The University Of Nebraska will receive
by reason OF the appropriation OF 90 per
cent of the 1-mill levy for the coming
biennium something like $40, 900. In addi-
ton to this there was appropriated 500 900
out of the general fund for the purchase
of ground for drill and for permanent
Improvement. Besides this the university
will receive for its own benefits the cash
fund, which is made up of the matricula-
tion fees and other fees collected hpm the
students, and the government appropria-
lions.
There will be spent under the direction of
the Board Of Regents of the State univer-
sity the $4,000 for the North Platte ex-
perimental station; $4,000 for farmers in
situations. II the new experimental station
is started in western Nebraska II will have
10 be paid for out of the / mill levy as
the governor vetoed this item in the gem
eral appropriation bill.
The only bill affecting the management
OF the State university which the fate leg
islature passed was that providing for the
establishment of a school of citizenship.
rms Dill was originally conceived for the
purpose of forcing the regents to establish
such a school and its inspiration was Mr..
Bryan. The legislature, however. denatured
the measure until 1t finally reached the
governor and was signed in the shape of
merely a request to the regents to establish
the school when. in their judgment. the
same was wise and for the best interest OF
the university.
The bill which was introduced to start
a pension fund for the benefit of the
teachers failed to receive favorable action
and was killed.

EASTER SPIRIT is TOO
MUCH FOR DUG INQUIRE
Unable to Resist Desire for Fine
Attire and Lands in
Hail.

Dug Mcclure who admits that he Is a
waiter and lives at 1922 California street,
has an aesthetic side to his nature which
probably his most intimate friends have
never even suspected. He has developed a
love for the beautiful, IL not for the true
and the good, and in indulging this weak
ness he yesterday got himself into hard
lines.
During the afternoon he went into the
millinery store OF Mrs. F. NJ. Schadell, 1922
Douglas street, and upon his statement that
he was waiting for his wife. was given a
seat in the rear of the store.
Dug sat down and gazed around him
and his beauty-lovins soul was moved to
admiration. There were plumes and
flowers, ribbons and laces and all those
marvellous creations which go TO make
women the fearful and wonderful as well
as the expensive creatures they are.
To appropriate or not to appropriate was
the question which fairly rent the soul Of
Dug" ssunder. Finally his aforesaid love
Of the beautiful conquered. and according
to the story which Mrs. Schadell told the
police, he began to fill his garments with
various and sundry portions OF filmy mer-
chsndise.
An eagle-eyed shop girl detected his fell
design and a shrek of 'shoplifter' broke
upon the a~ffrighted air. Dug reasoned
that he who swipes and runs away may
live to swipe another day. so it was him for
the tall and uncut. But many fair hands
sought to detain him and by the time he
had gotten away from his would-be captors
the alarm had been sounded and the pursuit
began. He ran east to Fourteenth and
Dodge. where officer Aughe happened to
be passing on a car. He gathered Dug
in and took him to the station, where he
vet remains.

partment of Columbia university. That of
William G. MacCallum, who comes to the

professor OF pathological physiology and
lecturer on forensic medicines Mt the Johns

nounced. In the department of the prac-
tice of medicine DIR. Walter b. James has,

the bard profess ship, which involved the
administration of the department, to a
professorship Of clinical medicine, and DR.,
Theodore c. Janeway-- and DR.. Evan NJ.
Evans, now associates in medicine. have
been promoted-Dr.f Janeway to the bard
professorship and DR.. Evans to a newly
created professorship of clinical medicine.
These appointments are of Importance in
the development of the medical school,
not only becauc of the high repute of both
men as clinical teachers. and the oppor-
tunities which they enjoy for clinical work.
but because they emphasize the increas-
ingly close relations which are developing
at the "P. & s." between the so-called
pure science NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., phys
iology. bacteriology and biological chem
istry-on the one hand, and the clinical

WILLIAM EVERETT HURT
BY FALL FROM HIS WAGON
Aged Man Unable TO Handle Fright
ened Animal Running
Away.

William Everett, 2572 Douglas street, and
his wife were painfully although not dan
gerously injured about s o'clock Saturday
night by being thrown from a light wagon
during a runaway on West Farnam street.
Everett was driving a single horse and
at Twenty-sixth street part of the harness
broke. This frightened the animal, which
started to run east down the hill. At
Twenty-fourth and Farnam both Everett
and his wife were thrown out and both
we're badly shaken up.
They were taken into a drug store on
the corner, where first aid was rendered
and both were taken nome in the police
ambulance. The horse continued to run
for a block or more. when 1t was stopped
by officer Risk. Everett is 81 years of
age and this fact maxi his injuries more
serious than they would otherwise be.

BEYOND PUPILS GRASP.
Studies in American schools Criti-
cized by Physicians.

