ABOUT THE DELPHIANS.
A Nw Secret Order Recently
Orsanized for Pedagogue.
WHY THE SOCIETY IS SO CALLED.
Lincoln the Heat of the Mnprene
Lodge of the United Htateeof the
-Order of Ielphlan."
A Matter of Interest to School
Teachers.
Lincoln Journal:- la our country as
well a in other, the underlying ideas
which hare bound together the men of
all. ages into secret guilds, orders or
societies hare operated to the establish
ment of many sister orders, until now
nearly erery profession, nearly every
trade or business has its secret organiza
tions for mutual protection and profit.
One of the last of these to be establish
ed, and yet one destined soen to become
one of the most popular, is the "Order of
Delphians," a secret organization es
pecially for those engaged in the pro
fession of -teaching, a profession whose
irembers have long felt the need of just
such ad rant ages as this order presents.
No order of the scope which this one
takes in can be matured in a day. The
ritualistic work can be prepared by any
one versed in the secret work of the
various existing orders in a few hours,
but to plan the organization itself, to
determine what objects can be success
fully embraced, what methods to pursue
to make the prime object a success and
the thousand and one other details- of
the organization, can only be done by
study and careful observation. For fif
teen years Las this order been growing
and maturing in the mind of one of the
most successful educators, as well as one
of the most learned men in the country,
and it was only until some time in Feb
ruary that he felt free to give his com
panions in bis chosen lifeork the result
of his long years of labor. The Supreme
lodge of the Order of Delphians in the
United States was incorporated at that
time and since then the order has grown
rapidly in -public favor.
The name selected for the order is
significant of its object. Delphian, a
name signifying mystery and knowledge
and one specially appropriate in its new
application.
Delphi, the most famous city of ancient
Greece, the home of teachers, and the
men learned in all the knowledge of the
ancint world, and more especially noted
as the home of the oracle of Apollo, the
most popular oracle of the world. From
this city was the name of 'the order
appropriately taken, and its associations
and history has furnished many ideas of
utility and beauty ij the preparation of
the ritual and in the objects for which
the Delphian order was created.
The Supreme Lodge of the United
States of this order has been located in
Lincoln, the founders of the order judg
ing this city to be the educational centre I
of the trreat west and likely to take a
pre-eminent place among the grei.t edu
cational centres of the entire country
The first work of the order was started J
here and whatever reputation it will win
in the future will be shared by us.
The grand object of this association is
to promote the educational interests of
our common country by the following
mean?, which outline very fully the
work expected to be accomplished:
First Ity organizing teachers into a
band of mutual laborers.
Second To provide an organization
for the advancement of the social rela

