Growth of State Teachers Association
Is Pictured; Convention Plans Begun
Sixty-six years ago this coming I
October, a goodly number of Ne
braska teachers boarded a Mis
souri river steamboat which car
ried them to Brownville for the
first teachers' convention ever
held in the state.
During the forenoon or the fol
lowing day those forty-six edu
cators attending the first meeting
organized the Nebraska State
Teachers' association and prepared
a program for the afternoon and
evening.
Year after year smce then, with
but one exception in 1918, the
year of the flu this conference
has been held, until it has become
the largest convention in the state.
No longer is it possible to complete
plans for the convention program
In half a day. Indeed, the last
speaker on a convention program
has scarcely finished his address
before arrangements are begun
for the next year's conference.

SORORITY PRICE
FIXING DELAYED
UNTILTIHS FALL
At a recent meeting of the ti
nancial secretaries on the advisory
boards of the largest sororities on
the campus, it was agreed that thJ
exact amounts of house bills for
thvi coming fall not be fixed until
the last possible moment.
The variation in prices has made
it impossible to determine at the
present time just what it will take
to run a Greek letter house on a
paying basis lor the year 1933-31.
a he monthly house bills sent to
the members of most of the soro
ri'.ies during this past year aver
aged about $2.50 lower than those
of the preceding year; and there
h,i h.vn a reduction of almost the
same amount from the year befon;
that.
Unless thre are radical changea
made in the pi ices of commouitie s,
however, the house bills for th'.s
coming year will not be raised, it
was generally agreed at the meet

State Teachers' association con
vention last year.
On October Z5 to 28 or tnis year
the association will stage its sixty
fifth annual convention or rather
conventions, for the teaching
population in Nebraska has grown
so large that since 1920. in order
to bring the benefits of the meet
ing to as many teachers as possi
ble, there have been held each year
six district conventions in deffer
ent Tarts of the state.
Thus every teacher, irrespective
of how remotely situated in his lit
tle school, has the opoprtunity to
Tnwfir from the most recent educa
tional developments as interpreted
by the leading educators of the
entire state. Convention cities for

Fred Ballard's "The Golden
Goose" was performed Tuesday
evening, July 18, in the Temple
theater with the success that has
come to be recognized as an in
evitable characteristic oi ue uni
versity Players' productions.
This, the second of the plays of
Fred Ballard to be given here, was
a world premier in that it was the
first time it has ever been pre
sented on any stage. It was given
to the University Players, as was
"Ladies o fthe Jury," presented
here two years ago, by the author
free of all royalty charges.
Clara Christensen enacted the
leading role with a smoothness of
technique and a comic touch that
was almost professional in its fin
ish. The mechanics of the play it
self, however, were a disappoint
ment. There was none of the sub
tlety and clever charm wnich char
acterized "Ladies of the Jury," and
the construction and handling fell
far below the calibre of work ex
