Orators and alleged orators are getting in preparation a speech that will be delivered many times under assumed names. The glorious commencement time is In the air. From out the capital soon will go Governor Mickey, State Superin tendent Fowler, Congressman Burkett and others a mighty host, to tell the gradu ates they "are leaving school Ufa to enter life's school." ' And that recalls the ' fact that In Ne braska many school Urea have been lived this year and last year and most every year, even in the days before Buffalo Bill became educated In the circus business and before junior normal schools were thought of. And that' recalls that in 189 there were scattered through Nebraska eventy-four ' public school houses. The table In the last report of the state supers tntendent does not show what they were built of, so It goes that sod or logs was the principal material. The next year the education fever rose several degrees and the number of school districts were In creased from 877 to 797, und the number of buildings to SOL To show the history of the building of public schools in the state from that time to the present this table Is attached: SCHOOL.

The records do not show what material was used In the erection of the buildings in the years 1878, 1881 and In 1869, probably because there were not enough brick houses constructed to make a good showing. In 1899 there was In the lot one baled straw house, but whether It was constructed and named In honor of Bill Nye and his "Baled Hay" does not appear. , . It is believed by most 'all concerned that the sod houses are on their last legs and that In a few short years more they will have disappeared. If not because of the pride of a new generation that venerates not the old, by legislative act, like tho prairie dog. That the tendency la in this direction was shown during the last legis lature when Mrs. Bowser, she of sod house rather than M. Quad fame, sought to have the state donate her $2,000 to be used in the construction of a sod house at the lioulniana Purchase exposition. It was her intention to make the tipper story of this house modern In every respect, that it would show in a nut shell the growth and progress of the state since the days of one Napoleon. But the legislature would have none of It. It was the general verdict that Nebraska needed not a sod house at St Louis- to tell the people what we "used to was." Statistics oa Teachers. Last year there were 9,629 school teachers employed, and of this number 7,767 were females and 1,862 males, which all goes to show that if all the female teachers are "woman suffragists" bright and early some of these mornings women will be voting to beat the band. In 1900 there were 7,491 female teachers and 2,062 males wielding the rod Just how many of these female teach ers were cousins and sisters-in-law of the members of the school board Is not known. This substitution of women for men in the school room has occurred In all . the states of the union and Its results have been seriously considered by. many men of prominence. The last -report of the state superintendent says there are few reports In existence prior to 1870, either state or national, that will furnish much Informs tton on this question. The report of the United States Commission of Education for 1899-1900 shows that in 1870-71 the male teachers jvero 41 per cent of the entire corps. In 1879-80 they were 43.

Y. he next ten years the women began to come to the front. The report shows that In thoee years the percentsge of male teachers dropped to 14t4. and In 109-1900 to 30 per cent. In the North Atlantic division now only 18 H per cent are males; the South Central division has 47 per cent males; the North Central division has 29 per cent males. To this division Nebraska belongs and of all the states In this division Ne braska has th least per cent of male teachers, having dropped from (2 per cent In 1870-71 to less than 19 per cent at the present time. In 1899 and 1900 Nebrsska men teachers held the percentage up to 22, but the crash came In 1901, when they dropped down three pegs. Moaepely for the Woaaea. And this little gathering of statistics may afford a them for some sweet girl gradu ate, for, lo, many men have bemoaned this fact of women teaching and thus com pelling men to go to work. Prof. Hugo Munsterberg In writing on the subject said: "The primary school today la abso lutely monopolised by woman teachers and In the high school they have an over whelming majority. The reason for this Is clear, sine the woman does not have to support a family, she can work for a smaller salary. Female competition must, if no halt la called, bring down sal aries to a point from which th supporter of a family must retreat." Th professor concludes his article by saying: "Thar was never before a nation that gave th education of th young into the hands of th lowest bidder." The strange part of thta Is that In th schools of Nebraska, according to th last report of th state superintendent, there wer 190,421 male pupil and 184.917 female pupils. But notwithstanding that a greater number of pupils are males, a rank out sider could tell that Nebraska publlo schools were In the hands of women. They could tell it by a little Incident that hap pened in Omaha. On bright, beautiful warm morning last summer about thirty male pupils of the High school strolled Into the school room wearing shirt waists and defiant airs. The principal raised up In his mighty wrath and he drove from out th tempi these young men. but they came back after frequent meetings and confer ences arid the shirt waists remained In school. Whether the female teachers chuckled In glee at this victory of women's wearing apparel la not recorded, but It Is said the male teachers, the last of a pass Ing race, have banded together to prevent young men from wearing divided skirts. Probably they will not succeed, for the tendency among the fashionable young men of today is In that direction. And th fashion plates show It. PRATTLE OF THE! YOL'N GSTERS. Little Wlllle-eay, pa!

