The Teacher
Interprets Rest'arch
Delivered by W. H. Morton, chairman
of the depurtment of secondary education
before the American Dairy Science asso
ciation. June 23, 1937.)
Recently the faculty of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania were
asked this question: "If you could
select out of all the history of the
world and from any field of
knowledge and work, ten individ
uals to add to the faculty of this
university, what teachers would
you select?
Three hundred names were sug
gested and from this list the fol
lowing ten names received the
highest votes: Aristotle, Socrates,
Newton, Plato, Darwin, Pasteur,
Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Galileo, and
Einstein. This imposing list re
veals that the ideal educator is not
only a transmitter of knowledge
but also one who discovers it.
Progress of the human race has
been accomplished through the
discovery of new and better ways
of doing things and also through
passing on to each generation the
best of the races' experiences as
learned through trial and error or
through planned experiment.
The master teachers of all time
have always been those who not
only passed o; to their students
the heritage of the human race
but were themselves imbued with
enthusiasm and zeal in their own
search for new knowledge.
The great teacher sees in his
students the opportunity of pro
jecting his own ideas into the fu
ture and thus definitely influenc
ing the destiny of civilization. But
much more than this he sees the
need for the discovery of truth
and thus devotes much of his time
and energy t the problems of re
search. This process of discovering new
knowledge has been going on ever
since the appearance of man.
Much of it has been accidental and
the processes have been slow. But
gradually better ways of finding
new truths have been found and
today the research worker em
ployes technical and involved tools
to carry on his studies.
He speaks of measures of cen
tral tendency, of variability, of
relative position, probability, par
tial and multiple correlation, de
viation, probable error, the Pear
son product moment co-efficient
of correlation, validity, reliability,
and on and on in the use of new
terminology of his art
It follows from this that the re
search worker must be a teacher
if his newly discovered ideas are
to be understood and made use of
in a practical world. The results
of his careful experiments must be
clearly explained to the students
of his classroom or others whom
he may contact.
His task now is not to discover
new truth but to get others to
think and to understand what has
been found and eventually to make
use of these ideps in the world of
practical things. The old saying
that "some people want to sit and

k
think, but that most of them just
want to sit" is altogether too
true. But the task is not hope
less. The basic stimulus for think
ing is interest. To develop this
then is the first task of the re
search worker when he assumes
the role of teacher. It is not
enough that he has discovered the
truth himself. Neither is it suffi
cient for him to say that he will
reveal this truth to his class and
have no concern whether they
learn it or not. If interest is the
first essential for good thinking
then it becomes his task to so
present his materials that a keen
and genuine interest will be gen
erated in his pupils.
His nt.:t problem is to present
his material in such clear and sim
ple language that those seeking
information may gain a clear un
derstanding of all questions in
volved. But this is not all for many a
person has an interest in a prob
lem and understands all about it
and yet nothing happens in the
way of action. So the third im
portant task facing the teacher is
to set up those drives within the
learner so that he will go out and
make use of his newly found
knowledge.
All this applied to the dairy as
sociation simply means that re
search alone will not improve con
ditions in the dairy industry.
There is much information locked
in technical reports. The real
problem is to have this material
so taught to the farmer and
dairyman that he will be inter
ested in it, thoroughly understand
it, and then be fired with a genu
ine desire to do something about
it

In addition to conferences and ad

for an interesting series of dem

DR. BELL TO HAVE WPA

Archaeological Work Along
Niobrara Valley to
Be Continued.
Dr. Earl H. Bell, assistant pro
fessor of anthropology at the uni
iversity, announced recently that
he will have a WPA crew of twen
ty men to assist him in this sum
mer's archaeological survey along
the Niobrara valley in northeast
ern Nebraska. In addition to his
WPA help he is also using six stu
dent scientists who will act more
or less in supervisory capacity.
Dr. Bell left Lincoln re
cently for Norfolk where he
will go over his summer plans with
WPA officials there. He also ex
pects to visit a new site called to
his attention by J. P. O'Furey,
Hartington editor. The uni
versity anthropologist' expects
pects to have three groups in the
field, two to be working in the
vicinity of Verdel, which will be
Bell's headquartcis, and one prob
ably in the vicinity of Pishelville
Bridge. Parties around Verdel will
be working on historic Ponca ma
terial, while the Pishelville site is
expected to divulge information
concerning the Bassett culture, an
unknown civilization that perhaps
is younger than that found around
Lynch last summer but older than
the Ponca culture.
Continue Work Near Lynch.
"Our problem this summer," said
Dr. Bell, "is far more important
than it was a year ago. Last year
we were able to obtain a general
picture of the cultural stratigraphy
of the Niobrara valley. Korty
eight sites were located by the end
of last summer and since then
several more have been reported
to us. These sites belong to pos
sibly five distinct cultures.
"By the end of this summer we
hope to learn the complete content
of these various cultures and their
time relationship. We intend, of
course, to continue our work in
the Lynch vicinity."
Bell and his party expect to be
in the field for at least nine weeks.
Students with him this year are

and George Wilcox, Lincoln. It
was Wilcox who called the Lynch
site to the attention of the scien
tific world early last spring. Wil
cox, Newell and Wimberly were
with Bell last summer, Angelino
joins the contingency from the
University of the City of New
York.
During the past year much of
the Lynch material has been
studied in the laboratory at the
university, while samples of the
vegetal remains were examined by
Michigan authorities. Soil samples
were made by government scient
ists. Two of the country's eminent
authorities in the field spent con
siderable time here going over the
material and taking notes on its
relationship and significance. Cul
minating the year's archaeologi
cal work at the university is Dr.
Bell's new book "Chapters in Ne
braska Archaeology" which has
just been published. It is a de
tailed account of the findings of
the Nebraska Archaelogical Sur
vey from 1931 to 1934 inclusive
and furnishes a background of the
development of this branch of the
social sciences here in the state.

the University of Nebraska.
The school of music director has
always been interested In high
school music and it was with great
interest that he watched the de
velopment of the Interlocken,
Mich., national music camp. Here
every year hundreds of talented
young people from all over the
country gather to further their
musical education. A few years
ago Mr. Kirkpatrick Instigated a
similar institution in the univer
sity school of music.
Mr. Krkpatrlck said that the in
structors of this course had ex
pressed the opinion that this was
perhaps the most interesting
group of young people that has
gathered here so far.
At 10 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, the first concert of the all
state high school music course
will be held at the Temple theater.
Here the most talented young peo
ple of the state will take part in
a musical program. Everyone is
urged to attend.
