THE XI FFEREXCE.
Figures from the Auditor's office ihow
that the average price of school lands in
the State has been, so far, $11.53 per
acre ; and upon this the purchaser pays
ttu percent, interest The average price

only a little over $S. per acre,, and the
company only ask six per cqitt. interest cr;
ten years time. .

In our notice yesterday of the avenge
price which the State School Lauds have
sold at, we were made to say that it was
$11.53. This is wrong, and one dollar
too much, for the exact average is $10.
53 per acre as per report of Hon. John
Gillespie, State Auditor and Commis
sioner bf State Lands.
Again, as we are nuw reliably advised,
the exact cash price average of the B.
& M. R. R. lands is $S.20 per
acre, and their long credit or ten years
price is $10.20 per acre And
now, to make the comparison complete,
it is well to remind our readers that the
lowest price at which our State School j
Luds can be bought, ii seven dollars per
acre, as by the law of this Sta:e, and
the lowest rate of interest for time cr
credit is ten per cent
The lowest prices of tle B. & M. R.
R. lands are four, five and six dollars
per acre, and many thousand acres can
be bought at these prices, on ten years
credit at six per c-.-ut. inteiest. For
fuller particulars in regard to railroad
lauds we refer all interested to the Land
Commissioner of the B. it M. R. R. Co.
in Nebraska, who will cheerfully supp'y
circulars and maps gratuitou.-ly. And
by the way, we woull uigc our citizens
to obtain these circula s and maps for
distribution per mail amonj; their friends
and acquaintances cast ; or if any will
call at the land office of the company
and give a list of names with correct
post office address, packages of their ad
vertising documents will be sent with
postage prepaid to any number of whom
there is any hope of inducing by good
argument to come and settle in our mo-t
favored portion of Nebraska.

Wden the writer lint landed in Nebras

distance of nearly a mile, without inter
fering with a single improvement except
the old frame on the corner of Seveuth

the necessary steps to legalize it- Let
it be done at once, and done thoroughly,
so that people desiring to purchase will

Gentlemen:
I ask the privilege to present to you a
brief sta'cmcnt relative to your Public
It
is now nearly two years
since you elected me Principal oi your
Schools. During this time the pupils
have generally made as rapid advance
ment as could have been expected under
the circumstance. But they evidently
have not arrived at such proficiency as a
uiore perfect systems of gradation and
more suitable buildings would have at
tained for them. Owing to the want of
suitable buildings it is impossible to
establish that perfect sy-tem of gradation
which the number and diiTerent advance
ment of the scholars demand, yet I
think something may be done which
would tend to promote the efii
ciciicy of ' our schools, if pareuts
could be brought to realize
their obligation to their children and their
schools. It has been said that "The
niastei'makes the school." This is not
strictly true, for if Parents do not be
come interested in the progress of their
children, the labor of th teacher is of
ten rendered useless. The child which
attends school term after term, without
ever seeing his parents in the school
room, or even being examined by them
in his studies, isntuiost sure to become
indifferent to his own progress. But,
perhaps, the greatest evil in our schools,
is irregularity of attendance. Some day
we have an attendance but a few short of
the whole number; and probably the
next day, not more than half of our
scholars will be present. I feel that you
cannot too earnestly deprecate this evil.
The scholar who tu.y :i:;eiids school two
or three days in the week must necessa
rily miss recitations thai will seriously
affect his whole fa: are progress. So
that the lo.-s must perpetually cmbar
r:. s him until in socio way the contents
of tho-e lessons have be, n learned. But
the evil does not stop here ; not only is
the absent pupil embarrascd, but stoji
ping on the roud be detains the r main
der cf the class and tbo e.Ticiency of the
school is thereby seriously impeded.
Trusting that you may be enabled to
take such steps as will render your school
more efficient,
I am yours res pect full'

A statement is made in some of the

that is "destined to ell'tvt complete
revolution in the present system of build
ing and running railroads. His plan is
to lay four rails instead of two to a single
truck road ; tobn'Id the cars seventeen
feet wide, with double sets of wheels.
These he prop;i'-e to h.v.e proj;e!ls.J by
double engines of sixty tons, v bieh he
savs can d; aw trains containing a thou
an 1 passcnuers each. He claims that
both the ;,;(crii(.r and fu -i 1 1 1 cars
of
his construction will weitih five tons less
than any iwo similar cars of the same
iiiiike ; then tlcre will be no oscillating
motion to the trains while running, even
::t a speed of sixty mi'es an hour, and
turn these cars. By ibis system, be
