The Women's Relief Corps of Omabs, auxiliaries to the Grand Army of the Re- publie, have taken the initiative for the celebration of Arbor day in a practical manner. They will plant trees in memory of thelr dead members. The exercises will take place at Fontanelle park. This ides was brought from California by Mrs. T. Hull of Benson and was Introduced in George Crook Woman's Re- llef Corps No. 8, of which she 15 a mem- ber. A committee was appointed from the corps to petition the park commissioners for the privilege of planting trees in the city parks. The Park board heartily ap- proved of the observance, and granted the privilege of using Fontanelle park this year. [n conformity with this permission, three birch trees will be planted with ex- ercises in honor of three prominent army nurses and workers in the Woman's Rellef corps. The women to be thus honored and those who will plant the trees in memory of them are: Anna Wittenmeyer, army nurse.

The campaign which the police have in- augurated against automobile drivers who exceed the speed limit 1s still being car- ried on and fhe plain clothes officers on motorcycles who are detaled to carry it out are still finding something to do. Shortly after 6 o'clock last evening Emergency Officers Morgan and Reigel- man noticed George F. Reim, who drives for the Kimball Automobile company, go- ing mueh too fast at Seventeenth and Cap- itol avenue. They gave chase and over- havled him on Sixteenth street near Grace. He was placed under arrest and told to follow the officers with his machine to the station. Instead of doing so, however, he opened up his engines and attempted to get away. The mile-a-minute motorcycles were too much for him, however, and he was’ agaln overtaken on Sherman avenue near Madison, and in order that he might not attempt any more scorching he was glven a ride to the police station in the patrol wagon He was released n bond and will be heard Monday morning.

HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP PRIZE of Colleges—Doings al Field Here Elsewhere, Hereafter the Nebraska university will not have to go to the legislature to get that body to appropriate the money given by the general government to the Institu- tion. Under a recént decision of the su- preme court it was held that this money should be avallable for the use of the #chool upoh its receipt by the state treas- urer, without waiting for any action on the part of the legislature. Heretofore the money from the general government has been appropriated by the state before it could be taken out of the treasury by the regents. Judge W. B. Rose filed a vigorous dis- senting opinlon in the case, holding that no money should be taken out of the treas- ury unless it had been appropriated by the legislature in accordance with the pro- vistons of the constitution, but the other judges, Chief Justice Reese taking no part, opposed the decision of Judge Rose. As a result of this decision it will mot Do necessary for the regents to explain to the legislature just how much money they get from the government, and It I8 be- lleved this will not tend to make legisla- tures more liberal with the school Several members of the late legislature expressed ‘themselves in favor of a direct appropriation for the university Instead of the 1-mill levy, and it s very probable an effort will be made during the next two years to make this quite an issue. This would enable the people to know exactiy how much money the school has at its disposal High School Scholarship Prize. The Nebraska Assoclation of Colleges, consiating of Bellevue, Cots Doane, Grand Island, Hestings, Nebraska Wes esan and York, continues to send out a joint certificate ¢f scholarship to all high schools on the accredited list ot the University of Nebraska. This certificate allows “'a reduc- tion of $25 a year for each of four years on tuition during residence and pursuit of the regular college or academy courses of study.” It s given only to the student taking highest rank in scholarship at gradu- ation. It allows the holder to pursue a continuous and complete course in any of the institutions named or to attend any one of them for & year at a time. It is good for five years, but must be presented at the beginning of the first or second college year after graduation. It is not transter- able and cannot be usec to pay tuition In & business or & gormal course, or music, elocution or fine arts. Such a scholarship bears witness to the good fellowship exist- ing among these seven Nebraska institu- tions and is a bright connecting link be- tween high school and college. It ought to stimulate & host of high school students to do their best in the local school and then to push on to something Ligher. In many ways it Is worth more than the $100 written across Its face. D. B. PERRY, President of the Association. Kearney Normal News. The gates were opened and the water from Lake Kearney was brought down over the normal campus }br lawn irrigation. The grass is coming In fine shape and by com- mencement time the campus will be beauti- ful. The nursery stock for finishing tife parking of the grounds is being set out. In a very short time the Kearney grounds will rival anything in the country for beauty. The $0,00 appropriated for building pur- poses is now available and it is expect:d that the building will be begun during the present summer and completed just as early as possible, as the school is very much cramped for room just at the present time and the new bullding will very greatly re- lleve the situation. President Thomas went to Hayes Centar | Baturday, where he addressed the County Teachers' assoclation that afternoon and evening. There is a great demand over the state for trained teachers, and the graduates of the higher course, as well as many others, are being rapidly located. Among the most recently located are Bertha Schumacher, German and Emglish, Red Cloud High school; Mabel Morrison, assistant In high school of Eustis; Beulah Ward, assistant in &ilver Creek High school; Minnie Blanch- ard, assistant principal, Bridgeport; Annle Mercer, grade position in Cogad; Agnes Robinson, grade position in Oakdale; Kath- leen Cole, grade position in Lexington, and Lera Muckel, grade position in Riverton. The first division of senlors gave their theses Monday evening in the chape!. The compositions were unusually good. Miss Nola Ritchey gave her thesis in chapel Thursday morning.

