- 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."

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 have no prejudice
against paving the Dodge street road, and
at the same time we want good roads all
over Douglas county. 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."

"The Interesting thing in Georgia and Ala
bam a is the political situation. 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. Yotl ran put
It down that the southern populists will
not endorse Bryan. Watson will not' let
them. lie will be tha populist nominee at
St. Louis."
