Years of Service in Public Schools Rewarded by Honorable Retirement
T
WENTV years In the Omaha gihoola:
In tbat time . many changes would be
notched in the stick or yruprriw; changes not
only iu the externals of school life build
ings, equipment and kindred things hut
alto in the methods of teaching. Likewise in that time
a long procession of young Americans native and
naturalized who have entered the primary depart
ment, timidly and fearfully, have gone out from the
high school, boldly and proudly, waving their ciiplomas
In testimony that they've finished school"; so far,
that Is, as the city's public school is conce; lied.
Measured In this way twenty years become an epoch,
Indeed, but there is even a more vivid way of getting
the picture. Remember that th; four teachers who
this summer entered the retired list have all served
at least that time In the Omaha Echools, and most of
them for longer. .
Miss Nancy Lewis, Miss Louise M. Adams, Miss
Virginia Kennedy and Mrs. Lucretie S. Bradley, who
this year put aside the crayon of the Instructor to en
joy a life of more leisure, could each and all give a
personal picture of the changes which have come In
the twenty years. This retirement list is a romiara
tlvely new part of Omaha school life, dating only from
the year H includes, beside the four teachers
named above, the five who left active' service a year
ago Miss Jennie McKon. Mrs. Ingeletta Ware, Mrs.
Nettie C. Rbett, Mis Ada E. Alexander and Miss Villa
B. Shipper. -
Miss ('ranees Butterfield. who had taught forty
years and was entitled to a place upon the list, did not
ask to be retired, but who, during the last year, was
forced by ill health to give up ner work, did not live
to enjoy the pension.
The popular old song, which has itself survived more
than the score of years, has many points of pertinency
In regard to the story of these teachers' service:
The old school house Is altered now; the benches
are replaced
By new ones, very like the same our penknives once
defaced:-
But the same old bricks are in the wall; the bell
swings' to and fro:
lf music just the same, dear Tom, 'twas twenty years
ago. ; . . .
For twenty-three years Miss Nancy Lewis taught
the toddlers at the Walnut Hill school; that is, they
were toddlers twenty-three years ago, w hen they en
tered the first grade: now they are much more sophis
ticated, having gained some school experience in the
kindergarten. Twenty-three years ago first grade
meant the first of school; the painful or pleasant ex
perience of gettiug accustomed to the fact that one had
a Uind which must be traiuod. Training, too, used to
be leas painlessly administered. Instead of just as
simulating words, sounds, meauiug and all that, the
beginner used to struggle with the awful sequence
of A. B, C, until be could sing-song it off backwards
and forward. The same thing has happened lu num
ber work. The child who used to watch with fascina
tion akin to terror the teacher's skillful and quick
sliding of the colored balls upon the wires of the num
ber frame, and, trembling, announce that two and two
made four, now learns the same important fact with
much less difficulty However, It is recorded that
even twenty yeais ago the toddlers who began their
studies at Walnut, Hill found school life a thiDg of
Joy. The steady march of educational methods did
not daunt nor distance this one educator. From the
time she left the Slate" Normal School of Nebraska at
Peru In 1S75 ,until her retirement in.;. lfcpo she was
always tn step with the fore guard. Before coming
to Omaha Miss Lewis UugAt iu ?ow'a. Missouri and at
Peru, Neb., and was at one time principal of a four
room school at Grinnell, la. She began teaching In
Omaha In 1S8C and entered upon her valuable service
at the Walnut Hill school iu 1SS7.
Miss Louise Adams has during the last six or seven
years ofher teaching lu Omaha been much interested,'
and given valuable service to one of the more modern
developments of school wort the night school. This
work with our foreign charges she found exceedingly
Interesting, and it was iter ambition to some time give
all her attention to tutoring the stranger who would
be American. , ,
The night school work, while a quite recent develop
ment, is already an Important and much-needed one.
In one of the night schools last year a whole roomful
of Greeks were studying the language. The Btudents

