EDUCATIONAL NOTES
The conductors of Relief Study
Centers now being conducted at O’Neill
and Page report very commendable
work being done by the students and
excellent grades received. They are
now in their fifth week of work. When
the eight weeks are completed each
student will have earned six college
hours credit with an expense of about
—
$5.00 each. This has been an unusual
opportunity.
On account of the delay in petting
started, caused by complications at
Lincoln, several who had registered at
O’Neill and Page were not sure they
could get the work so left to register
in different colleges. There are now
Ho students completing the work.
When word first came that Study
Centers could be organized each town
in the county made application for a
center and each place had a large en
rollment. On January 18th, however,
came a stop order from the federal ad
ministrator, Harry L. Hopkins, which
caught a large number of Centers over
the state in the process of organiz
ation. Only 100 centers could qualify
as going centers in which group,
O’Neill, Page and Ewing were chosen.
Ewing decided not to take advantage
of their opportunity at this time, due
to unforseen difficulties. Page and
O’Neill started at once.
Twenty-five centers over the state
were reported by the University as
just one step behind this 100. In this
group the rest of our towns were
classed. We have information that
Atkinson will rate first of the twenty
five additional, which we hope will be
given permission to start very soon.
Indications now are that we may
continue the present centers and, have
all the others going in a very short
time if enough interest is shown. This
is a rare opportunity for our young
people to secure college credit beside
taking many out of the employment
list. I would urge anyone who is
interested in this movement to write
to Miss Lulu Wolford, CWS Director
at Lincoln, State Capitol Building,
urging that the present centers be ex
tended and, more provided. I would
also write to our State Senator and
Representative.
The following data will give an idea
of the value of the work over the state
and relative cost of the same as com
pared with other relief projects.
The 100 operating centers registered
1,(106 Nebraska young men and women.
It is interesting to note that 4!) per
cent of this number are young men.
and 61 per cent young women; that
the average age was 22. More than
1,500 of these young people were high
school graduates, and some 20 per
cent had had previous experience in
higher institutions of learning.
For a continuation of the present
100 going centers and provision for an
additional 100 centers between now
and May, it has been estimated that
the total cost to the government would
be hardly as much as four miles of
improved highway pavement. The ed
ucational rehabilitation of 4,000 young
people, and the direct employment of
only 1125 staff members to carry the
work to completion is a project that
demands most serious consideration.
These 4.000 young people are removed
from competition for employment at a
cost to the government of less than
$2.00per week, an insignificant amount
as compared with other employment
projects however meritorious.
Patron’s Day was observed in the
schools of the county during the past
week. District No. 205 reports as
follows:
Invitiations, the silhouette of George
Washington, were sent to all patrons
of the district. The school room was
decorated in red, white and blue
steamers. On the walls, pictures,
posters, calendars, etc., made by the
pupils, were hung. Booklets, pictures,
posters, etc., which were made during
the year were displayed for looking
over by the patrons. Eighteen patrons
were present. Most of them came at
1:00 o’clock. Regular classes were
held until 2:45 when a program was
given. This consisted of songs, recit
ations, exercises and compositions on
Washington and Lincoln. Two other
children in the district added to the
program by a recitation and a song.
After the program, as refreshments,
red, white and blue popcorn balls and
apples were passed around. The pat
rons left after four o’clock, all having
reported to have spent a most enjoy
able afternoon. Miss Amelia Krysl is
the teacher.
District No. 51 report a very fine
Patron’s Day. Regular recitations
were held during part of the afternoon,
after which the mothers of the district
gave an impromptu program. Light
refreshments were served. Miss Edna
McNulty is the teacher.
In District No. fift, Miss Mae Myer,
Leather, a rather unique program was
held. In sending invitations to the
patrons each one was asked to come
prepared to give a number on the
program since there were only two
pupils in the school. The patrons
responded very nicely and a very in
teresting program was presented.

teacher; No. 124, Elizabeth Henry,
teacher; No. 128, Kathryn Grass,

The three year old son of Mr. and
Mrs. James Morey, of Thedford, lost
the sight of his left eye when he was
spurred by a rooster. Examination by
an occulist at Hastings revealed heal
ing of the wound impossible. The
boy had caught a chicken in the yard
of his home, attracting the rooster
which attacked the youngster.
The Knox county board of super
visors have passed a resolution pro
viding for the erection of a new court
house at Center. The building will
cost approximately $57,000 and will
be paid for from a $50,000 building
fund now on hand and a $7,000 CWA
allottment. The resolution authorized
the county board to employ an arch
itect and to proceed with construction
at an early date.
Robert Peterson’s right eye is gone
and the sight in his left threatened,
but he bears no ill will towards the
younger brother whose playful act
caused the damage. “He didn't mean
to do it," said the 8 year old boy, lying
on a hospital cot here. Robert, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Peterson of Ne
braska City was at home recovering
from a long illness, and still too weak
to arise when the brother pointed a
play gun at him. It shot an arrow
which originally had been rubber tip
ped. But the tip had broken off, leav
ing a jagged, end. The arrow pierced
Robert’s eyeball. He was rushed to
a hospital and doctors tried to save
the eye, but removed it finally lest its
condition affect that of the other.
