Abandon Junior Normal.


Abandon Junior Normal.
BROKEN BOW, Neb., Jan si.-(special.)
Much indignation is expressed here over
the fact that a movement has been started
in the Legislature to discontinue the Junior
normal at Broken Bow. The institution
here has been a great success; in fact, It
stands at the head OF junior normals in
the state; the attendance in tho last two
years being greater than any of the other
eight schools.
The embarrassing feature of this move
is that 1t comes from Loren Cornett, presi-
dent of the Broken Bow Business college.
who spent several days at Lincoln endeav-
oring to. bring about this legislation. When
the Commercial club OF the city learned
about this movement a committee con-
ssting Of Superintendent Elliott Of the
city schools, Attorney r. G. Moore and
E. r. Purcell was appointed and went IA
Lincoln to investigate the matter. The
report OF the committed, upon its return
was not at all favorable to Mr.. Cornett
Later on another committee was appointed
consisting Of Attorney A. r. Humphrey
and County Superintendent Lewis, who
departed for Lincoln this morning to aiC
further in the matter.
The people of Broken Bow are particu
larry proud of the showing the junior
normal has made and are considerabl,
worked up over the fact that citizen o.
the town has been instrumental in en-
deavoring tor have the school discontinued
So far as Is known, every citizen o
Broken Bow, with the single exception o
the president OF the business college Il
enthusiastic for the junior normal an,
proud Of the fact that the city has tn
most successful school Of this kind in tn
state Mr.. Cornett emphaticalIy denie
that he has been anyways active in sucl
a movement; but the investigating com
mittee stands pat and declares It can bacl
up its report with solid facts.
