STATE SUPERINTENDENT'S WORK
The accompanying- may show at a
lance the progress of the rural schools
of the state for the year 1W5. It Is it rati
fying Indeed to those who are especially
Interested In rural Nebraska and evsrjr
Nebraskan should be. for practically
very interent within the state depends
upon agriculture. About 260,000 of the
SSH.ooo children of school site In the state
are found In the rural school. For some
unaccountable reason the rural schools
have been chained to elementary trades.
It was considered heresy o talk about
providing; high school facilities at home
for the boys and girls of the country
places. Tet the best schools may be es
tablished and maintained In the small
centers and even In the open country.
Only about t,flni) younu people from the
country schools who completed the eighth
grade examinations took advantage of the
free attendance law to enter the estab
lished high schools In September, 1916.
The records show that a very small
per cent of the children In the rural
schools are given the privilege of a high
school education. It would appear there
fore that both the need and the oppor
tunity for efficient school building are
found In the open country. The country
people are not only willing but anxious
that their children shall have as good
facilities for securing an education as are
afforded the boys and girls of the towns
and cities.
New Way to College.
The country people want an open door
not only Into high school but In the col
lege and university. Conditions make It
necessary to modify courses. The stand
ard does not need to be lowered, but It
does need to be widened. A standard
six feet high and alx Inches wide will
not serve modern Institutions. There Is
no reason why the standard should not
be six feet high and six feet wide; not
a high-narrow but a high-wide standard
vls necessary for these times.
It will hurry any of the other states
In the union to make the showing In one
year Nebraska made In 1915. so far as
school building la concerned. The may
tells Its own story. One hundred and
ninety-one new high schools In one year
is a gratifying record and all of these
schools are operating under approved
conditions with approved courses of
study, approved teachers with as good
qualifications as are found In the towns
and cities of the state, approved buildings
and apparatus, eto.
Besides these, there is a large number
of schools doing high school work which
tinder the conditions could not be ap
proved, but in which examinations will
be given at the close of the year. Pupils
who pass these examinations satisfac
torily will be given proper credit there
for. Of the 19i high schools, twenty-one
are consolidated schools, nine of which
are operating high school only; twelve
are completed consolidations and are
operating complete systems; six are
county high schools.
Ceases for Delay.
The program of school building oould
not be rotten well under way until the
spring months whloh made It too late
for the work to be completed before 'the
annual meeting. At the annual meeting
the districts their usual millage which
again kindred the completion of the con
solidated school, as no means were at
hand for' a distribution of the tax from
the Individual to the group district. There
are eighty-four of these uncompleted con
solidations. It Is expected that a large
number of these will be ready to begin
operation next year.
The new schools established in .1915
bring within the reach of 10,000 children
at least a ten grade high sohooL The
field la large and there la yet much to be
done, but a good beginning Is worth
while. One hundred and sixty rural
school buildings were built, most of which,
conform to the most modern Ideal of
school building, but the advancement Is
not confined to the rural schools. A large
number of villages and towns have In
creased the number of their high schoot
grades until pratlcally 150 schools have
either established new high schools or
Increased their high school advantages by
additional grades and forty-three towns
and cities have built new plants at a
cost of from $15,000 to JGO.OOO. There Is
not a -school shown on the map which
wss In existence a year ago.
Mars Is Having Its

FLAGSTAFF, Aril.. Fob. 12. What ap
pears to be the first spring frost on Mars
for this season has Just been detected by
the astronomers of the Lowell observa
tory in latil'Jde M decrees and longitude

