NORFOLK NEWS : FKIDAY , APHIL 6 , 11)00. ) TEACHERS TALK OF PRESENT DAY CHILD VIEWPOINTS. FRENZIED GREED OF DOLLARS Home Influence of Business Men Upon Their Children Was Attacked at the First Session of Northern Nebraska Teachers' Association. I From Thursday's Dnlly.J Tlio 'Itlcn that nionoy-KcttliiK Is the chief 'end of life \vna roundly scored , asvoll ns tile hiislness-nmn father of today. : who. engrossed with his own comcmrqlnl nffnlrs , IIUB little time to devote- his children , In the llrsl ROS slon pfithe twelfth annnnl meeting of the N.ar.th Nebraska Teachers' nnso- vclatlqn 'lilcli was held In the high school , assembly room yesterday utter- noon. . The topic which brought about the discussion upon the wi-culled prac tlcal education for school children , was that assigned to Superintendent A. V. Teed of Dlxon county , "A Uroador .and More Substantial Elementary Ed ucation. " Mr. Teed took the view that the el- ' ementnry education should bo of a more practical and sounder nature , while Superintendent Sornisou of No ligh , who followed with a discussion , designated the "so-called practical ed ucation" ns "but the frenzied desire of something that will aid the child to earn a few dollars speedily. " Practically this same view was held by Superintendent Stlno of Ilartlng- ton , who also discussed the question. "What Is the real purpose of life to day ? " ho asked. Ho cited the theories of the ancient , dwelling upon their po etic natures and their philosophy of thinking and getting enjoyment and happiness from life , while today , he said , the chief aim seems to bo prin cipally money-getting. Ho also said that the teaching of language and common sense English should bo among the practical thlngcs taught. Children must bo taught correct views of life. Attacks Present Home Influence. One of the most Interesting fea tures of the afternoon was the attack of Superintendent Sorensen upon pres ent systems of homo Influence. Ho said that the business man gives too little attention to the development of his ciiiidrcn. "He barely knows them , so engrossed is he in his business af fairs and money-getting , " he declared. Superintendent Sorensen also said that children should be given a course in manual training , that the idea of wealth as a chief aim In life should bo crowded out of life and that there should be a more positive moral in struction. Superintendent Teed , In his treat ment of the subject , showed first that only a small percent of school chil dren ever received more than an ele mentary education. Education should ' bo first practical and then cultural , he said , If possible. Ho touched upon the course of study. Ho said there is too much adding and not enough sub stitution. Quality Is often sacrificed to quantity. Text books present too much material Arithmetic xhould bo completed In less than eight years He urged a more thorough knowledge of subjects , snld that too many teach ers lack In scholarship and entered a plea for more careful work. He said that there Is more interest and more of a desire to make touching a real profession , i ecessary to development. President Wilson Calls to Order. President E. P. Wilson of Wayne , who Is a big man both physically and mentally , called the meeting to order at 2 o'clock. Miss Ruth Shaw gave a piano solo which was rendered with feeling' . Invocation was pronounced by Rev. W. J. Turner , and then Su perintendent Teed took up his sub ject , which he handled In Interesting manner. Lecture Tonight. . Tonight Dr. Thomas E.
