Colonel Hall Tells How
To Address Letters to Boys
- (From a Staff Corroapondant)
Lincoln, Jan. 11. -(Special.) Far
ties addressing letters to their friends
in military contonments should ad
dress them directly to the camp, leav
ing out the name of the town or city
located near the camp, according to a
letter received ly Governor Neville
from Colonel Phil Hall at Camp
Cody. This will insure immediate de
livery. For instance, mail should be ad
dressed "Frivate John Doe, Battery
A, 127th F. A:, Camp Cody, New
Mexico, leaving out "Deming" in the
direction entirely. ("F. A. stands
for Field Artillery.)
Colonel Hall says that friends of
the boys should be very, generous
with their letter writing, as nothing
cheers ' so much as a letter from
"home" or from a friend. What ap
plies to Camp Cody will equally apply
to other camps.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Jan. 11. (Special.) Re
organization of the State Teachers'
association is recommended by the
School Principals' club of Lincoln, in
a statement adopted at a meeting to
day. Superintendent Jesse Newlon of
this city said it was "high time the
association was placed on a profes
sional basis so that all teachers could
belong." ;
The statement, in part, follows:
"We, the principals of the Lincoln
schools, believe it imperative that im
mediate steps be taken by the teach
ers of Nebraska to recognize the
State Teachers' association in order
that that body may reach all the
teachers of the state and be respson
sixe to them. ,
"These conditions in Nebraska are
in striking contrast with those of
states like Iowa, in which member
ship in a sectional association carries
with it membership in the state as
sociation, or Colorado, where the
state association meets in three sec
tions. In these states it is possible
for every teacher to hare in the bene
fits of the state associations. Ne
braska should not lag behind a move
ment that is becoming nation-wide
and has received the sanction of the
national education association."
