If the court should decldo that, after the Bonrd ot Education has directed me to investigate tho status of technical high schools In different cities, I should stand my own expense for that work, I shall cheerfully abide by the decision of tne court ana return tne im spent tor ten dayn' travel In the east I shall cvon go further than that. I will not -suffer Mr. Graft ta spend his own money on a mission for .the Board of Education, but will relmburso the school district treas urer out of niy own funds the $160 spent by him for the good of education and the school system ot Omaha.
