(From n Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Dec. 23. (Special Telegram.) Carrie Nation paid tbo saloons of Lincoln a visit today. She was not armed with tho historic hatchet, but contented herself with a few onslaughts of a purely oratorical na ture, accompanied by gesticulations. In a saloon owned by tho Fremont Drewlng com pany, at Fifteenth and 0 streets, the Joint smasher addressed the assembled crowd thus: x "Men, got a business you can defend, You cannot ndvertlso this one. What do these casks and barrels contain? Drugs that poison the bodies of men and steal away their bouIs. You men who sell this broth of hell have consciences, feelings, princi ples I don't hate you. I lovo you, You are too good men for me to stand Idly by and sco you go to the devil without re monstrating." A customer entered, approached the bar nnd called for whisky. Ho drained his glass. Mrs, Nation watched him with flashing eyes and declared: "There Is another link forged In tho ruin of a human being." Mrs. Nation stood beforo tho bar, a look of unalterable firmness on her face, unut terable pathos In her voice and manner. "Ooodby, men. I thank you for listening to what I had to say and for treating me with so much reBpoct. If I nm ovor here again I will stop in and prny that Ood will help you nil." With a tlnal wave of her hand the speaker moved toward the door and from her nudlt- rs thero cumu several Invitations to "Come gain." About tho sarao proceeding was repeated In other saloons. So rrnnr'a t'lirlntninn Turkey. Governor Savage boasts of having the heaviest Christmas turkey on record. The nlmal was given to tho governor by C. I), Ooddard, a friend, of Sterling, Colo. It was fattened with alfalfa and when weighed today brought tho Indicator down to flfty ono pounds. Tho governor finds great sat isfaction In tho fact that the turkey weighs wenty-ono pounds moro than tbo one that 111 grace tho president's table on Christ mas day. For ItelteitrlnR IrrlKntlon (,'nc, A motion for a rehearing of tho case of tho Farmers' nnd Merchants' Irrlgotlon company of Lexington ngalnst tho Gothen burg Wnter Powor and Irrigation company was filed with tho Stato Hoard of Irrigation today. This action was begun by tho Farm- rs' and Merchants' people o, prevent tho other company from using wnter from the I'latto river for purposes other than those peclflcd In their water clnlm. Tho-Oothcn- burg company, In Its claim, asked for per mission to use n stipulated amount of wnter from tho I'lntte river above Gothen burg for Irrigating certain lands nnd for operating a power plant. Tho application was allowed nnd tho canal nnd plant wcro worked sovernl years according to their specifications. An extension to the original cnnal, however, has been built and tbo Gothenburg company wants to turn all water after being used In the power plant Into the extended canal Instead of back Into tho river, as under tho old arrangement, Tho Farmers' and Merchants company In sists tbnt the compnny should bo made to follow Its specifications nnd Insists that If the water Is taken pormnnontly away from the river tho supply will bo exhausted above he point where Its own canal taps tho river.' Tho Stato Board of Irrigation re cently decided In favor of tho Gothenburg company. Tho motion for a rehearing was referrod to tho attorney general and a meeting of tho hoard to consider It will bo called some tlmo this week.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE MODEL JECTIIN Problem of Elementary Coarse Ne cessity of Supervising Tenoning of ' Grnduntea w Athletic Field. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Dec. 23. (Special Telegram.) Dr. W. A. Cark, 'superintendent of tho State Normal College at Peru, tonight sub mitted his annual report to the State Board of Education. All members of the board wcro present and his report was accepted and approved. The report: It Is my purpose to embody In this re port a brief statement of tho present condition or thi school, both In lt.s ma terial equipment and tho activities of Its Inner life, with some suggestion nnd rec ommendations regarding ftitjre develop ment. Since my las. report to tho board the Kreotihomo Jias been completed nnd Is now filled with plants. This Important ad dition to tho equipment of tho school has been furnished without cost to the stnto except for n few feet of steam pipe The necessary funds, amounting to over $1(0, havo been secured through n lecture course nnd private subscriptions bv citizens and members of the faculty. There Is still u small balance to be provided through fu ture entertainments. The cold weather of tho past week has furnished u good lest ot the Ability to care for the plnnts In this greenbousc-without added cost to tho state Our steam plant Is closed down ut 10 o'clock nt night until 5 o'clock In tho morn ing n ml through tho coldest nights the