OMAHA MAY BE IN

Electric Light President Urges
Strict Conservation In
Homes. y

Unless Omaha takes immediate
steps to conserve fuel by using less
light, the entire city, including all
factories, packing houses, hospitals
and state institutions will be with
out electric light or power within 80
days, according to ]. f. Davidson,
vice president of the Nebraska Pow
err company.
Mr.. Davidson, in a statement yes.
terday, declared that if the strike
lasted even IA days more many
homes and factories would be with
out light or power.
1T takes IS or more days to bring
coal to Omaha from the mines" he
Said. Hence if the strike ends,
leaving less than lS-day supply of
coal on hand, the power plant may
have to go without coal for several
days.
Largest Consumer in Omaha.
"The power company is by far
the largest consumer of coal in
Omaha" continued Mr.. Davidson.
1--WE must meet the present situa-
ton as best we can, and it is up to
every citizen of Omaha to coop
crate in making the present coal
supply last as long as possible. Re-
gardless of the decrease in revenue
to the power company, I advise
users of electricity to conserve
light
ar have ordered the use of cleo
trio signs and display lighting of
the Electric, Building discontinued"
Mr. Davidson explained that if
individual users of electricity would
conserve, the total savings would be
enormous. One 50 watt lamp turn
cd on in $4,000 homes requires more
power and hence more fuel than is
used to supply any one of Omaha's
biggest industries, even the packing
houses, Mr., Davidson said.
Acting Chairman Snyder OF the
Terminal Fuel committee said first

by the railroads to Omaha firms

Tells Astonishing :
Story Of Health Work
Among County Pupils

= The astonishing story Of what a
young woman county superinten-
dent of SCHOOLS did in revolutioniz-
ing the schools and health condi-
tons in Renville county, Minnesota,
was told to the county superinted-
dents section of the Nebraska
Teachers association by Miss Ame-
liza Bengtson, the young superin-
tendent who has become famous all
over this country, and has told her
story even before the National Edu-
cational association.
II first induced the board of
county commissioners to allow me
$500 for an assistant superintendent.
I-called her that because the state
law did not permit the hiring of
county nurse. .
"The nurse and I started on sur
vey of the health of the pupils of
that county. We met all sorts of
opposition, but when some of the
directors themselves found that
their own children were half blind
or half deaf, or had serious diseases,
the opposition disappeared.
There was one woman who par
ticular1y talked against the novel
movement. There was no way to
stop her. But the time came when
we examined, her own 7-year-old
daughter and found the child en-
tirely blind in one eye. When her,
parents learned this they rushed her
off to the city to noted eye SUI
gon. He told them they had come
Just in the nick of time or she
would have been entirely blind for
life"
Miss Bengtson showed chart of
the results OF the survey in Renville
county. Out of 5000 children ex-
amined, 4,Oo5 were found defective
in some respect, as follows:
Bad teeth, 1861; nose trouble,
1884; throat trouble, LOS; weak
eyes 1897; ears, 720; nalnutrition,
$50; nervous diseases, gu; neck
glands, sol; general appearance, 348.
Miss Bengtson's work was so
successful that now they have three
nurses constantly at work among
the children of Renville county and
are preparing plans to double this
number.
The meeting, which was held in
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, was also addressed by Prof. c.
c. Swain, commissioner of rural
schools of Missouri, and Prof. 6. w.
Brown Of Peru Normal school.

Proposed Changes Will Be

Supt. J. A. True of McCook, rela-
tive. to the constitution of the Ne
braska State Teachers association.
Just what he meant is explained
by his further comment: "A good
many of the school men of Nebraska
are against the proposed new con-
stitution because il, is undemocratic.
We believe the things that the teach
ers of western Nebraska want can
be gained for them without tearing
to pieces our present state teachers
association.
I'VE want to amend our presept
constitution to place the presidentof
every district association throughout
the state, on the executive commit
tee and thea give the executive COM
mittee the power to secure talent for
the district associations, the same as
they secure it for the state associa-
ton, and to pass the talent around
on the chautauqua plan."
THAT will give all of us more tai
ent at less expense. 1t will give the
teachers of western Nebraska just
as good program as the state asso-
citation. But it will leave the state
association under the present plan
of government"
Two active supporters Of Mr..
True's views are Supt. John L. Nc

