The state awards the contract and then charges each road with all markers erected adjacent to its tracks. The largest marker being bought at the present time is the stop sign to be put where side roads enter main highways; This also, is in ac cordance with the terms cf a new statute. These are the first signs of this type to bo bought.

Fuller arrived home tonight after a three weeks' "loaf" in London and Paris in the care-free role of "Peter Bond," declaring that he "never felt better." He was accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Flora A. Fuller, and by Dr. Charles P. Sylvester, his person al physician, who were his compan ions on his holiday. The governor said he had longed for quiet following up on the hectic days of the Sacco-Vanzettji agita tion and other vital public issues and determined to travel incognito abroad and thus avoid the social de mands that were certain to be made upon him otherwise.

Rural educ ation in Nebraska is now dependent upon the highschool normal training program, in the opinion of G. V. Rosenlof, flirector cf secondary edu cation and teacher training in the state, who spoke before the county supcrintednant's meeting here today. "Doubtless, there are persons here who believe the time has come for the elimination of the normal train ing program ia Nebraska," Mr. Ros enlof declared. "I may pay that until the laet few months, I have been more of less committed to such an ideo at least to the extent of be lieving that the program could cease within five years. "At present, I am convinced that the high school normal training pro- gram is necessary for not less than j ten years in the major portion of the state," he asserted. "Rural education ! and the assurance of better trained rural teachers for our schools demand nothing less than this." Mr. Rosenlof solicited the co-op-1 eration of the county superintendent! in solving the problem of praticel teaching, observation and graded participation in the teacher train-! ing work. Nebraska has no set pro-j gram or policy in this regard, hej said, except the suggested minimum of two days of rural school obser vation and 24 twenty-minute ' per-1 iods of practice teaching from pre-j viously prepared lesson plans under j the supervision of a competent tea-' cher. ! "The state department of public; instruction desires to workout somei satisfactory scheme whereby every . senior normal training student mayj have from two to four or more weeks j of carefully supervised practice in a, rural situation," he declared, "in order that the student may be better.
