School Laws of Nebraska,
The Kearney Hub prints the fol
lowing relative to the new school
law a passed by the recent session
of the legislature;
Firfat We have a good high
school law, which obviates the de
fect of the old one in imposing a
general tax and, imposes it upon the
district which sends pupils to any
high school district, the district
levy being made in the usual man
ner. No high school is compelled
to take non-resident pupils unless
it has been so voted at the June
meeting, and smaller high schools
arc not compelled to take them un
less they choose.
Second One of the best school
laws we have ever had iR that
which debars any member of any
school board from voting to employ
a relative as a teacher, even though
the relationship Is distant to the
fourth degree. Supcrtcndents have
been given a great deal of trouble
with iudilTercnt teachers In the past
by school officers employing rela
tives. Third The traveling library law
ib important. Under its provisions
books may be sent from one school
district to another and kept in cir
culation, each district having a new
supply at regular intervals.
Fourth The rural high school
law is deserving of mention. It en
ables several country districts to
consolidate for high school purposes
and maintain a graded school.
Fifth An important change has
been made in the &tudy of history,
removing it from the second grade
and putting it in the third grade,
In the second grade a study of the
elements of agriculture will here
after be compelled to pass examin
ation in that branch.
Sixth Here's one for teachers.
It compels every teacher to attend
a teachers' institute eacli year in
the county where employed.
Heretofore they could attend in
some other county and ask credit
for it from their local superintend
ent.

The liability to disease is greatly
lessened when the blood is in good con
dition, mid the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter

otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti

malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy

As a blood purifier nnd tonic S. S. S.

remedy for old people and children
because it contains no minerals, but is
made exclusively of roots nnd herbs.
No other remedy so thoroughly nnd
