The Board Of Education OF Boone county

near he can come to rating the corn. The
judges are to be chosen from the faculty
OF the College OF Agriculture and various
prizes contributed by the merchants and
school teachers OF the county will go to the
winners. The girls will compete in needle

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORE
Passing Of Little Red School House"
from New England's Landscape.
CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS THE RULE
High Results Expected from AsricuI'
.turnl COLLEGE Graduates-Activ-
titles Of UnIversities-Edu-
cational Notes.

The little red school house. with all
its hallowed associations, has become al
most a memory in New England. where
II originated and flourished for three
quarters of a century. The color d~esigna-
ton is q misnomer. Very few were painted
red, most of them we're splotched with
ochre, some were white and many were
painless. So firmly, were they rooted In
popular estimation that it required nearly
forty years to seal their doom. In 1869
Massachusetts started the movement for
consolidation Of small schools by passing
a law authorizing the consolidation OF
school districts and the levying of a tax
to defray the expenses of transporting pu-
pills to a central school, me law remained
a dead letter for years, but as time moved
on the necessity for consolidation became
apparent and patrons gradually yielded to
the demands of progressive teachers. In
recent years consolidation moved along by
leaps and bounds. the chief impelling force
being the extension OF trolley lines through
out the country, affording prompt and reg
ular means Of conveyance.
In place OF the little red school house.
uncomfortable and. inefficient, appears tho
central graded school, equipped with mod
ern facilities, comfortable and presided over
by a staff of efficient teachers. From
Massachusetts the spirit of educational
progress spread throughout adjoining
states, producing satisfactory results every
where. The modern system includes high
schools, which link Il with the university,
and the normal schools, IN which teachers
are trained. The subjects taught have been
greatly widened, there are Industrial and
trade schools. agricultural schools and man.
ual training. Consolidation is only part OF
an advance which has brought summer asrl
night schools, technical courses, labora-
tory work and nature, study.
THE conditions OF education" says the
Boston Herald. commenting on the result,
have been enormously improved by con-
solidation. The comfort and convenience
of the modern primary and grammar school
buildings multiply the scanty structural ar
rangements OF the district school by a large
factor. Most of the new high schools are
almost palatiai in their magnificence.
There is a care for the health OF the pupil
unknown fifty years ago. Ventilation, the
sufficiency and incidence of light, even the
hygienic character of the seats and desks,
are all matters Of solicitude in the modern
school.
without consolidation. such develop
ments as medical inspection and the en-
ployment Of school nurses would have been
impossible. Add to all these benefits the
advantages OF free tuition. free textbooks
and free conveyance, and it Rill be seer
that. Instead Of being a cause for lament,
the passing of the little red school house
ushers the educational system Of New Eng.
land into a life. OF larger efficiency and
richer yield than 1t has ever known in
the past"

Declaring that in it's opinion the rates
charged to the small consumers should be
reduced. that 5 cents per 1000 gallons to
some large consumers was relatively too
low and that there should be certain re-
auctions and notifications in the meter
rates and in some particulars in the fla
rates, the Omaha Water board yesterday
afternoon adopted a new schedule Of water
rates for consumers in the city Of Omaha
The secretary was instructed to serve a
certified o Of the new schedule on the
officials Of the Omaha Water company.
the new schedule bearing on its face the
order to place the new rates in effect on
January !. 1905.
The new rates were adopted by the board
in the ninth meeting of that body called
for that purpose. At the first meeting the
officials OF the company were asked to be
present and show cause why new rates
should not be made. The officials an
swered the summons OF the board and
were present, but refused TO show cause
why a change should or should not be
made. claiming that the board was with
out Jurisdiction. The board then asked the
company to submit its books and records
for the purpose of having a basis from
which to figure a schedule OF rates. This
being refused, the board secured what in.
formation Il could from other sources and
made up the new schedule as best II
could.

Wants to Avoid Compromise.

While the new schedule OF water rates
contain an explicit order on the company
to comply with the boards ruling, the
board in a committee report adopted prior
to the adoption OF the schedule. declared
that it's action cannot and must not be
construed SO as to compromise the board In
any way. One paragraph of the committee
report. touching on this matter. says:
This report and recommendation is not
made in recognition Of any rights claimed
by the Omaha Water company to occupy
the streets of the city of Omaha since Sep
tember 4, 1908, or hereafter to occupy the
streets of the city OF Omaha, or to have,
collect, or receive since September 4 1903,
or to hereafter collect and receive the
water rates set down in ordinance No. as.
but is intended to fix and determine what
the Water board, under and by virtue OF
the powers in 1t vested. judge and deter
mine to be reasonable compensation for the
water which the Omaha Water company
may deliver to private consumers pending
the period of time that may elapse between
this and the final termination of the pro-
ceedings under the election of the city Of
Omaha to purchase the water works, unless
otherwise ordered and directed by the
Water board in the meantime"

RICH ORE INCREASES BULLION
VALUE DESPITE DECREASE
IN TONNAGE.
MILLS ARE KEPT BUSY
ONLY SHORT MONTH PREVENTS
THE BREAKING OF ALL
RECORDS.

Cripple Creek, Colo.-The total ton
mage shipped from the Cripple Creek
district during September amounted to
67.313 tons with bullion value OF ST.
S96.0S0. These results are considered
remarkable for the fact that while the
-onnags shows a decrease of 1873 tons
under that for August the bullion value
shows an increase OF $65.316.
This change is largely due to the
fact that the smelters treated much
larger tonnage of an average value Of
SCI a ton. This shows that the higher
grade ore still exists in abundance at
depth. In particular the Portland mine
has cut several veins OF ore at a depth
of 1900 feet. all OF which will ship
at better than three ounces. one carry
ing an average value OF five ounces.
The fact that September only allowed
twenty-nine days production on ac-
count Of Labor Day indicates that with
a full month all records for tonnage
would have been broken.
All Of the local mills with only two
exceptions have been operating at full
capacity. The ore treated in the dis
trict aggregated 1880 tons OF fair
grade. Now that the Portland COM
pany has erected an experimental
plant on its Battle mountain property.
1t is only a question OF time before
5O0ton mill will be constructed to treat
the immense dumps containing over
1000. 900 tons and also the low-grade
ore produced from the mine.
The figures as given out by the var
ious mill and smelter officials follow:
