MIR. Janney's Remarks.


Mr. 3. T Janney, supervising principal
of the fifth division, took exception to some
of the statements by Mr.. Freeman, his
voice indicating very deep feeling. The
curriculum, he said, is more full tlan for
merly and the result was that something
| must be less Thoroughly taught. Still, he
thought the innovations have been wisely
inserted. He thought the broad education
gained by the children was well worth
what they had sacrificed in arithmetic. AS
| general scholars he thought the children
were in advance of children in the schools
some years ago. Formerly they We're
| taught in the abstract, now they have il
! Illustrated to them everything that they
are taught and they secure clearer ideas
He thought there might be too much of
| music and perhaps of drawing. The supervis-
ors had requested that less drawing be
taken up, and ne said that almost all of
the recommendations of The supervisors
had been respected by the superintendent
II want to emphasize that" he said.
Senator Stewart-"Then the superintend-
ent has not been arhitrary?'
Mr.. Janney-'I have not known him to
be arbitrary. He has been persistent for
things when 1 did rot feel capable of inter-
fering. l think he has always been re-
spectful to us and has in many instances
| modified things at our suggestion and will
do SO again.
II want to say" he continued, that the
statement made here this afternoon Qook-
ing toward Mr.. Freeman and with much
feeling in his voice. that the grammars
put in the schools are not to be used is
false. From my standpoint 1 do not be-
lieve it. l know they have not been useless
in my division"
Mr.. Freeman-"You may not recollect
that some of our corps remarked in meet
ing with the superintendent one Wednesday
they had instructed their teachers to put
the books on their shelves?"
Mr.. Janney-.'I never heard of that be-

Senator Stewart-"Then there is
form you would suggest?'

he would not say the schools are per-

like to do.

Times-Democrat.
The American people has just
emerged from struggle in which
millions of men felt an interest i'm
measureably transcending the baser
considerations of profit and loss.
Great principles were at stake, and
the result must, in the very nature
of the case, profoundly affect the
destiny of the Republic. One need
have no sympathy with the political
creed OF Mr.. Bryan, in order to
understand the emotions which fill
the heart of the young Nebraskan,
at this moment. Every man who
has fixed principles of thought and
action has seen such .recurrent
crises of fate which clouded the
whole moral heavens from the view
of the sufferer, aud changed the
world in all save its purely physical
aspects.
Personal experience of this sort
is the condition precedent to per-
feet sympathy with the intellectual
and moral giants who, throughout
the ages, have shaped the destiny
of the race; for it has been the lot
of these protagonists of the human
drama to be lonely and friendless,
to sound all the depths of disaster
and to pass beyond the bourne
without the consolation which the
universal and whole APP
plause of their fellows might have
administered to their battle-worn
spirits.
What anguish must the first
apostles of Christianity have en-
dured, as they went forth on the
mission which was to revolutionize
the world. Arrayed against them
