With Musical Selection Two ladles
Honored Wltb Prominent nea on
the ProrrtB,
. The oew high school building Was
formally opened Saturday evening,
the friends and patrons of the school
being invited to inspect the building:
and to listen to a short program pre
pared for the occasion. The rooms
looked delightfully new and fresh, the
brilliant gas and electric lights bring
ing out to good advantage the perfec
tion of finish and the convenient ap
pointments.' After the large audience was com
fortably seated Miss Ilajek opened the
exercises with a piano solo which was
brilliantly executed, and which
brought out the One tone of the new
piano perfectly. The invocation from
Dr. Baird was followed by an address
by H. D. Travis, his subject being
School Board Reminiscences." Many
amusing incidents were recalled by
him while serving on that honorable
body, and he also spoke of the vast im
provement in the morals and manners
of the pupils under the supervision of
the present excellent corps of teachers.
Mrs. Fellows read carefully prepared
paper on tbe "Missionary Work of the
Publto School." She spoke of the pos
sibilities of the students of the present
day, the degree of ' perfection that
could be attained, surrounded by the
perfect environments and facilities for
study. She also spoke enthusiastically
of the capabilities of the beautiful new
building, from a hygienic point of
view, to preserve the health and stim
ulate the energies of the students.
Miss Eauble played a violin solo, ac
companied by Miss Hajek.in her usual
dainty and finished style. Miss Ella
Clark also added greatly to the pro
gram by a vocal solo.
Mrs. Stoutenborough (poke most elo
quently on "What Constitutes a True
Education." Her earnest, sympathetic
interest in the subject gave her re
marks added interest.
Mr. Windham, as president of the
board of education, acted as master of
ceremonies, making an excellent ad
dress, and calling on Professor Mc
Hugh to round out the program with a
few closing remarks. The latter com
plied rather reluctantly, but his exces
sive interest in the 'schools and his
painstaking efforts to make the even
ing's exercises interesting, induced
him to speak briefly ot the work done
in the past,and of the plans formulated
for the future. He urged co-operation
on the part of tbe parents, without
which the best of teaching is futile.
The singing of "America" and the
inspection of tbe laboratory and con
veniences of the building closed the
. dedicatory exercises.
The opening of the new building
marks an epoch in the history of
Plattsmouth's educational life.and tbe
students of next year will enter with
renewed zeal upon their work. The
teachers who have struggled with the
inconvenietces of the old building will
partake of the enthusiasm and pride
winch every school patron must feel
when showing to admiring friends "our
new high school."
Most of the speakers of the evening
paid eloquent tribute to the life of
Frances Willard, whose pictured face
adorned the wall and whose beautiful
life and character cannot fail of being
an Inspiration to the students of the
present and those to come.
A IIAIlt - BREATH ESCAPE.
Joe Klein and Family Here n Close Call
For Their Uvea.
Joe Klein and family had an exper
ience last evening which they do not
care to have repeated. Mr. Klein has
been in the habit of hitching up his
horse near a steep embankment at
their home, and last evening after Mr.
and Mrs. Klein and little son bad got
ten into the vehicle ready to start out.
the horse began to back and in spite
ot all the driver could do it refused to
stop its backward course. Vehicle,
horse and occupants were in great
danger of going over the enbankment.
With great presence of mind, Mr.
Klein jumped out of the buggy just
as the hind wheels disappeared on the
edge and grabbed the animal by the
bits. In the meantime, however, the
horse stumbled and fell and this had a
tendency to increase the danger.
When the wheels went over the bank.
Mrs. Klein and son were both thrown
oilt, bat they escaped without Injury.
The harness was removed and the
horse was finally released from its per
ilous position. Mr. Klein is convinced
that the only thing which saved them
from being killed was his great pres
ence of mind, as he grabbed the horse
by the bits just In time to save the
whole outfit from going over the en
bankment.

