The second "general aeaelon of the East

enthusiastic In the fine treatment accorded
themfln Omaha and are aylng all kind of
nice things about the well-attended sua

From the singing by well-drilled chil
dren' choruiea to the ably prepared and
delivered addresa by Dean Fordyce the
program teema with good thing, aa waa
well ahown by the absorbed Intereet of the
large audience. N
The" first epeaker of the morning waa
!'rinr(pal 15. V. Oraff on "The Development
of Moral Selfhood."
Though he has been In Omaha but a
remnarataively short time Mr. Graff's pop
u'arity In Omaha waa shown In the apon
tancousi buret of applause which greeted
his appearance. F'om the first well told
lory he captured hla audience and held It
while he explalued the Importance of de
veloping the positive in the youth of the
land. He said that "don't is an abstraction
to children. They usually translate 'do not"
to mean Mo.' They cannot understand
negative). Moral development comes from
the positive. What the child doea count
for ethical as well as for phyelcal power.
The problem of the teacher Is to 'hold up'
ryther than to hold down.' No teacher
should be content to work on the negative
side of child life, even though the bringing
out of the positive be difficult.
Na ta Tell.
"Americans need not be told that there
a clasa of dtlsena whose motives are
lood, bu( whose actions are seemingly
criminal. Categorically selfhood mean two
auida of qualities, those leading to suitable
duals aud those training a strong will.

industry whom President Roosevelt ha j
scored. The school should not only Incul
cate ideals, but also fundamental life prin
ciples. The school must subdue bad ten
dencies." Mr. Graff's address made a marked im
pression. After a aolo by Miss Elizabeth Bheean of
Columbus, President Graham Introduced
the next speaker. Superintendent A. H.
Waterhouse of Fremont.
That Mr. Waterhouse' long connection
with the Omaha High school had endeared
him to the people of Omaha waa evinced
in the most cordial reception accorded him.
It amounted almost to an nvatlon, and the
speaker was not wholly free from emotion
when h said he felt himself at home
again.
Anchorage la Rdacatloa.
In a most carefully prepared and well
delivered paper, Mr. Waterhouse told what
waa meant by "Safe "Anchorage In Edu
cation." HI Introduction abounded with
poetry, though much sound pedagogical
philosophy waa also Intermingled. He al
luded to the fact that the ancient philoso
phers had said, "All Is change." Then he
showed how In nature, In the sky, the
oil. In the plain, in the city. In Inner man
and In his environment nothing persists.
The activities of men are constantly Chang
ing. Where the stage coach once lumbered
ponderously We now have the swiftly mov
ing locomotive and train.
"The water wheel was once thought a
miracle of power, now even the steam en
gine and turbine and the dynamo are not
entirely aufflcient. From a school with
little more than a single course of study,
we have come to the course of almost In
Infinite variety. All of this Involves waste,
w aste "may mean decay that lead to ruin.
It may be simply the result of well or
dered change.
"Our owr attitude I Indicated by the
way we face. If our face are toward the
past, we are liable to be conservative, re
sulting change. If we face the future, the
tendency la to make us Ultra 'progressive.
Da at Worry.
"There Is no need to worry because of
change. Some times these things are be
yond our control. There Is a heavenly
guide, who controls these things; ours is
best to try to catch the meaning of the
age."
A good paper was this, and one
which caused much favorable comment.
A well rendered clarinet solo by Fedinand
Pascal of Weston came next.
Finally on the program waa Dean For
dyce of the Vnlversity Teachers' college.
Dean Fordyce gave some most valuable
hints on "How to Manage the Boy." This
most thoughtful paper closed a session
which marks a high standard in educa
tional affairs, and bids fair to make this
association take high rank among such
association.

