' o HAPPINESS REQUISITE IN EDUCATION Miss Tall of Baltimore Gives State Pedagogues Some Epi grams for Betterment of Sphool System. CITIZENSHIP TO FORE. "We will teach corn, and hogs yes, but not teach the boys and girls to raise more hogs and more corn, but teach these things which will enable them to grow up to be better men and women and more useful citizens." Thes peaker said the business of the teacher is to find the good in pupils instead of seeking the bad to punish. "Give me the teacher who is thinking in terms of the boys and girls and L'll 6how you a great teacher. The teacher who pours out her heart and soul in the work of instructing and guiding the young, cannot be paid too much; the teacher who does not do this, and who takes the attitude of 'Thank heaven, only two weeks more of school' you cannot afford to have her at any price." , PREACHES CONSERVATION. Professor Holden exhibited on the table on the stage, everything from a rope to a-sausage grinder; and from an apple bag to a loaf of bread. , He exhibited the bread to show the good bread which can be made by the use of a large percentage of potato starch. He exhibited the sausage grinder to illustrate how the starch can be extracted from small potatoes which do not sell well on the market "People talk a lot about conserva tion," he said, "but they always want the other fellow to do the conserving. Jjo they won't buy small potatoes, The grocer gave me these this morning, lrralise-fli fine would"' buy them. folks, listen',' there are 100,000,000 bushels of small potatoes in the United States today, aftd they can be made to take the place of 1,000.000 . bushels of wheat; and our boys and girls in school can accomplish it by learning how to extract this starch and use it in flour." He advocated that teachers be paid more in the rural schools, so'that the ' teachers may become a part of the community, and. advocated that a home for the teacher be built beside the school" house like a parsonage be side a church. Explains Federal Bill. State Superintendent W. H. Clem mons outlined the. provisions of the Smith-Hughes bill whereby the fed eral government will furnish a sum of money for educational purposes which in Nebraska will be $8,950 the first year, providing the state will ap propriate dollar for dollar to meet the federal appropriation for the develop ment and advancement of the tranches of trades, industrial work, lome economics and agriculture.

' h. A. WELSH. Meteorologist ''You can't teach efficiently unless you have common sense" Lida Lee Tall of Baltimore, speaking at Fri day morning's general assembly of the state teachers. Miss Tall gave a thoughtful consid eration of efficient supervision, con sidering the superintendent's point of view and the teacher's point of view. She referred in plain language to a lack of co-ordination which exist in many instances between the grade teachers and the supervisor. She urged the teacher to look, upon super wsicms a helpful agency rather than mere inspection. - Emphasizing the importance of the grade teacher, she sajd: ''Wflat the schools turn out is, after all, the product of the grade teacher. Re member that we have a part in shap ing, the thought of the future. We must socialize our ideas if the world is to receive the benefit of our ideas. Praise Is' Needed. A few of Miss Tail's epigrammatic statements' are given: "Johnny will practice self-control on promise of a piece of chocolate; a good teacher will be more efficient if told she has done a good piece of work. "Patriotic education, is to the fore this year and back of it all should be efficient supervision. "A look of happiness on a teacher's face is a real factor in education. "The function of the supervisor is to improve the teaching act. Good teaching" takes into consideration what is going on inside of the child-mind; good supervision .takes into considera tion teacher and child. Teacher Underpaid. "A community bas a queer sort of sympathy, for the teacher pities us, as it were. They do not pity the law yer nor the preacher. They say the teacher is underpaid, and she is. If wc can make the public respect us, and stop pitying us, we have made a case for education. 1 "If we are to have efficient super vision, teachers must realize that su pervision is their right, rather than a burden imposed upon them; must realize that supervision is a helping process, rather than a.mere inspection. "The best we can give is none too good for our school children." Miss Tall urged the teachers to dis card a feeling of fear which frequently overwhelms them when their work may be compared with the work of other teachers. "Remember," she said, "the children in a factory district will do just as well, according, to them selves, as chydren of other districts." Another Ball Josser to Don the Naval Uniform Boston, Nov. 9.

