Insur gency In the ranks of the Nebraska Teachers' association ot Nebraska Is not sleeping, as evidenced br a meeting ot the committed selected to set ft time for the noxt meeting of the Educational Guild, tho Insurgent organisation, nt tho Llndrll hotel last night. Tho meeting was alUnded by Dr. A. C. Thomas of Kearney, Superintendent O. J 8towart -6t Sterling ahd' County Superintendent L. C. Kuator of Johnson county. No exact dato Wds iet ton the meotlng, but n general discussion ot piano were pmde nnd consideration of members for Admission, there being something like fifty new Applications for membership. Tho guild was organised about a year ago and, with the addition ot those who have made application, will number In tho neighborhood of lW members. The object of the organlmlon Is t6 tight the schoolmasters' organtintldn, which the members Say exists, and to- provide that merit alone be considered In the selection of teachers for the different positions In educational circle ot the state. Said Mr. Stewart last night! ",W6 are not fighting to control selections of teachers to the good positions 6f the state. We simply want every teacher In U- . . . . t - . hue Diuio u, iinvo an equal on&nco lor promotion with every other teacHcr. and wo want merit to be the standard and not membership In any club or trust to govern appointments. We want to know If teachers who have made good have got to step one side for no other-reason than that they will not knucklo down to a certain ring which controls educa tional selections at the present time, and their places given to these who are within the charmed circle ot tho school masters' club. In fact the only thing wo aro fighting for is a square deal for every teaclier and a chance to draw our educational breath freely without being subject to having our wind shut off by the despotic hand of an educational trust." Standpatters Meet. A secret meeting of the heads of the schoolmasters' ring was hold In- Lincoln only a few days agto, and were It not that n. flrnntlftmnn wU lrinnB ! it 1 -. v n.iwnp H1C4 till happened to be at the BUrllngton dopot ana saw tnem stringing along to catch a train the fnrt that !,, i , "" ,-v. . V O IICIO might not have been discovered. J. W. Crabtree, formerly one of the prime ministers In the trust, but now engaged In educational work In Wiscon sin, entered the station first. About half a block behind him camp acorge L. Town of tho University Publishing com pany, also directly Interested. Abouthatf a mock rarther up the street walked State Superintendent Doliell and his brother, W. N. Delioll, of Peru, both members of the trust and the former a member of the State Normal board. All were going toward the station, and the together. Later It was rumored that a meeting had been held arid that other members of the trust had been present. Proposed Ch&nften. It Is rumornd nnw that th n.m.i board proposes to appoint Superintendent B. J. Bodwell of Deatrlce to the presi dency of tho Kearney normal and that Superintendent A. L. Cavlness of Fair bury will go to Beatrice to take the placo maao vacant by the promotion of Prof. Bodwell. It Is not known whom they have selected to go to Falrbury In the place of Cavlness. Another pretty authentic rumor has It that when the board meets President Hayes will be deposed as president of the Peru NormAl as the price paid to T. J. Majors for his suppot of the scheme to throw over President Thomas of the Kearney Normal, .last sUmmer. When Majbrs was on the Normal board sev eral years ago he had absolute control of tho Peru Normal and It Is pretty ean erally believed in Lincoln that he pro poses to dictate things at the school now. Whether a majority of the Normal board will have the cohrago to pull off the game as the cards have been stacked remains to be seem The board meets on Tuesday, January 13, and It is Just pos sible that the No. "13" may prove a hoo i'.oo that tho trust may' not care to go up against.
