The schools this season are in charge of Prof. Wm Ebright as susperintendent, who is assisted by nineteen competent instructors. Prof. Ebright was born in Penn. and educated at the Carthage, Illinoise, college. In 1881 he began as an instructor, and has met with flattering success. For two years Prof Ebright served as superintendent of the Nebraska State Institution for the Blind. Two years ago shortly before he came to take charge of the North Platte schools, Prof. Ebright was vested with the degree of A. M. Since his advent as superintendent our schools have reached a profficiency never before attained--which is more than a passing compliment to the man in charge of them. During his residence in North Platte, Prof. Ebright as made many warm friends socially as well as professionally who will rejoice at his marked success. The school board is composed of intelligent, conservative business men, under whose directions a successful and satisfactory school management is assured. About 1,000 pupils are enrolled although the district contains many more children of legal school age. Scholars graduating from the schools are eligible to enter normal college without further examination. As no town or city in Nebraska presumes for a minute to have existence without a public school, so North Platte appreciating the inestimable advantages accruing from this source, has fully provided all the facilities demanded by its youth for educational purposes. The city certainly has good reason to feel a laudable pride in her public schools.
