TEACHING PLUMBING TO GIRLS.
Proposed Innovation I'm ChicaE


Proposed Innovation I'm Chicago
Public schools.
A pleasant surprise Is in store for the
girls of Chicago when they go back to
school on September 6. A nice little course
In plumbing has been mapped out for the
benefit of girls as young as IL years. There
are such topics in the curriculum as ''Why
is plumbers bill so larger" From where
does the water come and how does It get
to the kitchen?"
80 many girls know no more about the
water and gas used in kitchens than turn
the faucet and the water flows or the gas
is ready to light" said Mrs. Ella F1agg
Young. in telling of the new course In a
Chicago Tribune interview. I'VE want
them to know more about these matters
from a sanitary viewpoint"
The last expression will dispel fear of the
girls that they will have TO don plumbers
garments and go poking about horrid eel
lars, welding wrenohes and soldering irons
while busy lodging spiders and figuring
out the bills. The course is to be known as
that Of sanitary science. and will be part
Of the domestic science instruction.
Pupils will be required to master such de-
tails as how the water and gas are dis
tributed through mains to houses, then to
kitchens, how connections are made and
similar things.
With a proper understanding of these
matters together with q knowledge of how
the waste water Is carried away, II is
thought the students will be better equipped
to keep kitchens over which they may rule
in the future in more sanitary condition.
At the same time they will be armed with
knowledge that may save them money by
avoiding the necessity Of calling in the
-. =.
The domestic science COZ =" and the man
ual training will begin =. .ower grades
Sewing will start in the fourth grade, man
ual training in the fifth and cooking in the
sixth. Girls Of II will be expected to learn
how to make bread that can be eaten and
pass muster when examined by culinary
experts. They also must learn how to do
all kinds of plain cooking. The boys will
learn how to use the saw ana hammer.

Corn Crop is
Coming Along
Very Nicely
Information Gathered by the United
States National Bank is Most
Encouraging.

The United States National bank has
been busy getting crop statistics from
bankers out In the state whose business
necessarily keeps them particularly well in
formed in regard to the crop outlook in
their immediate vicinity. Mr.. Caldwell,
vice president Of the bank, sent out 900
letters to as many bankers in the state of
Nebraska and their replies indicate that
unless Jack Frost puts in an earlier ap-
pearanoe than usual in September, the corn
crop this year will in volume be almost
the same sized crop that Nebraska usually
produces, more particularly II we have
warm and dry weather during the next two
weeks. The information covered not only
every county but every banking town in
each county. The answers to all the uues-
tons were tabulated by counties and then
averaged, each county separately, and the
report upon the whole crop outlook shows
that Nebraska has wheat crop OF extra
ordinary good quality and in amount equal
to the average crop The same excellent
condition also applies to oats both as TO
quantity and quality.
The reports upon the corn crop are rar-
ticularly gratifying because they place that
crop, as of September 1. barring early
frosts, as almost average yield which.
with the wheat and oats, gives the state
a grain output largely exceeding in amount
and value the crop Of 1909.

Educational Notes.

Chicago schools will have an increased
seating capacity of about 1000. Three new
schools Will be used for the first time.
Instruction in farming as a part of the
public school curriculum is advocated by
the Pennsylvania Department of Public In
struction at Harrisburg, according to dis
patches from that place. The department
is further said to urge that a course in
agriculture be adopted not only in rural
schools, but in those of large cities.
Miss Sallie Brannan of Masillon, o., has
ire record of having taught sixty-two COM
secutive years in that town. She retired
She says that when she went to the ex-
amner to get certificate, he said to her,

She answered correctly and was engaged at
a salary OF 81 week.
There is law In Indiana against high
school fraternites, yet the organizations

such as the inclusion in their number of a

assisted in some instances by the school
authorities. The Indianapolis News while
the convention was in session, pointed the

to disregard all laws.

Social Features
of Tel Jed Sokol
Greatly Enjoyed
Dance Saturday Night in Which Fully
One Thousand Persons
Participate.

The social Saturday evening at the Tel
Jed Sokol hall on Thirteenth street fuu-
ished a most suspicious opening for the
first annual festival of the Bohemians OF
Nebraska. The threatening weather of tho
afternoon and early evening undoubtedly
cut down the number Of those present, but
Al II resulted, the large hall was comfort
ably filled and over Loo guests spent the
evening at the hall.
The long program Of dances was started
a few minutes before o'clock with
grand march In which all present partici-
mated. Chleborads orchestra Of twelve
piecea furnished music for the dancing.
The hall had been very tastcfully decor
ated for the occasion. From the center OF
the ceiling long streamers, alternately Of
red and white, the Bohemian national
coiors, were strung to the balcony railing.
while this railing throughout its entire
length was hung with festoons Of red and
white. interspersed frequently with Ameri-
can flags The effect was a pretty one
and under the brilliant lights the hall
presented a gala appearance. Late In the
evening q very substantial lunch was
served by the committee in charge and II
was we'll into the morning before the COM
pany broke up.
Those Of the large crowd who were
younger enjoyed the program Of dances
which had been arranged, while the older
people engaged in conversation and the
recounting OF experiences met with In
younger days across the water.
Sundays program includes parade

hall at 1;3o p. M, and move over line OF

the evening a Bohemian play Is TO be pre-
scented at the hall as scheduled Monday is

great many Of the states Bohemians
arrived in Omaha Saturday afternoon and
were on hand at the first event of the
festival, but the majority are expected to
arrive early Sunday and remain until the
end Of the festival. There are some $1,000
Bohemians In the state and goodly NUM-
her OF these are expected to make Omaha
their rendezvous over the weekend.

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORN
Activities Incident to Opening of the
School Year.
STUDENT ARMY FLoCKs TO BOOKS
Projected Innovations in TeaehinR
MethOds-TuskeEee' BiE Life
Matters of General
Interest.

June lie esteemed the happiest month of
the school year IL is the month Of COM
mencements, the joyous season OF educa-
tional rewards, Of release from the grind
OF ten months, and the beginning Of va
cation September presents the reverse OF
the picture. Instead Of the joyous shouts
freedom inspires in June, young America
views the September call to school and
books with serious face and moves with
hating steps toward the open doors In
that respect they are like the elders, who,
after the summers vacation. view with
alarm the prospect Of buckling down to
work. In a few days, however, the feel
inf repugnance wears off, mind aud mus
cles bend to the tasks, and good results
are shown In due time.
According to the report Of the federal
bureau of education for 1905 the enrolment
Of the cofmon schools that year was 17,O6l,-
962 and the average attendance 12,144 27S,
required a commissioned staff of 1866
teachers. The same authority places the
total enrolment In all schools and col
leges. public, private and eleemosynary, at
1s,57O,282. The record for 1910 should ap-
proximate 20,O0OO00. Such a mighty host
of the youth OF the republic preparing for
the duties and responsibilities Of mature
life, constitute an impressive spectacle and
an imposing national asset AS am educa-
tional exhibit its equal is not to be found
in the round world. Even though the multi
tude approach the open doors with reluc-
tant feet, those who have been through
the mill cannot view the September spec
tacle without feeling thrill Of pride linked
with the smile that breaks through mem
ory's mists.

At the "Escuela uel Puerto" as the
institution has been named, classes are
held only at night, and tuition, use of

of all classes. The demand for places
in the classes has ben large, especially
in the classes has been large, especially
at large business houses, e people
whom the school was especially designed
to reach.
I'VE expect to improve materially the
intelligence and ability of the servants
of the city" said one of the leaders in
the movement, and we wish especially to
call attention of business men and
householders to the school, so that they
may urge upon their servants the oppor-

hundred men are now being given tuition
in the school, and a department for
women will be added later"