active proves of melting, a circular rift

M'ADOO MAY HAVE TO
TRAVEL SOUTH ON WARSHIP
WASHINGTON, Fbb 11-Because there
are no passenjer liners under the Ameri
can flue making trips between the Vnlted
States and buenos Aires, Secretary Mc
Adoo and other members of the Interna
tional II lull commission probably will go
on a warship to the meeting of the com
mission In April.
The only liner making regular sailings
, to Buenos Aires is a British vessel, and
the commlEsloners are said to feel It
might not be looked upon as entirely
r roper for representatives of this country
to sail on such an Important mission on
the ship of one of the European belli
gerents. THINKS CREWS OF ARMED
VESSELS COULD BE HANGED
EER'JN, Feb. l'.-Leo Bernhardt
writes In the Vosslscho Zeitung, con
cerning armed merchantmen, that the
memorandum clears up the question
whether neutrals have the right to take
Jaunts across the sea wltaout peril, at
Germany's coat.
"We do not doubt." i continues, "that
after the present convincing dlsclueures
nn tral governments will acknowledge
Germany's riKlit to conduct submarine
warfare without restraint, as Its vital
Interests demand."
llerr Bernhardt alo is of the opinion
that Uermany la acting mildly as It
might treat armed merchantmen as
plratea and hang the crews from the
yardami.

Flunking Middies Can
Resign from Academy
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. All of the
lghty-two midshipmen at Annapolis
who were recommended for dismissal he
cause they failed on their mldsesslon ex
amination will be permitted to resign in
stead of having the blot of expulsion
from the service against their record.
After approving the academic board'a
recommendation that the midshipmen be
dismissed, Secretary Daniels todsy wrote
to Captain Kberle, superintendent of the
Naval academy, authorizing him to ac
cept resignations.
Mr. Daniels explained that he believed
a boy should be dismissed from the
academy only in punishment for miscon
duct. About half of the midshipmen who
failed are members of the fourth class,
eligible for reappointment, so many of
them may return to the academy next
fall.

"Julius Caesar," "'Midsummer Night's

You'll Feel Like
If you . will only dean UD tout whole svatem. relieve) it of
tbe stagnation of blood and tbe consequent toxins that poison
its action, and aid your breathing and digestion by gently clear
ing the way for their perfect working.
Colds, coughs and grip are the symptoms not the cause of catarrh,
either acute or chronic, local or systemic. Catarrh is inflammation of the
mucous membrane, that substance through which you breathe the air and
absorb your food. If it la inflamed filled with stagnant blood whatever it
absorba must be tainted ; and Mature gives warning end than fights to throw
off tbe stagnation,
Wbea this warning is given, by a cold. cough, indigestion, er fever, it
means the catarrhal process is getting the best of the body. Go to the rescue
with good, reliable tonic for the membrane, a helping hand that will aid
digestion, restore appetite, overcome stagnation, relieve inflammation and
bring back health.
Peruna Has Done This
Thousands of people who have suffered long have been healed. Hundreds
of thousands have prevented more serious troubles and been restored. Forty
four years of success have made Peruna the family remedy in the homes of
America.
It Invigorates, It clears up the mucous niembrane, so that it may re
store we di earning ana ure oigesuon to
normal. These two functions are the body
builders. Build your body to health, and
you will "feel like a boy again."
Experience Is the safest guide.
Does anybody ever question the story of
the many thousands who praise Peruna?

