State Normals Now Used as High

The following communication from
Senator Randall appeared in the Lin
coin Evening News:
To the Editor: | noticed in your is
sue of the 18th an editorial comment
on senate file No. $50, introduced by
me, raising the qualifications of en-
trance into the normal schools of this
state from the eighth to the tenth
grade.
am constrained to believe that you
have not investigated present condi-
tons that exist or you would not have
written as you did in regard to it. If
you will take the trouble to obtain an
educational directory of Nebraska for
the years 1906 and 1907 you will find
that there are twenty-five schools OF
the eighth grade, siXty-seven of the
ninth, one hundred and seventeen of
the eleventh, and one hundred of the
twelfth.
There are only two state normal
schools supported by this state, and
the capacity of both combined is about
twelve hundred, and as these normal
schools are now being conducted they
are nothing more than state high
| schools and should be so considered
unless the standard of entrance is
raised to at least the tenth grade.
had intended at first thought to make
the requirements the twelfth grade
but upon investigation | found that the
tenth would be just about one-half o
the scholars in this state who had en-
tered the high school course anC
would be more equitable and at the
same time raise the standard so tina
the abuse that has been creeping il
would be partially overcome.
Why, sir! Do you know that PERI
has not maintained a high school 70
years! While other districts in thii
state are being taxed to maintain
schools of the ninth, tenth, eleventh
and twelfth grades the good people o
Peru are having their children educat
ed at the expense of the state and witt

STREET PAVING IS NEXT
PETITION GOES TO COUNCIL NEXT
THURSDAY NIGHT.
MAYOR WANTS ANOTHER BLOCK
The Petition Asking That Norfolk Az
enue be Paved From First to Sixth
Street is to be Presented Next Thurs.
day-Hope for Work in Summer.

The petition asking that Norfolk av-
enue be paved will be presented to
the city council at it's meeting next
Thursday evening.
This petition was circulated last fall
by C. e. Burnham and A. II. Kiesau,
who gave two days of their time to
the cause, and enough signatures of
property owners were secured to COM
ply with the law and make legal an
ordinance which it is asked that the
city council pass. This petition pro-
vided for paving between First and
Sixth streets.
1t is possible that another block may
be added to this paving district by an
other petition, as many desire that the
block between Sixth and Seventh
streets, which is occupied by railroad
tracks, shall also be paved. Mayor
Friday is in favor of this and says
| that he shall insist that this block be
paved as well as the portion from
First to Sixth streets.
| The petitioners are anxious that an
ordinance be passed SO that paving
may be done during the coming sum-
mer.
