nullified Ty attempting to absorb
the radicalism. , The country is ap
pealed to further concede in order to
avoid the extremity of anarchy. In
other words, defeat bolshevism by
embracing it.
"Even today such men as Gompers
serve notice on the congress that
an anti-strike law would not be
obeyed. That harks back to 1916:
when congress was told if we passed
a law compelling arbitration the
brotherhoods would pay no atten
tion to it.but take their own course,
no matter what decision the supreme
court might reach.
"The Adamson law was sowing to
the wind. ;We are now reaping thu
harvest. Vr.
Now Reach Climax.
"Radicalism, demanded in the steel
strike the closed shop. The Ameri
can spirit is to permit a man to work
even though he may not belong to a
union. . .
"The conference in Washington,
railed to deal with principle, broke
on an individual case which was not
in existence when the conference
was called. ' This item upon which
the break came was the question of
the open shop.
"Since ' November 11, 1918, we
have had! over 3,000 strikes, great
and small
"The climax is now before us.
Half a million coal miners have gone
out. .They have demanded 6 hour,
day, 5-day week and a wage increase
of 60 per cent. Coal mining re
duced td 30 hours per week at the
moment when the high cost of liv
ing, which is almost-prohibitive, can
not be reduced except by increas
ing production, is so unamerican
that it, will demand and-receive gov
ernment action. '
'.: : Issue Is Made.
"The vicious circle of demanding
higher costs and less production in
order to meet the increase of living
when every such grant will further
increase1 the cost level, must re
ceive rigid treatment at the hands
of the government
"Felloe teachers, we have had the
issue made for us. In spite of the
request of the president to defer the
steel strike it was called. In spite
of the warning of the president the
coal strike is on. The government
cannot enter 'upon vthe details of
every contract between employer
and employe. That is for the courts
in regular process. As a congress
we could, not interfere with con
tracts except to insure public health
and public order.
"However, there is one thing that
the government will take notice of,
It will see to it that the people will
not free?. It will also prevent uni
versal 'suffering from the closing
down of all industries dependent
upon cpaL It will see that coal is
mined..' If any class of workers are
foolish'1 enough to make a test as
to whether they are stronger than
the government, let it be made now,
It,fiay as well be settled 'now once
for -all. ;. . '
t Will Do Part. .
"The 'government will do its part.
We have a program of legislation
to be completed in the near future
"Congress has already authorized
all alien enemies interned deported.
Jt has ilso taken' steps to prevent
further importation qf bolshevism
here. Ai committee is ready to re
pott a measure to deport all those
who withdrew their first papers of
naturalization to avoid the draft in
order to remain here and profit out
of the war.; I
"The: senate is now ready to con
sider a proposition of punishment of
all preachers of anarchy and forcible
opposition to the government Con
gress is also seriously contemplating
closing the doors" to all immigration
for a fixed period of time. '
"I appeal to the teachers to or
ganize for. a sympathetic and inten
sive campaign to emphasize the
meaning of Americanism. I appeal
tc the boards of education to see to
it thatVnb man or woman not in
sympathy with our American ideals
and institutions shall be allowed a
place in the public schools. I also
urge that English be made the lan
guage to be taught. I' also hope that
the trustees of every college and uni
versity will exclude from the faculty
every man or woman who is out of
harmony with our country's institu
tions of government. We must en
list the' assistance of the churches,
the civil and business organizations
and all. agencies of public opinion
as the .newspapers and magazines in
promoting an intelligent conception
of the real meaning of American
ism., '.' - i
; Work with Children. .
Miss Patty Hill of Columbia uni
versity, famous all over the country
for her kindergarten methods, spoke
on "Kindergartens of Yesterday and
Tomorrow," illustrating her lecture
with stereopticon pictures.
"Education of young children in
the past has been repressive, she
said. "Our methods today are just
the opposite. We teach children to
teach themselves and even to teach
each other.
"'The tendency to romp and play
and throw things is not opposed.
