The Teachers' Association held in
Crawford last Friday and Saturday
proved to be one of the best and most
impoitant that has been recorded iu
the history of this association.
A large delegation of teachers, pupils
and patrons from this county were in
attendance, nearly all staying for the
entite session.
Supl. D. W. Hayes of Alliance was
president of the association and much
credit is due him for the excellent pro
gram that liad becn arranged and for
the general management of the meeting.
The principal educators taking part in
the program, aside from the best talent
within the district, were State Supt.
l. CBlshop. Ex-Supt. W. K. Fowler,
Prof. J. L. Mclirien, director of Uni
versity extension, Pros. J. O. Thomas
of Kearney State Normal, Fres. W. H.
demons of Fremont Normal, Chancel
lor Davidson of Wesleyan University
and Deputy State Supt. F. S. Perdue.
Representative Chase of Crawford gave
an interesting and instructive talk on
"flow the State Normal Dill was
Passed,"
On Saturday evening Newton Wes
ley Gaiiies gave his excellent lecture,
' Heart and Brain Power," to a very
' appreciative audience that filled the
I opera house until standing room was at
' o premium.
I The Declamatory contest on Friday
I evening was one of the best ever held
( in the northwest part of the state and
i was perhaps the most interesting and
largest, there being seventeen con
testants. The Allianco Bchool was represented
by Henry Krajecck, oratorical; Agatha
Gregg, dramatic; and Beulah Smith,
humorous. We were indeed proud of
these representatives aud especially

our city's importance as an educational
center by deciding upon Alliance as the
place for the annual state declamatory
contest, May 7th. There will be twelve
to fifteen contestants, four or five in each
of the three classes, oratorical, dramatic
and humorous, the declamatory cream, as
we might say, of the schools of Nebraska.
Besides the contestants, there will be quite
a number of the leading educators of the
state present, but the importance to Alli
ance of the event does not consist princi
pally in the number of visitors who attend.
but in the recognition that is at last given
to the city and this part of the state It
will without doubt help to inform the
people farther east that Alliance is on the
map of the great state of Nebraska, and
may henceforth be considered as one of its
important school towns. Certainly much
credit is due Frot. D. W, Hayes who lias
done more than any other person to secure
the recognition that has been due this part
of the state, but which has not until re
cently been properly given.
The sale of tickets for the contest, which
will be in the Phelan opera house, evening
of May 7th, is in charge of the high school
studepts. Up to yesterday morning more
than 300 had been sold and the indications
are that the demand for tickets will be
greater than the capacity of the opera
house. Those who wish to make sure of a
seat will need to secure it early.
Importance of Following Directions
i
The Herald takes the liberty of urg
ing the importance of following prompt
ly the directions given by Prof. Hunt,
as director of the agricultural experi
mentation that is being made in Box
Butte county. This work lias been
undertaken at a heavy expense to Mr.
Newberry, who finances the enterprise,
and also at n considerable sacrifice on
the part of Prof Hunt, which he gladly
makes because of his interest in north
western Nebraska and his belief that
this country is capable of great agri
cultural development. This expense
would not have been incurred or the
sacrifice made had it not been that quite
a number of farmers agreed to follow
minutely on a specified amount of land
the instructions given by the director.
Wo volunteer these suggestions be
cause we think we realize something of
the importance of following directions
promptly and definitely. For instance,
tests have been made that prove that
under certain conditions one hundred
tons of moisture will evaporate from an
acre of laud in 48 hours, one-third
enough to produce a crop. One of the
principal objects of experimentation is
to ascertain the best method of con
serving or saving this moisture. If it
is desired to try a certain experiment
and instructions are accordingly given
to dogcertain work at a certain time,
but the farmer puts off doing the work
48 hours, or even for one day, it is
easy to see that much of the benefit of
the experiment is lost.
Wo are sure the farmers, who have
gone into this work, will give Prof.
Hunt their prompt and hearty co-operation
if they realize the importance of
the matter, and we make these sug
gestions knowing that "a word to the
wise is sufficient."
