society, for It Is a function without
-which society could not possibly ful
fill Its mission, nor even preserve
Itself.
The great drawback to tho work
of practical education is, and has
been, that It Is too of ton taken up
merely as a stopping-stone to some
thing else. Too many teachers,
principals and superintendents re
gard their school' work only as a.
chance to lay by capital of one kind
or another with which to launch out
In somo nioro tempting field. In tho
case of tho woman teacher who gives
up the school room for the home, the
value of the experience continues to
be a social asset. The school jnan
or school woman only half-hearted
In the Job because convinced he Is
cut out for something else does not
appreciate or utilize the opportuni
ties in hand. On the other side, the
teacher who Is thoroughly dovoted
to the work, and believes teaching n
mission ns high as any other calling,
Is the one who is certain to produce
real results.
The Unfolding Stage.
"I never come' to Omaha but I am
Impressed with the thought that your
city Is just In its unfolding stage,"
rcninrkcd a visitor whoso business,
brings him to Omaha about once In
two years.
Such nn Impression must occur to
any thoughtful observer. Omaha Is
in Its unfolding stage, the stago of
growth and development. Ono can
find tho evidences of it In new build
ing upon every hand, and if ho has
watched the progress of the last dec
ade ho must bo additionally struck
with the long, uninterrupted period
of this growth. In these, years tho
city has really stepped Into full
grown metropolitan attire and habits,
but particularly since 190C has Us
building development x been rapid,
constant and pretentious. In that
year, which was large In building tho
country over, some $7,000,000 were
expended In now structures hero and
about 86 per cent of that was "homo"
money, owing, largely, to the fact
that two big local estates' were dis
solved Into active working capital.
An enumeration of tho big busi
ness houses gone up In this era would
be interesting indeed, for It would
tncludo a dozen Immense wholesale
structuroa, numerous' sky-scrapers,
public buildings and others; to say
nothing of a scoro or more beautiful,
modern apartment houses and man
Blons for private residences. Yos,
we in Omaha are in the unfolding

come, for as a city wo stand upon
the threshold of -prodigious promlso
and prosperity.

Sntlre or Madness f
THE WlLDfl. Nov. fi.-To the Kdltor of
The Bee: I am a mad man; at least peo
ple say I am. As 1 am thus disqualified
from Judging I needs must take their
word for It. and hence It Is t describe
myself as "The Mad Man of the Woods."
So much for autobiography; I suppose
your readers would not be Interested In
the life of an old, mad grandfather, even
of one who, because of his affliction was
first prompted to take up his abode here
In The Wilds to s,pare the delicate sensl.
bllltlea of children too kind to leave him
to the tender ministrations of a charita
ble state.
I wonder whether you print letters from j
people non compos mentis; sometimes 1
think you do. I hope so, because I am
writing this, not so much because I think
that possibly some curious reader might
enjoy observing how a madman thinks, as
because I have an Irresistible desire, they
would call It "Impulse," to see something
from my heated brain In print. H Is a
falling which 1 have come to believe Is
very prevalent among people In my
mental condition.
t am not always mad:, I have lucid In
tervals, whenl can think calmly; at least
when I think I can. It seems to me that
I am now writing lucidly. However, be
ing non compos mentis, I do not Judge
of my own conduct nnd state but leave
that to others.
Think not that I do not feel a choking
In my throat an'd nn Icy gripping on my
heart when nn Innocent baby cries ln
terror at sight of my long, white beard
nnd wild and roving eyes, so fult of mad-
ness, although I never have felt hate or
anger, but only a deep, Inexpressible sad
ness. At times I almost feel reproachful
when a woman of culture and refinement,
In passing me upon the street, gathrs
aside her skirts with loathing and dis
gust. And when young high schoot gtrK
who surely must be considerate of other
old people, boldly pass remarks about me
on the street cars ln my hearing, and
ridicule me, think you I have no feeling,
no confusion at my condition for which
I am not reHponslble? At times I think
It Is only my brain that Is diseased and
not my soul, but then again, I know that
my soul Is different from other souls and
that I will rave and think Incoherently
during tho eternity to come as I hav
rayed and rambled from the beginning.

STERLING, Neb., Nov. S. To the Ed
ltor of The Bee: I wish to submit a short
answer to Superintendent Waterhouse's
paper.
In the first placo Mr. Waterhouso gives
a long history and defense of the School
masters' club. This club needs no de
fense. No one conversant with the facts
claims any official action of the club as
such on tho matters under discussion.
Why cannot such men aa Mr. Water
house stick to the point and not try to
cloud Issues? The only charge against
the Schoolmasters' club ln any way Is
that there Is a small number In the club
who have been careful to work them
selves Into the management of the club
and to hold the management, using the
large percentage of the club as a re
spectable cloak to cover their the few-
plans and personal gains. The objection
Is not to the respectable many In the
club, but to the unethli-al practices of the
few who are to be found within the mem
bershlp ot the club.
As far as can bo found Dr. Thomas has
been dismissed from the presidency of
the Kearney Normal, Just because he Is
personna non grata to a few prominent
school men of the state. Will the tax-
payers of the state and the patrons ot
the educational Institutions allow good
effective school men to be dismissed from
positions of trust and responsibility Just
because a few self-appointed dictators
do not have a warm personal feeling for
the men?
Mr. Waterhouse says In regard to Mr,
Thomas' desire for the presidency of the
Teachers' association: "Had Mr. Thomas
In tho beginning of his career been SMt
Isflcd to wait for selection to the prcal
urncy as nave most or the outer men
who have been selected, he doubtless
would have been president long ago."
It Is certainly Illuminating to know that
there -has been a higher power In

Teachers association has been supposed
to be, that hat been recognised as having
the. rhjht to say who and when people
could be elected to positions of honor.

Wh.t defense can Mr. Waterhouse mak
for this ring which he confesses so
frankly has been at work?
Mr. Waterhouse In conclusion admits;
1. That the troubles of Dr. Thomas are
due to the fact that the- men who have

But there Is evidence that n lot of sub-

to ask for hor.ors at the hands of the

Thus, by the charges of the fr'ends of i
Mr. Thomas and the admissions of his'
f-nerntes, the case Is before the fury of '
public opinion. There seems to be llttli
controversy as to the facts.
This Is not a fight of Lincoln against"
Omaha, nor vice versa, nor even of Dr 1
Thomas, as a person against his con-1
fessed enemies. It Is a queitlon of ,
cleaning up the rood name of the teach- I

and file of Nebraska teachers are worthy '
of better things at the hands of eduru
tlnal leaders. School men and women
ought to succeed In Nebraska on merit ,

Cuts that print
There Is often all the difference In the world between
a cut that shows up well in the en&raver's proof and one
thai, shows up well when It is printed. Cuts made for a
newspaper have to be made so that they will rive Rood
results under the most adverse conditions. For that rea
eon, a newspaper engraving plant produces cuts that th
ordinary printer can use and get good results.
