Father Reilly of Creighton De
mands More Interest From
Teachers and People In
Public Affairs. " 1
Rer. F. X. Reilly of Creighton
university, speaking yesterday before
the literature section of the Nebras
ka State Teachers' association in the
Central high school, on the subject,
"Which Classics Should Be retained
in Secondary Schools," said that
there are two divisions that could
be taken up in the teaching of Eng
lish, either a broader and more gen
eral class or a specific and definite
plan.
"Teachers are too much in the
habit of teaching what they like
instead of what appeals to the stu
dent," he said. "Many of the sub
jects go over the students' heads.
Subjects that have a natural interest
should be chosen. ,
"Unless the student enjoys the
subject he is studying there will be
poor results. Both the student and
teacher should decide that what
they are studying is the most im
portant thing in the world. Work
that fits the caliber of the student
should be assigned to him."
In closing his talk Father Reilly
urged that teachers, as well as the
public, should take more interest
in public affairs, particularly in elec
tions. "The small number of votes that
were cast in Omaha at the election
Tuesday was worse than the lynch
ing that occurred in this city a few
weeks ago. Thousands more sliould
have gone to the polls.
"Unless more interest is shown
in the elections and the public
understand the policies of the dif
ferent candidates they will be un
able to discuss the affairs of the
city and government when they are
put up before the people'
Prof. O. H. Venner, of Lincoln,
addressed the meeting on the "So
cial Meaning of Literature in the
High school." Other speakers at
the morning session of the litera
ture section were John G. Neihardt,
American poet of , Bancroft, on
"Poetry and Its Place-in Education,"
and Lowry C. Wimherly, University
of Nebraska, on "Classification by
Exemrnation of College Freshmen
in English."
Dr. Homer E. House of Peru,
was elected president of this sec
tion and Miss Bertha Neale of
Beatrice, secretary treasurer. Ralph
Noyer of Kearney, was selected -.as
council member to the national
council of English teachers.

LIQUOR THIEVES
IN TWO RAIDS ON
OMAHA BASEMENTS
One Successful, Others Escape
Empty-Handed Under '
Fire.
Liquor thieves invaded two Om
ha homes Wednesday night, making
a successful raid on one and escap
ing from the other under shotgun
fire.
The robbers made their getaway
from the home of Henry Hiller, re
tired liquor merchant, 3521 Farnam
street, sometime during the night,
after stealing more than $500 worth
of choice wines and whiskies, ac
cording to Mr. Hiller. Police have
received no report of the theft.
Entrance was gained through a
basement window by means of a
"jimmy," evidence showed. A heavy
steel door leading jnto the wine cel
lar was forced open Mr. Hiller said.
The thieves took everything in the
line of liquor except two bottles of
beer, he declared.
All the liquor had been stored in
Hiller's home before the state went
dry, he said. The loot consisted of
two cases of champagne, two cases
of whisky, a case of beer and a box
of assorted wines, according to Mr,
Hiller.
Family Was Asleep.
The family was asleep at the time
of the robbery, Mr. Hiller stated.
It was not learned whether the
thieves used an automobile truck
as in the case of three recent rob
beries of liquor from the residences
of Louis Nash, Charley Garvey and
E. C. Goudard.
Fred Busch, 831 Pine street, be
lieves he shot one of two unidenti
fied burglars, escaping from his
basement yesterday morning at 2:30,
according , to police reports.
' Escaped Under Fire. ' '
He told the police he heard a
noise in his basement, got up and
secured his shotgun, and when the
men appeared fired at them twice.
Both men escaped.
"I know I hit one of them,"
Busch told police.
A door leading into a wine cellar
in Busch's home was "jimmied,"
the police report states. Several
cases of whisky and wine were in
the place, police have learned. '
Long Line of Buyers Waits
To Get Municipal Potatoes
The second sale of potatoes by
the city was ' held with a rush at
the city hall yesterday morning,
with a long line of patrons waiting
at the opening hour at 9. The line
in the alley east of the city hall be
came so congested that it was di
vided and some of the applicants
ent to the city council chamber
where orders were taken.
A car of Minnesota white potatoes
was sold at $1.70 per bushel within
a few hours. An extra charge of
10 cents per bushel was made on
all orders delivered.

sentative on the council of the

Lightning Artist
Paints for Teachers
, At Brandeis Stores
Think of having a beautiful land
scape or marine scene oil painting
done before your very eyes. That's
what Artist G. H. Kay is doing at
Brandeis Stores in the basement.
He is dashing off oil colors in a way
that is fascinating and draws large
crowds. Several teachers from the
teachers' convention were admiring
onlookert. t
"Say! But he's a wonder," ob
served one of the teachers. "Now,
if I could turn out pupils as fast
as he can turn out pictures 1 d teei
perfectly happy. And tell me, will
you, why isn t a picture painted
quick like that just as good as one
you would pay $1,000 for? And thenJ
too, you can say thafyou had seen
the artist paint it."
Mr. Kay is commonly known as
the "Lightning Artist." He has in
vented a medium to use with oil
colors that is said to play an im
portant part with, the speed and
ease with which he works. It is of
course, a secret, and all his paint
flows onto the board with surpris
ing ease. If you would care to see
an oil painting developed before
your own eyes, here's your chance.
