RURAL SCHOOLS DIS-
CUSSED AT MEETING
. (Continued from page 1)
farm nowadays represents such' a
large sum of money that few young
men have the courage to struggle
for the ultimate possession of a farm.
To remain as tenants all their life is
unattractive.
Among the other reasons advanced
were that the farm does not offer
the same advantages for an education
as does me cuy, iiiai. n uum uui ,
offer adequate social diversion, and I
;hat the rarm does not have modern j
conveniences. These last three rea-j
ons were especially advanced as the j
reasons why men who have lived on
the farm take their families in later
life to the city. --'
hev. H. N. 'Morse, speiking of the
laier stages of normal religious de
velopment, said that at the age of
16, or before, the young person with
the proper training should logically
be expected to join the church. This
step should be taken naturally. If
this has to come as an entire change
of life, then the previous training in
the home and community has been a !
failure. Conversion ought to be ai
step within the Christian life rather
than a step into a Christian life.
Speaking of revivals. Rev. Morse
said that the working up of emotional-1
ism at the improper time will be un-1
natural and is likely to be harmful.
Speaking of the condition of the
rural schools, with which the child.
during adolescence is very much con
cerned, he said that every health sur-
vey 6hows a greater number of de- j
fectives in the country school than '
in the city. In the country, much
less attention is given to proper veil-
tilation, lighting and heating than in j
the city.
ReT. Morse undertook a technical
discussion of the kind of instruction
that should be given the adolescent!
child in school and church. The pub-
lie school instruction during the per-
iod of adolescence should be such
that the child may be able to live at
home. Much stress was laid on the j
ability to live at home during this .
period.
Miss Huldah Peterson, in charge of ;
boys' and girls' club work of the Col
lege of Agriculture and the United
States -Department of Agriculture, .
presented the details of the different j
projects undertaken in this work and
how it may be correlated with the j
other program of country life better-

DEPARTMENT OF AMERICAN
, HISTORY IN THE U. OF N.
(Continued from page 1)
Miss Eads, Miss Lyman
and Miss
Dean.
The department has been exceed
ingly fortunate in the worth of those
who have taken these higher degrees,
as there is not one who has not made
a success of life; while many of
them are now noted men and women
in their fields of work. Eleven, or
one-fourth of the number, are now
professors in' state universities and
state normal schools, while seventeen
are either superintendents, principals
or teachers of high schools. Of the
remaining members ,one is a promi
nent banker, four are lawyers, one
has been a congressman for six years,
one is an expert in vocational work
in the Seattle public schools, one the
the head of the Nebraska Legislative
Reference bureau, one at the bead of
a bureau in the Department of Com
merce, one a newspaper manager, and
one a housekeeper, the only member
of those who have taken a master's
degree who has changed her name;
thus leaving two in business, two
holding fellowships in colleges, and
two of the class of 1904 who have
passed away.
Judge Charles S. Lobinger. now
United States judge in China, was the
only one to receive the doctor's de
gree in the department. He is a noted
scholar, judge and writer. Frank S.
Philbrick, now professor in the law
department of the University of Cali
fornia, is also noted as a scholar,
writer and historian. He is perhaps
the best informed man in America
on Cuban history, and is recognized
as an authority on many phases of ;
American history. Charles S. Allen,
for many years attorney of the Lin
coln Street Car company now living
in San Jose, Cal., is also a student
and author, and was doubtless the
most scholarly lawyer of Lincoln.
Prof. C. E. Persinger is a scholar, a
writer and a coming author of im
portant historical works. Miss Mary
A Tremain's "History of Slavery In
the District of Columbia. aid Mr.
J. A. Barrett's "The Ordinance of
1787," are recognized as important
contributions in these fields. There
are few men, if any, in the work in
Legislative Reference bureaus who
are doing more or gaining a higher
reputation than A. E. Sheldon.. He
also is the author of several works
relating to Nebraska and Indian his
tory. Mr. Paul F. Clark was an im
portant altorney In Lincoln and a
progressive candidate for congress
against Mr. J. A. Maguire, but failed
to win. Mr. Clark took his master's
degree in 1S97, and Mr. Maguire re
ceived his in 1899..Mr. A. S. Harding,
professor of history in the state col
lege of South Dakota, ranks Very
