AMY WOULD SHOW
YOUTH HOW TO SHOOT
Chancellor of State University
Tells What Are Needs of
the School of Today.
TEACHERS GIVE IDEAS
"If I had a son of my own," said
Chancellor Samuel Avery of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, in addressing the
convention of the Nebraska State
Teachers' association this morning at
the Auditorium, "I should wish him
among other things to learn during
his school period, following some
what the sentiments of the ancient
Persians, 'To speak the truth, to obey
orders and to shoot straight.' "
The chancellor explained that there
is much difference of opinion as to
what extent the American school
should give the future citizens an
elementary knowledge of military
science, or to what extent they should
actually train the boy in the arts of
:' war, but declared this would be his
personal wish for his son, if he had
one.
"The American schools have felt
the need of a greater national life,"
he said., "In a word, we have all
come to feel that the melting pot
' should be heated a little hotter and
stirred more vigorously. We Jiave all
been profoundly regretful that Amer
icans citizens should become violent
partisans on one side or the other
of the great European conflict." .
Where Schools Fail.
. . Touching the national defense sit
uation, he said: "Even the problem
of national defense falls ultimately
for solution upon the schools."
The chancellor's subject was "Edu
cational Tendencies' . -
"The discussion of what to teach
and why is endless," he added. "The
things which are intensely a matter
of bread and butter today may become
purely cultural in the next generation,
and obsolete in the third. We see this
progress in many human institutions
;, with which we have to deal, Archi
tects tell as that marble columns were
suggested by the sight of trees
stripped of the bark and used to sup
port primitive buildings,
"So it is in education. Education
is at first somewhat unconsciously
- practical, then more or less traditional
and then a revolt follows to make it
consciously practical. We are in the
third stage today. The trend of edu
cation is more or less toward the con
sciously practical; perhaps I should
say toward the obviously practical.
Against the studies which do not
seem justified by the experience of
modern life, both youth and age re
: bel." - ' . '
The speaker declared that Prescott,
the historian, and Lowell, the poet,
has both been failures at learning
mathematics, but had succeeded in
developing their special genius in
spite of the stiff curriculum in the
schools of their day.' ,
To Train Girls. ' !
Mary S. Woolman of Boston, mem
ber of the executive committee of
, the National Society for the Promo
tion of Industrial Education! spoke
o the training of girls and women'
for the trades and Industries. She
? (Jilted out that there are today
,000,000 women in the trades and in
dustries, and she pointed to the great
work women are doing in Europe to
day. . "They are running hospitals,"
she said, and driving ambulances,
working long hours and showing
themselves to be capable of things
we have thought them physically un
til to accomplish."
She declared that in general econo-
mie pressure had called woman from
. th homes to the market, and that
thjre is little reason to expect any
lessening of thia condition. Important
iii.lustries require the skill and deft
ness which women can give.
Women Needed in Industries.
'It ha been shown that women
are needed in industry, and yet one
hears continually that the training of
thfm for it ia not a serious necessity.
With this I wish to take issue. The
Influence of the dull, unskilled and
underpaid task of the untrained girl
worker, the blight of over-fatigue, and
the natural impulse of youth to go
the extreme of excitement as a relief,
ire a menace to our future."
She recommended industrial courses
in the schools and evening schools
' for the older workers, who are unable
to leave their jobs now to take day
1 courses.' -.u i '
Ear! -Barnes of Philadelphia quoted
figures to the teachers to prove this
is not and never will be a young man's
world as it has at times been said to
be. . "To do great things one must
atudy and be prepared, and it takes
time to prepare," he said. "The only
people who attain greatness exclu
sively in youth are base ball pitchers
and pugilists, also a few of the lyric
, writer, such as Shelley and Keats."
The speaker named a lot of noted
men who attained greatness and lead
ership in the latter years of their
lives. He pointed out in this con-
, nection Joefire, Lord Fisher, Von
Hindenburg, Mackensen, who are all
past 60 or past 70. He said that
Chailcs Elliott, the distinguished
school man's, most radical and noted
books were published after he was
70. He showed by figures that the
age m life when one-third of the
world's great things had been done
is between 60 and 70. ; ,
: Agee of Man. -.
Of 400 great men whose names
were listed, he show that 4 per cent
had attained greatness under 40 years
of age; 10 per cent between 40 and 50
yer of age; 24 per cent between SO
J'0; 35 P cent between 60 and
, 70; 21 per cent between 70 and 80; 6
per cent between 80 and 90.
The resolutions of the association
were ; adopted at the close of the
morning session without a fight on a
single point recommended by the
:ommittee, consisting of H. K. Wolfe
A H. Waterhouse, C. A. Fullmer. H.
H. Hahn, Sarah V. Taylor and At
leen Gantt.
In the resolutions the association
. recommended to every teacher the
itudy of the educational creed of Dr.
jonn Dewey; declared in favor of
greatly increased appropriations for
, :he schools for the deaf and blind and
iirainst the nnlitir.l vv;a;,..i. .l..
t -nay render expert instructors in
ibese school insecure in their tenure:
favors more complete recognition for
the technical and professional char
acter of normal schools, and to this
end urged greater appropriations to
iiiaxc increases salaries possible to
the heads of departments in the state
normal schools; declared in favor of
having the state assume a consider
able share of the burden of supporting
high schools, so that every child in
Nebraska should have free access to
a four-year high school without bur
dening his home district; favored a
requirement for a teacher equivalent
to a four-year high school course at
least; deplored the wide circulation
of a report of the Russell Sage
Foundation to the effect that Ne
braska has dropped down to twenti'
tth among the states in the union
educationally; wished the statement
either confirmed or denied by an in
'restigation; and declared for revised
tpelling as adopted by the National
Educational association.
