The second day of the weelinc found the north Nebraska tc-aohcrf well organised for > the Kosslona Wednesday ovonlng and Thursday morning trains greatly augmented the number qf teachers In Norfolk. All received a hearty welcome In the city The high school students , whose streamers lent an additional touch ol color to Norfolk avenue Wednesday arc gone , but Thursday added some 20C more teachers to the city's guests. The first general session of the as sociutlon wan hold Wednesday after noon In the Methodist church auditor ! um , the number of teachers presonl surpassing the usual first day attend ance. The general session Thursdaj and Friday morning occur In the Nor folk Auditorium. The twenty-first an nual meeting of the North Nebraska Teachers' association was opened by Rev. J. L. Vallow Invoking the divine blessing on the visiting teachers. Superintendent Harry Hooper of Oakdalo read the first paper presented to the association. Discussing means of Increasing high school attendance , Mr. Hooper advocated class organiza tions that give a sense of responsibil ity to the students , good laboratory facilities that hold the Interest of the students In their work , eighth grade teachers minded to Interest their pu pils In the advanced work and above all a superintendent or principal able to feel and show a personal Interest In each pupil. In discussion Miss Flor ence Donclson of Norfolk urged that It fell upon both grade and , high school teacher to overcome indifferent Influ ences of homo and street. The place of the sciences in Incul cating living truth was urged by Rob ert Thomson of Randolph In a paper on "Nature Study. " H. II. Hickman of Wausa said that the real alms of na ture study should be to show not ma terial things but the Immaterial thought of God behind all nature. Miss Mao Beck wanted nature study to bo given a practical bend. It should not bo taught , she said , under the name of nature study but should bo used In connection with other studlts to lend new Interest to the subjects. Discussing the arguments for and against the use of written work , O. R , Bowen of Plerco urged that such work taught rhetorical form and neatness , encouraged concentration and throw children on their own resources. The place for written work , ho said , was In examinations , In note books and occa sionally In recitations. William Flnno- gan of Hartlngton malntahiQd that half the written work now done would yield three times tlio present results If done "twice ns carefully" and "twice as prayerfully.

BOARD OF EDUCATION DETERMINES - MINES ON ACTION THIS WEEK. WILL ASK FOR PLANS AT ONCE The Board'of Education Decided to Ask Different Architects for Plans for New Building Board Will Meet ' Again Friday Night. | , From Thursday's Dally. ] Tlio Norfolk - board of education , meeting Wednesday evening , , declared Us * Intention of taking the public frank ly Into Its cpulldenco In all matters re lating to the building operations of the board. With a bond Issue definitely approved by the voters the board de cided on Immediate stops to secure more definite information touching the comparative advantage and cost ol different plans open to the bpard. The school board Is considering an entire ly new high school building as com pared with a remodelled building on the old foundation. The old founda tion may be used in rebuilding but the standing walls will not. These walls 111 bo taken down at once. The motion to take down the stand- ig walls was made by Dr. Salter , who ffored a resolution declaring It to be 10 sense of the boaid that the walls hould be leveled to the foundation nd providing that the board shouh roceed as soon as possible to have the vails taken down and the bricks leaned for future use. The resolution vas adopted by acclamation. Wind Damaged Walls. It w.as said at the board mooting liat little sentiment now exists favor ble to the use of the old walls am hat In quarters where it was stll maintained that the walls are safe 1 vas admitted that their value for re mlldlng had been very materially re need by the damage Inflicted by the vlnd. On motion of Vlelo , Dr. Cole ) r. Salter and Secretary Matrau were lamed as a special committee to at end to having the walls of the old ilgh school building taken down. The vails will bo brought to the level o ho foundation as soon as the arrange nents can be made. They may come lown this week. Mr. Matrau wanted the board to ilace a fence around the high schoo mlldlng beyond the sidewalk as a pro- ectlon to the public from the old walls and chimney. The board , however/fa vored taking down the walls at once and thought that a fence would not be iceded. At Secretary Matron's request ho vas authorized to secure bids for the ale of the new school bonds. As mucl of the bond Issue will be placed on th market as the board may find that i needs In rebuilding the burnt schoo 1OUSC. To Get New Plane. Dr. Salter then offered a motion tha he secretary bo Instructed to ask dl ; 'erent architects to furnish plans t the board In competitions , the arch ccts to provide plans for utilizing th old foundation In the construction o v modern building and also plans fo an entirely new building , the plans to : > o accompanied by the estimated cost. The motion was carried and Is expect ed to give the board the Information on which the final decision can bo based. Dr. Salter pointed out in the discus sion that the old building had boon planned at a time when the attend ance was very much smaller than to day , also that the present attendance Is fast Increasing. The high school will have 200 students , Dr. Salter said , by next year. With the passage of the rural high school law , Norfolk may have to provide for 300 high school pupils within the next very few years. This suggests to the board that their arrangement must consider the needs of a high school largo enough to re quire an entire building for Its proper care. If the high school should fill all of a now building the board would have to provide for the seventh and eighth grades In other buildings. Two of the grade schools , nt least , were built with a view of having additions added at no great cost. During the evening Dr. Cole suggest ed that the recently elected members of the board bo Invited to sit with the old board until they qualify for office. This would afford the new members Moderate Price ialumei taking 'owder 11.000 M will b .lt t foftf MIT roUUnt * Infulooi to " MlUi found U l .i < chance to fnmlliarlzo 'themselves vlth existing conditions. * " Meet Again Friday / f , The board meeting was holrt iln Dr. Colo's office and was attended by all t members save M.
