Teachers viii Be
Given Excursions
Around the City

The publicity bureau is preparing to
send out 1000 welcome folders OF Omaha
to the teachers of the state. who are
expected to attend the meeting of the
State Teachers association here in No
vember The folders contain some inter
estlng views OF Omaha and a lot of
concise information about the metropolis.
Invitations are constantly being received
at the publicity bureau from manufac-
turers and wholesalers in the city, ask
ing that the teachers visit their plants
during their stay in Omaha
The excursion feature OF the association
meeting is becoming an important feature
and every year the teachers are taken
in a body through some Of the large man
ufacturing plants of the city, The list Of
invitations will be presented TO the teach
ers when they come and decision will
then be made on a list of those to be ac-
cepted for excursions that will be enter
tanning and instructive.
OF recent years the idea has grown in
teachers associations and educational
circles that teachers, besides having a
fund of book information, should learn
as much as possible about the state in
which they have the care of the young,
and should especially have compre-
hensive knowledge of the large industries
and manufactures in that state. 1t Is
in pursuance Of this idea that excursions
OF the teachers are becoming more and
more popular.

DANCING TEACHER SAYS
OMAHA is NOT TANGO MAD

Miss Jewell Simpson, teacher Of dane
ing at the Douglas Auditorium academy,
says that though she has advertised for
pupils for her tango class. there have
been so few responses, that she has de-
cided to abandon that branch, for the
present at least.
"Out of 200 students. only two have
asked TO be taught the tango or its varia-
tions," she said. THE rest are satisfied
with the simple, old-fashioned waltz and
two step.
"This fact convinces me that even
though the tango is at the height of its
popularity In the east, and in certain
places here, II will never be universal or
long lived. The average Omaha miss or
youth is apparently satisfied with the
waltz or two step at dances, and the lock-
legged steps. even though simple, are not
very eagerly sought after. So l don't
think that the social service board will
need to worry about Omaha going tango
mad"
