Mr. presidentteachers nnd fel
low citizens : For the last few
days , I having been trying tp
sob'e , this problem , "Why has
your county superintendent in-
llictcd me on you tor a twenty
minutes talk ? " Perhaps when I'
am through you maybe able to
do so. In my rambling thoughts
I have found this , "The teacher
occupies the same relation to
the other professions that the
sun does to the planetary sys
tem. " The sun can dispense
with any of them but is still
necessary to the existence of
all the others. Without the sun
not any of the others could ex
ist. Without the common school
teacher there would be no other
profession. There would be no
use for any other. With any
one of the others the teacher
would still be necessary to the
existence of the rest. There
are two things for which I have
earnestly prayed. Do not think
they are great wealth and learn
ing.
ing.With
With all the benefits of the
one and pleasure of the other
there are things I consider far
more desirable. The iirst is
that I may never grow old. I do
not mean I would not add year
by year to my age or avoid the
time w h e n the grasshopper
becomes a burden. What I mean
is that I may never reach the
time when I will think that
some time in the past the
world ceased to move and that
every thing modern is a failure.
The world is constantly mov
ing forward and in no depart
ment is there greater improve
ment than in the common
schools. In looking over speci
mens of your work this morning
I was forcibly reminded of the
time when the unpardonable sin
in the pupil was drawing a pic
ture on a slate or piece of paper
I am proud to say that of all
the nations mine has the most
perfect and best common school
system and this state stands in
the lead of all the states of the
union. With due respect for
the attendence from other coun
ties I will be pardoned for think
ing we had them all yet with all
our splendid success in the past
there are fields for great im
provements in the future. The
ether great desire ot my life is
that I may never forget that I
was once a boy.
A naughty roginVh boy , not
that 1 am particularly glad to
know that I had these traits be
cause of themselves but because
they are the characteristics of
the natural boy and I am glad I
i was neither a prodigy or a freak.
To remember them makes me
more lenient to the modern boy
I often hear men who were boys
when I was , lamenting the de
generacy of their boys , \\hen I
know their boys nre no worse
than the father. Right here I
would urge every teacher ,
if you can , try to place your
self in the place of the pupil and
do by him or la-r as you would
have a teacher do by you in like
circumstances. Here I will
have to indulge in a remein-
1 berance.
Forty.six years ago this fall
when I was much older ant
knew a great deal more than I
j do now I was attending an in
, stitute like tinin Garnavillo
t
: Iowa. Three professors and sev
, eral of the older teachers al
lf told of having severely whipped
some bad boy or girl and made
r them verygood and obedient
A lady teacher arose and re
marked that as the professor
and teacher had been heard fron
it might be well to hear fron
a the boy and mentioned mysel
n as the bn\.i arose and remarlw
Sj that L nvis surprised and no
Mi"Iy .surprised but ' .unused no
1 ' < > t tl v I .id/oiifJ'fHrljj 19 hi ; i
bad boys and girls into pulps
and remodel them .into good
boys and girls. 1 would lake it
for granted they had but what
beat uic was that in all- that
room full of teachers there * was
not one who had undergone the
pleasant process. If there was
one would he get up and tejl his
' experience. Not one got up. I do
not want you to understand mete
, to say you must not whip. I do
say most emphaticalv , if you do
Whip , do it and have it done
with. Never tell a scholar that
you are going to whip him or
hint after it is over with .that
.you whipped at all. There-is no
place in the world that old ad-
dagc'The Devil still 'tinds '
some mischief for idle hands to
do" applies better than in the
school room. If the pupil is
not busy at something useful
lie will be in mischief and all
the whippings in the world yill
not prevent it. There are two
elements in ever y human
being that might be taken ad
vantage of by the teacher.
Every one is interested in some
thing. Find out what it is and
interest yourself with them ,
The other is , every one wants
to know more than they do now
about something. If the thing
your pupil is interested in is
not as useful as it might be ? by
acquainting yourself with them
you may be able to direct their
thoughts to a more useful chan-
icl ; you certainly cannot until
on know their trend.
I read in the face of every
eacher present this question
'What , Mr. taxpayer and pa-
ronshave yon no duties in this
matter ? "
Most assuredly we have ,
vish I had the patrons of every
: ommon school in the land be-
ore me now. I would say to
hem with all the force of my
nature , as our benefits are
reatcr than th > teacher so is
) ur duty. It is our duty to see
hat the teachers has a suitable
) lace in which to work supplied
vilhall thenecessary appliances
o make that work for them
selves and the pupil as easy as
t can possibly be made The
school grounds should be ample
md properly decorated and to
supply our children with suit-
vble teachers. The laborer is
vorthy of his hire. " The good
eacher is worthy of better pay.
