J. W. BURLEIGH. Ed. and Pab.
There were thirty-one women elect
ed county superintendents of schools
in Nebraska at the late election.
President Roosevelt signed the
papers on Monday admitting Okla
homa as the forty-sixth state in the
Union.
The gasoline motor car put on the
Northwestern road between Fremont
and York has been pulled off. Didn’t
prove a financial success.
It is claimed that within - the past
twenty years one million three hun
dred thousand divorces have been
granted in the United States.
An alleged swindler, selling a wire
stretcher, is working Nebraska. The
note for S3 which the farmer signs
turns up a short time later calling
for $300.
W. J. Bryan in his last week’s
Commoner breaks the silence and
says what everybody already knows,
that he is a candidate for Roosevelt’s
presidential shoes.
Charles T. Barney, president of the
late defunct Knickerbocker Trust
Co. of New York, committed suicide
last Friday. It is said matters will
come to light which makes it not
strange he (lid so.

A fine of $330,000 has been imposed
upon the Santa Fe road for rebating.
Yes, and twenty-nine millions of
dollars of a fine upon the Standard
Oil plutocrats. But has any one
heard of, or expected either to be
paid?
There is quite a howl about
nepotism in the state offices at Lin
coln. The land commissioner has his
wife hired as a clerk. The state
superintendent of instruction has
had his wife hired as a clerk in his
office, but has read the handwriting
on the wall and discharged her. The
secretary of state’s office is said to be
somewhat similarly situated, while
nepotism is said to exist even in the
governor’s office. Perhaps they go
under the Bible injunction that “A
man who provideth not for his own
is worse than an infidel,’’ or words to
that effect. But seriously, it would
seem that it is not the intent of the
voters to provide work and salaries
for the entire families in the election
of the heads to official position. Such
kind of record will not go a great
ways in returning those heads of
departments to their several places of
official honor.
Free High School Law.
The matter of providing high school
privileges to country pupils has been
a matter of interest to Nebraska edu
cators for a number of years. Up to
the present year three different laws
had been passed, two to be declared
unconstitutional and the third a dead
letter because it was too cumber
some to work. Meanwhile educators
pointed out that Nebraska should
have such a law because it was unfair
to make the country pupils pay
tuition for that four years’ of their
education, while city pupils received
it free. In the meantime the boys
and girls from the country crowded
into the high, schools until in many
places they formed a large per cent
and even a majority of the high school
enrollment. They showed their deter
mination to secure a high school
education without waiting for tardy
legislation to remove discriminations.
Last spring the legislature passed a
new law which educators and lawyers
believe will stand the test. In con
nection with this law there are four
points whicli are of interest to
parents andl pupils. In the first place
the pupil must obtain from the coun
ty superintendent a certificate show
ing that ho (or she) is prepared for
the grade of work which he (or she)
intends to take up in the high school.
As a rule the fitness of the pupil to
take up advanced work is determined
by examination. Most county super
intendents hold their examinations
in April or May, so the pupil wish
ing to enter high school should obtain
ms (or her) certificate at that time.
Next the parents must make applica
tion for the pupil to attend high
school. This, application must be
made on or before the second Mondav
in June and the neglect of the
parents means a loss of free high
school privileges for the ensuing year.
For those pupils who have made
application for free high stbool privi
leges special levies are made in the
the home districts. No money, how
ever, may be used by the district to
pay high school tuition unless it was
levied especially for that purpose and
all money remaining in the tuition
fund at the end of the year reverts
to the general fund. A fourth point
which may be of interest to some is
the fact that a pupil having free
tuition privileges may attend any
high school in the state which is on
the accredited list or on the approved
list of the University of Nebraska.
No high school may receive any of
this tuition money unless it is of
approved standard. In this connec
tion let me say that the Loup City
High School has inet all the require
ments of this law and that its grad
uates may enter the Freshman year
at the Univenity of Nebraska with
out examination.
To all tiiose who are to finish the
eighth grade in the country this year,
let me urge that you go to high
school. Ey that means you may
obtain training and culture, greater
mental power and a bettor apprecia
tion of things around you. If you
e*P«ct to go bo the higher schools it
wul be made the basis for such work.
This law was passed that you might
Irnve a bettor chance, so take the
chance. Banunro K. Did.
