State Teachers Associ- -ation Convenes SPEAKERS ARE HEARD Governor McMullen and Dr. Edward C. Elliott On Program Teachers of tho Nebraska State Teachers Association District num ber one, met yesterday at the Coli seum for the first day of their an nual convention. A large number of teachers were present, probably num bering more than 4,500. The program was opened with se lections by the Lincoln High School orchestra and chorus. The morning talks were made by governor Adam McMullen; Dallas Lore Sharp, author and teacher; Cameron T. Beck, per sonnel director of the New York Stock exchange; and M. C. Lefler, superintendent of the Lincoln schools. Dallas Lore Sharp Speaks Mr. Sharp spoke on "Five Days in Education." His text was as fol lows: "And the school people brought the child to the high priests, and the chief priest said, 'What shall I do with this child?' and they all cried, 'Classify him. Classify him', and he was turned over for measurement tests." In his talk, Mr. Sharp plead ed throughout for the doing away with intelligence tests and other forms of standardizing the school child. "You can't reduce human nature to any set of figures." "Has education been reduced to beginning with a semi-colon and end ing with a period?" Criticises Intelligence Tuts He spoke of the increase in school facilities since he had acquired his learning. He asked if the children of today were any better educated in a three million dollar schoolhouse than in the old little red schoolhouse. "The intelligence tester' stated Mr. Sharp, "would put me down as a moron, but thank God, I entered college before Columbia invented their moron machines." He recalled only five days in educa tion which had had any permanent effect on his life. The first was the time he had acquired a nature book. The second was one of investigation, from a botany course. The third day was wonder, so caused by a scientist, from whom he learned bird life. The fourth gave him power, and the fifth .showed him his true course in life. Speaks on "Oar Nebraska" Gov. McMullen gave an address, the subject of which, "Our Nebras ka" he had found during his travels in the state. School teachers, he (Continued on Page Three.)

Clean-up Campaign Started Th drive committee is at work now correcting addresses which were found in accurate and in planning the final drive.

(Continued on Page Three.) Lieutenant Benter, Band, is Youngest of Bandmasters Apprentice, bandmaster at twenty years of age, organizer of the United States Navy Band at twenty-nine that is the story of Lieutenant Char les Benter, director of the navy band which will appear in concert at the University Coliseum Saturday niht under the auspices of the University of Nebraska. Prior to 1916, there were three naval bands in Washington a civil ian organization at the navy yard and the shin bands of the Mayflower and the Dolphin. 'When the U. S. S. Kan sas was ordered out of commission and its sixteen-piece band consoli dated with the two ship bands, the civilian organization passing out of existence. At the end of the world war, ex piring enlistments had depleted the ranks of the musicians in these two bands until there were but eighteen men left. It was decided that a navy band of real moment should be or ganized at once. In the service was a youth who had enlisted as an apprentice when a mere boy. and in a few years, at the age of twenty, had won his chevrons as bandmaster of the U. S. S. Con necticut, the youngest man in the tavy to attain such a post. This man. Lieutenant Charles Ben ter, was ordered to Washington and .old to organize a navy band. He began by getting higher ratings and ..lowances for bandsmen, and then Parted a recruiting tour. Picking the best musicians he could find. Lieut. Benter, by 1923, had brouhgt the personnel up to sixty- even, the limit set by the navy de partment. He then began weeding out men of lim.ted ability, and replacing them with better ones. The weeding-out process brought the band to a state of efficiency here naval officials felt that it was entitled to a definite status as "The" band of the United States navy, a distinction that was conferred on l't by act of congress, March 4, 192 j, the first bill signed by President Coolidge after his inauguration in his own right The law also designated Lieut Benter as leader of the band, giving him the pay and allowance of a lieu tenant in the navy. " Today Lieut Benter is ranked with the foremost bandmasters of the Freshmen Will Hold Rally Tonight For Kansas Aggie Game The first Freshman rally ever staged at Nebraska will take place tonight at the Armory at 7:15 for the Nebraska Freshman-Kansas Ag gie Freshman football game.

A god turnout of "Green-caps" is expected. Support is needed especial ly from the first-year girls. The Cornhusker yearlings, are ready for the battle, and the indica tions are that the chances for either team to win are excellent. Y.W.C.A.DRIYE MOVING SLOWLY Campaign Extended in Effort To Raise Final $1150 Of $1800 Goal CLARK'S , TEAM IN LEAD With only fcur more days to go, the University Y. W. C. A. Finance Drive still lacks SUbl of its $isnj goal. The ainout.t taken in up to yes terday evening was slightly over $650.00 and fell far short of the teams' expec:tv:'-n "I attr th '" sum to the fact that the team irembers havo not been urged to meet the girls a? soon as possible. The Finance Committee extended the usual drive period of three days to a week in order that a more personal soticitiM n could be made. Instead I believe thnt some of the team workers have net begun to work at all and are leaving their in terviewing until the we'k-erd They do not realize that two-thirds of our goal should be reached by Friday night if we are to go over the top," was the statement made by Eloise MacAhan who is in charge of the Finance Drive. $205.40 Raised on Ag.