Barb Wire Fence
Between Swiss and
War Zone of France
(Correspondence of the Associated Tress.)
HEADQUARTERS. FRENCH ARMIES
ON WEST FRONT. Jan. $1. (British
Offlulal Bye-Wltneas.) What will the ad
venturous person who attempts to walk
along the French front trenches find
when he reaches the Sla frontier, the
extreme point of the French right wing?
He will find a barbed wire fence no
more formidable than those which en
close many. 'English meadows. After the
vast and complicated fields of barbed
wire which protect the trenches, this
fence seems absurdly Inadequate and arti
ficial to be the counterpart of the North
Sea which terminates the lines at the ex
treme other end. .
There are a few pieces of red and white
csnvst tied to the wl.-o to show that at
this point the neutral territory of Swlts
erland begins, and a single Swiss sentry
stands with bayonet fixed behind a mov
able barrier gamlshei with barbed wire
that Is set across the country road. - This
placid warlike scene seems sn Impossibly
tame conclusion for bK i!lcs of compli
cated earthworks and foiCflcatlona.
One drives to the Swii frontier through
the Trouee de Bel fort, the broad gap be
tween the Vosges and the Swiss Jura,
which offers so Inviting a paassge Into
France to the Invader from the east. One
passes It full speed along roads protected
from German a y by tall screens of
brushwood. . The roads are winding and
the Germans have 'many lookout posts,'
consequently the .screens are sometimes
on the left, sometimes on the right, and
sometimes en both sides, and one begins
to feel that the Germans are every
where. ' ' f ' : 'f . ' . . ' .. v
By a sentry box there stsnds a man
whom the French call "the man of the
extreme right." the sentry who guards
the furthest point of the French right
wing. He Is a douanie.', a -customs house
officer. So long ar he stsnds there on
duty with fixed bayonet he Is In perfect
safety, but as soon as h Is relieved and
goes away to rest in the neighboring vU
like he enters the danger tone and may
at any time get into the neighborhood of
a German shell. -
The trenches are hidden away In a wood
600 yards away, and one might think that
the place was quite without defense, but
nothing has been left to chance, and the
French are ready for any eventuality.
The Swiss sentry sslutes poluly as the
traveler approaches the boundary, and a
Swiss sergeant comes out from the neigh
boring guard bouse to examine the pa
pers. .
After a little conversation across the
fence that divides Switserland. from
France, . the sergeant proceeds to the
formality which he calls "opening the
frontier." Half the barrier across the
road la moved aside and replaced by a
lfgs wooden table. From the French side
there appear a number of peasant w omen
with large baskets; their papers are ex
amined by the "man of the extreme
right" and they are allowed to pass up
to the counter. Then buying and sellltur
begins across the frontier counter. The
Swiss government allows the peaaanta In
the French frontier village to buy pro
visions and the like from the Swiss shop
keepers, who bring their wares to the
frontier, provided that certain articles do
not go out of the country.

prlsonera of war wss more productive In
other fields of endeavor. Especially Is
this true 'where the Rueslans and Serbs
remained together under the control of
the military. In building roads and rail
roads no opportunity, for ahirklng was
given. Faoh gang hsd to do a certain
amount of work; results were Immediately
visible and therefore ausceptlhle to
prompt correction, which was not the
case In farming. The eiSglneer troops un
der whose survellance railroad work wss
done could not be easily fooled by the
prisoners of war, while the farmer had
he wanted to supervise his Involuntary
farm hand closely, could have done the
work himself. Since most of the old re
servists guarding the prisoners of war
were city people no Improvement from
that direction could be expected.
German farmers who employed Russian
prlsonera of war are said to have obtained
better results, thorgh. The Associated
Press correspondent cannot say that a
large landowner of the Hrnmlenhurg
province with whom he discussed the"
matter was at all enthusiastic over
the preapecta of having to raise another
crop with the aid of prisoners of war.
He said that In addition to being most
unwilling worker, the Russians he had
employed failed to learn rapidly, though
he had the services of an able Inter
preter. The handicaps of language have been
sorely felt by both sides, of course. An
Improvement In this situation Is now ex
pected. Many of the Russians and Serba
have learned German and Hungarian suf
ficiently well to tinderstsnd orders and
be understood In their turn. It Is likely
for this reason that next year the prla
oner of war will prove of greater value.
The Russian and Serbian prisoner of
war la a very tractable person on the
whole. Hardly any complaints have been
made against them by the communities
In which they worked and lived, uaually
with the scantiest provlslona for their
control. Their conduct has been very cor
rect throughout, and they have also
earned the reputation of being scrupu

what little trouble the prisoner of war
haa given Is mostly due to his d'elnrlina

CLERGY ANXIOUS TO
GET ON FIGHTING LINE
(Correspondence of the Associated Tress.)
I,ONtON Jan. 21. Although the bishop
of London has not seen his way
clear to set aside the rule of hla church
against combatant service for the
younger clergy, he lias told a delegation
of militant curates who called on him
that he would do all he could toward
enabling them to become chaplains and,
stretcher bearera.
Over LOW curates, who in lay life would
be eligible for military service, signed
a pellllon to the bishop, ssklng that they
be allowed to put on khaki and fight.
They claimed that the defense of a cause
that they devoutly believed to be righte
ous against one they thought evil was In
accord with the teachings of Christianity
and the Anslican church.
