GROOMING THE. ASSESSORS
An Improvement in Their Work is
Sought.
WILL HAVE A CONFERENCE TUESDAY
HOMK * , Important 1'olntn Heretofore
> > y Them Arc Culled to
Tlielr Attention Cuiuplluiico
\ltl > tin * LunUr e'il.
In the letter sent out by the county clerk ,
notifying the Douglatt county precinct atv
sesbora ot the mooting Tuesday , ho says ;
"Tho flnancea of the county are In such a
condition as to Justify mo In saying that
" * the assessor ! ) this yiar must take some
united action , as contemplated by. the
pttUuto , In order to Increase the 'total as-
vested valuation of Douglas county. Com
pared with 1S92 , there was a shrinkage In
the 189D return of real estate amounting
to $2,510,010.70 , and of personal property of
$720,325,74 , making a total reduction In the
asiicased valuation of the county , as returned
by the assessors , ot $3,236,830,41 for 1S95.
Tlioro Is a deflclt already In the present
year's levy for the geneial fund , and It Is
a fair estimate to say that unless the total
ABsesumcnt la radically Increased there will
bo a shcrtage for 1890 levy amounting to
$40,000 or $50,000 for general purposes. "
Kudosed In this letter Is the circular of
general Instructions referred to , which con
tains detailed Instructions regarding a num
ber of points which might befog the brain
of the a8oa < x > r unless elucidated. Among
the most Important points thus brought
to the attention ot the assessors are the fol
lowing :
"I wish to call your attention particularly
to section 32 of the revenue act , relating
to the assessment of corporations , and the
bhnlt provided for this purpose. This law
lias been entirely Ignored by assessors In
the past. The returns for each corporation
must be made upcn two blanks , one for the
capital utock and other Items of credit , and
ono ( the schedule of personal property ) for
the listing of all personal property owned
by such corporation ) other than capital stock
BP < 1 credits. No effort should be spared to
isecure a complete , honest , and equitable
assessment ot all corporations. The present
financial depression Justifies tha public In
claiming your earnest co-operation In bring
ing about the above rcailt.
"Another important chas of personal prop
erty that has been uniformly ucglected 1s
franchise ? , both public and private. You
vlll note that under the law thete are tax
able and etuuld be listed and valued as per
sonal property ,
* "No oao practice afford * greater anuoyanco
* . i
than that of assessors changing personal
property schedules as made by owners with
out notice. Sections 2X and S4 of the revenue
law define your duty with respect to the per
sonal assessments quite clearly. But to
avoid confusion , I would suggest that shoulc
you decldo to change any return made by
owners , that you draw a single line in red
Ink through the figures furnished you and
enter your own valuation In red Ink above
or below. I have prepared a blank to bo
sent owners In all such cases.
"You will please bo careful In assessing
the property contained In what are knowr
as 'department stores' to return the different
stocks In the names of the parties owning
the same. It Is not > sufficient to take a
return In a lump amount In the name of
the house or firm toy which the store Is
known. Every owner is required to list
his personal property , no matter where lo
cated In the county.
"I call your special attention to a portion
of section 7 , chapter 77 , article 1 , of the
revenue law , for the reason that It has
been heretofore Ignored by assessors ;
" ! . Every person Of full age and sound
mind , being a resident of this state , shall
list all his moneys , credits , bonds or stocks ,
chares of stock In Joint or other companies
( when the capital stock of such company
Is not assessed In this state ) , moneys loaned
or Invested , annuities , franchises , royalties
and other personal property. ' ,
" 'S. He shall alto list all moneys and
other personal property Invested , loaned or
otherwise controlled by him as the agent
or attorney or on account of any other per
son or persons , body corporate or politic ,
whether In or out of the county,1 etc.
