TEACHERS' CLUB ACTIVITIES
Active Membership to' Masters and
Doctor Only To Encourage Re
search Along Educational Lines
A graduate teachers club has been
in ' the process of formation at the
University for perhaps a year, and has
recently taken final steps toward its
organization, and the beginning of ac
tivity. Active membership Is open only to
masters and doctors (who hold the
graduate teachers diploma). The as
sociate membership includes the grad
uate students in the school of educa
tion, who anticipate securing the
graduate teachers diploma. The fac
ulty of the graduate school of edu
cation are admitted as honorary mem
bers of the organization.
The main purpose of the club Is to
encourage research and investigation
in all lines of eduactional work and
study. It is the Intention of the offi
cers to present a series of papers
during the year, written by active, as
sociate and honorary members, em
bodying the most vital points in re
search upon which the writers are
working. In short, a series of terse
articles (fifteen to twenty minutes In
length) by specialists In many differ
ent lines. These will be printed com
plete at the end of the year in order
to be accessible for circulation to
other universities, and to teachers or
educators, who may wish to avail
themselves of the same.
It is further hoped that the club
may be of service to the Legislative
Reference Bureau, which is very de
sirious of compiling a book containing
the names, titles and general nature
of all theses which have been writ
ten In the University.
In the course of time, the organiza
tion hopes to see the realization of a
standard official University magazine,
which shall propagate the best mental
efforts of Its graduate members and
faculty.
The organization Is a result of a
more or less general movement in all
larger universities, to concentrate
graduate research in such a way as to
make it of the greatest service to hu
manity, and to educational problems
in particular. It reflects the general
trend toward using the laboratory
method, and scientific investigation in
all subjects, as groundwork for teach
ing. Forty-three of the faculty are eligi
ble to membership, a number of whom
will present papers, giving the basal
principles of research in their special
lines.
The active membership, the real
nucleus of the organization, number
twenty at the present time, all of
whom have done research, and many
are at present, so engaged.
The personnel and problems of re
search are as follows: Mr. W. E. A.
Aul, A. now teaching, took up
the problem of "Moral Degradation;
Its Causes and Cure." Mr. B. J. Breth
ouwer, A. M., superintendent of the
Stuart schools, whose thesis is "Mod
ern Endalmonlsm, while his doctor's
thesis will treat of some educational
problem. C B. Cornell, Ph. D., has
charge of vocational work in the Lin
coln schools. His master's thesis Is,
"Some Weaknesses in Mathematical
Instruction his doctor's thesis deals
with the problem -of securing an ac
curate mental test for school children.
Extended tests were made upon the
grade children of the Lincoln schools
in securing the necessary data for
the same. Frank Dickinson, A. M
Storm Lake, Iowa, wrote upon "Some
Experiments in Color Discrimination."
Ira B. Fee, A- M., superintendent of
schools In Cheyenne, Wyo took up
the study of "Training of the Element
ary Teacher." Cora Friedline, A. M.,
formerly assistant in the psychological
laboratory of the Nebraska University,
now a scholar in Bryn Mawr, took up
tho problem of "A Study of Preco
cious Children in the Lincoln Schools"
where she carried on her tests 'for
the same. Randall R. McGee, A. M.,
superintendent of the ' David City
schools, studied the problem of "Some
Thysical and Mental Measurements of
School Children." Paul Kies, A. M.,
wrote upon "Hauptmann's Florian
Geyer, a Study in Naturalism in the
Historical Drama." Philip Lawrence,
A. M., took for his thesis "The Sec
ondary Schools of Bohemia," with the
intention of continuing the study in
his native country, Bohemia. Bertha
M. Luckey, A. M., wrote upon "Some
Motor Differences Due to Sex and
School Training." Her thesis is par
tially completed for the doctor's de
gree. The preparation of the same
was done in the University of Gotting-
en, Germany, where war terminated
her studies. Ernest F. Monroe, A. M.,
superintendent of the Shelton schools,
has the problem of "The Teaching of
Civics." Cora A. Newman, A. M.,
wrote upon "Patriotism of the Latin
Poets of the Augustan Age." Ruth
O'Brien, A. M., now a student in Chi
cago university, took for her thesis
Synthetic Indigo and Its Bi-products."
V. L. Strickland, A. M., superintend
ent of the Tecumseh schools, wrote
"A Statistical Study of Rural School
Inefficiency." Nell M. Ward, A. M.,
principal at Stuart, made a study of
"Chrysophanic Acid as an Indicator."
Clara O. Wilson, A. M kindergarten
teacher In Lincoln, wrote upon "Kin
dergarten." Anna Tibbets, A. M., prin
cipal of the Model school In Peru Nor
mal, Nebraska, studied "The Growth
of Conscience." Rose Yont, Ph. D.,
has made a thorough study of the
scientific principles underlying the
teaching of all musical instruction, as
a part of the educational system. The
subject was treated continuously In
both the master's and doctor's thesis,
the latter now In process of publica
tion. Two papers were presented at the
last meeting, the first being given
by Miss Edith Lathrop, A. B., an
associate member, and candidate for
the master's degree and graduate
teachers' certificate. She was for six
years county superintendent of Clay
county, rural school Inspector under
Mr. DelzelL late state superintendent,
and now assistant state superintend
ent and a student in the University.
NEBRASKA'S POSITION IN WEST
ERN FOOTBALL
The present season has duplicated
the record of the 1914 Cornhuskers
since the Hawkeyes were defeated
Saturday afternoon, and Nebraska is
claimant for the western champion
ship for the third time In the five
years Coach Stiehm has had command
of the Husker juggernaut.
Nebraska's standing in western foot
ball last year is ably set forth by
"Critic" In his review of football in the
middle west in the annual guide. He
writes:
"Outside the conference, there are
four teams which demand the atten
tion from lovers of football, and one
of them at least is on a par with the
winner of the conference. It is hard
ly fair for any of the leading teams to
claim the undisputed championship
without having some tangible evidence
to prove that claim other than com
parative scores. It is doubtful if any
team deserves more to be ranked with
Illinois than Nebraska, the undisputed
champions west of the MississippL
Coached by Stiehm, the old Wisconsin
center, they have been constantly In
the limelight since his arrival. Tbey
went through the entire season with
out meeting defeat The Cornhuskers
were a mighty strong aggregation both
on offense and defense. Heavy and
fast, they would have been a worthy
foe to any team they might meet
Their decisive defeat of the Michigan i
Aggies was one game in which they
showed their right to contend with
any team for the championship."
"Critic" then turned to Captain Ilal
ligan, naming him as the one largely
responsible for Husker success in sev
eral of the crucial games last 'fall.
Says "Critic":
"Captain Halllgan, playing left
tackle, was the main factor in nearly
all the games. He was strong on car
rying the ball from .his position and
could generally be depended upon for
good gains. As a place kicker he was
a star. In the Iowa game alone he
made three scores by the air route
and was succesful in numerous at
tempts in other games. His defensive
work was equally good. All this, com
bined with his Qualifications as a lead
er, made him a star of the first mag
nitude." Nebraska occupies a still more prom
inent position in western football this
year than last since the Hawkeyes
were vanquished by a large score,
for the muddle in the Big Nine has a
tendency to cause critics to look out
side the confernce for western title
claimants. Last year Illinois, combin
ing a wonderful offense and defense,
decisively fought their way to a Big
Nine championship, and, by virtue of
that, to first recognition In western
circles. But this year no western
team has flashed the offensive power
that has been shown by the Corn
huskers, and the Husker stonewall,
although slow in finding itself, is now
as dependable as famous stonewalls
of the past
