Marked Features of Educational

Innovation In Primary
Teaching.

The University Of Nebraska the coming
week will enter upon the second semester
OF the year. Final examinations will be
given and registration will be conducted.
The process of registration has heretofore
been one OF the most cumbersome feats the
faculty has to deal with in view Of the
limited time for the work and the large
number of students who have to be given
cards emitting them to enter certain classes.
Hundreds of young men and women have
heretofore been surging about the registra-
ton hall vainly seeking for an opportunity
to gain access to the particular clerk who
had authority to enter their names. Con-
gestion was unavoidable and the process
was long and tedious. q
Registrar Harrison has evolved a plan
which he thinks will solve the difficulty.
1t is to be tried for the first time this week
and indications are 1t will be successful.
Cards have been issued to students ad-
hitting them to the registrar at certain
definite periods during the week. For each
hour of the week forty-five cards have
been issued. The students will present
themselves at the beginning of the hour at
a certain waiting room and they will be
taken care OF as rapidly as the clerical
force can handle them. The longest pos
sible time a student will wait under the
proposed system will be an hour and the
majority will wait a much less time than
this. Heretofore, with 1000 students surg
ing about the halls waiting for an oppor-
tunity, some students have been Obliged TO
wait a day and even more before being
enabled to inscribe their names where neces-
sary.
There is at least one instance on record
and probably many more II the facts were
known where students have rearranged
their entire courses of study while in the
crush before the registration, simply be-
cause It was so difficult to get to some
clerks. One young Lincoln man entered
the registration hall determined to proceed
In a scientific course at the beginning OF
the year and because the desk of the liter
airy department happened to be free he
registered there and stuck to his registra-
ton plan afterwards.
The new system was evolved by the
registrar after sending TO a number OF
neighboring institutions for information
of theic methods. None seemed to have
a salts factory plan, so this one was de-
vised.

Interest in the state Farm.

The meetings of organized agriculture
have resulted in good to the state farm
connected with the state university.
Wherever possible these meetings have
been arranged for the farm buildings
where laboratories were available and
where 1t was possible to make all dem
onstrations needed. The crowds of
farmers who visit Lincoln year after
year for these gatherings are enabled
to watch the growth of the experiment
station and the progress made in methods
and the success of the plans of the men
in charge. 1t has already resulted in a
cordiality of feeling between the people
of the state and the university anage-
ment. Last week the members OF the
finance ways and means committees
of the two houses of the legislature
visited the farm during the meetings and
members of the Board of Regents at

Washington, March 25.-Those who

GAS EXPLOSION
CAUSES DISASTER
Pennsylvania CoIIiery Scene Of Death
and Ruin.
Seventeen Are Dead and at Least Six
teen Others Injured-Mine Burn
ing FierceIy and Black Damp Pre-
vents Systematic Rescue Work.
Oxygen Tanks Being Used.

Wehrum, Pa, June 24.-As the re.
suit of an explosion of gas in mine No.
of the Lackawanna Coal & Coke com.
pany early today, II miners were kill,
ed and 16 injured. With the exception
of one, those killed were foreigners.
With few exceptions the injured were
Americans.
Inspector Joseph Williams with a
party entered the mine today to ascer.
tain if there were any more victims.
Superintendent A. M. Johns stated
that while the mine has always been
regarded as non gaseous, the explosion
was caused by miners open lamp ig-
hitting a pocket of gas.
The mine is burning fiercely in seve-
raj places and deadly black damp is
pouring from the mouth, effectively
preventing systematic rescue work.
Large quantities of oxygen and many
oxygen tanks have been requested from
the Cambria Steel company of Johns
town, Pa, and the United States gov
ernment mining and testing station at
Pttsburg.
Three men, seriously burned, sue
ceeded in reaching the surface. They
said that following the explosion there
seemed to be flash and then all was
darkness. Calls for help and groans
were heard by them as they made their
way to the entrance, staggering over
the bodies of comrades, who had fallen
with the first shock.

Wednesday, June %.