Nov. 4 Speaking before the Nebraska State Teachers Association here today, Dr. F. A. Stuff of the University of Nebraska declared that the task of the master novelist in the field of creative fic tion is to "present consciousness con cretely and by implication develop a forming and sustaining criticism of life." The subject of Dr. Stuff's address was "The Cultural Value of Creative Fiction." "Speaking broadly," he said, "the genesis of culture is found in the ftudy of the evolution of ideals or senses of the soul. Consequently, culture is an unfolding of sensibility characterized by certain aspects. The culture of our times is evinced by such aspects or elements of power as sincerity, simplicity, breadth and depth of life expressed with human izing humor. "Need Criticism of Life" "These aspects of culture reveal' not only manners but the conscious ness out of which manners proceed. Moreover, no matter how noble and worthy the consciousness that per sonalizes the culture of the times may be, there is always the need of its modification by a noble and worthy criticism of life. Such criti cism is potential in literature of power." Dr. Stuff quoted from the pre face of "The Nigger of the Narcis sus," by Joseph Conrad, as follows: "My task ;liich I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the writ ten word to make you hear, to make you feel it is, before all, to make you see. That and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed ,yon shall find there according to your deserts: encouragment, consolation, fear, charm all yon demand and, per haps also, that glimpse of truth for (Continued on Page Three.) Plans Completed For Bizad Dance, Banquet Plans have been completed for the annual Bizad banquet and dance which will be held Friday night at the Chamber of Commerce. The Cheerleaders orchestra will furnish the music. Entertainment has been promised for intermission by the committee. The dance is open to all friends of Bizads and tickets may be secured from the committees or at the tables in Social Science. CARNIVAL DANCE PLANS COMPLETE Committee Chairmen Report All Entertainment Is Arranged The final plans for the Military Carnival Dance were submitted to Scabbard and Blade last evening by the committees. The decorations committee under Arthur Breyer has completed all plans and are ready to install the decorations as soon as the coliseum is clear. The Cheerleaders will furnish the music with nine pieces. This is one of the best orchestras that could be secured in Lincqln and is preparing special performances for that eve ning. They have lots of pep and will help the party to be the livest one that has ever been held and the best one in th city that evening. Pershing Rifle. Will Drill Due to the unusual number of fraternity and sorority parties the thirteenth, the committee has pro vided unusual attractions that will draw from the parties. All should plan to be there at least part of the evening and certainly at intermis sion at ten-thirty to enjoy the exhl bition to be put on by the members of The Pershing Rifles. There will be other attractions also at that time which will be worth seeing. The older alumni will not care to attend private parties as they know so few of the younger people. For this reason the carnival dance has been planned so that it will entertain them as well as the students. None should miss this party and if any can not attend during the entire evening, they should at least make an attempt to enjoy part of the evening there where they will not be restricted to being nice to certain hosts and can let joy be "unrefined". LEE MADE HEAD OF NATIONAL SOCIETY Women's National Physical Education Organization Selects Miss Lee For its President Word was received today by the University of Nebraska of the elec tion of Miss Mabel Lee, director of the department of physical education for women at the University, as the new national president of the Society of Directors of Physical Education for Women in Colleges and Univer sities.

First Concert in Coliseum The concert tomorrow night is the first of its kind ever staged in the new Coliseum. It is the initial step on the part of the university officials to bring to the campus entertainment of the highest calibre for the benefit particularly of university students. The attendance of students at the Saturday night concert will be the criterion by which the university will determine whether it is advisable to attempt to bring other musical talent of similar nature to the campus. The concert will start at 8:15. Program for the Concert The program announced by Lieut. Benter follows: Overture, "Oberon" Carl Von Weber "A Soldier's Dream" (cornet solo) Walter B.

All junior and senior sit tings must be taken by that date, ac cording to W. F. Jones, Jr., editor of the annual, and students who de sire appointments after that day will be disappointed. Pictures may be tak en at either Townsend's or Hauck's studio. Many students desire to use their last year's photograph. This may be done by going to the studio where they had the picture taken and ar range with them by paying an extra assessment for the work involved in making an extra print and including it on a new panel. Appointments Have Been Slow Appointments have been a large number less than last year, and five or six hundred upperclassmen must be photoed this next week. This will mean a rush for both studios, and as many as can should appear at one of the two studios today or tomor row. They can make their appoint ment by phone or in person. L "Every year there are many who put the time of their picture off un til it is too late," said the editor yes terday, "and they are then disap pointed when they cannot get into the senior or junior panel. This next week is the last week that they can make a date for a picture, as the panels must be made up and the studios roust attend to their own Christmas rush. After this week up perclassmen will not have a chance to have their junior or senior picture in the book." Prostata!