On Monday Miss Annie Mercer, senifor, presented her seventh and eighth grades in music at the chapel, Tuesday Miss Bertha Schumacher, senior, pre- sented the Intermediate model schools, and Wednesday Miss Ruth Greene pre- sented the primary schools In music. The vocal music department of the State Normal school of Kearney ls eppecially strong and there is great demand for Mrs. Steadman's students in music In the public schools of the state.

Mrs. Roachman of Denver, whose son I8 attending the school, paid him a brief visit recently. A large number of the cadets have had the “duck fever’ and while there were many hunters bold, there was little game to show for their prowe: The regular monthly examinations were held Wednesday and Thursday, April 7 and 8 The school had a holiday on Good Fri- day. The track s now in good condition and the real hard work for the team has begun in earnest. The try-out for places on the team will take place shortly and it will be & real contest botween soms of the old- liners and some very g0od new material which has developed among some of the late arrivals. It is hoped there will be a meet every week in May. There will be the Five meet, held in Kearney, one held with Hastings and Kearney, and the meet at Lincoln. This will give the team about all they can do. Several of the cadets who reside near Kearney went (o their homes to spend Baster with the home folks, but the cadets who live some distance were not so fortu- nate as the school had no regular vacation and the time was not available to make the trip. Right Rev. Bishop Graves was here for confirmation oz the 8th, and a class of sev- enteen received the apostolic rite of the laying on of hands. The bishop preached a sermon on the results of cowardice such as Pllate displayed, and he recelved marked attention. One feature of the service was the &inging by the boys, there beéing a regular choir of sixteen voices, all boys, and the entire school jolned with them. The drill on Saturday mornings is as- suming & great deal of importance as the end of the term draws near, for it is on these morning drills that a place in the tinal drill down on Commencemént day for the medal rests. Cadets having a cer- tain number of points are allowed to take part in the final drill. Compeny B has had its flag up for the last two weeks, this making honors quite even for all three companies. The first track meet will be held with the Kearney High school April 3 at the State Normal grounds at Kearney, Founders' day, on the 15th, was duly ob- served in the customary manner with dress parade in the morning and the regu- lar dance in the evening. The drill was held on the campus just west of Cochran hall and was one of the best ever wit- nessed at the school. The band made a creditable showing and the companies were handled by, their respective officers in u manner which showed careful training. From now on, weather permitting, there will be frequent dress parades on Sunday evenings immediately following supper. The dance in the evening was well attended and a large number of Kearney people were present, as well as severnl out-of- town people, among whom were Dr. and Mrs. Hatfield of Grand Isiand, Miss Ruth Boyden of Grand Island and Miss Van Winkle of York. RESEARCH IN GERMANY. Methods of Promotion Rewa In Germany the universities are under the control of .the government. Therefore, the German government, searching among the students of the univerities, and finding the keenest and brightest intellects i posed to the study of medicine, both as a sclence and as a profession, is able to take these young men and establish them in professorships, where there ls no anxiety as to the means of livelihood. An anecdote, related by a correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, will, perhaps, best {llustrate this feature of the relation of the German government to the univeri- ties. When the organization of the Johns Hopkins university was being perfected, it was the speclal desire to secure as pro- fessors some of the foremost pathologists of Germany. Representatives of the Johns Hopkins university went to Germany with what were presumed to be tempting and irresistible invitations. They offered as much as $10000 a year salary, and In one instance $16,000 a year, to pathologists who are of distinction in Germany, hoping thereby to bring tHem to the Johns Hop- Kins university. But it was soon discovered that no money offer could fempt them. They recelved directly from the govern- ment salaries sufficlent for comfortable support, with assurance that, when they wero compelled to lay down active work a | pension for lite would be pald them. They were therefore free trom any dlstraction or anxiety respecting income, being for that reason able to devote their entire working time to their professional opportunities and duties, One of -these professors, having declined an offer of $15,000 ry, sald that in the United States was a young man of high talent and great acquiremen{ who was abundantly qualified for a professorship of that kind. They knew him because he had studled In Germany. He was Dr. Willlam H. Welch. And upon that recommendation this foremost of American blologists was called to his authoritative association with Johns Hopkins university. FRESH AIR IN SCHOOLS, Why Not Practically Illustrate Les- sons Hygiene. With all the theoretical knowledge pre- sumed to be in possession of the world today, relative to the merits of fresh air, says the New York Tribune, an astonish- ing number of persons seem to be very much afrald of it. If this apparent ignor- ance were confined to those whose knowl- edge of the laws of health it might pardon- ably be considered rudimentary, the sur- prise would not be so great, but it Is more |than strange that so many well informed citizens take special pains to keep the fresh lair out of their living rooms, and, particu- larly out of sleeping rooms. It might be presumed that in the schools, at least, proper attention would be pald o so important a subject, yet, If we are to belleve Dr. Luther Gulick—and he prob- ably would have little difficulty in prov- ing the general connection—in two-thirds of the schools of the country the child- ren are sitting In rooms the windows of which are nailed shut. In classrooms full of foul air teachers are instructing pupils in physiology and hygiene, explaining to them the merits of that wonderful natural remedy, oxygen, and then, perhaps, dering how it that truth For the treatment of tuberculosis (he value of fresh air is generally recognized. If it Is so beneficial to the ailing, curing unaided a disease once considered inevit- ably fatal, and doing this even in the more advanced stages, what may it not e depended upon to do in the way of pre venting the thousand one other discases which seize upn the body when it Is in & weakened condition as a direct result of breathing bad air?

