At 7 o'clock tonight the r.ew street

South Main atreet below the liurllngion
station, where but one will be used to
tho block.
When Manager EngllRh announced the
consummation of tha long-worked-for
hope ha aounded a word of cuutlon,
Bomo of tha lamps may stick a little,
and mechanical defects of Inntallatlon
may develop, but wo will have a force
of expert on the Job temcdylng each as
It develops. It may be even several
night before we get all of the kinks out
and bring tha light up to thlr full
efficiency. The work la been as skill
fully done It la possible to do It, but
the great amount of cable put under
ground make It quit probablo that some
defect will be disclosed. It theio are
none at all It will simply show Unit the
character of the work has been faultless
aa w all tried to have it."
Tncalr-lns .Neve Lamps.
There will be twenty-two of the (laming
arcs on bioadway and the reinamuer
will be on Pearl and Mouth Main streets,
r'our of the lamps on liroauwjy have not
been placed for tint reason that poles are
in the way. They are located ai the
corner of liroadway ana Main and at
Seventh, Eighth and Ninth sueris. Man
ager Englisu endeavored to overcome the
obstacles at these points by swinging the
lamp on tha telegraph and telephone
pules that occupy the sites and teed them
from tho regular arc Imi.t circuit, but aa
theta circuits are aes gnrd to supply
. and tha flaming arc ueo lo t amphures
of lower voltage, It waa iifcensary to
place a reparato transformer on en eh. of
the poles. Manager Kngllnh ordered
these oarly In the struggle and they were
shipped from the factory at I'lttHfleld,
Maes., on October M, but so far have
failed to show up, although material
ordered since ha been received. Until
then transformers arrive the lamp on
theee pole cannot be lighted.
Tho giant lamps will burn the Blemen

night that ha would ba satisfied If they
gave seventy hours', service.

Tha total cost to the company for the
Installation of tha new service ha ex
ceeded $U,000. Each of tha How lamp
will give about twenty time as much
Illumination as tha old style arcs. They
will give an Illumination on the streets
covered equal to about R00 of the former
area, and the entire Increase of cost
to the city will be U-hs than Il.to) per

program, the spirit, the energy and
enthusiasm of It have been of tho
finest. The work of the departmental
sessions alone baa more than Justified
the convention."
Dr. W. M. Davidson of Washington;
"This has been a convention with a
purpose and has Intensified the In
tereot In school work In 'Nebraska.
It has pointed out the algnlficace of
the physical side of education. It has
been altogether refreshing. Miss La
throp deserves the warmest thnnlts of
the association for the excellence of
the program." .
President ' A. O. Thomas of the
Kearney Normal: "The convention
has been successful aud M!sa Lathrop
Is to be congratulated on what she
has done ln the short time she ha

the best I have seen In the twenty

Omaha, which has done everything tt
make the convention a success and th
visitors comfortable, and has suc
ceeded. The bulletining of the city
has been a great help. Miss Day Is
also to be congratulated on the
manual training and domestic tclence
exhibit."
With an outburst of good-fellowship
and a round of cheers for ex-President
Edith A. Lathrop of Clay Center, the
forty-sixth annual convention of Ne
braska school teachers closed Friday.
The fln,tl program consisted of ft resume
of the work accomplluhcd during the

When the prufcaslcnal teacher here
goes back to her work ln th country
school and u ragged urchin or an
awkward farmer boy stands before her
she will not see him as a ragged urchin

ment In centering the thought of the ss-
in.iHuon upon tne general theme "Th

lieve that the nhvsicsl if.r
child Is of the most vital and ronsenuen

We believe that the provision of our

It forces the child, during vacations, to

to leave the regular schools, or who have
become retarded In their work.
We commend all attempt of whatever
character to give the fullest measure of

