FOR NIGHT SCHOOL
House Passes Senate Bill by
TrOutman.
Such Schools May Be Created
Discretion School Boards.

The house has adopted the night
school bill which was launched in the
senate by Senator Troutman of Shaw
nee county and passed that house sew
eral days ago. 1t is now in the power
of the school boards of Kansas to or
der the establishment of night schools,
with ample provision under the terms
of the bill for the maintenance of such
an institution.
Night schools for period of five
months during the year and for not
less than three nights week are at
the discretion of the municipal school
boards under the Troutman bill. Only
the signature of the governor is now
needed to make the measure a law and
put it in full operation. 1t is not
probable. however that night schools
will be established in Kansas until
next winter.
Kansas men and women, without age
limit, may enjoy the benefits of the
new night school law. Special in
structors may be provided by the
municipal school boards and all
branches of common school work will
be taught. No tuition will be charged
and boys, girls, men and women alike
may take advantage of the opportuni-
ties of this new school. With provis-
ion for a five months winter course,
it is claimed that thorough course of
study can be outlined and educational
facilities aHOrQeQ nunufeQS Oh per-
who through misfortune have been oe-
MED the rights of a regular common
school education.
That old Waggener-Orr fight took
real form and came to the surface
today when the house considered and
adopted the Waggener resolution for
a constitutional amendment providing
for an income tax. Orr led the fight
on the measure, but was unable to
block its passage. The measure was
adopted in the house by a vote of
80 to 5.
Earlier in the week Orr attempted
TO secure the passage of his internal
improvement resolution. After a call
of the house, which was held for more
than an hour, the measure still lack
ed six votes of passage. Waggener's
income tax resolution had been second
in favor among the house members
But when Orr'S resolution was lost
he moved to strike all other constitu-
tlonal amendments from the calendar
He won. But Thursday night, Speak
