Sharpe of the traction company told of the difficulty of the com- pany to give adequate street car service to the public of Lincoln because of th storm, which occurred before the arrival of new machinery, which had been for delivery December 1.

But even with the new equipment he sald it would have been absolutely impossible to give good service during the snow of the last month The company had burned out twenty- elght motors in trying to give a reasonable service he sald, when that equipment could have been saved had the traction company simply shut down as the street car companies of other cities had done. Philadelphia he caid had shut down its plant at 2 o'clock on a Saturday and ser- vice had not been resumed before Monday at 10 o'clock, K Het Fire Soom Out.

Tha instructions in field crops and farm animals for the men's section opened in the opera house with a practice period on the score card for cattle by Mr. Coupe and Prof. G. G.

ALLIANCE, Neb, Jan Members of the State Board of Education visited Alliance Monday to Inspect the sites offered for the new normal school. The party was greeted by the city's foremost citizens and taken to the Drake hotel, where luncheon was served, being jolned therein by the reception committee, which consisted of G. L. Griggs, F. Reddish, W. W. Norton, 8. K. Warrick and Mayor F. W. Harris. The committee escorted the guests over the city and to the various tracts offered for their consideration as sites for the normal, either of which the Alllance citi- zen belleves Is sufficiently attractive to war- rant immediate acceptance for a normal. Emphasis was lald on the advantages offered such an institution by the modern city of Alllance. The trip of the afternoon was followed at 6 o'clock by a banquet at the Alifance hotel, which more than 100 citizens attepded. The invocation was pronounced by Rev. J. L. Vallow of the Methodist Episcopal church. Ira E. Tash, postmaster and presi- dent of the Commercial club, was toast- master. R. M. Hampton, vice president of the First Natlonal bank and president of the Nebraska Stock Growers' assoclation, entered seriously Into the advantages offered by Alllance for the normal, in re- sponding 19F the subject, “Western Ne- braska—Its Future Development." ““Alllance—Its Moral and Religious Atmos- phere,” was dwelt upon by Father W. L. McNamara, pastor of the Holy Rosary Catholic church, He said Alliance should have the school because It is a city com- posed of law-abiding cltizens. ““When I discovered the subject upon which I was to speak,” said Father McNamara, "I began to cast about for material. I betook my- self to the legal fraternity of our city and 1 was informed, not by one, but by all the attorneys of Alllance, that one attorney could easily attend (o ull the law practice of Box Butte county, and one legal gentle- man, In order to add force to his argument, added that this one would surely starve to death. “Alllance 1s a city of over 6000 inhabi- tants. Yes, it Is a busy city, but from this you must not get the impression that it ls not a religlous city. We have nine large churches, bullt and maintained by the peo- ple of Alliance. Other citles can boast of their large congregations of women, of thelr large Sunday school classes, and while we are not behind them in these, we sur- pass all others in the number of church- golng men, “When the Catholics of northwestern Ne- braska decided to build an academy to care for the needs of the people, they decided after mature deliberation to place it where it was likely to do the most good and minister to the wants of the greater num- ber, and It was in Alliance that St. Agnes' academy was built.” Senator L. L Raymond of Scotts Bluff followed, speaking to the subject, ““Tribu- tary Territory.” Mr. Raymond sald the newly opened up portion of the valley along the Union Pacific road was also in the van for the location of the normal at Alliance. Superintendent of City Schools D, W. Hayes, an ex-member of the State Board of Bducation, gave “Educational Data.” He produced facts and flgures that proved that from a meager beginning the Junior Normal that has been located in this city years has gradually 8rown to be the largest of its kind In the state, Under the escort of the Crawford com- mittee, the board will leave in the morn- ing for that place after which they will proceed to Chadron, Alllances most for- midable opponent. Prof. V(’ilson ' Warns Students Member of Law College Faculty Says Dances, Theaters and Parties Menace to Education, LINCOLN, Jan. 4—(Speclal)—In a talk before the freshman law class in torts this morning, Prof. H. H. Wilson of the Uni- versity of Nebraska Law college faculty, declared that large cities in which universi- tles are located are a menace to the edu- | cation of the young Americans who attend those institutions; that they offer too many sources of amusement and entertainment which enervate and enfeeble the young blood. “As I have watched your work during the last few months,” spoke Prof. Wilson to his students, “I have been astounded by the ravages that the evils of the modern city life have made on the powers of the uniyersity students of today. The large city offers too many pleasures for consist- ent study by the college students who livt in it; the small town gives the best college atmosphere, and as a result produces the best college graduates. “Study In the city is made difficult by the many things that distract the student's attention from his work. The fraternity dances, the theaters—and Lincoln now has 50 many that a person can attend one every night In the week—and the many soclal functions that obtain in the city, give the students an opportunity to turn their at- tention from the class and study rooms, with the result that their power and eqergy 1s sapped up by these functions outside the college. Even the purely innocent plessures when given no restraint are a big evil. “I wish to warn you young men who are in this law class that if you will cat out Just one-half of your outside events during the rest of your college life that you will find yourselves doing much better worg in school than you have done heretofore. “A young man cannot remain out at a dance or show until 12 o'clock on three or four nights of the week and then expeet to do efficlent school work. He has not the energy left to get to work In the right way. A young man in college is like the farmer who eats up all his seedcorn—he cannot grow & crop.” Deaf Mute Siloots to End His Life Edward Brouhard of Beaver City, After Celebrating His Birthday, Commits Suicide. .
