ciaI Meeting over Case.

South Omaha had its eyes opened TO the
value Of Industrial education when the
school exhibition opened Thursday night az
500 North Twenty fourth street The ex-
hibtion represents the work of 5000 chill
dren in the fifteen schools Of the city and
comprises everything from kindergarten
work Of PAPER mache to clay modelling
and wood carving by the senior grades
The work Of the Industrial geography
classes especially attracted much atten-
ton and comment Industrial geography
is new study. in which the students in
dictate on the maps the chief products OF
the countries or states mapped
One of the greatest attractions Of the
exhibition was the clay modelling Of a II
year-old boy. Charles Lacina a student OF
the Jungman school. Lacna Is said 20
be almost deaf and for long time was
problem TO his teachers. Accidentally IL
was noted that the boy loved TO model wei
clay and forthwith the problem was
solved. Now young Lacina attends the
manual training school twice a week and
devotes his time TO clay modelling. His
work Is superior and indicates magnificent
talent. Three pieces OF work especially
merited the attention OF the visitors TO
the exhibition. They were The Creeping
Puma" head Of Lincoln and a head OF
Beethoven. In his work the boy, while
showing some attention 20 detail catches
principally the strong lines of his sub
iect.
The exhibition will continue for the
balance of the week and II is expected
that a great crowd OF the parents and
patrons of the schools will encourage the
scholars and pupils by their attendance.
Teachers Friends Aroused.
Sentiment lie strong in condemnng the
action of the members OF the Board OF
Education who summarily suspended Miss
Laura Delpsch, a teacher in the Haw-
thorne school. for whipping Howard Tay-
lor. a pupil.
The boy was said TO have been severely
beaten about the legs with a pointer be-
cause Of having hectored his schoolmates
by pinchins them. Following the complaint
made to Commissioner AL Hunter by the
boys father, George Taylor, it is alleged
that President Yechout of the school board
notified Superintendent Graham by tele-
phone OF Miss Depschs suspension. This
mode or procedure is considered to have
been hasty In view of the custom whereby
the teacher IL given san opportunity TO
state her side Of the case.
Miss Delpsch is Frustrated over the turn
taken by affairs. She has been In the
public school service for twelve years and
her friends say she has never had the
name of being a severe discipIinarian. Her
disposition is said to be extremely mild
and It Is said by those who know her best
that gross injustice has been done her
in placing her before the public as q mar
| tinet.
A special meeting Of the school board
MI
said. Miss Delpsch will be reinstated by
the board President Yechout expressed
1t as his opinion Thursday that the sus-
pended teacher would be reinstated.
Inc parents OF the boy are unwilling To
push the case and Mrs. Taylor declared
that she was sorry about the whole affair
Howard Taylor is back at school

Delpsch was confined to her bed az the
