South Dakota Bishop
Honored by Missouri
Rev. Frederick F. Johnion Elected Co
adjutor, with Right of Succession
to Bishop Tuttle.
FT. tiOtIS. May 1.-Rev. Frederick F.
Johnson, bishop of South Dakota and a
relative by marriage of Bishop Tuttle,
was elected coadjutor bishop In the Epis
copal diocese of Missouri at the diooeaaa
convention today. 'The position carries
the right of eventual sucoeaaloa ta Bishop
Tuttle.
Bishop Johnson, who lives at Sioux
Falls, was a leader In the crusade made by
religious workers there against the lax
divorce laws of Bouth Dakota, and It was
largely through his efforU that the laws
were anundtd and the "divorce colony"
driven to Reno.
fiUiiop Johnson Is C years o.d and a
natie of Connecticut. He ai educated
In Trinity uollt-gc. Hartford, and la
Berkeley Divinity school, Mtddletowa.
Pouth Omaha had Its eyes opened to the
value of Industrial education when the
school exhibition opened Thursday nls;ht at
K3 North Twenty-fourth street. The ex
hibition represents the work of B.OOrt chil
dren In the fifteen schools of the city and
comprises everything from kindergarten
work of papier mache to ciny modeling
and wood carving by the sen:or grades.
The work of the Industrial geography
classes especially attracted much atten
tion and comment Industrial geography
is a new study. In which the students In
dicate on the maps the chief products ot
the countries or ststes mapped.
One of the greatest attractions of the
exhibition waa the clay modeling of a 12
year-old boy, Charles Lartna, a student of
the Jungman school. Lactna is said to
be almost deaf and for a long time was
a problem to his teachers. Accidentally It
was noted that the boy roved to model wet
clay and forthwith the problem was
solved, now young Lactria attends the
manual training school twice a week and
devotes his time to clay modeling. His
work Is superlor end indicates magnificent
talent. Three pieces of work especially
merited the attention of the visitors to
the exhibition. They were "The Creeping
Puma, a head of IJncoln and a head or
Beethoven. In his work the boy, While
showing some attention to detail, catches
principally the strong lines of his subject.
The exhibition will continue for the
bslnnce of the week and it is expected
that a KTeat crowd of the parents anil
pRtrons of the schools will encourage the
scnoiars and pupils by their attendance

action of the members of the Board o
Education who summarily suspended Mlsi
Laura Delpsch. a teacher In the Haw
thorne school, for whipping Howsrd Tay
lor. a pupil.
The boy waa said to have been several v
beaten about the legs with a pointer be
cause of having hectored his
by pinching them. Following the complaint
maae to commissioner AI Hunter by the
boy's father, George Taylor, it Is alleged
that President Techout of the school board
notified Superintendent Graham by tele
phone of Miss Delpsch's suspension. This
mode of procedure Is considered to have
been hasty In view of the custom whereby
uie teacher is given an opportunity to
state her side of the case.
Miss Delpsch la prostrated over the turn
taken by affairs. She has been In the
publlo school service for twelve years and
her friends say she has never had the
name of being a severs disciplinarian. Her
disposition la said to be extremely mild

in placing her before tha publlo aa a mar

CRESTON AHEAD OF CENSUS
Private Eaameratlon Reveals a Gala
of 3S1 Over the Federal
Flsnrrs.
CRESTON. la.. May l.-(Speclal.)-The
census enumeration made by local parties
of tha city has been returned and It Is
found that Creston has a population of
7.575, as compared with the f.924 given In
the returns of the federal census. The'
present enumeration was made at the
Instance of the Greater Creston associa
tion by eight young men of this place, with
instructions to count all who belonged
here, but on no account to bring In padded
returns, and this Injunction Is believed to
have been carefully followed and a gain
of Sfil Is shown In Creetnn's favor.
The enumerators made the discovery
that while Creston has more families than
formerly, many from these families hsre
left here to engage In work elsewhere, be
cause Creston baa nothing for the young
men and women to do, showinr tbe n4
of enterprises to keep the boys and girls
here. Another fact noted by them was the
small amount of vacant houses here, be
ing lees than V per cent of unoccupied
houses, and the assertion Is made that
had the city twenty-five desirable modern
homes right now for rent they could all
be filled as there are that many families
who would move here osuld desirable
homes be provided.

Nine young men and one young woman,
members of the class of '11 of ths College
of Medicine of the University of Nebraska,
became ful-fledged doctors Thursday when
they reeclved their degrees from Chancellor
Avery at the First Congregational church.
The personnel of the class waa: Arno A.
Bald. Herman Bocken, Frank A. Burnham,
Lorens W. Frank. .Roy D. Martin, Erick
M. P. Bward. Willis H. Taylor, Archie W.
Ward. Reginald M. Wlldlsh and Miss Mary
W. Tucker.
Dr. Robert Henry Wolcott. acting dean,
administered the Impressive oath of
Hippocrates and presented the class as
candidates for degrees.
Chancellor Avery also Introduced the
commencement speaker, Dr. C. B. O. de
Nancreit, who has been head cf the
partment of surgery of the University of
Michigan College of Medicine for the last
twenty-two years. The chancellor spoke
with regard of his long ano brilliant serv
ice In that capacity and of his bigb stand
ing In ths profession.
Speaker I photo's Ideale.
"False and Tru. Professional Success"
waa tha subjeot of the scholarly and bril
liant address delivered by Dr. de Nancrede,
In which he upheld the high Ideals of the
profession and roundly scored Its degrada
tion to ulterior ends.
'The spirit of commercialism in the
profession, of which wa read In the lay
press and tha medical press," said Dr. de
Nancrede, "wherever it eststs, can be
characterised as nothing also than trie
prostitution of the noblest profession In
tha world to the lgnoblest end, the ac
quirement of lucre. The doctor Is as
worthy of his hire as any other laborer;
furthermore It Is his duty to his family
and to himself to guard against possible
financial embarrassment at any time, but,
these conditions granted, he la not war
ranted in debasing his profession by greed
for gold.
"Modern currents of this tendency," he
continued, "must be checked or else there
will be many shipwrecks in professional
life. Publicity Is part of the cure. But.
most of all, we must demonstrate, as of
old, that we are the unselfish conservators
of the public health."
Dr. de Nancrede sharply attacked the
practice of division of fees between the
practicing physician and the consultant
physician.
"In some cases," he said, "the former Is
bold enough to write to the consultants
and openly ask them what percentage of
the fees they will give for cases swung
to them. In this manner the patient Is
hauled around and, to put It squarely,
knocked down to the highest bidder. Ana
In the end the practice reacts to the dis
advantage of the practitioner who tries it."
The speaker also paid a tribute to the
country practitioner, speaking of the op
portunities for humanltarlanlsm that that
position holds out. and also calling atten
tion to the fict that n-.ar.y c-f the mei
successful practitioners have laid the
touudatioss for their success as country
doctors. '
