Educational.

The North Nebraska Teachers associa-
ton was not 50 largely attended this
year as usual owing to the fact that a
general convention of teachers is to be
held at Omaha the last Of June. One
hundred and eighty teachers and super-
intendenLs we're enrolled.
An e1eellent program was rendered
and mnch interest manifested In the
papers and discussions.
Superintendent Williams read paper
on Thursday afternoon on The Place of
ApperceptiOn in Education which was
well received. and on Friday was unani-
mousiy elected president of the associa-
ton for the coming year.
The subject of suppressing the indi-
vidualIty OF children was discussed at
some length by Sup't Miller OF Fremont,
and DR.. Sherman OF the state university
read very fine paper on the teaching of
literature IN the schools. DR.. Sherman
ranks as one Of the very best teachers Of
literature In this country.
The question of free text books was
discussed at considerable length The
majority favored the continuance Of the
system, while q few were opposed to it
On the ground that it had materially
lowered the wages Of teachers or had
shortened the term Of school.
The paper read by Mr.. Beck, deputy
state superintendent, disclosed the fact
that the state course Of study has been
adopted and is in use in most counties
Of Nebraska. and it is great benefit to
the schools.
The city Of Norfolk has just voted an
additional 3l1,OO0 in bonds for the pur-
pose OF building another ward school
house. Two or three years ago the city
built high school building at a cost Of
about $DO0a The present bond issue
carried BY lair majority. Norfolk has
twenty teachers in the city schools.

The assessors In most Cf the counties
Of the state have agreed to assess prup
erty At about one-fifth OF its value. H0v
do they reconcile tins with the Law they
swear 70 observe which says all property
shall be assessed at its actual cash value
u conundrum the Reporter would hkl
to see answered
The same question which puzzles the
Madison Reporter has been put before,
and doubtless will be asked many times
again before the law shall Be complied
with in both its spirit and its letter.
The whole revenue system needs over.
hauling. because it is very defective in
many ways, bat the statutes Themselves
are very much better than their enforce

1t has been the custom for several
years noT for assessors to get together
IN their respective counties and agree
upon a rate at which they will place the
assessabie property Of their respective
localities.
There Is no law requiring such q meet

Reporter would ask each assessor in
Madison county for a separate answer,
he would be told that. for the purposes
OF taxation, each mans right Is secured
when he il not assessed at higher rate
than others
II each one Of a thousand men owns
$1,000 worth OF property, and the actual
state OF affairs u justly placed on the
books, and each one then pays the same
amount u taxaAL ths Ian would have

But men do not own the same amount
Of property; they do not own the same
kinds or classes Of property; men are
not possessed Of the same desire to do
yen-handed Justice by the public in
terests, or Of the same shrewdness in
beating around the requirements Of the
law. and it is IN this part Of the system
where the mischief Is DONE
II the same classes Of property were
valued alike In the different townships
OF county, other things being equal,
the county taxes as a burden would bear
the same would be true Of state
taxes, under like conditions.
But We all know, at least those of MS

ferent counties, that the variations are
often out of all reason.
We notice that real estate in Madison
county is to be One-fifth the cash value;

cost Of shipping.
Land in Platte Is to be valued at Sl.OO
to 800; fat cattle $500 to $1,000. All
corn held for speculative purposes
should be assessed. and all cattle or
other property in the possession of any
one other than the owner thereof. shall
be listed for assessment by the party in

owner Of the same.
