COST o F STATE UNIVERSITIES
Chancellor Avery Presents some Fig
urcs for Legislators.
(From a staff Correspondent.)


LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 3.-(special)-At
a meeting of the finance committee of the
house before which appeared the authori-
ties of the state university, 1t was sus-
gested to Chancellor Avery that he send
10 each member of the legislature a state
ment showing what other states appro-
priated for the support of their educational
institutions. This morning each member
of the house received the Information de-
sired. 1t is as follows:
The following table shows the amounts
expended during the year 1907 by a number
of states for higher education in institu-
tions receiving support by taxation. When
a state supports more than one institution
the figur under income opposite the
state represents the sum of the incomes
of its several Institutions. Thus In the
case of Colorado, the figure given repre-
schools, namely, the University, the Asri-
cultural college and the School OF Mines.
In some states, like Illinois and New
York, while the amount spent per student
Is high in comparison with Nebraska, the
amount of money expressed in fractions
OF a mill per dollar of taxable property is
less h In Nebraska for two reasons
first, the property valuation of each or
these states is very great, and second, the
work of higher education is largely done
by private foundations.
The poorer states in general spend more
per studeTt and more per dollar OF true
valuation than the richer states. on the
other hand. some states which maintain
universities of very high rank. like Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, spend not
only more money but more money per
student and more money per dollar of true
valuation than Nebraska does. The only
state that appears on the list as spending
less money per dollar than Nebraska, is
Kansas. This low cost is explained in
part by the large number of students OF
relatively low scholastic attainments In
the agricultural college.
The figures given were obtained from
statistics furnished by the United States
Bureau of Education. except in case OF
the data showing the number of students
per instructor In the non-technical courses.
These figures were obtained from a publi-
cation of the Carnegie foundation. 1t will
be noticed that Nebraska stands at the
head of the list in the number of pupils
per instructor.

Packers Fight Lard Case.

CENTRAL CITY, Neb., Feb. "a case Of
considerable interest is to be tried out at
the term of the district court now in ses-
sion in the city involving some interesting
points under the pure food law. Some time
ago when Harriet MacMurphy, state pure
feod Inspector, visited Central City, she
caused the arrest OF NJ. q. Scudder, A.
Foute. w. w. Moore, G.. c. Agnew and
Charles HuXford, local grocers. upon a
charge Of violating the pure food law by
selling lard in cans in which the weight
was not marked as required by the law.
II seems that these cans of lard are her
metlcally sealed and the contention of the
packers is that they are to be considered
as canned goods. which need not be
marked under the provisions of the law
and are not package goods. So when the
case came up before Judge Peterson in the
county court. Attorney L. ]. Mahoney,
sent out by the Omaha packers and A. p.
Moran, grocers, and upon their advice,
preliminary examination was waived and
each defendent was bound over to the dis
trict court.
