Miss Sarah Taylor Tells Teachers of
Her Viiit to England.
IMPRESSIONS OF THE SCHOOLS
Q, Street Viaduct Heurlna; rplrlra
ud Work of Laying tne Floors
to Be Commenced Wllkli
i Few Duys.
Tor the first time since her return
from England Miss Sara V. Taylor gava
a full report of the Internet onal Educa
tional congress and the Investigations which
she mode as to English methods of school-
Ing. The occasion was a special meeting
of the South Omaha local association at
the auditorium of the high school.
Nearly all of the teaching force and
many . friends and patrons were present
Miss Taylor spent no time telling of her
voyage of private experiences, which no
doubt she enjoyed to the full capacity,
hut plunged at once Into her theme, which
was a comparison Of the English and
American methods.
Blio was much Impressed with the grand
scale of things In London. There 150,000
school children attend dally In over 3.000
school build ngs. There are something l.ke
20,0 0 teachers and many thousand other
officials In connection. Teachers In Lon
don in the secondary schools, at least, get
better pay than In America.
In England there is a pretty sharp di
vision among the students at about 12
years of age. Strict examinations cause
a separation In the classes. Those who
fail in the scholarship requirements are
thereafter directed to the mechanical pur
salts ami to the trades. Their education
becomi'S technical on thes lines. When
relegated to this class the student usually
takes up the trado his fath r followed be
fore 1.1m and It Is looked upon as pre
sumption to enter another. The Ide.i of
cast. and lowkl'in In society seems evident
in n I t'-e schools.
Mish Taylor visited Southampton, the
home i f the rilgrlms, and examined Into
the (ondi.lons there. She said she heard
the children sing "Tho Breaking Waves
I lashed High on a Stern and Rock-Bound
Coast." . She said she did not blame the
lf'rlms for leaving that part of England.
At one of the schools visited she no..ced
' a bright little girl who seemed to desire
to roc He on every opportunity. The ot iters
kept stolt.l faces and. although they lis
tened eagerly, seldom .took any part.
Af.ernard the Instructor aald: "Did you
notice" that little girl?" "Tes," replied
Miss Taylor, "she seemed fond of talk
ing.'1 The Instructor smiled. "She Is an
American girl," she said.
Miss' Taylor sa.d she noticed a peculiar
order given at the close of an Intermis
sion In one of the schools. The Instructor
Mild: "Kveryone, now, blow your noses."
It was done solemnly, without hes.tancy,
wl.ore. In America, It would have betn
followed by complete convulsions. Even
the teachers remained Immovably grave
while the American women laughed out
right. "Scotland," said MIfs Taylor, "is much
ahead ot England In classical and tech
nical learning. The higher class scholar
ships aro remarkable and far-reaching so
that Amercan faddlsm shows off In a
very bad llgnu '
The high class courses In both England
and- Scotlind are attempted by compara

Railroads Far I'P Taxes.
The city treasurer reports that all the
South Omaha railroads have paid up their
annual tax levy with the exception of the
Northwestern. The revenue from this
source have taken a decided Jump since
the terminal tax law became effective. It
Is probable that this may also explain the
prompt payment of the taxes, namely that
the state commission adjusts the tax early
and there Is little ground for misunder
standing or dispute.
It Is also reported that the measures
now being taken for the collection of per
sonal taxes, which have In many cases
been delinquent for years, have been effec
tive. Many hundred dollars of back taxes
have been paid within the lost day or
two.