Rooms-and parapharnalia are sup
plied for those purposes. And when
this youthful energy has been ex
pended the child is ready to put his
mind on intellectual training.
i Need More Light.
"There are too many children in
our school rooms, and too little dec
oration "and too little light
"Children should not be taught
to do the same thing in the same
way. That is a relic of Prussianism.
Some ' children at 5 are the equals
of other children at 8 years of age.
Nature has taken infinite pains to
make no two human beings alike.
And in the past kindergartens have
beeh striving to undo this work and
make them, as much alike as possi
ble. "These new methods of kindergar
ten work' have been extended now
as far as the Fourth grade with
amazing results."
Up to 10 o'clock last night 3,314
teachers had registered at head

Convention SidelightsTeachers Must
;. Have Better Pay Is Unanimous Opinion
"The school people of Nebraska
are proud of this wonderful bond
victory in Omaha," said Jesse
H. Newlon, superintendent of the
Lincoln schools and a member of
the executive committee of the Ne
braska state teachers' association
now in session here. "It speaks
volumes for Omaha as a progressive
school city, and for the administra
tion of Supt J. H. Beveridge. The
school interests throughout the en
tire couiitry .will be forwarded be
cause of it, and particularly will
cities be benefited where school
bonds are now being considered.
We carried $2,000,000 in Lincoln
June 24 by a three to one vote and
we have a good program for its
expenditure. Some of the construc
tion will include ideas advanced by
Dr. H. B. Alexander of the Uni
versity of Nebraska in his book,
"Letters to Teachers."
Facing Teacher Shortage.
A. A. Reed, state high school in
spector, and director of the univer
sity extension department since
1907, belives that Nebraska, in com
mon with the other states of; our
country, is facing a serious crisis in
shortage of teachers.' Mr. Reed's
department has, chrage of securing
teachers for the schools.
"This situation," according to
Mr. Reed, '!is made acute by the
great increase in attendance in
schools of all trades. To relieve
.thisit is imperative that the field
' r . t. : . i.
ui leaguing uc uiduc am aiLivc uum
to teachers and students in higher
institutions. It is not merely a
question of (higher salaries; teach
ing positions must be based on a
12-months' school year, must be
more permanent, and provision must
be made for a reasonable basis of
retirement in case of disability or
old age. We are not holding or at
tracting into the service the highest
grade of young people, and the na
tion will suffer if education is al
lowed to go into the, care of an in
ferior teaching body."
Vocational Work Growing.
Clark A. Fulmer, state director of
vocational education and former
chancellor of Wesleyan university,
says the vocational work in Nebras
ka is growing' rapidly.
"C. W. Watson, state supervisor
of agricultural education; Miss Alice
Loomis, state supervisor of home
economics education, and L. A.
Hartley, state supervisor of trade
and industrial education, are part of
the increasing staff in this branch
of work," Mr. Fulmar volunteered.
"We have 42 courses in vocational
home economics and in 31 different
schools we have vocational courses
in agriculture.
"You have a fine trade school in
connection with the Omaha Com
mercial High school. In Lincoln
we have evening classes in trade and
industrial work.
"Iowa has a great state teachers'
association and their org&nization
is very strong. They have a total
membership of nearly 30,000, and all
work very closely together for bet
ter things. Our Nebraska member
shp is about 5,000. In Iowa they
have one general and several district
meetings. The meetings are held in
Des Moines. A strong feature of
their organization is the employ
ment of a salaried secretary who
works constantly for the Interest of
the association. That body issues
its own teachers' paper."
Suggests District Meetings.
"Our organization is S3 years
old," said Miss Ruth Pyrtle, speak
ing of the Nebraska State Teachers'
association now in session in Oma
ha, "and I think this will be the
most important session we have
ever held because of the reconstruc
tion work and the readjustments
made necessary because of post-war
conditions." ... ,
Miss Pyrtle. is principal of Mc
Kinley pre-Vocational school at
Lincoln and was active in Y.. W.
