"Y" work and a devout believer in
this movement for the upbuilding of
the young men of the nation, presid

A rousing song service occupied
the first half hour of the service and
on the platform a large chorus of
men were present to add to the in
terest of the meeting with their vo
cal selections and in these the audi
ence joined with a will and gave
some very inspiring musical selec

was through the church and in this A , .., . ,
the Y. M. C. A. had acted as thei
right arm of the church in the build
ing up of the highest type of men.
The effective work of groups of men j
over the nation in securing the best

The policy of the Y. M. C

Mr. Roberts took up for a short time
his exoeriences in the world war
when as one of the first workers of
his organization he had been in
touch with the American troops at
the frcnt from June to October, 1918
and he paid a great tribute to the
cleanness both physically and mor
ally of the American soldier that
dwarfed anything that the world
had seeo before when a great army
had been gathered together that
were up to the highest standard that
the Christian nations could demand
of their manhood.

The hotise in committee of the

renewal of- the suspended argument
on what is a proper tuition fee for
non-resident high school pupils to
pay. After debating H. R. 29 until
after the scheduled hour of commit
tee meetings, the committee reported
progress.
The bill by Messrs. Kem-
:er nnd Kendall Drooo?es to reduce'
the fee from S3 to S2. The standing
committee offered an amendment
making the fee ?100 flat for the
fchool year. Attention was called to
the fact that such an amount is not
divisible by the number of weeks in :
the school year. j
When the subject was brought out j
on the floor of the house. Representa-j
tive Yochum of Otoe moved that the!

said that the issue had been thor

that it had been proven that it is
impracticablye to cut the fee. Repre-
sentative Davis of Cass said that
tnere is no justice in a proposition
which does not lower taxes but mere
ly shifts the burden from the rural
districts to the high school districts.
Mr. Kendall made a strong plea for
the bill. He said that the rate origi
nally was 75 cents a week and that it
has twice been doubled.

The house standing committee on
miscellaneous subjects voted to send

the ten introducers. It is provided
that the proposition shall be sub