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORK
Another Hot Blast Against High
School Fraternities.
ACTIVITIES OF UNIVERSITIES
Increasing Enrollment, Mew Build
ns and Departments Mark the
Ad vunce Educat tonal
Notes.
That high school fraternltlea should bs
absolutely abolished Is the strange state
ment of Prof. John N. Oreer In the House
keeper series ot papers on "The Truth
About the Public Schools." He says In
part: These societies are factional and
stir up contention. They form premature
and unnatural friendships. They are suit
Ish and snobbish. They dissipate energy
and ambition and set up wrong standards
of excellence. They Inculcate a feeling of
self-sufficiency In the members, lessen
frankness and cordiality toward teachers,
footer dark-lantern methods, encourage
habits of extravagance. Introduce politics
Into the schools and detract attention from
study. More baneful perhaps than the re
sults just named Is the undemocrat lnfltr
ence In an Institution where not only are
all on an equal footing, but where the
most valuable and Important lesson to be
taught Is that of equality.
In my own experience all that has been
said about these societies la true, and
mora. T H v n nt I tA that whan a tvtv '
Joins a fraternity he soon leaves his Sun
day school. It Is not long thereafter be
fore he smokes. A yer later be knows
the Ins and outs of gambling. When he
graduates he may have been "drunk"
more than once or otherwise dissipated.
This picture may not be a general rule,
but I have had personal knowledge of
many Instances.
Many of these are boys Who never would
have gone that way had they been kept
home and not have had this opportunity
to get entirely away from adult Influence.
This opportunity to get out from under
all restraint Is the step which leads to
many a fall. Their pledge keeps them
from telling on one another. This vow Is
one that Is in their minds superior to
home, school, church or state. The way.
j they keep it Is often quite humorous were
u noi so aisasxrous to character.
All members do not go to the bad of
course. Yet I can truthfully say that there
Is a decided depreciation of ideals, a loosen
ing of moral standards and a lessening of
their respect for authority In about all In
stances. Possibly there are parents who
will say that their daughters have been
members of sororities and they have never
observed anything out of the way. They
also know that their daughters have had
some grand good times with much whole
some fun out of them. We have had occa
sionally, an active membership In a sorority
that was made up of as fine a type of girl
hood as you will find anywhere In the
United Btates and they had good old times
when they got together, and In having that
gxd time had nothing that was question
able. Now let them go to school next day.
They flocked by themselves. They wanted
no Intruders. They drew their skirts close
to themselves should any of the "hoi
pollot" pass near. Now this group of beau
tiful girlhood, and there Is not one of them
but that you would be proud to call your
daughter, this group, I say, bad absolutely
no business to be found In that attitude
in publlo school room. They did not
represent a single essential of true demo
cracy. No part of a school should repre
sent the favored few. The public school
should afford no opportunity for superiority
of class or condition except that which is
won through Individual attainment.
I believe there Is not a parent, however,
In the city who can say about his son what
may truthfully be said about a few daugh
ters. Therein lies the danger. The boy In
his teens has very much less judgment and
reason than the girl. There is a much
greater tendency in the boy to "sport" and
dUslpate when not under restraint.
I could Illustrate by individual examples
how boys of the finest abilities and tastes
have Just gone down to the bad, the "frat"
be In the open door behind which they
took their first step. Behind this "frat" door
Is often lurking the tempter waiting for
the Innocent Iamb. The lamb has taken
his vow to forever nourish and protect this
tetrpter under all and every circumstance.
It Is not long until he Is "meat" for the
tempter and he soon Is taught the "ropes."
So much of this kind of dastardly work
Is accomplished before the parent, pastor
or teacher knows anything about It. To
have this thing happen and to have It
happen-in connection ylth a publlo school
is preposterous. A school managoment
should have the authority to annihilate It
The home and the church should provide
happen In connection with a publlo school
should assist the home and the church In
building up the highest Ideals of character
and scholarship. The school should never
In any instance afford the slightest op
portunity to lower or defeat the ideals of
home cr church. The resulting conditions
uruugni iwui uy me i acts surrounding
tnese societies demonstrate that they are
destructive of the wholesome ideals for
which very church, home and school should
stand.
IOWA STATE COLLEGE.
Special Appropriation Mad for Agrl
cnltnral Experiments.
At the last session of the general assem
bly a special appropriation of $27,000 was
mads for agricultural extension work. The
State college was by this act authorised to
conduct experiments in the various portions
of the state and to give instruction in
agriculture whenever, in the Judgment of
the college authorities, it was deemed ad
visable. The statute provides that instruc
tion should be given in grain and stock
Judging and that there should be given also
lectures and demonstration on the growing
of crops and fruits, on stock raising, dairy.
Ing, land drainage and domestic science.
The report ot the trustees shows that In
addition to carrying on the outside work
of ths department that letters, circulars
and other mailed pieces numbering more
than 75.000 have gone out under the direc
tion of this department alone.
A publlo school division, having for Its
purpose the promoting of agriculture and
domestic economy Into the publlo schools,
has been organised. The report states that
Prof. Rorm, ths head of this department,
"has met over sixty publlo engagements,
has traveled over S.000 miles, has addressed
granges, farmers' Institutes, teachers'
meetings and Institutes, short courses,
publlo schools, etc
"During the summer of 1908 a short
course for teachers was held at Sheldon,
la.. In conjunction with the County Teach
ers' institute. Extension worker In tho
varioua subjects gave Illustrated talks to
teachers and conducted studies in methods
The very keen Interest shown proved the
timeliness of taking up this line of exten
sion work."
The report further shows that this de
partment, co-operating with the various
county authorities, has maintained county
experiment stations in Sioux, Story, Mar
shall. Cedar, Montgomery, Page and Henry
counties. Valuable aa literature la as an
educational agency. It la believed that no
amount of It can bring home to the aver
age man the Importance of some economic
principle so effectively as an actual dem
onstration before his own eyes. The trus
tees' report shows that these county ex
periment stations hare b-en successful.
During the year this department has also
organised and carried forward the short
courses with great success at Newton,
Mount Pleasant, Red Oak, Avoca, Cedar
Rapids, Spencer, Storm Lake, Manchester,
Marshalltown and New Providence. The
total enrollment In these short courses was
1,660, of which I,JU were men and 1,318 were
women.
MICHIGAN CN1VERSITY.
Increased Enrollment, New Beildtnara
nnd Religions Studies, j
An early survey of the registration flgurts
at the University of Michigan over those ot
a year ago shows an Increase ot 165 stu
dents. As the total number last year, In
cluding summer school, was 6,010, this will
mean an enrol. ment well over the 6.CO0 mark
for the year 1VU6-09.
This Increase came somewhat as a sur
prise to the university authorities, as there
were several reasons which might very well
have tended to bring down the total for the
present year.
Many Improvements are now under way
on the campus of the university. The re
cent Increase in the appropriation has been
put to Immediate service, and as a conse
quence, the new dental building has Just
been occupied; a substantial addition Is
under way for the new engineering bul.dlng.
necessitated by the enormous growth of
that department the last few years; ground
has been broken for a new chemical build
ing to cost nearly $200,000, and a substantial
appropriation has been granted for the
alumni memorial building.
The new dental building Is practically
completed and the Junior and senior classes
are already Installed.
. Student, living In Ann Arbor are now
given the opportunity to take work in the
study of religion, upon a similar plan to
the courses offered In the university! In
many cases Instructors and professors In ,
the university will aid in the work, which
began with the opening of the preeent year.
The establishment of these courses Is the j
result of the efforts of a committee, com
posed of representatives from all the vari
ous religious organisations which work
among the students in Ann Arbor, and
Prof. R. M. Wenley, head of the depart
ment of philosophy in the university.
A valuable gift which has Just been made
to the university la 1,500 acres of land In
Cheboygan county, presented by Colonel
and Mrs. Charles C. Bogardus to provide a
permanent site for the summer camp of
ths engineering students of the university.
This land has an estimated value of $26,000
and is situated on Douglas lake, with a
shore line of almost three miles, allowing
a fine opportunity for trlangulatlon surveys.