C. A. work during the war, having
served as a general secretary at
Des Moines, in charge of Y. W. C
A. hospital and camp work. In
her opinion the association ought to
be divided into districts, two, or
four, in the state, so that the an
nual meetings can be made of
wider benefit tothe great body of
teachers.
!'We have 12,500 teachers in -Nebraska,"!
she declared, "and outside
of Omaha and Lincoln,' only 25 per
cent of the total number can attend
these splendid meetings. We could
bring big speakers t' into the state,
and hold all district meetings within
a period of 10 days and thereby be
enabled to 'pass around' the strong
attractions.: The principals and
teachers could have one general
meeting; they are a smaller body
and could more easily assemble in
one place." "
Former State Superintendent W.
K. Fowler, now associate editor of
The "Nebraska Teacher, and George
L. Towne, editor of that publication,
are attending sessions of the asso
ciation. .
Other promineht school workers
seen at the Wednesday morning
meeting, were C. K. , Morse of the
university faculty, in charge okthe
agricultural school at Curtis, Glenn
L. Hefner, principal of the high
school at Osceola, Principal D. M.
Sloper of Hallam, Superintendent
W. H. Stembach of Fairbury and
J. F. Duncan, state inspector of
normal training in the high schools.
There is considerable discussion
of the subject of dividing the large
state body into sections or districts.
Miss Bertha Enyart, superintendent
of schools at Fort Calhoun, says
this question would have come up
last year had tha state meeting not
been called off ten account of the
influenza epidemic. She says the
matter will be brought to a vote on
Friday, and in her opinion there is
some indication that a division will
take place, two conventions to be
held in the future instead of one.
Would Kill Basket Ball
Another live topic before the
meeting relates to basket ball. There
are prominent school men who be
lieve the annual high school basket
ball tournament should, be abol
ished, and equally prominent and
determined leaders who think its
ultimate effect is a good one. At
11 this morning, following a
sectional meeting on physical edu
cation, this question will be threshed
out and the arguments promise to
be interesting.
Interested in Folks.
Herbert frownell, professor at
the University of Nebraska, was one
of the prominent 'educators seen
Wednesday afternoon. When asked
what interested him most he said:
"Just folks. I have been in Nebras
ka 27 years and many of the people
I meet here are former students of
mine. It is a good reunion for me."
Locating Teachers.
W. N. Delzell, vice president of
Peru, says there is a decided move
ment under way for the purpose of
inducing more people to take up the
teachinsr nrofession, Mr. Delzell. as
a field man, has charge of locating
teachers, and he says the shortage
amounts to a serious thing.
Peru Teachers Coming.
J. B. Shouse, superintendent of the
training school in Peru normal, says
that most of the faculty from there
will attend- the Omaha meetings.
"We have closed school so they can
come."
far Across State.
"Our organization is as good as
ever," said R. I: Elliot, ' president
of Chadron normal, with his charac
teristic enthusiasm. "Y.es, we need
more teachers in the profession.
Our enrollment at Chadron is the
best ever. Including our training
school, we have 500 students. T. R.
Crawford, superintendent of the city
schools at Chadron, and high school
Lteachers from Hemingford and Hay
bprings came ail rne way across me
state to attend' this meeting."
ber exceeding , all previous figures
for the first day of the convention.
At the last previous convention, two
years ago, only 2,300 had registered
at the close of the first day.
"We are now assured," said Pres
ident Gregg in making the an
nouncement at the Auditorium,
"that this year's registration will
pass the 5,000 mark."
- A .large sounding board installed
in the Auditorium by the. bureau of
publicity of the"" Chamber of Com
merce improved the acoustics ofvthe
big building noticeably.. ' . -
Smith-Towner Bill.
' Congressman Fess, speaking yes
terday morning before the teachers,
discussed the Smith-Towner bill.
"The bill," said Congressman
Fess, "provides for a department
of education in the cabinet and an
appropriation of $100,000,000 a year.
