NEBRASKA SCHOOL MATTERS
County Superintendents Addressed by
Mr Fcwler
At the state teachers meeting In
Omaha State Superintendent Fowler
spoke to county superintendents in
part as follows
iNebraska occupies an unrivaled posi
tion in having the lowest per cent of
illiteracy of all the states in the union
Nowhere has the value of a common
Bchool education been more generally
and universally acknowledged than
here nor has the free secondary and
higher education in the state been al
together neglected
The constitution of Nebraska adopt
ed in 1875 declared that all moneys
arising from the sale or leasing of
sections No 16 to 36 in each township
in this state should be perpetual funds
for common school purposes of which
the annual interest or income only can
be appropriated andfche interest on
these school lands sold and leased to
gether with that or warrants county
bonds and school district bonds cer
tain fees and licenses and the state
school tax of l1 mills or less upon
the dollar of assessed valuation of all
taxable property in the state provides
a snm in excess of 700000 appor
tioned annually to all the common
school districts of the state This
amount will increase from year to
year rather than diminish Local
school districts may tax themselves
not to exceed 25 mills on the dollar
of assessed valuation All fines pen
alties and license moneys are appro
priated exclusively to the use and sup
port of the common schools in the re
spective subdivisions where they may
accrue
The constitution also states that the
legislature shall provide for the free
instruction in the common schools of
all persons between the ages of 5 and
21 years Free education including
free textbooks and supplies is fur
nished in all school districts in the
state School government organiza
tion and management in Nebraska is
amost purely local each one of the
C6G7 districts being responsible for
its own school Each district pro
vides a full course of instruction in
till of the eight grades or years of
work below the ordinary high school
and many of them furnish graduate
certificates upon the completion of
this work The course includes read
ing writing spelling arithmetic
grammar geography history physi
ology etc In some of the larger
cities of the state kindergartens have
been established
When a school district has a popu
lation of 150 or more children of school
age it may organize as a high school
district and furnish free high school
privileges to all its pupils who com
plete the eighth grades of work below
the high school
We have in Nebraska eighty five vil
lages maintaining a Hieh school
course of one year or a total of nine
grades of work there are 175 villages
with High school courses of two
years 101 villages or cities with High
school courses three years in leneth
and eighty four cities in the state
maintaining a full four years High
school course sometimes differentiated
commercial courses above the eighth
grades of common scnool work Above
these we have as a superstructure the
magnificent University of Nebraska
with its faculty of 200 and an attend
ance of more than 2500 The univers
ity has a heavy endowment from
lands donated to the state by the
United States and is supported by the
proceeds of investment of a perma
nent fund by other Incomes and by a
tax of 1 mill upon the dollar of as
sessed valuation of the state
During the last school year 1903
1904 there were enrolled in the
schools of Nebraska 280000 children
the state had 6767 school houses of
which thirty five were stone 339 brick
105 log 273 sod and the rest wood
or frame buildings The number of
sod school houses in the state in 1890
was nearly 800 but it has steadily de
creased since that time while the
number of brick buildings rapidly in
creases The value of school district
property in the state is estimated at
11000000 the total indebtedness of
all districts at 3285000 and the total
annual expenditures at 4900000 Ne
braska employs annually 9700 teach
ers Including 3250 in graded schools

THE NEW STATES
ADMISSION OF FOUR TERRITOR
IES NOT CERTAIN
SOWE DEMOCRATS ARE OPPOSED
it Is Likely That There Will Be Con
siderable Fillibustering Republi
cans Not Anxious asjthe Matter Can
Go Oyer to Next Session
WASHINGTON In all probability
there will not be two stars added to
the flag at this session of congress
While there are some democrats who
are disposed to allow the republicans
to legislate as they please on all ex
cept great fundamental questions
there are others who will not consent
to the admission of states doubled up
as proposed in the bill passed last ses
sion -by the house and now pending
In the senate Of course it is well
understood that it will be an easy
thing to defeat the statehood bill
Only a slight filibuster is necessary
or perhaps a notice to the republican
majority that the bill is unsatisfac
tory would be sufficient The repub
licans are not at all anxious They
are willing the present bill should
pass but if the democrats want to
defeat it they will not complain
Senator Du Bois of Idaho is a lead
er of the opposition to the bill in Its
present form He recalls that when
-he was struggling to have the terri
tory of Idaho admitted as a state
there was a great deal of opposition
to the anti Mormon test oath which
he insisted should be incorporated in
the constitution Du Bois took the
ground then that congress had no
right to bring a territory into the
union against the will of the people
of the territory He said then that
Idaho would prefer to remain out
rather than be deprived of the test
oath Now said Mr Du Bois the
people of Arizona with few excep
