Just Closed.

During the year OF 1918, IS new
industrial establishments were open
ed in Omaha, and eight institutions
to a large extent increased their
capital and number of people en-
ployed.
In speaking of the industrial adj
vancement of Omaha during the
past year, J. NJ. Gillian, chairman of
the industrial committee, said: The
number of small institutions was not
as great as last year, because many
men with small capital were afraid
OF the unsettled war conditions, and
again many men who had ready cash
invested a great deal of it in Liberty
bonds. There were many concerns
that were meritorious intending to
start business here that kept out for
just those reasons. But the men
with larger amount of capital we're
not alarmed or worried over what
the war might bring forth, conse-
quently while there were not so
many new firms opened for business
in Omaha during the past year, the
ones that did start were large, and
the amount of capital invested and
the number of people employed is
far in excess of last year"
New Industries.
The following are the figures on
the new industries established in
Omaha during 1918:

Births and Deaths Both
Increase During Last Year

Deaths in Omaha during 1918 in
creased more than 40 per cent over
the deaths in 1917. There were
3,540 deaths in 1918, compared with
only 2,535 in 1917, according to the
city health commissioners report.
This increase of ZOOS deaths was
due to the Spanish influenza. Until
October. when the epidemic broke
out here, the deaths each month
were less, in nearly every instance,
in 1918 than in the corresponding
month in 1917. In the last three
months they increased as follows:

The figures on which the prices
are computed are probably con-

OF the year greater proportion of
the wheat sold above 81 a bushel.
Then, too, for a long time during
the early summer most of the corn
sold much higher than Sl.40 a BUSH

tional education in teaching agricul-
ture as distinctly vocational sub
ject, will continue this work, and
most of them will offer additional
courses for next year. Four other
schools, Occur d'Alene, St. Anthony,
Lapwai, and Nampa, have definite
~ undertaken to meet the require
ments for such cooperation and have
asked for aid from the state and fed
eral vocational funds in establishing
vocational agricultural departments.
All of these schools will employ we'll
trained teachers for a full twelve
months year. The instruction offered
will be thoroly practical consisting
largely of laboratory studies and Of
actual farm practice under the super
vision of the teacher.
Ten or twelve other high schools
in widely different parts of the state
are anxious to qualify for vocational
backing, and a number of them will
do so before the opening
of the school year next fall.
The lack of we'll trained agricul-
tural teachers is the greatest obsta-
Gle to progress at the present

HIGH SCHOOLS
C. B. Wilson Reports After State
Visit

School boards, superintendent, and
high school principals in the agricul-

instruction in agriculture should form
an important part of the course of
study in the high school. This is
shown by the fact that seventy seven
Idano high schools report instruction
as being offered in that subject. A
recent visit to over twenty of the
larger schools of the state bring to
light the fact that practically all of
them are planning to increase the
opportunities for agricultural in
struction to be offered next year.
