Joseph Contois of this city. In order
that the parent might head off his run
away son. Instead of running away ,

MadlHon county plucked two of the
three Hrst-prlzo plums at the Northern
Nebraska Declamatory contest held In
the MothodlRt church of this city.
There wore eighteen clever speakers
In the three races , and Mndlson nnd
Norfolk each took a first-honor gold
modal. Miss Martha Glltnor of Madi
son won first place In the oratorical
class nnd Sam Ersklno took honors
for Norfolk In the humorous class.
Miss Marie Zlnnockor of Columbus
waa the other flrst-prlzo winner , head
ing the list In the dramatic class.
In splto of the stormy night , hun
dreds of eager auditors crowded their
way Into the lingo auditorium of the
Methodist Episcopal church to listen
to the eighteen numbers on the pro
gram , and still other scores wore com
pelled to r.tny at homo because seaty
wore unavailable.
It was Just 12 o'clock , midnight ,
when the contest ended and the crowd
loft the church , the program having
begun nt 7:30. :
Sam Ersklne's Clever Work.
Sam Ersklno made a very clever Im
personator of an "exceedingly funny
reading , "Mr. Hay's Memory System. "
Ho took the role of a man who couldn't
remember what ho started for and his
experiences wore- ridiculous to a de
gree. In one Instance he was almost
thrown out of a department store ,
where ho had Intended to shop. Mr.
Ersklno represents the Norfolk high
school and was the only contestant
who tried for a place In the program
of last night from horo. He met the
most enthusiastic anticipations of Ills
friends nnd admirers , nnd the Norfolk
rooters went wild when the decision
was announced.
Miss Jarvls of Atkinson , In "Naugh
ty 7oll , " was a close second , while all
of the others In the race did remark
ably well.
Miss Glltner Spoke Well.
Miss Martha Glltner of Mndlson , in
"Toussnlnt I/Overture , " delivered a
thrilling bit of oratory and did it well.
She held her audience in closest at
tention throughout , her gestures were
graceful , her nmnnor natural and her
articulation clean-cut. Miss Glltnor
Is a daughter of Jolin Glltnor , n farm
er living between Madison and Battle
Creek , nnd Is only n freshman In the
high school at Madison , being much
younger than those against whom she
contested.
Francis Mnthows of Albion took second
end with "Virginia Must Prepare for
War , which he delivered in splendid
manner.
Miss Zlnnecker Wins , Too.
"Tho Girl. " was the simple subject
of the reading which , rendered by
Miss Marie Klnneckor of Columbus ,
won first place In the dramatic class.
Miss Zlnnecker was attractive In ap
pearance , has a well modulated voice ,
spoke naturally though with fooling and
olmlnated unnecessary emotion of a
tragic nature.
Miss Norma Henslcr of Plerco was
second In this class , and did so very
well that It was but on a small margin
that turned the scales away from her
as first of the speakers. Her reading
was "Tho Slonx Chief's Daughter. "
Miss Xolla Cook of Plainvlow won
third prl/o in this class with , "Tho
Chariot Race , " which she delivered in
Intensely Interesting fashion.
Judges were J. A. McLean , South

TEACHERS ARE BLAMED FOR THE
PRESENT CORRUPTION.
SHOULD ELEVATE THE STANDARD
Superintendent McLean Spoke of the
Present Day Farcical Court Deci
sions , Graft and Money Scandals ,
Signs of Something Wrong.
"Tho greatest need of our country
today Is decent citizens , " said Super
intendent .T. A. McLean of South Oma
ha at the morning session of the
teachers' association. Mr. McLean
spoke on the "Personal Element of
the Teacher , " dwelling on the neces
sity of Individual training , and the
share of responsibility which can bo
lodged against teachers for such pres
ent day affairs as the Insurance dis
graces and the farcical decisions of
our courts. The general discussion
of the topic pointed to a belief that
teachers are in a large measure re
sponsible for the present moral condi
tions , and that by taking more per
sonal responsibility they could prevent
much of the general graft that holds
sway in the country.
"By their friends yo shall know
them , " was Mr. McLean's first thought.
"May there not bo something lacking
In our present day affairs when mul
titudes of great men have proven recreant
*
reant to some great trust ? " he asked ,
citing the recent decisions of courts
which ho termed as farcical. "Wo
must sober ourselves from national
extravagance nnd come to a srn- and
righteous Ihing , " he said , and declared
that recent events have shown us to
seem to lack In real character.
The personal element in teaching ,
he said , is the strongest character
builder. As n pupil is taught , so ho
thinks. Two elements are necessary
in teaching , teacher and pupil. He did
not ngroo with the world. Much of
the world's progress has been made
by the individual. It Is not book lore
so much as character building that is
needed.- Decent citizenship is the
greatest need of the country today.
, Industrial Education.
Industrial education In Nebraska
vas presented by Deputy State Super-
ntendent E. C. Bishop. He said in
> art :
There must bo education and it
hould reach all. At present there Is
a decrease in the grades. Schools
should prepare for life nnd not neces
sarily for advanced school work. We
mist bring Into play all the activities
of the child. Manual training , when
ntroduced , does not interfere with the
egular school work as Is shown by
he fact that the school taking prizes
n manual training also takes prizes in
, he literary work. To train the hand
s to train the brain behind It. A man
s what he does. Real education is
what Is lived by the child. Out-of-door
study is attractive. Text book slavery
should be removed. Exhaustion of
some part Is necessary to develop lat
ent powers. He referred to an exhibit
shown by Superintendent Sherman of
Columbus. This work is attractive
nnd will be on exhibition at the high
school during the sessions. There are
several different types of work in this
display. Nature study should bo more
gpneral. There are too many technical
names now used , and most teachers
can't handle the work satisfactorily.
Agriculture was touched on as a form
of manual training. He referred to
domestic science , which has been
started nt Lincoln.
Teachers' Characteristics.
President Pyle of Wayne spoke on
the subjects characteristic of a true
teacher. He thought a teacher shoulc
be regarded as a great leader in ad
vancement. The teacher makes the
school and the school makes for life
One of the saddest things is the lack
of responsibility the tetacher is willing
to assume. We pour knowledge into
the child without seeing that he as
slmllntes It. A teacher should have
these five essentials : Positive knowl
edge of subject matter , method , enjoyment
mont in work , ability to create in
boys nnd girls a desire to bo some
body , power to secure perfect contro
over teachers.
The session opened in the church
The Norfolk High School orchestra
rendered a selection and was recalled
Then the eighth grade chorus gave
two selections.
The violin solo which was to have
been icndoied by F. C. Mm shall did IQ
not take place owing to the fact that *
Mr. Koonigstoin left on an early train
for Stnnton , but will bo given Friday
evening.
Dr. Green , who lectures , was nt the
session.
Sherman Next President.
Politics In the association have not
yet begun to warm up to any great
extent , though there was some little
talk this morning on the presidency.
Superintendent E. B. Sherman of Co
lumbus was ono of the teachers men
tioned in connection with this olllco.
There were more than 300 teachers
enrolled late today , with prospects of
moro coming.

nonths and during that time he has
endeared himself to the members of
the church and congregation , nnd we
are very sorry indeed to part with htm.
He has done especially good work
xinong the young peoplo. When he
came after the church had been with
out a pastor for seven months the Sab
bath school was small and we had no
choir. The school has grown to al
most twice Us size then and we have a
full choir of young people. May God'a j
blessing go with him wherever he ! '
may go and comfort us that are left "
behind. A Presbyterian.
