PROHIBITION OR REGULATION FOR BRITISIMSLANDS Cannot Revert to Pre-War Conditions, Says D'Abernon Control Is Possible and Best. 1 HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE- 1 i i 1 1 1 1 London, Oct 3. (Correspond- ence .of Associated Press.) Britain mast choose between strict govern ment control of the liquor traffic or . absolute prohibition, in the opinion of Lord D'Abernon, chairman of the Liquor Control board. "If the question is considered boardly there are only two policies, control or prohibition," said Lord , D'Abernon. "Reversion to the old pre-war conditions would mean drunkenness, inefficiency, ill heaUh. "disease and the misery which has notoriusly resulted from drunken habits in the past. "I believe that control Is possible. " The experience of the war shows that temperance and efficiency can be obtained by regulation. I be lieve th liquor trade is susceptible to reform. Recent declarations by leaders in the trade, appear to me to warrant the belief that the new school in the brewing trade is gain ing a hearing, and that they have realized that the old methods of the anti-reform whole-hog indulgence advocates are no longer suitable to modern conditions. The same change is in evidence among li censed victuallers. I get many let ters frou them urging that there be ,no return to the old hours, during which their work lasted, 17 hours instead of six daily and when the conditions for public house servants were a scandal."

S., Reports C. of C. Omaha is third most healthful city in the United States, according to the publicity department of the , Chamber of Commerce report, is , sued last week. ."Few Omaha people reatize how healthy a City they live in," said Harvey Milliken, chairman of the bureau of publicity of the Chamber of Commerce. Out of the first six months Oma ha has had an average death rate of 11.6 per 1,000 persons. The most healthful city in the country is Spo kane, Wash., which has a death rate of 8 per v 1,000 population. Next comes Seattle, with a rate of 10.1, then Omaha, with 11.6.

Will Affiliate With - Canadian Organization " The recently organized Maple Leaf club of Omaha and district held a meeting Wednesday last in the Army and Navy club. A letter from the Army and Navy Veterans association of Canada regarding affiliation was placed before the meeting, and it was unanimously agreed that the club affiliate with that association.' The secretary was instructed to complete the arrange ments for a charter. There are still a number of Canadian ex-service men in this district whom the secre tary' Jias been unable to find. ' Secretary J. A. Neilson, 4368 Bur dette street, who was on the de mobilization staff of general head quarters, and is familiar with the working of that department, has offered to take charge o any claims that members may have against the government, and promises that every effort will be made towards getting ' a satisfactory settlement State Clothiers Plan Next Year's Convention The directors of the Nebraska State Clothiers' association met in Omaha Thursday and made plans for their .coming convention - in Omaha, February 4 to 6, 1920. Those -present were: S. M. Durfee, Pierce; A. W. Sterne,; Grand Island; N. C Holman, Lincoln; Oliver Olson, i Newman Grove; A. L, Galuska, Mc Cook, and Charles . C Wescott, Plattsmouth. ' - The Men's Apparel club of Ne braska will put on its usual big en tertainment in connection with the convention. Mike Kelley of Colum bus and Dan Dorsey of Omaha met with the clothiers to discuss" enter tainment plans. ' A special effort is to be made to Increase the attendance of women at the convention, and special enter tainment will be provided for them. . How would you like to be a school teacher? Not the comic supplement school inarm with scant hair and spectacles, plying her ferrule, . nor she who teaches school by bringing the class in percentage to the end of page 45 on th middle day or the month, and sends a note to the prin cipal telling, of this accomplishment, but a real live school teacher, a wide awake woman young or old who teaches nine or 10 subjects to nearly half a hundred eager young indi viduals, whether their eagerness be a thirst for knowledge or for mis- ehiel. The school teacher who dips into the possibilities of her work and realizes the dimensions of its op portunities is a very luckyindividual indeed, for to her comes the widest range of little intimacies with grow ing humanity, 'and the strongest in- fluence on the personalities strug gling to evolve themselves, that any person is privileged to experience. She may teach a little girl the gos pel of clean teeth and -finger nails and she may show a little bay how to make a relief map of the United States with salt and water; she may even have to sew' a button on his shirt or mend a three-cornered tear if she shakes him a bit too hard out on the playground. But if she is the sort ot a teacnerwno does inese things with exactly the same zest with which she listens to the spell ing lession or dismisses the class, she will be beloved of many young-' sters. Seventh Grade Interesting. The women who has the greatest responsibilities and privileges as a school teacher is the grammar school teacher, perhaps the one in the sixth or seventh grade, getting her pupils ready for the junior high, trying to pilot them through the uncertain days of their adolescence with the least discomfort and embarrassment to themselves and their comrades. Teachers above and below her have fewer subjects to teach and less try ing pupils to teach them to, for in the lower grades children are not yet personalities, and by high school time rhev are more settled and less obstreperous. High school boys are not apt to get a grouch and sulk for three clays at a time, nor require a shaking which will loosen the but tons on their shirts, but likewise are they jss interesting, asserts : the teache-of younger boys who some times has to apply vigorous methods. And it it always her boys the teacher tells you about first, hr boys in whom she is the most inter ested. When you ask her why, she gives you many reasons. Some say that boys are fairer, some that they -ire easier to handle, while many of the oiler teacher! admit that it is mostly sex attraction. But what ever the reason, their exists between a teacher and her "boys a sense of comradeship, which is rarer where her girls are concerned. However, both boys and girls vie with each other in bringing her flowers and paying her other little attentions until sometimes,; "teacher" has to bring a bunch of flowers to school for herself, to avoid the little ill feelings which might arise from put ting Susie's daisies on the corner of her desk and Robert's wild roses on the window sill. Must Teach Everything. -'You have to know everything to teach school in (he grades nowa days," said a- sixth grade teacher th other day and it is literally true. She teaches English in the form of reading, spelling, composition and writing, to the sons ot Italy, and countries further East as well as to sons of New England. She holds .classes in geography or history and then teaches them the beginning of scjence. But her duties do not end with the printed page, for she must teach them to draw and to sing, the latter being especially difficult when a half dozen of the boys in the room, possess voices wavering be tween soprano and bass, voices which any throat specialists will as sure you should never be used for 1 1 111 t " "7""" 'ffr' ' -"" J?4 singing. And after she has instruct ed her 40-odd charges' in all these accomplishments, the teacher must instruct them in the art of gymnas tics, leading them out one morning a week for a miniature field day, or a round of group games. How She Teaches "Science." Teachers are guided in their work by syllabi of the different courses, thoroughly and comprehensively prepared by the heads of the differ ent departments of the schools or by men and women among the prin cipals who have made themselves especially proficient in one subject But in their science and practical courses they teach from several text books at once, preparing the subject for presentation to the children in their own minds. This spring the elementary science course in the sixth grades of the city goes under the general name of gar dening, but it includes a great deal of botany, the essentials of garden ing, on a large or small scale, a bit of biology and the beginning of chemistry. Diminutive tomato plants of various ages bedeck the window sills and in one room there is a row of 'tiny pots filled with buckwheat, on which three different kinds of fertilizer have been used, and a fourth, which is a combination of the other three. " The children also have nlots of around outside the school buildings for practical gar dening. Next fall' in the seventh grade they will study the plants which they started this spring, from r the viewpoint of utility. Little Fun in School Teachers nowadays encourage their pupils in the keeping of note books and in watching magazines and newspapers for clippings akin to ' what they are studying. They (at , least some of them) encourage the children's social tendencies by giv . ing them a 20-minute period once a ' week or once in two weeks, in which they may entertain her and one an- other in the way they like best, whether it be charades, recitations, conundrums or even sleight-of-hand performances, if one of their num ber happens to be particularly gift- ed. ' In a word, teaching which used to be a most formal process has now become very informal, so informal, and consequently enjoyable, that the average modern youngster is wrap ped up in "school." But while it might seem an easier task to carry a room full of young people through the five hours of a school day where there is less strict rule and regulation, it probably in the olden days of 'readin,' ritin' takes more will power and influence to make the day run smoothly than in -the older days of "readin," ritin' and 'rithmetic." How It Feels to Face Class. The sensations experienced by dif ferent teachers as they face a room full of faces vary as widely as do the personalities of the teachers themselves.

