"Have tciichcrH of NohrasUa legal
authority to compel pupils to recite
literary selections in the pulillu
iicIiooIh?" This question has been
Milmiittcd to Superintendent. Fowler
by Hurry Wilson, of nonlpluin, who
Bays that n M-yeur-olri boy bus been
expelled from school In thtit plnce
because of his refusal to finish spealc
inp; a piece, which ho hud nbont half
completed. On the suhject Mr. Fow
ler says: "The Kiipreme court Iuib
decided thnt u school board has power
to adopt and enforce reuHonablc. rules
nnd to prescribe the course of study
find text-books for the use of the
nohools. The. parent or guardian,
however, has a right to make a rea
sonable selection from the prescribed
conrsen of study for his child to pnr
isuo and this selection must be re
spected by the trustees, nn the right
of fche parent In this regard Is su
perior to that of the trustees and
the teacher. A rule which requires
pupils to take part, in recitations
seems to be a reasonable one and
could, be enforced by the board, un
lesH the parent or guardian could
show that taking part in such exer
cises was a detriment to the child.
To bo sure, a reasonable rule may
be made very unreasonable by the
manner in which It Is enforced. If
the boy under the rule In question
did his bent In the preparation for
his declamation and then failed when
ho came beforo the school because of
that embarrassment which has been
the terror of more than one school
lioy, he should not havo been ex
pelled nor even chastised, but en
couraged and entreated In the proper
Hpirlt until he could command suffi
cient resolution to try again. Hut if
ho failed through lack of preparation
and due effort on his part nnd re
fused to mnke. a second nttempt be
cause of sheer stubbornness, ho de
served expulsion."

A letter was circulated nmong the
Nebraska congressmen addressed to
the president, recommending the es
tablishment of three forest reserves
in as many localities In tho sandhill
districts of Nebraska. These reserves
as contemplated include an nggregato
of 558,720 acres, with but one per cert.
held under private claims. It is de
signed to hiakc the experiment of
raising timber in these forest reserve,
should the preHldent follow the sug
gest Ions of the Nebraska delegation.
It is sought 1o include tho so-called
Niobrara district, Which lies largely
In Cherry county, nnd In tho vicinity
of the Niobrara river; Dismal re
serve, which is situated in Hlaiue and
Loup counties, and the North Platte
reserve. It Is thought by those who
have the matter In chnrgc that tho
delegalon will be a unit in having tho
land set nslde.
Senator Millard is opposed to set
ting npnrt three forest reserves in
Nebraska, as contemplated by the de
partment of agriculture. He has re
fused to join the members of the Ne
braska delegation in recommending
the action proposed by tho depart
ment upon the ground that the sand
hills of Nebraska are fitted only for
grazing purposes. Ho is, however, In
favor of setting apart 30,000 to 50,000
ncres for the purpose of demonstra
ting whether small trees can be grown
on tho sand dunes which aro now
sought to bo isolated in tho forest
reserves.
