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."

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.

Thoe members of the Nebraska Slate
Teachers' association comprising; teachers,
principals and superintendents that met
yesterday In tho Klrst Methodist Kplsco
pnl church spent a very pleasant, inspir
ing day. 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. Mar
cello of Crete, for a four-year term, and
J. II. Welch for a two-year term. Four
other members for this circle will be
chosen tomorrow.