tem perature In the greenhouse lias not fallen below 43 degrees. .tetr Athletic Field. A very Important addition to tho school tins been miulo In tho now nthlotlc field. Ue tween $e0 nnd $7i have been expended In the laying out and grueling of nn athletic Held on tho school grounds cast of tho campus. The State .Normal school now has one of the finest fields for athletic sports In the west, and this has been given to tho school without cost to tho state that Is, no part of tho stato funds havo been expended In the preparation of tho Held. The necessary funds and labor have been contributed by tho students, tho citi zens and tho members of the faculty. The very generous response which the citizens ot Peru have made, both In tho caso of the greenhouse nnd tho athletic Held, la evi dence of their public spirit nnd apprecia tion of tho school. In addition to cash sub scriptions generous donations of work of men and teams hnve been freely given by persons living In Peru and vicinity. Thero is still a debt against the field which Is being enred for by tho nthletfe board of tho school with the expectation of Its liquida tion through future receipts from enter tainments and gato receipts at tho Held. Ilimkrt Hall (Jrounds. Basket ball grounds havo been laid nut south of tho dormitory, und the young la dles of the school hnve taken part freely In tho gumes. These games, together with all sports upon the athletic field, aro under tho Immediate control of the athletic board, consisting of three members chosen from tho faculty nnd three from tho upper classes of the school. It Is believed that by close supervision safe nnd helpful athletics mav no 'fostered In tho Statu Normal school. Tho steam plant Is now In flrst-clrtss con dition, and It Is thought under tho etllclent management of the present engineer n con siderable saving will be mnde in tho expen diture for fuel. Still further Improvements nro contemplated In connection with the heating nnd lighting plants. Tho wnter supply was never so satisfac tory before In the history tit, tho school. Thero Is nn abundance of pure, sweet water for nit purposes', and tbo strong pressure from the stnndplpe makes adequate pro vision for the micccFsfiil lighting of lire.

Tho discussion following is general, and has served to develop In the faculty n moro professional nttltudo toward their work. The printed lists of subjects, which I have distributed to you, will show tho character of tho discus sions. Improvement In Model School, Probably in no other feature-of our school Is the Improvement moro marked than In tho model school. Tho general charac ter of tho school work Is much chunged for tho better. More genuine teaching Is done, both by regular members of the faculty nnd the apprentice teachers. Wo aro now beginning to realize the good results of the change made In tho ad ministration of this school more than n year ugo. It has become In n very Im portant sense a model public school in which young teachers may observe actual teaching work valued for Its own sake. The effect upon tho students In tho trnln tng class is very marked; but a still mora Important chango has como to those In tho Fenlor year of the full course. When we announced at tho beginning of tho last school year that tho members of tho senior class would bo required to teach throughout tho entire year, it spirit of rebellion was manifested by somu mem bers of tho class, and tnroughout the year thero was evident a lack of apprecia tion of this requirement. In tho begin ning of the present year, however, a new spirit seemed fo have como over the Htu ,1,'tilu nil worn nnvlntiA tn cet the rnll benctlt of this long training In nctual school prnctlce. Tho model school thus appears to bo taking Its true plac In the normal school. A model school Is tho co-ordinating center of the Instruction given In u normal school. All professional teaching centers In It and radiates from It. An Institution of lenrnlng cannot properly be culled a normal school unless It Is equipped with a well organized model school, nnd the moro Importance tho faculty attach to the function! of' tho model school tho moro worthy does the Institution become of the name "Normal school." ltcliiru to Summer School, After mature tlellberotlon upon tho prob lems, carefully considering all of tho ques tions Involved, tho faculty have decided to roturn again to tho summer school as nn ndequato means of normal school ex tension, While tho short professional Institute of Inst sj miner met tho needs of n very important class of teachers In this stato it ml was in a largo measure success- ful, nevertheless It was evident that the school was not providing tor the wants of the great majority of those who wish to attend school somewhere during their sum mer vacation. Wo are fully convinced that there Is a demand for a short-term sum mer school, providing