"U Is a remarkable fact that lu a county
having a population approximating 175,000
people , largely engaged In commercial pur
suits , that scarcely a dollar Is returned for
taxation as 'moneys , ' and that the other
Items which como within the above law
have been entirely overlooked by the as
sessors. The amount of money loaned on
real estate mortgages In the county Is many
millions , while the chattel mortgage and
Judgment records disclose an additional
amount that has wholly escaped ,
"Tho jaw Is sweeping , and It Is not for
tbo 833csa : > r to question Its wisdom. Every
assessor takes an oath to perform Ills duty ,
and you are empowered to place every prop
erty owner under oath to make a full state
ment of his personal property. As to the
rate at which property ot this kind should
bo assessed , you are the Judge ; but It It
'
'was listed at 10 per cent U would go that
far to equalize the burdens of taxation be
tween those -who Invest their money In
property that can be' seen and which con
tributes to the substantial Improvement of
our county end furnishes employment to
our people , and those who have heretofore
largely e&uped paying taxes on their pos
sessions.
"You will return to roe separate and apart
from your tegular 'schedule of personal
property , ' a lltt of any personal property
you may tlnd In your precinct owned by
perrons residing In other wards or precincts
ot tbla county. "

to lie In the Emit . . .
Prof. Homer P. Lewis , principal of the
High echqol , .will leave Omaha at an early
date to accept the position of principal of the
English High echool of Worcester , Mass.
About a fortnight ago the Board of Educa
tion of that city sent for Prof. Lewis , and he
made a trip there , carefully looking over the
field. As announced In yesterday's Bee , at
a meeting of the board held on Saturday
night he was chosen to flit the vacancy.
When asked whether ho would accept the
offer Prof. Lewis replied that ho certainly
should. Ho said that the ochools of Wor
cester ranked very high , and added that ho
considered the English High school of that
city a most superior school. It has about
900 pupils , while the Latin High school -at the
city haa somewhat over 700 pupils enrolled.
There Is also a manual training school , as Is
required by the echool laws 'of Massachu
setts In cities having over a. certain number
of Inhabitants.
"It's rather a strange coincidence , " re
marked Prof. Lewis , "that the three promo
tions that I have received since leaving college -
lego have all been changes to schools with
smaller enrollments , but with larger salaries
attached to the position of principal. "
"I haven't decided Just when I shall go to
Worcester. TCio position has been vacant forever
over a month , and It Is probable that the
Board of Education there will want mo to
como as soon as possible. Our winter term
hero closes March 27 , and I suppose that my
connection with the High school will end at
that time. I think It la not difficult to see
why I should go. I have wanted to bo In
the cast for some time. Now that I have
had a better position offered me , It's not
strange Uliat I should accept It. "
The assistant principal of the High school
Is Prof. Irwln Levlston. He has been con
nected with the rehool for a number of years
and has filled his position with satlsfactlo
to all concerned ! It la probable that h
will be promoted to the vacancy caused by th
resignation of Prof. Lewis. He will hav
charge of the school until the clew ? of th
school year at least.
COIAIMUIA'S PROGRESS.
Important Eilucntlomil Ailvniices n
New York' Grout Collcuri' .
