One Of the many bodies into which Ne
braskans have organized themselves is the
State Association Of County Commission
ers, which recently met in Omaha for It's
annual conference. This organization is
especially active during legislative years,
for then 1t finds opportunity to present to
the lawmakers changes which county COM
missioners would like to see made in the
statutes. In the present instance there
are a number Of these. For ex-
ample, some Of the counties Of the state
are organized under townships, with boards
of supervisors, and others are organized
into commissioner districts, with commits
sicners to look after the affairs of the
county. For the supervisors the law pre-
scribes a two-years term, and for the COM
missioners a three-years term. Some effort
to secure uniformity Of tenure Of office is to
be made. Other similar matters are to be
presented to the legislature by the proper
committees Of the organization. During the
stay in Omaha the MEMBERS OF the asso-
citation lined up for a photograph.

just winding up their work in the grammar
grades and preparing to enter the High
school. In addition to their regular school
work they have taken up the study of the
English drama, and have, with the assist

in the reading Of Shakespeare and other
classical works. One of the objects of the
club is to give practical illustrations of
what the members have learned by their
studies, and to this end plays suitable to
their uses are presented in part from time
to time at the home of one or another of
the members.
