PRICE 3 CENTS V) v&' s r.-sri WSJ TEACHERS GATHER Held Two Sessions Yesterday Chancellor Andrews' Address. The convention of the Stnte Teach ers' association is now in full swing. Yesterday the campus was thronged with the visiting instructors who visit ed the principal places of interest and made themselves at home to the best of their ability, taking advantage of the kindly spirit of hospitality proffered them by the University authorities. The advance guard began to arrive Thursday but the list was substantially sweUed yesterday. Thursday evening they held their first meeting in Memorial hall, at which a number of Inspiring addresses were made. An account of this meeting was published In yesterday's Issue. Yesterday morning before a splendid crowd of students and teachers assem bled Chancellor Andrews delivered an address of welcome to the visitors. He extended a greeting to them in behalf of the students, faculty and regents. They were not only Invited to make use of University rooms and the prem ises for the purpose of their meeting, but also to viBit the offices, classes and principal points of interest. He said that it was a good thing for the stu dents and the University to have visit ors come, as it shows that there are people who care to know of our Univer sity. It would seem as If the commis sioners had turned the work over to the faculty without further interest, dooming thorn competent to administer affairs properly, and it Ib Indeed a de light to have here an intellectual and critical representation of people who are Interested In our work. Chancellor Andrews said that the In struction of students In the first eight grades was the most Important of all, and that of tho rising generation in the first grade ranked next. But the teachers out in tho state and the stu dents here are doing important work, and each can help the other do their work. Tho chancellor expressed his pride at seeing so many of our graduates taking such high rank as instructors. A great part of tho educational work at least one-half that is being carried on in the high schools of the state Is being done by our own sons and daughters. And of course there is no objection to those coming in from the outside, and there Is no desire to set up a compari son. In fact some of the very best work is done by those coming from oth- nr tnntltllt Inns. Tho superintendents and teachers on the grounds know a hundred times as much about pedagogy as the average person here. University teaching Is not nearly so good as that of the high school. Wo are absolute In our faith that wo know It all. But when It comes pq a question of how to teach what we know, how to make it take, and how to Inoculate tho students with it wo fall down. It is to be hoped that thoso who teach in tho University will gather tho inspiration and pour pedagogy Into tho students. There is certainly a chance for in structors in Unlvorsltlos and Colleges to loarn. Tho best instruction Is given in high schools and throughout tho public sChool system at largo. But tho instruction in tho high school Is not as good as grade instruction . Tho grade of instruction is not as high. So many boys and glrlB run away from tho high school because tho teach ers there forget what those In the grades never forgot. They forgot the pupil. The students aro lost in the sub ject. But they aro nevor lost in the grades. Tho central idea of grade in slruction is to build up the pupils in character and make-men and women out of them. Tho great 'majority of grade teachers never forget that the making of the pupil and the forming of his character are taking plaqe. COLORADO vs. NEBRASKA NEBRASKA FIELD 3 P. M. General Admission 50c. But this is not so in tho high school. Tho teachers forget why they are there. A man with a specialty comes and re gards the class as materlahupon which he Is there to spring his powers. He doesn't necessarily ignore tho pupils, may like them. But the pupil Is made be a propriety In a teacher high enough in his line in becoming wrapped up in a subject and thinking relatively less of the pupils, but if there are such men in the University we won't send them to perdition we will let them off with the tar and feathers. No subject should be set up tts a god. The chancellor again welcomed the visit lug teachers and superintendents heartily extending to them the liberty of the grounds and buildings. The State Superintendents and Teach ers' association met yesterday morning at 9 o'clock in U. 107. Entertaining and Interesting discussions and ad dresses were given. "Some Fundamental Points of Dis cipline," was discussed by W. I,. Steph ens of Lincoln, who handled his subject well and brought his points out with good effect. He was followed by C. G. Pearse of Omaha, who entertainingly Bpoke on "The Business Management Work of a Suporintendont or Princi pal." A discussion by D. C. O'Connor of Norfolk, and S. H. Martin of St. Paul was the center of Interest for some time, and was enjoyed by all. Tho teachers then attended1 chapel in a body, where Cancellor Andrews ad dressed them. (At 2 p. m. they assembled in U. 107. W. L. Rouso of Plattsmouthlook up an extended treatment of the subject, "Su pervision Work in tho Grades," first dealing with it in reference to material to.be taught and then in reference to increasing the efficiency of teachers. A discussion followed, in which A. A. Reed of Superior, J. M. Pile af Wayne, and J. E. Delzell of Lexington partici pated. Dr. Fletcher L. Wharton then delivered a most impressive address on "Proper Moral Training." E E. Bishop of York ably treated the sub ject "Co-Operation of City Superintend ents and Principals with County Super intendents," and a discussion by W. W. Stoner of York and W. H. Bartz of Al liance completed the program. The enrollment has thus far mount ed up to 175 as against 113 for last year. It Is probable that it will reach at least 200. Yesterday evening the annual ban quet was held at the Lindell hotel. Principal A. H. Waterhouso of Omaha acted as toastmaster.

