Nevada School Laws
As Recently Revised
Late Legislature Amended Many of
the Objections of Former
EnaCtmentS

to give credits toward certificates tor
satisfactory work in standard SUM
mer chools.
In order to help needy school dis
tricts the county commissioners may
now transfer money from the county
general fund to the county school
fund of any district if the district has
levied special school tax for that
year of not less than twenty-five
cents on the hundred dollars Under
certain restrictions such transfer
may be made to help the district
carry on high school work.
The superintendent of public in
struction now has the power to COM
pei the transfer of school money due
to any child or children from the
fund of one district to that of another
if the child or children have during
the school year moved from the one
district to the other.
Heretofore the state board of edu
! cation has had full control of the
state permanent school fund. There
is now created a state investment
board consisting of the board of edu-
cation, the attorney general, and the
state treasure The investment
board may use the money to buy
United States securities, bonds of
this state or other states, and bonds
of any county of Nevada, provided
the total Indebtedness of the county
does not exceed ten per cent of its
assessed valuation and the bonds
bear not less than five per cent in
terest
A decidedly welcome change in the
law is one which allows a county to
bond for building a high school with
out the necessity OF special act of
the legislature.
Assembly Joint and Concurrens
Resolution No. II will. if finally car
ried, SO amend the state constitution
that the permanent school fund may
be loaned at six per cent on such
loans as are secured by first mort

Parents Teachers Association
Hold Interesting Meeting
A Cleanup Day Figured on. Other
Matters are Taken up by
The Members

/, forth considerable lively discussion
and remarks Motions were made
for and against the proposition but
none OF the questions were put to a
vote.
The plan of setting aside day as
Cleanup Day met with favor but the
general impression seems TO be that
instead OF the work being laid out
in districts. men apportioned to each
district. dinner being served by the
ladies in different districts. as was
erty owner clean up their own places
and have the teams haul off the refuse,

Then, as rule. the ladies did not
take kindly to preparing general din
ners but though better plan would
be for each household TO prepare
dinaer;at home and let the men bring
in "a friend OF some OF the workers
TO dine with them. The question was
not decided by vote OF the club.
And in this connection it seemed
to be the general opinion that the
club was getting out of its jurisdic-
tion in this matter. as it is for school
and educational purposes. and that
cleanup day, civic improvements. etc.
should be under the direction of the
Civic Dinner Club or other body
composed mostly of men
The mode of selection OF officers
was taken up 1t was suggested that
the Chair appoint committee Of
three members who in turn would
appoint officers. instead of selecting
them by vote This proposition did
not meet with general favor and it
is likely that the officers fill be elect
ed by vote OF the association.
From yesterdays meeting it is
plainly seen that the organization is
citing into action and much good
results will probably follow.

Yesterday afternoon the Parents
and Teachers Association held one
of the most important meetings since
its organization, and as evidence that
interest is being taken the largest
membership yet assembled was pres
cnt and the business and proceedings
went through with a vim that shows
the Association is getting down to
action in good shape.
The main subject OF interest was
an educational address by DIR. Pick
ard OF Reno, which contained a great
deal of information and advice to
parents. The address was intently
listened to and received with interest.
a proposition was broached and
commented upon pro and con relative
to giving an entertainment for the
benefit of the Association which in
turn would be for the benefit of the
school in general as this is the i'm
port Of the organization. In this
connection it was suggested that tai
cnt from Reno put on a play here.
for the purpose and this would be
done by the MANAGEMENT for the sum
Of 5000, or so per cent of the gross
receipts This plan did not meet with
general favor. the majority believing
that Carson City had talent equally
as good which would be willing to
act for the cause and it being purely
a local issue, it would be better to
give it under the auspices of the AS
sociation and by home talen. thus
saving the large amount in royalties
To outside talent Nothing definite
was determined relative to this ques-
ton and il will be taken up at a iu-
turc meeting.

from Mcssrs. Montrose. Cohn and

AND DANCE THIS EVENING

The Balkin War Territory
(Eclipse)-This offering is well
worth seeing For the most part
it deals with Bosnia province that
Austria helped herself to a year or
so ago, but it also gives some ex-
cellent views of Constantinople from
the water front An instructive and
valuable offering.
My Hero Biograph)-Stern par
ents have ever been relentless OBJ
stacles in loves young dream But
it is perhaps quite doubtful if ever
love could equal the accentuated
bliss and anguish. She refused to eat
for her lover, and for her he bore the
marks Of battle Tired of such an
uns sympathetic world they sought the
wilderness and had it not been for
Indian Charley, their dream of love
would have ended quite too disagree
able to think about. There is a fash
of comedy at unexpected moments
just enough to ease the tension.
There are some fine outdoor scenes
and several dramatic settings.
The God of Gold (Selig)-Five
young men hopeful and glorying in
their strength begin buckling on the
armor of the workaday world. The
doctor is af1ame for science. The

Artist is for creative things. The
soldier observes the glories of the
conquest. The hardy farmer observes
the advantages of useful life in sup
plying the world with substance; but
the financier tells how he will surpas
them all in the accumulation of gold.
A powerful absorbing drama of the
eternal lust for gold that sometimes
curse humanity. He who worships
the God of Gold teaches moral not
soon to be forgotten.
Strange Places and Quaint Peo-
pie (Kalem)-This pictures the var
ious foreign sections Of New York

Syrian quarters at Battery Park The

Expert of New Mexican Plain i'm
provjses Lariat When Boy Falls
From New York Pier.