PLOT TO PREVENT YOUNG MEN FROM JOINING THE NAVY Ensign Condict Says Effort is Made to Keep Down Enlistments of Sailors. Omaha Bee In List of Greatest Newspapers Newport, R. I., Nov. 10. Five thousand apprentice seamen and landsmen at . the Naval Training Station this week took a straw vote as to the best newspaper published in their respective States. The pa pers selected were: ' "There is an organized, scheme on foot about here to prevent enlistments in the navy," said Ensign Condict at the navy office Friday. "We are discovering it every day. There is a propaganda being put forth to keep young men from join ing the navy. All kinds of untrue and ridiculous statements are being cir culated about the navy, the object being to induce young men to stay out. "The most common one of these is the statement that the naw is full and - needs "noBTert 'ineny" mV"Tffr' false. The navy is calling for 20,000 men this minute.: It has the new bat tleships, all ready and all it needs is men to handle the big guns and run the ships. Put in Trenches. "Boys come in here and tell us the strangest stories they have heard One boy was told the other day that if he joined the navy, as he wanted to do, he. wotrld be taken out of it and put at once in the trenches in trance, There is no rivalry between the army and navy., it is the Army and Navy for ever and we do all we can to help each other. But 'men are not trans ferred from one branch to the other. If a boy prefers the army and joins it, he will stay there and it is the same with the navy. Soldiers and sailors are not shifted around regardless of their choice. Try to Influence Boy. "One boy came to Omaha the other day from a substation, on government transportation. As soon as he got into Omaha someone, who had per haps trailed him, got hold of him and put up arguments against his joining the navy. - , "For two days the boy hesitated till we got anxious and went in searali of him. He had been persuaded the navy was full and was going back Rome. "It is hard to run down these ru mors, they come third or fourth hand to us. But certain peoplCare work ing actively against the navy. Ger many knows that men are needed in the navy to convoy the troopsvacross. Therefore efforts are being made to stop enlistments." .

Captain Per sius, naval expert of the Berliner Tageblatt, -notes growing impatience among Germans with , the results of the submarine campaign, registered in a swelling flood of letters demanding an answer to the question,' "When shall we have England, bcatcnl" He throws cold water on the optimists and warns them against accepting as reliable figures on destroyed tonnage, including those apparently German, and other statistical material. Captain Persius says that with the 1917 harvest and the imports of grain the food problem can scarcely become a motive, for the next six months at least, to make Great Britain inclined to conclude peace. Teachers Late; Must Stay After School; They Sing "Aunt Dinah" S. Toledo Sherry, government in spector of Indian schools, arose in his seat during the general meeting of the state teachers Friday morning to inquire what is the constitution of the Nebraska State Teachers' association between friends. . ' Miss Lida Lee Tall of Baltimore was addressing the teachers when Mr. Sherry obtained the privilege of the floor to ask that the rules be sus pended and tS00 belated teachers be admitted to the Auditorium. A rule of the association prohibits admittance during a number of the program. This morning's meeting had been announced in various ways to begin, at 9:30, but it was not called un til 9:35 and 500 arrived after that time, to remain outside until' Mr. Sherry's persistence at the door over came the guard. Once inside, the In dian school inspector hastened to a vantage point in the balcony and straightway affected an entrance for the 500 teachers who were late. President Martha Powell of the as sociation, declared that all who were late should remain after school fifteen minutes. Mae H. Schreiber of Boston, one of the principal speakers before the as sociation, was curious to know what the teachers who were late would say if 500 of their pupils were tardy at school. Mr. Sherry was so happy in having gained his point that he joined in singmg the chorus of "Aunt Dinah's Quilting Party" , the community singing led by Thomas J; Kelly. 4 . OMAHA'S MORALS O. K. AVERS ARM Y INVESTIGATOR War Department Social Evil Sleuth Finds Gate City So Clean He Will Tarry Only One Day. Henry F. Burt of the War depart ment commission on training camp activities arrived in Omaha Friday morning to open his campaign to min imize social evils which tempt Uncle Sam's soldiers in the encampments near Omaha. J "I .have had an investigator in Omaha this week. lie is one of the best in his line of work in the coun try and I can say that Omaha is one of the cleanest citiesi from a moral standpoint, that we have visited. We have found none better. This inves tigator when I arrived told me he found no street walkers nor open houses of prostitution. He heard there were a few places known as as signation houses which have been re ported to the chief of police," stated Mr. Burt. The government man said he found it necessary to remain a week in Kan sas City, but will be here only today. He described conditions in Kansas City as "very loose." Praise ror Omaha, r , He was sincere in giving Omaha a fine credit mark for moral cleanliness.

