BECOMING EFFEMINATE.
Iowa Educator Sacrifices Chivalry to
What in His Opinion Is the Truth.
Dos Molnes , Iowa , Jan. G. President
G. Stanley Hall , of Clark university ,
stirred the delegates to the Iowa state
teachora' convention yesterday , In an
address , In which ho declared that
there were too many women teachers
In the schools , and that American
schools were becoming "cffominlzed. "
There nro 1,400 teachers attending the
convention , and nearly three-fourths
of them are women.
"The time has come , " said President
Hall , "for n movement for men's
rights. For thirty years wo have had
n war for women's rights , and now the
pendulum has swung too far. This Is
an ago of over-femlnlzatlon , especially
In the schools. Men should bo prin
cipals , with men under them , so that
they will be contradicted once In n
while. In the schools now , where we
find men principals , they have only
women under them , and the men are
becoming sissies. "
He also deplored the ban on corpo
ral punishment and opposed co-educa
tlon. He compared the schools of
Germany with the schools of America ,
to the advantage of Germany.

leges hold alumni banquets. Former

NEW HANDY DIRECTORY
F. S. Roblson.Publishes a Satisfactory
Directory of Kearney.
F. S. Roblson , who will be In Norfoll
within a week to commence work era
a new city directory , has just com
plcted n directory of Kearney , o
which the Hub says :
The mechanical department of the '
Hub Is just turning out a "Handy |
Directory of the City of Kearney , "
which is published by Frank S. Robl '
son , who has put forth every effort
to give the people a complete piece '
of work In every particular.
A thorough canvass of the city ha 1
been made , from house to house , and
no effort has been spared to secure
every householder and legitimate dwel-
or within the city. There will doubt
less be some errors and a few omis
sions , the latter arising only from inability -
ability In some cases to secure the de
sired Information from those most in
terested. Some of the customary mat
ters of directory Information that Is
usually Inserted , merely to nil space ,
and which Is no material value , has
been purposely omitted. As a whole
however we are confident that the re
sult Is n "Handy Directory" that
will meet with the needs of the com
munity and that will very generally
meet with approval.
The number of names In the direct
ory proper , 3,000 Is somewhat less
than were contained In the last Kear
ney directory published , but this fact
does not Indicate that the population
of the city has grown less. Instead
it Is occasioned solely by the method
employed , which simply requires a lar
ger multiple to arrive approximately
at the city's population , which Is about
8,000 at this time and gives promise
of larger Increase during the year of
1908.
1908.A
A miscellaneous directory of lodges ,
churches , societies , hospitals , etc. , Is
given In the front of the book , togeth
er with the city officers , followed by
the directory proper , while In the back
Is a directory of the businesses to be
found , set off under different head-
Ings.
Ings.Taken
Taken all In all the book Is a very
neat piece of work and a credit to the
publishers and printers.
A Director Talks.
"I have talked with several other
directors , " said a Commercial club di
rector Monday morning , "and I think
that I can express our common senti
ment something like this : The pres
ent directors do not wish any Com
mercial club subscribers to vote or
work for their re-election with the
idea that by so doing the directors In
question would be again placed among
'the afvored few. '
"To bo a director means hard work ,
responsibility and often a certain neg
lect of private business.
"There has been some criticism of
the fact that the first ballots sent out
for the annual election wore num
bered. This was done merely lo per
mit the secretary to check off the bal
lots , a usual precaution in elections. "
DIRECTORS SHOULD NOT BE
ELECTED BY MAIL.
FAVORS AN ANNUAL MEETING
A. J. Durland Says the Place to Elect
Commercial Club Directors Should
be In the Annual Meeting and Not
Through the Postofflce.
The Importance of the annual meet-
ng of the Commercial club , to be
leld Tuesday evening In the city hall ,
was emphasized today by A. J. Dur-
and , n Commercial club director , In
nn Interview with The News. Inci
dentally Mr. Durland replied to some
criticisms that have been passed on
its position on the mode of election.
"Somo of my friends have suggested
.hat I have been trying to disrupt the
Commercial club , " said Mr. Durland.
'That Is unfair. I had a good deal to
lo with the original organization of
he club and I also have had something
o do with Its present activities.
"Whatever communications I have
addressed to the press I have signed
vlth my own name. The anonymous
otter touching Commercial club nf-
'airs which appeared recently in The
News , I may sny was in accord with
ny view of the matter and I consider
lint letter right In every particular.
"I am very much opposed to the
ilan of electing Commercial club di
rectors by mall.
"A commercial club ought to bo 1m-
lortnnt enough and the affairs It ban-
lies live enough to arouse interest
that would Invite or compel attend
ance at a regular annual meeting. I
think this meeting should be moro
.ban a ratification meeting.
"This election Is very important.
Every business man , whether a mem-
Ijer of the present Commercial club
organization or not , should make It a
point to be nt the city hall Tuesday
evening.
"So far as I am concerned I think
: he one main issue before Norfolk and
the Commercial club is the issue of
better freight rates for Norfolk. From
this point of view It would be suggest
ed that the men to be placed on the
loard of directors should be the busi
ness men of Norfolk most Interested
In securing lower rates , such men as
C. S. Bridge , H. A. Pasewalk , S. R.
Carney , L. M. Beeler , A. L. Kllllan ,
M. B. Irvin. J. D. Sturgeon , L. C. Mlt-
telstadt , E. A. Bullock , A. H. Klesau ,
H. E. Hardy and W. R. Hoffman. "

