Nebraska
Colleges Draw
Many Students
High Standing of State Institutions
Reflected in the Many Outside
Students Enrolled.
Lincoln, Sept. 2. Nebraska univer
sities and colleges play a more im
portant part in the educational life
of the state than do the schools of
most other states, it is revealed in a
study of a recent pamphlet published
by the United States office of educa
tion entitled "Residence and Migra
tion of Colloge Students." The sur
very covered more than 1,000,000
students attending 1,210 institutions.
But two states in the union have a
higher percentage of their residents
tttending college than does Nebraska.
The report shows that in Nebraska
one out of every 72 persons is at
tending college. In Florida the ratio
is one to 291. The average for the
United States is one college student
for every 123 persons.
"It is interesting to note," reads
the report, "that the 15 states hav
ing the largest proportion of students
are all west of the Mississippi river."
. Of the 19,004 Nebraskans taking
full-time college work at the time of
the survey, S7.4 per cent thought
highly enough of the schools in this
state to attend home institutions. The
highest percentage of home attend
ance, 92.5 per cent, was in California.
The average for the entire country
was SO. 3 per cent and in Delaware it
was 27.4 per cent.
Nebraska colleges and universities
have such a high reputation in other
parts of the country that more stu
dents come into the state for their
college education than leave it for
that purpose.
The government report shows that
while 2,379 Nebraska students are at
tending school in other states, a total
of 4,168 came into the state for that
purpose.
The greater part of the visiting
students come from California, Colo
rado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Mis
souri, South Dakota and Wyoming,
while the 2,379 Nebraskans travel to
California, Colorado, Illinois,, Iowa,
Kansas, Missouri and New York.
State universities have the greatest
appeal to students who wish to at
tend college within their own state,
reveals this report. In Nebraska 87.9
per cent cf the students attending the
publically contrclled state university
come from within the state, while the
average for the United States is only
82.5 per cent. Within Nebraska pub
lically controlled teachers colleges and
normal schools 71.1 per cent of the
student body come from Nebraska,
while for the entire country the aver
age is 9.2 per cent. Institutions not
under public control fail to draw on
their home state to as great a per
centage as do the public type of
school.
University of Nebraska officials,
after studying the government report,
expressed themselves as very well
pleased with the showing that Ne
braska and state universities were
making, as well as approving the
public endorsement of colleges and
universities, a3 proven by the high
percentage of Nebraskans who are en
rolled in these institutions of higher
education.
COUNTY FAIR PATRONS
We have a new department at our
Cass county fair next week a de
partment of antiques, it is called, but
I prefer to call it a department of
old-fashioned things, and of relics
cf by-gone days. It will be found in
the basement of the Congregational
church. Hoping that you may have
some interesting exhibits for that
department.
MRS. THOMAS MURTEY.

where she has taught for the past

gress exposition at Chicago while

Old time friends here cf Mrs.

gret to learn that she is at the Bryan
Memorial hospital at Lincoln in very
critical condition and the end seems
but the matter of a short time. Mrs.

The customers at the Athletic park
Tuesday night had the opportunity
of enjoying what turned out to be
one of the most exciting games that
has been staged on that lot the
game between the Chevrolets, league
leaders and the Rovers, one of the
second division teams.
The Chevies had a real scare in
the rally of the Rovers in the sev
enth and owe their victory to the
circuit drive of Hubert Dew in their
last bats which scored Schutz and
Dew himself.
The game opened listless with the
Chevies taking a four run lead that
they maintained until the seventh
when the Rovers stepped out in front
for a few moments. Shepherd, pitch
ing for the Rovers gave a nice exhi
bition and also added a home run for
his team.
The crowd was decidedly in favor
of the boys from the camp and the
veterans of the Chevies had plenty of
razzing but played a good steady
game to win.
