KANSAS HAS A GRACE WAR;"
Associated Press to The Evening Times

Wichita, Kan, June 6.-Wichita's
race war" case, involving an attempt
by the negroes of the city to compel
the school board to admit colored chill
dren to the white schools, will come
UP for hearing before the state SUI
preme court at Topeka tomorrow and
will be bitterly contested by attor-
neys for both sides of the controversy.
The suit was brought in the name of
Mrs. Sallie Rowles, a negress, against
the board of education, to compel it
to allow her daughter to attend one
of the ward schools for palefaces.
The district court. when the matter
was brought before it, held that the
board acted within its jurisdiction
when it ordered the white and colored
pupils separated. Mrs. Rowe, backed
by the negroes Of the city. and a few
whites who still hold sacred the men,
ory Of John Brown. appealed to the
state supreme court. The case has
attracted wide attention, the negroes
declaring that it is the beginning of an
attempt to disfranchise the colored
population and make 1t the victim of
Jim Grow" and other discriminative
laws.

the senior class. Therefore the high
school is a failure. Let us put educa-
ton down to the small child where it
will do some good. Ii child knows,
if a parent knows, that when the child
reaches the eighth grade. he is to stop
school and go no farther, there is an
insurmountable wall. He cannot go
higher because the achievements are
impossible. The grades are never
good unless there is high school in
connection. The high school is never
a success unless there is the posi-
bility OF a university or college educa-
ton. The high school is as necessary
to the grades for encouragement as the
grades are necessary to the high
school to furnish material.
The first normal school was started
in Massachusetts under difficulties.
The founder had to borrow money, he
had to sell his private law library to
start the first rude normal. See how
it has grown-Massachusetts has four
teen, New York has eighteen. and
every other state. with the exception
of Arkansas alone. has one or more
state normals. Every university is
calling for a teachers training college
in connection with their institution.
Teachers training schools and summer
schools for this purpose are spring.
ing up everywhere. Therefore it is
necessary that higher education be
encouraged" Mr.. Shoemaker also
spoke of the work that it required for
success. He said: Work in this
world Is not all high collared work.
The highest calling does not consist
in the creases of mans trousers or the
highness of his collar. You do not
have to work for success. but if you
work you are a success"
Gretchen Gollinger then took the
platform and delighted the audience
wit htwo beautiful vocal solos. She
was followed by Mr.. j. c. Sherlock
who presented the diplomas to the
graduates. Mr.. Burnett then pres
ented the medals offered by P. Girard
and the First National bank to the two
winners, Walter Quigley and Gunda
Dahl.
The commencement exercises last
night were undoubtedly the best ever
held in the school.
After the exercises. the members OF
the senior class were entertained by
the Phi Gamma society.

Is High School a Failure9

DR.. Shoemaker of the St. Cloud nor
NAL followed with an excellent adj
dress. The speaker tried to convince
his hearers of the necessity of a high
er education. He said in part: at
was only three or four generations
ago that the first teacher was ever
trained for her profession. 1t was not
long ago that Martin Luther argued
for universal free education. It was
only yesterday, comparatively, only in
1888, when the governor Of South
Carolina in an address to the people
said, 1 thank God that the common
school is failure The children
ought to work. The civilization in the
latter part of the nineteenth century is
hardly what it ought to be. The most
critical part in the history of the
United States was not during the civil
war or during the revolution. 1t was
in the latter part of the past century.
Others argue that the high school is
failure. They say that ninety PEI
cent of those in the grades never en-
ter high school and ninety per cent
of those in the high school never see

TOO MUCH ALLOWANCE.
Some Yale Lads Are Said to Have Too
Much Money.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, March THE dan
ger of a too liberal allowance to students at
Yale University is set forth in statistics
gathered by Prof. William B. Bailey Of the
department of political economy.
Professor Bailey obtained his data from
800 students and considers that fair
average is reached in attempting to esti-
mate the expenditures of the Yale student
and the differences of expenditures between
the poor and the rich student. Five groups
were made, beginning at the students who
spend less than $500 during their college
year and extending to those who spend over
$1,000. The average amount spent by STU
dents working their way through college
is $292.SO.
The largest group spend between $500 and
$1,000, while but nine spend over s., GOO. The
man in the $500 group spends per cent on
clothes, while it is % per cent with the
man who spends more than $1,000 year.
The wealthy students are lavish with gifts,
spend more on intoxicants than on tobacco
and literally patroniZe the theaters Sta
tistics show that the pipe is the favorite
with the Yale smoker, and that for every
dollar spent by the poorest students the
wealthiest spend $S.43.> By table of per-
centages the wealthiest students are shown
to spend eighteen times much on pleas
ure and eighty-two times much on to-
-bacco and yintoxicants as the poorest stu
dents.
