Teachers Take Over City
Marines to Defend Selves with Guns
N ATI VERITY AFIRE
Worker on iw. winter
"U;ig" have a lot of peculiar
habits. Ono o those is the col
lection of hcmllinos with
strange ami disconcert ini? turns
of meaning. And s wlion the
above streamers appeared
simultaneously in a Lincoln
paper at the time of the State
Teachers convention last fall,
they were immediately clapped
upon an already covered wall
of the office aloni? with con
tributions pasted there by gen
erations of other "Kag" work
ers. There they form one of
tbe prize numbers of tlie lot.
We thought of these
streamers when some 2,000
summer students, largely in
Teachers college, poured into
the city for registration a
short time ago. We thought
of them again when we
learned that the three day
educational conference this
week was bringing foremost
educators from all over the
country to swell the ranks
of the summer faculty and to
reinforce the summer cur
ricula with a battery of new
techniques. And the whole
thing began to have a differ
ent significance. We thought
then, not of the incongmous
grouping of phrases, not of
the farcial "marines told to
defend selves with guns,"
but of the truth of the "na
tive city's" being afire with
an education - consciousness
unequaled at any other time
of the year.
Teachers who come here to
(lie summer "training camp
return to the field with plans
of action developed by the
greatest specialists of the day.
Technicians and educational
specialists often not available
at any other time may be
brought here in the summer,
and they bring with them
handbooks of procedure that
will make the next nine
months' maneuvers a lot dif
ferent and a lot more effective.
When experts such as
