ADVOCATING FREE NEVADA SCHOOL BOOKS
FREE SCHOOL BOOKS should he the principa

FREE SCHOOL BOOKS should be the principal plank in the platform
to which the new members of the next Assembly will be asked to sub
scribe. The reason for making this demand is backed by the experience
Of many other States in the Union, based N the universally recognized
principal that the State W. the children under its supervision the advan-
tage Of a education at cost.
AS the Tribune has said before the whole system of administering the
educational affairs Of the State might be removed with benefit to the pupil
and gain to the teacher. There is too much wasted energy required Of
both parties to the contract. The teachers are overloaded and tn child
rem are oppressed with a burden Of books that is nothing more than the
outgrowth Of the insidious influence Of the School Book Trust. 1t is to
the interest Of that concern to multiply studies and o infict upon the
adoescent mind a impedimenta of literature hat would stagger the
parents of the children who are condemned to the study of such a lot
of superfuous matter.
Let the average parent drop his discussion of politics and mines for
a solitary evening and devote his time o a heart to heart conference with
his little sons and daughters. Let him unupack the knapsack of books
that cucumber the life Of the young ones and go through a few pages of
assert that before he ventures beyond the second or third book he will
surrender to the conclusion that the task of mastering such works is too
great u feat to attempt. Yet, the young folks are expected to cram them
selves with a certain knowledge that may be repeated parrot style, but
without leaving the faintest impression on the youthful intellect.
The whole system is wrong, AMI it would be a feather in the cap of
the Gohfeld School Board II the members rebeled against the e course
of study prescribed by he State. that the comfort and welfare Of the
pupils should receive mor consideration. Let here be a short respite
from work In the nature Of of a brief recess to relieve the Gull ploddng
of the grind and give both boys and girls a few minutes to romp in the
blessed sunlight and strengthen them in their attachment to their studl
es- Godfed Tribune.

An Ugly Rumor--

Yesterday evening there was an
ugly rumor circulating about the
city to the effect that suitcase had
been discovered under one of the
lower district saloons, and containing
the slashed and bloody remains of a
murdered human. The whole yarn
was fairly dripping with gore and
was, as usual with such tales, entirely
improbable. The matter was evident
ly believed by its sponsors, because
they took it to the office Of Police
Chief Gammal, who, to satisfy the
people making the presentment, de-
tailed Officers Linville and Thomp-
son, to investigate the matter and
report. This was done; and the only
substance to the story was that the
men who discovered the grip (de-
voted friends of young Conrad An
der, who has been missing for nearly
two weeks), found blood-stained
canavs grip beneath the saloon Of the
big Swede" on the north side of As
tor street There was nothing in it,

Going Right Ahead

There is nothing the matter with
the proposition Of street improve
ment in Astoria. There are in the
ncighborhood of 30 pieces Of decided
betterment now underway here, in
this behalf. Among the conspicuous
projects are the hill-crest cuts now
being made on Tenth, Fourteenth,
Fifteenth and West Commercial
streets, At the last named, there are
800 cubic yards TO come out, and a
thoroughfare to be made 60 feet in
depth with 1000 yards of dirt to be
removed, and the work when done
will leave a straightaway avenue to
the heart OF Uniontown. All the pro-
jccts are valuable and will prove their
advantage from the very moment OF
their completion

Body Recovered

The body of Sigfrid Nelson, the g.
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Knute
Nelson, who was drowned Friday,
was recovered yesterday near the
place where his boy companions ex-
planned he had fallen overheard
from the bulkhead surrounding the
mill Of the Tongue Point Lumber
Company. 1t seems that young Mel
son had fallen overheard while at
play with two other little fellows,
who were so frightened at the acci'
dent that they ran home without say
ing anything about it, until after they
were questioned by the boys mother
after he had been missing for some
and and she had become seriously
alarmed The arrangements for the
funeral have as yet not been COM
pleted
