THE TRAINING SCHOOL.

OMAHA, Dec. $50 the Editor of The
BEE: / beg leave to ask the following qucs-
tions in regard to maintaining the Teachers
Training school:
The state provides q Normal school at Peru
for the benefit of those desiring to become
teachers. The taxpayers support this
school. Why are we also taxed to maintain
one here at home!
Last year the cost of the school was about
$500 per month-the principal receiving $3.50
per month, four training teachers 500 per
month, each janitress $50 more, while the
fuel and other expenses amounted to
about $25, making a total of $4,000 per
school year. AS the class never numbered
over twenty pupils the school proved n
rather expensive experiment. Last Febru-
airy the class consisted of eighteen pupils,
three of them being Roman Catholics, who
have not been appointed as teachers. The
Board of Education abolished the school
last fall, claiming it was illegal. The state
superintendent also said it was illegal. II
the school was illcgallast year how has it
gained its legality now?
There Is o rule of the board providing for
the paying of $50 per month to graduates of
the Normal school. This is given to other
Normal school graduates, but the Omaha
graduates receive but $40. Why do %nonresi-
dents receive more than those that graduate
IN Omaha?
There are vet six cadets to be placed in
tne SCHOOLS, DuG tne vacancies are DelnR con
stantly filled by teachers from other places
and the taxpayers daughters have to stand
aside. As yet the graduates of last Febru,
AIRY have not received q certificate from the
Board OF Education because of this legality
question.
In THE BEE of last evening there is a
piece against the training, but the public
does not know all the facts about 1T.
Another question: BY what authority
did the principal put aside the examination
marks of the cadets of the theory depart
ment. which consisted Of ten months, and
substitute the practice marks, which occu,
pied but five months? This fact is the more
remarkable because the Board of Education
had charge of the examinations in theory
whereas the practice marks were given
rather arbitrarily by the principal and
training teachers, so that taxpayers have
rather an expensive luxury to pay for.

Ratio of Bows to Girls.

1t Is to be expected that many more girls
than boys will attend the High school, since
at the age of High school pupils boys can so
much more readily find employment at good
wages and are, for various reasons, more
anxious to begin the work OF their life. If
the roll of any High school should show as
many boys az girls it would indicate that n
large proportion of the girls of the city were
attending private schools. The roll of the
Omaha High school for 1923 shows over 40
per cent of boys, which is as large a proper
ton as can reasonably be expected.
This larger percentage of girls is often
commented upon here and elsewhere as if
the falling off in the proportion of bows all
took place in the High school. As a matter
or fact, 1t is quite as noticeable in the four
grades of the grammar school. II happens,
not infrequentIy, that a larger proportion of
boys will be found in the High school than in
the eighth grade of the grammar school.
There is an unfortunate tendency shown
in'many High schools to increase the size of
classes so that a teacher is given charge OF

most foolish economy, practiced much in
tn's country, TO attempt to save money by
the sacrifice OF all true education. The aiuN
IN the Omaha High school has steadily been
TO avoid large classes as far as possible.
Course OF study.
The arrangement of a high school course
OF study that shall be generally satisfactory
is a task of no little difficulty. On the one
side are many who insist that only ''prac-
ticalh studies shall be admitted into the
course, such as shall directly assist the
pupil IN after life in getting u living. They
would have the high school converted into
n trade schoo. or Il commercial school, and
would estimate the value of the school by
Inc number of pupils well prepared by it for
trade or business. On the other hand, there
is u large class comprising most of those
who have given much thought to the true
object, to the philosophy of education, who
NaluC hlgnlS the acquisition OF technical
skij and business knowledge in comparison
with the development of the minds OF the
pupils.
The Omaha High school n~cglccts neither
the practical studies nor those that are con-
sldercd by many AS more truly educational.
IL gives due attention to manual training
with most excellent results its commercial
course has been thoroughly successful and
has fully won its right to exist. The school
gives an excellent preparation for college.
Its graduates are received on certificate by
Cornell, Dartmouth, Williams, Oberlin,

The most important function of n high
school, however, is not to give IA business
education, nor a preparation for college, but
TO offer as complete an education us possible

For tins class an ample course is arranged

the last year the course in English has been
much improved, having been extended SO ae
TO cover four years with daily reCitations,
This Will include a study of rhetoric, Il cares
ful reading of some of the best works OF
English and American authors, and almost

Contrary TO the general belief, the Omaha
High school is not an expensive one. Com

cities it is economically conducted, the ex-
pense per capita being less than in most of
the cities which nave good high schools.

That sherif's sale of clothing has been
beyond all expectations. that is, there
have been volumes OF goods sold, of
course, they being less thar manufac-
turers' cost, but they are getting sold,
and that is all we want. This week as
going to be the banner week OF this
sale. Our prices in the past have been
so low that a certain competitor had an
undershirt marked 75c and claimed he
was selling it at u reasonable price.
When q customer told him that the
same underwear was being sold at
the sheriff's sale for 2jc they
made a bet, put up their money, and
compared the underwear, when sure
enough it was the anne identical goods
bearing the same lot number and made
by the same factory. People who buy
without looking at our goods first are
wasting tt cir money. If you can afford
to do that the way times are, all right.

give you the laugh. Mems leather

WILL MOVE TO DISSOLVE.

city WIN Make n Fight to List aud Tax
burlington Property.
City Attorney Cornell will immcdiatel Y
move on behalf of the city for the dissolving
of the order issued by Judge Dundy upon pc
tition of the Burlington, restraining the city
council from placing upon the assessment
rolls certain property of the company.
The council is sitting as a board of equal
i2ation for the purpose of considering the as
scssed valuations for lS94,taXes. City Clerk
Groves has returned TO the body n list of prop
erty of the companies within the fifty feet
limit of the right of way, which was not
returned by the assessors. This property
has heretofore been returned only to tn"
state board for assessment. Upon the ad-
vice of the city attorney, however, the Coun-
Gil has taken steps to have this property
placed upon the rolls of the city for taxation,
and by so doing several thousand dollars
will be covered into the city treasury. An
attempt to do this last June was fore
stalled by a restraining order secured
by the Union Pacific and issued by
Judge Dundy. The motion to dissolve
filed by the city attorney has never been up
for hearing, and the case has rested. Now
the Union Pacific sets up the claim that the
restraining order prevents the city from
making such Il proposed assessment 70" this
year. as well as last year. Hence it did not
'IlSeh - SSio'S NHN ~ ~
yesterday to show cause why the prop 'rty
should not be placed on the assessment
rolls.
The Burlington resortod TO the same tao
tics as the Union Pacific, securing the re
straining order instead of appearing before
the council Friday. The other roads hav-
ing property returned by the city clerk. and
which were notified to appear Friday,
treated the notice with silent contempt.
These roads are the Missouri Pacific, Rock
Island, Belt Line and the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha. AS these roads have
not deigned to take notice of the proceedings
of the council it is probable that their prop
erty will be placed on the assessment rolls
without further delay, ana their failure to
appear or be represented will be taken as
consenting.
In moving for the dissolving Of the re-
straining orders of both the Union Pacific
and Burlington Mr.. Cornell is confident of
success. He believes that the charter vests
the council with the power to make the pro
posed assessments, and thinks that this point
is so clear that when the facts are presented
to sJudge Dundy he swill Immediately re-
call the restraining order. The papers will
probably be filed not later than Monday
morning.
