Superintendent C. M. ,Barr of Hastings
yesterday struck what eeems to be a key
note of sentiment at this convention,
when, In his address at Hotel Rome, he
declared against politics, for higher pay
and the elimination by examination of
the physically unfit teacliers. Along this
line he said:
"I know of my -own absolute knowl
edge that many teachers steind all day
before a class of thirty-five or more and
go through the pretense of teaching when
they are physically Incompetent to
teach. They ought to be eliminated, and
the only way to do it is to secure the
passage of a law requiring physical ox
amluatlon of scnool teachers.
"With the physically unfit eliminated
an Increase In pay would probably fol
low. I believe the state of Nebraska Is
wealthy enough to pay every teucher a
living wage. The pay should t extend
through the year. I have seen old

will soon be able to pick up a big
bargain.
