The establishment of free education
in ltmlon has given acoiiBiderablestiin
ulus to private schools. A numlx-r of
parents la-longing to the lower middle

ground that they object to take educa
tion free or that they think that free ed
ucation will bring an inferior class of
children into the schools. They have
sent their children to those " gc,hools for
young gentlemen " and for young ladies
which alxjund in all imrts of London,
and the private schoolmaster, who has
recently had a hard time of it, is now
reaping a considerable harvest.
University extension has made a good

souri ,'and Kansas universities, not to
'speak of other established institutions
of learning in the two States, will fur
nish an able corps of lecturers, and
everything appears to favor a higher ed
ucation in Kansas City. The system has
been tested elsewhere with t he most sat
isfactory results, anil that is a sufficient
warrant that it will not fail.