Washington, June 23.-In unexpect-
edly short order the senate today dis
posed of the lumber schedule and then
agreed upon the rates of duty on pine
apples.
Aldrich asked that the lumber sched-
ule receive first attention. He had no
sooner taken his seat than McCumber,
who has been a persistent advocate of
free lumber, presented an amendment
reducing the finance committees rate
of $1.5O per thousand on sawed lumber
to the house rate of 81 per thousand.
This was recognized generally as a test
proposition, as sawed lumber has been
the bone of contention from the begin
ming. The North Dakota senator did
not find it worth while to enter into
any argument.
The result was smother triumph for
the Aldrich rates, the vote stanoing "a
for and Al against the reduced rates.
1t had been expected that the coal
schedule would be debated at great
length, but it was passed after little
more than an hours discussion. A
new schedule was presented by Aldrich
as chairman of the finance committee,
reducing the house rate on bituminous
coal from 67 cents per ton to 60 cents
and eliminating the house reciprocity
clause.

A BRIEF DAILY REPORT ON
THE WORK OF CONGRESS

the present law, but under the ruling
of the Treasury department is applica-
BILE only to hides weighing more than
25 pounds. The house placed all hides
on the free list.
McLaurin undertook to have the pro-
vision amended so as to make the duty
apply to hides weighing less than 25
pounds, but failed, his amendment be.
ing voted down, 81 to 48. An amend
ment by Stone placing not only hides
but many other products on the free
list was also lost.
Aldrich, on behalf of the finance
committee, brought in the committees g
new lumber schedule and also number
Of amendments relating to lnoeum
and oilcloth. The committee proposed
a rate of $1.50 per 1000 on sawed
umber, 50-cent increase over the
house rates.
:. More than six hours were devoted to
debate, which began with an argument
by McCumber for duty on hides. He
was sustained by Gamble and Hepburn.
They took the position that the effort
to make hides free was solely in the
interest of the manufacturers.

DRY FARM EXPERIMENTS.
Nevada Will Have Exhibit for Coming
Dry Farming Congress.

Billings, Mont, June 22.-Dry farm
ing experiments will be carried on
under the supervision of the state au-
thorities in the northeastern part of
Nevada and when the Fourth Dry
Farming congress meets at Billings
next October 1928 it is expected that
the delegates will hear of great ad-
vances in the reclamation of non-irri-
gable lands in that state.
A commission just appointed by the
governor has just selected site for
a dry farm experiment station in
Pleasant valley, 16 or IS miles south
of Elko, where the ranch of John w.
Thompson, containing 160 acres, has
been secured by the state. The quar-
ter is fenced and about 80 acres are
under cultivation. There is an or
chard of about $50 trees, including
apples, pears, plums and cherries, and
two acre patch of berries are on the
place. The soil is rich and of great
depth and is considered excellently
adapted to dry farming operations. 1t
is reported that Mr.. Thompson last
year raised 1000 sacks of potatoes, and
that all kinds of vegetables gaye good
returns, cabbage heads running as high
as Is pounds.
1t is the purpose of the Nevada Ex-
perimental association to demonstrate
on this farm that dry farming methods
can be applied on the millions of acres
of bench lands in the state.

Winnipeg, Man., June 25. - The
famous case in which the czar of Rus
sia brought action against Ivan Pros
kowreakoff in the Winnipeg courts for
the recovery of large amount of mon
ey was ended today after year and a
half of litigation.
Ivan was a defaulting official in
charge of the administration of a pro-

seconded with more than $1,000,0 000
years ago, made his way through China
and Japan, where he purchased large

ly reached America, opening stores in
San Francisco, Vancouver and Winni-
peg.

The Russian police eventually traced
him to Winnipeg, but when the time
came to make his arrest he was miss

Friday. June 26.

Washington, June 25.-This was an
other of the senate's active working
days and by the time the session closed
at 7 o'clock tonight so many schedules
had been considered and disposed of
that Aldrich freely predicted that by
tomorrow night all would be out of the
way, leaving the senate free to begin
consideration of the corporation tax
and income tax amendments. Begin
ming the session with an increase of 5
per cent over the house rate of 35 per
cent ad valorem on harness, the senate
marched steadily along throughout the
nine hours of its sitting, indulging in
little speechmaking and acting upon
many important provisions. Among
the changes made we're:
An increase of duty on scrap iron
from so cents to $3.50 per ton, thus
placing it on the same level as pig
iron; An increase of one-fourth of a
cent per pound over the house rates on
wire nails; an increase of from a to 6
cents per pound on monazite sand and
other articles used in making gas man
ties; and the substitution of specific
for ad valorem rates on files, rasps, etc.