But that feeling wears away with experience. A capable but comparatively young teacher said the other day: "Many times you really don't expect that what you are about to say is going to 'go' and you are surprised at the smoothness wiui wnicn your commands are obeyed." .However, that easy and flexible manner of facing a class and laughing with them, while bring ing them to order, is an accomplish-, ment attained only as a result of years of teaching, say those who know.' " ' " , Certain it is, that the conscious will power and force of personality are more strongly developed in school teachers than in other wom en, for where the mother of a family thinks her three children will drive her distracted, the teacher to whom she sends them for the most active of their waking hours, has 40 more just like them to manage. But a school teacher who loves truly her work and .is devoting all of her mind to it, faces her room full of faces new in the Tall and fresh every morning with a certain sense of expectancy of the clash and inter change of personalities to follow. About Parents. One matter in which teachers diffei widely is that of parents. Some women who are apparently success ful and popular teachers, think that the parents 'of their boys and girls are mind and prejudiced and feel that the parents blame them for the children's shortcomings and failures, while other teachers assert strongly that one of the most delightful things about teaching school is your relations with the mothers and fath ers. "Every mother is fair enough to see that there must be something wrong with the child who does not measure up to the standards of the teacher, even though she cannot see the weakness herself said one teacher who also declared that "Any teacher who does not establish sym pathetic relations with the parents, is either all worn out, or gone stale in teaching or else she is. teaching school merely to earn a living." "A maneuver employed by teachers which seems to have successful re sults is that of sending for the mother of a boy or girl who is prov ing refractory or doing poor work and talking the matter over. Moth ers' clubs prove a splendid Oppor tunity for teacher and parent to be come acquainted. "But after all, you can learn more of the family history from the child himself in five min utes than you could any other way," said one sixth-grade teacher, "they like to tell you just what is going on at home as they see it, and what they did over Sunday, but we have to shut them off often, 'because if we listened to it all there would be no time for school." .. - Does She Talk Shop? The more a school teacher studies that she may present facts attrac lively to her children, the more she is eager to know, so that further study v through correspondence courses, summer school work and university extension classes is com mon, narticularlv anions teachers. And the' school teacher who loves her work rarely has any life except that of the schoolroom and its sur roundings. Even if she foregoes talking shoo outside, she is interest ed mainly in learning more, always to know more being her ambition. "A school t teacher knows too much," was the statement made by one of them the other day. "She is so well versed in practical knowl- cdee of eycry kind and the ways and wherefores of things that she simply cannot take any pleasure in the company of a perfectly nice book keeper or stenographer who is get ting half as much again salary as she is, but who knows nothing about what is goinsr on outside the city and who would run a mile from a book of essays. Although the lines drawn by con vention today about the goings and comings, of the school marm are far less strict'than they were some years ago, still -she nas to tninic twice or three times betore she goes to a dance or does anything out of the customary routine of her life, until in the end she loses the desire. But after all. why should any wo man cine for the ordinary forms of amusement, when she has a class of children to watch and guide, who will dramatize "Robinson Crusoe," and picture that well known hero standing on the crest of the island alone while he surveys the horizon and remarks in blase tone's, "Oh, dear, I have been on the island for 23 years without seeing any sav ages, !ut perhaps I haven t iookcq around enough.
