out by E. T. Fair
child, state superintendent The opin-
ion says that the Barnes law became
effective as soon as it was adopted by
the county and that after its
adoption it would be illegal to col
lect tuition from the students them
selves. But the law did not make
any provision for paying this tuition by
the county for the present school year
and no county can begin paying tut
ton until next fall.

Numerous "Pockea Testament
Leagues" have been organized among
the boys and girls and young people

testament in his or her pocket, reads
the Scriptures daily and endeavors to
win others to Christ The members
meet weekly at one another's homes
for testimony and prayer.
Another result of the revival is that
several have decided to become
preachers or Gospel singers. One lad,
about Is years of age, said he had de-
cided to become a minister, while an
other about IL said that was what he
wanted to do. A young workman in

didn't stay the entire II hours, but the
meeting went on without a break. and
the average present throughout the
day was fully 600. Hundreds spent

singing praises and praying. Between
five and six o'clock all knelt and con.
