Seleeti Official , Route for Mearasuaue Who Wish te Attend the National Reaalaa at Washlactea. - From a Staff Correspondent.) XJNCOLN. Aug. ISpeclal.) Closer or ganlaatloa ol elty schools- aa Increaae Id tb average salary paid to the teachera of both rural and dlty achooli and a de crease In the number of school buildings through consolidation are - among the 1 changes predicted by State Superintendent Fowler to take place In tha schsol eoodl- tlona of Nebraska during the remainder of tha decade. Mr. Fowler la Just completing a cam paign with the teachera' Institutes through out the state. Ha baa visited upward of half of the counties, and his predictions are based largely upon hla own observation of actual conditions. "I feel safe In predicting a much closer organisation of the city school!," said Mr. ' Fowler. "I believe all the city superin tendents and principals will be required by law to make aa complete report! and '.to furnish aa accurate statistics as the eounty superintendents now are, and that ' their work will be done more systemaU- sally. There will be a revision of the .method of assessment and levying of tales , before 1910 and consequent reduction of ,'the minimum levy. "Let us hope that the number of men j teachers employed, which decreased 30 per ,eent during the past decade, will Increaae, , while the number of women teachera, Which decreased only about 4 per cent, will I remain stationary. In tbla connection I .would call attention to the fact that the Vaverage monthly wages of men during the ten years Increaaed $1.26, while that of the Nromea decreased $1.02. In both there should vend must be a material Increaae If we wish 'to keep In tha profession tha better qualified uPersoas. Ckajsares la tha Sehaala. ,1 believe that la 1910 the enrollment will be a larger percentage of the acbool (population ,tbeu in 1900, but what is of 'vastly mora Importance the; average dally attendance will be a much larger per cent !of tha enrollment and of the acbool census than In 1900. Tha number of aod and log school buildings la the state will rapidly decrease and the number of frame achool I buildings will allghtly decrease, while the umber of brick buildings will Increase. jturlng the neat ten years, there will be 'a decreaae in tha total number of acbool 1 buildings in the atate of Nebraska through I tha consolidation of rural achool districts. There will ba a material Increaae la the .length of tha term In many school districts for tha state; and let us hope that In 1910 ,aur oouuty euperintendente will average at jleeat 11,000 a year each. Our atate teach ers' association, our great university aad vis sut sorul scico! sr'I issrsass ths'.r enrollment materially. There will then be three state normal schools. Ia 1910 in many of tha rural ' portions of tha atate the farmers', children will bare tha same advantages of education In a well arranged, well organised, well graded achool that the village and city, puplla now enjoy.

A member of the civil government class of the public achoola of ...Boone county asked the Department of Publle Inatruetloa a few daya ago to decide the question whether. If a man marks a ballot at an election with a pencil d liferent In color from that provided In tho booth, hla ballot will be counted. In the letter containing this question It was explained that, the class waa unable to come to a satisfactory con clusion. Superintendent Fqwler referred the Inquiry to the attorney general and the following decision was given: "In absence of fraud a ballot marked In compliance with all statutory requirements, except that the marks were made In a color different from that specified by law, should not ba rejected on account of auch vari ance In the colore. Ths use of the wrong pencil did not In any way obscure the In tention of the voter, and, while It waa his duty to mark the ballot aa directed by law, his vote should not be disregarded In determining the result of tha election, where he bap plainly expressed his own Judgment' without violating a mandatory provision of the atatutea. The atate la In. tereeted In giving effect to the will of the majority aa expressed at the ballot box. In giving effect to thia principle tha courta hold that a statutory provision specifying a particular kind of mark la directory merely, unless made mandatory by express provision of the law, and that a disregard of auch a direction does not, In abaenca of fraud. Invalidate tha ballot of tha voter whoae Intention haa been clearly expressed at the polls."

SENSATION OF TOURNAMENT UP TO DATE t'aexperted Result af Match Over tares All Calcalatloaa aad Forces Wlae Oaes to Revlso Their The defeat of E. M. Aahcraft of Chicago by F. R. Sanderson of Galesburg, 111., in the second round of the Interstate tennis tour nament at the Field club Tuesday afternoon furnished both the aurprlse and the sensa tion of the play so far. Thla result, unex pected by all, overturns calculatlona as to the playera who will reach the finals and even the semi-finals, which waa though to be so plain on the face of tha drawings. Again, the match brought out easily the prettiest tennis of the tournament to date, and It was fought point by point to the end through three eeta. Ashcraft waa unani mously baoked for a winner in thla match and also In the third round to follow, which would place htm In the seml-flnala. But 8anderaon wen by pure tennis, and won wall. A large gallery waa kept In throes of ex citement during the contest, for Interest was aroused at the start by the fact that Sanderson seemed to be taking- the first aet hands down from the Chicago star. He quickly ran Ashcraft to 6-2, and then the latter by a sustained rally took five atralght games, winning the set Spectators thought the let down on Sanderson's part meant he had lost hla nerve, but It waa not so. Tba next set he took 6-2 and the third 9-4. The result shows first of all that Ash craft Is not as good a clay court man aa Sanderson. On grass courts he Is third best man In Chicago, being aurpassed only by Waidner and Collins. Each man yeaterday played much the aame atyle of game, which made the contest closer. Both did much lobbing, where Sanderson excelled. He lobbed out of court but once. There was also much net work by each, but Sander aon kept Ashcraft back a good deal by lobbing, and it proved a winning game. When It camo to tha drlvea Ashcraft ahowed beautiful back court work. At the net San derson waa on tha whole tba quicker and aurer of tha two. lp to tho Third Round. Meanwhile all tha other matches were completed up to the third round, so there now remain but eight playera In singles. They play today as follows: Wilder against Peters, Parker against Karnaworth. Sander aon against Raymond, Sheldon against Cald well. All theae come off tbla afternoon at S o'clock. Interest centers In the Parker Farnswortb affair. Either man ahould be able to defeat Patera or Wilder, ao on tha match la considered to hinge one name for tha semi-finals, representing the top half of tho drawings. Meanwhile below there are Sanderson and Raymond, where tha former ahould win, and Sheldon and Caldwell, where the visitor will In alt prob ability pull out Thla will bring Sanderson and Sheldon together, and It will be a bat tie royal tor tne nnais. Bo tne winner of Sanderson-Sheldon will play tha winner of Parker-Farnaworth for the challenge cup, unless some upheaval ahould occur. At thla point the tournament Is considered to be very open, with the result a tossup. There Is no safe bet on the winner. The aecond beat match Tuesday waa be tween Raymond and McOee. At Sioux City last week Jerome beat 'Ike," but Raymond turned the tables this time, winning after a terrlflo struggle 4-0, 6-4, 6-4. In this match, too, the loser took the first aet. The boya p'ayed a fierce game, but there waa considerable wlldneas. McOee had hla well known atyle, but showed his usual lack of control. Raymond meanwhile waa wilder than usual, making him about aa loose as his opponent. Both lobbed poorly, but drives and passes and net work were good. Raymond finally won by steadying down and becoming the aafer and aurer of the two. One Omaha Player Left. Sam Caldwell, the only Omaha player now left on the list, worked himself nicely Into the third round by his second victory, beating Croakey 8-6, 6-2.
