Teachers Rap
*S t e a 1 i n g of
Music Pupils
Proposed Amendment to Ex
pel Association Members Cou
victed of “Thievcr)’’ Killed
After Debate, However.
The habit, which it. is declared some
Nebraska music teachers have ac
quired. of stealing other teachers' pu
pils was frowned upon at the Wednes
day session of the Nebraska .Music
Teachers’ association at Hotel Fon
tenelle.
For a time during the session it
appeared that the music teachers were
about to adopt even more drastic
measures than frowning, to stop this
brand of thievery.
Albert G. Carlson of Fremont in
troduced an amendment to the by-laws
of the association which provided that
any member of the association con
-victed of stealing anothers' pupil im
mediately should be expelled from the
asaoclatjpn.
“A good doctor doesn't try to steal
patients front another doctor; nor
does a pastur who is worthy of his
calling go into another church to
get members for itis own congrega
tion.'' said Mr. Carlson.
"Practice Must atop.
•It is the same with music teachers.
1 am sorry tills hail to be brought up.
tout the unethical practice of steal
ing pupils must be stopped."
"But such an amendment, if passed,
~ v. ould stamp Us as a bunch of trick
^ stems," interposed August Jlolzer of
i.incoln. “It would indicate that we
couldn’t trust each other. But if this
practice is as bad as T have been told
J. too. am in favor of sonic drastic
action to stop it."
”1 have waited two or three years
for the matter to remedy itself, but it
has become worse instead of better,"
argued Mr. Carlson. "I can't see
v, here the amendment is casting any
aspersion on the association."
Favors Inquiry.
Jean P. Duffield of Omaha argued
that the conditions probably would
continue to prevail even with the
amendment in existence. He favored
the appointing of a committee to in
vestigate the illicit stealing of music
siudents.
“I believe the condition can be bet
ter remedied by cultivating a better
fellowship between ourselves," said
Karl E. Tunberg. president of the as
sociation. "I believe the pupil and
the parent enter into this matter;
and that stealing the pupil is not
exactly the right term to use. If
another teacher gets your pupil I be
lieve the proper way is to greet him
lhe next time you see him without
indicating that anything has hap
pened."
Amendment Killed.
"You never heard of a doctor telling
n patient another doctor is a very
poor physician,” observed anothei
member of the association.
"I believe the most effective method
«>f stamping out this stealing of pupils
is to expose the thief.” observed an
^•ittfer member.
But when the smoke of battle
• I eared away the amendment hud
been expunged from the association
records.
Miss Jane Pind< r of Grand Island,
was elected president of the associa
tion; Lura Schuler Smith of Lincoln,
vice president, aixl Miss Alice Mus
selman of Grand Island, secretary atxl
treasurer. The next convention will
be held in Grand I si ante.
The association endorsed the Ne
braska Society for the Development
of Musical Talent and urged the sup
port of Samuel Carmell, the boy violin
ist of Omaha.
