Cross Section of Teachers Is Given in Talks Lincoln Ltlitur and Legion Commander Give ^ iews of Patrons—National Educa tor Defens System. Superintendents and principals at tending a section meeting of the state teachers' convention yesterday after noon in Hotel Home were given a cross section of themselves. The speakers were J. C. Ed Fisher, state commander of the American Legion; .lames W. Lawrence, managing edi tor of the Lincoln Star, and Hr. Wil liam 15. Owen, president of the Na tional Education association. "Under the present system of edu cation. accuracy is becoming a lost rrt." said Mr. Lawrence. "One of the first principles of the newspaper man is to he accurate. "We haven't taught the American youth the nobility of labor. We are not teaching this in our public -schools today. Education 1ms con sciously or unconsciously led the EXPERT GIVES HIS Drug Clerk, Speaking From Own Experience, Says Tanlac Has No Supe rior—Troubles Gone. ' Not in years have 1 enjoyed such good lion 111> ns I do since taking Tan lac, and I am glad to give a straight fnoni-the-shoulder recommendation for this medicine." declared Marvin , • 'alien. 1-4UH X. Rockwell St.. Chi-I i-ago, a young drug clerk. "I suffered terribly from stomach trouble and got into a badly run down condition. Gas formed on my stomach, attacks of indigestion kept me in misery, and headaches and pains in my back helped to pull me down. Basket ball was my favorite pastime, but I got so weak and short of breath ! had to give it up. "But Tanlac has put my health on a llrm foundation, end there is no guesswork about It. I never have in digestion any more, can play a fast game of basket ball, and just feel in fine shape. I have handled many medicines over the eounter. but there’s none better than Tanlac at any price." Tanlac is for sale by all good drug gists.

You should advise the youths, who are not qualified for ad 'anced study, to enter the field of skilled mechanics. Vision Is Needed. "The humanizing element of the schools has disappeared. I don't be lieve it is all the fault of the super intendent or the teacher. The school has Iveen forced to assume more than its share in the paternalistic trend. There also is a tendency to displace the teacher, who is a teacher at heart, for those who merely qualify according to certain academic stand ards of training. The real teacher has a vision." ' Dr. Owen took cognizance of the Lincoln man's criticisms by asserting that public education is marching for ward and. to paraphrase a popular expression, "is getting better and bet ter In every way." "tVe are coming back to accuracy," said the president of the national organization. "We have adopted new tests of efficiency based on accuracy. | We don't have to guess any morel what a child in the fifth grade should know about arithmetic. The Ameri can people are just beginning to know how to conduct their schools in a new way. Meanings 're Told. "Children are being tofd the mean ing before being required to learn It automatically. We are making chil dren practical as well as intelligent. We are now putting into practice what 60 years of experience has told us about how the Human rmnci acts. We are ready to meet the challenge I that the child is merely stuffed with! a lot of book learning. Our schools recognize that in this country the child should *be given an opportunity to develop according to its natural endowment. The new technique of teaching helps the child to think, that its personal growth may he en couraged. We have social stimula tions in the schoolroom." Mr. Fisher stressed the need of en couraging the boys and girls to look upon manual labor as an honorable ; estate and to discourage those who consider labor beneath their digni- | ty. He said there is need for more skilled mechanics. Reference was made by one of the | speakers to the fact that the new- | comer to the I'nited States Is not i above working In the mines, the large industrial plants and in other lines of work, which do not appeal to many 1 native Americans. Science Teachers Praised. Julius Gilbert, principal of the Be- j 8trice High school, declared while | speaking before the physical science section* of the association in the Cham ber of Commerce yestrday afternoon, j that physical science departments of Nebraska High schools exemplify the best in teaching.” Principal Gilbert further compli mented the science teachers by assert ing that in almost every case they are the most "forward-looking" In structors in the schools of the state. “Did you ever know teachers in chemnistry and physics who weren’t Closing Out Sale Matlreue* Bed.

BAD BREATH Dr. Edwards’ Olive 1 ablets Get at the Cause and Remove It Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the feubstl tute for calomel, act gently on the bowels and positively do the work. Teople afflicted with bad breath find quick relief through Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated tab lets are taken for bad breath by all who know them. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act gently but firmly on the bowels and liver, stim ulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the en tire system. They do that which dan gerous calomel doea without any of the bad after effect*. All the benefits of nasty, sickening, griping cathartics are derived from Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets without griping, pain or any disagreeable effects. Dr. F. M. Edwards discovered the for mula after seventeen years of practice among patients afflicted with bowel and liver complaint, with the attendant bad breath. Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable compound mixed with olive oil; you will know them by their olive color. Take one or two every night for a week and note the effect. 15c and SOc.

