Old School Texts Pass Into Discard at End of Session Superintendent Beveridge Will Ask $50,000 for Modern Books—2,000 Out-of-Date r*1 Geographies in Use. .The close of school next week will see the end of the "ancient” texts which have been in use in the Omaha public schools this year, according to Superintendent J. II. Beveridge and I)r. J. H. Walker, chairman of the school board committee on teach ers and course of study. The superintendent admits the sit uation merits correction, and an nounced Wednesday that necessary action will be begun immediately. $50,000 For Text Hooks. "I will ask the teachers and course of study committee for an appro priation of $60,000 for text books.” Superintendent Beveridge said. “The last appropriation was for $42,000. Report from Leon O. Smith, as Bistant superintendent, showed that geographies purchased during the last few years huve been insufficient to supply the demand. There have been 2,000 copies of geographies bearing print dates of 1911 and 1912 circulating through the schools, and 2,000 copies of 1913 and 1916 editions which show very little improvement over their predecessors. "Ancient History.” That Francis Joseph is emperor of Austria-Hungary, that St. Petersburg is the capital of Russia, that Omaha has a population of 124,096, and cer tain references to import and export statistics for 1908 are some of the statements Omaha school children have read In their text books. Geographies, education officers agree, should contain some mention of the SO.000 miles of roads in Ne braska, and of the 100,000 trucks and tractors on Nebraska farms. Many geographies refer to horses and wagons, poor roads, and other condi tions prevalent a quarter of a century ago. Old Resident Dies Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.

Speaker Lauds State Capitol Type Especially Adapted lo Nebraska Topography, Says Dr. H. B. Alexander. The architectural elements of the new state eapltol building are a com bination of the east and the west, admirably adapted to the topography of this state, Dr. H. B. Alexander of the University of Nebraska stated in an illustrated address Thursday noon to the Concord club in Hotel Kon tenelle. “The new capitol will be a structure which will be of more than national interest,” Dr. Alexander said. “Ne braska made a great step forward when it adopted the plans that are being used in the construction. There is nothing in the world of architecture that is comparable.” The speaker showed a series of stereoptican views, illustrative of architectural types of the Egyptians, the Greeks and the gothic style of the middle ages. “In Greece the architecture reflect ed the spirit of democracy," he said. "We find the temples with open col onnades—open to the people, open theaters and open porticoes. The Greeks discovered that the life of a community is the life of the people.” Dr. Alexander explained through illustrations and words how the gothic architecture reflected the ecclesiastical life of the people, the successive stories of the cathedrals, for Instance, indicating the then ex isting social system. He referred to the architecture of Santa Fe in New Mexico as peculiarly a type that was developed from the introduction of Spanish religious ideas with the Indian technique.
