" Cleanliness Is Next to Godliness" Is the Slogan of All Children Attending Bancroft Public School Children Observing Com mandments of Neatness Given Small Cloth Shield to Wear for the Day. A small boy, who responds to the name of Jim, appeared at the Ban croft school last Wednesday morn ing, crying as if he was carrying a terrible weight of woe. Principal Austin observed the tear-stained face and she asked the youngster to explain his grief. He related that a neighbor's goat had made a raid on his home shoe-shining equipment, and thus he had been unable to shine his shoes' that morning. He feared that he would be unable to earn a perfect score in the personal cleanliness work which is carried on in' this school. Miss Austin found blacking and brush and the boy quickly put a shine on his shoes. Tears were dispelled and a happy smile appeared. He was given his daily shield, which indicates that he had observed the 10 command ments of cleanliness. This is illustrative of the work that is being done among the chil dren of Bancroft school. Each child who appears at tcfcool with evidence of having observed the following commandments is given a small shield to wear for the day: Necktie or hair ribbon properly adjusted, face, neck,- ears and hands clean; hair combed, nails attended, shoes blackened, no holes in stockings, and clean teeth. Bath Means 10 Points. Complete observance . of these rules entitles a child to a score of 50 for the school week, and a bath adds 10 more poitrts to the weekly score. - Allowances are made for boys and girls whose home conditions are not conducive to the besi results. Miss Austin told of the case of a Mexican boy whose parents live in a box car at Gibson. He finally caught the spirit of the movement and when he started to "spruce up" he made some of the other kiddies "sit up and take, notice." He went down to a 10-cent store and bought some buttons which Miss Austin sewed on where they would do the most good, i He bought a tooth brush and the other day Miss Austin said she believed ' she could detect the aroma of perfume on his coat. He takes a weekly bath and has not experienced any ill effects from that ablutionary treatment. "A mother told me that since our system has been stared there has been considerable scrubbing (n her home, which she had been unable to accomplish by herself," related Miss Austin. "Shields Against Disease." The small cloth shields which the children wear are symbolized as "shields against disease." Group consciousness is awakened by wear ing these shields. Those who fail to win them are, as a rule, spurred to greater effort to merit, them on another day. An extension feature of this work will be a merit system for home work, such as washing dishes, help ing care for the baby, sweeping floors and otherwise helping mother or father. Helpful co-operation in all of this work is given by student assistants, comprising two students elected from each room by the children.

These children are rep resentative of many pupils of Bancroft school, where personal cleanliness and appearances won praise from Superintendent Beveridge. , "cleanliness is next to Godliness," and that personal cleanliness tends to promote good health. Or.c of the important features of the work is the advancement made in awak ening an interest in clean teeth. ' It is believed that every child of Ban croft school has his or. her own toothbrush. Retribution tt Home. While his mother was away on a visit Johnny didn't say his prayers. Upon his mother's return there was a reckoning. ' "Why didn't you say your prayers, John ? v "Well, you see, it was this way, ma: I forgot to say, them the first night an' nothing happened. 'N then I didn't say them the next night an' nothing happened so I decided I wouldn't ever say 'em again if noth in' every happened." An then something happened.

Sexton, accompanied., by Ben Myers, one of the men concerned in the Beemer garage robbery last December, to the penitentiary at Lincoln on Wed nesday, where, he will serve a term of from one to seven years. His companion in the crime, Charles Wheeler, is now under suspended sentence, having been paroled to Sheriff Sexton for two years. The women of West Point have been called together in a mass con vention on next Tuesday evening to discuss their rights and duties as electors. It is expected that the fe male voU will cut a big figure in the forthcoming election and evi dently in the selection of members of the Board of Education. Influenza has again broken out violent in West Point, Misses Grace Ross, Hildred Holts and Prof. Wil liams, teachers of the high school have been taken down and are se riously ill. This has caused the closing of the high school for at least a week on account of the pre vailing scarcity of competent teach ers, much difficulty is anticipated in filling the places of these teachers. The fear is expressed that the en tire public school system in the city will be hampered for some time to come, although every effort will be made to secure competent teachers. A number of' cases are reported throughout the city, among whom are' Mr. and Mrs. Henry Grunke, formen of the West Point Repub lican, who were attacked at the same time. Among the returned soldiers from Cuming county who arrived here during the -past few days are, the following: Harry Kautz, who was one of the "Lucky Seven" the first contingent to leave this county, and who esablished an enviable record in France; also Clement Risse and Anton Risse, sons of Anton Risse of the South Side, and Henry Ris see of this city. ' Political Parties at Minden Agree on Same Candidate for Mayor Minden. Neb., March 22. (Spe cial.) Both Minden political par ties have selected W. H. Kennedy as candidate for mayor, and have also agreed on Elmer Taylor as councilman, for the north ward, and Mrs. W. S. Wimmer as a member of the school board. In the neigh boring villages of Axtell and Heart well, barely enough candidates have been selected to fill the offices, with no opposition at all. The main feature of this year's election will be the part which the women of Min den will play, not only voting in the school elections, but in the election Of city offers as well, and among the judges and clerks of election the names of three Minden ladies are found, while three are candi dates for positions on the school board. Two of Minden's returned soldiers were named as candidates for city clerk, on opposing tickets, but one of them, Joseph Peterson, having declined for the reason that he will not remain in the city; Charles York is left as the only one in the field, for that position, Its bill holds more than its bellican.