tions and mutual interests of the teachers.
Third To provide libraries for the
educational advancement of teachers.
Fourth To provide an organization
through which teachers may work har
moniously,' thereby eleyatiug the work
of the teacher to the standard of a grand
profession.
Fifth Having the means thus pro
vided by a thorough organization, the
most desirable results may be achieved;
the elements that contribute to the suc
cess of teachers and pupils can bo more
fully grasped and applied, and the
'pedagogic profession" reach that high
plane of usefulness the grandeur of its
mission demands.
Sixth To use the means given through
such thorough organization in finding
the place to fit the man and the man to
fit the place, thus helping in the material
prosperity of the members of the profes
sion. The last article is probably the most
important for the m mbers of the organ-'
ization. It is intended, correctly speak
ing, to utilize the order as a grand intel
ligence bureau, which, with its ramifica
tions, its subordinate lodges, will do the
werk intended more thoroughly and
effectively than the so-called "teachers
bureau," and at the same time without
cost to the members. The plan, briefly
stated, is this: Members of the order
who wish situations have the privilege
of asking the services of the order in
securing them places. I his request is
immediately sent to the Supreme Lodge,
which for this purpose is the central
bureau, and the effort is made from that
source, all information regarding vacan
cies to be filled being sent to the supreme
lodge. It is also intended that school
district directors and boards of educa
tion shall have the opportunity of filing
their wants with the various lodges to
be transmitted to the supreme lodge,
when the vacancies can be supplied from
the members of the order. This, it will
be readily seen, is a valuable feature of
the plan, and with lodges scattered all
over the country cannot but proye bene
cial to all Delphians.
This organization is one that has long
been needed, and merits great success.
Its prime object is most worthy, and the
means taken to reach the end sought are
such as to command the attention of the
profession. For many years teachers
have bewailed the fact that teaching was
not looked upon as a profession, and to
tell the truth they themselves have been
greatly to blame. There is no other pro
fession weighed with such responsi
bilities. No other class of people, ex
cept the mothers of the land, stand in
such a responsible position to the future
glory and grandeur of this country as do
its teachers, the instructors of its coming
generations. Lawyers have to do with
the monied interests of their clients; but
money once lost can be regained. Physi
cians deal with the physical welfare of
their patients, but when one dies another
crowds in to fill the vacant place.
Tea. hers have to do with the mental,
moral and physical training of those up
on whose mental and physical vigor, and
moral worth the future of the country
entirely depends. The- teachers of the
land bold in their own hands its future.
They are the ones responsible for the
continuance or downfall of the republic,
and yet there is no profession, no trade
whose members receive less compensa
tion for their work performed. Hence
it is that any association which has for
its object the elevation of teaching to a
recosnized profession, which aims to
elevate the standard of excellence and
thereby the compensation and which
bands the teachers of the country into an
organization for their own material ad
vancement is deserving of commenda
tion and encouragement. Too much
cannot be said of the importance of the
work. The interests involved are tre
mendous and hardly yet recognized by
the great body of the people.
The Delphian order has certainly a
furure ef splendid possibilities. The
idea has been heartly endorsed by hun
dreds of the leading educators of the
country, both east and west, who have
signified their desire to assist in the work
of organization. In the New England

states, and from there westward to the
Pacific, the young order lias received
words of warmefct commendation and
encouragement. Although the order has
been before the public so short a tune,
the office of supremo secretary, Mr. W.
S. Bloom, in the Latta Block, is flooded
with letters of inquiry from almost every
state in the union, showing that the
teachers of the country feel the need of
such an association and are anxious to
forward the work of organization. Lin
coln has a subordinate lodge of twenty
eight charter members, and the teachers
of the whole state are taking hold of the
matter in great earnest. -

Base ball, May 30.

The Hastings Republican is so honest
it is liable to injure the reputation of the
rest of the hews papers there. It says:
"The Hastings gas well is the biggest
bore in the state."
A cow was grazing on the street this
morning. An ear of corn and a small rope
brought her into captivity and some
pater familia will pay 50 cents for the
privilege of milking her tonight.
The Joker noticed two small boys
one in dresses and the other with his
first pair of pants fighting for the pos
session of a forlorn looking little kitten,
they both got scratched and then they
quit fi'tin'.
Some say Plattsmouth is booming.
others say she is going to boom. Ttie

them after seeing so many cars of lum

this city this spring.
To get left is a very undesirable oc-
curance, but to get left when you are
trying to leave somebody else is surely

af about $ 80 in town yesterday.
Two buttermilk jokes have come to
the notice of The Jokek this week. In
the first a son divided a can of butter
milk and watered one quantity for the
hogs and then the father sold the watered
quantity to his customers. In the second
occurance a young lady vho was waiting
on the dinner table had a call for cream
for the strawberry short cake, of several
gentleman boarders. Without noticing
she replenished the pitcher with butter
milk. The first young man to tackle his
desert with buttermilk salid ate in silence.
He knew something was wrong but it was
so long since left the farm he couldn't
tell what, and the strawberries were too
rare and tempting to be let go for a little
matter of taste. The young lady dis
covered the mistake about the time the
young man's last strawberry was fulfill
ing its mission, and before any other's
had tried the milk, and the joke was Jail
on one fellow who will have to take the
title of "Buttermilk."
