illuminating, indeed, is the sixteenth
biennial report of the state department
of education as prepared by Mr.. e. T.
Fairchild, the efficient state superin-
tendent He had a wealth of material
to work on, to be sure, but he used it
in discerning ways to set forth in the
best possible form the magnitude and
importance of the educational activi-
ties which are being pursued in Kansas
and the fine results which are
being accomplished by them. They are
of a character of which any state
might well be proud. And they repre-
sent facts and figures which should
give the utmost satisfaction to every
one in the state.
The number of children of school
age in the state, over 5000 is prob
ably proportionately larger than would
be similar figures from most of the
other states of the Union. The proper
ton of these children in attendance on
| the schools is also large and helps to
demonstrate two facts which are CO.
relative: a lack of poverty among the
people of the state and a lack of a
necessity for children of the school age
to waste their youthful years and
| strength at labor tasks.
To provide adequate schooling for all
of thse children is no small undertake
ing, nor is it an inexpensive one. In
fact, it runs up into the millions of dol
lars, over $7.000,OO0 a year to be more

payers who furnish this money have
the consolation of knowing that most
