From Saturday's Dail The large audience that filled the gym of the high school building last I evening to witness the- exhibition of tne pnysicat- training department oi the city schools, enjoyed a real treat and one that certainly showed a fine progress in the year of instruction that the pupils have' had in the vari ous forms of 'physical exercise. The department ) taa been: under the direction of B. E. Woodward and his handling of. the boys and girls has resulted in . their receiving1 a beneficial training that has developed grace and skill and the physical bod ies of the boys and girls to a re markable degree. It was the first opportunity that the large majority of the people had of seeing the finished product of this department and there was no one who witnessed this showing that did not feel that it must certainly be of a great benefit to all of the scholars of the city school system in giving them exercises that would develop them fully in every sense of the word by giving them a good, live and ac tive body to sustain their mental faculties and to learn them through the exercises to be graceful and quick in action. Every department of the physical training course was shown both by the boys and girls and the excellent manner in which the various exer cises were carried out and was a treat and a revelation to the auditors. Basketball games for both boys and girls were played for a short in terval with an indoor baseball game by the boys as well as a volley ball game, showing the instruction in these healthy sports that the scholars receive. The relay races were also much enjoyed, a part of these being play ed with the hurdles that showed the speed and quickness of the boys and the fine exercise that they receive in these sports. The girls of the school also gave several drills that were excellent and in which the members of the various classes carried out their parts In a machine like percision that drew hearty applause from the audience. The dancing exercises that are a great aid to grace and ease of action were also very well given. The calisthenics, presented by several classes of both boys and girls were one of the big features of the extensive program and the skill in which the classes carried out these movements showed grace and ease of action that indicated the progress that the boys and girls have made in thi3 line of their physical train ing. The closing feature of the evening was the ladder pyramids formed by the boys of the high school and which was given with the skill of veterans and which the boys deserve a great deal of credit for presenting in the manner that they did. A speciality of the exhibition was the sailor's hornpipe given by Jean Caldwell and Maxine Cloidt and re flected the greatest of credit on these two clever little ladies. Those who witnessed the exhibi tion last evening felt well satisfied with the work that this department of the school has done and the pro gress that the young people have made In the past year under" the guidance of Mr. "Woodward.

C. E. Rural Electri fication a Very Live Subject Experiments Made Warrant Electric Men in Making Predictions of Early Solution of Problem The problem of rural electrification occupied the major portion of the time of the Nebraska Electric light association Friday morning. Dean Furgason, Prof. E. E. Brackett and Miss Greta Gray of the university. Railway Commissioner Haylor and others took part in the discussion. The report of the committee which has been making tests for the past year reported by W .J. McGeachin, chairman. He said that while the companies are willing to cooperate with farm electric districts that own their own distribution system, the sit uation does not warrant promoting such projects. Rates, he said, are tending to standard, which are from $3 to $8 a month fixed charge, with current costs ranging from 6 cents to 3 cents a kilowatt hour dependent upon amount used. It was agreed that before the farm er can get the city rate he must use a larger amount of current, and it was suggested by several that the use of labor-saving devices in the home c The Measure of Garment Satisfaction 1.

Mr. Taylor and Mr. Brackett urged that the companies get away from, the practice of making the farmer pay any part of the installation cost, sug gesting it would be better to secure the use of more devices as to make the revenue take care of interest and maintenance on extension lines. The presence of tenats on 4$ per cent of farms complicates the problem of se curing the adoption ofelectrificatiou. Dean Rurgason said that just now rural electrification is a subject to be observed and studies so as to as certain what new processes are nec essary, which always preceeds the in ventive period, when the problem is conquered.
