STOP TOO EARLY
In Town Few Pupils Finish
Eighth Grade.
Shawnee County Reports Shock
to Local Educators.
RURAL RECORD GOOD
Twice as Many Students in Adj
vanced Grades.
No Fault Of Teachers, Superin-
tendent Says.
RURAL RECORD GOOD

Reports received by County Super
intendent John F. Eby from 1872 of
the 1856 teachers in the Shawnee coun-
ty schools shows that on January II,
there was a total enrolment in the
grade schools of 3.641 pupils. This
record is a shock to educators and
shows that Shawnee county children
are not travelling through the grade
schools with the regularity that many
people imagine.
OF 646 pupils in the first grade in
the county schools, the record shows
a steady drop until the seventh grade
is reached. Here there are but $40
pupils-or less than so per cent as
many as in the first grade. The eighth
grades show an attendance of $40
This boost is explained by the fact that
many pupils spend more than one
year on this grade and the attendance
represents an accumulation OF from
two to three years.
Country Districts Help Report.
Much of the trouble with the re-
port is in the city schools, where It
has been found almost impossible to
convince budding youth of the neceS-
sity of higher education. In the rural
districts, the argument seems to have
been more readily graSped. 1t is the
rural territory that saves the report.
Take for example the reports from
Rossville, Oakland, Shorey and the
Vile the first grade attendance is 90,
while but 20 pupils are in the eighth
grade. The Oakland school shows 60
pupils enrolled in the first grade with
81 in the eighth. Shorey reports 50
in the first with but six in the eighth.
West Sixth makes the record slump
with 3S in the first grade and only
three pupils trying for common school
diplomas.
Then take the country schools The
condition is just the reverse District
96 has two pupils in the first grade,
with six in the eighth. Then compare
! No 40 with a showing of the pupils
in the West Sixth district. In dis
trict No. 40 there are just two pu-
pills in the first Grade, while an even
! 20 are working in the eighth grade
District 46 shows 8 il the first and
| "a in the eighth. District reports
five in the first and Is in the eighth,
with report from district No of
/ one lone pupil il the first grade and
nine in the eighth.
This isn't the fault of the teach
ers or any of the school officers,
| said superintendent Ely, as he pom
dered over the report. 1T just repre-
sents a condition in the different To-
| calities shat must be commended with
and ore that - often hard to ex-
plain
Regardless of the truaney laws and
the efforts to herd the youngsters tc
the school rooms 8, there is still 9
slump in many Of the grades. This
is the report of attendance by
grades, as was compiled by Superin-
tendent Ely:
First grade. SIG; second grade, 427
third grade, 467: fourth grade AZ
fifth grade, AS; sixth grade, $40
seventh grade $40; eighth grade, 525

Victim of Aviator Longren Leaves the
Hospital.

William Kopseker, not Jaenicke, as
was reported, who was hit in the head
with 4 hammer by A. K. Longren Fri
day, has recovered sufficiently to leave
the hospital and went to his home at
SOC Clay street, this morning. Mr. Kop
seeker was struck in the head by
Longren after first having hit the lat
ter. He was taken to the Stormont
hospital in an unconscious condition
where he was treated by DR.. c. M.
Hensley. DIR. Rensley stated that his
skull was not fractured as was thought.
Up to this time no information has
been filed against A. K. Longren. He
was booked at the police station on
the charge of committing an assault
pending the results of the injuries sus-
tanned by Kopseker. Kopseker was re-
ported as Jaenicke and is frequently
identified by this name. which is that
of his stepfather.
Mr. Kopseker, after returning to his
home today talked with a reporter dur
ing which he said that Longren struck
him on the shoulder with a pipe wrench
before he nit Longren He then hit
Longren and Lcngren felled him. He
thought it was a pipe wrench but 1t
may have been some other kind of 4
wrench. He said further that he tried
% avert trouble with Longren but the
latter forced it on him.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
No Binding Presidential Pri-
mary Can Be Held Here.

Is No Law.
RUSSELL in RACE.
La Crosse Man Candidate for
Congress in Seventh.
I'M. Geddes Candidate for Presi-
dent Kansas Day Club.

The advocacy of presidential pri-
mary for Kansas this year by State
Chairman DolIey has revived that ques-
ton in the public eye since the talk
of the special session died out. Mr.
Doney has served notice that hes will
bring the matter before the state com
rr1ittee. He understands that no leg l
or binding primary can be held in Kan
sas without a state law behind it. The
national committee has taken the posi-
ton that in states where there is not a
primary law the delegates -hould be
selected by convention.
The primary is to be merely a recon-
mendation. Delegates selected by d
convention will be the only bona fide
delegates that Kansas can send to
Chicago this year.
1t is reported that w. H. Russell,
the well known attorney of Lacrosse,

reason that nearly the entire Wash
