lae.s College Address
Convention.
The convention of the Central Commer
cla' Teachers' association, meeting In
Hoyles college, elected ofllcert yesterday
afternoon aa follows:
President A. W. Dudley of Des Moines.
Vlre President E. A. Potter of Omaha.
Secretary F. A. Keefover of Cedar Rap
Ids. ,
T.-easurer Miss Van 8ant of Omaha.
It wag decided to hold the 1906 convention
In Des Moines the Thursday. Friday and
Saturday next preceding May 15. Des
Moines, Mollne, Iowa City, Kansas City
and Omaha were candidates. Closing ses
sions of the present meeting will be held
this afternoon, when Edward Rosewater
wilt make an address.
The -feature of Thursday's sessions waa
the paper by Rev. M. J. O'Connor, vice
president of Crelghton university, on "Fsy
rhology and Its Relation to Teaching." The
stress he placed upon moral Instruction and
ethical training awoke a lot of discussion
among the teachers and they all sided with
Father O'Connor. It was Informally agreed
that, though It Is Impractical to try to
teach adequately subjects of this character
In the short business college courses, yet
that all educators should try to Impress by
precept and example all possible toward
the Inspiration of character. A number of
the delegates testified that a considerable,
effort lias been made along these lines. The
sentiment expressed coincided with the
words of E. A. Potter of the Omaha High
school, who declared that "the crying need
in the buKlness world Is for honesty.
Wherever yon go you hear constantly re-
peated the. one word, 'graft, graft, graft
father O'Connor's Address.
In part Rev. Mr. O'Connor aald:
s ur living in an age ol school re
forms and peuagogical experiments. An
educational system luted in every detail
10 uu limes and all nations Is an im
lio.siuiuty.' An educational system must
aim. not at' educating men In general, but
at. educating tiie youih of a certain age in
a certain cuunlry. Hence the necessity of
. changes and developments. Education is
f voinetliing living and must grow, otherwise
I it will soon wltner and decay. There are,
however, certain fundamental principles,
l isriain nroau outlines or education, inuei
.n sound philosophy and the experience
of centuries, which suffer no change. Un
fortunately t Is somo of these principles
wnicn nave neon aoanuonea uy gomu mod
cm pedagogues, and It is fur this reason
that many "school reforms" of these days
bave proved mere "school changes."
To meet the urgent demand lor a ra
tional psychology upon which to base a
systematized education, there has arisen
a band of deeply earnest thinkers, who.
going beyond the study of perception. re
liactlnn, Judgment, etc., are l mixing tne
r viif II i it in ill lilt? wiiuiti jjii "I'li.iiii,. inn
merely the Intellect. They state the end
of education as a training, not to get a
living, but to live; as an effort to put the
jhlld In complete possession id all ills
powers; to solve and to perfect the whiilo
Icope of his facilities; to furnish him with
I, complete preparation for life as a whole;
lo mako him a dynamic personality; to
inable him to adjust himself to civilization
In which he finds himself and the universe
f which he Is a part.
We have Concentrated all our attention
.in (he.. Intellect. OrudainKly. If at all. we
lo'd -some -little place for the mainspring
if human action, the will, the heart, the
sentiments, the. emotions. May we not
lore lay our finger upon the cause of the
widespread disappointment In the result
vt modern education?
Our clever, smart men are not all good
men We must recognize a philosophy of
the heart whlrh underlies that of the head.
The feelings are. mighty factors behind the
will 4nd aotiori.
Teachers' have need to comprehend the
truths that cannot develop men and
women with abiding characters of moral
nnd sterling Integrity, characters which will
withstand the storm and stress of real
everyday life, by any process of veneer'.ng
through the nr-re influence of Improved
surroundings These are of value, no doubt,
and will be greatly helpful, but true, perma
nent character piust have Its roots within.
In the power of choice, in self-determination.
