She had applied for an in junction restraining the superintendent from revoking her certificate for not at tending the county institute, and the temporary injunction was made perpet ual, the judge holding that the amend ment to the original section of the statutes entitled disbursements, was not germane to the section. It reads, "The county superintendent may at his dis cretion revoke the certificate or refuse to grant a certificate to any teacher who refuses to attend the county institute." School authorities in Nebraska may well accept a hint from Michigan, where manual training is sought to be intro duced. There can be no longer any doubt among educators as to the value of manual training iu inculcating all the important mental traits accuracy, thoroughness, attention, discrimination, certainty, .celerity, sanity, memory, ver acity, as well as leading to a practical knowledge of all the physical condi tions and qualities. The old classifica tion of the three-fold nature of man still holds good, and the body is the present containant of all the individual powers and possibilities. Manual train ing may mean very much to all who rightly compass it Then these individuals, whose report must be taken with a grain of allowance gave other details of the street fair at Grand Island. They maintained that there was considerable rowdyism upon the streets; the throwing of confetti in the faces of people, and such unseemly conduct. It was also affirmed that the Midway was an aggregation of question able resorts, only one of which a woman would care to enter. Likewise there was but one booth upon the streets. Instead of the business houses putting out cred itable displays, the space along either side of the principal thoroughfare was occupied by striking machines knife racka, cane racks, roulette wheels and the like. Fremont Herald. The school board of Edinburgh are making a special effort to stop the prac tice of cigarette smoking by school boys. Some of the things they say might possibly be of value to American school boys, and among them are these statements: the practice prevents the healthy development of their bodies; sows the seeds of serious organic dis easecancer and heart disease being the worst; blunts mental faculties; ruins the morals of the boys; smoking by stealth leada to dishonesty, bad company, and other serious consequences. They close their appeal by the statement that with out the co-operation of the parents in this matter, all the efforts of the school board and the teachers will be of little effect in putting a stop to what threat ens to become a serious national evil Mr. and Mrs. Henry T. Spoerry re turned last Wednesday from their so journ in Europe, having been gone from here since May 28th. Their trip on the ocean was very pleasant both ways, 7 daya going and 6 days, 4 hours return ing. They were but two days at the Paris exposition, and Mr. Spoerry's opinion ia that it is not equal to the Chicago fair, one of the great reasons being that they have not the space. Mr. Spoerry had not been in Switzerland for 46 years. Then, there were only 18 miles of railroad in the entire country. Now all parts are supplied, tracks even up the steep sides of mountains in many places. There has been a wonderful improvement in ail the industries of Switzerland, the ratio notably great in lines other than agricultural. The American traveler ia in evidence every where this year, and shipowners are reaping a rich harvest. Going, Mr. and Mrs. Spoerry's fare was $125; returning jt was $140. m XXXXXXavOOQCXXSOOO Free Buggy !
