"ROM a little organization or dozen, or
i 1865, the Nebraska state Teachers associa-
ton has grown to a magnificent educa-
tlonal body of 1896 members.
This great body Of educators Of the state of
Nebraska is to hold its fftieth annual convention
at Omaha this week. The half century mark has
been reached and a great march of progress In the
educational system of the state has been recorded
in that length of time.
Yes, the institution was founded back In 1865,
although the records really begin with the meeting
of 1857, when the association met at Brownvllle
Neb. Robert w. Furnas, principal OF the Brown
vile school at that time president. Next year
II met at Nebraska City In 1859 the little organ
ization first made its appearance in Omaha. I'm
Ineditey afterward 1t returned again to Brownvile
for Its next meeting, and the following year again
ventured out from the shell and met at Lincoln.
both 1871 and 1872 meetings were held in Lincoln.
Then the association went to Fremont, Tecum-
sch. Omaha and Nebraska City for series of
years. and back to Lincoln again. Then the
smaller towns got a chance at it again for a few
years, until In 1884 II went TO Lincoln and was
held there successfully until 1908, with the excep-
ton OF two years, when It went to Fremont and
Hastings respectively. In 1904 Omaha got the
convention again Then It went back 10 Lincoln
until 1911.
Following this date the convention went to
Omaha and has been meeting here regularly since.
The democratic principle injected into the associa-
ton with the referendum vote officers and place
OF meeting has kept the meeting place In Omaha.
Yet, after all, in the half century OF its exist
ence the association has met in Omaha only nine
times and five OF the nine have been the last five
successive years The small towns are now out OF
the running in this matter, the association has
grown too large to be accommodated by anything
Ehort OF a metropolitan city.
Some figures along this line interesting.
Before the convention came TO Omaha the highest
attendance II had attained was 1900. The
high mark in attendance was reached two years
ago. when 1865 active teachers of the state were
enrolled for the convention in Omaha.
Today the association ranks with the best in
the western hemisphere in point Of numbers and
Importance Of work. Iowa has recognized this
fact to such extent that its teachers are allowed

was also C. G. Pearse. former head of the Omaha
schools, now head of the Milwaukee normal, and
J. W. Crabtree, former head Of the Peru State nor

w. w. w. Jones of Lincoln, j. NJ McKensie
and C. K. Palmer of Beatrice the only men
who ever succeeded themselves in the presidency.
Jones president from 1892 to $50. McKensie
from 1871 to 1873, apd Palmer from 1876 to 1877.
In all the history OF the association there have
been but two women presidents Only one of these.
Miss Kate McHugh Of Omaha was elected to the
office while Miss Edith A. Lathrop of Clay Center
succeeded to the presidency from her position OF
vice president, when the then president. William

TO attend either the Nebraska or the Iowa assoca-
ton at their own option and given credit
equally at either place.
The Nebraska association has been instrument
tai in lifting the standard OF the schools OF the
state, and II is to the State Teachers association
that much of the credit is given for the low per-
centage OF illiteracy for which Nebraska has long
Teen famed. The influence OF the association has
teen for better grade of teachers throughout the
state.
The presidents OF the association have been
pretty well distributed over the state. Among the
former presidents are a number OF men who have
since grown to some emnence in their field The

High School Problems Ahead

Asked about his plans and ideals for the Omaha
High school, Prof. Masters smiled and said:
lone of the biggest problems We are coming
face to face with hero is the problem of room. We
using every foot of space in this fine big build
ing. If we had another teacher don't know where
would put her. Next term we will have 200
or 500 new pupils from the eighth grade and I
don't see where we will accommodate them"
what is your attitude toward the so-called
practical studies compared with the classical?'"
This is decidedly classical high school," he
said with smile. 1.-The manual training equip
nent is decidedly poor, compared with what We
had in Oklahoma City. Here woodwork is about
the only thing taken up. There we had carpentry
and cabinet-making, forge. foundry and machine
work have seen a boy take an ordinary file take
the temper out OF it and shape It into carving
knife and fork temper these utensils and fit them
with artistic handles. Our equipment here in cook
Ing and sewing is good
Another problem that consider important is
vocational guidance. We must consult with the
pupils who are doubtful and study their aptitudes
as to guide them as swiftly and surely as pos
sible to concentration Of their energies on their
life occupations"

Question of Separating Boys and Girls

Segregation Of boy and girl students is an
other possible innovation in the Omaha High school,
though the faculty at present is opposed to it, about
two-thirds voting against it at recent meeting.
am inclined to look upon co-education best. The
boys need the example of the girls in hard study
and application while the girls need the example
{; the boys in practical application. Girls study
harder and learn more by memory OF rote. There
far fewer failures among girls than among
Toys In Seattle, where segregation tried, the
Toys distanced the girls In certain studies like
chemistry It would be a good idea to have separate
courses of study beyond the elementary course, SO
that girls, for example, could take up the chemistry

we would begin school at $3.50 a. m. instead of 9,
now.
Under this plan the first twenty minutes Of
each period are devoted to study of the lesson to
be recited. Such study has the advantage OF being
under the supervision Of the teacher. The pupil
does not grope bindly, but is shown by the teacher
Just how to attack the problems of the lesson.

OF Course He Has q Hobby-Trampping

Mr.. Masters has hobby. Every evening he
bitches up his hobby, drives II around to the front
door OF his home Thirtieth and Cass streets and
he and Mrs. Masters and the two little Masters go
out on the hobby.
This hobby is walking, "tramping" the prin-
opal prefers to call It. Every evening my wife