In conscious personal effort. The child
must feel that he caieyo something toward
his own elevation find improvement and
that consequently he ought to do some
thing. The psychology that fails to do this
has no place in a school. One of whose pri
mary functions is the development and up
building of character.
M. O. Rohrbough, president of the Omaha
Commercial college, In a paper discussing
the advisability of commercial schools em
ploying solicitors, decided strongly In the
negative. J. E. Freed of Bellevue college
poke on bookkeeping, and John R. Gregg
f Chicago on shorthand penmanship.
. Boyles on Advertising.
Second only In Interest to Father O'Con
nor's paper was one by II. It. Boyles about
School advertising. Mr. "Boyles said:

t get It.
A few business colleges may be so de
lightfully situated that they don't have to
ask for patronage. They have the capacity
and the desire for few pupils and those few
come to them without the asking. They are
old well established everybody knows
them.
Some other business college men look
upon advertising aa did the small boy who
M when asked by his mother if he was not
M going to say his prayers that night said:
"Nope, I didn't say 'em last night and
w nothln' happened; and If nothln' happens
tonight Im not goln to say era any more
at all. -But mamma saw that something
did hat pen.
- Bo long as nothing happens these busi
ness college men are not going to advertise.
And they are the very best kind of competi
tors that the hustling business college man
' who will advertise can have.
Tbere are a lot of business colleges get
ting along fairly well today making a liv
ing for their proprietors which could be
transformed Into much more profitable in
stitutions by the aid of persistent advertis
ing Advertising increases the patronage of a
business college by reason of the fact that
it increases knowledge of both the general
advantages of commercial training and the
special advantages enjoyed by the pupils of
your school.
Advertising will not only Increase the at
tendance, but it will increase your prestige
among the business men of your com
munity. It creates a demand for your graduates.
It helps you because it increases your
attendance it helps your pupils because
It aids them to securo the right kind of
dos It Ions it heirs the business men of your
ccmmunlty because It aids them In securing
awsy. In the rsln and sleet ratrirk con

thinking of burglars, he went down and
peered out cautiously. There stood Patrick,
'overeci with snow and sicei. vtnist: it s

The attendance at the business colleges
of this state has Increased over J"0 per
cent In the last live years and statistics can
be (urnlPhed to prove that during the past
Ave years all competent graduates of busi
ness colleges have been given employment.
To my mind there can ! no more positive
demonstration of the fact that the advertis
ing of the advantages of business college
education In general and the one particular
nusiness college one Is promoting In partic
ular, not only attracts the attention of tne
young people, but the business and com
mercial world as well, than this. The buxl
liess colleges of Omaha have been empha
sizing their legitimate advantages through
tne advertising columns of the newspapers
by telling Just what Is taught In the busl
ness colleges, Just how thoroughly sound
business principles are Inculcated In the
minds of their pupils. These business col
leges have not only convinced more young
people that business offers the most to the
most today, out nave shown nusiness men
that pupils thus educated are Just the very
best kind of business help that the hard
headed business man can have around his
office.
The colleges have nolnted out through
the advertising columns of the newspapers
that the notion that young ladles aro mo
nopolizing the stenographic held is en
tirely erroneous and that there is con
stant and never-satlsned demand for
young men stenographers, has interested
more and more young men In the study of
shorthand and tvpewrltlng. Thev have
nolnted out the fact that when the boy
who Is not a stenographer enters the busl
ness nouse, no matter now origin ne may
be or how well educated. If he has not
had actual business college training he
usually has to enter the business as an
office clerk at about $5 or W a week, from
which position his progress upward, be
cause of the few chances offered him. Is
one of painful slowness. They have par
alleled that with the truth that the boy

the rlvht kind of office help.
The right kind of advertising advertising
that is absolutely and unqualifiedly truth
ful in every detail advertising that is
backed by the right kind of Instructors and
courses and college methods will help any
business college to build up in any com
munity he habit of attending that partic
ular business college which is being adver
tised, as well as building up within the
business community the habit of apply
ing to that particular business college when
office assistants are needed.
