THIS Bhti: OMAHA, Kit! DAY, XOVEMKKK 7, 1913. DEMANDS WOMAN SUFFRAGE Chancellor Avery Pleads Women Be Given More to Say Politically. APPLAUD HIM VIGOROUSLY When ehrnUi I'nl vrmlty Head Esponnda III Volley It Wins Ilia Antllenec with 31niietle Attraction. Chancellor Samuel Avery of the Cut erslty of Nebraska, speaking to an audience of slate teachers at the Fltst Jlethodlst church last night, demand Jd suffrage i"or women .ind greater lnd pendenco for both men and women In th teaching profession. The chancellor sa'd the club must be removed from over the heads of slate educators before the teacher could hold any great Influence In the community. Ha tald: "Take away the chance of the teachar aolng milch higher, take an ay from him the fear that lie will lose his position altogetlur and we wll! have school teachers much l'.ku those In the Institu tions of Kurope, where the teacher playa an Important part In the political as '.veil as the civil life." Chancellor AVery pleaded with the pub 1 c to strike the shackles of "petty scru tn" from tho teachers; give them n f.eer range; criticise them less; allow them to inrtclpate actively in all local nffa'rs and become permanent, trusted Ut'zens. Reverting to his argument for woman suffrage the chancellor said: Otvc Them n'Ulglit. "If we analyze further the teachers want of political Influence shall ve not find In equal suffrago at least a partial solution nf the problem? Glvo the dis franchised teacher a right to vote and I doubt not that the profession generally will exert n, much moro potent Influence In the conduct of public affairs." Chancellor Avery's plea for greater lib erty for tho teacher and his ndvoracy of .woman suffrago received the applause of a house crowded from pulpit to gal-' lery. Tollowlng Chancellor Avery, President Alexander Melklejohn of Amherst col lege delltered an address on the subject of "rteact.'on In College Education," In nhlch he earnestly attacked the modern tendency toward specialization. "We've had enough of tin specialist," President Melklejohn cried. "What wo want Is a coherent, more unified view of the world." The sreakcr said the specialists had grown apart from each other and that there was no. longer a "general knowl edge." - Thia state or affairs, he con tended, led to Chaos. He said: "We are not going back to the classics solely, but our civilization Is sure as fate to fall into separate fragments If wo do not take these- separate bits of Informa tion and put them together. And this 's what the liberal college of the futuro will do-take us back from Incoherence iu:d chaos and give each a coherent view 5f life." THOMAS MEN SECURE RECOGNITION AT THE HANDS OF PRESIDENT. . . (Continued from Page One.) dismiss. Thomas got no hearing before the state board and was dismissed In a secret meting of the board. The special train from Lincoln yesterday brought hundreds. At noon the en rollment had reached over 4,100 and more were constantly pressing at the line. This Is the largest enrollment' the 'association has ever enjoyed at any convention. DISLZHLl, MA V 'BLOCK MOVK Sny Ileaolntlnna Would Tend (o Disrupt the Orsanlsntlon. State Superintendent 'James E. Uelzell, prebldcnt of the Nebraska State Teach ers association, will attempt to throttle ai.y effort to bring resolutions denouncing the State Board of Education for dls ihurg'iig President A. O. Thomas from the Kearney Normal school, before the association. The plan -of tho suporters xt Dr. Thomas is to bring In a minority report from the resolutions committee severely criticising the state board and demanding that the tenuio In office of teachers be made more certain. "Any attempt to bring in resolutions commending or denouncing the state board will tend to disrupt tho organiza tion," said Superintendent Uelzell, "and as for me 1 would not permit any .reso lution commending my action to be sub mitted to the vote of the association. "I hope no attempt will be made 'to in tioduce such reports, but If they come from the executive committee we will, I suppose, have to consider them." The executive committee is supposed to luibs on the resolutions prepared by the lesolutlons committee. The Thomas mem bers of the resolutions committee, know ing what the executive committee is likely to do with the resolutions of denunciation, aie prepared to appeal to the convention, een though the pre&idrnt refuses to sanc tion the submission of the resolutions to vote.