hand, which will be lent to needy students
of the university. Any student who can
prove himself worthy may borrow as much
as $100 of the money, which must be re

WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY.
Lectures on Journalism, Milton Cele

Norman Hapgood, editor of Collier's
Weekly, delivered the third of the special
lectures for the students in the courses
preparatory to Journalism at the University
of Wisconsin on December i, his subject
being "floras Factors in Present Day Jour
nalism." He discussed the value of the
much abused yellow papers, tho influence
of the counting room, and took the position
that the tendency in newspapers today Is
toward greater freedom and away from
narrow partisanship.
The United State Forestry commission
proposes to concentrate Its forestry experi
mental laboratories at the University ot
Wisconsin, provided the regents will trecc
a suitable structure In which to carry on
the work. The government has a number
of laboratories for making timber tests
which It desires to bring together in a
strong engineering college, and has sub
mitted a proposition to Install machinery
and provide for the maintenance of the
laboratory. The proposition will be con
sidered by the rtgents at the quarterly
meeting, December 14.

THE VALVE OP EXPERIENCE.
People Too Rarely Take Advantage

What a pity It seems that people are
rarely satisfied with the experience ot
others. It Is an article they refuse to ac

dearly for In the original packages when

of fat endowment policies, yet prefer to

Student Control of Athletics Is More
Than Popular.
The student body of the State university
has been aroused this week over the prop
osition of turning the athletics over to one
man control. The students who are
Interested say the scheme was worked up
secretly and it became known only Just
before the plan was to have been sub
mitted to the State Board of Regents. The
students got busy at ence and the regents
Instead of taking Immediate action ap
pointed a committee to look Into the
matter. The plan figured out by the physi
cal director, Dr. Clapp. was for each
student to pay fl athletic fees for each
semester to pay the costs of the one-man
rule. Any prtfperltlon which tends to in
crease the fees at the State university will
be fought by the students for the reason
that at this time there are fees charged,
which were originally charged when the
Institution was short of finances, owing
to the use of the veto power by Governor
Deltrlch. Though legislatures since then
have been liberal with the university, the
fees remain a fixed charge.
The selection of Prof. Avery for acting
chancellor with the probability that ho will
De cn0sen later 88 chancellor, has met with
the ppproval of tho student body who have
come In contact with the professor. He Is
popular with the students, takes an Inter
est In their affairs and is respected by
them.
The fact that the Judging team from the
university farm secured second place at
the International live stock show at Chi
cago recently has caused very favorable
comment over the state. This Is the first
time Nebraska, has sent out a Judging
team and the experiment has been highly
gratifying.
PRINCETON UNIVERSITY.
Graduates EarnlnsT Honors In the
Diplomatic Service.
. Of the 104 membera of the United States
diplomatic sen-Ice representing this coun
try at foreign courts, 10 per cent aro
graduates of Princeton university. Two
graduates and one honorary graduate are
heads of legations aa mlnlstors, while
eight alumni aro secretaries ot legatl tn
and in line for promotion sooner or laUr
to ministerial and perhaps to ambassadorial
posts.
It is noticeable that this group is com
posed ot comparatively young men and
that, coming from one university, its sise
Is entirely beyond proportion to the num
ber of colleges in the country and to the
number of . diplomatic positions available.
In spite of the meagerness of the salaries
offered, Princeton graduates seem to be
keenly allvo to the openings for careers
of distinction and usefulness afforded by
the diplomatic service.
MISSOURI AUCTION SCHOOL.

A school for training auctioneers is
something new in the 11 life of Instruction.
But nevertheless there aro several of these
