ALLIANCE CITY SCHOOLS Interesting Information Contained Superintendent's Report to Board of Education LADIE8' AID ELECTION The Dun bHi- day afternoon the audiences they furnished Here's to the Alliance Woman" Club to whom credit is due for the splendid five-day Chautauqua, which i closed last Sunday night. It was J success from start to finish and gave the people of this city a series of entertainments that could not have been secured without heavy fi nancial cost except under the Red path Horner system. In our last Issue we mentioned the entertainment given on the first day by the Nashville Screnadera and the lecture by Dr. Frank L. lxve land, both of which were so well re ceived. On Thursday afternoon Rev. J. Rverist Cathell gave his celebrated lecture on Abraham Lincoln Which was not only entertaining but ver Instructive, and for that reason was a splendid help to the young people who heard It. The evening concert ; tne Riner Sisters and Mis- Lath rop, and the character delineations by Halwood ftoboft Mftnlove were well received. singing orchestra Frl- and evening satisfied with th; music which and would be Welcom ed if they should reClrn to this dry. The lecture by Hon James (5. Whit lnt on "Graft and drafters " was co'iunendcd by those who heard it. The Itirperial Guards Hand furnish ed some good music Saturday after noon, but It was at the grand con cert Saturday evc.i'iu that that Uius.c was most npiireclated. It was ji treat to Alliance music lovers which they do not often have the privilege of enjoying and could not have hud at this time except tinder the Chautauqua crcnit as above men tioned. Dr. Alva M. Beitel's lee taN on Saturday afternoon on "Tb Measure of a .Man" will long be re membered by those who heard It and it will no doubt have a whole some influence. Sunday was the closing day of tlx Chautauqua. The Litchfield Trio's prelude and the reading by Miss Buckley were well received as was also the evening entertainment, the sacred concert. The people of this city were especially interested in the Litchfield Trio because one of them, the cellist, Herbert Nelson was formerly an Alliance hoy, having graduated from the High school here A large audience as tent to hear the ser Chancel lor Geo. li of those who attend before learned that here as announced At the meeting of the Indies' Aid society of the First Presbyterian church, neid at ine cnurcn yesier- day afternoon, the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. J.

All of the lectures and addresses during the Chautauqua were good, but it is no disparagement to the others to say that Dr. Gordon's was one of the very best of the series and one of th best ever delivered in this city. -Ws thoughts and suggestions were helpful and wire presented with an eloquence that made them more inspiring and ton-iul We are glad to inform readers that the Chautauqua permanent in Alliance, under pices of the Woman's Club, enough season tickets have ANNUAL COST OP THE SCHOOLS The report, of the superintendent of the Alliance city schools to the honrd of education, made at (he meet ing of the board on Monday, August 6, contains so much Information that will interest many Herald readers, We me v lad to publish it . a- toMows .

THE CHICAGO MARKETS We learn from last week's Chad ron Chronicle that tne coioreu peo pie of that city, assisleu by a num uer of their white friends, celebrated Kmaiicipation Oay on .Mondav, Aug usi , with an appropriate program in a move meeting. i tie celebration was held in John diodes grove oast of Chadron. riarly in the . morning loads of eatables, chairs, tables, etc were taken to the grounds where ai an early hour everything was placed in readiness for the big celebration A large platform had been erected for the speakers, which was well cov ered with bunting, and flags and bunt Ing were seen in many places ovei the grounds, which denoted the pat rlotic spirit of the colored people. At about 1 o'clock the cnjwd be nan to arrive from the city, and at ISiO all who were present were seal ed at the long tables which were spread and heavily laden with eats blee and were in charge of .Mrs. K W. W right, who acted as hostess of the occasion and performed her du ties well, and no one left the table hungry. At a O'clock the meeting was call ed to order by Chairman B, W Wright, and after the readlrig ot the thirteenth and fourteenth constltu tional amendments of the United States, the program was opened with a prayer by Mr. Wright. 1'rofessor K. P. Wilson was the principal speaker of the day and gave a good history of the colored race and what has been accomplish ed by them since they have becotnt (NO American citizens. L. J. F. laeger also made a short and Interesting talk on the question of slavery, and paid a high tribute to the colored people as a whole, ami showed conclusively that they are true and patriotic people. Mayor Benjajiiin I ioweul hal, on the part of the city oi Chadron, p ud a high tribute to the colored people living in Chadron. After a short address by K. W Wright, who gave a short history of his race of people and the exercises of Hie day were closed. During the afternoon music was furnished by the young men's quartet of the city and a mandolin club which Mr. Wright had organized. Manv people were at the grounds during the da.v going out in automo biles and all spoke very highly of the manner in which the program was carried out. There are probably as many col ored people in Alliance as there are in Chadron. The Herald suggests that they follow the example set by those of Chadron and other plates, by hereafter observing Kmaiicipation Day with appropriate exorcises. This paper will be pleased to give l hem any assistance it can in mantel's ot this kind. in To to sub- following annual report rela matters of Bchool Interest: Alliance, Nebr., Aug. the Hoard of Kdu.atlon, Alliance.

