when ho took Iho platform at a llttlo

Kvory session IUIH proven very much
of IntoroHt , ono or two developing Into
exciting discussions. Strictly trim In
thin of Uio county suporlnlondonlH'
mooting hold yesterday afternoon , and
of tlio high school section. The coun
ty superintendents' section oponoil
with a pnpor liy C. W. Cruin of Mndl-
won on , "Tho County Snporlnlondont'H
Most Useful Work. " Charles Arnot of
Fremont followed with discussion and
the general discussion after that was
Intensely pitched. "Tho special Ad
vantages of the Rural School , " was
opened by A. 10. Ward of Hnrtlngton
and discussed by Wood Smith of Ful-
lertou. Frank Pllger of Plerco Intro-
duccd the subject , "How Best to As
sist the Hurnl Teacher , " and wns fol
lowed Interestingly by F. C. Marshall
of Center. This session lasted for
moro than three hours nnd attracted
much attention.
Latin Is Assailed.
An attack upon Latin In Its montnl
value was brought out In a paper read
by W. J. Seely of Kmorson nnd dis
cussed by Maggie McLean of Ran
dolph. Both were ngalnst Ijitln , stnt-
Ing that It did not pay for the amount
of tlmo nnd energy expended In It.
Instantly the subject created a stir as
though a match had been tossed Into
n powder barrel. The whole session
was given over to It and ( hero was a
battle royal between the leaders and
the supporters of Latin. In the end
Latin seemed to have won supremacy
and It wns the prevailing opinion that
it had been proven , so far ns that ses
sion nt least was concerned , that Lat
in Is n very great benefit In develop
ing logic , clear thinking and excellent
reasoning.
In the hluh school session R B.
Sherman of Sehuyler led In the paper.
"How Karly Should Pupils Special
ise ? " which was discussed hy V. A.
Glittery of Nlekerson. "An Ideal
School. " was the subject of an Inter
esting paper byV. . M. Kern of Col
umbus , In which he described a school
that Is located In Wisconsin. H. K. '
Mason of Stnnton ably discussed It. j
Music by the Fifth and Sixth grades '
was presented with a great deal of |
credit to the singers.
F. .1. Kelly of Cedar Itaplds spoke
on , "English Teaching Made Interest
ing. " Mr. Kelly led very elllclently ,
proving himself to have the Kngllsh
language well in hand , lie was a j
member of the Knullsh club at the '
,
state university and was therefore \
well cho.sen for the paper. Ills Idea j |
was that the pupil should be given
full sway In Ills Imagination and en-1
conraned to follotlio bent of his own '
individuality.
'
The discussion on Mr. Kelly's pa
per was at once taken up by the as
sembly , who brought out many good
points. .

Miss Idelle Taylor of Pierce was III 1 ,
and unable to bo present. Her paper - j '
per was to have been. "Geography In 1
the First Five Grade * , " ami the dis

cussed It.
Ajjalnnt Student Government.

AFTERMATH OF THE TEACHERS-
ASSOCIATION MEETING.
MAY SPLIT THE ASSOCIATION
Movement Is on Foot , According to n
Fremont Report , to Organize nn
Eastern Nebraska Teachers Associa
tion Norfolk Profits by Meeting.
The session of the North Nebraska
Teachers' association recently closed
lu Norfolk was from many viewpoints
tlln mow ! NllrroMnflll Unit linn Vnt IIAIIII
hold within the history of the organi
zation. This was the first mooting
held without advance enrollments be
ing secured by the local managers of
the meeting. Heretofore It has been
customary to get enrollments signed
by business houses In Norfolk In order
( o help defray expenses , but that was
not rtono this spring and nearly 100
teachers were In Norfolk from the
outside.
The treasury of the association still
has n llttlo money $00 from the do-
chunntory contest nnd $10 In the as
sociation fund. The district was more
widely scattered this year than at nny
tlmo before , there being teachers from
Boncsteel , Herman , South Omalia.
Pouca , Hnrtlngton. Wnnsa , Columbus
nnd Schuyler , which shows the Im
mense circle drawn from. Norfolk's
geographical center , rendering It of
easy access to all of these points ,
works In Its favor and makes It quite
essential that the meetings ho held
at this place.
Norfolk business houses report that
the association has been ono of the
best things held here for years. The
teachers who were here were all well
satlslled with the meeting.
The report from Fremont that n now
association Is likely to be formed , In
cluding the eastern district , will he
read with Interest. Such n move ,
It is said here , would destroy a good
portion of the usefulness of both nnd
would not be a particularly advisable
thing to do.

Norfolk music lovers who have re
turned : from Omaha , where they lis
tened to the Parsifal grand opera , ap
pear to have been much pleased with
some features of the entertainment.
The presentation of "Lucia do Lam-
mermoor , " last night was much more
dramatic and brilliant In many ways
than the Parsifal production , some of
the superior voices being In the "Lu
cia" opera which were not in Parsifal.
Applause was permitted at last night's
performance , but not allowed at Par
sifal on account of the sacredncss of
the production. Many from Norfolk
nnd other northern Nebraska points
who attended the first night remained
over to see "Lucia" last night. To
the educated ear In classical music
the Parsifal piece was a rare treat ,
but to the layman It seems to have
been largely uninteresting.
Among the enrollments of teachers
from out of the city attending the as
sociation were : Misses Stuart ,
Thompson , Rennlck , Snider , Bronll-

Snow fell In Norfolk Mils morning
between 7 nnd 8 o'clock quite heavily ,

I second that having been
, a three-cor
nered fight In which Dan Craven rep
resented , the citizens party nn.l Aug
ust Brummund the democratic. P. J.
Stafford won a victory over H. A.
Pasewalk In the Third ward and Pat
Crottv defeated J. L. Hershiser In the
Fourth.
The majority for the democratic
candidates ' ranges from sc\enteeitto
more than 150. After the count was
j
learned during the night , the ballots
requiring many hours to total , Dr.
Mackay , the real victor , and his fol
lowing of democrats celebrated down
town over their winning. "Hurrah
for Dr. Mackay ! " were the cries ,
"Hurrah , Hurrah for Dr. Mackay. "
The precise reason for so over
whelming a defeat of the republican
ticket Is perhaps Impossible to detect.
There were , no doubt , a large number
of reasons which , taken together , tend
ed to the downfall in this campaign.
Dr. Mackay's paper , supported and
made possible by republicans , un
doubtedly had great weight. Given
ammunition by the republican party
with which to loid his gun he used
every ounce of powder to advantage
In nssilllug the same people or rath
er the principles for which they were
alleged to have stood.
Howsoever the defeat came about ,
the barefaced totals of the voting
stand out in cold , ctiiseled figures to
day and It Is up to the new adminis
tration to nnnio police force , a water
commissioner , a street commissioner
anij a policy for Norfolk's way of
living and doing things during the
coming twelvemonth.
WEDNESDAY WRINKLES.

Roads in nnd about Norfolk are
very rough and traveling over them Is
a hard proposition. A grader between
Norfolk nnd the Junction would ma
terially help out the condition.
Rev. R P. Wlgton left today for Os

few men retained by that concern

employes in n bunch , Mr. Coleman

Norfolk store not unacquainted with
the stock nnd demands upon that line
of work.
