A school Board Member Speaks.
OMAHA, oct. 0.-To the Editor OF The
Bee, I have lived IN Omaha for twenty
eight years and have the reputation
among q large circle Of friends and sc-
quaintances Of being just. AZ a mem
Der Of the Board OF Education am
familiar with the Rusmisel and steEner
cases. having carefully looked into them
for the purpose Of being right and doing
right in my dealings with them. and can
honestly say thst Justice has been done IN
each. BY not publishing the evidence
We are not protecting Mr.. Rusmlsei, as
he needs no protection, there being moth
ing against him. but the Withholding OF
said evidence Is really n protection 10
Mr.. Rusmisers enemies This Is we'll
known by those who are familiar with
the evidence.
sinceI have been on the board ] have
received many long letters setting forth
far-fetched arguments against our high
school taking NJ and adopting the com
mereiel or business course. These letters
has all the "earmarks'' Of commercial
colleges. who are vitality interested, lest
the poor mans boy or girl might receive
commercial education. and they not
set the pay for II.
Good people. did II ever occur TO you
that this question, like other questions.
has two sides TO ~ Did u ever occur 20
You that the best way to destroy the
eommercial high school Is TO attack its
head7 Did II ever occur TO you that
there might be q "nlgser in the fence
and that somebody might have a financial
axe 70 grindT' Did II ever occur to you
that the RusmiSei case might be deeper
than Rusmiself
I have been on the board for nearly
two years and have refrained from going
into print, but when I see members of
the school board neglecting their private
business and giving their valuable time
TO the conducting Of the schools and re-
ceiYing nothing but abuse for II, II Is
hard TO keep out. The more holy than
thou element Of our city has always
been ready to jump at conclusions With
out giving public matters real thought.
Disregardins the great mass Of the conn
mon people. this holy element has
picked a ticket for US to vote for. Where
did they get their right TO do so? Do
you think this Economic-Taxpavers,
league ticket. II elected, will build thu
new schools 80 badly neededY Look into
this-"the citizens ticket" Are there no
citizens outside Of this annual and some
times semi-annual bunch Of chronic
kickers and fault finders7
u is very easy to find fault, but Il take,
men to do things OF course, we cannot
claim to have any virtue because tina,
quahncation has been completely mo-
nopoliEed by the citizens ticket with
the women who are taking 80 much IN.
tesss' nave no fault 10 find. because II
Is Woman's way to never look before she
jumps, but to jump twice and then Iool
back. A man without plenty of courar,
and backbone has no business ON m,
school board Of Omaha.
In conclusion ! will say that IL we wer.
% allow the Woman's club ana klndre,
organisations to run our schools In les,

The Oral Methoa.


OMAHA. Oct. e0.-To the Editar y, tn.

vored against the wishes OF the deaf /.
an amateur game ending in awkward re-
suits. Only one out Of every 100 has been
penefited by these teachings. And this
one is q semi-mute, Some can read lips
with those they are accustomed to h.
daily work. but when he comes 10 =

IN school are wasted in useless squeakins

The dog viii understand his master and
nobody else. We deaf people do not ex-
pect 10 follow our masters ali the time
We are ambitious people, just like ordi-
nary citizens seeking a fortune ana free
dom from this obnoxious law.
We are willing to use a pencil ana
paper when In conversation with other
people, then we are sure OF what they
say. There often has been an exhibition
to show the success OF the oral method

ence believes, the actor put an egg

Kluck Is essentially an infantry commander, and
his great dash through Belgium and northern France
10 the very gates OF Paris made almost wholly
with foot soldiers. In the course Of this dash he
broke all the worlds marching records. After the
first battle with the British at Mons he pushed for

five miles day. and after his delay at cambrai,
which allowed the retreating British 10 get days
