Uniform standards of scholarship and
efficiency is maintained, duplication is
discouraged, and the whole educational
family work for the best educational
interest of the state. The schools are
cooperating in many, ways. Recently
faculty members from the Agricultural
College and the University aided the
faculties of the Normal Schools in
farm and home short course where hun
dreds of farmers and their wives came
to the Normal Schools for instruction.
The Music Departments of all the
schools are banded together as never
before and are working with marvellous
success toward making Kansas a musi-
cal state.

years of having advisers of women in
the several institutions has been a sue
cess These advisers have been a great
help in advising and assisting the young
women and in leading and directing
the social activities of the students One
of the valuable features in the life Of
the students at the institutions has been
the establishment of social functions in
which all the students participate. They
are very successful and do much to make
the institutions more democratic. They
have broken down the lines between the
rich and the poor and have established
a feeling of fellowship among all classes
of students. The schools realize that

AS result, hundreds of young people
are able to work their way through
school, and this at substantial saving
to the state. Statistics show that sweep

5000 per square foot per year, while
better service is procured by employ

In the matter of cooperation rests the
greatest good that comes to the state.

along the line of moving pictures for
their schools.
In the matter of inventories, the Board
of Administration has evolved a plan
whereby the states property is better
preserved than ever before. The total
valuation of the states property in the
institutions of higher learning amounts
to more than 100000. Every article
purchased is now charged to the prop
erty account of some responsible per-
son who is at the head of department.
The high esteem in which the insti-
tutions of higher learning are held by
the youth of the state is indicated by

handling public affairs. The
town council has given way to the COM
mission form of government, and every
where a more strict accountability is
demanded of the public servant. The
idea of a single Board to handle the
educational affairs of the state is the
logical outcome of public demand for
more efficient public service.
Kansas, always quick of perception,
early saw the trend of public demand
and with such states as Iowa, Idaho,
Montana, West Virginia, Oklahoma,
South Dakota, and others, has placed
her educational institutions under one
Board. In Kansas the Board is
known as the Board of Administra-
ton. The Legislature of 1911 passed
the bill and the plan would have been in
stituted at that time but the bill was
vetoed The Legislature of 1918 passed
the present law and the Board was or
ganized and began actual business on
July LIST, 1913, with Ed. T.. Hackney, of
wellington, President, e. w. Hoch, of
Marion, and Mrs Cora G. Lewis, of
Kinsley, as members. These three per-
sons take the places of eighteen persons
on three boards-the Board of Regents
of the University at Lawrence composed
of six members, the Board of Regents
Of the Agricultural College at Manhat-
tan composed of six members, and the
Board of Regents of the Normal Schools
at Emporia, Pittsburg and Hays, COM
posed of six members, and in addition
assume the management of Deaf School
at Olathe and Blind School at Kansas
City.
The business offices of the Board of
Administration were temporarily estab-
lished at Manhattan where the business
of all the institutions is done by less
number of people than was required for
one institution under the many board
plan few years ago.
The economy and efficiency policy of
the Board has developed many items of
saving to the state. The Board Of Ad-
unites with other state
boards in the purchase of coal, grocer
les, paints, hardware, electric lamps, dry
goods, etc. In contracting for these ar
ticles in wholesale lots the state is saved
of dollars every year. The
establishment of one business office to Z
do all the purchasing for all institutions T
under control of the Board is one of the {
real constructive measures. When bust +
ness houses realize that purchases in f
arge quantities may be made for a 4
lumber of institutions, they are anxious +
o get the business and make the best
possible prices For illustration-the $
purchase of electric light bulbs by whole h
ale last year, saved the state $24S on $
hat one item alone. q
In the matter of janitor work, the
board of Administration has adopted the b

the unusual increase in

years. During that pc

University has increased
from 1872 In 1918 to 1902
in 1915; at the Agricul-
tural College from 1928 in
1918 to 3091 in 1915; at

ment in living conditions during the last
two years. 1t is to be regretted that
we have no dormitories to standardize
living conditions and reduce the cost OF
rooms; but the persons in charge of that
side Of the student life in the several
schools with the active cooperation of
the student organizations, have accom-
plished much. The systematic handling
of these matters during the last two
years has proved the value Of such work
to the students and to the state.
The experiment made with cafeterias
and dining halls at Pittsburg and Hays
during the last two years has demon.
strated their value. One was established
at Manhattan In September, and will be
established at the other institutions as
soon as room can be found for them.
These cafeterias become laboratories in
which the theoretical work given in the
domestic science department can be put
to the practical test. 1t is of value not
only in demonstrating for classes in
domestic science, but in reducing the
cost and giving better food to a large
number Of students. Each Of the schools
already have domestic science depart
ments. The scientific purchase and
preparation of food makes it possible
for these institutions to furnish good
food, we'll served at much lower price
than the ordinary boarding house can do
when buying at retail and cooking and
serving in an Indifferent, unbalanced and
unsatisfactory manner
At Hays practically the entire student
body take their meals at the Normal din
ing hall The major portion of the vege-
tables consumed is raised by the stu
dents in the Normal truck gardens. Prac-
tically the same condition prevails at
the Pittsburg Normal
The number of students who are go
ing to school in these institutions by
has increased from 900
in 1913 to 2571 in 1915, The increase
has been limited only by the ability of
the institutions to take care of the stu
dent who applied. The courses have
been carefully gone over by the heads of
he correspondence departments in the
yarious institutions and the work CO.
'rdinated. Implications have been elm
mated. The courses are now offered to
lelp those in every vocation in life. The
ampus of each of these institutions has
'een made as wide and as long as the
tate itself. People in every city and
amlet, and even on the most remote
arms, have been brought directly in
ouch with these institutions Every sec
lon Of the state is reached and uplifted

nd the work now largely meets their
eeds. Surprisingly large numbers of
students do work for

When was young took delight in
doing things shouldn't do; whooped
around the town at night, the leader
of rihald crew. broke into old Kick
shaw's shed, and kelptomaned his sit.
ting hen; and graybeards looked at
me and said, Hell end his journey
in the pen.'
l dyed old Farmer Jimpson's hogs;
they once were white, l made them
blue; l tied tin cans to many dogs,
and watched them raise a howdydo.
With boyish zeal did l aspire to do
things better left undone; | set old
Virgins beard afire, when he was
sleeping in the sun. placed a tack
upon the chair on which the teacher
used to sit, and laughed to see him
tear his hair. and paw around and
have fit. All DER the country wild
and wide, my fame was thick as it
could be, and graybeards looked at
me and sighed, He'll end upon the
gallows-tree!"
Then braced up and ceased to play
the trick that brought me fierce re.
nown; l studied hard both night and
day, l took my books and held them
down. l realized that life was short,
and if lad would put up grass, he'd
have to cease to be a sport, and let
the merry chances pass. My late COM
panions used to come, and cry, "Oh,
let us paint the grad! Without some
fun this life is bum, and full of prunes
and punk and sad"
l sternly shcoed the boys ajoof, ana
caid, This is my busy day; Pm stor-

led days, l studied nights; and soon
LIES prizes caEie along, and climbed
Up the decent heights. My name was
in the magazines, my picture in the
Sunday sheets; and l had coin to buy

of eats.
The graybeards marked me as
rose, those fine old men of sense and
wit, and they exclaimed, Gust look at

joy, his forward march that naught
