first building erected was the present north wing.

buildings, being a handsome new auditorium.
and four small frame buildings. There is staff
of thirty-odd teachers, and superintendent Booth
considers the Nebraska institution one of the
best in the land. He is not alone in that opinion.

surroundings are almost ideal. Majestic naples
and widespreading cottonwoods surround the build

An association OF parents and guardians of deaf.

formed, to be known as the Nebraska Parents AS

feel that the parents of deaf children the ones

wish to have them become nearly as possible
like hearing children, taught and trained to talk
with their families and friends, and understand
binary conversation by reading their lips.
The law passed By the last legislature for oral
instruction provides that speech shall be used dur

The school maintains an industrial training
school, and teaches carpentry, printing, painting.
shoemaking and farming to the boys, and dress
making and laundry work to the girls. The former
pupils of the school generally following the
occupations thus taught at school and rule
successfully.
The last Nebraska legislature, responding to
a request Of parents desiring It, passed a law
making the employment of the oral method COM
pulsory in the future work of the school The
oral method aims to give speech and lip reading
to deaf children, and where skfully applied under
favorable conditions the method In other states has
proven a success. At present all new pupils, or
those entering schools this fall being taught
orally. These constitute two classes. In addition
10 these, six classes formerly taught orally
tnued under the oral method. The seven remain
ing classes, made up principally of the older pupils
heretofore taught manually, are continued and
will be continued under the manual method until
their graduation
II viii take time probably several years, &C
cording to Prof Booth, for for the oral method to
entirely replace the manual method, by graduating
the manually taught and by training the new pupils
as they enter exclusively by speech. The process
is thus an evolutionary rather than revolutionary
enc, process of natural growth rather than Of
destruction and attempted reconstruction.

or less success in the schools for the
AuzVz,gs-Eu& deaf of the United States, and the
HS&NSSSS3H Nebraska school, located in Omaha,
Es1ESASW is not behind in this work.
AS long ago as 1894 Prof. j. A.
Gillespie then in charge of this school, had begun
instruction oral lines, In an interview with
Alexander Graham Bell printed in The Bee during
a visit he made to the Omaha school in that year,
Mr.. Bell said:
The Nebraska institution is celebrated the
world over for its progress in teaching the deaf to
hear. The method in use here originated by
Prof. ]. A. Gillespie and is revoutionizing the man
ner OF instructng these unfortunates For
number of years teachers in the institution have
been accustomed to ring dinner bell to summon
their pupils, but it seemed to occur to any
one that child that could hear dinner bell might
be taught to hear speech. 1t remained for Prof
Gillespie to attempt this and he has demonstrated
that IS per cent of our deaf mutes could be taught
to hear and speak; and when you consider that
the Of 1880 reports about $4,000 deaf
mutes in this country, you see how important this
matter is
The method pursued by this school is to
form those pupils who hear any loud noise
such dinner bell, into classes, and teach them
to articulate, thus Transforming them from deaf
mutes into ordinary deaf people. While l was in
Europe | was questioned very closely about this
Nebraska institution and the work 1t is doing, but
was unable to give very extended idea of the
matter, as had never visited 1t; so l resolved to
avail myself of the first opportunity investigate
the matter fully The institution has gained
reputation in his thing which is world wide and has
done more to change the general idea regarding
this subject than anyone every dreamed Of"
Since Mr.. Bell gave that interview to The
Bee after visiting the Nebraska school, the instl-
tuition has kept in the front rank among schools
for the education of the deaf. To convey an under
standing Of the new and better method as it has
been developed at the present time. it will be per-

When deaf person wishes to master lip reading
be must learn perfectly just what shapes the lips
take in making all the sounds. The vowols are
taken one by one and the pupil drilled in these
sounds over and over for hours at time. Then
the consonants are taken. 1t seems almost hope

M. r. Sharp, President of the Amer
lean Society of Equity, Concludes
Long Tour Through the State.

After addressing hundreds Of farm.
ers' meetings all over the state, M. r.
Sharp. an official of The American So

been manifest all the time
Mr.. Sharp has been in the state
for some time and has visited a large
number Of the Equity societies and has
organized several new societies about
the state. At each place he stopped
Mr.. Sharp gave an hour or more talk
to the farmers, mostly on the subject
OF handling their grain in more sat
lsfactory manner. This lis the thing
that the Society Of Equity IS empha-
sizing mostly just at present. It urges
the farmers to get together and en-
deavor to handle their crops con-
more rapidly and with less
expense
The farmers have listened 10 the
address of Mr.. Sharp with a great
of interest wherever he has
talked, and 1t is quite evident by the
way that they are taking hold OF the
Equity Cooperative Exchange that
they are seriously thinking about the
shipping problem in an endeavor to
solve this perplexing question.

KEMP TO Be Sent HOME

Money Has Arrived--Sent Home
Tonight In Care of Conductor.

The local police department received
the ticket and passage money today
from Toronto for Albert Kemp, the
young man who is being held here be-
cause Of the fact that he is thought to
be mentally deranged. He was taken
in custody some time ago and his par
ents informed Of his condition.
The police viii place Kemp on a
train tonight and give his ticket and
money to the conductor. 1t is thought
that the only way that he would go
through would be when he is under
the care Of the conductor. He has at
times said he would not go home If he
once reached Winnipeg with some
money on his possession.
1t has been said that the federal au-
thorities should take him In charge, but
there seems to be no provision by
which they can act in the matter.

SCHOOL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
REVERSE DISTRICT COURT
cAssELToN GETS MORE LAND.

That the Armenia school district ana
the district north of Armenia, known
as No. 16. should not be one school dis
trlct, has been decided by the county
commissioners while sitting as board
to arbitrate the school district boun-
daries of the county.
The case was decided by Judge Pol
lock of the district court Saturday
night favoring the Armenia district.
The two districts were made one for
the purpose Of making a stronger high
school at Armenia and the district
known as No. 16 was wiped off the
map, and the control of it's school
turned over to the Armenia district
The patrons Of the school in district
NO. is had r.. III. McEnroe appear for
them before the commissioners yes
terday afternoon, asking that the de-
cision Of the court be set aside Under
the law regulating the power of the
commissioners in such matters. which
became effective July /, the commits
stoners had this right and the decided
to make the two districts separate
again.
This case has been before the courts
Tor long time and is one of the most
agltated questions in the Cass county
school circles. 1t is presumed that
this will be the final disposition of the
matter, unless the Armenia school SUI
pervisors carry the case to the supreme
court to test the eonstitutionality of

casseIton Gets Land.
In the Casselton school district case
Casselton had asked for all of school
district No, 10 to be annexed to the
school district of that city.

Casselton district should have almost
all of the west half Of district No. 10
and the north half of district No. 10.
This makes twenty-five additional sec
tions given to the Casselton school dis
trict. The Casselton district has been
a small one and claimed it needed more
taxable land to support its schools.

10 were readjusted by the commits
sioners. None Of the districts were in
creased but their internal lines were
adjusted to the mutual ADVANTAGE Of
all the districts.
The commissioners also wiped out
district No. 121 and combined IT with |
NO. SIS and in the future the combined |
district will be known as No. IS. This
district is at the village of Hunter and /
