CHANCES IN THE SCHOOL Mhmht Fowler Balioves it is | ners n an Era of Oonsolidation. RULING ON. THE MARKING .OF BALLOTS Ty O A R Selegts OMoial Route for Nebrasfans Who Wish fo Attend (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug. 19.—(Specjal.)—Closer or- @anization of ety schools; as Incresse in the aversge salary pald to the teachers of both rural and ity schools and a de- ereass in the number of school bulldings through comsolidation ape - among the changes predieted by State Superintendent Fowler to take place in the school condi- tions of Nebraska during the remainder of the decade. Mr. Fowler is just completing a cam- . palgn with the teachers' institutes through- out the state. He has visited upward of balt of the counties, and his predictions are based largely upon his own observation of actual conditions. “I feel safe in predicting a much closer organization of the city schools,” sald Mr. Fowler. “I belteve all the city superin- Itendents amd principals will be required 'y law to make as complete reports and to furmish as accurate statistics as the county superintendents now are, and that their work will be done more systemali- veally. There will be a revision of the ,method of assessment and levylng of taxes . bofore 1910 and a consequent reduction of the minimum levy. “Let us hope that the nmumber of men ,‘-chrl employed, which decreased 30 per |nll during the past decade, will increase, le the number of women teachers, ch decreased only about 4 per cent, will |remain stationary. In thls connection I -would call attention to the fact that the \average monthly wages of men during the ten years increasod $3.26, while that of the Ywomen decreased $1.02. In both there should must be a material increase If we wish to keep In the profession the better qualified Changes the Schools.

A member of the oclvil government class of the public schools of .Jjoone ocounty asked the Department of Publie Instrustion a few days ago to decide the question whether, if a man marks a ballot at an elcction with a pencll different in color from that provided in the booth, his ballot will be counted. In th this question it was explained that the class was unable to come to a satisfattory con- clusion. Superintendent Fowler referred the inquiry to the attorney general and the followlng decislon was given: “In absence of fraud a ballot marked in compliance with all statutery requirements, except that the marks were made in a color different from that specified by law, should not be rejected om account of such vari- ance In the colors. The use of the wrong pencil 414 not in any way obscure the in- tention of the voter, and, while it was his duty to mark the ballot directed by law, his vote should not be disregarded in determining the result of the election where he bas plainly expressed his own judgment without violating & mandatory provision of the statutes. The state ia in- terested in giving effect to the will of the majority as expressed at the ballot box. In giving effect to this principle the courts hold that a statutory provision specitying & particular kind of mark is directory merely, unless made mandatory by express provision of the law, and that a disregard of such a direction does not, in absence of fraud, invalidate the ballot of the voter ‘whose intention has been clearly expressed at_the polls.” Route for the Veterans, Department Commander Steele and As- sistant Adjutant General Howe have ar- ranghd for a special traln to run over the Rock Island route from Omaha to Chi- cago for the accommodation of the Ne- braska veterans who go to the national Grand Army emcampment in Washington next October. It will leave Omaha on Oc- tober 4. Two cars will be assigned for Omahs veterans, one car will be left at Lincoln, one at Fairbury, which will be the department headquarters car, and one at Hastings. They will be brought together into gne train at Omaha. If more coaches @re needed they will be supplied without delay, The route fsm Chicago to Wash- ington has not been determined. It i cer- tain, however, that the train will go un- broken clear to Washington. Action on Scheol Lands. The State Board of Educational Lands and Funds will meet tomorrow to consider matters in connection with the school lands of the state. The meeting was to bave been held to but owing to the absence of several of thé members it was postponed until tomerrow. \ No Trouble at North Platte.

