School Head Says
Present System of
Taxes Is Diseased
Claim. Trouble It Not With

Eacape. .
C. Ray Gates, superintendent e(
schools o( Columbus. Neb- tor the
put (our yean, and who goes to
orana island as superintendent next
year, bat written a practical article
dealing with the financial problem
ot tnc scnoois ot today. He says:
"If achool hai been operated
upon business basis, hi not gone
to area on is as. and hai added teacn
en and new department! to the eys
tern only at rapidly at the com-
' munlty was willing to approve, and
pay the bill, then I doubt if there
it anything in the school ayitem that
can be eliminated without taking a
backward atep. I am not willing to
concede that Nebraska communities
generally, where theie principles
nave been followed, are so hard hit
financially that great and wholesome
elimination is necessary.
Poor Service Costly.
"Whatever a community needs, it
is going to pay for whether it gets
it or not I know a man with sev
eral decayed teeth in his mouth. He
has not visited a dentist because of
the expense and now the ill health
which they cause has seriously in
terfered with his work and has cut
down its earning power. A com
munity may prefer bad roads to the
expense of providing good roads, but
when it takes twice as many horses
to haul half the load on the poor
road that it takes on a good one,
the community is paying for it just
the same. . ' . .
- "The question, after all, is not how
high taxes arc, so long as the figure
is within reason, but whether the
.money raised is wisely and efficiently
expended on enterprises which leave
the community on a higher plane.
. "I believe that, as we go through
the schools in Nebraska we shall find
less fads and frilts than we find on
the shelves of the stores of the town.
1 am willing to take any fair-minded
man thru the Columbus schools, and
then start m with him in any store
in the city, ,
"Lew Fada in Schools." ,
"I will stake my reputation upon
the proposition that we will find in
finitely more fads and useless things
in the business houses than in the
schools. Why do drug stores sell
lip-sticks, face powder, and the like?
Simply because there is-a strong pub
lic demand that they sell these ar
ticles. Why do the schools super
vise the health of the children, direct
their physical education, teach them
to take care of their automobiles, or
operate a commercial department?
For exactly the same reason there
is a strong public demand for this
' service. ' ' '

community and therefore the people
who own real rtati and viaihU

Misner Summer School
Has Record Enrollment
The Misner School of the Socken
Word opened its summer course
with the largest enrollment it has
ever had. On Monday evening the
students were entertained by the
Misner players in "It Pays to Adver
tise." . This company , left Omaha
Tuesday, morning for Minnesota,
where they open a 12 weeks' engage
ment in chautauqua. The company
is . comprised of students of the
school. Another company leaves
next Monday on a southern tour and
June 19 the "Peg o' My Heart" com
pany will depart.
The children's class, which is an
eight-weeks' course with two les
sons a week, will start this week.
Teachers of State
Organize to Get
Pension Enacted
Permanent Association Is
Formed for Purpose of
Obtaining Legislation
to Help Profession.
Lincoln, Neb., June 11. Revision
of the state school laws, amendments
to the school tax system, creation of
a 'teachers' pension law and other
pieces of legislation designed to ben
efit the teaching profession of Ne
braska, probably will receive the
consideration of school teachers who
are now organizing for the first time
into a permanent, year-round state
teachers' association, according to E.
M. Hosman, secretary.
"That the association may lead the
way in calling for a revision of the
school laws and suggest drastic
changes in the school tax system is
indicated in reports and recommenda
tions made by many of our mem
bers," Mr. Hosman states! "No def
inite objectives have as yet been se
lected by the teachers, but the grow
ing strength of the organization, to
gether with the opportunity it is af
fording for expressions of opinion,
has caused teachers everywhere to
begin to inquire why Nebraska
struggles along year after year with
virtually the same statutes, while
other states have revised, or are re
vising, to meet conditions. .
"Other states have adopted laws
whereby a portion of the school's
budget is borne by the state, part by
the county and part by the district.
This, in the opinion of certain Ne
braskans prominent in the profu
sion, would make a more equitable
division of taxation, and also dis
tribute the educational facilities more
evenly." .
Other states also have taken the
lead in teacher pension laws, accord
ing to Mr. Hosman, but Nebraska
teacher? who are -considering this
legislation will insist that such a law
should not be made as charity, but
serve as a stabilizer in the profes
sion lacking at this time. ' . . '
"No member or groups have ex
pressed any pet theory for enactment
but agree on matters of general in
terest to the profession should re
ceive concentrated attention from the
people," declarees Mr. Hosman,

This business college was or

in the Baird building, and in order
to get larger quarters two years ago,
moved to the second floor of the Odd
Fellows hall, and now again moves

quarters. The school room will be
one of the best in the city, being
perfectly lighted, both for day and
night school use.
Tri-County Institute
Held at Pawnee City
Pawnee City.The Tri-county
Teachers' institute, which has been
in session here for three days,
closed. The institute was composed
of the rural and village teachers of
the counties of Pawnee, Johnson
and Nemaha. The sessions were
held in the First Methodist church
because of closer proximity to the
central portion of town. Over, 300
teachers attended. The feature of
the convention was the speech given
by Fred Veiland, a business man of
Topeka, Kan. He spoke on "Amer
icanism," emphasizing the possibility
of the teacher promoting American
ism. j .
Fifty-seven years after our civil
war it is costing the nation for pen
sions as much if not more than it
cost of war never ceases with the
nue during one of the years through
which the war was carried on. The
cost of war never ceases with the
signing of the peace treaty or the
winning of victory.

Vacation School
Plan of Boyles
Omaha Educator Will Con
duct Summer Seition to Fill
Office Help Demand.
I low often we hear the expression,
"This was actually the best vacation
I ever spent." Generally conaidered,
that's what a vacation is for to
spend money, to spend time and
often to expend more effort than if
one stayed at home and continued
working.
According to Mr. Boyles, head of
Boyles college, a person can "invest"
a vacation in a way that will show
profit and provide money for enjoy
ment throughout a lifetime.
Then he tells how young people
take to commercial training during
the summer months without suffering
a single hardship, because the work
is such a distinct change that it
affords a real diversion that is far
more beneficial than any three
months of idling could be.
And of all summers this is not the
one to fritter away because the de
mand for office workers is increasing
daily and the new material must be
prepared quickly.
This is why Boyles college will
continue its classes without letup
during the summer in both the day
and night school, in Omaha and
Council Bluffs.

Record Enrollment la
Made at Kearney Normal
With more than 1,700 students al
ready enrolled for the summer ses
sion of the State Teachers college,
Kearney will probably maintain the
record which it has held for scerval
years (or the largest summer school
in the state. Thia is an increase of
400 over last summer's enrollment.
The larger number of students has
caused an acute shortage of rooms,
while several men have been housed
in tents. Many additions have been
made to the faculty.
