f . 1 i i , I SCHOOL AND COLLECE WORK Spring Meeting of Southeastern Ne brisk Teachers' Association. ILLITERACY IN UNITED STATES Aetlvltlre ef Yarloaa t4arlml laetltatlems la nildlt Wtt Fdaratlemat Motra and Personals. - The Bouthesslern Nebraska Educational association will hold a three days' session In Beatrice beginning April 1. An xtenslve and varied J-ogram has been -arranged. Jn which are featured conteat by the Inter-high School Debating aaaociatlon; two addreaaea by Alfrad Montgomery on "Educational Advantsgrs of Art Study" and "Dllletantlsm In Art. with Chalk Talk n the Power of Simplicity." a a lectute n "Some Present Day Ideals In Educa tion." by Dr. Nathaniel Butler of Chicago University. "The program," says the Nemaha County Teacher, "contains much of sn'eclsl Inlereat to you. May we not count on you meeting lha other 999 teachers there? Progressive superintendents are making decided ef fort to attend and have tho faculty do like wise. Superintendent Fulk of Hebron sounds the slogan by announcing that the Hebron board grants leave of absence on full pay to all who attend. Superintendent Blmpson of Auburn announces that hn will be thera and do his best to bring all the teaching force. Superintendent Toble of Falls City says the same. Join the army and coma with us." Illiteracy 1st the In Wed Mia tea. "An Illiterate la a person 10 years of age or older who cannot write In any lan guage." This Is the tost applied In the United Slates census compilations, saya the American Journal of Education. It may be assumed that one who eannot write can not read, and this la true with few excep tions. In 1870 there were In each 1,000 of population of the United States WO Illiter ates; In 18)0 there were 170; In 1S90 it had fallen to 133 and In 1900 to 107. Thus it ap pears that In our country about ona person In every nine of 10 years and over Is Illiter ate. In England, Scotland and Holland thera Is but one In forty. In Swltserland one In lbS, In Denmark one In 600, In Sweden and Norway ona In 1.2&0 and in Germany Illiteracy Is almost unknown. The ratio In 1W8 among all the recruits In the army was hut ona In 2.&00, and Illiteracy Is probably even less among the German people gen erally than among the recruits. These facts are not such as to make Americans proud. Nor can wa excuse our nelves on the ground that wa receive great numbers of immigrants from the less In telligent peoples of Europe, for In many atates the Illiterates of native parents out number those whose parents were born In foreign lands: nor Is It In the south only in which this Is true. In tha state of New York In WOO 18,ono Illiterates were of foreign parentage and 29,000 of native. Moreover in the large titles, where our foreign-born population Is largely congregated, the per centage of Illiteracy is lower than in smaller cities or- 25,000 or less, and In the large cities it Is no greater than in the average country district. i oat for Bellevae Calleare. Anderson Craln, B. D., manager of Belle vue college, University of Omaha, gives that institution a lively boost in tho form of, a challenge addressed "to the gradu ate of Nebraska and other high schools," in which be says: Thera la nothing so atlrs the blood of youth as a challenge: 1 want to challenge you to attempt hlgh- education! Tne times are calling for young men and women of higher Intellectual attainment! The demand Is vaatly greater than the upply! The varloua Industries of the world are not progressing as they should for lack of young men and women qualified to stand in positions of responsibility and trust. In every profession, vocation and enterprise niif urtumuy quaimea are being searched for as diligently aa the famous philosopher once looked for an honest manl ' "Wa are living, we are moving In a grand and awful time! In an age on agea piling: To be living Is sublime!" I challenge you to prepare for (lie poal- Privilege and power that await all qualified to fill them! And. may I ask, where are vou going to get that training? I was talking not long since to the great Frank Gunsaulus of Chi cago, the man who Is perhaps the leader in Intellectual affairs of the age. and he said practically this: "I have personally been instrumental in raising millions for great educational Institutions, but Judging from my personal experience and observa tion, I must sdmlt that those who are trained In small oollegea are they who be. tome the leadera In the affairs of their fel. low-men. I owe all I have attained to the small college, and I believe In It as I b lleve in no other .educational Institution." Iowa, Cellegr, Grlaaell. Mr. Charles M.

'' Among tho delegation of farmers appear ing before tha county commissioners Sat urday morning to preeemt the claims of the Military Road for paving, waa Ben Mc Ardle. "We think that If tho county haa any money to spend for road Improvements and paving," aaid Ir. McArdle, "that the Military Road should come in for its share. You know the drive and the beauty of the country out Our way makes It one of the prettiest drives In eastern Nebraska. We want you folks to drive out and sec us. We want to sco the old Military Hoad made a boulevard. We have no prejudice against automobiles and want to see the chug wagons go by.

We like Omaha and we want every convenience afforded us to visit the city." v A. R. Modlsett, one of the leading live stock men of Cherry county, is a guest et the Merchants hotel. He waa one of the cattlemen of the northern part of the state who was acquitted in the federal courts recently of conspiracy in certain land transactions wherein it was alleged that he had been interested in securing In dians from the Pine Ridge agency to make filings- in his Interest. Speaking of the live stock Industry in the northern part of the state at this season, he said: "The live stock conditions up In our sec tion are the best thla season they have been for many winters, that Is so far as the wintering of the cattle Is concerned. 1 won't talk about prices, for I can't do tint without thinking hard things. The winter has been so mild that the cattle have ranged out all winter and we have had but little feeding to do. We were a little worried for awhile about the dry season, but the big snow of several weeks ago came down so evenly and plentifully that tha grass has already started and the cat tle are doing splendidly. I have put In a couple of months visiting In the east and I find that the people down there are ex pecting big things from the west for the future. They have got over the Idea thnt wo are wild and woolly out here and are beginning to ait up and take notice ot us." James Allan, who has been In charge of the party employed by the county commis sioners to drag Cut-Off lake to find the body of Carl Nelson, the milkman, who is supposed to have been drowned In the lake while crossing It on the Ice January 27, m, said at tlwj-'Schlits hotel: "We have been engaged on the work about two weeks now and have hunted every possible place for the body. We have to submit our final report today. Thus far not the slight est trace of Nelson has been found. We have dragged the lake thoroughly and In spected the old cave, wells, straw and hay stacks In that, vicinity, without result. Nelson had kbout $C0 tin his person when he disappeared, and unless his body still remains tangled up In the weeds at the bottom of the lake he has probably Just dropped out of sight. We can get nothing tangible out of his Danish companions. Many of them refuse to believe that he was drowned, but that he simply went away. I talked to Mrs. Nelson yesterday for the first time. She still believes that her husband will return. He had no Insur ance, gnd according to her statement the family relations were pleasant. She does not think ha was drowned, but that he has Just gone away under a fit of temporary insanity and will come bark some time." W. R.

There ar two bitterly opposing factions among th republicans. They -are known as the fed eral or administration migade ' and th combination.' The federal brigade Is sup. porting Taft, while the 'combination' tiai centered Its Interests on Cannon, Faltbankr nd Hughes. The 'combination crowd hai control of the national committee there and they are making tho most of It. It If simply a case of the' 'outs' ttj liig to be come the 'Ins.' The breach Is widening all tho while and it looks to me as If each faction will appear at the national conven tion with a delegation. In fact, I know that there are divided delegation in both Alabama and Georgia, and up In Tennesseo the Brownlow and H. Clay Evans factions manifest no show of.; getting together. About the only stir down there In demo cratic politics Is the Tom Watson crowd trying to down Bryan. But they will not succeed. Watson Is the only" remaining vestige of the populist party In the south, but I do not think he lias sufficient follow lng to cut any figure at all.
