Lang, 1909 Nebraska Wesleyan. who has spent the sum mer in the states has returned to ('anal Zone where he is .superintend ent of public instruction with head quarters at Balboa. He attended the teachers college at Columbia university this summer and there met John Talbot. 1910 Wesleyan. who has given the doctorate degree at Columbia this summer. Mr:;. Lang, nee Manota Perry, spent the summer with her mother near l'latts mouth. This was Mr. Lang's seventh voy age between the states and the isth mu. On his return he and Mrs. Lang stopped at Port au Prince. Haiti. He writes a Wesleyan friend: background and luxuriant vegetation makes a very beautiful and pictur esque sight. However, riding about the little city of the negro republic one at once realizes that it is a case of distance lends enchantment. The poverty and filth are indescribable and the heat almost unbearable. Af ter a few hours in an automobile we are happy to board our ship and proceed once more for cur own beau tiful Canal Zone. "We have spent three summers in the states and one in the interior province of the republic of Pananv. at an elevation of :'.."00 feet on the side of the extinct Volcan de Chiriqui with an altitude of 11.000 feet and i:i the wonderful mountains of beau tiful Costa Rica at an altitude of 4.500 feet and in view of Yolc;:n Irazu towering 12.000 feet among the clouds.. In both of those wc had a delightfully cool and in vigorating elimate. With these di visions and the interesting work ve have on the Canal Zone the seven vears we have passed here have pass ed rapidly." Mr. Lang writes further: "The Canal Zone lias become Americanized to the extent that it is really a lit 1 1 strip of then United States located in the tropics. In addiion to the large army and navy population it has a civilian population of "1, f'.f.o. The school system is cr.mpanshle with a city school system in the I'niu :! States of equal population. "We have five elementary and tv.i high schools for American children and six elements: y schools for YYo' Indian children. These are coir. par able with ward schools in a city sys tem. Contrary to the belief of many unfamiliar with conditions here, we have no native children on the Canal Zone. Our American schools are purely American in every way. They are composed of American children, and taught by American teachers under conditions one might expect to find in an American city. Wc have no rural or one-teacher schools. The schools are all graded and pupils transfer to and from the states schools with comparative ease. The teachers have the best qualification.', and are selected from those having successful experience in the city school systems of the United States. The applications have been so num ercus that we have as yet had no difficulty in securing well qualified and experienced teachers in spite of the critical teacher shortage in the states. "The West Indian schools are for children of the colored West India laborers. These schools are con ducted on the American plan wiiii slight changes in the course of study. They are taught by West Indian male teachers, most of whom have been trained in the normal schools and colleges of Jamaica and have had a nuiiber of years' experience in the government schools there. Practically all of the colored child ren are Jamacians. There are a few from the other West Indian islands. They are all Knglish speaking. "Our schools are all Mrictly En glish speaking. We have no Span ish speaking schools as many people believe. A few children of the bet ter class Spanish families living in the cities of Panama and Colon pay a tuition fee and attend some of our schools to learn the English lan guage. Many of these in this way learn to speak beautiful Engli: h. Wo offer a Spanish course of four years in each cf our high school i and provide two or three periods per week of instruction in Spanish in our elementary schools beginning with the fourth grade. We have two Spanish speaking teachers employed sepecially for. this elementary work." "Aside from our school work we enjoy some rather unique and inter csting social experiences. Last No v cm her Lazaro of the New York Met - j ropolitan opera house was here in grand opera for a week. In Decern- i ber Secretary of War Baker visited j the Canal Zone and we attended a ; reception in his honor. In the j spring we were present at a recep- tion given to the Prince of Wales by j the president of the republic of Pan- j ama The prince is returning through Canal this week. General' Pershing also has visited us. Wc have frequent opportunities to at-! end receptions given by various dip- loniatio representatives of the repub- J lie of Panama and also by Americans j and foreign commanders aboard their ' ships. Then. too. many of the poo pie employed on the Canal Zone are unusually interesting and well worth knowing." 10 ,10 10 10 j Larj ; 10 c bars Lenox soap for 48c bars Electric Spark soap 75c bars Flake white soap 75c bars white borax naptha soapG3c e pkg.

County Clerk. Lincoln. Sept. 22. After January 1, next, the state ofl'icers of Nebras ka will not be compelled to live on "starvation ealaries." Constitutional proposition No. 40, approved by the voters in yesterday's election, provides for a liberal in crease for the state executives. The governor's salary is trebled, being raised from $2,500 to $7,500 a year. Supreme court judges are boosted from $4,500 to $7,500. Other state officers who now draw from $2,000 to 3.000 apiece, are elevated to $5,000. Railway commis sioners now get $3,000, the auditor and treasurer $2,500 and other state officers $2,000. The district judges go up from $3,000 to $5,000. The lieutenant governor will con tinue to receive twice the pay of state senators and representatives. The legislative salaries' amendment No. 7 on the ballot, raised the p;iy from $600 to $S00 per session. None of these increases will apply however, during the present terms of executives except on holdover rail way commissioner. Those elected this' year will draw the higher salaries when they commence the new term next January. In the case of supreme court judges, those who are to bo elected and those who hold over will draw the higher pay at the same time. This applies also to district judges. The term of state superintendent is lengthened from two to four years by the adoption of proposal No. 13, but it does not take effect un til 1923. A state tax commissioner is created by the approval of pro posal No. 14, to be appointed by the governor and wnose salary win oe fixed by the legislature. - LKGAI.
