FATHER SEXES HIS OWN SON
IL then Arrested ON Charge of Kid
napine, Preferred by HIS
wife.

George F. Taylor. a painter residing at
s25 Avenue d. Council Bluffs, was arrested
yesterday by Detectives Heitfeid and
Donohue. charged with kidnapping. He was
locked up in the matron's room at police
headquarters.
When taken to the station Taylor stated
that Thursday he went to his work, leav-
ing, as he supposed, happy home. only to
return at noon and find that his wife, Ger
tie, had left and taken with her their
4-year-old son, Raymond. He found Mrs.
Taylor at the home of her mother, Mrs. j.
P. Hammond, 7O7 Pacific street. in this city.
Taylor went to the Hammond home yes
terday and picked up his little son, who
was playing In the front yard. Before he
could catch car and leave the vicinity the
mothers screams and the assistance Of the
neighbors caused him to be overtaken by
the ofncer and arrested.
THE whole trouble is caused by too much
mother-in-law,' he said at the station.
while crying bitterly. "Gertle was happy
until her mother caused her to return
home. / earn good wages, provide well for
my family and only want her to return and
her mother to let US alone. She has caused
the trouble"

SCHOOL OFFICERS TO JOIN
Plan is to Organise Directors Of County
in an Association.
FOR UNIFORMITY IN BOOKS AND COURSE
County superintendent Calls Meeting
for Saturday, April Is, to see
what Can BE Done for
Country Scholars.

Some OF the school officers OF Douglas
county are Of the opinion that II would be
beneficial for all such officers to join in a
formal organization, and r. ]. Bodwell,
county superintendent of public instruction,
who looks upon the proposition with favor,
has Issued a call for a meeting at the
county court house Saturday, April Is. In
each Of the sixty school districts in Doug
las county there Is a director, a moderator
and treasurer and the $50 men so titled
will be urged to attend the meeting. One
Of the promoters of the project said:
The school officers Of this county have
had two annual meetings previously, and It
Is time for q third But this one we hope
to make unusual Heretofore we have dis
cussed school affairs in a general way; now
we want to take them up in such manner
that we will derive the benefit Of more con-
certed action.
"One topic, after we have effected some
sort OF organization, will be uniformity of
text books. Twenty-Five other counties in
Nebraska that have these organization have
considered this matter with the result that
list of approved text books has been
adopted, whereas in Douglas county each
school makes it's selection without regard
to books used in other schools, and practi-
cally every text book printed is in use
somewhere within the eounty's lines. The
result is that when a family removes from
one district to another, as happens very
often, the children entering the new school
find themselves lost and II requires from
a week to a month for the teacher to get
them located and In touch with what the
rest Of the class are doing. II the same
text books were used all over the county
scholar could change from one school to
another with much less inconvenience.
I'm this connection, too, there will be
discussed a uniform course Of study for
reasons which may be inferred from what
have juat said of the uniform text book
plan. True, there is a state course OF
study, but necessarily 1t is made very gen.
eral and by its generality it is rendered Of
little real help to the average county
teacher.
Still another topic that needs considera-
tion and a general understanding is the
status and the duties Of the truant ofAcer
Directors dread to mix in the affairs Of
their neighbors and will not do so to any
greater extent than they absolutely have
to- legislative enactments to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
''These are the principal propositions that
will come before county association II It
be organized, and that It can do good I am
! led to belieye by the experience of the
| twenty-five similar organizations In other
Nebraska counties"