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler , writing I
Harper's Weekly , reviews at length th
recent educational advances made by Colum
bla college. Dr. Butler says these better
merits , three In number , "are of Importanc
to the country at large , for they Indlcat
clearly how an old and conservative founda
tlon like Columbia Is affected by modern
educational movements that are world-wld
In their significance. "
"Tho first step , " says the writer , "Is noth
Ing less than the passage of a declaratory
resolution by the trustees of Columbia college
lego authorizing the use of the name Colum
bla university for the Institution as a whole
and designating as Columbia college tin
historic undergraduate department , foundet
In 1754 , that has been known for same year
past by the unfortunate and misleading
title School of Arts. No change Is made , o
will be asked for , in the corporate or lega
name , which remains as before The Trus
tees of Columbia College In the City oj Now
York. * * * ' , ,
"Columbia' became eometh'ng moro than
a college In 1868 , when a school of law wa
established , but it did not begin to lay tin
foundations of a true university until 1880
when a graduate department for advanced
study and research was opened. The school
of political science (18SO ( ) , philosophy (1890) )
and pure science (1892) three subdivision ,
of the former graduate department were
the beginnings of an organized university
life. The schools of law (1858) ( ) , mines (1864) ( )
and medicine (1891) ( ) , and the teachers' col
lege (1893) ( ) , have standards of admission tlm
are as yet too low to entitle them to rani
as fully developed university departments or
schools , although they are frequented by
many students of university rank. But In
Its graduate department Columbia has at
traded to Itself , for advanced study and
research , several hundred men and women
annually who are already graduates of col
leges , and who have no Immediate technlca
or professional end In view. It is obvious
that these are university students , even In
the strictest German sanse of the word. Lit
tie by little the standards of admission to the
technical and profesalonaf schools are being
raised , and "doubtless before many more
years have elapsed the schools of law , mines
medicine , and the teachers' .college will be
put upon a truly university basis by the ex
elusion of all students who have not hai
a college training or Its equivalent. It wll
therefore be seen that If Columbia Is not ai
present In all of Hi parts technically a unl
verelty , It has at least become such In a
large measure.
"The second step of Importance to which
reference has been made Is the action of the
university council of Columbia In throwing
open the higher or university degrees o
master of arts and doctor of philosophy 19
men trained In scientific courses and tech
nical schools. To ono who Is familiar will
the narrow foundation for higher training
that Is Insisted upon In England , and In
part In Germany , this may appear a radical
step , but In reality It Is merely-accepting
ono of the Inevitable conclusions from the
conditions of modern civilization and modern
academic life. It Is Impossible , as well as
wholly undesirable , to Insist any longer upon
confining the highest academic opportunities
to men trained In but a single school oi
thought. To attempt.this In America woulc
bo to alienate popular support from the uni
versities and to cripple their usefulness.
They would become the schools not of the
people , but of a class. Columbia has hon-
jred Itself In recognizing * gracefully , end
jy the unanimous vote of Its university
council , the fact that In these closing year ?
of the nineteenth century there are more
tlnds of liberal education and scientific traln-
ng than cne , and that these should all bo
> ut upon the same plane by the .univer
sity. *
"The third and most recent step In the
iletory If Columbia to which public atten
tion has been directed Is the adoption of
an entirely new course of study for the
undergraduate deportment or the college ,
as It Is hereafter to be known. The tradi
tional English and American course of study ,
with required Greek and much prescribed
work , has outlived Us usefulness. . Modern
isychology and modern educational science
mve demonstrated Its Insufficiency , Thomas
Feftcrson at the University of Virginia , and
brands Wayland at Brown university , were
he forerunners of reform , but the man who
Irst organized broader and freer courses of
study , and who recognized fully their social
ind economic as well as their educational
significance , was President Eliot of Harvard ,
he most powerful constructive force In the
vholo history of higher education. The
ate President Barnard of Columbia , wth |
its keen educational Insight , threw himself
\armly Into the struggle for new and more
jenerouB courses of study at the college
hat he loved and served , but the time was
lot yet ripe. Nevertheless , It Is the movc-
nent Initiated by him In 18SO that has just
jorne fruit. Through all these years the
iroblem has been under more or less formal
onstderatlon , and developments elsewhere
iavo been closely scrutinized. As a result
here will go Into effect at Columbia In 1897 ,
\lth no dissenting votes recorded against
t In any governing board , on undergraduate
ourse of study that has been framed upon
ouncl educational principles , and with full
inowledge of the conditions surrounding
Uglier education In the United States. It Is
courcc of study that rests upon the high
chools and academies , and ono that any
\ell-tralned boy or girl can be prepared to
nter upon In his or her seventeenth year ,
The policy of Columbia college Is not to
also the standard of admlsa'on requirements
a any way that will Increase the average
ge of college students. By the time that
o Is 21 the young man who looks forward
o a business career can have been gradu-i
ated from Columbia , , and may take up hi
life work a II tie rally * educated man. HI
fellow , who looks ifofwnrd to a profession ) !
career In law , mtdlctae , teaching or tech
nology , will find ttimkelf at the same ftp
one-quarter or onb-thlrd way through h'
thorough profeasltfmli course. To enabl
young men to accomplish this Is a grca
service In Itself , anil one that will hcl
greatly to popular-fee a college education , "
rnlltlcN nlirt the School * .
