KANSAS CITY WILL TRY NEW PLAN FOR SCHOOLS
Would Place Commissioner in Charge of Educational Institutions—Olin Favorable
Control of public schools by a city commissioner is a plan which may be tried in Kansas City, Kansas. The Mercantile Club of the city is now planning to get an amendment to the law regulating cities of the first class operating under the commission form of government which will permit a trial of educational supervision by a commissioner.
When the law relating cities of the second class was drawn up and presented to the legislature it contained a provision for a commissioner of education. The educators of the country had been exempted such excellent arguments against it that it was struck out before the law was passed.
Dean Arvin Olin, of the School of Education, says in regard to the matter: "The teaching of children and adolescence in the high schools is too highly specialized work to be carried on with the general run of civil affairs." Dean Olin considers that the educational department of a city should be in the hands of experts as the board of health is. He does not believe it will allow that the legislators will pass any such amendments as most of the legislators are against it on account of the arguments against it which were advanced by educators when the matter was considered before.
Mr. C, H. Talbot, head of the municipal reference bureau, offers no opinion as to the advisability of the plan but thinks that a city desiring to try the new plan should be allowed to do so.
A plan somewhat similar to the plan in question has been used with some success in European cities. In other countries, the civic council has charge of the schools
of the city but all matters of importance are brought before the council as a whole.
SHEA STAYS ON JOB AND FIXES UP THE BUILDINGS
Holidays may come and holidays may go, but John M. Shea is on the job eternally. Mr. Shea, you remember, is the superintendent of grounds at the university, going to ask the legislature for a coasting course on the golf links. "Jawn" did not take a vacation at Christmas time, but remained at the University, directing the work on a new campus that were made during the holidays.
Over in Fraser Hall, a new stairway, of design similar to the old one, was constructed between the fourth and 5th floor room. A second wicker decorated for the use of the class in advertising. Room 210 was repainted and a kitchen, fully equipped with a gas range and all necessary shelves, tables and cupboards, was taken into the bathroom of the home economics department.
A new glass case was specially constructed and placed in the Museum for the exclusive habitation of General Custer's horse, lone survivor of the Custer massacre. The Library was offered for the second time this year. Room 104 Hull was refinished and decorated, and a new heating apparatus installed on the first floor of the Chemistry Building.
