Members of the Iowa educational
administration board are in Kansas
studying the working of the single
board plan. as worked out by the 1918
legislature. W.. R.. Boyd, president,
and w. H. Gemme1l, secretary of the
Iowa board, came to Topeka today
from Des Mo-nes and will spend a day
or two in conference with the MEM
bers OF the Kansas educational board.
Iowa and KanSAs are the only states
operating under single body state
educational board. In Iowa the law
has been deportation about six years.
In Kansas Hhe tIawshas received the
test of but at'little> more than two
years time. Yet the progress made
in Kansas has attracted the attention
of the Iowa men and they will make
? thorough investigation of the work
of the Kansas board. -.
1t is probable that the Iowans will
visit several state schools before re-
turning to Des Moines. They will in
vestigate the Kansas method of ham
ding the budgets from the big state
schools and the distribution of funds
for educational purposes. The Kansas
method Of abOlishing Implications in
the several schools has also attracted
attention in Iowa and the visitors want
to know about this plan. This after
noon the Iowa men were in conference
with E. w. Hoch and Mrs Cora G.
Lewis. members of the Kansas board.
and D. w. Bowen, secretary.

Churchilrs optimistic and fighting
speech Of last night fresh In mind.
It is fully recognized what a treuen-
dous strain has been imposed upon the
British fleet in it's tireless vigil, and
the consequent natural impatience of
the men for fight. But that the Ger

proved by today's prompt reply to Mr..

In view of today's disaster the fol-
lowing narrative of a Munich man who
took part in German submarine trip
to the coast Of Scotland is doubly in

could be added at any time. Increas-
ing the size of the course will depend
upon the acquisition of the s0-acre
