In order to prevent the wholesale

School Administration Objects
to Waters and Butcher on
Textbook Commission.
TOO BUSY At THE COLLEGES
Chairman Hackney Says School
Heads Have Work Enough-Want
School Laws Revised.

The state board Of administration In
charge of all the state schools asked
Gov Capper recently to send spe-
ci Il message to the legislature that
would obtain the removal of the presi.
dent of the agricultural college and
the president of the normal school
from the state textbook commission.
Too much work at the colleges is CIV
en- as the reason for the action.
Both schools are so big and there
is so much work that only the presi-
dent can do that we feel that it is an
injustice to the schools and the COM
mission to have President Waters and
President Butcher on the commits
sion," said E. T. Hackney, chairman of
the board. 1--WE could furnish men,
ber of the faculty from each school
who could devote the entire time to
the work of the textbook commission.
The state is already printing three
school texts and in the next year or
two will print all the common school
texts used in Kansas schools. The
work of preparing the texts must be
carefully done and the presidents OF
the two schools must neglect the
schools to do the textbook work"
The Kansas Educational Council
has adopted resolutions calling upon
the legislature to take the Kansas
schools out of politics, change the
method of high school supervision In
Kansas and authorize better school
commission to revise the school laws
of the state.

POSSE CATCHES 8 BANDITS
Wichita officers Make Capture After
Battle With Gang That Raided
Andale Bank.

Robbers wrecked the Andale State
bank, twenty-four miles northwest OF
Wichita, and being routed in pitch
ed battle with citizens, escaped to
Wichita, where three were captured
after another pitched battle in the
outskirts of the city. Two of those
captured were slightly wounded.
Two are known to have escaped.
The attempt to blow the Andale
bank was blocked when Miss Clara
Grassl, "a years old, telephone girl
at Andale, heard the men trying to
break into the office to destroy the
switchboard. She opened fire with a
revolver and called the marshal, who
rang the fire alarm, calling out the en-
tire populace.
Two robbers held the armed citizens
at bay while three others blew the
vault door and set off the charge in
the safe. The safe withstood the
shock and the robbers fled in an auto
mobile stolen from Wichita the night
before. There was more than $4,000
in cash In the safe.
The automobile carrying the bandits
went dead" in the highway, eight
miles northwest of Wichita, and the
occupants stole two horses from a
farmer and continued toward Wichita.
Sheriff Frank Sarver and Jack Hay,
assistant chief of police, organized a
posse and hurried to the west city lin
its of Wichita. The bandits opened
fire on the officers and in the battle
which followed more than 200 shots
were fired.
