Church School ^ Training Urged at Conference Plan to Have Public Schools Dismissed for Periods of Religious Instruction Is Suggested. "In more than 100 cities in JO states lcliool boards have made it possible for the child, upon request of the par' outs, to be excused to attend a school of religious instruction," declared Ed ward Sargent yesterday morning in discussing the extension of the church school. "The movement is gaining headway from coast to coast.” Mr. Sargent Is of the opinion, os are many other religious workers, lhat the child does not come Into con tact with enough religious and moral things by attending only Sunday school. "It is not a movement of any one church or a single denomination,” he declared. He pleaded for the support of all • reeds in the movement for securing the co-operation of the home, public school and the church. "The best time to impress youth with things sa cred and religious is between the first and eighth grades,” he stated. 1-oae Faith at School. Rev. Paul Mieou, in speaking on "Work Among Students,” said many , young men and women strayed from home religious training when they ^vent away from school. "They become affiliated with col lege organizations such as fraterni? ties and clubs, and forget their home religion,” he said. R"v. Mr. Mieou and Miss Agnes M. Hall have worked among students in universities and colleges for a number of years, finding out the religious affiliations of the boys and girls at home and attempting to keep them anchored while they are in school. Rev. Mr. Mieou has written a book on religion and school life.

"We do not properly care for our rural clergymen. They are also starved mentally and aocially,'* said Rev. Sutter. State Conditions Discussed Conditions of the clergy in west ern Nebraska were commented on in the "the official minutes” para graph icaily.

Belle wns quite a big girl, past 12. and full of the visions of 20. She loves to dress up and nobody's ward robe was safe. Hats and ties from iter brothers’ stores and anything at all from her sisters' and mother. No amount of scolding or scorn ing seemed to check her mad riot ing in borrowed plumage. Nothing was too much, nothing lncongrous, to her acquisitive mind. The family began to look up in sheer self-de fense. One noon time she reached home to discover that the house was hers. A note told her where to find her lunch eon and what to do after school: *'\Ve will all he home before dinner time. Do what you can to get things ready and help us as much as you can." "Must have been in a great hurry,” mused Belie. “Everything Is scattered about. And all the drawers and boxes and things are wide open. How care less. Burglars might come any min ute. I’ll put a few away now before 1 go back to school." But her dressing up notion pos sessed her at sight of all the finery. That black velvet gown! Just the thing for a start. A little loose in spots and a bit longer than they were wearing them. But still — That lovely lace scarf would be just the touch. Oorgeous things these green satin slippers. A bit of cotton in the toes and they'd fit perfectly. Lovely high heels, a piece of ribbon tied about the ankles would keep them on better. Jewels! 'One must have Jewels. Chains and strings of heads. One could wear a good many if one put long ones on as well as short ones. They could be knotted about the wrists, too, for bracelets. The ends dangled beau tifully. ‘ O-o-o: rings! Taken altogether the family hail quite a many. Each finger could carry some. The big green one would do for the thumb. Emeralds were mo atyliish. Now this big black hat. With a plums or two tied on. »nd a hunch of fjpwers to give color, It would look like something, llm! Pretty stylish. “Wouldn’t the girls he crazy if they saw me now? I’m going over and call on Mrs. Withers. She’s the most ‘‘ex clusive’’ friend my mother has. She will appreciate my costume. Just a little perfume, though. I like them all." and she doused herself gener ously, and strolled down the street to the colonial house among the pine trees. When tier family arrived that eve ning they were started by the dark ness and the stlllneas. No Belle. A hasty examination gave the, impres sion that burglars had visited them. “Quick, the telephone. Caddy! Belle' Police.’’ But the telephone shrilled liefore they hud reached It and Mrs With ers’ well modulated voice said. "I have Belle. Won't you come right over? Shea all right, hilt I thought I'd kfep her until you cams home. There sat the very wilted prisoner, decked In velvet ami green slippers and Jewels galore, weeping copiously. “I made hsr stay Just ns sha was. I wanted you to see that 1 had good reason. But I think she’s been pun ished enough." "1 even haven't had nnv lunch," •oblred Belle. Tbs family think their wardrobes are safe for some time to come. 1 l Copy right, l > 2 3. > PROGRAM SCHEDULE WO AW Woodmen of the World, Omaha (MO-meter wave length.) 9 TO 10:30 NIGHTLY KATIRBAV, Al'KII, 14.

Solons Recall Past Sessions Legislative League Banquet at Lincoln Attended by 200 Members. Npts'lul IiLpstrh to The Oimtlia lire. Lincoln, April 13.—Two hundred former members ’ or the legislature from the four corners of the state j met here last night at the annual ban quet of the Nebraska Legislative league to renew acquaintances and swap reminiscences of bygone ses sions. The two oldest former members in point of service were Edwin Jeary of Lincoln and William Corbin of John eon county. Jeary is father of Clark Jeary, who served in the lower house two years ago. The elder Jeary was a member of the legislature in 1885. Howard Not Present. James A. Hodman of Omaha, presi dent, was toastmaster. There was genuine regret expressed that Con gressman Edgar Howard, one of the j scheduled speakers, was unable to be j present. Former State Senator John , M. Tanner of Omaha, filled the con gressman’s place on the program. Governor Charles W. Bryan was the first speaker. The governor re frained, as did all other speakers, from mentioning the present bitter fight in progress in the legislature, | excepting to allude to it in a jocular vein. He asserted that he believed | the new capitol was being erected as cheaply as possible to insure good workmanship and good materials nec essary for a monumental structure. .Speaker A. N. Mathers read a paper on "Demugogue in Polities.” He de scribed a demogogue as a man who played to passions and prejudices of people and one who made false and misleading promises to the public. Veteran Describes “Pest.” "Doc" Tanner, veteran of five ses- ; sions, described the "legislative pest." | "Such a man is one who makes u funny or sharp remark or two which - are caught and heralded by the news- j papers, and he mistakes the applause of an amused public us an apprecia tion of worth," he said. "From then on he Is on the floor continually filled with egotism, and it is no wonder sensible members are driven to drink." i Other speakers were Congressman Bob Simmons, former Congressman Charles II.