And that habit Is certainly a most
powerful thing is proved bv the story of
Patrick Hennessy's pipe. Patrick had a
great fondness for the O'Rourkes of Clay
township, who came from the same county
in Ireland. One night last winter when
Patrick was calling upon them there came
up a terrible storm and at he O'Rourke's

he is in constant and direct touch with
.he head of the firm or the head of the
department and the brains, Ideas, ex
perience and knowledge or hsrd-headed
successful business men flow through his
fingers every hour of the day. They have
pointed out how the boy. newly graduated
from a business college secures a position
with a concern which has applied to that
particular business college for a competent
stenographer. He starts In on his new
position and by reason of the practical
training and thorough discipline of that
business college from which he has grad
uated he performs his duties with such
fidelity, neatress and all around satisfac
tion that he quickly earns promotion and
a higher salary. It Is only natural that
daily contact with his experienced em
ployer will soon give that young man a
knowledge of the entire business that will
make him competent of filling the position
of the head of the department under whom
he Is working.
Encouraging talks of this sort d UJ" being
printed In papers like The Onr'hl) Hoe,
Omaha World-Herald and Dally N-a can
not fall to have a wonderful effect u.ion the
readers of those ads, whether the leader be
a business man or prospective pupil of a
business college. This happy result can
not be, however, brought about by the
aid of pointless, colorless, spasmodic ad
vertising. You have got to make people
realize that voii are advertising before
on begin to Impress them with your ad
vertising. Vou can't expect to take "the little sign
I hat hangs above the door" and transform
it to the newspaper advertising columns
and expect that It will pull like a porous
plaster and show fruit like a California
land prospectus. Don't exrect that the
newspaper Is going to do it all. Don t
tiilnk mat you can put this "card" Into
the newspapers, then sit down and foid
your hands and let the public "do the
rest." Don't gel the Idea that the eager,
panting public will work and sufTer until
U gets ail the facts about you college by
lis own researches and will take the why
of attending your particular college for
granted.
The dear. Kind, obliging pumic aoesn t
do anything of the kind.
No advertising creates the right Impres
sion that creates only a pnssing effect
and often "keeping everlastingly at it"
will everlastingly fail to bring results, un
less your advertising contains some real
reason whv the reader should not only
adopt business for a career, but gain the
training lor business at your particular
business college.
I am not endeavoring to point out any
particular style of advertlstlng, that I be
lieve will solve all your problems. Each
school has Its own merits to be outlined
and each college would probably prefer to
follow Its own course. However, it is
well to remember that the object of thai
newsoaDer ad-clrcular-malllng-card-toiuer
booklet or catalogue which you are to is
sue is to (JET bhK.-UK KtAII-lifcl
RELIEVED AND GET THE READER
Tfl DO SOMETHING. Proper display
and attractive illustrations will get the
ads soon. Enticing head lines, plus the
aforementloni-d illustrations, will secure I
reading tor the ads. Plain pointed argu
ments couched In convincinK wording will
compel conviction. An Invitation to write
In lor a catalogue or call will get the
reader to do the first something necessary
to enroll that person amona your pupils.
As a "follow up" of the requests for cata
logues for the purpose of stirring up iag-
alna prospective pupils, there can be no
objection and there are many arguments In
in or nf nersonal solicitation. It is my
opinion, however, that your solicitors should
be carefully instructed lo Keep ineir nanus
off students who are In attendance In the
tiuhllo schools. It is a mistake for the com
merclal school to attempt to rob young peo-
ii e of the common school education pro
vlded for them. Outside of common falr-
neN In the miblin school student. It Is well
to consider that the business college will
secure better results from a student by al
lowing that student to continue his public
school studies until he Is through with
them. This plan will give business col
leges very much better timber to work upon
and he of great assistance to them in pro
ducing the very highest grade or graduates,
than which there can ne no belter advertis.
ing for a business college. It has always
been the opinion of the management Of
Hoyles' college that the solicitor should be
Instructed to can only upon regular pros
pectlves, that. Is. young people who are
Known bv the school management to ne in
terested in commercial education, but who
may be deferring their entrance by neglect
or the "putting off" habit. A personal so
licitation at tins time and in tnia case
simply aids the student to come to a deci
sion, which Is doubtless granting a favor
to the hesitating one.
