DEMOS CLAIM NEW
HAMPSHIRE STATE
Republican Chairman Says Al
legged Official Figures Are
Not Authentic.
ASKS VOTES BE INSPECTED

Concord. N. H., Nov. 9.--The COM
'plcte figures OF New Hampshire show
ing plurality OF III for Wilson presi-
dental electors are based on certified
returns to the secretary OF state, 24O
precincts out OF a total of z94, added
to press returns from fifty-four pre-
cincts. The secretary is checking up
the press returns with those certified
as the latter come in.
The two precincts which were miss
ing until this afternoon gave a total OF
eleven votes for Hughes and seven for
Wilson.
Demos Figures Disputed.
Philip +. Falkner, chairman OF the
republican state committee, issued the
following statement:
"The claim that New Hampshire
has gone for Wilson is unsubstan-
tiated by any returns in our posses
sion.
Fully 40 per cent of the town
clerks throughout the state have rem
dered no returns of the vote, but such
unofficial figures as we have verified
in every quarter OF the state indicate
that Mr.. Hughes has carried New
Hampshire by something less than
100 plurality
1--WE have well fortified information
of irregularities in the counting OF
votes in many quarters and we have
today instituted proceedings for an
inspection OF all the votes cast in the
state on Tuesday as our law provides
George A. Fairbanks OF Newport
one of the Hughes presidential cleo
tors, is the petitioner in this action
and we expect to have the New
Hampshire ballots in the hands OF the
secretary Of state by the Close Of an.
other day.
1--WE do not concede New Hamp-
shire to the democrats and are pre-
pared to substantiate our claim of re.
publican victory before any competent
tribunal"
Certified returns for 248 precincts
out of 294 in New Hampshire give
Hughes, 1902; Wilson, 36,795.
For the balance of the state the
secretary Of state has only press re.
ports and it was on the certificate re-
turns combined with press reports
that the Wilson plurality was placed
at III.

of Teaching.
URGES OUT. OF. SCHOOL LIFE

If the teachers OF Nebraska who at
tended the association meeting held al
the Auditorium last night paid atten-
ton to the words OF P. P. Claxton,
Washington, D. C., United States COM
missioner of education, they learned
two things-how to teach, and why +
P, Claxton is commissioner.
The subject Of the discussion was
"The Promotion OF the Teacher With
the Pupils" In substance he showed
that the history OF child, its environ
ment, habits, interests, and the history
of its family, both in a physical and
mental sense. are the prime facts to be
ascertained in order to start properly
in the pupils education.
As an insurance agent or physician
inquiries into the life of an individual
and his family to ascertain just what
to expect from the person, so teacher
should make this vital issue OF pre-
paredness for the campaign OF teach
ing.
Don't teach a child to recite by
heart from a text book" said the
speaker. That is not education, but
mechanical efficiency. Learn what
your pupils do out OF school, what
they are interested in, how they spend
Saturday and Sunday and their vaca-
tons.
The Main Education.
"Out OF school life is the main edu-
cation. Learn what they are taking
interest in without, and bring these
things into the school and interpret
them for your children.
The teacher who would teach must
put herself into the minds of her chill
dren. Teachers in grade schools have
no sense OF value, but merely go
through certain process OF dispense
ton without weighing the result.
Instead of learning first. second
and third grade teaching singly q
teacher should not only be prepared
but should instruct pupils not only in
one grade as the first, but on into the
third and fourth and even through the
sixth grade, She then becomes &C.
quainted with the child, its habits

best methods by which it may receive
true learning.
IF this plan will be carried out, the
teachers in the schools will teach chill.

Commissioner Claxton cited numer.
Gus amusing incidents Of the absolute
folly OF book learning" when it is moi
interpreted so that the child's mind
can digest it.. His discourse showed
the years of devotion he has given to
the subject.
City Superintendent Of Schools John
D. Shoop OF Chicago spoke on The
Variable and the Constant in Teach
ing" He put much stress on the
gospel OF work and self-reliance fol