The following in regard to the pro

Telephone Company's line into Lin
coln appeared in today's State Journal:
"Messrs. Parmele, Pollock, Ewing
and Clark of Plattsmonth, represent
ed the Western Independent Long
Distance Telephone company, appear
ed before the board of directors of the
Union-Commercial club and presented
the case of this company, which is
sockijg an opportunity of doing busi
ness in Lincoln, promising cheaper
telephones than now in use in this
city. The board seemed to bo almost
unanimously in favor cf a competing
company and tho matter of preparing
a suitable series of resolutions for pre
sentation to the city council was re
ferred to a committee consisting of J.
C. Seacrest, John T. Dorgan and W.
D. Fitzgerald. This committee will
report at a special meeting of the di

Dear Sir:- Wo notice by the State
Journal that as soon as you get Lin

and would write you at this time to
give you an idea of our Fueeess here
and to also assure you of our hearty
co-jperation with your company when
you get iu our neighborhood. We
have eighteen miles of standard toll
line built in this county in the direc
tion of Lincoln and we aro particular
ly anxious to connect with our state
capital citjT, as most f our long dit
tance talk is with that city, and it
would bo to the mutual benefit of both
Fairbury and Lincoln to have this
connection, as the Hell company has
not one merchant on their list in this
city, and only abjut thirty 'phones in
all, which I understand aro put in free
of charge, while our exchange has
every merchant in the city and a bona
fide paid list of two hundred and fifty
subscribers with a number of orders
j-ot unGlled. You can readily seo
where tho mutual benefit would coma
in, both to Lincoln and us, to get a
long distatico connection, for as all our
'phones are of tho long distance pat
tern our subscribers could do all their
long distance talking fioin their own
homes and Lincoln could catch anyone
they w anted without message and fee?.
Wishing you success iu Lincoln,
which jour reduction in rates will

DlHrimition of tbe Advisability of
nollilatiog School Districts.
This weok I continue the discussion
of tho above question with some ex
tracts from the reports of two Buper
intendenta in northeastern Ohio.
Report of Superintendent F. E. Mor
rison, Kinjjsville, Ashtabula county :
Tho new school system, which is
known as the Kingsville system of ed
ucation, has been formulated with
marked success.
liy this system the pupils of the sub
districts are given the same advan
tages for obtaining au education as
tho village pupils, and this result haa
oon obtained without working any
disadvantage to the village pupils, for
we have been enabled to open a new
room and supply another teacher in
the village schools, thus reducing the
number of grades in each room and
piving all the pupils better advan
tages. We have sufficient room yet
for several more j'upils without
crowding the roomc.
Tho pupils cf the eubdistricts are
not only given the advantage of 'more
cxteudid class associations and larger
classes with which to recite, but have
also tho advantages of a bcbool where
the teacher has fewer recitations and
can give more time and attention to
each recitation; thus the pupils' pro
gress is much more rapid than is pos
sible in a school where there are three
timos as many classes and one sixth
the number of pupils. It is a fact that
the work of the teacher depends more
upon the number of classes to recite
than the number of pupils in attend-
SYSTKM. I spirit in being pioneers in formulating
and placing in operation a Hjfctom of
education superior to any in tho stale
of Ohio, and which is to be the Bystam
of the future. The board of education
has been ensb'ed, under tho new sys
tem, to conduct Its financial matters
by better business methods, buying its
supplies in quantities and lettirn its
con tracts on competitive bids, and by
centralizing the school, thus saving
many needless expenses.
S'nce the schools were centralized
the incidental expenses have decreas
ed from $800 to $1000 per year, to from
$400 to $600 per year. All other ex
penses have also decreased, which
may bo seen from the following table
compiled from the clerk's records:

It should be mentioned also that the
permanent improvements made by the
board of education during the past
three year are nearly double tho
amjunt made duriner the preceding
three years.
Here are a few statistics from Buffa
lo Center, Iowa:
For tbe past fow years several
school districts have been conveying
children to and from school.
Perhaps the plan is conducted on a
larger scale at Buffalo Center, in Win
nebago county, than at any other Iowa
anco. It is a pleasure indeed to Dote ; point. In response to inquiries made
that the attendance in the subdistricts
that have availed themselves of the
new system has increased from 50 to
150 per cent in some cases, and a larg
er increase in all cases; the daily at
tendance In the subdistricts has in
creased from 50 or 60 per cent to 90
or 95 per cent, thus increasing great
ly the reiurns from the school funds
invested. This has been accomplished
at a saving of more than one thousand
dollars to the tax-payers in three
years.
The board of education and citizens
of Kinpsville are to be congratulated-
for their progressive and energetic
by the department of p jblic instruc
tloo, Principal A. A Sifert makes the
following report:
