practical accomplishments, to make them self-sup-
porting.
So when Mr.. Rosewater was elected to the legis-
lature in 1871, forty years ago, the principal
of legislation which he ceDtered his eff
forts to reorganze the schools of Omaha and
and centraze their management in a single elective
board of education. Those who opposed this bill
sought to nufy It by attaching proviso, which he
accepted that it should become operative unless
ratified by popular vote-a sort of anticipation of
the referendum of today Strangely enough it
this very provso that changed the whole current of
his for in order to crystalline public sentiment
in favor of the proposed board of education he
started The Bee at first for free distribution and
only afterwards as permanent business enterprise.
The overwhelming vote endorsing the school law
was vote of popular confidence in its sponsor and
his newspaper. 1t goes without saying that by voice
and pen he constant champion of the free pub
lie schools, advocating and promoting everything
which, in his judgment promised to increase their
efficiency to raise their standards and their
pupils better citizens. At sacrifice of time and
money, he fought the enemies of the public schools
who would degrade them into agencies of intoer-
ance or religious bigotry He opposed the appca-
ton of political tests, equally with religious tests to
the teaching force, and was strong factor in pro-

I should have said that all this time he was an
intense student and constantly eadeavoring to ex-
pand his knowledge particularly of languages and
science. While he in the south he boarded with
family of French people for the particular purpose
of learning French, and succeeded so well that in
later years he able read French and converse
in French This made the fifth language he had at
his command and still later he by little self-prac
tice succeeded in acquiring a reading acquaintance
with Italian as his sixth language In four of them
English. German, Bohemian and French-he was
sufficiently ut home to make public speeches.
Association With Scientists of Note.
During his year in Washington Mr. Rosewater
also utilized his opportunity to get touch with
number of eminent scientists engaged in government
work, especially Professor Joseph Henry of the
Smithsonian institution, the co-inventor with Morse
of the electric telegraph, with whom he afterwards
correspondent All the years that he in the tee-
graph service my father constantly observing
the phenomenon of electricity and making practical
experiments, and TO his last days by his reading and
contact with distinguished scientists kept abreast of
modern electrical progress. Indeed, as those who
discussed these subjects with him know he worked
out Independently for himself many of the advanced
theories of electric energy that later came to be
generally accepted After he had removed to Omaha
in 1853, outgrowth of his association with Profess
sor Henry made him instrumental in the Inaugural
ton Of the weather bureau by inducing the operators
at various points to note with him the thermometer
and barometer readings daily that could trans
NIT them by wire to Professor Henry Washington.
have narrated all this to show you with what
laborious persistence and perseverance my father
acquired the groundwork of his own education and
by constant study and application built substan-
al superstrucure in spite of meager resources and
many obstacles. 1t the realization of what his
own education had him. and Of the difficulties
he had to overcome, that made him such firm be-
lever in the public schools and made it his concep-
ton of real philanthropy to help some worthy boy
or girl to a practical higher education which he
himself, had had to secure unaded. 1 know of quite
few instances during his lifetime where he provided
the means for needy boys girls to take course in
a business college in some trade school teaching

until 1t took its final form, What | wish to
call your attention to is the broad scope of
this beQuest, and the self-effacement of the
donor The fund is established, leaving the
expenditure of the income by the Board of
Education absolutely untrammeled except for
the few conditions stated. The award of the
scholarship is to go to sons of Omaha me-
chanics." What he had in mind was to pro-
vide higher education in technology or APP
piled science for boys whose fathers belonged
to the working classes, who were in their own
field of labor thoroughly identified with the
city, and who would be unable to give their
sons a costly education. The selection of
the school and the manner of award is left
entirely to the school authorities II was the
object to be accomplished rather than the
method of accomplishing it that was in his
mind 1t was the good that the beQuest
might do and no purpose of self-assertion or
self-laudation that prompted him. The
school board has seen fit to designate this
scholarship "the Edward Rosewater scholar
ship" but that plainly was far from his
thought, for he could easily, had he so de-
sired, have stipulated in the bequest that 1t
should be so designated.
Neither was the commemoration OF his
name in a school building like this ever
dreamed of by him, although l know he
would have appreciated it more than