CARSON DEFIES A TEACHER Editor Says Good Educator One Who Teaches Pupil Self Help. SHOULD IMPART KNOWLEDGE .'o Mntler lion Much Hp nr Hlic Mnv Kiiiih, the Important 'llilnur I" to Present II Properly to the Student. A good teacher Is one who makes him self "useless" as quickly us possible. This In substance, was. the definition given of a competent Instructor by O. T. Carson, editor of the Ohio Educational Monthly, Columbus, o.. jesterdny afternoon, lie was addressing a Joint session of county superintendents, boards of education and rural school teachers at the Omaha High school "That definition, for which I am not responsible. Is not, taken literally, very complimentary to tho teacher." said Mr. Carson. "While It is something of a quip. It Is full of meaning. A good teacher, in other words. Is one who can teach the pupil self-help one who can show tho pupil the way to do things for himself. H Is in this way that the good teacher makes himself 'useless.' " Mr. Carson's dddrcss was greeted as a feature of the session. It followed a dis cussion on "How Teachers Are Judged," Joined in by Miss Alice t'lorcr, York county; Miss Hannah Johnson, .Hoone county, and T. C. Grimes, Custer county. Dr. 12. Holovtchlner, president of the Board ot Education, had spoken on "The Need of Technical or Industrial Educa tion In Our Schools" and "The Duties of Hoards of Education to Promulgate the Same.'' The editor of the Ohio IJducattonal Monthly believes that tho most successful teachers aro thogo whd,- In their owh minds, can reproduce the problems that perplex the student. Problems of TmcliliiK. "Occasionally," ho continued, "there creeps Into our schools grade schools, high schools, collogea and universities as an Instructor a man who Is wholly unfitted to discharge the duties he has undertaken. This Is particularly true of universities, where wo sometime find a man who has spent his life in research work trying to impart to students his knowledge of some particular subject or BClence. Now, sucji a man, without ques tion, has all the knowledge and moro than Is required of a good Instructor. The troublo usually is Hint he positively can not pass it on; ho is a scientist, not a teacher. Men who have been successful in research work whose wholo training has fitted them for that department of endeavor should turn their data over, so to speak, to men who have ncqulred, or have boon gifted with, the knack of teaching." The opinions of Mr. Giimcs as to the criterion by which teachers are Judged by pupils, parents and others were re garded as rather original. He said that 'the personality and the personal appear ance, especially of a woman, had much to Jo with tho Impression that is given. He said that tho Inborn regard that every one has for physical charm is responsible for this. RAPID CITY RANCHMAN ARRESTED AT SEATTLE SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 6.-John Bays, a ranchman of Hapld City, S.

There W8T3 a session In the morning, with music and addresses and a similar program In the afternoon. OyT Carson, editor of the Ohio Edu cational Monthly, published at Columbus, O, delivered a remarkably strong address on "Is the Public School a Failure?" His remarks were chiefly directed to the de structive 'Criticisms - aimed at public schools "I notice that whenever 1 hear a man find fault with a person or with an In stitution, lie rarely has reasonable rem edies or suggestions to offer," Mr Carson said, "and I notice also that the man who most frequently shouts his disap proval of a person or of an Institution knows tho least of what he Is talking about "A little more than 1ST years ago some statesmen decided that all men aro born equal," ho continued, "and It is In tho public schools where this Is most evident. It is there that Jeans rubs against broad cloth In 1S7G a great exposition was held in Philadelphia. It was readied that some history had been made during the first ICO years of tho nation's existence It was also decided to let the rest of the nation know these facts. And that is how we came to study history In our schools V. Ij. Strickland of Tecumseh and W. W. Stoner of Valo spoke on practically the same lino ot thought. "Some Causes of Delinquency" wa sably discussed by It. V. Clark oj the Kearney Industrla, school, and the topic of "Home Ilemedles of Delinquency" was ably discussed by K. Bradford of the School of Agriculture at Lincoln. It was pointed out that an unclean home Is often at the bottom of the case when a boy loses Interest In school work. As a remedy, It was suggested' that in dustrial training be mora widely Investi gated and acted upon. Music was furnished by the Collegian, a very clever quartet with well trained voices. After the speaking an election was held A. II. Dixon of Tekamah was elected president of the HuperintcndenU' and Principals' association. E. C. Cowen of Auburn was chosen vice president for the ensuing year and Clare Mackin of Nebraska City waa re-elected secretary. Two members were elected for the Read Ins Circle board. They are E. W.