Id I'm American schools Criti-
cized by Physicians.
In discussing the question OF what sub
jects should or should not be taught 10
young children, American Medicine de-
clares that the mental immaturity of school
children is not fully realized by peda.
gogues. 1t 1 sthe almost invariable rule,
the publication asserts, that subjects are
taught several years before the brain is
sufficiently grown to understand them
This, 1t says, is the most serious defect
in our public school system. which in this
respect, really wastes the time OF the stu
dent and the money OF the taxpayers.
Mathematics in the curriculum the
editorial article continues, has invariably
been out of place. for 1t is a science re-
quiring adult brains. Even fractions and
decimals are taught many years before 1t
is possible to understand them.
THE proper age to begin education is
wholly misunderstood. OF course a child
begins to learn the minute II takes its first
breath, and in the first three years it prob
ably learns more than in any other subse-
quent three of it's existence, but it under
stands little OF the phenomena It perceives.
Until IL is 9 or 10 years old it's whole pur-
poses in life is learning its environment,
and sometimes 1t is ten years more before
it really understands the simplest things
1t has learned. II is, therefore,, not at all
strange that If a child is kept out of
school until its brain is fairly well grown.
say until 8 or 10, its subsequent progress
is greater than that of children who must
often unlearn many OF the absurd concep.
tons they formed in the first years of
school life.
I'VE must realize that until o or 10 the
school is merely a nursery to relieve
mothers of the home care OF children. a
species of socialism to which Americans
are welded.
Studies given to these tots must be
postponed until 10 or 10. and subjects now
gwen these children are really appropriate
for the ages OF IA to II, and so on.
Every time a teacher reads absurdities
In examination papers she should realize
that the child is generally too young. and
that the whole system must be changed"

The most thorough tests made in this
country were published ten years ago,
when statistics were taken from many
sources showing the gradual increase In
height and weight of American men and
women.
Then the average height was found to be
about 6Sh inches; chest measurement. IS
inches; with inflated chest. 10 inches; waist,
% inches; hip, 80 inches; thigh. 21h inches;
calf, 141z inches. and weight, $50 pounds.
Then 1t was said that a glance over 10000
college men showed an average increase
in weight for forty years of three pounds
and an average increase in height of an
inch, with the freshmen classes showing
two inches better average than their faith
ers had shown. The average was likewise
shown to have gained an inch in height

HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL COLLEGE
Banquet of New York Institutions
Alumni Next Month.

oht
A notable gathering Of medical men will
be witnessed in New York city next month
when the forty-ninth annual commence
ment exercises of the New York Homeo-
pathic Medical college will be held and the
alumni OF the college will hold their an
nual banquet. For several reasons the two
days program that has been arranged
will be the most interesting in which the
graduates of the college Rave ever par
~ticipated and hundreds of homeopathic
physicians in all parts of the country are
preparing to be in New York on Wednes-
day and Thursday, May u and 10. Many
will spend the entire week in the metrop-
oils, for the college has arranged a spe-
cial clinical week. beginning May 10, to
which all homeopathic practitioners are in
vited without charge.
Among those who have been asked to
attend the commencement exercises and
banquet is DR.. Pierre C. Moriarity OF
Omaha, a graduate of the college Of the
class of 'SS.
The commencement exercises and banquet
mark the conclusion of the first year Of
the administration of Dean ROYAL s. Cope
land, who gave up his position at the
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor a
year ago to accept the responsibility of
the management of the New York Homeo-
pathic Medical college. Homeopathic all
over the country were greatly interested
in DR.. Copeland's selection. and the sue
ccssful termination of his first year of
duty will be made an occasion for celebra-
ton. Another fact that is giving interest
to next months gathering is that 1t will
be the last general assemblage of the
graduates before the semi-centennial cele-
bration next year, and plans will be put
under way at this meeting for an elab-
crate commemoratlon nexr year OF the
college achievements in its half century
OF existence.
Still another point that is interesting the
alumni outside Of New York city Is the
new automobile ambulance service which
has been established at Flower hospital.
The hospital, which has been conducted in
connection with the college for nearly
thirty years. is one Of the leading institu-
lions OF the metropolis. 1t assumed re-
sponsiblIty recently for caring for the
victims of accidents and sudden illness in
a remarkably large part of the city. In
order TO care for this great section II has
established an automobile ambulance serv-
ice which is said to be the finest In the
world and which Is attracting the atten-
ton OF medical men everywhere. Hun
dreds of the graduates will have their
first opportunity TO inspect this new serv-
ice next month.
The program provides for commencement
exercises at Mandelssohn hall or Wedpes-
day evening, May II, and reunion OF the
classes OF "a. SO. "a and 80 the same even
ing al various places about the city. Next
day the Alumni association will hold its an

American Giants.

Love OF Athletics breeding n Race of
American Giants.
The American citizen of the future is 10
be a giant, according TO the statistics Of the
athletic instructor. while his sister is to
be a very sturdy lassie.
DR.. Born, medical director Of the Yale
gymnasium, made public recently the 1908
statistics of development in the university.
For the comparisons 500 athletes from the
crew, the foot ball and base ball teams,
the track men and the student athletes
generally were measured.
The general average is compared with
the average taken in 1903, and the 1903
averages are generally higher than had
been anticipated. The new college man has
grown an inch and one-hah in five years.
He has gained twenty-seven pounds in
weight, and has seventy-two cubic inches
more lung capacity than his prototype of
five years before.
The list bears out the assertion. COM
monty made during recent years, that the
American man was becoming greater ply
sically than any known race Of men have
ever been.
The comparative measurements given out
by DR.. Brown are:
