subordinated to their French and lit
erature, but they have made better
mothers and better wives because of
the scholastic advantages which they
enjoyed briefly or Iengthily. as the
case might be.
This influence is extensive, as has
been said. 1t has been increasing
most appreciably during the last four
or five years and with the general
upward trend in higher education is
due to increase more in the future.
Fathers who had partial or complete
college training will see that their
boys get there-and mothers who had
their year or years of contact with
the university will want their daugh-
tiers to go there, too.
The university is at the apex of
Nebraska's most comprehensive
school system. 1t is the crown, the
cap sheaf. 1t has been made to fit
in with the general scheme. The step
from the high school to the universi-
ty is sometimes deemed long one in
an educational way. 1t is in other
ways only continuation, promo
ton as ever and as regular as from
one grade to another in the schools.
The schools of the state fit boys
and girls to fit themselves for life
work. The university is the place
where they are given the opportunity
to fit themselves. The schools are
passive, in a way, for the learning
is forced upon the student from an

outside pressure. In the university the
learnign begins to assume the active
aspect-the outside pressure is there,
but the student there begins to fit
himself to absorb and reach out for
this learning, and to make efforts to
get it. He is successful only so far as
he shows a desire % meet the teach
ers half way and to accept and digest
what they offer, and to eagerly go
ahead seeking more.
Therein the institution becomes
most acceptable supplement to edu-
cation. the final process which
though different than the earlier
processes is still the most satisfy
ing. The state university offers
young men and women of the state
new life. Those who are wealthy and
who have the means to attend any
institution in the land can find some
thing there to keep their attention
and to make them the better for 60
ing.
coin school the greatest possible
amount of encouragement 1t is the
school where poor students can show
the mettle they are made oft is one
school where is placed in the stu
dents own hands his very destiny:
There he can either make himself
or throw himself away.
The choice of work is large. The
incoming student can fit himself for
any profession or for any calling. In

engineering, in law, In sciences, in
arts, in agriculture, in medicine or in
business the beginner may find the
studies necessary to carry him to the
top. They are taught by competent,
sympathetic men and women.
The equipment is good, the at
mosphere of the town and Of the
campus is of the best. The oppor-
tunities, in a word, are as ideal as
they can be found anywhere on dear
old Mother Earth. If the student
cannot go ahead under the inspira-
ton of all these advantages he is
handicapped by outside matters then
which should have no place in his life
as student.
Cultural work and vocational work
are given with equal sincerity at the
Lincoln school. The members of the
faculty there pride themselves on
their ability and their desire to give
instruction successfully to both those
who are catering to the so-called
more refined" instincts and those
who are hewing out their own future
by preparing for it in spirit Of mod
ern commercialism.

have sought to keep that aim upper>
most. The faculty of the present
time has 1t no less than did the first
faculty--the only difference is that
the present Institutional staff has
more at its command with which to
carry on its labor.
Nebraska is one great farm, and
most of Nebraska's population, Lere-
fore, great farmer. The Institution
thought Of this early in its organiza-l
ton, and il provided for teaching Ne.
hraskans all il could about the tilling
OF the soil and the planting of crops
So hat the earth would produce the
most and the most money would be
gathered into the farmers strong box.
Farming is science, according to
the belief expressed by one Nebraska
tradesman who visited the big farm
institution at Lincoln one day, and
who realized that efforts made there
to produce good farmers in the state
are just as comprehensive and asl
methodcal as in the making of docs
tor or a preacher.
The farmer is taught how to pick
soil first for the various crops. He 10
taught how to plant and how to ro-
tate them, how to choose teams with
which to do the work, how to buy
machinery and how to keep it, and
how to take care of the grain as il
grows, how to harvest il and store ii
and how to market it. He is taught,
too, how to feed animals to &c the
most work out of them, how to breed
them for the strongest offspring, and
how to construct his farm buildings
so that he can do the most work in
the least time and without constantly
wasting money day by day making
false moves.
He is taught, at the farm, how to
combat diseases which exists among
his animals or in his grain, he Is
taught how to supplement his chief
industry with the secondary farm in
dustrics, such as raising poultry and
vegetables and dairying and he is
given practical demonstrations galore
in the direct returns to be gathered
in by those who farm according 70
some rule and to see, too, the losses
that may come and do come to those
who farm without any rules at all
or with precious little observance oil
the few rules they do know.
All OF this is done at the state farm
and farm bookkeeping is given
along with it for the boys, and there
are elaborate courses given for the
prospective farm wife. She is taught
how to feed hired men the most

APPRAISAL BOARD
MAY ASK BENEFITS
Question Over Clarity of
Title Claimed By Black
Rock Resident.

Despite the action of the common
council in voting for new layout for
Growers avenue in Black Rock, p. S.
Pearsa1l, who claims the land over
which this road runs and who recent
Marys-by-the-Sea, is not disposed to
accept the decision of either the city
attorney or the common council.
Agents of Mr.. Pearsall have been very
busy for several months searching g
records at the city hall.
At present the matter is in the
hands of the board of appraisal of
benefits and damages. The new
layout of Growers avenue or Growers
Hill road, as it is more familiar1y
known to the old residents of the
Black Rock district, goes through
land which Mr.. Pearsall claims
In return for this land, which it is
proposed to take. the common coun-
ell has voted that Mr.. PearsalI be
given the land over which the old
road now runs. This will give him
possession of all the ground from
the crest of Growers Hill down to the
line of the new road which it is pro-
posed sha i skirt the sea shore front

Rock harbor past the summer villa
Of Gen. Thomas L. Watson, under the
brow of the hill around st. Marys-by-
the-Sea and into Gilman avenue at a
point a short distance from the Court
land club
It is said that Mr.. Pearsan -is un-
willing to accept this arrangement
and that he is now endeavoring to es-
tabIish his title to all the property in
the vicinity and to close it to future
use by the public.
Residents of Black Rock claim that
the present Growers avenue has been
open to public travel for more than
IS years and that it was a thorough
fare to the beach at st. Marys before
Thomas w. Pearsa11, father of the
present, claimant, bought the property
at Growers Hill.
That section was then known as the
borough of Black Rock and had its
own postofdce, but its. government was
by the town of Fairfield About 20
years ago this section was annexed TO
Bridgeport. The late Thomas w
,Pearsa11 purchased much land at
Growers Hill and vicinity and built a.
number of handsome summer homes
there which he furnished and sub-Iet
to wealthy persons.
The summer colony that came there
every year was counted among the
most exclusive in the United States.

GUNSOT EXPERTS
CALLED TO STAND
in HAINES TRIAL
B1ody Fingerprints at Farm
house Brought Into Trial
For First Time.

Today's session in the trial of ia
Son s. Haines for the murder of his
wife, Anna, when both were residing
on the Chestnut Hill road TrunbulI,
last September resulted in open op-
position to the first of a series of ex-
perts that have been summoned for
the state.
During an effort to present expert
testimony on the character and man
ufacture of shot gun shells by Leon
William Beardsley, a we'll known
experimenter in the subjects of guns
and ammunition, the state felt COM
PEELED to withdraw the witness and
an adjournment was taken until later
when it was expected that ba1Iistic
heads of the Union Metallic Cartridge
Co. might answer summons sent to
them.
For the first time in the testimony
offered for the state, the appearance
of bloody prints, probably of a hand,
were disclosed to have been visible
on the. rear of the Haines home
shortly after the crime. Sheriff
Simeon E.. Pease, who was again re-
called to the stand today testified of
having seen such prints.
That it was George E. Hayes, a
former Bridgeport policeman, who
turned Haines over to the a1thori-
ties of Newtown on the morning of
capture was made plain today in
sworn statements of Hayes, who dis
closed the fact that Haines was seen
standing on the main street by him
and remained there for nearly 10
minutes while Hayes was sumrnoning
Sheriff Brakeman and Constable
Thomas Carlson. An effort on the
part of the defense to have the wit
ness testify as to Haines condition
at the time of capture was success
fully opposed by the state with the
result that the witness was asked to
remain in the court that he might
be called for the defense if wanted.
Constable Thomas Carlson, of New
town, told of placing Haines under
arrest and taking from his left side
coat pocket several loaded gun shells.
Tt was further shown that the New
town lookup in which Haines ~1s
placed was SO damp and. cold that
the officers were unable to remain in
side with Haines but were compelled
to seek the exterior of the building to
keep warm.
Though the witness was permitted
to state that DR.. f. J. Gale of New
town visited the prisoner in the lock-
up, the state successfully opposed an
answer to the question of whether DR..
Gale or not gave the prisoner anything g
at the time.
Two witnesses were heard today
upon the question of the number of
gunshot wounds probably inflicted
upon the body of Mrs. Haines. DIR.
George B. Garlick of 474 State street,
g. city physician and DIR. E. B. Weldon.
of 327 Broad street, of the emergency
hospital, both of whom were present
at the autopsy, declared that in their
opinion three shots were fred into the

MOEWE, GERMAN RAIDER
THAT CAPTURED APPAM.
is TAKEN BY CRUISER

Buenos Ayres, March 2-Press de-
spatches from Montevideo say that a
steamer arriving from Europe inter
cepted near the coast of Brazil a wire
less message stating that British
cruisers had captured the German
auxiliary cruiser Moewe.
The MoeWe, it was said, was taken
by the British cruisers to the Island
of Trinidad.
The American steamer Santa Bar
bara has arrived at Montevideo, her
captain making the announcement
that a. French cruiser which put out
from Daker, ON the west coast of Afri-
ca, encountered a German raider,
name not given, and opened fire on
her.
Under cover of the darkness, the
German ship got away. She was,
however, damaged ON her upper
works by the French fire.
There is some doubt, however. as
to the identity of the German vessel