Of this sum $50,000,000 is to be
used for increasing the pay of
teachers and the other $50,000,000
for training of teachers, American
ization of foreigners and reduction
of adult illiteracy. j
Is Fiercely Opposed.
"It will be fiercely opposed be
cause ol the $50,000,000 appropria
tion for increasing teachers' pay. If
the government is to subsidize
teachers, it will be argued, it should
subsidize all other salaried people,
for all salaried people are suffer
ing from the present high cost of
living. . .
"It may be that this provision will
be removed from the bill, in which
event I think the bill will pass with
the appropriation for teacher train
ing, Americanization of foreigners
and reduction of adult illiteracy.
Says Law is Success.'
"The refraining of disabled sol
diers, provided--for. in. the law of
1918 is also a success. For this
$21,000,000 has been appropriated.
An additional $35,000,000 will be "re
quired to complete the work.
"The house and senate have
passed another re-educational bill
which extends this federal aid to
men and women injured and crippled ,
in industry. This is an extension
of the Smith-Hughes bill and will
be, carried out in co-operation with
the states."
Leon O. Smith, assistant superin
tendent of the Omaha schools, ex
plained the modern methods used
in measuring efficiency in the
schools. He told how the children
are tested by methods similar to
those used in the' army during the
war and how they are graded ac
cording to their 1 mental efficiency
revealed through these tests,
. Plan Wage Increase.
Fifty-five men, all superintendents
or principals of schools in Nebraska,
promptly subscribed $5 each to a
fund to get accurate statistics on the
cost of living for- teachers in Ne
braska. " 4 A:
The subscriptions were made after
J. A. tDoremus, superintendent of
schools of Aurora, Neb., had pre
sented statistical report and J. N.
Stoddard of Beatrice had declared
Wat teachers are .actually suffering
because the lack of statistics on the
cost of living prevents many of them
from getting increases in salaries
from school boards.
"When the teachers state to direc
tors of Schools that they must have
more salary, they are asked how
much i.t costs them to live. They
can give no accurate reply," ' said
Professor Stoddard. "Statistcs
should also be secured to show
whether boards are able to afford to
give their respective teachers higher
salaries."
Into Nine Sections.
Today and Friday the con
vention will break up into nine sec
tions, which will hold meetings
simultaneously in churches . and
school buildings. ,
The meetings, tonight and tomor
row morning will be held
in the municipal Auditorium.
The convention will close with
a grand concert in the Auditorium
Friday evening, when Mme. Helen
Stanley. - soorano. and Jacques
Thibaud, violinist," will appear be
fore the teachers.

Girl Victim of Negro
Assault Faints in Court

who found Miss Kroupa m ths
weeds after the negro had aban
doned her. Mr. Kerrell identified
Johnson as the negro he had seen
in the vicinity of the( assault just
before he found the girl where she
was left bound and gagged after
being outraged. ' . -
"I was returning to my work as
a stenographer in The Bee build
jng," declared Miss Kroupa. "I had
gone home to lunch and it was 12:30
o'clock when I met the negro near
Tenth and Canton streets. I was
walking in an opposite direction and
saw the man before heireached my
side, "l had no reason to suspect
there was an evil, purpose in the
man's mind, and th first intimation
I had "of his object was when he
seized me.
Struggles in Vain.
"I struggled, but my strength was
of no avail. I tried to cry out, and
he stuffed a handkerchief in my
mouth. He dragged me about 100
feet down the embankment into the
weeds. He then tied my hands with
a rope. The handkerchief was kefct
in my mouth and I was helpless. It
seemed like ages I was .held there.
The negro went 'away once and
came back to me again.
"It is too terrible to tell. It is
too awful to even think about."
When Mr. Howell took the wit
ness ha began to question her about
the location of streets in the vicinity

Want Injunction Dismissed.