MAKING her recent most generous gift
to the Young Women's Christian asso
ciation and Young Men's Christian asso
ciation Mrs. Ida M. Wharton paid a sub
stantial-tribute of appreciation, since
the gift was impelled by a belief that it was
through these organizations the money could
be made to reach with most benefit the most
lives.
This wHsn t what Mrs. Wharton said in so
many words in reply to the query, because
Mr. Wharton did not reply directly; in fact,
she prefers not to talk of her gift. And so,
for the story of the gift, it is moro satisfactory
to address the query to the "right hand"
rather than to the dowering left hand; that is,
to ask her husband, John C. Wharton, to tell
you about it.
And as Mr. Wharton Is himself exceedingly
interested In the work of the associations,
particularly that for the young men, the talk
rapidly resolves itself into .a discussion of the
good work being done. Immediately, then,
you have jour finger on the motive the ap
peal nd the importance of the work which
the associations are doing.
"You see, 'five years ago, when we were
carrying on the campaign to raise the $100,
000 for the Young Men's Christian associa
tion, Mrs. Wharton became much interested
in the w ork. She was interested at that time,
contributed to the fund then, and ber interest
has grown as she has investigated the work
which the association is doing.
"Particularly was she impressed by the
work being done among the boys. The fact
that the association provides a place for them
a place where they can go and enjoy them
selves, as well as a place which offers educa
tional advantages impressed her very
strongly. Then she learned that among the
boys who work there are many to whom the
to be one of the best of many such, inasmuch as It rec-
expense attached to the night school is pro- ognizes both the teachers' and the people's interests,
hibitive. and so she thought If a fund .would The pension fund is supported by both teachers and
help these boys to the education they, needed,
wanted, such a fund would be well applied,
and so she made the gift. There are no
strings to the endowment; the income can be
applied as the directors see fit, but these are
the possibilities which particularly impressed
her. At the Young Women's Christian associa
tion' I think it was the travelers' aid work
w hich impressed her most vividly. . She real
the community; the teachers give 1 per cent or every
month's salary and the board gives one and a half
times this amount.
To be eligible to the retired list a teacher must
have taughtfor thirty-five years twenty years in the
Omaha schools. Upon retirement she leoeive $500 a
year so long as she lives. The annuity is a recogni
tion of her work for the conimuiiliy. It means, in a
way, an appreciation of all those thousands of right
ized that many girls do come to the city impluses the teacher,, in her public service, hat set la
totally unprepared to cope with conditions
here; unacquainted with conditions and quite
unprovided with funds. ' Their assistance she
considers an important part of the work. And
the rest room, which offers an hour's rest to
the business women whose work means hours
of standing, seems to her a very much needed
department. She is exceedingly interested in
the business women. - ; ...
"In fact, when we were talking about ber
gift she asked me which I thought really more
motion in the lives of Omaha's children. It means
that after twenty years' work for Omaha children,
Omaha children growa up will contribute through
their representatives to the comfort of their one-time
preceptor.
- Omaha has made considerable progress In the mat
ter of providing for the honorable retirement of civic
employes." 'Firemen have long bad a pension Hat, to

SEW YORK, July .-(Speolat Dispatch
to The Bee.) Some of the delegates to the
great missionary conferences at Edinburgh
are returning home and without exception
they are enthusluatiu over their recep
tion at the Scotct capital and the
splendid spirit shown at the great gather
ing of earnest Christian men. There were
present at the conference more than 1,100
delegates representing nearly every organ
ization existing for the purpose of propa
gating the Christian faith throughout the
world. The majority of them are engaged
In the work In foreign fields or have been
so engaged scholars, statesmen, publicists,
soldiers, sailors, divines, thinkers the
very cream of the Christian community on
earth gathered together to consider how
best they can attack heathenism and most
advantageously take the go.spel to the non
Christian world. . The conference Ig
nored the points and minor differences
which divide the fon-es of Christ, and one
of the mopt pleasing and most promising
signs is that while the I Ionian Catholics
stood aloof, .they were rot In-. ani way
antagonistic.

ceeds any councrl hold In pat ages. It

the earth, not only white men. hut repiv

under the sun. The k-adir g student of
missions and the most ey r-em ;d mission
ary administrators In Europe anl America
were Included among the members of the
commi.tsloue. The Edinburgh conferences
differed from all former conferences. In
that for the first lime the delegates were
dlrvctly nominated by reogn'zrd mission
ary souleties In due proportion. All ceo
lions of the Christian rhurch lave long
seen the folly of (ierpematlng in China
or India the divisions which ha-.a acted
so disastrously at home, ur.d the neces
sity fi.r union Is being more widely rec
ognized each year. One of the most tan
guiue expectatioi.a of the promoters is
the drawing together of the churches at I
home as the direct result of the world I
missionary conference, which lightly re- I
garded. will no doubt prove another epoch
making event which will mightily affect
the world's history and destiny. . .
From all sections of the world reports
were made showing the great progress be
ing made by the missionaries. '
The following figures show the magni
tude of the missionary work of the world:
One year's contributions, .351.12; or
dained missionaries, ordained and un
orduined worker", OS.J-ji; native Christians,
5.31, ST1, and woman physicians, working
as missionaries, 341.
"The missionary outposts are the skir
mish lines of the advancing army of civil
ization," said Rev. Martin 8. Eldrldge of
Toklo, now tn thi country. "That their
mere presence means opening new territory
to foreign Influence, and hence a new mar
ket for foreign goods, no one can deny.
"It Is Interesting to study the methods
by which these results were accomplished.
For Instance, one missionary came to
Japan twenty-five years ago and went to
live In a remote town In the Interior.
This man and his family could not buy
the simplest article for household use, as
no Euroiwan had ever lived in that sec
tion. The people went to see the foreign
house and furniture just as they might
crowd Into a museum.
"They examined the queer foreign clothes
with their curious buttons. They were
filled with admiration when they gazed
U on the metal wash basin In which the I
foreign barbarians washed their fa:e and !
i hands. The first know-ledge that came to 1
! the missionary that he was a drummer In I
disguise waa when a. uV.egalloii or prom-
' lnent c'llzene wailed upon hira and re- j
! quested him U tei.d to one tf the open ,
