LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
Word Pictures Of What May Be Expected
Daring Twentieth Century
PREACHERS ALL TAKE A HOPEFUL VIEW
SunctiHcd Thinking Destined 10 Take
n More Prominent Part In the
Christian Education of
Men and women.

The Twentieth Century meeting at the
Seward Street Methodist Episcopal church
Tuesday night was not as well attended as
the excellence OF the program warranted,
but despite the cold there were 100 or more
present. Dr. MaNfeld having been detained
else where, DR., Leonard of North Platte
presided. DR.. Wharton OF st. Paul's church,
Lincoln, opened the meeting with prayer
and the chairman then introduced Dr. d.
w. Huntington, who spoke on the "Twen-
tieth Century and Education
The doctor spoke substantially as follows
"The world in which we now live is not the
world in which we we're born. From the
lightning rod of Benjamin Franklin the
world has advanced to the modern inven-
tiOns Of telegraphy, telephony and the cleo
trio Photographs and motors. In the field
of steam, electricity and air dozens of such
inventions have appeared during the CEN
tury.
1T is hard to believe that 100 years ago
there were but three banks in the United
States: that two mail coaches carried all
the mail between New York and Boston and
that stoves were unknown.

''1f the changes during the last century
have been wonderful along material lines
they have been no less so along educational
lines. From the educational revolution OF
the past we may foretell the educational
advancement of the future century. But no
man can say what educational progress Will
be made during the next century. Still, we
will be safe in predicting that the century
yes, the beginning Of the century, will see
compulsory education of our children; the
abolition of the child labor in the sweat
shop: and we may hope for the settlement
of the controversy of capital and labor
through the agency of Chrst's church, The
matter of expense in connection with our
public schools will be less emphasized and
we may hope for the total abolition of that
system OF school taxation, diabolcal in its
results and infamous in it's invention the
utilization of liquor licenses for the school
fund.
"The idea that only a few may become
scholars, or even rise above medocrity in
intellectual development, will be done away
with. The time and labor of the teacher
will be spent more upon the lazy and shift
less scholar who is greatly more in need
of attention. The teacher OF the twentieth
century will be better trained and equipped
mentally for the task. greater proportion
of our children will secure the advantage of
the higher education, for sifted and sancti-
fed thinking is evidently destined to take
a more prominent part in the Christian edu-
cation of the future

There was no discussion of the matter
when the committee submitted its papers
to Mr. Dickinson. He was asked TO CON
slider the proposition and to give the oper-
ators an answer at an early date, which he
promised to do, and the committee then
withdrew Mr.. Dickinson afterward, when
asked about the matter said he had not yet
examined the papers and did not know what
they contained. He said he was expecting
no such action on the part of any of the
employees and did not know that he had even
heard the telegraphers were in session In
the city.
Members of the committee We're visited
at their headquarters, but they declined to
give out anything for publication They
took the ground that up to the present time
it was simply peaceful negotiation be-

Demand Made Upon the Union Pacific by the
Telegraphers.
MATTER WILL Be GIVEN CONSIDERATION
Negotiations Are Peaceful, BcinS sim
ply Between the Employer ON one
Side and the Employees on
the Other.

Tuesday afternoon the executive committee
of the order OF Railway Teceraphcrs Of the
Union Pacific system which has been in
session in this city for nearly three weeks,
presented proposition to the managers Of
the Union Pacific road asking certain CON
cessons TO the telesraphers.
The committee, which is composed OF ten
members. representing every division of the
Union Pacific system. has been unusually
secretive in its deliberations and, while 1t
has been hinted that these demands might
be made. IL was not known when the action
would be taken. The committe had large
, amount of other business to transact and
proceeded deliberately and carefully with tho
formulation OF its demands upon the road,
The books of the secretary and treasurer Of
the order were checked UP and some other
necessary routine business attended to, but
the most important of its worl, has been to
reach an agreement upon the proposition
it was to present TO the railroad company
To facilitate the work of the committee
Grand Chief Powell Of the order of Railway
Telegraphers was called here from Peoria
for consultation on the disputed points and
he remained in the city several days. 1t is
believed the committee was prepared to sub
nit it's proposals several days ago, but
President Burt and General Manager Dick
inson Of the Union Pacific were out of the
city and the committee had to wait until
their return. They returned last week and
yesterday afternoon Mr.. Dickinson was
waited upon by the committee and presented
with copy of the proposition the telegraph
ers wished to have accepted.
1t is not known definitely what the prop
ostion contains, but it is said to demand
that there be a shortening of the number of
hours in a days work and that the opera
tors be paid for overtime. There are two
or three classes Of operators and there is a
proposition for each division, but they all
turn on this one issue. 1t is not believed
that increase in pay is demanded, except in
few instances.

An Architect and Builders Views.

To the Editor of TIE HERALD: AT the
request of a number of taxpayers and
patrons of the school on Wednesday
examined the Columbia school building,
with a view to ascrrtaining its safety.
find this: The walls of said building are
in good condition and in perfect align
menr, but the roof is not sufficiently
braced, which is the cause of all the
vibration. At least q feet inches Of the
walls from the top of tn" ceiling joist to
wall plates should be taken do vn, and
unless 80 done the continual vibration
and stain to which the building is sub
jected to during high winds will sooner
or later make it dangerous. The bell
tower could remain as it is. but would
require considerable bracing and
strengthening. This is matter that
should receive the earliest attention of
our school board, as it seems to me to
be criminal negligence to permit the
building to stand in its present cordi-
ton, when by the expenditure Of IA few
nundred dollars it could be made safe
beyond question. A. 5. PAUL.
