The Child Is An Undiscovered
Possibility

This possibility is 10 be discover
ed BY the parent. by the teacher.
When Daniel Webster, young awk-
ward. shy boy from the farm. was
brought before the somewhat POM
pous head master Of Philips Acad-
envy. he was handed the Gospel Of
St. Luke as a reading exercise. With
marvellous intonation in voice. a
voice rich with intelligence, he read
to the astonishment Of the master,
who. discerning in this simple exer-
else the power Of the lad. said. The
examination is closed. The young
man seems to be prepared 10 enter
this school" His shy manners. his
homespun clothes and his awkward
ness made him an object Of good
natured jests. but one day the
teacher Of the group to which he
belonged said. Young gentlemen. to-
day you are 10 take leave Of Mr..
Webster. you will not see him in
your class again" Nor did they,
so far did the shy, young lad out
distance them in 18th ability and
application.
Happy is that teacher who. like
the old teacher in Bonnie Brier
Bush" has a sense for PARTS in his
laddies. who can distinguish the
promise Of superior intelligence on
the part OF his pupils. Not only
is the parent and teacher to dis
cover. but also he is to develop the
latent ability Of the child. Match

are asking that the Springfield Normal
be abolished as a normal school and
changed to the state training school for

Three bills already introduced and an

the officials of that institution with a
denial Of any authority given to aEyon,

HUSKERS AND IOWA A TPEACE

HAwKEYEs GUARANTEED $500

After squabbling over the matter for
nearly two months, the Universities OF
Nebraska and Iowa have buried the
Ratchet and athletic relations have been
resumed with everything tranquil and
peaceful Iowa has consented to meet the
Cornhuskers or the gridiron at Lincoln
next year and the Huskers will invade
Iowa City in 1916.
Nebraska offered Iowa two-year
proposition to stage foot ball battles and
Iowa has accepted. The proposition Of
fered by the Huskers was flat guar
antee of $500 to Iowa, in lieu of an even
division of the net receipts and Athletic
Manager Kellogg of the Iowa school was
instructed to affirm the offer.
Nebraska Gets short End.
The fuss started when Nebraska dis
covered that but 5000 was netted from
the combat at Iowa City last November
As Iowa carted home quite a wad OF
coin from Lincoln in 1918, the Corn
husker authorities decided they got all
the worst of the bargain. Thus the de-
cision TO give Iowa only $500 and keep
the rest for, themselves. Iowa did not like
the idea OF missing out on the plums, so
she objected. But the Cornhuskers were
obdurate and would agree to no other ar
rangement, and as $500 is a pretty neat
split for the Hawkeyes, they decided it
expedient to accept,
