STATE TEACHERS INSTITUTE
Interesting Address Given on Sue
cessful School ORGANIZATION

Interesting Address Given on Sue
cessful School Organization
The Teachers Institute which met at
Reno last week had a good attendance.
The registration showed a larger mum.
Der present than at any previous
meeting.
One Of the most interesting features
of this meeting was an address given
by ]. Fl. Alderman. State Superintend-
dent of Public Instruction of Oregon.
He said in part:
Before any school system can ma
terially improve it must have a definite
and clean cut organization, consisting
of a number of authorities, far enough
removed from the school, yet invested
with the right to settle all school
matters in a definite and satisfactory
way both to parents and teachers.
This system Of organization can be best
accomplished by dividing different
school communities into school districts.
each district having its own superinten-
dent and school board"
He showed also that by increasing
the size of districts in Nevada under
the present conditions, the wages OF
teachers should be more uniform
throughout the State, that the remuner'
alton of members of the pedagogical
fraternity wonld thereby be placed on
an arbitrary basis, and not subject to
the will of local school boards. He
said that by increasing the efficiency
of the teachers the tendency would in
crease the wages Of the teachers, He
gave his opinion that the present psac.
tice of certificating teachers from high
schools was not altogether the best,
because teachers from the high schools
not having had the same training and
experience as normal school teachers,
and in many cases not intending tc
stay with the profession permanently.
were inclined to work for a lower wage
than those who intend to make teach
| ing their life work. He recommended
| the broader normal school training for
all teachers of the public schools.

TO have praised his son to his face, 1t Is
related that he told others that he be-

cessful actor.
The son quit the London theaters for
several years and travelled in the prov
inces to gain a varied experience In
repertory. In this he followed his ia
theirs example. During these tours he
met Miss Dorothea Baird, to whom he
was married ten years ago.
Mr.. Irving's greatest success In Lon
don was In the role of Hamlet. He
also played Iago with great distinction.
Since coming TO New York he has ex-
pressed the desire TO play many OF
S~hakespeare's characters.
The younger Irving Is now appearing

that 1t was by his fathers own VII

WWYHETHER his hlstrionic abili-
A ty be inherited or acquired,
Henry Brodribb Irving ap-
pears to have reached, ut
the age Of thirty-six, an enviable POSI-
ton in his profession. This son OF the
late Sir Henry Irving, after fifteen
years experience on the British stage,
Is now appearing In America In the
roles made famous by his father. His
entire company he brought over from
England, including his wife, known to
the stage as Dorothea Baird, who
plays the leading feminine roles.
Henry Il. Irving is the eldest son OF
the late Sir Henry. He was born In
London in 1870. Very little was known
by the public concerning the family
of Henry Irving. whose name original
" was Henry Brodribb. until n night
In September, 1891. when young III. b.
Irving made his first professional ap-
pearance as Lord Beaufoy In a re-
vival Of School" at a London theater.
The strong physical resemblance be-
tween himself and his famous father
was pointed out then, and that resem-
blance has grown more marked with
the passing years. Mr.. Irving possess
es also in a limited degree the peculiar
drawl of his father, though his voice is
more resonant.
II became an actor" he says, '1n
spite of my father, who preferred that
/ follow the law. l did read law and
was called to the bar, but l never prac-

Young Irving was educated at Ok
ford. His talent made itself manifest
during his college days, when he es-
sayed an ambitious role in Robert
Browning's very difficult drama, "Straf-
ford" This was an amateur perform
ance at oxford.
The son never played in his fathers
company. He says that the elder IT.

tage to play in separate companies, on
