Question and Elect Officers.
The Association of the Boards Of Edu.
cation OF Nebraska held its second an-
nual meeting Thursday aad decided to
perpetuate itself and hold the meeting

the Nebraska Teachers association

II. p. shufnway, Wakefield; secretary,
Mrs l.. NJ. Russell, Lincoln.
In paper on ''Why Do Our Puplls
Break Down With the Strain Of Work.
C. NJ. Penny took the position that the
grading system In the schools was TO a
degree responsible for the breaking down
Of the health Of many pupils.
Mr.. Gaylord OF Newman Grove said
more grammar, arithmetic and spelling
should be taught and not so much atten-
ton given to fitting pupils for the uni
versities Inspector Gregory, in charge
OF normal school training, said that mot
one In GOO work hard enough to break
down their health; the real cause of the
breakdowns Is dissipation" Mr.. Gregory
assured the board members that he had
nothing against the universities or col
leges, but he did not like the grading
systems.
Mr.. Gregory said individual drinking
cups have proven a complete failure and
are not nearly as sanitary as the old
water pail and the common tin dipper
Of few years ago. lie said that In go
ing about the country, in the SCH DOL
houses he finds them in dirty corners. in
old desks. In pockets and many places
where filth accumulates and microbes
multiply and flourish.
II. p. Shumway OF Wakefield argued
that boys fail principally on account OF
beng forced 20 take studies dlstasteful
to them, simply that they may be pre-.
pared for asuniversity which they never
expect to enter.
Miss Terryof Bancroft maintained thai
most OF the boys would go through the
high schools but for the fact that from
the beginning they are forced TO study
the languages.
Dr. DAILY Of wisner denounced the In.
dlvidual drinking cups as being unsani-
tRry and at the same time expressed this
opinion that much OF the disease ~
schools was due 70 the unsanltary condl,