Library Section Of
Teachers Headed by
: Miss A. V. Jennings

More than 200 men and women
attended the library sectional meet
ing of the Nebraska State Teachers
association Friday afternoon at
Central High school.
Miss Anna v. Jennings OF Kear-'
ney State Normal was elected presi-
dent for the coming year and Miss
Josephine Lahmers of Lincoln, sec
Rotary.
"A resolution by Miss Charlotte,
fempleton of Lincoln was carried
"that the chairman appoint COM
mittee to make a survey of exist
ing conditions of the school libra
ries in the state and outline pro-
gram of school library develop
ment."
Miss Edith Tobitt, retiring presi-
dent of the section, appointed Miss
Anna Jennings Of Kearney, chair
man; Miss Jessie jerks, Wayne:
Normal, and Miss Fora Shields of
Omaha as the committee.
DR.. C. H. Judd of the School OF
Education, Chicago, talked on slim
ufating boys and girls to read. He
emphasized the need for books and
more books in our schools, and said
the school boards must be made to
see the value of accessible libraries.
Miss Anna Jennings, president
elect, said: 81 have been in libra
ries all over the country. and the
Omaha High school library is the
finest working institution of its kind

English courses in the high
schools will have to be changed"
in the opinion Of Miss Jessie M.

to have in our courses"

written up a story saying that the
school teachers don't ear~silk pet
ticoats and silk stockings and bright
colors," said Miss Viola Grey of
the Lincoln high school faculty.
Now, there's reason-just as
much of a reason as for the break
fast food. Do you know what silk
hose and silk petticbats cost? No.
Well, they cost enough, especially
nowadays. u
"And do you know what the sal
airy of the average teacher is? No?
Well, it is little enough.
There you have two reasons.
Each of them is good.
However, / think canvass of
the situation would show that a
majority of the teachers do wear
silk stockings. They probably don't
in the school room. But on state
occasions like the present, they do.
Il really think the school teacher
of today is vastly better dressed
than was her predecessor OF 70
years ago.
"And though they may not look
exactly like chorus girls from a
-burlesque show in regard to dress,
they always look neat.
"And they've got something inside
their heads, too. Don't forget that.
Most of them prefer to have their
wealth in their brains rather than
merely displayed on their backs"

HISTORY PLAYS
new METHOD TO !
TEACH SUBJECT
Democratize Pupils Of Gram
mar School, Pleads Dean
McProud of Wesleyan
University.

More than 800 teachers attended
the Grammar grade section of the
Nebraska State Teachers associa-
ton in Central High school Friday
afternoon. In spite OF the large at
tendance it was almost impossible
to get nominations for sectional Of
ficers for the coming year. w. B.
Ireland of Madison was made presi-
dent without opposition, and Mrs.
Mary Geeseman of Ansley was
elected secretary.
"Democratized knowledge"
Conscious social pressure is the
strongest influence democracy can
exert" said Dean B. E. McProud of
Wesleyan university, IN an address
on "Democratizing the Grammar
Grade Pupil" An illustration of the
use of this principle in kindergar-
ten class was given by the dean,
who pleaded for greater breadth and
wider use of ideals throughout
school life. Dean McProud declared
there is need for a change in present
day curricula, in methods of teach
ing, in control and in the quality of
output -,
america is demanding" he said
in conclusion, "that we turn out
men and women with a democratic
purpose of mind. Our system now
results in intellectualized education,
not democratized or socialized
knowledge-w h c h makes our
school all the more dangerous to
a democracy"
As a practical method Of teaching,
history, c. Ray Gates of Columbus
suggested that class organize itself
into constitutional convention, one
boy impersonating George Wash
ington, another Alexander Hamil-
ton, another Benjamin Harrison,
and SO on until all members were
represented.
Object Lesson History.
"Let Governor Randolph open the
convention" he continued. "Each
child should ascertain what his char
acter said and did and present it at
the proper time. History will then
be meaningful because it will be
motivating."
"The story Of the Pilgrims can be
dramatized by the grammar class;
costumes designed by the industrial
arts students, music written by the
music students. The effect of such
study will result in growth of de-
mocracy and love for history which
present methods do not insure"
President w. B. Owen of the Chi
cago Normal school closed the meet
ing of the grammar section with an
address on "A New Basis for Ele-
mentary School Method"
