Omaha's Rapid Push and Energy Revealed Omaha Posting Service Perform Wonderful Feat for The Bee in Getting 800 Sheets Up. This Is said to be an a;e of rarld thin, an age when every other man Is trying to do something In faster time than his competitor, or at least trying to get ahead with a new record. Tn every tine of ?n deavor the man who can push thlnrs faater than his competitors is the man who gets attention and business. Omaha Is on the map because of the rapid way In which It Is gettlnr to the front. And It Is getting to the! front because It has a live bunch of business men In all Its lines. Tho most recent example of Omaha rnersrv has been exhibited by the Omaha Posting Service, a firm that Is ranked as one of the leaders In Its line In the west. Us latent bit of work entitles it to the rank of Push Colonel. It was necessary fiatnrrtny for this serv ice company to get some posters on the boards for The Bee. The paper R00 sheets arrived late. It was 10 o'clock In the morning. Instructions were to the effect that these sheets all ha1 to be put on the billboards before nightfall. Could the Om.tha Posting Bervlce do the work? Could It do It? Well, look at the result. With the paper at their command shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday morning, the men engaged by this company set to work to plaster the boards with the bills announc ing the startling low rate for The Evening and Sunday Bee. The Bee was to be sold for 25 cents a month evening and Sunday editions. The public must know this fact, murt have It before their eyes before a new week began. The bill posters were going through the fastest kind of move ments before twenty minutes after 10, and It looked as though all the paper would be In place before nfc;ht came. And all the paper was in place. Before the clock struck. 7 Saturday evening every sheet every one of the 8i)0 had been plastered to the boards, and the men who had per formed the task were goirg home to supper. As one man expressed his opinion of this feat, "It waa going some." But this Is the energy and push that the Omaha Posting Service shows in all its Jobs. It gets there with the goods -every time. It takes orders to perform work rapidly and efficiently. It does the best kind of work and has established a name over all the west. Its men are careful wlth their Jobs and see that they are neatly done. Rapid, efficient and neat work are the character istics which make this firm among the leaders In this section of the country.

I Henry Churchill King, president of Ober lin college, finished a strenuous day In Omaha yesterday at a reception and ban quet given in his honor by the Nebraska alumni of that Institution at the Paxtnn hotel. Over sixty listened to a brilliant address from President King on "The Chal lenge that Our Mtern Age Throws Down to our Educational Institutions." Two toasts preceded President King's ad dress. Mrs. F. P. ioomls spoke on "Per sonal Contact," laying importance upon It presence In all education . and. asking for smaller classes. "Modern Oberlin" was the subject taken and enlarges upon by the Rev. James A. Jenkins, praising It In Its equipment, . Its faculty and Its align ment with modern educational tendencies. Charle O. McDonald acted as toastmaster. Dr. King devoted some time to Oberlin, the present condition of the college and the great things planned for it, but he soon swung Into the larger aspect of the college In the modern world. He outlined the tre mendous growth of the world In- Its many phases, especially in the economic. No Nation Stands Alone. "The economic solidarity of the world has become such," he said, "that no na tion can be isolated. The inter-dependence of men is greater than anyone thinks. Th complexity of things is astounding, as are the different problems that arise out of it. The challenge of the modern world to educational institutions is to turn out men Into the world life, who are unselfish a well as Intelligent." Talk to Teacher. "Respect for Personality" waa tha them of the -address delivered by Dr. King be- rore the Omaha school teacher at the Young Woman's Christian .rw.-iti Tuerday afternoon, and the responsibility of the teacher was directed to the preser vation of a dedicate consideration for the child's own self. "No force is more potent In hlstorv th.n reverence for personality," said Dr. King. "It seems to me that it Is absolutely the dominating foree In life. A person can never be treated solely as a means, a per sonallty Is always to some, degree an end In Itself." "Reverence for personality means first of all elf-reverence; not self-conceit nor self-depreciation. A man has a right to believe that he has a message given him. He will, on the other hand, constantly remember how great a gift Is given him through others and will remember that each other man has also his own message. "What I Worth While. "What Is really worth while, as I de fined It for a student once, is to enjoy as we may character. Influence and happiness What your claim Is on life for yourself Is the measure of your obligations to other men. When a man fails to speak his own message a given to him by Ood he falls In character. Bo a man'g character depend upon his self-reverence. "Influence as the second element of what Is worth while dofnands self-reverene. W owe lo. our friends a "growing personality and enriched and enlarged friendship and we owe It to them to be always Improving our own selves. Respect for another means respect for hla liberty and 'for his personality.. Tou cannot hold another man a slave or hold him too closely to your own Ideals f9r.hlm without .being .a.slav yourself. I believe that every human being ha a right to make his own blunders and right to a sphere In which he can. work In his. own way. .. . . Bvery Mfe I Solitary. , Did you ever think how very solitary, after all. our Inner life must be? That Is what drives us- back to God. Not even those who are closest to us can completely understand us. Bo, if you teachers are to come into the cTiild s Inner life, you CRnnot go without the child's own permission. You cannot expect a child to feel this sense of reverence for qther unlee It la shown for him. "In the most beautiful live there la even in the most intimate relationships delicate conslderatlou for the sanctity of another's personality; . I think of the man who, aa he lay dying, said to his wife -in Hour face I have seen the face of eternity I could wish nothing, mora for you teachers In your work of shaping the lives of children. than that they'mlght In some .. ...cure oe Die to say this of you."
