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

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. Over 35,000,000 booties sold.—

young man'and woman to the w hite
collared way. 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.

chemnistry and physics who weren’t

BAD BREATH
Dr. Edwards’ Olive 1 ablets Get

Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the feubstl

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

forward-looking?" he queried. "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."

ding celebration reside with a son,

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.

volver has been designed, so mounted
