SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
IN MEDINA COUNTY
lBy Supt. Uleryl

The Medina county schools this
year are composed of twenty separ-
ate systems supporting fifteen CEN
tralized and consolidated, three two
room and twenty-one one-room
schools. These organizations in
clude eleven first grade and two sec
ond grade high schools. The total
enrolment of pupils in the county is
1862. Of this number approximately
600 are found in the high schools.
Because of their population Medina
Ianl Wadsworth are both outside the
county unit and not included in this
report.
I From the standpoint Of perfection
approximately 33 1870 of the total
school enrolment should be found in
the high schools. According to re-
ports at the present time only ITO
Of Medina county'st total school en-
rollment is in the high schools. This
is sufficiently high, however, to give
the county place of leadership in
high school attendance. But it is
evident that there is a big possibility
for much increased high school at-
tendance and it is hoped every, school
official will preach the need and ad-
vantage Of completing the high school
course. I'm
The new revenue law is framed SO
that schools with large high school
enrollments will receive greater
portion of the state and county fund
than any other schools. This law
is also framed 50 that schools with
good attendance receive more in pro-
portion than schools with poor at
tendance. So regular attendance is
another matter of Importance to the
boards of education of the county.
The following is a list of the county
schools including attendance:

IS WARNER
Rooney in Heavy Attack on
Attorney General.
Lays Persecution and Waste at
HOpkins's Door.

The scrap between Richard ]. Hop
kins, attorney general. and Ed
Rooney Topeka attorney, for nomina-
ton at the primaries promises to end
in a real fight with Jess Willard, for
mer worlds champion heavyweight
pugilistic champion. lined up against
the present attorney general.
Mails out of Topeka have been
crowded in the last week with
Rooney for attorney general" pam
phlets which attack the record of
Hopkins as extravagant and futile.
The pamphlet describes the prosecu-
ton of Jess Willard for profiteerlng
in selling wood as persecution"
pointing out that willard sold the
wood to Topeka below the quoted
market price and it is charged that
Hopkins prosecuted Willard merely
for advertising purposes.
Other activities of the attorney gem
erai which the Rooney hackers say
ended in nothing but expense to the
his delving into the price of funerals
and putting the undertakers of the
state under suspicion" like policies
pursued in probing into the business
of the shoe dealers. the retail groceFs.
the cement trust" the brick trust
and his failure to put P. ]. Foley,
mayor of Parsons, out of office.
The alleged extrava gahce of Hop
kins in depletingShis contingent fund
in one year in office and being forced
to ''go, begging" to he last legisla-
ture for further appropriations to run
his office. is another source of crftf-
cism from the Rooney camp.
Hopkins's supporters at first did not
take the Roonoy onslaught seriously.
But in the last two days when big
Rooney posters appeared on sign
boards in Topeka and other manifes-
tations of influence and money behind
the Rooney campaign became appar-
ent, there was Tightening of lips and
look of concern noted on certain
faces.
First. the Hopkins supporters want
to know where the money IS coming
from which, they say. must be in use
to conduct such an intensive and ex-
tensive campaign.
The Hopkins defense of extrava-
gance and lack of results in certain in
vestigations and prosecutions prom
ises to be statement that the present
flexible profiteering laws which the
special session refused to tighten
were responsible and not Hopkins. In
fact. they say, Hopkins did everything
he could and the publicity which he
gave the alleged prOfiteering practices
in vogue in Kansas did much in arous-
ing the present public indignation over
the state of affairs existing.