A talk that an advertised school does not
"make good" Is all nonsense. No sane man
or corporation will spend hundreds and
thousands of dollars advertising a school
and yet fail to spend other thousands of
dollars yearly for the very best grade of
instructors and equipment to hack up the
claims made In that advertising. Adver
tising is the first proof of a business col
lege s proficiency. Nothing brings out the
defects so quickly as the glaring limelight
if publicity.
Any school that advertises extensively
any length of time and fails to "make
gixvi" will certainly go into bankruptcy.
The business college that cannot withstand
a searching investigation of its methods
better beware of advertising. It Is a two
edged sword that will surely cut the user
if he does not handle It carefully.
It Is as clear us day that the business
college man who creates, by and through
t lie force of advertising, a demand for the
education of two or more people where one
was In demand before has twice as much or
more monev for teachers anil equipment
and incidental talks In business than he who
sits Iwck and says that "advertising does
not pay ' or that "some schools spend all
their money for advertising and none for
teachers and equipment."
Advertising without worth Is a monu
mental failure In the business college line,
hut worth without advertising nevr will
reap the regard that worth Justly deserves.
.Merit maaes a gooa foundation but It s the
cupola that ati ks up. that attracts atten
tion. In this case advertising Is the cupola
the something that attracts attention to
the foundation of merit.
In addition to being founded on merit,
your advertising must have truth for a
corner-stone. Vou ran t afford to advertise
a tning mat you do not expect to do. You
can't afford to advertise to do a thlr.u ' ..it
others know you can t afford to do. o.i
can fool nobody that Is worth having as a
student. If you make Improbable, wild
eyed assertions in your ads, the ultimate
result Is that people will cease to have con
fidence in your advertising, and then cease
to read them. When advertising doesn't
receive attention it it because it doesn't de
serve attention.
In conclusion, let me urge you not to
"think over" this too long. Just apply to
yourself the story of the newly landed Ger
man who, although he knew nothing about
the care of or management of horses, se
cured a position aa a teamster.
The first time he mounted behind the
horse he felt called upon to give out some
sort of a starting signal. Not being fa
miliar with the ordinary cluck, or the
"G'wan" or "Get up" used under the cir
cumstances, he picked up the lines and
sava. Veil, commence!"
There's a fall term not so very far off
The advertising for that fall term must be
Inaugurated now. Take a hint from the
Old oerman:
"Veil, commence!"
South Omaha police headquarters look
like a Junk shop, and all on account of tho
airt of a man giving his name as Bchmldt.
The name Is bogus, but it will go as far as
present police records are concerned.
After the raid was made on the gchmldt
dwelling In the southwest part of the city
and a large quantity of stolen goods recov
ered, Schmidt was arrested nnd put In the
sweatbox. I'nder the process the prisoner
told where he had secured most of the
plunder. Some of his stealings were daring
In the extreme, especially where ho took a
screwdriver and lifted a new door from a
building going up at Twenty-fourth and Q
streets. The screen doors stolen were taken
from places where new screens had Just
been placed. Carpenter tools galore are on
exhibition at police headquarters. Some
bear the engraved names of well known
carpenters and others are without mark.
Schmidt has broken down entirely and Is
telling all he knows and then some. Just
as long as he is in a talkative humor the
police officials keep after him. Schmidt ad
mits that he has been carrying on his dep
redations for a number of months and that
he has sold some of the stolen property.
Home of the bags of soap recovered were
stolen from Cudahy's, and one sack from
the Millard hotel.
