BLAKE MUST PAY TUITION
Supreme Court Decides Case of Par
sons Board of Education.

The state supreme court today de-
MED an application for an alternative
writ of mandamus to compel the Par
sons high school to accept Albert w.
Blake as a student without payment
of tuition. Blake brought suit in the
supreme court to compel the Parsons
board of education to accept him as
student under provisions of the
Barnes high school act.
In deciding the case today the su-
preme court held that the Barnes high
school act had not been adopted in
Labette county. 1t was further held
that in cities such as Parsons boards
of education could not be compelled
to accept nonresident students except
on payment of tuition. In consequence
young Blake must go to another
school or pay tuition in the Parsons
high school

PROFITS TO DEPENDENTS.
Warden Amrine Has New System for
Operation of Penitentiary.

The operating of the state peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth on a profit
earning basis was advocated by NJ T.
Amrine. warden. in an address before
the Mems Brotherhood of the First
Baptist church Wednesday night. He
urged that all profits be used for the
aid of the dependent families of
prisoners.
''While it would not be fair for the
people of Kansas to be taxed to sup
port the families of law breakers.
Kansas cannot make a. business OF
making money from the criminals
he said However, it is the innocent
families of imprisoned men, who get
the hard knocks as the result OF
crime. At present the prison is little
more than self-sustaining. A sum of
$4,000, which could be easily real
lied, should the prison be allowed to
become a profit earning concern,
would go a long way toward alleviat-
ing some of the hardships that the
families of prisoners have to endure"
