The strenuous effort made by a few
doxen school boards in the state to change
tho date of the Nebraska Teachers' asso
ciation convention to Thanksgiving or
Christmas week instead of election week,
as It stands now, has reacted upon the
tea. hers In the judement of those who
watched the returns, so that the dates
proposed were voted down, and the elec
tion week d:ite was this time endorsed
by an overwhelming vote.
Thus, In spite of the efforts made by
these boards through circularising the
teachers, election week wss again chosen
as the meeting dnte by a vote of 1..H. as
against W for the first half of Thanks
giving week, :r for the second half of
Thinks? ivlni; week, nnd . for (.hriatmas

By the friends ol the election week

of l.rt.'. over the first half of Thanksgiv

Worries Over' Her CMfldlreiii
Every interest in life is secondary to their welfare. Her chief anxiety is
to have therr go out into the world fully armed and equipped to win an
honorable position.
She realizes keenly that the formation of a correct reading habit tww
will go far toward fitting them mentally to cope with the future.
While THE LITERARY DIGEST is read weekly by nearly a million
"grown-ups" it is especially welcome in homes where there are young folks,
for it answers the countless "whys" of youth the questions that they are
always asking j about the , great events in the world about them, and which
parents would; not be able to answer so well without its aid.
. And the young folks are not only delighted they thrive mentally.
It is not "dry", or "heavy" reading for the youthful mind, for the
DlGESX presents all the news, of the world except the vicious and morbid,
and explains the facts in the news in clean language and graphic pictures.
THE LITERARY r DIGEST encourages young people (and " grown-ups "
too, for that matter) to think for themselves, to form impartial and correct
judgment on live subjects, because while all the facts from all sides are
presented, there is no editorial attempt to color or bias them.
Ask any school-teacher anywhere .and he or she will be sure to agree that
"bright" children are the rule in homes where the DIGEST is a weekly
visitor. Reading it enables them to take a respectful and 'intelligent part
in discussions at school, at home, anywhere.
Give your children access to this incomparable weekly and watch how
quickly their school reports will commence to hug the 100 mark.