Flic poor teacher should not be
n the school room at all. I see
rom the Omaha Daily News
: hh "In New Haven , Conn. , one
ot the country's most prominent
seats of learning there are school
teachers getting only $300 a
year w h i 1 e the lowest pay
jiven street sweepers is $530. "
Unfortunately New Haven
does not stand alone. " The
figures show that Chicago ,
rVashington , Columbus , Ga..and
Meridian , Mississippi , are the
only cities in the United
States where the mini
mum pay of school teachers is
ligher than the mimimum pay
of street sweepers" just think
of it ! The pay of a cleaner of the
street is greater than the pav of
those who are to keep the im
mortal mind ot our offspring
clean and puro. The 'teachers
pay is not onlv inadequate but
they are entitled to a continu
ous pay I mean this "the teach
er is entitled to a years pay for
teaching our schools. " Every
other occupation provides em
ployment continuously , why not
that of teaching ? It is time
that school teaching cease to be
a stepping stone to some other
profession nnd become a pro
fession by its self. We patrons
if we have a colt that we think
may develop into something of a
stepper will put it into the hands
of an instructor we can always
find time to see how it is pro
grossing. We put the mosl
precious thing we have into the
hands of the teacher , and never
go. near it , we havent time. Bu
says Mr , Taxpayer , "arc we not
paying about as much tax now
as we can stand ? " Answering1
I will say , if we are I absolutely i
deny our right to fail to punish
our child. The most precious
gift of God to man , the very best
instructors and the very best
and pleasantest facilities lor
that instruction that can be se
cured for money and if we arc
going to economize we should
do it somewhere else.
I thank you for the honor and
attention given to your humble
speaker ,
Music In Education.
HY WILMAM U TOMMNS , OII10A-
GO.
Educators are not satisfied
with the existing condition of
affairs in our public schools.
Indeed HO great is the unrest
that an active controversy is
now being waged all over the
country. On one side liberals
calling for up-to-date instruc
tion to prepare for up-to-date
living , and on the other side
conservaties w h o denounce
these so-called "fads" as ineffi
cient and harmful. The burden
of proof is with the liberals , for
while no one really believes a
return to theold-fashioned three
K's is at all de.-irable it must
be shown that the new courses
of study meet the situation. The
general testimony seems t o
point the contrary. Many educators
caters contend that there is lit
tle life at the point of contact
with the pupil where humanity
means so much and machinery
counts for so little.
To prepare the youth of our
land to meet the requirements
of modern living is a problem
of immense importance , affect
ing , as it does , the welfare of
a score of million of American
children , and no pains should
be spared to reach its solution.
In this connection I introduce
music , because alter years of
original research I have found
that it can be applied with won
derful results in education.
Effect of Song upon Life.
There is an inner life in singing
without which the song , how
ever correctly executed , how
ever brilliantly preformed , is
comparatively valuelesss. This
song life may be engendered
apart from pyrotechnic vocal-
isms just as they may exist with
out it. By using this tempera
nental life , i. e. , channelling
nto lines of truth and use as
veil as beauty , a wonderful
'orce is generated which does
lot pass with the cessation of
he voice vibration , but remain
in enduring energy , capable of
> eing used in innumerable ways.
The powers of song as they nre
tow indulged , great as they are
ire no more to be manifested
than the g itler and dazzle of
funshine compares with the
sun's power to warm , to fructify.
Carrying the illustration furth
er the sunshine gains in effi
ciency by vvorking with and
through the elements , earth and
air and water , without all of
which it produces only a barren
cloudless desert. In like man
ner this inner life force seeks
association with the mind and
heart and will. So many sing
ers there are with fine voices
who supply sunshine qualities
to the more prosaic qualities of
their hearers , but who lack in
themselves those associate
qualities which make for the
enrichment of rounded charac
ter. Selected.
Chant The Beauty Of The Good.
Emerson says : "Do not bark
against the bad , but chant the
beauty of the good. " . Thought
ful people niconizi * the power ol
"suggestion. " If the beautiful
tilings in life appeal to us we
are sure to find them. If the
pleasant , happy , joyous side
has attractions for ns we wil
turn to it instinctively. We
find what we persistently and
earnestly searcli for always
whether it be good or evil , hap
, piness.or misery. ) / _ / \
Teacher's Qualifications.
No man of prominence has
emphasized the value of normal
instructions with better logic
than the late J. Sterling Morton :
"We demand for Nebraska
educators. We demand profes
sionally trained teachers , men
and women of irreproachable
character and welltestcd abili
ties. We demand from our leg
islature laws raising the stan
dard of the profession and ex
alting the office of the teacher.
As tlie doctor of medicine or
the practitioner at law is only
admitted within the pale of his
calling upon the production of
his parchment or certificates } so
the applicant for the position of
instructor in our primary and
other school should be required
by law to first produce his di
ploma , his authority to teach ,
from the normal schools.
"We'call no uneducated quack
or charlatan to perform surgery
upon the bodies or our children
lest they maybedeformud , crip
pled and mained physically all
their lives. Let us take equal
care that we intrust the devel
opment of the mental faculties
to skilled instructors of mag
nanimous character that the
mentalities of our children may
not be mutilated , deformed and
crippled to halt and limp
through all the centuries of
their never-ending lives. The
deformed body will die , and be
forever put out of sight under
the ground , but a mind made
monstrous by bad teaching dies
not , but stalks forever among
the ages' an immortal mockery
of the divine image. "
