The prospects of a big back salary grab, or a raid on the associntion treasury, as the move ways variously aenominated, was hailed with ill-concealed delight by many of the de gates. The idea was so pleasing to the dele- gates from the small associations that they did not propose to give it up without a strug- gle. The amendment was finally snowed under, and tho motion to make the rate hereaft 4 cents per mile one way went through with flying colors, despite the protests of a numbor of delegates who declared it to bo illegal and nothing but asteal, 1t was a reliofto overybody when the ques- tion was finally settl 1d the e tion was declared in order.

D& BEVOISE, General Agent 1 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, SATURDAY, SEDP EMBER ROOM FOR BUDDING INTELUECTS No Place For the Next Crop of High School Pupils, The Board of Education seems utterly unable to 10ose the Gordian knot 1 which the affairs of the High school and Central school are tied. The situation has grown more complicated each year, but the old walls of the High school building ave seem ingly possessed uniimited oxpansive powers and despite the cries that the building was overcrowded, provision has been made for more pupils each year. Now, however, the limit_has been reached and Prof. Louis has issued his ultimatum that moré room will have to ba provided out- side the builaing or the pupils who are to enter the High school this year from thoe va- rious eighth erade schools must be sont home. Thore are about 200 pupils in the class which enters the High school this year and there s lite no room at all for them uniess somn of the Contral sehool grade romoved from tho High school building or some of the High school classes provided for elsowhore This question is one which has perplexed the ablest minds the board for several v but no solution hi 1t is now pronosed to rent a building near the High school and remove tne Fourth and Filth grades of the Central sehool to this building, & two-story frame structure on T th street just south of Dodee, A I' nllevm d ting that the building be rented for a year was possed at the last meeting of the board and the com. mittee on High school and Mr. McConnell, o special committon on the Central school wera directed to take tho necessary steps to get the building in proper shape and look after all details There was consid rable opposition on tho part of Messrs. Babcock and MeConnell, at the board meoting, to tho idea of taking any of the lower grades out of the High school building on the ground that the velinguish- mont of any claims of the board to its right to keep the graded schools on the High school grounds would prevent those grades from cver being returned to those grounds. Mr. Poppleton, on the other hand, objected to the High school being s tered, as such action would meyitably result in Scattering tho High school graies all over town and cavse an enormous increase in the expenses. Mr. Coburn also sprung a_surprise on the board by 1nforming them that the building was immediatoly iu tho rear of a hospitaland drew a touching picture of the dang of contagion if the smaller cnildren were allowed to attend school in that locality. He also referred to the danger of having small childrer in such dangerous proximity to the motor line which passed tho door of the building, All these littlo things were referrod to the committee on High school and the special committee, Mr. Coryell is chairman of the High school commiste and has been all_weele to got his committee tog in order to dispose of this perploxing ques- tion but the mambers of the committee have not como within gunshot of him. T'he other members of the High school committes are Poppleton, McCounell, Martin and schools open on Tuosday and some provisions must be made by that time for the large increaso in the number of pupils in the I 1001, to say nothing of the increase in the Central schoc ssabiile - =L To the 1 am_a travellig mdntand: have heen flicted with what is callod chroni for somo ten years.
