FOR SCHOOL Of CITIZENSHIP
MILLER ACT ..ORDERED PLACED,
V ON GENERAL FILE.
Proposition to Enlarge Activities of
Three" Departments Survives Com
mittee Investigation arid Is
Now, tip to Senators.
j..
The Miller act requesting the uni
versity regents to establish n school
of, citizenship was yesterday reported
back to the state senate by the com
mittee to which it was referred sever
al days ago. It was ordered placed on
the general file of tho upper house of
the legislature and will bo takon up
in due time by that body.
.( Tho report of tho commlttoo cannot
be regarded as a forecast of tho action
-which may be taken on tho bill by
elthor tho senate or tho houso of rep
resentatives. It merely indicates that
the opposition to tho mcasuro was
jiot strong enough to prevent its be
ing considered in open discussion by
tho senators. Just what action tbby
may take upon it when it conies up for
final passage is problomctlcal.
8ome Opposition.
The action, of tho committee will"
result in transferring to the floor of
. tho. senate the wranglo that has boon
occupying considerable space in cer
tain newspapers of tho state over
since the bill was introduced by Sen
ator Miller. No sooner had tho bill
been read in tho senate than It was
vigorously attacked by the Omaha
.Bee as a. cloak for what tho Bee
designated a. "Bryan political factory."
Tho Bee feared that tho resolution
would result in forcing tho regents to
spend the money of tho state's tax-
mayors for the JTurtheranco of tho po
litical creed of William Jennings
.Bryan.
From day to day tho Bee has print
ed articles voicing tho opinions of
thoso 'opposed to tho bill. These seok
to show tbnt tho bill will givo Mr.
Bryan ah opportunity to spread dan
gerous democratic doctrines among
the young men and women of the
state. Following tho leadership of. tho
Jtosewater organ, other papers over
the state hayo taken the matter up
on one side; or. another and consider
able feeling has been displayed.
Not Bryan .Factory. '
The supporters of 'iho bill disclaim
the allegations of tljo'Beo, in, tho
whole and in overy part. They affirm
that the, intention of tho measure Is to
( provide a way jtq" ro-arrahgp , present
courses, In. the.departments !of political
I science, political economy, and Amer
ican history so that a symetrlcal and
well-rounded course" may be offered
wjiich will: tend to a general appreci
ation of the privileges and duties of
the citizen;, The course would lie one
' of, especial value to students intend
ing to enter service under the govorh-
v , " f r i
ment or any other phaso of public
life. ' . .,'":
In connection with the existing
courses there would ultimately bo a
series of addresses by public men on
, topics which would bo fitted into tho
.regular courses of tho .school, At
present the university is annually
, treateel to a- number of addresses by
public' men , at convocation, hour and
,at, other tjnics., Under the school of
citizenship" thosp cquld to a Jarg'o ox

course, and thus bo of much greater
