shall want to come before
the Board and get it & give
it careful consideration.

of the state – is the
serious question with us, and
we would like to have the help
of the Board in coming to a
decision.

here that we are all quite
of the opinion that this is the
general direction along which we
must move in our effort to provide
an acceptable – a demanded – education
for the young Nebraskans who
will make a living on farms. They
seem all to turn to stock growers.

But I must stop.

Truly