Dr. O. Stanley Hall , , In a. paper In the At
lantlc , sums un thcrremlt of an Inquiry , basei
upon a large1 number of letters received b ;
the editor , In theser words :
"Nowhere has thew ever been , to m ;
knowledge , so clear 'and forceful a pr sonta"
tlon of the evils of subjecting schools to pollt
leal officers who are nearly lowest In tin
scale of political preferment , It la wors
of all when not only clly and slate superin
tendents , but even normal echool principals
must look to politics for continuance h
office , As long as this lasts appointment
cannot be wisely made , tenure Is not b :
merit , and the value to the community o
every dollar of school money Is greatly de
predated. The moral Influence of suc&i <
system Is wholly bad not only upon the com
munlty , but 'on every part of school worl
and on every person connected with It. Ii
hurts the pupils most of nil. The Indlffer
ence between a good and a fairly gooc
teacher , to say nothing of a bad one , Is In
calculable , but , like all things of the eoul
Inappreciable to the general public. Then
are schools In my city , and other cities In mj
state , where I should prefer two years ol
schooling for a child of mine to four years li
another school , where the public makes little
or no discrimination. The reforms needed , It
my Judgment , are , that the power of ap
pointment and also of removal be given Intc
competent and responsible hands ; that school
boards bo elected on tickets at large ; thai
with advancement up the grades should gc
Increase of pay permanence , and dignity , bul
that good tenchers In all grades should be
paid moro than poor teachers In any grade ;
that there bo a great but gradual Increase
of special teaching as pupils pass up the
grades ; that tile selection of text books bs
placed In expert and Incorruptible hands ;
and finally , that the functions of formal ex
aminations bo greatly reduced. "
Mr * . Trent l.rrtnrc mill Reception.
The Froebellan society Is proud of Us suc-
cass In getting Mrs. L. W. Treat of Grand
Fteplds , Mich. , to come here and speak to
those Interested In the kindergarten and the
new education. Last Thursday afternoon she
spoke for nearly two hours to a most appre
ciative audience. Her theme waa "Tho New
3ducatlon , " and was almost equally applica
ble to all grade of teachers , to kindergartens
and to mothers and fathers. Her central
thought was the need of positive teaching. Not
the "don'ts , " but the "do's , " avail In charac
ter building. Mrs. Treat clearly and graph
ically illustrated her points by Incidents from
her own rich experience , which has extended
over more than twenty years. She Is n
woman whoso great earnestness Is communi
cated to all who hear her.
Thursday evening tdie Froebellam society
tendered a charming ; Informal reception to
Mrs. Treat at the home of Mrs. A. C. Love.
The guests were mainly kindergarteners.
The early part of the evening was given
up to hearing Mrs. Treat talk upon Froebal's
"Mother Play. " The simplicity of the
presentation delighted all. Then she told
Kio charming story , ot "Seven Sweet Peas , "
after which dalnty-refrwhments were served.
The remainder of the evening was spent
In congenial converse.

A Tale of 4 Bundles
Last Saturday morning the wife ol a prominent
citizen called at "The Nebraska" and looked at some
boys suits. Selecting 3 different suits marked $6.00 ,
$7 75 and $7.00 each , she ordered them sent to her
house "on approval" at i o'clock sharp , Promptly at
the time appointed our messenger was on hand with
the suits as were also three other messengers with
three other bundles from three other clothing stores
in town.

What transpired up stairs when the different
bundles were opened the writer cannot pretend lo
say , but of the four bundles three were sent back and
we had the pleasure of endorsing1 the prominent
citizen's ' check made payable to us for the amount
of $20 75.