Instructions In both the subject matter nnd methods of teach ing. Acting upon this conviction, the fac ulty have ngrced to announce for the com ing summer a six-weeks' summer school, beginning Mny 2i? nnd closing July 4. Pro visions will bo made for strong review classes In all of the common school branches. There will also be both begin ning and ndvanced classes In tho sub jects of secondary Instruction. Tho pro feslonal work will bo unusually full, com prising theoretical pedagogy, history of education und practical didactics. Methods nf Tenctiliitf, Special attention will be given to meth ods of teaching In tho primary and gram mar grades. Certainly the most Important Improvement In tne general plan and work of the summer school Is the continuing of the model school In session. Much ns wo value tho academic Instruction and the purely theoretical teaching of educational philosophy, we are fully persuaded tlmt all true normal teaching must cenur about tho model school. It Is tho Intention of tho faculty In tho coming summer school to glvo practical exemplification of tho best methods of teaching nnd managing public schools, nnd this of Itself should commend tho Stato Normal summer school to tho favorable consideration of county superin tendents nnil teachers everywhere. About two weeks ngo I wrote to nil tho county superintendents of the state. Including tho present Incumbents and thoso about to enter upon the work, asking for sugges tions lu regard to the summer school. Tho unanimous approval of tho model school feature Is very encouraging. It shown it true appreciation of tho real nature of normal school work In Ne braska. ehritshn State Teachers. Superintendent Fowler today Issued tho following statement relntlve to special fea tures on tho program for tho forthcoming meeting of tho Nebraska Stato Teachers' association: Tho Nntlonal Educatlonnl association will again como to tho central west next summer, when It will moot at Minneapolis, July 7-11. At Detroit lust s j miner a con certed movement on the part of tho lend ing school men of tho central west landed In tho president's thnlr W. M. Iieard shear. president of tho Agricultural col lego at Ames, la. Dr. Heartlshear Is a man of strong personality, toll, muscular, rugged In appearance, of tho frontier type. The peoplo of Lincoln have an excellent opportunity to hear this new president of tho National Educatlonnl association at tho Auditorium on Thursday evening of next week, when ho will address tho Ne braska Stato Teachers' association, In ad dition to Dr. Hcardshear, Dr. Arnold Tompkins, president of tho Chicago Nor- mul school nnd one of the ablest edu cators in tho United States; Chancellor It. II. Josso of tho University of Missouri and Dr. A. H. Taylor, president of tho Normal school nt Decatur, 111,, hnve been engaged to address the State Teachers' association on Wednesday and Friday evenings of next week. Tho citizens of Lincoln havo nn opportunity peculiar to this city nlono In the state, In that they may hear each winter tho greatest edu cators of tho country nt tho sessions of tho Stato Teachers' association. We take exception to tho statement that tho boy graduates of our public schools do not spell as well as the boys who left tho public schools of America thirty or forty years ago. Just recently tho Journal quoted a pnper III tho state that said that all schoolboys of thirty years ngo could spell Nicaragua and Guatemala correctly. That mny bo true. Hut what prollteth It If they have since forgotten how? Wo will guarantee that not one business man In ten In tho city of Lincoln can spelt both words correctly on tho spur of the moment. Tho art ot good spelling Is n peculiar ono und not many havo the fac ulty naturally In a remarkable degree, Wo ourselves have been amazed nt tho facility with which children during their second school year will spell correctly Thnnksglvlng, Chrlstmns, Washington's birthday nnd similar words, at tho tlmo their Interest In these terms Is greatest, and at tho comparative ease with which they spell words of threo and four sylla bles lu tlm lower grammar grades; ind we havo also marveled nt tho caso and success with which they forget their good spelling beforo they graduate from the High school. There aro only three classes that continue to spell correctly throughout llfo In our experience; nil others. Judging by our correspondence nnd other menus of iiHcortnlnlng, forgot much of their school Instruction In this respect. Tho three classes to which wo refer aro school teaciiers, stenographers and typesetters, Tho peoplo nf Lincoln will havo an ex cellent opportunity to hear the first class spell at the now I'nlvorslty chapel, Thurs day forenoon of next week at 11 o'clock, nnd wo believe tho successful contestants In that spelling nintch will bo willing to challenge tho stenographers and typeset ters of tho city.
