PUBLICITY URGED
FOR SCHOOL WORK

Frank publicity in securing the co.
operation of the community in the
work of the schools 4 urged by w. s.
Deffenbaugh, Of the U. s. Bureau Of
Education, in a report ON sSchool
Progress In the Smaller Cities" just
issued.
"School boards that are managing
the schools ably and honestly do not
fear to turn on the searchlight,D de-
clares Mr.. Deffenbaugh. sThe senti-
ment is growing among school boards
that the public should know how its
money is expended. In the most pro-
gressive schools, the board and the SUI
perintendent are presenting facts to
the people either in printed reports or
in newspaper articles, or by both.
Some schoolmen, however. object
TO furnishing the newspapers with
school information on the ground that
they are thereby advertising them
| selves. A superintendent who was COM
planning about lack of interest among
the parents in the schools of his city
was asked whether he reported the pro-
gress of the schools through the local
newspapers. He replied that he did not
believe in advertising himself. He fail
ed to grasp the idea that school news
Is not for the purpose of BOOSTING a
superintendent: besides being legiti-
mate news, it calls attention to the
needs of the work Of the school 40 that
the school may become more efficient.
In several cities, as Fredonia, Kan
sas, there is an educational issue of the
local paper. In some other cities there
are daily school notes. On the whole.
the public is becoming better informed
regarding schools than it was a few
years ago. The tendency is toward
greater publicity by means of printed
reports and newspaper articles.
"That the schools can work to adj
vantage through women's civic inn.
provement clubs and through parent
teacher associations has been thor
oughiy demonstrated in many of the
smaller cities Such clubs are often in
strumental in the introduction of kim
dergartens, manual training. and do
nestle science. The superintendent of
one school utilized the women - clubs
of the city by asking that each club
give some consideration to the oues-
tlon, What can be done to improve the
efficiency of your sehoolsf' Each club
discussed the question and sent a rep
resentative to present to the teachers
the ideas of the club. In the opinion of
the superintendent Of the schools in
that city, the plan aroused interest
among the women of the city in better
schools. -
These and other plans for arousing
interest in school work are discussed
in chapter 4, volume I, of the 1914 re-
port of the Commissioner of Education.
This is obtained as a separate publica-
tion.

MANY LOOK TO NEVADA
FOR OPPORTUNITIES

On grounds that no outside state
contributes so much to the prosperity
OF California as Nevada, Nevadans pre-
diet their state will provide the over
flow country TO which Californians will
flock as the population of the coast
state grows. 1t is pointed out that ma
ny California statesmen are heavily
interested in the lands, mines and live
stock of Nevada and that there is a
strong friendship between the people
Of both states.
Statistics show that the University
of Nevada at Reno is educating a fair
proportion of the youths of California
each year and it is said to be regarded
bv many as an admirable preparatory
school for the professional schools of
Berkeley and Stanford. Californians
as well as Nevadans are said TO be
well impressed with the institution
because, they saw, with the limitation
of its number of students, each indi
vidual student will receive more per
sonal attention and training from hi
instructors.
The university has an enrolment o.
more than 400 students and a stronf
faculty of more than fifty professors
and nstructors.--Herald-R Republican.

EXPRESS COMPANY ROBBED
OF DIAMOND RINGS

A smooth diamond thief worked a
scheme on the Elko agent of the Amer
lean Express company Monday morn
ing and got away with two diamond
rings valued at $685.. From the infor
nation we have been able to gather, a
firm in Chicago shipped to- Elko by ex-
press two diamond rings, large and
small one, and as is usual in cases of
this kind they came G. o. d. subject &c
examination. Early Monday morning
well dressed stranger, about % years
of age, applied at the express Office
and asked to see the rings. Guy
Vaughn, who is acting agent for the
Western Pacific company, who also has
charge of the express business, went TO
the safe and opening the package hand
ed the rings to the stranger for exam
NATION. The office of the express com
pany is IN the ticket office Of the West
ern Pacific, and while the examination
was being made, a second stranger, be-
lieved to have been an aecomplice of
the thief, applied for a ticket at the
window As Mr.. Vaughn had to move
but a step to hand out the ticket, he
thought that he could watch the rings,
and allowed the examination TO go on
while he made the ticket sale.
The stranger expressed his satisfac-
tion with the rings and said that as
he was short of money he would come
back in couple of days after the dia
monds. Mr.. Vaughn then put the rings
in the safe. Later on in talking with
Special Agent johnson of the express
company, whe was here that day, he
spoke of the mornings events, and ON
the suggestion that sometimes substi
tuition was made in examinations of
this sort, took the rings out of the safe
and examined them, when he found
that the two rings had been substituted
with poor limitations of the genuine
stones.
The theft was reported to the local
officers shortly after the noon hour
but by that time no trace of the man
could be found, and it is believed that
he left town on one of the morning
trains, and up to date they have not
been apprehended. The rings were val
ued at $5s5.-Free Press.

BOARD TURNS
DOWN THE ESPE[

The board of county commissioners
met at 10 O'Clock this morning, with
Chairman Byrnes and Commissioner
Hoskins present. After acting on a
number of bills, the board resolved it
self into board of equalization and
announced that it was ready to hear
any complaints against the valuations
fixed by the assessor for the current
year.
On behalf of the Central Pacific rail
road, II. W. Hobbs, a San Francisco
attorney, asked that the board reduce
the assessment on all of the railroad g
lands in this county upon which Asses
sor Organ had placed valuation of
1925 per acre. After consideration
of the matter, the board passed the
following resolutions:
In the matter of the petition of the
Central Pacific Railway company for
reduction of assessed valuation on GER
tain lands,
1t is ordered, That said petition be
denied, upon the grounds that the
board of county commissioners as a
county board of equalization has no
power to reduce the assessed value of
any lands under $l.25 per acre, which
value is fixed by sections 1898, 1899
and 1910 of the Revised Laws of Ne
vada of 1912, as the minimum valua-
tion to be placed upon lands for as
sessment purposes.
This afternoon Senator J. d. Brad
shaw, j. r. Harvey, H. X. Harvey and
William Blattner appeared bofer the
board and asked that certain changes
be made in the assessed valuations of
their section.

SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN
NATIONAL FOREST REVENUES

WASHINGTON, August 5.-The Ma
tional Forests turned into the q. 8.
treasury during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1915, nearly $4,000, 900, an in
crease of more than 100000 over the
receipts Of the previous year, accord
ing to statement just issued by the
Forest Service. The timber sales.
which amounted to $1,164, 900, yielded
ON account of the depressed condition
OF the lumber industry about $4,000
less than those of the previous fiscal
year, but the gain was made possible
by larger revenues from other sources.
The grazing receipts, which totaled
81 ,125, 900, increased $127,000 over last
year, and the water power receipts,
which amounted to not quite 5000,
showed an increase of nearly $42, 1000.
The Generalization Of the turpentine
industry on account of the wars cur
tailment of the naval stores market.
caused the receipts from the sale Of
turpentining privileges on the national
forests to drop to about $1,000, as
against nearly $4,000 last year. The
sale of special use permits, under
which all sorts of enterprises, from
ariaries to whaling stations, are oper-
ated on the forests, yielded nearly
$7S, 900, an increase of SO 900 over last
year. There was a decrease of nearly
$3I 900 in the revenue derived by the
settlement of trespass eases in which
government timber had been cut with
out intent TO defraud, the revenue from
this source being only a little more
than $4,000. More than 1000, how
ever, was collected from other timber
trespass cases. Grazing trespass eases
yielded nearly $4,000, an increase of
about 1000; occupancy trespass cases,
which occurred in only one of the seven
forest districts, turned in something
less than $3.50; about $50 was derived
from turpentine trespass cases, and
$500 from fire trespass cases, the latter
being more than $1,000 less than the
amount collected in the previous fiscal
year for damage to government prop
ertv through fires carelessly or wilful-
lv started in or near national forests.
For the local forest district, compris-
ing southern Idaho, western Wyoming,
Utah, Nevada and northern Arizona.
the receipts, amounting to $432, 2,25a,
are 10.7 per cent greater than last
year Receipts from timber, $93. 900.
were 16 per cent greater, and those
from grazing. $33S,SOO, 9 per cent
greater, than for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1914.
Tn grazing receipts, the local dis
trict led, as usual, and in total re-
ceipts was third, being exceeded hv
the districts with headquarters at Mis-
soula, Mont, and at Denver, vet run
ming the latter district a close race for
second place.