The prisoner does not give any reason for
stealing, but says that petty thieving Is a
mania with him and that he cannot over
come the habit. Complaints are to be filed
against Schmidt today, charging petit and
grand larceny and breaking and entering,
and the police here think that there will bo
one less crook loose when this man Is sent
to the county Jail for safe keeping.
FltsRoberts Wants Position.
John FitiRoberts Is using every effort
possible to secure for himself the position
on the Roard of Education made vacant by
the death of J. C. Knight. It was at the in
stigation of Roberts that the so-called mass
meeting held Wednesday night was called,
the expectation being that he would Je sug
gested as the only possible candidate for
the position. Dr. Schlndel and Dana Mor
rill stated most positively Thursday that
they would never vote for Roberts. It
seems to be the Idea of Morrill and Schln
del to run along until another member is
elected and not to name anyone that is
very anxious for the position to fill the va
cancy. Dana Morrill does not hesitate
when he soys that he will not vote for a
democrat, and Dr. Schlndel did not stutter
yesterday when he made the statement to
Roe reporter that he would never vote
for Roberts. From the present outlook It
appears as If four members will constitute
the board until the election by the people
of another member.
In respect to vacancies on the board, the
school law provides: "Any vacancy In the
board shall be filled by a majority of the
board, the vote being by ballot, but at only
a regular meeting. In case a member of
the board having an unexpired term of
more than one year, shall leave a vacancy
at a time more than ten days previous to
the annual school election, the vacancy
shall be filled at the said election, the bal
lots and returns being designated, 'To fill
unexpired term.' "
There seems to be nothing In the school
laws compelling the Board of Education to
fill the vacancy If it docs not see fit to
do so.
Goes to Kearney Normal School,
Mrs. H. C. Richmond has been elected
supervisor of music at the new state
normal school at Kearney, Neb. A tele
gram was received by Mrs. Richmond yes
terday announcing to her that she had
been chosen to take charge of the musical
course. Mrs. Richmond Is one of the well
known singers and musicians In this city
and her many friends are congratulating
her on her election to a more Important
position than teaching music In the South
Omaha schools. Mrs. Richmond has been
identified with the South Omaha schools
for about eleven years and for seven years
has been In charge of music classes here.
Pupils of music in the public schools here
have already expressed regret at her leav
ing South Omaha, but wish her well In her
new field of labor. While Mrs. Richmond
will not take full charge of the work at
the Kearney school until fall, the expecta
tion Is that she will attend the summer
term snd have charge of the musle classes
usually conducted during the summer vacation.
Mast Secnre Permits.
Rulldlng Inspector Wlnegard has sent a
communication to the Roard of Education
notifying It that permits must be secured
for the new buildings to be erected this
year. For some time past the school dis
trict has been allowed to make additions
to school houses or erect new buildings
without the formality of taking out a per
mit. Inspector Wlnegard declares that this
Is not right, as he wants a record of all
improvf ments made In the city and that
the school district will be compelled to
take out permlis the same as Individuals
or corporations. The same fee will be
charged the school district this year as
has been In force for a number of years.
About JTS.onO In new buildings have been
contracted for and the cost of permits will
not be to exceed $.

BIDWELL EXPLODES RUMOR
General Manner Saya There Is moth
Ing In "tory of North western's
Removal to Fremont.
According to the Fremont papers that
town Is all stirred up over the prospects
that the Northwestern will move the di
vision headquarters from Norfolk to
Fremont. Several reasons are given by
the Fremont papers as the foundation for
their beliefs, the principal one of which
are the building of a new round house and
a desire to fight the Great Northern. It
also was stated that a number of high
officials of the road from Chicago and
Omaha, as well as local division men, were
there and discussed the matter at consider
able length. The claim is made that the
operation of the system never has been
as satisfactory as when the headquarters
were located at Fremont.
General Manager Bldwell exploded the
wnoie clream when he suid there was noth
ing whatever to It. lie said the officials
who were spoken of as being at Fremont
Sunday were the car accountant and others
investigating the needs for cars.

