McCool schools Prosperous.

M'CooK, Neb.. Feb. i2.-(Speoial) AT
the Commercial club last night Superin-
tendent Davis OF the city schools made
a report concerning number of school
matters. He reported the nonresident
high school attendance as being more
than 80 per cent larger this year than
ever before. This is accounted for
largely by the fact that the Board of
Education has just this year installed a
most complete and up-to-date equipment
for commercial and domestic science
courses. Both these courses have an
enrolment almost to the limit OF their
capacity. The ten new typewriters in
the commercial work are barely suffl-
eient to meet the needs OF the course. Ii
was further suggested that the publicity
committee might do well to show the ad.
vantages OF the city along educational
lines. The proposal was referred to the

Smash
British Empire
in a Single Day

LONDON Feb. 12.-"You could easily
smash the British empire in a days de-
bate in Parliament II you tried to inter-
fere with the autonomy granted to its
various parts" was the statement OF
Lewis Harcourt, secretary for the colon
les in Parliament today. He was reply
ing to an amendment moved by the labor
members in the House of Commons to
the address in reply to the kings speech,
The labor members had urged dat the
government withhold its assent t. the
bill of Premier Louis Botha OF South
Africa, indemnifying the South African
government for its act in deporting the
labor leaders after the recent general
strike there.
Without defending the action OF the
Botha government. Mr.. Harcourt pointed
out that there were in South Africa
only 1,250,OO0 whites to 100000 natives
who when work had ceased at the
mines became hungry and dangerous.
He added;
That is the sort of volcano on which
everyone was sitting in South Africa"
Mr.. Harcourt declined to advise tho
king to withhold his sanction from the
bill IL It passed and he declared that
such advice would be entirely unjustifi-
able. He urged the speakers during the
debate to be careful OF the rights Of the
self-governing dominions and to refrain
from saying anything derogatory to an
autonomous government.