Banderson of Galasburg Defeats Ohieage Orack st Tennis SENSATION OF TOURNAMENT UP TO DATE Unexpected Result of Mateh Over- turns All Calculations and Foroes Wise Ones to Revise Their Prognostications. The defeat of B. M. Asheraft of Chicago by F. R. Sanderson of Galesburg, Ill., in the second round of the Interstate tennis tour- nament at the Fleld club Tuesday afternoon furnished both the surprise and the sen tion of the play so far. This result, unex- pected by all, overturns caloulations as to the players who will reach the finals ahd even the semi-finals, which was though to bo 80 plain on the face of the drawings. Again, the match brought out easily the prettiest tennis of the tournament to date, and it was fought point by point to the end through three sets. Asheraft was unani- motsly beoked for a winner in this match and also in the third round to follow, which would place him in the semi-finals. But Sanderson won by pure tennis, and won well. A large gallery was kept In throes of ex- citement during the contest, for Interest was aroused at the start by the fact that | Sanderson seemed to be takink the first set bands down from the Chlcago star. He | quickly ran Asheraft to 65-2, and then the | latter by a sustained rally took five straight | games, winning the set. Spectators thought {the let down on Sanderson’s part meant he | had lost his nerve, but it was not so. The next set he took 6-2 and the third 6-4. The result shows first of all that Ash- craft is not as good a clay court man as Sanderson. On grass courts he is third best man in Chicago, being surpassed only by Waldner and Collins. Each man yesterday played much the same style of game, which made the contest closer. Both did much lobbing, where Sanderson excelled. He lobbed out of court but once. There was 0 much net work by each, but Sander- son kept Ashcraft back a good deal by lobbing, and it proved a winning game, When it came to the drives Ashcraft showed beautiful back court work. At the net San- derson was on the whole the quicker and surer of the two. Up to the Third Round. Meanwhile all the other matches were completed up to the third round, so there now remain but eight players in singles. They play today as follows: Wilder against Peters, Parker against Farnsworth, Sand; son against Raymond, Sheldon against Cald- well. All these come off this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Interest centers in the Parker- Farnsworth affair. Either man should be able to defeat Peters or Wilder, 80 on the match 1s considered to hinge one name for the semi-finals, representing the top half of the drawings.

This will bring Sanderson and Sheldon together, and it will be a bat- Ue royal for the nnais. So the winner of Sanderson-Sheldon will play the winner of Parker-Farnsworth for the challenge cup, unless some upheaval should occur. At this point the tournament is considered to be very open, with the result a tossup. There 1s no safe bet on the winner. . The second best match Tuesday was be- tween Raymond and McGee. At Sloux City last week Jerome beat “Ike,” but Raymond turned the tables this time, winning after a terrific struggle—4:6, 0-4, 6-4. In this match, too, the loser took the firet set. The boys played a florce game, but there was considerable wildness. McGee had his well known style, but showed his usual lack of control. Raymond meanwhile wi wilder than usual, making him about loose as his opponent. Both lobbed poorly, but drives and pa and net work were good. Raymond finally won by steadying down and becoming the safer and surer of § the two. One Omaha Player Left, Sam Caldwell, the only Omaha player now left on the list, worked himself nicely into the third round by his second victory, beating Croskey 8-6, 6-2. Caldwell con- tinues to play better tennis t! ever. To- day he meets a hard proposition in Dr. Sheldon. Earl Farnsworth took two Sioux City men in a row and laid them both out, Hiles was first, and he succumbed to “The Brownle” 6-0, 6-1. Next came Gilman, who ‘was beaten 6-3, 6-2. Carter Wilder of Kansas Oity appeared for the first time In play, he having had default victory in the first round. He played J. W. Towle of Omaha yesterday, and won 6-2, 6-3. Wilder meets Peters to- morrow. 0. A. Abbott, Jr., of Grand I feated O. 8. Erwin of Omaha , and then went down before Peters o! Chi- cago 6-0, 6-0. Peters won from L. Middle- kauff of Lexington, Neb., his first draw, by default. Results of the Morning. Tuesday morning the tournament commit- tee finally began to chalk up defauits. C. 8. Carey of Sioux City defaulted to J. W. Towle of Omaha, and E. W. McBride of Topeka, Kan.,, belng suddenly called back there last night, defaulted to Carter Wilder of Kansas City. These were both first round matches, Towle and Wilder meet this afternoon i the second round. Then Fred Hamilton of Omaha defaulted to Henry T. Clarke, jr., who is playing in place of T. 8. Blair of St. Louls, so that brought Clarke against W. G. Parker carly this afternoon. Parker won, 6-0, 6-3. George Pritchott of Omaha de- faulted to Fred Dufrene of Omaha, and the latter played F. E.

The most interesting match of the morn- ing was that between Asheraft and McNeal, as it brought the Chicago man out on the courts for the first time. He showed him- self a splendid player, being a reaily skill- ful placer. He plays a heady game always, it being plain that every ball he hits has mental direction. In addition to that Ash- craft has a short stroke that is exceedingly deceptive in its strength, so that the balls, while skimming the net close, yet go deep back Into the court. The first set wept ily to Ashcraft, but in the next McNeal made him earn it. McNeal passed well and be has a drive to the back line that is & winner, thovgh dangerous.

Dufrene showed a stroke, however, both on serve and return, that is a comer, and for a new player he made a strong showing against the Kansas City orack. The Brown-Carey match was flercely contested and it took the Omaha man three sets to win. He finally worked out 8 vietory by excelling at the net, and by smashing them when ha could, Carey took the first set, but his lob, which is dome In beautiful style, went out too often by nar- row margine.
