10 THE BEE: OMAHA) WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1917. Nebraska f WON T CLOSE ALL' SCHOOLS TO AID CORN HUSKING When Necessity Appears Stu dents Fitted for Farm Work to Be Granted Leave of Absence. (From ft State Correspondent.) Lincoln, Oct.- 23. (Special.) Schools and colleges of the state will not take a vacation during the corn- husking period to allow students to assist in harvesting the corn crop, according to action taken by the edu cators of the stale at a meeting here. Representatives of the University of Nebraska, normal schools and other educational institutions agreed that when students were capable of husk ing corn, they be granted leave of absence to help in tht work. It was the opinion of the men that if the schools closed down a large number of students not in the corn shucking class would be deprived of the benefits of school. A motion by E. M. Pollard of,Ne hawka that the school year end May 1 and that school be held on holidays and Saturdays met with the approval of the meeting. This it was thought necessary because of the large acre age of all kind of grain which will .be put in next year. Not Binding on University. The action will not be binding on the University of Nebraska providing it is found necessary to use the stu dents on the farms nor will it call for school on Saturday because so many students work on that day in order to earn money to carry them through the school year. Every effort will be made tu credit those who leave school for corn shucking in their studies and especial assistance will be given them to catch op. A peculiar condition exists at the state agricultural farm, according to H. C. Filley. Generally it would be considered that the call of the farm would lure the boys who are taking larm work, but it appears that only about one-third of them are willing to leave school. Mr. Filley said, however, that those boys who were opposed were not "admirably fitted" to do the greatest service on the farm. Superintendent Minnie P. Knoots of Lancaster county, the only woman in attendance at the meeting, said she had discovered farmers wereafraid of the novice. They thought that , the green corn picker would confine his more aggressive work to eating chick ens than in getting out before,sunrise to shuck corn in the field. . Want Schools Open. This morning. President Haye of Peru normal and. President Dick of the Kearney normal, held a conference with State Superintendent Clemmons, Both were opposed to the idea of dosing- their schools. President Hayes said that there were 30 younf men attending his school who would go out to the cornfields and probably , more. . .- - ; . He did not think it good policy to shut the schools against-the; hundreds of others who were not adapted to the work. When those who go come tack there will.be special considera tion given them so they can catch up in their studies by the close of the school year. President Dick was of the same opinion. He said that be was urging as many, students as were capable of doing good work iu the field to go and there would be quite a number of thenvvbut he did not want die rest to be put to the inconvenience and extra expense of sticking around with no school Both men said that there were girl students in their schools who were anxious to try the corn fiields. ' ; In a letter to State Superintendent Uemmo .s, C. Ray Gates, superinten dent of the West Point schools, says Cuming county will not suffer for want of huskers and that there will not be a deficiency of more than two or three per cent He has made an estimate of the "prospects" and finds that while the draft has taken about that per cent of the men in the country, if everybody on the farms who can, will get busy, there will be no trouble. He estimate that there are 2,400 fam ilies ou the iarms of Cuming county and that each" family will average two corn shuckers, Thifc will .make 4,800 corn shuckers in that county outside of the town people and with 98 farm ers taken by the draft, the loss is only a little over two, per cent. .
