Every North American animal excepting the musk ox is to be found in this Museum, in surroundings similar to its native habitat."

That part of the report which deals with the subject follows: "The Board is doing its best to care for all the students we work with in education. It has practically displaced all the janitors and other workmen and substituted six or seven boys for each janitor and divided his wages among them. We thus obtain higher class and better service and assist several hundred boys through school. When we get all the dining halls and cafeterias into operation, a table still exists to help them. We also maintain in all the schools bureauz to assist boys and girls in finding part-time positions. Statistics show that more than half the students are making a large part of their way through school." No Coat Hooks Yet Send the Daily Kansan home.
