MORE MONEY FOR STATE
Receipts For Fiscal Year Sho'
Marked Increase

Total receipts for support Of Kan
sas government in the fiscal yeai
ending June 80, 1921, were $1O,-
876,O27.2S, N. A. Turner, state audi
tor announced today. This Is an
increase of approximately $1,7OO,-
600 over 1920.
Contrary to the opinion Of the
average citizen who believes he Is
taxed for all the money expended by
the state, the revenue derived from
direct taxation is but slightly more
than half the income Of the state.
Direct state taxes collected in the
year were $5.43O.1SS.07.
Many of the larger departments,
it Is pointed out. are supported en-
tirely by fees which are collected for
services rendered. This Is true OF
the bank commissioner, oil inspec-
ton, grain inspection, fire marshal,
Board of Review, hotel commission
er. fish and game warden, and pro-
fessional boards such as Medical
Registration and Examination, Os-
teopathic Examination and Registra-
tion, Chiropractic Examination. Ex-
animation of Trained Nurses. Dental
Examination. Examination in Op-
tometry, Pharmacy, Embalming,

DON'T THINK OF THE SCHOOLS
Everybody Who Knows Something
Wants IL Introduced In Course

Wauus IL IHtrO0uCe0 In NOufsc
what we need In the schools Is
essentials. II we gave time to
everything that came along we
wouldn't teach anything"
This was the statement of Miss
Mary II. WOolverton, county super
intendent, who declared that on an
average Of once, week some one
comes to her Office with request
that he may introduce into the
schools certain books or papers or u
course in Americanism or banking
or what not. Everybody wants u
little, say Is minutes Of the school
time, In which to teach his particu-
lar hobby or profession.
"SOme Of the things are good"
MISS Woolverton admitted, "but
even though all Of them were. 1t
would be impossible to put the con-
gl0meration into a school curriculum
and give the students the founda-
tiOn necessary no matter In what
branch of work they may want to
specialize.
mo business man would allow
solicitors, agents and specialists,
each to take Is minutes time talk
ing to each one of his workers each
day. BY the time they all had said
their say there would be no time left
for the business for which the work
ers were employed. The same thing
applies to the schools. The courses
are arranged so as to develop In a
student the largest grasp attainable
of subjects which serve as a founda-
tiOn for any work they may choose.
The school course Is their business
for the time being and a smattering |
Of many things cannot be allowed
to take the place Of foundation In
a few things on which they may
build through promptings Of neces-
sity and experience.
"The public or parts of 1t which
would urge this or that as "side
line" in the schools is well inten-
toned and would frequently give
valuable time to help carry on the
advocated. But the de-
mands are too many and frequent
md there are not hours enough In
he day to teach all3the things which
,ne organization or another would
,ush into the schools"

The proportion of Kansas

The proportion Of Kansas farms
operated by tenants is higher than
the average for the entire United
States. In 1910 tenant farms num-
bered 2,354,676 or 81 per cent Of all
farms. In 1920 tenant farms num-
bered 2,454,746 or 3S.1 per cent.
Kansas, however, shows a lower
per cent Of farm tenants than Iowa
(41.7), Nebraska (41.O or Illinois
(42.7.) Tenantry increased in each
of these states the last decade in
about the same ratio that 1t did In
Kansas. In Missouri, for some un-
explained reason, tenantry dropped
from 29.9 per cent in 1910 to 28.S per
cent last year.
