The state board of equalization
through its secretary, O. K. Berneck
er, Is arrangoing for a series of
meetings to be held throughout the
state at which assessment mutters
are to be considered. The state has
been divided Into eight districts, and
the county assessors In the various
districts will meet at one of the fol
lowing points: Lincoln, Fremont,
Norfolk, Grand Island, Hastings, Mc
Cook, North Platte or Alliance. The
meetings will be held the latter part
of the present month, or in Novem
ber. The real estate of the state will
be assessed again in 1916, and its as
sessment will be the principal subject
to be considered. Secretary Berneck
er has prepared blanks upoa which
the assessors of the various counties
will be requested to report the sales
value of farm lands during a given
period, and these reports will be us
ed In adjusting assessments next
year. It is the contention of the
various railroads operating in Nebr
ahka that farm lands are assessed
too low in proportion to other prop
erty, and they have already compiled
a list of land sales In counties
throunh which they operate. With
out the compilation now under way
by Mr. Hernecker the bonrd would
have to accept for consideration the
ligures offered by the railroads, but
It prefers to have its own figures
compiled by the persons elected for
that purpose. The board of equaliz

Peru had one of the best exhibits
at the State Fair this year that it
has ever had. The exhibit was ar
ranged by members of the faculty,
with Prof. F. C. Smith, head of the
Manual Training department, as
chairman. Peru won first prize In
general appearance among education
al exhibits, and also won first prize
for the best exhibit of drawings. -
The chapel period on Wednesday,
September 29, was occupied by mem
bers of the Budget committee, who
explained the budget system which
was introduced into the school two
years ago. This system makes It
possible for any student to procure,
for three dollars, a ticket which ad
mits to practically all school func
tions which require paid admission.
The following events are Included In
the budget this year: four football
games, five lecture course numbers,
seven basket ball games, one Inter
collegiate debate, one glee club en
tertainment, one band concert, one
Dramatic Club play, four baseball
games, and one track meet. If paid
in single admissions, the cost would
amount to ten dollars. The holder
of a budget ticket ia also entitled to
a subscription to the school paper.
This system has proved very popular
financially.
The school paper will be edited
weekly this year instead of monthly
as heretofore. It will be known aa
the Peru Weekly Normalite. At a
meeting of the Normalite board, Sat
urday morning, the following editor
ial staff was elected: Editor, L. F.
Chard, of Iirock; business manager,
A. Ray Scott, of Palisade; class re
porter, Minnie Applegate, of Peru;
literary and debating, O. W. Osnes,
of Lutke, S. I).; religious, Margaret
Mitchell, of Elm Creek; music. Miss
Abba Uowen; athletics, A. A. Wolfe,
of Indianola; clubs, Marjorle Dod-
well, of Beatrice.
Miss Elva Kulon, librarian, attend
ed the librarians' convention which
was in session at Lincoln during the
past week.
The first football game of the sea
son was played Friday on the home
field, at whic.li time Peru met defeat
at the hands of Wesleyan University,
one of the strongest football aggre
gations lu the state. The final score
was 2ti to 0, and would indicate a de
cisive victory for Wesleyan. Howev
er, the result was not altogether dis
couraging to Peru In view of the fact
that the Wesleyan team are the pres
ent champions of the stale.
The following otlicers' were elected
for the Senior class at a recent meet
ing: President, Hoy Hull; vice presi
dent, Blanche Jimersen; secretary,
Mary llibler; treasurer, Harry Am
ende; sergeant-at-arniK, Merritt Chaf
fee. Louis F. Chard was also elect- .
ed business manager of the Peruvian '
at this meeting. j
The Peru Aluninl Association is!
planning for the annual banquet for'
former students of Peru. This event '
will occur on the evening of Thurs- j
day, November 4, at Omaha.
It is hoped that September t will
be a red letter day in the history of
Peru Normal. On this date Miss Ar
ta Draper, class of '13, opened the
first rural demonstration school af
filiated with a Nebraska' normal
school. There are thirty-nine pupils
enrolled in the school and six grades
represented. The work has opened
very auspiciously, and Dean House
and Mrs. Crawford, who are super
vising the work, trust that the school
may be ready for observation purpos- '
es, and even for practice teaching, by
the second semester. The children
are enthusiastic and apparently
pleased with the new arrangement.
The movement Is new and the way
unplotted, but the cryiug need for
such a school makes it Imperative
that the problem be worked out.
The Zoellner Quartet, which is rec
ognized as one of the great string
quartets of the world, entertained a
large and appreciative audience;
Tuesday evening in the opening uuui- i
ber of the Lecture Course. The com
mittee ia to be commended for bring
ing to us the opportunity to hear this
rare concert.
Receptions were given at the Meth
odist and the Christian churches,
Saturday evening, October 2. and at
the Baptist church, October 17. In
vitations were extended to all stud
ents to attend the church of their
preference, and those who responded
to the invitation report a very enjoy
able evening. The young people ap
preciate the effort of the churches to
keep lu touch with all students.
1'rof. M. C. Lf tier, who has a year's
leave of absence from the Normal, is
taking work at the University of Ne
braska. His friends are delighted to
hear that be has been given a schol
arship with Dr. Luckey.
At a recent meeting of the Junior
class the following officers were elect
ed: President, Sidney Johnson; vice
president, Amelia Chard; secretary,
Mary Boyd; treasurer, Charles
Spacht; sergeant-at-arms, Elmer
Wilson; chorister, Louis Laufman;
pianist, Ruth Redferu.
Fifteen students are registered In
the graduate class. These persons

tion degree within from one to two
years.

The Gost of Progress
Constantly the Bell Telephone System spends
large sums of money in scientific, experimental
and research work, pursuant to the policy of al
ways providing the best.
In the working out of complex scientific and
engineering problems alone, the Bell System has
a staff of more than 500 skilled engineers, the
graduates of seventy American and foreign universities.
Hew Telephone inventions
Hundreds of improvements in switchboards,
cables, .:::! lza distance lines have been made
the last few years to better the service, and all has
been done so quietly and without disturbance to
telephone users, that the public has hardly real
ized they were going on.
Since work began on the Panama Canal, the
Bell Telephone System has spent twice as much
money on extensions and improvements as it cost
the government to buy the right-of-way and build
the canal.
