Schools Face Serious Time This Fall Decreased Budgets in Practically All Schools and Increased Enroll . ment Is the Order. Nebraska school offiicals have be fore them this fall the enormous task of providing adequate educational opportunities for more pupils, with fewer teachers and smaller budgets than ever before in the history of the state. With continued scarcity of jobs and efforts at minimizing or abolishing child labor, high school enrollments this year are likely to approximate the increase of five per cent represented in the enrollment of 73.255 pupils a year ago this in the face of the fact that there has been eliminated, on the average, one teacher in each of the approximately 700 high schools in the state. Present indications show that en rollment of free high school tuition students will again increase. A year ago the enrollment of 22,371 tuition pupils represented an increase of about five per cent over that of the preceding year. School districts have the problm this fall of giving train ing of undiminished quality to tuition pupils at a tuition rate reduced twenty-five per cent by action of the leg islature this spring. The new rate is $81 a year as compared with the old figure, $108. "Reduced valuations and reduced tax levies, coupled with increasing costs of supplies and equipment, and increasing costs of living forecast a critical year for schools," Secretary C. A. Bowers, State Teachers Asso ciation, indicates. Added Responsibilities for the Schools Nebraska schools, along with schools throughout the country, are faced this fall with addition respon sibilities, despite reduced budgets, as a result of the abolition of child labor by provision of several cdoes devised under the NRA program. Nearly 16, 300 children between 10 and 18 years of age, were gainfully employ ed in the state, acocrding to the 1930 census. Some 3,200 children aged 10 to 15 years inclusive, were en gaged in gainful occupations in Ne braska, a 1933 report of the National Child Labor Committee states. SHOWER FOR. BRIDE Saturday afternoon, August 26th, a miscellaneous shower was given for Mrs. William Brandt, Jr., for merly Miss Florence Meisinger, at the home of Miss Marie Lutz, by the Murray Presbyterian Sunday school class of which Mrs. Brandt is a mem ber.
