Declaring' that In Its opinion the- rate
charged to the (mail consumer should be
reduced, that i cent per l.ono gallons to
eom large consumer we relatively too
low and 'that there should be certain re
ductions and modification In the mater
rates and in some particulars In the flat
rates, the Omaha Water board yesterday
afternoon adopted a new schedule of water
ratea for consumer In the city of Omaha.
The secretary was Instructed to serve a
certified copy of the new schedule on the
officials of the Omaha Water company,
the new schedule bearing on It fare the
order to place the new rate In effect on
January 1, 190v
The new rates were adopted by the . board
In tho ninth meeting of that body called
for that purpose. At the first meeting the
officials of the company were asked to he
present and ahow cause why new rates
should not be made. The officials an
swered the summons of the board and
were present, but. refused to show cause
why a change should or should not bo
made, claiming that the' board was with
out jurisdiction. The board then asked the
company to submit Ita book and records
for the purpose of having a basts from
which to figure a schedule of rates. ' This
being refused, the board' secured what In
formation it could from other sources and
made up the new schedule as best It
could.
Waatt'to Avoid Compromise.
While the new schedule of water rate
contain an explicit order on the company
to comply with the board's ruling, the
board In a committee report adopted prior
to the adoption, of the schedule, declared
that Its action cannot and must not be
conatrued so as to compromise the board In
any way. One paragraph of the committee
report, touching on thl matter, says:
"This report and recommendation Is not
made In recognition of any rights claimed
by the Omaha- Water company to occupy
the streets of the city of Omaha since Sep
tember 4, 1908, or hereafter to occupy the
streets of the city of Omaha, or to have,
collect, or receive since September 4, 19C8,
or to hereafter collect and . receive the
water rate set down In ordinance No. i'Jo
but Is Intended to fix and determine what
the Water board, under and by virtue of
the powers In It vested, judge, and deter
mine to be reasonable compensation for the
water which the Omaha Water company
may deliver to private consumers pending
the period of time that may elapae between
this and the final termination of the pro
ceedings under the election; of the city of
Omaha to purchase the water worka,-unleaa

Review of tho Work.
Accompanying the report the committee
on water rate submits a long report cov
ering the detail of Its mission dstlng back
to March 18, 1906. That report states that
tho committee found the rate of 25 cent
per 1,000 gallons charged of small con
sumer to be exorbitant and the rate of
6 centa per 1,000 gallons charged aoma large
consumers to be disproportionately high.
The report goes Into the various steps
taken by the board and the invitations
Issued by the board to the officiate of the
water company to meet with the board and
take up the matter of rates. It say tho
board advised the company of Ita Intention
to reduce rates and argued that If the
company had objection to this and thought
the rates reasonable it - should appear
through it officials and make a showing.
Thereupon, the report states, the attorney
for the company challenged the right of
the board to cut rates. The board based
Its right on the claim that the contract
rights between tho water company and
thfc city terminated September 4, 1908.
President Woodbury of the water com
pany declined to appear or produce the
books or record of earnings of the com
pany for the use of the Water board, the
statement says. Thus, the committee says,
it was deprived of this Information which
might have benefited It In Its work.
Denies Riant of the City.
The report concludes thus:
This report and recommendation la nnl
made In recognition of any right claimed
by the Omaha Water comDanv to occunv
the streets of the city of Omaha since the
4th day of Si-ptember, 1908, or hereafter to
occupy fne streets or tne city of Omaha,
or to have, collect, or receive, since the 4th
of September. 1908. or to hereafter collect
and receive tne water rates set down In
ordinance No. 423, but Is Intended to fix ar.rt

by virtue of the powers In It vested, judge
and ditermlne to be reasonable compensa

