Scottsbluff Opposes Change in School Laws Scottsbluff, Neb., Feb. 10.—(Special.) —That the house bills, eliminating domestic science and manual training from high school courses of study and lowering the mill levy limit from 20 to 12, take away from school dis tricts the right to decide what educa tlon is best for the children within the district and operate unfairly on different communities was the declar ation of the Scottsbluff Rotary club in a letter to Speaker A. N. Mathers. The club had previously telegraphed to him and to Representative Bar bnur of this district, who introduced the measures. It* opposition to them. Tt would he especially hard for Scottsbluff to suffer the mill levy re daction, because this city has a high er percentage of its imputation en rolled in the public schools than any other In the state, the letter states. Thirty percent of the total popu population of Scottsbluff attend the public school*. In the grades the average number of pupils per teacher is 36. With reducing valuations on real estate and a falling off of per sonal property valuations, the club points out. it would bs almost lmpos Hible for Kcottsblurt to maintain effi cient schools.