"No, for if lhey weren’t they couldn't hold their positions. Moreover these teach ers are usually working with advanced pupils, who furnish a knener check on the teacher.” Urges Square Deal. Principal Gilbert asserted some high schools are lamentably equip ped for the teaching of technical sci ence, and advanced the belief that the sinailer high schools might better fore go the teaching of chemistry because of the high cost per pupuil. He de clared general science hasn't had a square deal in most high schools, and urged that it he taiffeht because it is of advantage to a larger group of pu pils than the more advanced scien tific subjects. Prof. A. A. Reed of the University of Nebraska declared there has been a great gain in the methods of teach ing technical sciences throughout the state and had printed data, showing the trend toward the various branches of hpysioal science in high schools of the state. On Public Speaking. Less than 25 were present at the public speaking section meeting ip the Paint room of the Hotel Fonte nello yesterday afteronoon. Wtnone McFall, president of the section, pre sided. Miss Sarah Muir of the Lincoln High school faculty, read a paper, telling of methods of teaching public speaking. Charles W. Taylor, principal of the Teachers' College high school, declared that public speaking should be taught to all who can be lncduced to take it in the schools, hut should not be made compulsory. "The rising tide of radicalism is cue reason why I advocate this," he said: “Your radical is generally won derfully gifted with the 'gift of gab’ and he gets his ideas across, wild though they may be. “We should raise up a generation of more conservative thinkers with as good a command of English and ora tory as these men. "I would also like to see more men turned out by our high schools and colleges for the overall jobs, and fewer for the white-collar jobs. Plasterers in St. Lotus are getting $84 a week. Verne E. Chatelain of the Central High school spoke of public speaking as a useful art, and R. H. Yankie of Grand Island discussed high school dramatics. Couple Wed 50 Years to Have Family Reunion Married 50 years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Reinhardt will be the center of a family reunion next Saturday. They have nine children. The couple were married in Chicago and have resided in Omaha for 26 years. Mr. Bernhardt was with the Cudahy Packing company for many years before he retired. “What is the dangerous age?" re peated Mrs. Bernhardt, to a ques tion. “There isn’t any if you are suited to your husband or wife, as the case may be. Your feelings and de sires must he the same. It takes time to discover the likes and dis likes of another .and it can't be done in two or three weeks." The principals in the golden wed ding celebration reside with a son, Louis Bernhardt, 4420 Mayberry ave nue. Business Men Are Urged to Help in Legion Drive Aims for Former Service Men ami Benefits of Work Are Told at Chamber of Commerce Luncheon. The Douglas county post of the American Legion appealed to the business men of Omaha, at a Cham ber of Commerce public affairs lunch eon yesterday, for support in the drive for 5,000 members, which the legion plans to start January 31. 11ird Stryker, post commander, pre sided at the luncheon, lie called at tention to the high ideals of the le gion, and explained that the Douglas county post hoped to double its mem bership, now approximately 3,500, as a result of the drive. He introduced Allan Tukey, the first commander of the post. • Legion Aims Outlined. Mr. Tukey outlined the aims of the legion as follows: Care for the dis abled. the upholding of law, educa tion and adequate military prepared ness. "Liberty can only be had through the upholding of the lu\ " said Tukey. Touching on education, he continued, “Do you know that one out of every five men called to the colors during the past war was illiter ate? The legion now is conducting an educational census which will make possible the first national edu cational campaign ever launched. We want an American education, with a flag on every school as a symbol. And we favor a common language—the English language, which is the audible symbol of the unity of our nation. Those of the legion don't want any more war, but they do want adequate military forces." Tukey added that legion clubhouses are becoming community centers throughout the United States; a guard against the evil forces which seek to destroy the country. Furnish 3,000 .Jobs. Harry C. Hough, post adjutant, told of getting 3,000 jobs for ex-service men, and of how the post has pro vided rent, clothes, groceries and sometimes medical attention for hun dreds of families. "Omaha is a better place to live in because of our activities," said Hough. "We are of direct financial benefit. We have cared for some men who were in the desperate frame of mind, which results in holdups.” Anan Raymond, representing the legion, made a similar appeal for co operation to members of the Omaha Automobile club, who also were lunching at the chamber. In closing the meeting, Commander Stryker de clared the post would never become a financial burden, that it wasn't so liciting funds, but that it did need the co-operation of the city in its membership drive.
