To thi Voters of the School District of Nor folk : There seems to be some mlsun derstandlng iu the minds of some o ; the Norfolk voters as to our purposi iu asking for nn Issue of school bonds just now. The statement has beet made that our motive lu asking foi these bonds Is to defeat the bonds foi ti municipal lighting plant , should tin latter be voted upon this spring. It is only fair to the public to staU that the board of education has no now , nor have they had any intentloi of mingling In the controversy eve : the lighting of the city. We wish t < make it clear to the public that tin school bonds now asked for have beci contemplated by the board of educa tlou for long over a year long befon the municipal lighting plant hccnmi an active issue in city politics. Wi fully realized a year ago last Octobe or November that If the same rate o Increase in the population of the Gran school district continued for auothe year we would be compelled to bulh this coming summer. The recent die covery. too , that the East Lincoli school building is In a dangerous con dition has made it necessary to asl for the amount named in the offlcia notice , $25,000. It is. therefore , not i matter of politics , but a matter o sheer necessity in providing for Noi folk's greatest business interest it children that has compelled us ti ask you , the voters , for these bonds. It is entirely within your hands ti determine what Norfolk's school pol icy shall be. The board will be go\ orncd entirely by what you wish. I you , the voters , desire that Norfoll shall adopt in her school system : policy that is non-progressive ; a po icy that will keep our schools at : standstill while our neighboring schoc systems move forward ; a policy tha will keep the rising generation of Noi folk's young men and women fron making the Norfolk of the future al she should be , then these bonds shoul be defeated. The defeat of thcs bonds will do just these tilings. The defeat of the bonds will meat too. in the immediate future , the fo lowing very bad conditions : 1. It will mean the continuance c half-day sessions in the kindergarten anil first grades. 2. H will mean that dozens of on boys and girls will have to go witlion proper instruction and attention froi the teachers ; for where so many c our teachers have from forty-live t fifty-five pupils in the rooms it is in possible to give the thorough instrm tlou that should be given , especial ! to the weaker pupils. . ' ! . It will mean that many littl children will have to continue to crot ailroad tracks , and go long distance o attend in districts Where they cl ot live. 4. It will mean that 200 of our boj ml girls will continue to be crowdc ute a dangerous firetrap which ougl o be abandoned , even now. This o invite disaster , and disaster to No oik's most prci'.ous asset , her chi " 'HI. Voters of NorlolK. this matter res ntirely with you. These schools ar hese children are yours. Do you wise o crowd them into a building in whis ou would not think of conducting jusiness ? Do you wish to have the rained less carefully than you wou ook after your own financial intc sts ? Or do you wish their future > e safeguarded and well provided fi n a modern and well organized scho system ? You will largely make < nar the future of Norfolk in the w ; ou decide this question. To answ n one way means the best busine nvestment Norfolk can make and tl jest guarantee of her future. To a swer It in the other means the halt jrogress and the sure results of short-sighted business policy. The I t ture of Norfolk's schools and of N ( folk is in your hands. Let your vet ell your decision. Respectfully yours. A. H. Viele , Prea. s S. G. Dean. V. Pies. ' A. Degner. C. S. Bridge. ir John Welch. Fred M. Hunter , Supt , AMERICANS NOT EXECUTED.

While much has not been heard from the United States on the subject , much discussion has been going on in London during the past week or so over the plan pro posed by certain German patriotic so cieties to keep a hold on the kaiser's emigrants. Tlu Pan-German league and the German Nationality associa tion , Impressed by the fatherland's enormous annual loss of citizens , will ask for an amendment of the existing law under which German citizenship ends after ten years after emigration unless the emigrants register at the nearest consulate. So strictly do these societies want the laws revised , that not only will a native German not lose Ills citizenship after ten years , but even when he becomes naturalized in another country , that naturalization will hold only as long as he is in the land of his adoption. When he re turns to Germany , lie will be a citizen in full. England would lose a large number of good citizens under such a law. as well as would the United States. It Is probable that the more fre quent appearance in public of the de posed King Manual of Portugal has had something to do with the reports that a revolution is impending in Portugal tugal with a view of replacing Manuel on the throne. Political students re cently returning from Lisbon state , however , that a revolution is not likely - ly , pointing out the satisfaction of the people with present conditions as the reason for their assertions. A general election has been arranged for next mouth , and although serious problems arc yet to bo considered , the people aw a whole are contented and confident that everything will \\ork out all right. From Rome there comes a great many expressions of dissatisfaction over the decision of the kaiser of Ger many not to go to Italy during the national celebrations this spring , butte to entrust thi ; representation of Germany - many to the crown prince , on his re turn from the orient. The press ol Italy lias been eagerly discussing the expected visit of the kaiser , and hnd published many interviews with pub' He men on its significance. It would have been regarded as a useful recog nition of the vitality of the triple al liance , as well as a tribute to united Italy. It is believed that the attitude of the Vatican has largely entered intr the kaiser's change of plans , since the pope has announced that lie will nol receive any sovereign who visits Rome and the king of Italy durlnc the na tional festivities. Merlin's suffragettes are trying an other line of campaign on lines en tirely opposite those of their Britisl colleagues. They have resolved U convert the male intellect , appealing with soft blandishment to the mal < heart. Instead of smashing windows and insulting ministers , they don theii smartest gowns , make themselves as attractive as possible and invite tin unconverted men to their political tej in pleasantly decorated salons , when soft music assists the subtle suffragis arguments. Cynics call it conversioi without scratches , but it seems to bi working like a charm. Many of tin most prominent members of the reicb stag , as well as other politics , ar < to be found at these political teas , am many unsuspecting men are reportei to have been converted without not ing the painful process. What to do with German youths 1 : the critical period between the ages o 1-1 and 20 , when army training begins : is a problem which social reformer in that country arc now studying. Th Prussian government has planned a : ambitious scheme of "judgenpfledge , or care of the young , which consist mainly in organizing committees i every district for supplying secula education , recreation , sport and r ( liglous moral teaching. The mov < incut is to be entirely voluntary o the part of the local organizers an the youths themselves. The functio of the jndgeulledge is to work towar the creation of a joyful , physically e ficient , morally excellent youth , fille with sense of solidarity , fear of Go and love for the home and the fathe land , according to the circular jui sent out by the ministry.