This government man conferred with Mayor Dahlman and Chief of Police Dunn and was assured hearty co-operation in attaining the end he is after. "Secretary Baker has high ideals in matters of oersonal nuritv.. We are striving to furnish the soldiers in the encampments with interesting and healthy activities and to protect them front evils' which experience has showp reduces the efficiency of the army, Mr. Burt added. Prive Against Disease. He stated that the War department is making a determined drive against certain infectious diseases which were manifested to an alarming extent dur ing the time the soldiers were at the Mexican border. "Worse than that," Mr. Burt re plied. Ihe commission on training camp activities, created by the secretary of war, in an official bulletin announced the following law enforcement measures: First Elimination of commercial ized prostitution in the cantonment zones. i Second Repression of clandestine prostitution. Third Control of alcohol and other aids of prostitution. Fourth Combating of gambling, use of drugs and other harmful prac tice- - r AMsV-w '. STABLE MARKET FOR PROTECTION OFTHEPRODUCER Secretary Stryker of Live Stock Exchange Confident Minimum Price on Hogs Will Bring Returns. "A careful review of the statement made by Herbert Hoover, food com missioner, and J. P. Cotton, chief of the meat division of the food admin istration, shows 'that it is the inten tion of the department to do all in its power to stabilize market conditions and to protect the producer," says A. F. Stryker, secretary and traffic man ager of the South Omaha Live Stock exchange. "Thev will soon have the ourchas- ing power of all orders from. the army, the navy tho alliesj the Belgian re lief, tho Red Cross, and the neutral countries. This power, together with the rigid control they expect to exer cise over the packing industries, places ihm in a position where they feel confident they can keep the mini mum price on the average drove of packers' hogs at Chicago at about $15.50 or better. This refers to this year's crop of hogs which will nat urally be marketed in the near future, while the hogs that will be farrowed next spring and marketed next year they will endeavor to see are bought on a basis of" the cost of 13 bushels of corn to 100 pounds of live hogs," added Mr. Stryker. "The price of corn used in the feed ing is to be arrived at by taking the average cost of corn for each month from the time the sows are bred until the pigs are marketed, taking into consideration the approximate amount of corn consumed by every hog for each month during the 12 months. This puts the minimum price on hogs for many months to come on a basis that ought to insure the producer a substantial profit regardless of the price of corn during the coming year- ... . . . Mr. Hoover has announced that he has.no intention of fixing, directly or indirectly; the price of cattle or sheep. Therefore, we believe that every stockman is fully justified in enlarging his feeding and breeding operations so far as his surroundings j will permit. , BULLETINS. Amsterdam, Nov. 9.

I believe that English is the most valuable study of the curriculum," said the Omaha superintendent. He re ferred to citizenship as "The sum of the worth-while qualities which xo to make up the individual." He ex plained his reference to English as a study included spelling, reading and study of literature. Dr. Brigham urged that the style makes the man and to gain a style that is worth while one should read, study and travel. Miss Schreiber contended' that bad English in the class room is due more to habit than any other cause.