ECONOMICAL DEVICES OF BUSINESS WOMEN Aa Experleaeo that May Be Followed by These ia Neeel at a Pro tract ed Rest with Llttl Money Take It Oa. Th summer outing of tho average work ing woman la rarely a time that ah re members with pleasure. In nine cases out of ten the two or three weeks which con stitute th vacation must b spent In coun try boarding houses too crowded for com fort. Saturday afternoon brings out even more perspiring humanity to add its noisy quota toward the further undoing of sensi tive nerves, and when th brief sojourn In Arcadia Is over the woman In search of rest wonders why ah had not thought of spending her vacation In town. But on young woman has solved th problem of how to get a quiet and pleas uraabla summer outing on next to nothing. To her sister who Is In need of a protracted rest and who la wondering where th money for It will com from, her experi ence will prove extremely Interesting. As the young woman in question had brought on complicated y trouble by her work, a long country rest waa at last ad vised, hearing which dictum, she at ono mad out In her mind th following memo randum of her resource : Cash pa band: $69. Drawbacks to summer board: Expense, voices, pianos. Gifts for playing Robinson Crusoe: Cour age, cooking, washing, gardening. Available amusements: Walking, boating, fishing. "So bet It," said th young; woman, who already felt a delicious interest in th no tion, "I shall play Robinson Crusoa" Aa Oatlagr la aa Attle. The next thing was to find a desert Island, and this. In th shap of three attic room in a long-closed farm house, was soon appropriated. This came about In th most accidental way. Somebody suggesting an Interior county aa an excellent place for the scheme of Isolation and Independence, the young woman took the hint and a train, and In a little over an hour's time was set out at a little town. Here, for the sum of Sl-60, a man In top boots agreed to put himself and his buckboard at her service for a tour of the country. Ha told of th quiet of Cross river, a sort of deserted village from, which ' sleeping hamlet everybody who had not died had moved away to be nearer the railroad. The cheap possibilities of the place striking home, a drive of four miles brought them to the haven. In the deep shade of superb old trees sat a long gray house, billed to rent, which th exile at one settled upon as her abode. An old farmer, who cam up th hill to do the talking. Informed the woman that the rent was 16 a month. But th goods of one John Donoghu had littered the best of the twelve rooms for a year; so until he could consult a lawyer aa to their removal for John had flown in the night with his portable riches eh must be con tent with the three attlo rooms which overlooked the valley. For these the rent would be 21 month, though this exorbi tant sum included a "garden patch," a spring of "fin" water and all the "fire wood" that th tenant wished to pick up. Presently the old man seemed to place th eccentrlo newcomer. "Be ye on o' them artists folks?" he asked. N 8h nodded. . All was plain sailing after this, for the man now became as anxious to keep the windfall aa he had been a moment before to send it away. How the Attle Was Famished. He had known an "artist lady" one be fore, and all the cockles of his heart warmed to the clan. There was no end to his favors. Hearing that there was only a trunk to be moved .from the railroad station, he "guessed" that the stranger might use any of the absconding Donog hue's furniture and not send for her own. Then there waa a nice tick down at the shop that, filled with new hay, would make a fin mattress for her; and if she liked "them things" brown bean Jugs, an old chest painted black, and a cracked willow dish, weeded from John's litter there was, too, at th shop a pile of "Junks" she might pick over. He began to wonder, even. If he had not chsrged too much rent for th attic chambers. The "Junks" of th shop surpassed th young woman's wildest hopes. The Don oghu household goods had been of a sort to set th teeth on edge, but her, covered with dust, and scratched and broken, wer antique bits of purest beauty. She remembered to have heard that the region In question waa famous for its an. clent furniture, and warned ths landlord that the pieces he was willing to sell for so little would bring much higher prices In the city. He set the point aside. Th city was "fur" away, and ten years ago many of the things had been left with htm to sell at these prices. Under such argument the listener felt hey