NORMAL SCHOOL Law Is BAD
New Act Does Not Give New Board
Power to Spend Money.
DEMOCRATS MAKE GREAT MUDDLl
May he Necessary 60 Go Into Courts
90 Get Authority TO Conduct
Sch0OIs--wayne Normal
Involved.
tFrom a staff correspondent.l

LINCOLN, April 9.--(Specisl Jim their
zeal to make political foot ball out OF the
normal schools bf the state, the members
of the late democratic legislature certainly
overstepped the mark to such an extent
that II will be necessary to go into court
to straighten out the tangle
This piece of legislation is probably the
worst constructed of any that passed.
The law creates a Normal Board of
Education" aboiishos the state board OF
ed lcation and yet leaves the handling of
the funds to the state board OF education
to organize and Yet Governor Shallenberger
has taken II upon himself TO cal! the new
board to meet next Wednesday for the
purpose of affecting an organization. The
bill gives to the normal board of deucation
control and direction of the normal edu-
cation of the state. including normal
schools and Junior normals." This means
this new board has the power over the
teachers college In the state university;
the normal training in Wesleyan college
and in all other schools of Nebraska
wherein normal training is taught.
The new law repeals two sections only
OF the present school laws: sections / Of
subdivision 13 which provides that the
normal schools shall be under the con-
troll OF the state board of education. which
shall consist of five members appointed
by the governor and the state supernten-
dent and state treasurer. The other sec
tion is % OF the same subdivision which
placed the junior normals under the direc-
tion of the state superintendent. No other
sections in the law is repealed
Old Board Abolished.
The the law is now tha Gtata poo.a
of Education has been abolished and yet
this is the board which has to do with the
funds There is not one word in the new
law giving authority to the Normal Board
of Education to spend one dollar of the
state money.
The new law and the old law conflict in
numerous instances. While the new law
gives the Normal Board of Education alb
solute power to control normal education
nthe state 1t does not repeal section . Of
subdivision s. which gives authority to the
state superintendent 10 organize normal
Institutes
The new law does not repeal section Ia
OF subdivision 9, which gives authority to
the state superintendent to issue certificates
to graduates Of the university and COL
leges which come up TO a certain REQUIRE
ment,
The new law does not repeal sections 6,
Z and or subdivision 9. which provides
for the issuance Of certificates and exam
nations by the board of trustees of COL
leges and normal schools and the state su-
perintendent.
In addition to these there are about one
dozen other sections which conflict with
the new law and which are not repealed.
When the new Normal Board Of Educa-
ton files a voucher with the state auditor
for warrant for the expenditure OF state
money then probably will come the test Of
the law. Under the law the auditor has no

The storm center that was near
the Ohio valley yesterday has adj
vanced rapidly to the coast of New
England. Within the last "a hours
precipitation has been somewhat
scattered from middle Canada, the
Missouri valley and the middle of
the Rocky Mountain region to the
Atlantic coast, with heavy precipi-
tation reported from the District
of Columbia to over New England.
High winds were reported on Lake
Erie. Moderately low pressure is
near southern California. Follow
ing the eastern storm center high
pressure from the north Pacific,
with crest now over Washington,
has rapidly overspread most of the
western half of the country, result
ing in a prevalence of fair weather
and lower temperatures over the
section under it's influence, with
much colder weather in eastern
Montana, South Dakota and Colo
RADIO. Temperatures in the Pacific
states are about normal. Fair
weather is expected tonight and
Wednesday in this vicinity, with

Editor The Spokane Press: The
manner in which the police and
judicial authorities of this city
are handling the. l. w. w. affair
indicates what the well known
author, A. Conan Doyle, has writ
ten of as being the root of Amer
lean. dissatisfaction, namely, con-
tempt for our own laws. This Is
nest clearly shown whenever the
working classes dare to imagine
that they can apply the constitution
in defense of any line of action in
which they are interested as work
ers, such as the prevention of child
labor or the demand for a shorter
workday or for the adoption of any
rule which would in any way de-
duct from the profits of the en-
ployer. 1t seems strange that in
this countrya there should be such
a thing as two distinct classes, but
there are, and it is the fault of the
rich alone, for they have created
the distinction by bribing the pub
lie servants and the counts to deny
the rights of the people.
Now, in regard to speaking on
the public streets, i must say that
judging from what l have seen in
Seattle and other cities, that it is

is permitted Unfortunately there

block arguing and lecturing upon
every possible subject OF which
they are usually ignorant, and the
only thing they accomplish is to
add to the general confusion, which
is already too great in our modern
life. Therefore, in the Interest Of
peace and quietness I believe that
il the 1. w. WIS have a message
to deliver they should invite those
that wish to listen to, them to their
halls. The fact that these men
may be wrong does not, however,
justify the police In their inhuman
treatment of them. Another and,
l believe, a better way could have
been found to show them their
error without starving and freezing
them; but as it is an easy matter
to pinch" an l. w. w. no one will
interfere if they are abused. The
police, apparently, are glad of the
opportunity to show their zeal in
enforcing the law against the
''reds," as they call them. Mean
while in. the outlying streets of the
city the .holdup man plies his trade
with impunity, and their victims
can console themselves for the abb
sence of police protection with the
knowledge that the wicked" I. w.
WIS are on the run. With best
| wishes, i remain, yours truly,
