The mealing of Nebraska teachers at
Lincoln waever/ largely attended and
great Interest In the matter of educa
tion manifested In the neighborhood
of twelve hundred instructors were
present, thus eclipsing any former at
tendance On the last day of the **s
slon the reportof the Educational < otin
cil was read by I’resident I’carae ut the
Omaha schools. The report of this
body is always looked upon an the im
por tant, part of the annual meeting,
and this year It was especially Inter
rating, 1t dealt with the work of the
legislative committee largely, and
briefly reviewed the operation of the
free high school attendance law, the
free text book law and the reportof
County (Superintendent liner rtf Lancas
ter on the “Country (Schools," and the
problem of supplying teachers fitted
for work.
The report of the committee on high
schools, which had charge of the prob
lem of the high school course study,
was touched upou, and the fact that it
had been re-referred was mentioned.
The free text book law of Nebraska
has come to be looked upon as n mod' I
of its kind, and the fact that, several
states are commending its features

Uj he the worst in Ihc state, and many
of the most enterprising even go be
yond the requirements of tlie statute,
and furnisu free of charge as a part of
the necessaries, articles wbieli are not
provided for in the law,
'I he report, also went into the subject
of needed legislation, and on the point
of whsi had t een attempted and not
obtained in tins matter hud this Ur say:
••Among fh« measures very generally
deemed of considei able importance that
failed to become laws at the last se«
sum was a bill providing for several
changes in the details of organization
and administration of schools In the
different classes of cities and a hill to
provide for a state board of education;
and while these important measures
failed Ur become laws your committee
on legislation reallzeu that progress in
educational legislation, as in other
lines, is necessarily slow, that many
timea we moat wait for those things
which are good; that i» a Jilt.* prog
ress Ire mude each year or two years
we shall gradually work into the en
joyment of those Improvement* that
seem desirable.
i "Pro Ira by the most important trill
presented Ur lire last legislature with
reference to echrrol mailers which failed
Ur become a law was that providing for
compulsory attendance at school of all
children within the atate. It Is uni
versally recognized that the present,
so-called compulsory attendance law is
Y not a compulsory attendance law. No
penalty for non-compliance with its
provisions has ever been Inflicted under
thisluw. and it does not in anyway
answer the purposes of the state in se
curing the attendance of all Its chil
dren in the schools.
••The bill drafted and presented to
the legislature was an exceedingly
moderate one, and there was no
thought on the port, of those engaged
in its preparation and presentation that
any reasonable citizen of the staU
eould find objection to it it provided,
briefly, a definite time when tiie attend
ance required of all children between
the agea of 8 and If should begin, and
did not leave it to the discretion or
caprice of the parent as U> whether the
attendance should begin with I lie- be
ginning of school or whether it should

moment in the yeur. it provided that
it should tie the business of some pur
ticnlnr person in each school district in
ascertain whether or mil children of
the upe contemplated by the law wore
in attendance upon school; if they were
not. wny they were not. and in discs
where it seemed necessary to hcirin
prosecution under the law of parents
or iruardhtiiH willfully or unreasonably
nepleolinp to comply with its provi

a “it provided further that each child
should attend during the time required
by the law ut some school in which lie
should leurn to read and to write in the
Knpliah tonput. It was not required
that tie should study peoffrephy and
arithmetic or history in Knpiuiit, but

There is more than one food
which will cause the body to
increase in weight. A free
supply of sugar will do this;
so will the starchy foods;
cream, and some other fats.
But to become fleshy, and yet
remain In poor health, Is not
what you want. Cod-liver oil
increases the weight because
i It is a fat-producing food. But
it does far more than this. It
alters, or changes, the pro
cesses of nutrition, restoring
the normal functions of the
various organs and tissues.
SettR6flvulsioru
of Cod-liver Oil, with hypo
phosphites, Is pure cod-liver
in a digested condition. So
that, when a person gains in
weight from taking Scott's
Emulsion, it Is because of two
things: First, the oil has
acted as a fat-producing food;
and, second, it has restored
to the body a healthy condi
tion. Such an Improvement
is permanent: it comes to stay.
