Services Higher Than
Last Year.
Tim school district levy of 11.6 mills
for the ensuing year was approved
by the Board of Education at a spe
cial meeting yesterday. This Is a re
duction of one-half mill over the last
district levy.
Applied to a valuation of $326,906,
9J8, this new levy will yield $3,646,
'■ 4r>. according to a board estimate.
< >th-r sources of revenue, also esti
mated, plus the tax revenue, will yield
a probable total of $3,826,145 for the
iiext fiscal school year.
The new budget for Instructional
■ rvice, including salaries of teachers,
principals and supervisors, shows a
total of $2,599,680 against a total of
>2.516,943 for last year.
.\n increase of $8,000 for new text
books is shown in the new budget.
Expenditures for the new school
ear is shown as $4,069,240, as against
>3,985,238 for the closing school year.
The increase, it is claimed, will be
l iken up by the balance, which is
■ arried over. The cost of operating
* he school district for the next fiscal
year will be $100,000 higher than the
last school year, although the levy is
half a mill less and the valuation
$11,000,000 higher.
The school board also authorised
the sale of $1,500,000 short-term notes
to carry the school district over until
the taxes are received next year.
Columbus Voters Divided

special Dispatch to The Omaha Dec.
Columbus. Neb., July 30.—Bitter
strife attends the special city election
to be held in Columbus Tuesday In
which the voters are asked to decide
if the city shall Issue $75,000 in bonds
for the erection of a new city hall or
continue to pay $125 a month rental
on the building now occupied by the
city offices, fire and police depart
ment.
The city Is divided into two factions
separated by the railroad yards. The
south side or older part of the town
is expending money freely to com
bat the move while the north side of
the city which includes the retail and
wealthier residence section favors the
erection of a city hall rather than to
continue paying rent on private prop
erty.

Brownell Hall
Adopts Courses
Lyceum Numbers to Be Part
of Curriculum Coming
Year.
The bo .rd of trustees ot Brownell
hall last week adopted a resolution
making a part of the school’s course
for boarding pupils all concerts, lec
tures, art exhibitions and plays given
under the auspices of the Tuesday
Musical club, the Omaha Fine Arts
society and the Drama league.
The trustees authorized the prin
cipal, Dora Dee Newman, to reserve
blocks of tickets with all these or
ganizations of sufficient size to ac
commodate all boarding pupils of the
school. The plan is to have the
Brownell Hall students attend these
functions In a body, chaperoned by a
member of the faculty.
The trustees said they could not
make this policy apply to day pupils
because of the fact that they live at
home and are not under supervision
of the school authorities except dur
ing school hours.
Brownell Hall will open this year
on October 15, a month later than
usual because the school does not
get possession of its new property,
the Happy Hollow club house and
grounds, until October 1.
School Head Emphasizes
Importance of Education
Volumes have been written about
the Importance of an education, yet
too many young men and women
fail to heed the advice and counsel
of those who have succeeded, and
they forsake educational advantages
for immediate gain. Sad, Indeed, is
the plight of the boy or girl who be
gin* to advance toward success, only
to find the way blocked by lack of
education.

Business Men Are (.ailing
for More Proficient Help j
"The demand for Qur graduates is
a great source of satisfaction to the
faculty and management," aay* Prof.
J. A. Youngstrom of the American
College of Business. 1912 Farnam
street.
"The expansion and Improvement
in every line of business In Omaha
requires more office assistants and
is keeping the demand for our book
keepers, stenographers, secretaries
and comptometer operators contlnu
ous. That there are a great many
people out of employment is true,
but seldom a week goes by but we
have two or three calls for gradu
ates. and consequently every qualified
student from the American college
is enjoying pleasant office employ
ment.”
There Is, however, he says, consid
erable difference In the calls now and
a couple of years ago. Business men
are demanding that their office as
sistants be thoroughly proficient, and
almost every call, whether it is for
a young man or young woman, re
quests someone who has a knowledge
of more than one thing, i. e., someone
that can do both bookkeeping and
shorthand, and frequently they want
someone who understands not only
bookkeeping and stenography, but
also the comptometer or calculating
machines.
