Conditions Favor Education-Hamlin
Conditions are exceedingly favorable for adult education in the United States, Dr. Herbert M. Hamlin, professor of agricultural education at the University of Illinois, told Kansas adult education leaders today.
Thirty persons attended the meeting sponsored by the Kansas Adult Education association and University Extension in co-operation with the Kansas State Teachers association. Other groups are attending similar conferences this week in Dodge City, Emporia, Hays, Manhattan, and Pittsburg.
He listed as other favorable factors the leadership of higher institutions of learning in sharing the responsibilities of adult education and the large grants given by private firms for the development of adult education.
"Pollls indicate that people want more education than they are getting at present," Dr. Hamlin said. "Already the present enrollment in adult education in this country is between 30 and 40 million," he said.

The bill was introduced at a meeting Tuesday evening by Frank Exter, engineering representative. He explained that many students feel that the rates are unjust and would like to know if they are necessary. The bill was passed without opposition.
Chester Lewis, 2nd year law, reported to the council that a committee studying the possibility of establishing quiz files for all students has met with both favor and opposition to the plan.
An amendment to the ASC bill on campus publications was passed. By this bill the council hopes to give all students a better chance to serve on publication staffs.
He said, "It will take some time to establish the files, as many instructors must be contacted. The deans of the Law school and the College are favorable to the plan, but many individual instructors are opposed."
The content of the amendment reads: "That the publications board be required to keep in the office of the dean of men a supply of application forms available to all students desiring appointments to the various campus publications staffs.
"That the publications board be required to keep an up-to-date list of the vacant positions posted on an appropriate bulletin board outside the office of the dean of men."
A report by the housing committee showed that the new commission on student housing is having trouble obtaining volunteers to act as inspectors. Anyone interested in this should contact Lawrence Kravitz.
