THE ESSENTIALS IN THE
TMBIRBOF A TEACHER
I From an article in "School and So
siety" by G. W. A. Lnckey.)
"In the making of a teacher the
thins of chief concern is the making of
a man, a man who feels keenly, thinks
clearly, acts nobly, and aspires to live
truly. It is only out of such material
that the true teacher can be made.
Teaching is enabling others to see
and feel what you see and feel. It is
living truly and putting the dynamics
of Buch a life into the lives of others.
It is the process of implanting into
the souls of others worthy desires and
lofty aspirations that will survive the
wrecks of time. To accomplish, this
object we should begin early. We can
not begin too early. 1 would start
with the cradle roll, follow sympatheti
cally every step and movement in the
growth of the individual, surround him
with an environment full of interest,
but clean and wholesome. I should
desire that my subject be possessed of
good health and a good inheritance,
but as for the rest 1 should be willing
to accept the responsibility.
"To understand and intelligently
direct the growth of a plant or an
animal, one must become familiar with
its life history. This is even more
true when applied to the education an
ddevelopment of the individuel. To
become 'B. vtrue teacher one must be
come a true leader of men. But his
problem is still greater; beginning
with the immature, he must so shape
their growth and development that
when they roach maturity they shall
in tura become true leaders of men.
In order to do this one must know the
meaning of life, the nature of the
individual and the end to be sought,
and the means to that end. lie must
have a definite philosophy of life; one
that explains the meaning and purpose
of man, the facts and fancies, the ideas
and habits, the beliefs and aspirations,
that make up his physical and spiritual
existence.
"In the development of the individ
ual there are three important stager,
which I can barely mention: child
hood, from birth to twelve or fourteen;
youth, from fourteen to eighteen or
twenty; early manhood, from twenty
to twenty-four or twenty-six. The first
is chiefly physical and selfish, a period
of promiscuous gathering; the second
is a period of transition, both physical
and psychical, the breaking up of old
and the taking on of the new ideals.
Kenralizing. organizing, idealizing; the
Inst period is one of specialization, of
balancing, weighing, selecting and
entering upon one's life work. The
mind acts so differently in each of

EX-SUPT. BISHOP WRITES
TEXT BOOK ON CORN
AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOP. ANTS
In fighting household ants no one
measure can be recommended that will
j afford satisfactory relief from these
I pests in all cases, as the procedure
1 must be adapted largely to the indi
vidual case. The following formula,
! recommended by the. Department of
1 Entomology of the College of Agrieul
Iture, has, however, proved to be effec
tive in many instances:
Dissolve five pounds of sugar in
one and one-half pints of water in a
double boiler and heal gently. Add
one-fourth ounce of sodium arsenite
'dissolved in a little hot water to the
! syrup- Moisten a sponge in this syrup
and place in a i""1 "
jar with the porcelain cap broken out
and four large holes punched in the
lid with a twenty-penny nail. The
sponge should about half fill the in
terior of the jar. Trepare anywhere
from one to six of such jars and place
them where the ants are foraging.
The worker ants will fora-e greedily
on this for some hours, after which

PROFESSOR'S SON
WALKS 1,000 MILES
Launcelot Gowen, son of Dr. H. H.
Gowen, professor of oriental history,
literature and institutions in the state
university, walked from Berkeley, Cal.,
to Seattle, a thousand miles, at the close
of. the college year this spring. Mr.
Gowen was one of a party of six who
left Berkeley. May 18. One by one, as
they reached their home towns, they
dropped out, and Gowen finished the
last stretch, from Portland to Seattle,
alone. Mr. Oowen was graduated in
May from the University of California,
with the degree of bachelor of arts in
architecture University of Washing
ton Press Bulletin.
That great interest is being aroused
concerning the Picnic is shown by the
fact that many classe are being ex
cused tol enable people to attend.
One of the interesting and entertain
ing features of the Picnic will be a
game between the Peruvians and the
Kearneyites, to take place probably
after the "eats" are served. All the hun
dred Peruvians in school should rally
to the support of the club.
The ticket sale close at noon today.
The ticket committee desires to get
an accurate check on the attendance
as early as possible.
The schedule of -cars is as follows:
To Epworth Park. Special cars at
4 p. m. Cars every ten minutes from
4:25 till 66:15. Return trip no special
cars. Cars every ten minutes from
7:35 till 9:25. All cars leave for the
park from Tenth and O streets.
The lunch will be served at 6:15.
The refreshment committee promises
a good feed, but urges the necessity
of buying tickets early so that an
estimate may be obtained on the at
tendance. Ice cold lemonade and
brick ice cream will be sold on the
grounds. The original intention was
to serve box lunches but the cost of
paper and the high admission charge
made it impossible.
A field meet with a variety of entries
and various other methods of enter
tainment have been -worked up by the
entertainment committee. The heat
will doubtless prevnt vigorous amuse
ments early in the afternoon, but the
park will be open to University folk
any time in the afternoon. Tt may
be reached easily by Hospital cars,
which run every twenty minutes start
ing on the hour from Tenth and O.
Alumni in the city are especially
urged to attend the picnic and to get t
I in touch with the summer school.