VIRGINIA NEGRO SCHOOLS. Searcity of Competent Teachers & Serious Drawback. One of the state examiners estimates that at least one-half of the colored teich- ers of Virginia are unlicensed emergency teachers. This condition has made a very unfavorable impression upon the board of examiners, reports the Southern Work- man. Some are advocating separate exam- inations and lower grade certificates to les- sen the clerical work of the examiners and at the same time secure more licensed col- ored teachers. No merlous distinction h yeot been made between the white and col- ored teachers as to certificates; but we predict that unless there are signs of im- provement such a course will be taken in the near tuture, What obtains In Virginia ®lso holds throughout the south, In many cases to an even more deplorable extent. The educa- tion of the colored people in the south h not kept pace with that of the white peo- ple. The lines of divergence are widening more and more. An absolutely double sy tem In every way is likely to be adopted, unless steps are taken to properly prepare more colored teachers. The day has come when the colored people themselves must begin to shoulder thelr burdens and plan | for thelr own educational betterment In | the public schools; but they can do little uniess public sentiment in the states awak- ens to the fact that even the five grades now taught in the majority of the colored achools cannot be maintained unless teach- ers can be prepared to teach them. The supply of teachers for rural schools in other parts of the country comes largely from the high schools. Better equipped primary schools and more high achools with normal training classes for colored puplls would &0 far toward removing the present diffi- culty. Colorado Colleme, The junior and senlor students in mining engineering in Colorado college have gone to Cripple Creek for field work | during the Easter vacation. The seniors | will sample and report on the Sundown Lode claim on Raven hill, and will also sample several mine dumps and blocks of ground which are for lease in the dis- trict.

Ingersoll is to be pald by the erection | In Peoria, 1L, of & statue of him in bronze | for which the large model has just been completed by Mr. Frederick E. Tricbel, & sculptor of New York. Colonel Ingersoll lived for many years in Peupria and it was while he was prape ticing @s & lawyer there that attention was first drawn to his oratorical powers. On ac- | count of his genial nature he was exceed- | ingly popular in the place, where he was | long a resident. The project to erect a | memorial to him was broached as far back as 1899, shortly after his sudden death at Dobbs Ferry, N. ¥., and the assoctation | having it in hand has at last been ale to see fts plans near realization. { Mr. Triebel knew Colonel Ingersoll well, | having lMved in Peoria at the same time, his choice as squlptor belng therefore ne- cullarly appropriate. The prime mover in the erection of the memorial is Mr. K. T.| Baldwin, president of the Ingersoll Monu- | ment assoclation The statue is to be placed in Glen Ounk | park amid sylvan surroundings, for Colonel Ingersoll was distinguished by his love of nature. The pose is one which Colonel Ingersoll often assumed in bis lectyres, and | erate. conveys the impression of the keen mind and the incisive wit which' animated him, combined with an uncanscious grace. Life- long ‘riends of the celonel say that the likeness is an excellent one. The statue s of herolc size, and when cast in metal will represent an ouflay of $0,000. The com- mittee will also arrange for a pedesta On account of his personal assoclations with the subject, Mr. Tricbel, the sculptor, has been especially Interested in the work. He has had many important commlissions, and was in 1906 elected an academician of merit of the Royal academy of S8an Lucca. Robert Green Ingersoll, to whom after ten years this monument s to be reared, was once the cenfer of a storm of discus- slon and was often vehemently attacked on account of his assaults upon religlous bellefs. Of late years the bitterncss of controversy has been largely forgotten, and he has been spoken of by many With af- fectionate regard on account of his kindly nature and his many acts of unobtrusive charity.—New York Herald.
