Employment Bureau Issuee Quarterly Report of Amount of Work Secured
A report covering the operations of the University Employment Bureau from September 1st to December 1st has just been issued by Roy Stockwell, manager of the bureen. During this period 64 men have been placed in permanent positions while 54 others have been supplied with temporary employment. Few three of the men registered with the bureau have secured employment independent of the bureau and there are still 37 men who have filed applications but whom the bureau, for various reasons, has been unable to assist as yet. The total number of applicants thus far this year is 198.
To December 1st the number of permanent positions secured for students by the bureau was 85; oppor-tions for temporary employment, 302.
The estimated value of the work secured from September 1st to December 1st (the value of permanent positions being estimated on the basis of the entire school year) is $15,000. Of all work secured by students through the bureau for the year 1911-12 was estimated at $3,550.00.
The annual cost of operating the Employment Bureau is placed at $75,000. The university pays $75,000, the remainder $75 being said by the Y. M. C. A.

It would deliver the University from an especially heavy handicap of having only $7200 in permanent income (Interest in its land fund),—a handicap from which the other two state educational institutions suffer, but in a much less degree.
It would put the maintenance of the University, the Agricultural College and the State Normal Schools on a permanent basis, removing them from the danger of having their revenues curtailed by caprice or financial depression, and enabling the governing boards to pursue a definite business-like policy.
Gardner Girls Victoresses
It would remove all temptation from educational institutions to save their interests by resorting to political methods. No state institution would ever be drawn into politics.
The Mill Tax as a Basis for a Permanent Income for All of the State Educational Institutions
It would put Kansas among the states which have already given their educational institutions the advantage of permanent incomes by fixed tax: Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, California, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, and others.

It would save the time of administrative heads and members of the faculty who are compelled by their duty to the interests intrusted to them by the state to go to Topeka and exert their efforts to have these interests understood by the legislature, in order to prevent the doing of some serious injury to some branch of the educational or state service work through oversight or lack of knowledge.

A good thing for the University. A good thing for the other institutions. A good thing for the state and the taxpayers. A relief to the legislature.
It would make it possible to take better care of the details of the University administration. Under the present system the University budget for the expenditures in June, 1915, must be compiled in September 1912—almost three years ahead. With a permanent income each year would be provided for as occasion required and the administration would know definitely what to count on.
It would relieve administrative heads from the humiliation of being criticised for attending committee sessions at the legislature and doing the necessary legislative work to which their devotions and duty to their institutions obligates them.
All Tax Would Benefit University. It would ensure a more healthy growth of the University, because normal growth in an educational institution is possible only when plans providing for such growth can be made, extending over a number of years.
It would make it less easy for other universities to take some of the best teachers from Kansas, as they have been doing, because of the greater permanence of these universities in the matter of income, and the greater certainty with which their teachers can depend on the continuance of their work.
It would insure the gradual and proportionate increase of the revenues for education as the value of the property in the state increases, providing automatically the larger means of meeting growing needs.
It would emphasize the insignificance of the cost of education to each individual taxpayer. If he pays taxes on a valuation of $10,000 the mill tax would cost him $10. Would any man question that the presence in the state of three educational institutions, doing an immense amount of state service work, adds not one but many to the value of each thousand dollars worth .f property that he possesses?
It Would be a Relief to Legislature
It would save the time of legislators who are now compelled to study the intricacies of appropriation bills while occupied with scores of other legislative matters. To understand thoroughly the details of the University appropriation bill alone would require all the time that the ordinary legislator can devote to the duties of the legislative session.
It would relieve the legislator from the responsibility of the present large total of appropriations, removing from his shoulders the burden if the entire educational budget of the state were given him from the well-meant but somewhat zealous importance of the advocates of the various institutions.
It Would Benefit The State.
It would result in a more economic administration of the educational institutions because system based on a stable and calculable income always means economy.
It would be to the advantage of the taxpayers because it would insure their getting the greatest possible efficiency out of the state schools, the greatest possible value for students with fixed and permanent income can an educational institution do its best work.
By eliminating competition in the procuring of appropriations it would make toward a better co-operation among the various schools, and a consequent increase of efficiency and value to the state.
How The Mill Tax May be Secured
.
The income of the University and other institutions can be made permanent only by constitutional amendment.
The matter must first be presented to the legislature in order that it may be by them submitted to a vote of the people at the following general election, which appear on the ballot as if proposed amendment to the state constitution.
The first step, then, is to prevail on the legislature to give the people a chance to vote on this measure of such vital importance to the educational interests of the state.