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORK
Pasting- of "Little Red School Home"
from New England a Landscape.
CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS THE RULE
Hick Reaalta Kspeeted froaa Agricul
tural Colleae Grudaatea Activ
ities of Valvoroltleo Ess
ratloanl ?fotes.
The "little red achool house," with all
Its hallowed associations, has become al
most a memory In New England, where
It originated and flourished for three
quarters of a century. The color designa
tion Is a misnomer. .Very few were painted
red, most of them were splotched with
ochre, some were white and many were
paint less. So firmly,, were they rooted In
popular estimation that It required nearly
forty year to seal their doom. In 1869
Massachusetts started th movement for
consolidation of amall schools by passing
a law authorising tha. consolidation of
school districts and ths levying of a tax
to defray the expenses of transporting pu
pils to a central school.. The lsw remained
a dead letter for years, but as time moved
on the necessity for consolidation became
apparent and patrons gradually yielded to
the demanda of progressive teachers. In
recent year consolidation moved along by
leapa and bounds, tho chief Impelling force
being the extension of trolley lines through
out the country, affording prompt and reg
ular mean of conveyance.
In place of the little red school house.
uncomfortable and. Inefficient, appears tho
central graded achool. equipped with mod
ern facilities, comfortable and presided over
by a atsff of efficient teachers.. From
Massachusetts the . spirt of educational
progress spread throughout adjoining
states, producing satlsfsctory results every
where. The modern system Includes high
schools, which link It with the university,
and the normal schools. In which teachers
are trained. The subjects taught have been
greatly widened, there are Industrial and
trade schools, agricultural schools and man
ual training. Consolidation la only part of
an advance which has brought summer awl
night schools, technical courses, labora
tory work and nature study. '
"The conditions of education," says the
Boston Herald, commenting on the result,
"have been enormously Improved by con
solidation. The comfort and convenience
of the modern primary and grammar, school
building multiply the scanty structural ar
rangements of the district school by a large
factor. Most of the new high schools are
almost palatial In llielr magnificence.
There I a care for the health of the pupil
unknown fifty years ago. Ventilation, the
sufficiency and Incidence of light, even the
hygienic character of the seats and desks,
are all matters of solicitude In the modern
school.
Without consolidation, such develop
ments as medical Inspection and the em
ployment of school nurses would have been
Impossible. Add to all ; these benefits the
advantages of free tuition, free textbooks
and . free conveyance, and It ' will be seen
that. Instead of being a cause for lament,
the passing of the little red school house
ushers the educational system of New Eng
land Into a life, of larger efficiency and
richer yield than It has ever known In
the past." , .
COLLEGE; FARM, MANAGERS.
Resalls Expected from Aarrlraltaral
, Colleae Graduate.
Persona seem to fit one t more of grad
uates of colleges, of tagrlcu1ture than of
those of other kinds .of colleges, write
Prof. L. II. Bailey ,, In the November
Century. They seem .to expect that theae
men will be able at once to do all kinds
of farm work, tell . just what the soli
"needs," know what . to, do with animala
In health and disease, .and In particular
to be able quickly to restore a run-down
farm to profitableness.. and to be willing
lo do It "on shares." Persons do not
seem to realize the fact, that agriculture
Is a name not for one occupation, but
for a series of many . occupations, and
every one of these occupations should re
quire special training. The average college
graduate is not yet a mature man; he
may not have had much practical ex
perience with more than one kind of farm
ing, and of course this experience cannot
be gained at college: hie judgment must
be developed and proved.
The graduate of a -college of law reada
law for a time before, he enters practice;
the graduate of. architecture enters an
arcMtect's office; the graduate In medi
cine engages In hospital service; the
graduate In mechanics enters a shop to
learn the business; yet It la expected that
the graduate of agriculture will be able
at once to assume full responsibility for
a big business., and lie Is censured If he
makes a mistake. The trouble is hat
there are yet no adeuuate opportunities
In this country for the graduate In agri
culture to learn the business or to test
himself. If he needs such test, as there
are for other students. Farmers do not
take atudents on such a basis. Most
farms do not properly. Instruct tho boys
before sending them to college. Farm
practice should be learned at home, not
at college. The net result Is that while
much la -expected of the student In agri
culture, little opportunity Is afforded
him In the ..way .of any .training that fitly
supplements his college course. The
agricultural colleges cannot do their best
work fsr tho farms until .the farms come
to. their aid. . Of no -college Is so much
demanded aa of the ggrlcultural colleges,
because they are called on not only to
educate young men and. women, but alao
to k find the waya of making profitable
the occupation on which they rest. They
are not only educational, bejt economic
1 social agencies. .... ..

Increasing Interest In Education for
Rsilten Life.
Tables of registration for the last three
years, which have Just been Issued by the
school of business administration In the
University of Illinois, show a steadily In
creasing Interest In the work now bring
don by the universities In educating men
for business life. In the year 19n-7 the total
number of students taking the regular
business courses was ninety-four; In 1907
08 It was 114. and the number for the pres
ent year Is 145. Besides those who are regu
larly enrolled In the school of business
administration. It la estimated that 760 stu
dents registered In other colleges of the
university are taking one or more of the
business subjects offered.
In view of the law In force In Illinois,
which requires that all certified public
accountants pass examinations In commer
cial law, theory of accounts, practical ac
counting and auditing before receiving their
certificates, the new course preparatory to
the examination for accountancy which has
been Introduced Into the university Is of
particular Interest. With the growth of
great commercial enterprise there has been
a demand created for men who are experts
In accounts, who ate able to examine the.
financial detail of a business organtxatlon
In such a manner as to give a reliable
analysis of Its real condition. It Is to
provide these experts that the I'niverslty
of Illinois has Introduced four new courses
In accountancy. They are: Principle of
accounting, cost accounting. Industrial ac
counting and advanced accounting. The
Immediate Interest In these courses has
been such that It has been Impossible to
accommodate all the students desiring to
enroll In them.
The olcl.-fct continuous agricultural experi
ment In the United States Is In progress
at the University of Illinois, and the field
on which It Is being conducted Is the oldest
oil experiment field In the United State
and probably In the world. Th experiment
was begun In 1879, and was designed to
show by continuous comparison the effects
of different methods of crop rotation and
the effect on the yield of repeated planting
of the same crop without the addition of
any fertilising material.
The results of 'the experiment show that
on good soil average land of the Illinois
"corn belt" the production decreases stead
ily some 50 per cent In thirteen years and
0 per cent In twenty-nine years, when
corn Is planted on the same ground con
tinuously, and without the addition of fer
tilisers. The same soil increases In pro
ductiveness practically 30 per cent In thir
teen years when a judicious combination
of crop rotation and fertilisation Is main
tained. The University, of Illinois, which recently
created a department of railway engineer
ing, is now making plana for the Installa
tion of apparatus, to cost several thousand
dollars, for the use of students In the de
partment. Plans and specifications for the
various pieces of apparatus have been
drawn up by members of the faculty and
the contracts for the work will be awarded
November 1. The additional equipment Is
to be used In carrying on tests and making
Investigations on various kinds of railroad
work not hitherto undertaken, and for that
reason has to be specially designed.