Winahlp for New Method.
Dr. A. E. Wlnshlp. editor of the New
England Journal of Education, pleaded
for looser methods In the modern edu
eatlonal dispensation. Ho condemned the
rigid rule which make a prescribed cur
rlculum more valuable than the student
and denied that . modern education had
been travestied by the desire for culture,
It la pervaded too much, he said, by
tho atmosphere of Industrial life and
controlled too much by the business man
who 1 demanding super-efficiency Ir
mathematics. The mathematics course
taught at present he roundly scored as
Inefficient because It teaches pupils knowl
edge which they are not ready to absorb.
"Loosen up on thl regulation scheme,"
was the advice he emphasised.
Teacher Weep tor Hoys.
Tha convention had been all laughter
and work and enthusiasm until Dr.
"Wlnshlp began ft plea for better treat
ment of the truant boys of the schools,
In pathetto paragraphs the speaker re.
ferred to the work of Hen Peterson, a
truant officer at Muskegon, who because
he was square with the boys and they
believed In him eliminated what threat
ened destruction of the school system. He
recounted the work of the great-hearted
John Brennan, superintendent of school
In ft little town In northern Michigan,
who established a course Jn high school
known as course twenty-three for boys
Who left school ln the lower grades and
later regretted It. The work of these
men, told In ft sympathetic manner,
caused a snuffle In the crowded Audi
torium and before the doctor had con
eluded hundreds of bright-eyed, pretty
school teacher were Industriously wlp
Ing th tear from reddening eyes.
Alloa l.nlhrop Is Eulogised.
'I have never," said Dr. Wlnshlp con,
gratulutlng the convention on It success
and the spirit of the teachera toward
their work, "seen a woman preside at
ao large ft convention with auch grace
and skill as Miss Lathrop has presided
at this meeting. And I have never seen
man who did It better."
The last number on the program was
an address by Francis O. Hlulr, state
superintendent of Illinois, who spoke of
"Waste In Education," und in his speak
Ing spared not the stute of Illinois nor
other states, all he declared having be
como "weak-kneed and fuint-hearted ln
the great work they have started." He
asked for larger appropriations tnai
teacher might be paid more and that
'tho Kreatest cause of waste ln edu
cation" might be removed.
Schools Must Have Honey.
"We've got to havo more money," said
Dr. Hlair. "Thero will always be a leak In
education until we have enough money
to put the schools on ft going basis. The
fight I to get school board to levy taxes
o that we can get principals and super
Intendents who know more than to draw
their salary und their breath."

AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA
Recall Petition Against Administra
tion is Harmed.
THREE DISTURBING FACTORS
One Movement Rased on Alleg-ed
Defect In Law Extending- Term
of Present City Admlnlatra.
Hon In "oath Omaha-
Those whd believed that the defeat of
annexation would bring quiet and peaca
to the turbulent spirit of the Magic city
were disillusioned yesterday when It was
learned that ft recall petition wa to be
circulated for the ouster of the city ad
ministration.
One of the principals In the movement
Is an annexationist and the other Is ft
man who claim to have been the subject
of unmerited mud sllngrng during; th
campaign just closed.
Another movement said to have origin.
In Omaha Is based on an alleged defect
In the law extending the terms of tha
present city officials. It Is sold that at
torneys are working on the cas and
will take the matter into court.
The third cloud upon the political
horizon Is the maturing of the threat
made by the annexationists to deprlva
South Omaha of tho convenience of the
local deputy treasurershlp. According to
those. who are behind tha movement, tha
law does not warrant the maintenance
of a deputy treasurer here. This argu
ment has not met with ft great deal of
favor among the people of the city who
have enjoyed the convenience of the local
office for some time. The long trip to
Omaha for the payment of taxes 1 not
looked upon with favor by the taxpayer.
Those interested In the recall petition
say that they are not anxious to have
tho proposition come to maturity before)
next April, at which time the fight
against the extension of the terms ot
office will be made.
Some ai the 'city officials when they
learned of the new movement expressed
their disapprobation In terms mora
graphic than polite. They say that much
of tho trouble charged to the administra
tion is due to continual agitation.
