Once each month In Omaha a day Is given over to the study of hoy to escsi' quickly front the school In case of fire ami drills with this object in view are executed. "This has been so successful," said Superintendent E. IT. Grafr, "that we ran now empty an entire school In n minute, and some of them are so well drilled they can be emptied In thirty seconds." The superintendent Is much pleased with a new fire escape at the Windsor school, the only one like It In the city.

School Directory for the County is Out The Educational Directory of Douglas county has just been issued by Cdunty Superintendent' Yoder. It ' contains In formation In reference to the schools outside of Omaha and South Omaha. This directory gives the names of teach ers and school board members as well as certain other data. Last year the enrollment In tho county schools was 3,998, a slight Increase over preceding years. The number remaining In both rural and town schools until the eighth grade work, is completed Is Increasing rapidly. The high school attendance has Increased remarkably during the last four or five years. A few years ago It was scarcely more than '00. Last year the high school enrollment was 209 and the attendance at the beginning of this year is 301. In addition, a number of pupils of high school grade are taking preparatory, agricultural, and other courses In various schools. The Dundee school and the Q Street school (west of South Omaha) are the largest of the schools that do not carry work above the eighth grade. This Is because of their proximity to the high schools of Omaha and South Omaha. Dundee has this year added an excellent kindergarten, and the Q Street school is also growing, rapidly and doing good work. Conditions Point to Big Wheat Crop After having made an extended tour through the fall wheat sections of south ern Nebraska and Kansas W. W. John ton, assistant general freight agent of the Burlington, is home, and makes a most, optimistic report relative to con ditions for next year. All through northern Kansas there haa been an abundance of rain during the lajt six weeks. The ground is in splendid con dition and the acreage of wheat Is large, even great tr than last year. The groin Is ail up and much of it six inches high, covering the ground like a mat and of a dark green color. Throughout southern Nebraska condi tions are even more promising than in Kansas, This Is especially true In tua valley of the Big and Uttle Blue river. There, on account of the frequent and heavy rains, the ground is thoroughly soaked to a depth of ten to twelve Inohes, The result of this is, according to Mr. Johnson, that the outlook for a big wheat crop next season la the best In many years.
