CHA NGES
IN SCHOOL
FAIL.
IN HOUSE.
Measure Affecting ParOChiaI
and Private Institutions En-
crossed for Third Read
ing; Brings Long Debate.
(From a staff Correspondent.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 20.-After a
whole day of debate and parlia-
mentary skirmishing on the part Of
members the lower house Of the
legislature, in committee of the
whole, with DR.. Jenison of Clay,
presiding, recommended H. R. No.
"a, the bill placing the parochial and
private schools of the State under
the operation of the same laws as
govern the common schools, for en-
grossment and third reading.
Effort after effort was made to
amend the bill so as to satisfy in
some measure the demands of the
Catholics who were opposing GER
tain features OF the measure, but the
supporters of the law as amended
in the committee on education and
presented to the house, fought every
effort successfully and presented an
impregnable front at all times.
When an amendment was pro-
posed exempting the parochial and
private schools from the necessity
Of having their text books pre-
scribed by the state and county
school authorities, this, too was de-
feated.
The effort was made by Foster of
Douglas, who contended that this
provision would give the American
School Book company a practical
monopoly on the text book and
school supply business of the state.
The Catholics paid for their own
text books and supplies and should
be given the right to select their
own books provided they met with
the requirements Of the law as to
efficiency in instruction.
Legalizes Monopoly.
Axtell of Fairbury supported the
motion for the amendment, and said
that he had had experience in sell
ing school books and supplies. and
that the American School Book
company had practical monopoly
of the business in this state, and
that the law compelling the
parochial and private schools to
adopt these text books would legal
ize this monopoly.
This amendment was voted down,
as was every subsequent amend
ment, it being the seeming purpose
of the majority of the house to
adopt the bill in its integrity as sub
mitted by the committee on edu-
cation.
Hostetler of Buffalo made an at
tempt to have the bill recommitted
for further consideration and lie
was supported in this by Mathew
son, who contended> that the law
was a new one and would probably
have to go through the courts for
Interpretation.
J. Reed Green of Lancaster stated
that every amendment made to the
bill had been passed on by the at
torney general of the state, who
had given them his 20. K" with the
one exception of the amendment
which provides for all teachers in
the parochial and private schools Of
the state shall obtain certificates
before September /, 1919.

DATE OF DRIVE WILL

The fact that the date for the begin ming of the drive for the Armenian Syrian relief fund will not begin until February in Pulaski county. does not affect the date of the opening of the drive in Jefferson county according to county chairman, w. B. Sorrells.
 A meeting of the county chairmen was held at Little Rock yesterday ander the auspices of the National Committee for Armenian-Serian relief and MT. Altheimer, county chairman for PulasA county made the announce ment of the postponement.
 Judge Sorrells announced on his re- turn last night that since the Jeffer- son county organization is already completed, the campaign for this coun- tvs quota will begin on Jan. 12, as originally planned. This was the opin- ion of the committee in Little Rock when they were informed by Judge Sorrells that Jefferson county did not need any further time.

GREY, GAUNT WINTER
 IS NOW GRIPPING US
With the Temperature at Nine Above at ii O'clock Last Night. Indica- tions Are Twill Be Below Today.

Although the advertised blizzard did not hit Pine Bluff or rather, though, it has not yet hit Pine Bluff, the weather for two days has been most savage Wednesday afternoon there was savage burst of sleet and snow, but this soon was gone, leaving the weather clearer, but followed by more intense cold
 The sleet and snow left after the short burst Wednesday has frozen over, leaving a thin coating of ice on the sidewalks and in the gutters. This residue of the blizzard has become packed, and is no less than dangerous, as was proven when the watchman at one of the local cotton congresses suffered severe bruises yesterday as result of slipping on some of it.
 A wreck on the Cotton Belt at Zent, seven miles north of Brinkley, was the result of the exceedingly slippery track which was caused by the sleet and snow freezing and form ing a slippery covering on the rails. The train was q freight doing some switching north of Brinkley, when the acciC Ut occurred There were sev- eral cars and the caboose derailed, though fortunately, there was no one injured.
 Weather Man Predicts Warmer
 Weather.
 The weather forecast for today and tomorrow is fair and warmer, how ever.
 This has in effect been, the condi- hn weather is clear, but extremely cold a still sort of cold which is not so apparent at first, but which seems to creep down into the marrow of the body after being out in it for any length of time.
 At midday, and for an hour or two thereafter, the sun has made it's ap- pearance, thus warming things up slightly. But the sullen grey of the skies soon blots out that source of warmth.
 Poor Cared For.
 It is with a comfortable feeling that the recent report of Miss Hunnicott of~the Associated Charities is read. The statement from that organization is that all of the families unable to procure heat will be cared for, as they have been in the past.
 The hopelessness of the gas situa- tion is indeed unfortunate at this time, but wood can be secured and nearly every one who has depended on gas are provided with other means of heating and cooking.
 It is to be hoped that the weather man is right in his dope, and that it will get warmer, and then much more warmer. It seems that friend Sol has joined in with the gas company, and is determined that he too, will deny us his heat. Which is another tech. nicat "act of Providence
 Temperature Last Night.
 The temperature at 9 o'clock last night was 16 above zero, and at Ii o'clock it was g above zero. Unless the warm spell comes before day, the chances are the morning will dawn with the thermometer below the zero mark.