Hawxby, long one of tho University veteran debaters. Is a man whose merit Is winning recognition. The democrats of Richardson country unanimously nominated him for county Judge. This county being one of the wealthiest In the state, makes the po sition for which he is a candidate a most responsible one. Hawxby's politi cal career began whllo he was a stu dent, he being elected to the legislature In his Senior law year. His Intelligent and energetic labors elicited commen dation even from his political oppo nents. His untiring efforts to further the University's interests won him the loyalty of every supporter of the scar let and cream. The reputation for ability made while representative secured him the nomination for regent. The past two years have been devoted exclusively to law practice, his office being at Hum boldt. Hawxby visited the University the other day. The students know and lomcmber him. He Is the same genial, open-hearted fellow as In the days of old when he put his shoulder to the wheel In everything requiring college sp'rit. He will long be remembered as the leader of the debating team that won a unanimous decision from Kansas In '98, and the man who re trieved the day in the Colorado debate of '00, when all had loBt heart, save those who remembered that Hawxby had ten minutes to close. The University wishes Hawxby, as It does all other University men, the greatest measure of success. Scrubs Leave for Peru. Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock the Becond 'Varsity team departed for Peru, when they play the Peru Normal Sat urday. A hard game is expected. The men who made the trip are Shal lonberger, Stryker, De Bey, Horschoner, Burns, Frazler, Newton, States. Weller, Drain, Craig, Foster, Myers, Laird and Manager Morrison. College Settlement Entertains. A mimical and literary entertainment was held at tho College Settlement Thursday night. Mrs. Westerfleld had the matter in charge. Among the fea tures of the program was a vocal solo by Miss McCnne, and a piano boIo by Mrs. Emerlck, both of tho Conserva tory. There will be an open meeting Thursday of each week.

READY TO KICK-OFF Colorado Arrived Yesterday. Var sity Out at State Farm. Today the football tenuis of tho Uni versity of Nebraska and the University of Colorado will moot on the gridiron (which has been especially heated for tho occasion) to contend for the honors of the fray. The two teams are In the pink of con dition and ready to do valorous battle. The Colorado team left Denver at 11:30 Thursday night on the Rock Ib land road, arriving here at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. The team was a lit tle worn from the long trip, but with a good nlght'B reHt will bo as good as ever. They practiced yesterday afternoon at the F. & M. park in suits. The work did not last very long, but was good and earnest while It did. This team has been beaten only once this year and that at tho hands of the Kansas team by only one point. Speak ing of that game ono of the Colorado playerB remarked last night: "We could have beaten those Kan sas fellowB If the halves had been a little longer. You see we only played 25 and 20 minute halves, and In the second we had them going. If we had played the regulation time the outcome would have been different. "Each side made a touchdown In each half and wo were on the high road for another when time was called." The above statement points to a good game today and all who come out will In no wise be disappointed. The entire Colorado team will be In the game. No substitutes will be In tho line-up. All the men are eager and ready for the fray. The team tips the, beam on the aver age at 162 pounds. The next game for the Colorado team will be with the Colorado School of Minos, on Novombor 3. No game Is scheduled for noxt Saturday. The Nebraska team went out to tho State Farm for the final practice last night. Squad practice was the order of the evening and was snappy. The York team was out and watched tho practice, thereby gaining many val uable points for their game tomorrow. They are to play tho Omaha High School. Borg was In the line-up and will start In the game tomorrow, although his Injured shoulder may not permit him to play it through. Robinson's ankle Is much better and ho will probably be able to play clear through the game tomorrow. Bender Is much improved and bis ankle will probably not cause him very much Inconvenience, although It Is not entirely well yet. Aside from these few comparatively minor Injuries, the team was never In hotte,! condition for a game, and they will try and make up against Colorado for the touchdowns they did not make against Denver. It Is earnestly hoped that the team will not suffer any serious injury In the game tomorrow, as-next Saturday they aro to meet Knox, and Knox. well you have heard of them before In that game it will bo the business of tho Nebraska boys tp keep their opponents away back from the Nebraska goal, as the Knox team has In Its line-up a man, who kicks goals from the 45-yard line. That has a "wicked" sound and means that the home team will have to get busy In the blocking business. Following Is tomorrow's line-up: Borg c Fowler Hunter ' r. g Tonkin Cotton 1. g i . . . .
