A Correction.

OMAHA, Sept. 2S.-To the Editor of The
Bee: The press of Omaha can bear witness,
/ think, that in the thirty odd years / have
lived here | have never shown any anxious
disposition tn nETe my sermons reported.
This was not due to any special excess Of
modesty, but rather to the feeling that a
brief report of even the very best sermon
is of very little profit, and of the average
sermon 1t is of no profit whatever. But I
confess that II l am reported at all, / do
not like to be made to say the very oppo-
site of what l did say. In your brief re-
port of my sermon on Sunday last you
make me say that a priest should not mag
nifty his office. But that was to make me
run counter to st. Paul, which thing ! most
certainly would not care to do. l said a
priest should magnify his office, since It
is not his own, but the gift OF God. But a
priest, said, should not magnify himself
to make himself a lord over Gods people.
He should serve. Your reporter made me
say that a priest had no sacrifice to offer.
But a priest who had no sacrifice to offer
would not be a priest at all. / said the
very opposite Of that. This correction may
appear trivial, yet If reported at all one
naturally desires to keep the record straight.

Europe is Mad
Over Aviation
People on Continent Talk of Little

Baldrige.

Europe Is aviation crazy" said r.. a.
Baldrige, who, with Mrs. Baldrige. has
just returned from a seven weeks tour Of
the continent. You hear of nothing in
the large cities but airships and aviation.
People seem to think of very little else but
the latest exploits Of the flying machines.

newspaper, has the Bleriot airship which
was the first to cross the English channel.
on exhibition in front of its office and
it is surrounded by a crowd continually.
The New York Herald Paris edition prints
little else than aviation news and stories
about the Peary-Cook controversy"
Mr.. Baldrige, with Fred Fl. Davis. spent
several days at the aviation contests at
Rheims. They met DR.. Bridges in Germany
and Mrs. Barkalow and Mrs. Warren Rog-
ers and daughter In France.

WHY STATE CAN'T ADVERTISE
1t Has No Money for That Purpose,
Maupin Tells the Omaha
Ad CIub.

State Labor Commissioner WIN NJ. Mau-
pin told the members of the Omaha Ad
club why Nebraska has not been better
advertised, at the regular fortnightly noon
meeting of the club.
Kansas" said he, has two bureaus,
with twenty-slx employees and an annual
appropriation of slO2, 900. Nebraska has the
state labor commissioner and one steno-
grapher and an annual outlay Of s.. 500.
I'VE harvest more wheat per capita than
does Kansas and more corn per acre than
any other state. The Nebraska hen gives
a product annually worth 1900, 900 more
than the total gold and silver from the
mines of Colorado. Omaha is the greatest
butter market in the world and two years
from now its prices will be quoted instead
Of those at Elgin."
After stating these and other impressive
facts regarding the agricultural resources
of Nebraska, which the speaker said we're
far and away ahead Of Kansas, he pro-
ceeded TO explain why these facts are not
better known. The reason in short lay In
the nlggardly way in which the leKisla-
ture has provided for publicity. Maupin
closed with a plea to the Omaha Ad club
to help make the next legislature do some
thing along this line.

FIX new BOULEVARD ROUTE
Park Board Decides on Proposed
North Central Thoroughfare.
OLD PLAN PROVED TOO COSTLY
New Line win Run Between Thirty
Eighth and Thirty-FIrst streets
and - Said to he High and
slightly Course.

The route Of the proposed North Central
Boulevard to connect Bemis park at Thir-
ty-elghth and Lincoln boulevard with a
prospective boulevard to Fontenelle park
was established by the park board in a res
olution passed at the meeting yesterday
afternoon.
From here It may be continued in any
one Of the three directions to Fontenelle
park, northward west Of Fort Omaha to
the Florence heights. or eastward to Levi
Carter park. The cost Of the section about
to be built Will be close to $4,000.
The route runs west of the old course
which had to be abandoned on account OF
the expense. 1t worms its way around the
hills between Thirty-eighth and Thirty
first streets and is said to be a high and
slightly course.
With the adoption Of a resolution pre-
scented by Mr.. Miller. Cutoff lake as such
ceased to exist. The resolution changed
the name to Carter in recognition Of the

and the river.
Mr.. Cornish said some time in the near
future 1t would be advisable to dredge
out this marsh and create there a small
body OF water which could be entirely
surrounded by trees. This, he said, could
appropriately be named Lake Nakoma.
The other members Of the board pledged
themselves to further this Dlan and when
the time came to use their influence to
have 1t named Lake Nakoma.

avenue, somewhere between Thirty-third
and Thirty-siXth streets. A request that
this be done vas contained In a letter to
the board from John w. Battin, who said
the tree was planted by some friends of
Mr.. Moores on his induction into the office
Of mayor. The board voted to comply
with the request and the tree will be re-
moved as soon as the ground freezes.
Dredging work at Garter lake will begin
this week, the big dredge being almost

-OLLINS DISTRICT
SCHOOL CROWDED
VICINITY BECOMING SETTLED
School Begins With Few Pupils. Now
Too Many.
(Ault Specially

NAutt opCSAhi.J
There was a called meeting at the
Collins district school house Friday
night which was well attended and
at which various subjects pertaining
to the welfare OF the district were
discussed. When the annual school
meeting was held last spring it was
decided to vote to build another
school house in the northern part
of the district. as the children living
there have four or five miles to go
to school.
When the school census was taken
last spring there were twenty-five
children of school age in the district.
During the summer several of these
moved away: the school house was
built, however. and school began in
the new building in October.
Up to the holidays neither OF the
teachers. c. G. Swope. who teaches
in the brick school house. nor Miss
Bertha Christopher. who teaches in
the new building. we're at all bur-
dened with the school duties imposed
upon them. But the first of the
year several land deals were made
in the district, new families came in.
the schools began to fill up, and now
the time OF both teachers Is taken
to the fullest extent in order to prof.
erly care for the pupils.
New seats and desks have been
purchased and everything done to
facilitate matters. but the older pu-
pills are sometimes compelled to as
sist the teachers. On one section
and a half o, land. on which formerly
there were but three children. there
are now thirty-five children. eighteen
of whom are Of school age.
