Washburn College Registration
Shows Increase.
Big Gain in Students From
Over the State.

Although the enrollments for the
fine arts and the law schools are not
yet completed, the total enrolment
for Washburn college will run ahead
of last year, said Prof ]. E. .Kirkpat-
rick, field secretary for the college,
this morning. When these depart
ments are in. the enrolment will pass
the 500 mark.
THE enrolment in the college
proper is about $780," he said. This
is AN increase of between and Z per
cent over last year. This increase is
not due so much to the larger number
of new students. as it is to the unusual
number of old students returning.
The Freshman class will be about the
same as last year, 100 or so. This
years graduating class will be the
largest in the history of the school.
as far as present indications will en-
able us to judge
The academy, or preparatory de-
partment, of the college shows the
largest increase. Here the enrolment
has increased between 35 and 40 per
cent. Many Of the students enrolled
in that de Iartment are from those
counties which have only a one or
two year high school course. A ma

BOWMAN fAVORS IT.
Argument for Mothers Pension in
Orphans Home.

1t costs Kansas $4-65 week to board Il
child at the State Orphans Home at
Atchison, according to the biennial re-
port of the state board of control which
was recently completed. Besides this
each year. more money is spent in the
way of special appropriations and the ac-
cumulations of endowment fund
known as the Dell fund. The item of $465
does not include a reasonable interest on
the investment of about half a million
dollars which has been made by the state
in the plant where the home is operated.
This fact is taken by H. c. Bowman,
member of the board of control. as an
argument in. favor of the diversion of
pension fund. The mothers pension was
proposed in a bill that failed of Passage
at the last legislature but will probably be
revived as all political parties in their
present platforms have endorsed the
idea.
In signed communication to the State
Journal Mr.. Bowman states his views on
this point.