FATHER 1CAUMIXS1U MAY IU3TUIIN ,
Faction i l Sli'-.eloy AVlNliIiiK for Hit
Old 1'iiHtnr.
The element which saceded from the Polish
Catholic tJliurch at Sheeley about a year
ago nnd thereby brought about the trouble
which resulted in the burning of the church
building , Is still without an edifice of wor
ship , although It Is understood that the move
ment to build one Is about to be renewed.
The members of the faction are still bitter
against those of the other faction , and there
does not seem to be any likelihood that they
will ever join. The bitterness of feeling Is
shown by the fact that although they have
been unable to obtain quarters of their own
the anti-church faction has preferred not
to worship publicly at all rather than to
combine with the others.
IB Is the Intention to build a church In
time , although It is probable that a hall
will be hired for services for a time. A
priest Is to bo Invited to take the parish , al
though he has not as yet been chosen. In
fact , It Is stated tSiat no decisive action will
bo taken for Berne weeks , not until after the
visit of Father Stephen Karmlnskl , the former
priest of the now dissevered parish. Ho Is at
present at New .Britain , Pa. , where , It Is raid ,
that ho has ch'ar oof thiee ; separate and dis
tinct parlsfies , * preaching In each In turn.
He has written to some of his friends In
Sheeley that he will be ( here on the Saturday
after Easter. Sunday if possible. It may
be possible that he will preach a sjrmon ,
although the pdvlsablllty of this is ques
tioned. The feeling between the two fac
tions still remains too bitter to be tempted.
It would be more than agreeable- his
friends If Fath'er Karmlnskl could be Induced
to take the new church that is to be insti
tuted. They would prefer Jilm above any one
clse/xnot only because they think him a goo <
man-but / also for the bold front that h
displayed in the trouble between the tw
factions. But it Is not believed that he wll
come here.
"It will not be because ha Is afraid , " sale
one of his friends yesterday. "He showec
that he was not a coward. I believe tha
ho would like to come back to show tSi
people that he is not frightened , but he be
lleves thqt It might lead to more trouble
Besides , ho Is now obtaining a far greate
salary that we could give him , and It wouli
not be to his advantage to come here. "
The only difficulty lying In the way of th
building of a church edifice Is that the mem
bers of Mie faction have no money. The ;
are without exception poor people , who flm
It hard to get moro than enough to supper
themselves. Nevertheless , lliey have par
tlally purchased a plot of land which has been
turned Into a cemetery and when the. churcl
Is built It will be located upon this.
This month Is Wie anniversary month o
the troubles. It was on March 12 of las
year that the first fight occurred , and' the
church was destroyed a week later. Sine
that time the two factions have remained dls
tlnct , neither side apparently having lost In
numbers. They are still as Jealoud of cacl
other as they were a year agor and the meet
Ings of each are carefully guarded from th
other , ,
In thesa days of telephone , telegraph , clec
trlclty and steam people cannot afford t
wait days or as many hours for relief. This
Is our reason for offering you Ono Minute

Although the notable Introductory distribu
tion of that great , reference library , the

reasons below explained , decided to allow
one day's grace ; thus extending the time of
cloving to Monday night , March 16 , at 10
o'clock. Hundreds of Individuals and families
now happy In the possession of this magnifi
cent dictionary and encyclopedia ( as scores of
letters of approval received during- the last
day or two will attest ) , will congratulate the
tardy ones who have ueen accorded thla
"Day of Grace. "

defer even what they know to bo a duty to
themselves and families. ' This Is especially
true of busy men , and will apply in this
notable Instance. Many others , especially
ladles , were doubtlese deterred by the
threatening weather. In Justice to those
who really meant to apply In time , but could
not , anil to accommodate others , who , for
good caupe , have been thus far prevented
from calling , the distribution will bo con
tinued cno day more , positively closing to
morrow , Monday night , at 10 o'clock.