It may be of interest to note the effect of the introduction of the man ual training and domestic science courses. The boys, in the ninth and tenth grades, are permitted to elect manual training or Latin; while the girls, in the ninth grade only this year (ninth and tenth next year) were permitted to elect domestic science or Iatln. The student Is not entirely free to choose but must consult parent before making the de cision. In the year just closed, 1911 1912, 14 boys elected Latin and 16 elected manual training; 15 girls elected Uitln and 18 elected domes tic science. Thus, a total of -'!4 elec ted manual training and domestic science and 29 elected Iatin. It is still too early to draw conclusive de ductions upon the effects of the in troduction of the manual training and domestic science co irses, but the figures are interesting.

Fifty-four hoys from grades six and seven carried this work one hour per week and twenty-five boys from the High school carried it eighty minutes per day. five days in the week. N'o attempt was made to keep the expense of the grade boys separate from that of the High school POjre, The fifty four boys one hour per week would be equivalent to eleven hoys working one hour per day each clay of the school week, so we had the squivai Win of ;i0 boys in the slf fronj in to 80 minutes daily during the entire- year for a cost of 100.68 or 62.78 per boy per year. The COS) j a boy working only one period pes week would be. a pproximut ely , one fifth of tills amount, or 50 cents per rear. This amount, then, represents approximately the cost per pupil iter vear for the manual training in tlie grades. The total amount of money Invest ed in equipping the shop lu I916 PHI was $197.00; the additional equipment purchased in 191.1-12 w.is $H.r) 00. This makes the total codf of the equipment for 18 boys for a full year's work in the shop $29:;. 20.

The weather during the past week has been almost Ideal. Last week wi mentioned that a spell of dry weath er would be very acceptable 00 ac count of having. We have had a little of it. For nearly a week there has been very little rain, and good use has been made of the short dry spell in cutting and stacking t lie fine hay crop, although there is much of it to be done yet. There are indications of rain to day, and it has been raining; slight ly. hut WO do not expect it to con tinue long. A month now with little or no rain would be quite acceptame to most people in this country.

BLOCKADED Chairman of Association of Western Railways Requests the Co-operation of Shippers BIG CROP OF GRAIN TO MOVE Every Household in Alliance Know How to Resist Should It The chairman of the Association of Western Railways has addressed a circular letter to industrial traffic managers, and commercial organiza tions calling attention to the probabil ity of a shortage of cars the coming fall and requests their co-operation to prevent it as much as possible. The circular, which is too long to publish, gives figures showing the probability of a serious shortage in, cars within the next few months and makes some suggestions relative to the same. They suggest as a remedy three things in particular. First, that all lumber, coal, cement and other freight possible be moved within the next few week instead of delaying and throwing it on the railways when they are staggering under the load of the crop move ment . Second, shippers anil consignees can greatly help themselves, the railways and all other shippers by loading and unloading all c.ts deliv ered to them as expeditiously as. practicable. Third, shippers can help them selves by loading all cars as near their capacity as practicable. We suggest that those of our read ers who wish the above mentioned circular letter, to write to W. A.
