Dean Blackmar Comments on the Report of the Prison Com-
Tells About Spiteful Doctor
mission
"Cheap labor, cheap coal, and cheap politics have bankrupted the state penitentiary and the time has arrived when that institution should be placed on a firm business basis." Thus Dean F. W. 'Blackmar of the Graduate School, and a member of the State Prison Commission, this week wrote in a letter to which, at present, exists at the state penal institution and which the Prison Commission has asked the governor and legislature to reform.
"Our committee investigated the conditions at the penitentiary sometime ago," continued Dean Blackmar, "and a report in which we suggested a number of radical reforms was drawn up and sent to the governor. I see by the paper that he has acted upon some of these information is indeed gratifying to me, inasmuch as I feel that no reform is more needed in the entire state than that of cleaning up the penitentiary and modernizing the administration of the institution. To be sure this is a mammoth undertaking, and no one realizes the magnitude of the work and better than the investigating committee. The report will require, exclusive of labor which will be furnished by prisoners, an expenditure of $300,000; and a period of from five to six years will be required to complete the work."
Professor Blackman said that the Prison Commission had nothing to do with the administration of the penitentiary and therefore made no mention of that issue in its report. He also changed his administration, said Dean Blackmar, "by recommending the construction of a series of cottages and a ward for honor men. By allowing the prisoners to live in these
somewhat better cells and cottages, as a reward for good behavior, a better system of discipline will come into vogue. Also by classifying prisoners properly they can be treated accordingly. Mental and physical needs and seen from the penitentiary in a better condition than when they entered."
K. U. GETS ONE SIXTEENTH OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
Careful Study of Freshmen Enrolled Since 1908 Reveal Some Interesting Facts
Of all the seniors who graduate from Kansas high schools approximately one sixteenth reach the University of Kansas.
A study of the time at which high school graduates enroll as freshmen in the University reveals several trends. The college enrolls with September 1908 and continuing up to the present time was carefully studied in order to learn in what year those students enrolled as freshmen from high school in the spring of 1908.
The results follow:
1908—1st semester 255; 2nd sem. 3.
1909—1st semester 103; 2nd sem. 1.
1910—1st semester 29; 2nd sem. 2.
1911—1st semester 12; 2nd sem. 1.
1913—1st semester 16;
1913—1st semester 0;
1914—1st semester 1;
In the school year of 1907-1908 there were enrolled in the senior classes of Kansas high schools a total of 2555 students. It is not probable that all this number graduated, and about one-sixteenth of them entered the University for up to date only 423 of that number have enrolled.
This study also goes to prove there is less than half the probability of a student entering college one year after he has graduated from high school; one ninth the probability of his entering two years after his grad-

This report, made only upon the year 1908, but it is probable that a similar study of other years would give approximately the same results.
This study does not include those students who may have graduated from high school in 1908 and have done some college work before entering the University. Neither does it include those who have graduated from college outside of Kansas in that same year and have entered as freshmen here.