NEW YORK. June lit was a for
tunate thing for John Finan. years
old, of 8 Dover Street. that John
Lopez. Of 16S South Street, was once
cowboy in New Mexico, for it was
his dexterity with an improvised lasso
that saved the boy from drowning
yesterday afternoon when he fell into
the East River al the foot of Roose-
Welt Street.
The boy was playing with COmpan-
ions on the pieE at the foot Of Roosc-

edge of'the pier and fell overheard.
The cries of his playmates brought
Lopez with 300 other persons to the

PRIEST PLACES
BAN On TURKEY
TROT IN PARISH
Declares He will Eject Anyone
Who INDUCES in Any of the
Present Dances.

BANGOR. June Members of St
Johns Catholic Parish. one of the
most populous in Maine, have been
forbidden from the pulpit to indulge
in the turkey trot the tango. the
squirrel squlrm or any other Of the
Raging" dances.
Father Clarity denounced certain
exhibitions which he had seen young
men and girls of the parish indulg-
ing. and declared that any of his
parishioners who engaged in 1t in
st, Johns Hall viii be elected at once.
Present Dancing Pernicious.
Dancing may be an innocent form
Of amusement, or it may be pernic-
ious. especially as it is carried on at
present" said Father Clarity The
tendency of the times is to drag down
the moral standard, and nowhere is
this better illustrated than in some
of the dances permitted nowadays.
These dances are ruinous to all sense
of decency and morality. Any Cath
Ollie girl or young man who takes
part in them is not in a fit state for
the reception of the sacraments. The
least than can be expected of Cath
olics Is that they maintain outward
respectability and decorum. Those
who violate all sense of decency BY
taking part In these dances are not
even keeping up to that standard.
Fathers Should Take Stand.
1T is for each one of you to com
mence the fight against II. You can
do more than the civil authorities.
Use your influence with your fam
tlies and those under your control
The father has more influence over his
daughter generally, and the moth =
er's influence counts for most with
the son Fathers, then, should safe
guard to the best of their ability
the morals of their daughters. and
mothers should watch over their sons.

Surgeon Builds New
Chin on Burned Child
After Many Weeks Treatment Little
Girls Mouth, shriVeIed to Small
Hole, Is Reshaped,

BALTIMORE, June After many
weeks of treatment. the rebuilding OF
a little girls chin and the restoration
Of her mouth, after they had been ter
ribly distorted by burns have been
completed at a hospital here.
Her face was SCARED to such an eX-
tent that when the wound healed on
~ a small hole was left where the
mouth had been So small was the
opening that the little finger could
be inserted with difficulty. Nothing
was left of the chin but the bone and
a covering of SCARED flesh.
A large flap of flesh was cut from
the child's abdomen, one side being
left attached to the body. Then a slit
was made in the arm of the patient
sufficiently large - allow the inser-
ton Of the raised end of the flesh on
the abdomen. This was done to es-
tablish circulation in the abdominal
flesh.
After weeks that part of the flesh
attached to the abdomen was cut and
the childs arm. with the flap of flesh
growing to it, was raised and the part
that formerly had been joined to the
abdomen was joined to the lips ana
chin, from which the SCARED flesh haQ
been cut.
When the child was discharged
from the hospital she could eat, talk
and move her jaws as well as any of
her companions. It is only upon close
examination that the patchwork chin
is seen.

ROULET TE AND
POKER VANISH
FROM PANAMA
Gambling, Once Popular Amuse-
ment of Canal Employees and
Natives, Disappears.

PANAMA, June Men WHO up to
yesterday sat around in the cantinas
and cafes Of Panama and Colon and
threw dice for drinks are to-day re-
duced to the necessity of counting
out" because the Government of the
Republic of Panama has put into eff
feet a law against the shaking of dice
Even the possession of dice by pub

the lottery now remains of all the
many gambling devices that were per
mitted in Panama prior TO the Amer
lean occupation. The lottery will
persist a few years longer and then it
too must go
So far as gambling is concerned
Panama and Colon are now model
cities. One Of the articles of the con-
stitution of Panama forbids gambling
in any form, and roulette, which
iourished here up to 1904. was clos
ed down in that year. In 1911 stud
poker was forbidden and a year later
all forms Of poker were put under
ban.

cause they were interfering with the

A siroCCo of civic virtue seems to
have dried up Panama and Colon,
when one compares those cities of to-
day with the same places a few years
ago. Bull fighting or batting was a
popular pastime up to 1909. and even
such exciting combats as a bun
against a lion We're advertised.
In 1909 Panama passed a law for
bidding all such amusements. Cock
fighting remained, however. and this
was a great Sunday attraction in both
Colon ana Panama In the latter city
the big arena near the north bastion
of the old city wall was crowded every
Sunday. In 1911 even this form of
amusement was forbidden.
Prizsfghting Permitted.
Prizehghtng is still permitted, but
the enterprise is entirely in the hands
vt Americans, and Americans attend
the shows. The Panamanan does not
care for boxing bouts and looks with
utter contempt on the American who
can reconcile such brutality with civ
ilized living.
After July I liquor selling viii be
prohibited in the Canal Zone and the

hibition wave will overflow those cit
