GETS GOOD BARGAIN.
Kansas Pays less for Education Than
Other States.

After nine months Of investigation
the committee on efficiency, composed
of Regents w. A. White of the uni
versity a. l.. Sponsler of the State
Agricultural college and Sheffield In
gals of the State Normal, made its re-
port to the educational commission to-
day. By statistics and charts 1t show
ed the details in the management of
the schools, the service rendered to
the state by every employee from the
executive head to the janitors. The
number of students and the cost for
each student furnished the basis for
comparison of the three institutions
with each other and with similar
schools in other states. From these
facts the committee offered recon-
mendations as follows:
In every branch of higher learn
ing Kansas pays less than the average
amount paid in other states of our
class for education in any type of
school, whether university, agricul-
tural college or normal. But the
worth of these schools and their ser
vice may be greatly increased.
Among the other recommendations
of the committee were the following:
That there be developed at the uni
versity department and laboratory of
public health; that the courses in the
university now being given along the
line of business administration be or
ganized into a school of business ad-
ministration; that the university estab-
lish in the near future a library school
in connection with the library and it's
administration; that all of the institu-
tons of higher e~..~ ion be put upon
a standard as to equipment and sal
aries per capita cost of education per
year, and the number of teachers. fair
~ commensurate with that of other
standard American universities.
To prevent duplication in the three
schools and to do away with jealousy in
the matter of securing appropriations the
committee recommends that the legis-
lature authorize a plan under which a
committee of nine regents. three from
each board be appointed to have control
of a common budget of higher education.
and to look after coordination of work
and the installation of a common bust
ness system. The internal affairs or
each individual school would continue I'M
der separate boards Of six regents each.

lice by the arrest and confession of Ro-
land Channel, 10 years old.
CHANNEL is chauffeur and the police

cennber 2, he stole an automobile, intend
ing to take several of his girl friends for
a ride.
and Fred and invited them for ride
but he had idea that the men IN
tended to commit a robbery.
Channel said it was showing, and the
first intimation he had of the intentions
of his companions was when one of them
remarked:
ITS a fine night for stick-up'
The chauffeur said the men then COM
manded him to drive down dark streets
until they met Mr.. and Mrs. Kaufman
The men jumped out of the machine
and ran toward the victims and a mo-
ment later a revolver shot was heard, ac-
cording to CHANNEL.

tomobile over the route he had said
earlier he Travelled with the bandit crew,
and operated the machine as he said he
did on the night of the murder Kauf-
man, a witness to the incident. said it

route he said he followed in escaping
after the shooting.