Sioux City Journal : "Billings , Mont ,
Is the snappiest town In the west since
the days of Sioux City back In 1888 , "
was the declaration of W. C. McNam-
ara who has just returned from Mon
tana , where In the future he may lo
cate. He said the state Is rich In
mineral products of all kinds , and he
had several specimens of ore to show.
He may Invest In a mine. "Montana , "
continued Mr. McNamnra , "Is the larg
est wool producing state In the union ,
and I might Invest in some sheep
should I make the move I contem
plate. He said the government has
opened a big irrigation ditch flowing
through the Yellowstone valley In the
Crow creek reservation country. This
has made land valuable , he said.
"Billings , " said Mr. McNamara , "Is
a town of 15,000 population and Is n

FRANK GOTCH SAYS THERE IS
TOO MUCH OF IT.
BUT HE'S GOING TO CUT IT
Famous Wrestling Champion , Well
Known In Norfolk , Says That In
Towns Where There Is n Favorite ,
the Match Is Not Always Square.
Frank Gotch , well known In Nor
folk , who will wrestle George llackon-
schmldt , the Russian lion , In this coun
try next May , says ho will cut out all
crooked work In wrestling hereafter.
'I will admit , " said Gotch , "that the
game has been run down in various
tarts of the country , especially in
cities where they have had n local
champion , who would never wrestle
tnlcss protected. Why , I have had
fellows nsk mo to lay down to middle
weights just because they wore the
icts of the towns where they lived ,
md where the match was coming off.
They argue that if I should beat their
nan In his own town It would kill off
i good drawing card. When I was a
green sucker I used to allow myself
o be buncoed In this manner. You
ust watch my smoke hereafter and
see what I do to the men who wrestle
no. I have not had any chance to
rain In months , hut I am going to
ako n good course of work and go nt
hose fellows and bent them so fast
hey won't ever know how It was done.
"I will In the future show no mercy
o any living wrestler , and I am open
o meet any man in the world under
my conditions. Another thing I want
to say to you Is this : If ever I make
a handicap match to throw a man so
ninny falls in a given time I will do
my level best o fulfill my contract. I
will put a crimp in that old game of
beating the fellow within one fall of
what I agreed to do. In other words ,
my matches are going to bo rigidly on
.he square , for I am eager to find out
ust how much I can do In the way of
winning. "

City Directory.
F. S. Roblson , who comes well rec
ommended as an honest , conscientious
directory man , has commenced his can
vass of the city for support In the-
work of making an up-to-date direc
tory for Norfolk. Norfolk certainly
needs a now directory If any town over
did , as the one now In use Is obsolete *
and never was very accurate. Every
city in the state the size of Norfolk
has a city directory , and as It Is an
article that Is used every day of n
business man's life Norfolk Is In ur
gent need of n now one at this time.
The opportunity Is offered by Mr. Ilolr-
Ison to have such a work compiled by
one who Is thoroughly familiar with
directory making , and It is up to the
public spirited business men of the
city to give the enterprise sufficient
support to enable It to go through.
Any lover can act so well that his
lady love will frequently remark how
good he Is to her , but the real hero
Is the old fellow who has been mar
ried ten or twenty years , and whosa.
wife Is his greatest admirer.
