warningly, I'VE want to hear just
what you know-not what you think,
not what you've heard. or what
someone else knows, but just what

that Thomas Johns wife-at any

PREDICT SUCCESS
Edward Il. Hackney Optimistic
About Kansas Schools.
DrOuth Won't Affect Attend
ance-Increased Enrolment.

Lawrence, Aug. 29.-Edw. 7. Hack
ney, president of the new board of ad-
ministration of Kansas schools, pre-
diets a great year for Kansas univer-
sity and for all the other state schools.
Mr. Hackney was here to attend the
board meeting at the university and
was enthusiastic over the prospects for
the coming year and looks for success
and continued growth of the university
during the coming year. Mr.. Hackney
expects bic enrolment at the school
and says that he does not think that
the crop shortage over the state will
decrease the attendance this year.
Mr. Hackney gives two reasons for
expecting a larger attendance at Kan
sas university and other state schools
this year. Mr.. Hackney says that the
crop shortage and check in business
is one reason. When business is good
many students take positions for the
summer and then dislike to give them
up in the fall and as result do not set
back to school as they had planned
But when business is poor and work is
short there is no such temptation.
The second reason advanced by Mr.
Hackney is that some students who
had planned to go to school farther
away will feel unable to meet the ex-
penses and Will remain in Kansas and
attend some Kansas school
In the matter of faculty for next
year, Mr.. Hackney stated that the
board is filling all vacancies that oc-
CURED and the university will not suf-
fer any from the loss of men. There
has been some alarm felt because of
the large number of designations this
year, but Mr. Hackney says the board
has filled these places with good men
and the standard of the university
teaching staff Will not be reduced
