Whllo Omaha Is not generally considered
In thu light ot tin, educational center, Us
position as tho metropolis ot u state ot over
1,000,000 Inhabitants, but 2 per cent ot
whom aro Illiterate, together with tho fact
that It liaB a non-rosldcnt student popula
tion of about 1,600 young men and women,
has placed It among tho leading educational
olttcs ot tho west, but Us closo proximity
to tho recognized educational center of the
atato naturally gives rlso to tho question:
Who constltuto this student population?
What attracts theue students to Omaha T
A general survey ot thte student popula
tion and tho education It Is seeking will not
only furnish tho beat reply, but reveals
many tacts and conditions that do not oc
our to tho ordinary observer and that may
prove enlightenment to. many residents re
garding facts well known to those sur
rounding ue. To begin with, these out-of-town
students constltuto fully two-thirds
ot tho attondanco of tho private educational
institutions of tho city. Ot tho 1C2 students
at Omuha Medical collego 125 aro non-residents;
ot Crelghton Medical college, 126 ot
15; Omaha Dental college, CC out of 92.
Twenty pur cent ot Crelghton university
atudents aro from out of town. Tho per
cent at Urownoll hall Is etlll groater, but
at tho convents considerably smaller, while
only about 40 per cent of tho business col
lege pupils live In Omaha,
Ilinv SehiioU rioiirUli. "
In long-ostablUhcd communities whero
time and cxporlcuce havo evolved estab
lished Institutions, an oducatlonal system
Is almost a natural condition' of which fre
quent academies and colleges aro tho out
growth, but In now communities, etlll un
dergoing agricultural and commercial de
velopment, only a minority nt the districts
afford Instructions In advance ot the Inter
mcdlato or grammar grades, while tho col
leges occur lens frequently and seem to
havo a tendency to group In a common lo
cality. Regarding these localities and In
stitutions, two general characteristics pre
vail. First, that the seat of state universi
ties and similar Institutions Is usually n
"college town," with surroundings and at
mospbero consistent with student work and
life, whllo tho Instttutlouapreparatory and.
supplementary io me university worn seem
to thrive beet In the commercial centers ot
a statu.
As the educational Institutions of Omaha
are ct.lcfly of this latter character tho ques
tion finds Its nuswer mainly In this ap
parently common rulo. The fact still re
malnu tliat Omaha has on Its ctudent roll
members from Canada, Mexico and nearly
every state In tho union, and their pres
ence hero can best be accounted for by tho
Just fame ot tho excellence of our schools.
The nrcat majority ot theso non'realdents
r from Nebraska, Iowa and surrounding
states, and are hero for our High school
branches, business, theological and medical
eourscs, the work at Crelghton university
and the study ot art, music, elocution and
physical culture Tho greater proportion
ot theso aro young men nnd of their num
ber 20 per cent Is a low cstlmato ot those
who aro dependent entirely upon their own
efforts for tho advantages they enjoy. This
Ib especially truo'of tho students ot tho
business and medical colleges and Crelghton
university. To theso peoplo our prosperous
commciclal system In an admitted attrac
tion, affording amplo opportunities and
facilities for not only making tholr way,
but obtaining, profltablo experience as well,
which in many cases provldo openings for a
subsequent career.
inillcutlonn of the Clty'a Nature.
The lntolloctunl and moral Gtatus ot a
city and the elovaUng, permanent, and
transclont advantages that are tho out
growth, are lnvaluablo to tho student and
necessarily determine1 In a largo degree the
adaptability of a location for educational
Institutions, and in a measuro tho success
of such schools. It Is, this feature of Omaha
perhaps an much as any other that has en-t
couraged tho establishment ot collegca.hero
nnd attracted students' to then). This fact
la Illustrated In tho dally increasing do-,
mand for some sort ot educational bureau
whoro announcements of the lectures, spe
cial presentations and llko attractions that
aro brought to tho city, may bo had, along
with other gonoral Information of this character.
Ono of the most valuablo auxiliaries to
tho educational system Is tho public library,
for It not only supplies valuablo reference
works and spoclal periodicals, but a vast
amount bt other Utoraturo supplementary
to tho 'college llbrarloi. This demand is
very heavy from all classes of student's,
many depending almost entirely upon It,
whllo thcro aro nono who do not sharo
some of Its privileges.
Some Interesting Knots.