The restraining order issued by
Federal Judge Anderson at Indian-J
apohs last week was made return
able Saturday. The miners' counsel
will go into court then and ask fc
dismissal of all proceedings. One
of two things will happen:
The court, according to officials,
either will grant tle plea of the
miners or issue a permanent injunc
tion carrying with it a mandatory
order to John L. Lewis,' acting pres
ident of the miners' organization, to
call off the strike.
Whatever the court does, it is ex
pected 'to be the next important
move bearing on the question of set
tling the strike.
Would Wipe Slate Clean.
Miners? reoresentatives and other
labor leaders emphasized today that
withdrawal of court proceedings
would bring peace to the coal fields
within 4 hours. Lewis statement
that the miners would be willing to
negotiate a new wage scale "with-,
out reservations meant, they said,
that the slate would be wiped clean
and demands for a five-day week
and a six-honr day together with a
60 per cent wage increase with
drawn. But labor leaders declared
there was no hope of miners return
ing to work in a body until the new
agreement had been ratified. ,
President Wilson, sick in bed, is
sued orders giving Fuel Administra
tor Garfield , authority to regulate
price, distribution and shipment of
all fuel, 'including anthracite. This
action restored all powers vested in
Dr. Garfield during the war. The
fuel administrator was in conference
continually today, checking up on
the coal s'npply and arranging with
Director General Hines of the rail
road administration for its distribu
tion where most needed.
Another Proposal1.
Indianapolis, Nov. 5. William
Green, secretary-treasurer of the
United Mine Workers of America,
today suggested as a means of set
tling the strike of coal miners, that
the government arrange for a con
ference of miners and operators and
"command them to reach an agree
ment." "The real way to settle the strike
is for the government to brihg ail
its moral and legal influence toward
bringing the operators and miners
together and command them to
reach an agreement," Mr. Green's
statement said. "This is the prac
tical way to get the mines started."
Portuguese Monarchal

Madrid, Nov. 5. A Portuguese
monarchical movement has been ob

and it is suspected that preparations
are being made for a renewal of the
agitation to return former ' King
Manuel tov the throne, says EI Lib
eral. The newspaper adds that
the, Spanish authorities have taken
steps to prevent any preparations
for a coup being made on Spanish
territory.
Mr. Howell's inquiries were con
cerning the location and names of
streets. The physical 'strength of
the witness seemed almost exhausted
before the attorney directed his ex
amination to matters of more im
portance. Sure of Man.
Every possible effort was made
to get Miss Kroupa to state that
she was not sure of Johnson's iden
tity, 'she retused to do so.
"I know he is the man," she in
sisted., "I would know him any
where. The picture of those features
and that awful face will never fade
from my mind as long as I live. I
would that I could forget it, but I
can t. s ,
When court convenes this morn
ing the state will introduce' other
witnesses who, it is said, will testify
to having seen Johnson in the vicin
ity where Miss Kroupa was as
saulted the day the crime was com
mitted. According to members of
County Attorney ShotweH's force,
even stronger testimony against the
prisoner than that suhittmed yester
day will be introduced before the
trial ends. '
It is expected that the case will be
given to the jury late today.

It is not unnatural that each
dealer will tell you that he
ells the bt pianos at the
lowest prices. But a there
can be but one BEST place,
it's up to you to choose.
Consider the following
facts and see if your better .
judgment will not tell you to deal AT THE LITTLE MUSIC
STORE that does a big business, for the following particular
reasons: V
FIRST We buy for spot cash the pianos which we know
to be the best made, namely, the Kurtzmann, Weber, Geo. Steck,
Conover, Haddorff, Cable, Clarendon, etc.
SECOND We mark each piano at its one lowest Cash
price.
THIRD We do not pay commissions to any one under any
circumstances.
FOURTH Our nearest and dearest friend could not buy
an instrument here for one penny less than you can.
, FIFTH Not only each piano at one price, but the best
piano FOR that price. i
Being just outside the high rent district our overhead is
mall.
Come and investigate. We have a beautiful stock to se
lect from.