With Jl atrong and attractive program
Ihe fourth annual conference of the East
Central Nebraska Teachers' association
began Thursday evening In general ses
sion at the First Methodist church. A
fairly large attendance gathered to enjoy
the various numbers. Including the prin
cipal address by Dr. Herbert L. Wiilette.
professor of Semitic language and litera
ture at the University of Chicago.
A total attendance of 1,600 or more edu
cators from Douglas and the other ten
eastern counties of the state Is expected
before the session adjourn Saturday noon.
Preliminary to the main address at
Thursday evening's general session, Rev.
J. W. Conley of the First Baptist church
offered the invocation. Hiram Bcovtlle of
South Omaha rendered an acceptable violin
solo and Miss Fannie Meyers of Omaha
won favor with her sweet voice In a solo
and encore.
"Omaha bids you welcome," spoke Dr. W.
M. Davidson, superintendent of the Omaha
public schools. In closing his address of
welcome to the assembled teacher. Out
lining briefly, but In his able way, the
scope and Importance of the educator's
profession, he pictured the magnitude of
the present conference and its possible re
sults, and with a few well chosen words
made the visitors feel at home In the city.
Responding to the proffer of welcome
Superintendent Dixon of Tekamah Inter
polated aeveral apt . anecdotes and stories
and incidentally made his acquaintance
with the members of the asaoclatlon, having
only recently taken up his work In this
state after being engaged In educative en
deavors In Ohio. He not only accepted the
welcome on behalf of the visiting teach
ers, but also thanked the Omaha teacher
who are acting as hosts during the confer
ence for the opportunity to meet In a
metropolitar city whose school system ha
a wide and high reputation.
; Dr. Wiilette left a favorable impression
by his mere bearing and delivery. He has
a voice of warmth and depth and hi lec

Though promoting no ldeaa or announce

Amusing example of limitations in

cited by Dr. Wiilette In hi proof that

he also told about some answers to ex

FRUIT AS A SPRING DIET
It Is Said to Be Far Superior
to Any of the Old-Time
soaeat
It is an old-fashioned rule, which many
yet obey, that every one should take a
tonio In the spring of the year.
Every child In year gone by was com
pelled to swallow that nauseous dose of oil
which he so dreaded, or else that equally
awful sulphur and molasses.
True, these things may not do any great
harm, but there are corrertililcs which
will do as much good and are more pleas
ant to take.
There is nothing mote lira I thy for man,
woman or child than the fresh spring vege
tables and fruit which are now on the
market, and which a"e not exoenslve.
Nothing will do more to help clear up the
system thsn th fresh greens.
The eating of meat should be reduced,
but not altogether discontinued. Every
man requlrea meat. Veal and pork should
be discontinued In the summer, and In
their place nt'i'V of fresh vegetsbles
should be eaten. When you do eft meat,
add r'en'V of water cresa to It.
See thst your children substitute fruit
for candy. Be sure It Is ripe H'en let
them go ahead.

Commissioner Decker Offers Heasona
Why They fthonld Be
Issued.
The opinion of the New York Public Serv
ice Commission of the Second district, in
the matter of the application of the Krle
Railroad for permission to issue I3O.0O0.0U0
In bonds, has been made public. Commis
sioner Decker, who wrote the opinion, says
In part:
"It is entirely possible that the company
might continue to get along perhaps fairly
well for a considerable period without re
lief of the character here shown. The
volume of traffic and revenue may be so
great that its net income would be sur
prisingly large. The board of directors
may be able to meet pressing debt pay
ments or secure extensions, and gain foot
holds of financial advantage through un
remitting economies and constant composi
tion of debt obligations which would enable
the railroad operatlona to continue without
putting In force the arrangement here con
templated. The Erie is a great property;
a large revenue producer. Its ability to
secure and handle very large traffic under
adverse conditions rms been astonishingly
great, and with such a property" in the
hands of its present competent manage
ment, successful operating end financtsl re
sults, notwithstanding K- large and varied
debt burdens, would not he surprising.
The showing of the company's operations
upon the whole system for the six months
ending December 31. 1. Indicates con
siderable Improvement of revenue condi
tions. For that period the gross operating
revenue was $2,208,382.. the operating ex
penses and taxes were tl9.23g.693.:, the
operating Income1 was $6.99,69.44. After
adding income from all other sources, and
deducting all Interest, rentals, etc., the
net corporate income was ll.902.5H.19. The
ratio of operating expenses to Income from
-sllroad operation was B9.S9 per cent ns
(gainst 70! per cent for the year ending
Inne 3o. On this hasls thegrosts rev
enue from operation for the year ending
June 1(0, 19H9. would be S5J.416.765.32. and the
net Income after nil deductions for thst
year would be $.i.srti.n;a;.ss.
"This whole situation of the Erie can be

Its finamlal credit is good. Hut because
of its large funded debt and annual In

of great business depression in Its finan
