situations by the state board of edu-
cational administration. The board
recommendations have, in the main
been carried out in the bill which the
committee viii Esport- back to the
For the University ss
Money for the completion Of the
central section of the state university e
administration building, to the
amount Of $25O.OO Is provided in the
senate committees recommendation.
The universitys demands this year are
proportionately much in excess OF
those of the other institutions and
have come in for the hardest trim
ming of any given by the committee.
Instead of the $161,O0O increase for
general maintenance at the university,
the committee will recommend an
appropriation Of $4,000.
At Manhattan.
The State Agricultural college is al
lowed an increase OF approximately
$3.50, 900, including 100000 for a new
physics building. The committee rec
commended provision for the fund to
meet the federal appropriation called
for in the Smith-Lever bill for the en-
enlargement of agriculture in Kansas.
This will amount to $4,000 in 1915 and
about 81, 900 in 1916.
At Pittsburg.
A domestic science building to cost
$125, 900 will be recommended at Pitts
burg where the rapid growth of the
State Normal Manual Training school
is crowding the capacity Of that school.
1t also will be allowed an increase Of
$48, 900 for maintenance.
At Emporia.
The Emporia state normal schools
request for $1S5,OOO for a new main
building has also been approved by
the senate ways and means commit
tee. This il regarded az one of the
most important building provisions of
this years appropriations as the En-
poria normal is disastrously handi-
capped by lack OF needed room. The
committee also allowed $4,000 for
increased running; expenses.
Hays Normal.
Hays normal school has shown the
most phenomenal increase of any .of
the state schools in the last two years.
It's population has tripled since the
last legislature administered to its
financial needs and this year the SEN
ate committee has placed its o. K. on
the state boards Recommendation for
q new building to cost $125.0o0 and an
addition Of $22,500 to its maintenance
funds.
At Olathe.
The state schoo, for the deaf at
Olathe is Flowed an increase Of 3d.
500, the school for the blind at Kan
sas City gets 500, while the state
school of medicine at Rosedale Is
granted $4,000 for a new building
and $4,000 more for maintenance.
The one school for which there is
no call for an increase is the school
of mines at Wier City. This biennial
appropriation carries $4,000 less for
the branch experiment stations of the
agricultural college than two years
ago.
Lack OF Coal.
Much of the Increased cost of main
tenance at state schools and other in
situations this year will be due to the
lack of coal from the state peritentiary
mines and the consequent need OF buy
ing on the open market, says Chairman
Jouett 6house Of the senate ways and
means committee.
