Mr. Pate said efficiency, demanded a free high school education as orlglnully Intended by tho free high school law and that it was necessary to secure that education "which comes 'nearest tho lives of the great majority of tho people courses In domestic science, agriculture and manual training. "Most of our girls must become house keepers and homomakers, and tho educa tion they recelvo should tend to prepare them for and make them satisfied rather than dissatisfied with the life they will lead after completing their school course," declared Mr. Pnte. "Too long has tho medieval Idea of ed ucation the idea that prevailed when only the sons of the nobility were edu cated and only the daughters of tho peasantry did housework dominated In our schools. We need In our public school courses those subjects that pertain to tho life of the great mass of common people; clUldren need to bo trained to do tho things and want to do the things that the peoplo must do; and In Nebraska the great majority of our boys should become agrlculturllsts and still a greater ma 'Jortty of our girls should become home makers. "School people should urge tho legisla ture to provide such a law as was recom mended by ex-Stato Superintendent lllshop, giving state aid to certain high schools, meeting an approved standard as to teachers, buiUilngs and equipment, that maintain courses in agriculture, manual training and domestlo science. Going Into detail about this law Mr. Pato said schools fitted for tho work sug gested should have at leant five acres of land within reasonable dlgtanco and an appropriation by tho state for such schoolrf J2.G00 to each school per year, 1 Concluding ho urged the necestlty of tho next legislature appropriating enough Secretary of Stute lWnrn to lie Kervr Sent In llonac for Member Vntll They Preaent Certlfl entea of Klrctlon.
