USE SCHOOL HOUSES MORE.
State Gets More Out of It's Twenty
Million Dollar Investment.

University of Kansas, April 3d.
Kansas is leading every other state
in the country in the rapid develop
ment of its schools, the increasing
number of students enrolled, and the
enlargement of its investment in
school property" declared w. H.
Johnson, high school inspector for the
university, in commenting on the fact
that Kansas spent on school houses
last year $1,36O,000. an increase over
the previous year of $S9S,00O.
Enough new school houses were
built in Kansas last year to make a
fair sized town, If gathered in
group. The total number of such
buildings is 1912 and the number of
rooms in them is 14,457. But the
most significant thing about the de-
veIOpment of the year has been the
awakening of Kansas people to the
fact that in the school house the peO-
pie have a clubhouse and forum going
to waste for lack of use. What is more
natural than that the school house,
owned by the people and idle every
evening, should be used as the peo-
pies clubhouse and become the social
and civil center. The people have
begun to see that it is poor policy
to carry a twenty million dollar in
vestment and use it only 40 per cent
of the time.

Youngsters.

Kansas City, April 3O.-The women
directors of the Children's home of
Kansas City, Kan, have 35 bright,
happy. healthy children to lend for
the summer. The 35 now are at the

women would like to have the child
rem cared for by families. The direc-
tors hope that all So will find farm
homes during the summer.
In past merS, town and rural
families have given children from the
home outings for several weeks, and
always they have been reluctant to
give up the little ones. The children
can be had for five months this sum-
mer.
The children are from 8 to IL years
old. About half are girls. Some of
them are for adoption and the direc-
tors believe those taken into homes
for the summer may be kept perman-
entity.