A brief review ot the student life ot
Omaha reveals somo Interesting tacts In
connection with It. There nro In tho public
schools fifty non-rcsldcnts, twenty-six of
whom nro attending the High school. They
represent all parts of the stato and western
Iowa and como here tn search of better ad
vantages than their homes afford. The
business collegos catch the graduates of the
state grammar and High schools, desiring
to qualify for commercial careers. These
naturally como to tho commercial center
and tho delivery of tho threo, dally pap"ers
ot tho city Is ono ot the chief sources of
lncomo, among them. Crelghton university
has an enrollment of 2Uj men, and being tho
only Catholic university la tho state and
tho nearest In western Iowa, draws Us stu
donts nmost entirely from Catholic fam
ilies. Tho sauio Is true of tho Theological
emlnnry, which, being a Presbyterian or
ganization, rccclvos Its Btudents chiefly from
tho two Presbyterian colleges ot tho state,
Dellovuo and Hastings colleges. The dental
and mcdicaPcnllcges naturally receive many
ot the Stato university graduates, but fully
an equal number from surrounding states,
it is to these Institutions that students have
como so far and In nearly every instance
thoy havo came hero far the school alone.
As a finishing hcIiooI for young women
Urownell hall receives the daughters of
representative families from all over tho
west Mid the samo Is true wf the convents,
the other advantages ot the city materially
supplementing their curriculum.
Though Omaha has so coruervatory ot
muslo tho excellent instruction offered by
finished musicians brings many hero each
year, while tho Art guild, tho privileges ot
tho Ltnlnger gallery and tho superior In
structions lnduco tho prcsenco ot many art
students.
And so throughout tho onttre system
thero' is tho co-operation and combination
which afford advantages unrivaled In tho
west.

LONDON TELEPHONE SCANDAL
Una-lUli PoNtolllec Combines with
Mouonoly ItVns Supposed

I
(Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.)
LONDON, Nov. 80. (New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) London's
outburst of sympathy and unctuous rectl
tudo over New York's rescuo from Tam
many had scarcely subsided whon thU city
was confronted with an admlnlstratlvo
scandal of tho first magnltudo within Its
own immaculate confines.
The English postofflco, always twenty
years behind the times, Instead of taking
tho telephone system Into its own hands In
tho beginning, presented a franohiso to a
prlvato company, which, llko all monop
olies, becarao oppresslvo and extortionate,
giving tho worst servlco In Europe.
As a result of an outcry from tho whole
press and tho world of business, a nnrii.n.
mentary inquiry was made four years ago
Into the manner In which tho telephone
company had lived up to its agreement with
the postofllco. This Investigation ended In
a decision by Minister Hanbury to extin
guish tho company's monopoly by starting
tho postofflco sen-Ice In competition.
That schemo was on tho point ot being
formally adopted wbon tho telephone com
pany coupled to Its directorate IUght Hon.
Sir Henry Fowler, M. P., a liberal cablnot
cx-mlnUter, a man whoso every pore
exudes righteousness. From that moment
Hanbury's reforming zeal was stayed by
eomo occult force, nnd when tho unionist
government was reconstructed Austen
Chamberlain was put In Hanbury'a placo.
Fowler is boss of Wolverhampton, as
Chamberlain Is of Birmingham (tho two
capitals of tho Midlands), and, although
Fowler wont with Oladstono In the home
rulo split, bio relations with Chamberlain
always remained curiously friendly.
When tho Boer war began Fowler In
stantly raaged himself beside Chamberlain
and over since has been a fervid defendor
of tbo ministerial policy. During this
period Fowler has been negotiating a now
contract In behalf of tbo telcphono monop
oly, with Austen Chamberlain, the colonial
secretary's eon, representing tho treasury
and the postofflce.
This contract, now ofllclally disclosed,
shows that, Instead ot the pc-atofllce com-
noting with tho cxlstlne mononolv. nn
agreement has been entered Into botwoon
them, enabling tho monopoly to increaso
tho charges without any guaranty that it
will lmprovo Its sorvlco.
Unlimited uso of a telcphono costs now
J50. Undor tho new Cliamlmrlnln.l.'nulnr
agrooment It will cost $85. Glasgow has a
perroct telephone system undor tho munlct
pallty for $25.
Tho telonhono mnnonnlv nlndr h
$1,850,000 In value slnco tho publication ot
tho new agreement. Moreover, complaint
is niauo thnt ccrtnln favored .persons hav
ing privato knowledge of tho character of
tho agreement have recently been buying
toiopnono siock largely, clearing Immense
profits. Tho press, tho London Corporation
nnd tho Chamber of Commerce nro all up In
arras, but the telenlibno coumnnv nniv m.
plies by appointing Fowlor ita chairman. If
a similar transaction had occurred in New
York, what homilies would hnvo been de
livered by tho English press on American
corruption!
