S. ' 'l'here is now pcnding before cOIlg"rcss a bill , which , if it Iasses , will affect profoundly thc entire Unitcd St3tcs and will also bc of particular moment to wcst rn Nebraska. This bill contemplates nothing less than the establishment over thc Unitcd StatcD of a scries of agricultural high schools and schools of mechanic arts and homc economics. Hon. Charles R Davis of St. Petcr , Minn. , introduced the bill in thc housc and if his mea urc becomes II a law his name .will be worthy of rank with that of Jamcs S. Merrill who was instrnmcntal in cstablishing the agricultural I collcges that we have today. Purged of lcgal phrascs , the bill providcs for the annual appropriation of a sum of money equivalent to ten cents pcr capitia which would amount in rou\1d nUt bers to $8,000,000. The bill provides that thc states shall provhle othcr tunds to pay the : : est of the ncccssary lands and buldings and of 'instruction in all general studies required to makc well.roundcd high school courses of study. It furthcr pr"- vidcs that at least half of the mOtlcy shall bc ex'pended for instruction in agricultural and homc cconomics in rural communities - munities but that the numbcl'ef such agricultural higl1 schools shall not excced enc for cach tcn countics in a state. Thc bill contemplates not only agricultural high schools : in the country but high schools in the d tics where mcchanic arts and homc cconomics shall bc taught. 'l'he agricultural high schoois may be establish cd in connection with high schools already in existence - istence , thc statc having to pro. dde mcrely thc additional site and buildings for tIle agricultural portion of thc work. Section two of thc bill providcs for the appropriation of $2,500 , anllually for cach branch cx- ! pcriment stati n alrcady estab- : l1shed and for others which may ti bc establishcd , provided that the . statc furnished the site and : appropriatcs a lilee amount. ! 'l'he rcmainder of thc bill i provides for the transfcr of thc : mone ) ' , for thc proper accounting ! for it and for thc report to bc . . i issucd. : While many bills in congrcss i fall by thc waysidc , yet it is i quitc probable that this will pass and presumably at thc pre ent i : session. Thetimes arc favorable : for legislation of this kind.

With thcse industrial - dustrial high schools , it is believcd that a much larger number - ber of studcnts will be reacl d than is possible , at the prcscnt tilJe. ! . 'l'he public.spirited citi1.cns of Ncbraska , who bclieve in thc provisions of this bill , . should do what is possible to aid in the passage of the mcasure. Aid can bc rcndercd in many ways.
