CHANUiE STUDENTS

Leave to Study in Schools Of
Higher Learning--Larges
N amber to K. u.

In contrast with the current which
is bringing back to Chanute teach
ers and students for the work of the
new school year an out going stream
has begun and will soon increase
the number of young people who go
away to attend higher institutions
of learning. Though the departure
brings regret to the homes and often
misgivng to the students them
selves yet it is all tribute to the
educational ambitions of the young
people and to,he character of the
Chanute schools which have pre-
pared them for larger studies. The
University of Kansas claims more
representative than any Other
school though other institutions in
and outside the state also gain i
goodly number of students from
Chanute.

will be represented this year from
Chanute by Mrs. Olive Buchanan
in the School of Fine Arts, and ir
the Law school by Byron Shinn and