scruples fade; and for "twenty shillings" a wide-topped, thin legged Chippendale sideboard became hers. A radiant old blue quilt, hand-woven and with "Prudence" In th corners the nam of th long-dead spinner followed for SLM. and a low chest of drawers with carved feet for $2. Certain quaint, high-backed chairs the old man would not sell from sheer senti ment. He had begun married life with them fifty-five years before, and had thrown them aside for newer fashions. They really were not worth anything, but. since they pleased the "city lady," she was welcome to th loan of them. In a cedar chest wer linen sheets, soma entirely whole, though spotted with time, likewise spun by the. departed Prudence. Th young woman yearned for th sheets. These, however, wer beyond price. They would fall "to holes" In the washing,' the old man argued. But sine th newcomer handled the coarse meshes tenderly, a loan of four was thrust upon her. With this courtesy he hauled forth a spindling wooden settee aa a present, to eaa his conscience for all the money h had taken from her. Food for Kathlag. Indeed, th whole lonely section of coun try soon proved strangely Indifferent to th value of money, and th subject, besides. needed to be delicately touched upon. For her tl rental the young woman had several pieces of furniture, sheets, dishes, an occa slonal drive, and th privileges of th farm er's kitchen garden. The argument waa al ways the same. "W ain't usln' 'em," or "We throw it away, so why should you pay Even a scrubby little fox terrier came up as guardian of the night, and an old bay onet, ground to stiletto sharpness, wss added by way of a weapon against the pos sible marauder. The new establishment one In working order the old man's wide straw hat ceased to como up the hill many times a day to se how hla guest was getting a'ong. But the new pleasures of her quaint menage kept her from loneliness, and since she needed to skirmish somes hat for existence th night found ber ready for the deep sleep. gomstlmw ah waa tut U U for a break fast, being of forgetful mrmory and th supply wagons passing only twlc a week. But the fact dfd not dismay her, even though th larder was bar as waa Mother Hubbard's cupboard. The Instinct of the chase was awakened, and with something of the fierce Best that was primeval man's, field, hill and brook wer ransacked for their llfe-glTlng treas ures. t On by one, aa the season advanced, the wild gifts of nature poured Into th gray house by the roadway strawberries, rasp, berries, mushrooms, field aalad, wild cher ries, wild gtapea and nuts of many sorts. For all the land contiguous to the house belonged to her landlord, and the tenant waa privileged to roam wherever she chose. Expenses Jast as a Month. With such delicacies at command, th 210 determined on for monthly expenses soon left a cheering surplus. One dollar a week was all that was spent for "boughten stuffs" from the supply wagons. With th monthly rental, th entire expanses wer 23 a month. Th rainy days were th. hardest of all to bear, for the solitary householder had no eyea for books. But soon she found that If there were neither clothes nor dishes to wash she could occupy her fing ers by shipping rags, which, for 25 cants th woven yard, a weaver who passed would resolve Into radiant portieres and floor rugs. In one way and another she busied her self, and when the end of vacation com she was as strong as any country bred girl and mora than ready for her work. If she had spent every penny of her 260 she had made 2100 mora. Friends paid her r7K fn. i ' the old silk for which other friends had I sent out Her city grocer "gladly gav her 22S for ten gallons ef wild cherry cordial, many Jars of grape and strawberry Jam and, three crocks of tomato and cucumber pickles. The receptacles and sugar and alcohol for these home-made dainties had cost little; and as to their main ingredi ents, what nature had not held out to her. th young woman's own doll baby "garden patch," prepared and tended by her own cherishing hands, had supplied. As sh took the train one bright morning for the city the young woman, who had' so usefully employed th period of con valescence, felt sh had reason to be pleased with her four months' outing. She had learned to sleep Ilk a baby, waa In condition to work once more and had en tertained herself prodigiously. With it all and glorious thought to the needy she was at least $30 mors In pocket than when starting on th adventure. s iiGse Druggists Sell Crani-Tonic OMAHA. DRIGGISTS. WUOLKSALB. B. M.
