TWENTY SECOND YEAR
They Were Shown the Country
Regents E vonPorell and 0 E Cal
kins of tho Nebraska university while
visiting various parts of the state look
ing up a location for an experimental
station wore in McCook and vicinity
Tuosday on a similar mission
Mayor Eldred and a party of McCook
citizens devoted tho day to driving tho
gentlemen over suitable locations within
a few miles of tho city locations con
taining considerable body of land capa
ble of being irrigated and with a large
body of land adjoining suitable for dry
land experiments pastuntgo and many
experiments and demonstrations which
will bo made by tho station wherever it
is established
In due timo it is proposed to make tho
regents a detailed and specific offer as
contemplated by the recent legislative
net providing for such experiment sta
tion
Thk Tribune need make no statement
of tho possiblo advantages of such a
station to Southwestern Nebraska They
aro too evident to all intelligent and
thoughtful citizens Each year more in
telligent and scientific effort is being put
into tho matter of agriculturo by all tho
stato and general governments Ne
braska will not bo behind in tho great
and eminently sensible movement being
pre ominontly an agricultural and stock
raising commonwealth Hence these ex
periment stations must of absolute ne
cessity bo governmental establishments
of growing importance and ultimately of
supreme value to the state
The regents were plainly impressed
with tho country and the attractions of
the samo for the purpose contemplated
in tho law and favorable action on tho
proposition to be submitted to them at
their next meeting need cause no sur
prise
Western Nebraska is destined to pro
gress and to become more and nioroca
factor in tho agricultural and stock
raising business of the state The es
tablishment of an experiment station in
this section would be a largo saving to
the farmers and stockmen in means and
labor otherwise misdirected or dissipated
in personal experiment
The Tribune offers the plea of South
western Nebraska as beiug preeminently
the place for the location of tho experi
ment station

tact with one another and
Whereas We feel that the schools of

Resolved That wo adopt the follow
ing resolutions and endeavor to carry
the inspiration we have received into the
schools represented where we may im
part the same to the youth of Southwes
tern Nebraska
Resolved That we commend State
Supt W K Fowler and Deputy J L
McBrien for their influence in establish
ing these junior normal schools and mak
ing it possible for us to receive almost
at home instructions in professional
fields that we appreciate the untiring
efforts of Supt G H Thomas and the
citizens of McCook for the many kind
nesses they have shown that we appre
ciate the efforts of the instructors lec
turers speakers and all who have assist
ed in making this institution a success

ciples of Christian education and the
difficult and ceaseless labor devolving
upon every person entering the strenuous
life of a teacher

shall put forth every effort to place our
selves upon the highest plane of educa
tional workers that we may approach

elements of a strong education second
in teaching them the worth and meaning
of honesty integrity uprightness and
courtesy in all their associations with
playmates schoolmates teachers and
parents third that we inculcate into
their lives the true essence of patriotic
citizenship fourth that we believe in
the intense value of highest education
and that we shall encourage in every
possible manner the pupils in our charge
to pursue their education to the utmost
limit We believe further that every
true teacher should pursue his or her
work earnestly and systematically that
he or she should spend at least one hour
each day in study of approved educa
tional magazines and standard pedagog
ical works that he or she should also
spend a few hours each week in culture
study We also believe that no teacher
can afford to teach without making a
most thorough preparation for his or her
I daily work