tions and a majority of the people
of New Mexico prefer to remain as
territories rather than to be admitted
as one state
I thinli their wishes should be re
spected What ought to be done now
Is to admit Oklahoma not coupled
Indian territory but according to the
present boundaries There would be
nothing favoring the democrats in
that for Oklahoma is as likely to be
republican as democratic and in fact
It is the one territory where the re
publicans are strongest But aside
from all political consideration the
rights of the people of the territories
should be respected
Speaking of the statehood bill -Senator
Beveridge chairman of the com
mittee on territories remarked the
other day that had Senator Quay liv
ed the measure would have been put
n his charge while being considered
In the senate Perhaps no one knew
whether Senator Quay would have ac
cepted the doubling up of the terri
tories Four years ago he fought for
nearly three months to secure separ
ate statehood for three territories
leaving out Indian territory When
the republicans doubled up the terri
tories in the last session with a view
of making two states of the four there
was no sign from the silent Pennsyl
vania senator as to whether that kind
of a proposition suited him or not He
was intensely interested when the
fight was on before He devoted
more time to senatorial work than he
iad ever given before in a winter
3ut after the bill was defeated and
when a new scheme was tried he nev
er seemed to show the same interest
No one knows what he would have
done if he had lived
ADAMS WANTS INVESTIGATION
Governor Elect of Colorado Files Pe
tition in Supreme Court
DENVER Attorneys Charles S
Thomas and Samuel W Helford filed
a petition in the supreme Court
Wednesday on behalf of Alva Adams
the democratic governor elect asking
that either the court or a commission
to be appointed by the court shall
open all of the 201 ballot boxes used
in Denver at the late election and
make a thorough examination of their
contents The court decided to hear
arguments on the petition later in the
day
I have no question about my elec
tion by substantially the majority rep
resented on the face of the returns
said Governor Adams I believe if
the frauds in outside counties could
ne unearthed my honest majority
would amount to 20000 But I want
no tainted seat It is of far greater
Importance that the extensive election
frauds should be unearthed and pun
ished tnan that I or any other particu
lar individual should be sworn in as
governor I dont know who com
mitted the alleged frauds in Denver
I know nearly thirty men are in jail
ostensibly for contempt of court but
really charged with election crimes
If they are of the character represent
ed I feel assured that there are men
at liberty far more deserving of jail
than those who are incarcerated
Has Not Resinned But Will
LONDON While numerous semi
official statements have been heard
that Ambassador Choate is about to
retire from diplomatic life it can be
stated that Mr Choate has not sent
his resignation nor any communica
tion on the subject to President
Roosevelt or the state department
nor has he received any inquiry either
from the president or Secretary Hay
concerning his future plans It can
be said however that it is Choates
intention to tender his resignation
soon after Inauguration
MAJORITY IS DIVIDED
Colorado Republicans Not Agreed
Upon Plan to Reseat Peabody
DENVER Very few members of
the legislature have yet arrived in the
city and whether the plans of William
C Evans and other republican lead
ers to reseat Governor James Pea
body will be advised by a majority of
the republican members Is still in
doubt The republicans can carry
any measure on which they are
agreed There are at least half a
dozen candidates for the speakership
Some republican members known as
followers of former United States
Senator Edward O Wolcott have de
cided that while they do not contemp
late a union with the democrats under
any consideration they will oppose
vigorously any plan for counting out
Adams The Wolcott republicans say
they will go into a party caucus and
will agree to abide by the decision of
the caucus up to a point where it con
flicts with their conscience They In
sist that they have always strictly ob
served party regularity but when a
course is commended that Is morally
wrong they will not follow it and they
will not consider their decision in
that regard as irregular The plan
to seat Governor Peabody some of
them declared is wrong and no cau
cus action will bring them to support
such action
The canvass of the votes for state
officers is made by the legislature and
is not subject to review in the courts
LEGISLATION FOR CANAL
Members of Congressional Committee
Consider Question
WASHINGTON Members of the
congressional committee which will
formulate the isthmian canal legisla
tion have been considering the various
questions relating to the regulation
of the canal zone A bill for the pur
pose passed the senate last session
but was rejected by the house and a
measure finally was agreed upon
placing the whole government of the
zone in the power of the president un
til the end of the present session of
congress Before the close of this
congress it will be necessary to renew
that power for a term of years or to
enact a new law Opinion differs as
to the best method of handling the
subject although it is believed that a
strong government will be necessary
in order to provide for the care and
health of the men engaged in canal
work It is expected that Representa
tive Mann 111 will introduce a bill
relating to canal work soon after con
gress reconvenes