How to Work It." by t. 8. Harrison,
president of the Nebraska Park and Forest
society, has Just been published by Webb
Publishing company. For over thirty
years Mr. Harrison has been hard at work
along horticultural lines In Nebraska,
spending several years under the lonth
meridian In experimental work at Frank
lin. Western conditions are pecullsr. Many
things which do well In the east are ab
solutely worthless In the west. Mr. Harri
son has spent thousands of dollars finding
out what could be done In Nebraska, and
these experiments are among the valuable
assets of the state. He has spent much
time among the rarks and finest estates
of the east and enjoys the acquaintance of
the foremost nurserymen of the country.
He Is no parlor knight, but has wrought
out these hard problems with the toll of
hand and brain.
As the result of these long years of care
ful experimenting, he gives the results In
the work mentioned. The honk Is beauti
fully bound and finely illustrated. It has
2S0 pages packed full of valuable Informa
tion." With this, tho average Nebraska
farmer can easily add $1,000 to his farm by
fixing up his front yard. If he does this,
his neighbors will follow suit and so the
book should add thousands to the value
of Nebraska homes,
"Thoughts In Prose and Rhyme." by R.
H. Iingford of North Platte, Neb., 310
pages octavo, Is a collection of verse and
sentiment which Is at least worthv of
reading once, nnd some of the verses will
bear more than one reading. One feature
of the book Is an account said by the
author to be published for the first time
of the controversy between United 6tates
army officers previous to the embarkation
of late prisoners of war on the 111 fated
steamboat "Sultana," which blew up at
Memphis at the close of the civil war.
The thoughts In tho poems are grave and
gay, profound and light. An Idea of the
former may be gained from these lines,
taken from ' The Coming Morn:"
When all torn and bruised and mangled In
the worlds uneven fight;
When denounced, abused, heralded for de
fending truth and right;
When false criticisms crush us and we
hasten to our doom
Will the coming of the morning dispense
the gathering gloom?
"A Courier of Fortune," by Arthur W.
Marchmers (Frederick A. Htokes company,
New York), Is a book filled with adven
ture, love hatred and surprises, well
written and full of Interest for those who
delight In action rather than thought. The
characters live In the days when France
was distracted with petty strifes of feudal
barons and the arm of the ruler was too
short to reach to the borders of his do
main at all times. It Is one of these at
tempts to curb the greed of a subject
which gives the occasion for tho story.

The first chapters of Booth Tarklngton's
new novel a strong and human American
story of the best type open the June num.
ber of Harper's magazine. In this story
'The Conquest of Canaan," Mr. Tarklng-
ton hns returned to his own field, Indiana,
the field wherein his genius has already
reached Its happiest development. The

of his story.
Henry Wallace Phillip's first novel,
"Plain Mary Smith; A Romance of Red

Interesting, and judging from it the book,
when published, should make a hit.
There is so distinct a war flavor to the
June Century that It might well have been
called a Memorial day issue. Thomas M.
gemmes contributes "A Pupil's Recollec.
tiona of 'Stonewall' Jackson," Lelghton
Parks, very happily told, "What a Boy
Baw of the Civil War;" George Langdon
Kilmer, "Boys in the I'nion Army," a sub
ject of growing Interest; ami " by one who
followed him," "Recollections of JubM
Early." Four stories sound the same
theme: "Miss Sally and the Enemy," in
Qouverneur Morris' happiest vlen; "In the
Virginia Room," by Arlo Bates, a story
to read with heart full of sympathy; "Two
Pensioners," by Harry Stlllwell Edwards,
bubbling over with quiet fun. and Ruth
Kimball Gardiner's "John Edward's
Friend " a Memorial day story of childish
pity and patriotism. Coming down to later
days, Captain Horace M. Reeve recounts
the stirring story of "The Defense of Baler
Church," by Spaniards in the Philippines,
and Herbert J. Hagerman has much of in
terest to tell of 'The Russian Court."
