MOST OF GRADE
GRADUATES GO ON
Eighty-Seven Per Cent Go to High
Schools, Which is Far Above the
Average for Country.
SOME SCHOOLS OVERLOOKED

midwintcr term $40 win continue their
course in the Central High school and
High School Of Commerce, go going TO
the former and 40 TO the latter.
superintendent Graft is simply oIated
at this fact II is full Of significance.
Educational statistics have shown that
as rule half OF those completing the
grade schools in the United states never
continue their education. That Is TO say,
as many boys and girls pass out OF tho
schools altogether from the grades as
pursue courses In higher education.
And mere is an instance where 81 per
cent Of tho grade school graduates 20
on into high schools. II Is remarkable
even for omaha. whose percentage may
be little higher than the average. Yet
only last year some OF the school author
titles were lamenting the fact that so
many youths gave up school with the
completion OF the grades.
Superintendent Graft feels that while
this is most gratifying for the Central
High, it is quite vlndication for the
High School OF Commerce, whose total
enrolment will continue around 600 The
fact that so many boys and girls patron
ize that institution IL taken a. conclusive
evidence Of fits practical appeal.
Grades Crowded.
But far more than as boys and girls
viii enter the grades 10 succeed those
who have gone out at this midwintcr
season. The excess. in fact. Is just now
causing a good deal of careful thinking
and planning on the superintendent part.
The school plant capacity is already we'll
taxed. Some schools will now be over
flowed, particularly Lincoln. at Eleventh
street and Lincoln boulevard and Mason,
at Twenty-fourth and Mason streets
There are three ways Of meeting this
emergency" says MIR. Graft. One is by
the use of portable buildings to carry off
the surplus; another by holding halliday
sessions, an extremely undesirable ex-
pedient; the third Is by putting two teach-
ers In the crowded rooms. What we shall
do cannot at present say"
c. J. Ernst, in his inaugural" address
as president OF the Board OF Education,
dropped this remark:
I'VE must endeavor TO do our full duty
to the children of our schools and their
parents
Many believe that before this can be
fully realized, additional school buildings
Will be necessary.

Big Plant Will Start o.
erations in Sixty Days.
Formerly Old Sc
curity Brewery
Plant

The old plant of the Security Brew.
ing Company, on Brooklyn avenue is
again the scene of great activity. and
this time it is very evident that the
promotion has been ended and that
actual operations will soon be begun
The first organization which took
over the building of the Security Brew
ing Company had in their charter the
location of a distilling company here
Tor the manufacture of whiskev and
the resale or the use of their bv-prod.
ucts in cattle feeding. but it seems
that their investigation showed that a
sufficient amount of corn could not
be had in this near vicinity to make
the plant a success: consequently the
idea of a whiskey distillery was given
up, new capital was brought into the
company, and it is now being convert
ed into distillery for manufacturing
denatured alcohol.
Mr.. John DeblieuX, the secretary of
the Levert Lumber and Single Com
pany of Plaquemine, La, is the chair
man of the board of directors of this
new concern and also its treasurer.
Mr.. L. NJ. Soniat is the president, and
Mr.. F. B. Bernard Zone of our towns
mem is the foreman, while Mr.. r. f.
Grevenburg is the chemist.
The company now is not offering its
stock for sale; it represents at the
present time an outlay of about one
hundred thousand dollars, most of
which has been paid in.
The machinery for the production
of the alcohol, which will be made
from Louisiana molasses, is now on
hand and being erected, and the new
concern will be ready to turn out its
product within the next sixty days.
The capacity of the plant will be about
four thousand five hundred gallons per
day, and will give employment to
about twenty men, most of whom will
be from our side of the river.
In speaking to Mr.. Deblieux regard
ing the production of alcohol from
molasses, he stated that the Louisi-
ana molasses, which they will use,
will produce to the gallon eighty per
cent of its volume in denatured alco-
hol, which has a ready sale at about
thirty-eight cents a gallon, while the
price of molasses used for this pur-
pose runs between three and eight
cents per gallon. From this it might
be seen that the opportunities for
profit are great. and we trust that the
new concern will be big success
Some of our well-known business men
are also interested in this new indus
.ry.

NAVAL STATION NOTES.

The L. s. A. dredge Galveston was
unlocked on June 11th by Chief Car
penter Alonzo Burke, L. S. n. This
vessel is still at the Naval Station for
the finishing of the repairs by the
Stearns Foundry Company.
The L. S. S. Amphitrite and L. S.
S. Stranger were locked on the 14th
and will remain in dock about ten
days to undergo the regular scraping
and painting to outside underwater
parts and minor other repairs. It is
estimated that the entire work to be
undertaken will amount to about
$4,000. When these vessels are COM
pleted they will be in fine trim for the
summer cruise of the Louisiana Naval
Militia.
The U. S. s. Petrol is expected to
arrive at the Station about July 1st
for her overhaul period. This is the
second naval vessel in full commission
to be overhauled since the reopening
and the work will take probably two
months, costing in the neighborhood
of $4,000. This vessel is a gunboat,
built by the Columbian Iron Works,
Baltimore, Nd. 500 tons displacement
and a length of 1873 feet. She was ac-
copied by the government in 1889 and
has been in commission ever since.

ant Commander D. NJ. Wood, U. S. n.

SIX APPLICANTS
AT BONNER HOME.
Haven for Aged Men Dedicated in Al
giers; Mayor Behrman Makes
An Address,

Six applicants, whose requests had
been favorably acted upon, were pre-
pared to enter the John NJ. Bonner
Home for Aged and Infirm Men when
the institution was opened for their
reception last week. One of the first
to reach the Home was Edward John
son, formerly an engineer on river
boats of the seventies. Mr.. Johnson
is more than 20 years Of age, and as
all his near relatives have died, he
decided to take advantage of the
chance for a refuge in his declining
years.
The Home was formally dedicated
Wednesday afternoon. With Mayor
Behrman, members of the Bonner fam
lily, Judge w. B. Sommerville, presi-
dent of the Home, and many other
friends and patrons of the institution
on board, the tug Wilmot left the
wharf at the head of Canal street
about 2 o'clock When the party
reached the Home they found that it
had been decorated with flowers and
bunting, and every room was in shape
for the reception of the inmates. The
exercises were held in the living
room and the speakers stood directly
beneath a large portrait of the late
Judge Bonner, to whose memory the
Home was dedicated.
Mayor Behrman, who has not been
in good health for several weeks, re-
sponded to an invitation to make an
address. He said that he had always
thought there were two classes of peo-
pie who are overlooked-the little
ones and the. old people.
There should be more Fairgrounds
for the young and more Ravens like
the Bonner Home for the old" he
said. This institution should be an
influence in doing something for 9TH
ers who cannot do anything for them
selves"
After speeches by Judge Sommer-
Vile and a short musical program, w.
Melancon and his wife were formally
appointed superintendent Of the
Home. Joseph w. Lennox, the build
err, also made an address.
