THE _OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1900. & BEGAN IN DISTRICT SCHOOL Omaha Fducators Commenced Their Work in Little Red Echool Houses, | INCIDENTS OF THEIR EARLY EXPERIENCES | Principal Waterhouse's Firnt Engn t Due to His Robust Physique and His Apparent Abliity to Thrash Big Hoyn, 1t as not been many years ago teachers of the Omaha pub! entered upon thelr professional career, but it bas been long enough for many of them to change their opinions of teaching a8 a prefession and to get a broader and | deeper view of the science of pedagogy will be shown by atements of some them who have b - induced to talk their earliest experiences In the work the school room. In the year 1§ Pearae, tendent of the Omaha city schools hie first experience In the art of teaching school. In twenty-thres years there has | en little change in the country around | Wilber, Saline county, where the school | was located, and of the Nebraska country | #chools this was among the best. A good frame bullding and Improved seats had long been a featurs of the district, 8o the eMcient superintendent was far from being & ploneer toacher. Speaking of his ex- perlence, Mr. Pearss sald: “In that school I hisd all classes, from the lowest grade to high school work— from infants to boys older and larger than 1 was. My greatest trouble was bocause of my inexperlence. I did not know how to fostruct, and for lack of proper instruc- tlon, the pupils becamo idle and careless 85 was natural. My greatest satistaction was found in the higher classes, the mem- bers of which were working upon studies more like those which I had just pleted. According to the idems of the board, 1 got through in good shape, but at the end of the term I thought I would take up wome other line of work. 1 con- tinued teaching, however, for tho reason that 1 could realize more money from this occupation than from other that I could secure at that time nce the echools firat as ot | of ot superin- received com- It was strength of arm and phyeical skill which first trought Principal ™ aterhouss of the High school into the ranks of the pedagogues. The scene of his initlal work was the famous Terre Couppe prairle of Indlana, in the district adjoining the home of Schuyler Colfax. In that day the Hous- fers elected their teachers at the annual #chool meotings and at one of these meet- fogs Mr. Waterhouse was an applicant for a position. This s the way he tells his experience “I was asked to go to the schoo! meeting. The house was filled and there were sev- eral applfcants. Just before the votlng | began one of the patrons of the school | asked me to stand up. As I arose to my feet he remarked, ‘You seem big enough and strong enough and 1 guess you will | @0’ This seemed to settle the matter and 1 was elected, which shows that bone and muscle were more to be desired In that district than brains and experience. There was no question of discipline in that school. The first week 1 accepted a challenge from the leader of the hoyz and In 2 wrestling match threw him twice out of three times My reputation was established and I re- celved implicit obedlence from the entire ool, My chief dificulty was in keeping ahead of some of the classes; my groatest ploas- ure, the younger children, who made the most rapid advaccement in their studles, purticularly one class which entered with no knowledge of letters and ended the term by reading in the third reader. At the end of that term I did not have the most favor- able ‘mpression of teaching as a profes- sion, as was shown by my desire to emter some other lino of work. I needed money to complete my own education, however, and teaching gave me this money and time to study, so I continued. Then in & short time I felt more successful in the school room than any other place, o 1 decided to stay.” Tn the town of Galena, 11, no name is more familiar to those Interested in the public schools than that of McHugh. For over thirty-five years the father of Miss Kite McHugh had been connected with the schools and her brothers had taught n them, so no one was surprised when sho made up her mind to follow in the parental footsteps, but her manner of be- ginning was somewhat unusual. The &chool board of Galena at that time had | adopted the merit system for the employ ment of teachers. Whenover u vacanc was to be filled an examination was called and the person standing highest in rank at the examination was employed. In the last year of Miss McHugh's IHigh school studies such an examination was called The senlor class of the High school was excused fu a body and the members all took the examinmation, ‘just for the fun of the thing and to get a little recreation.’ The next morning Miss McIlugh was chosen to fill the existing vacancy. Hers was a second-grade school, composed of thirty- two Iittle girls, and this is tho way she talks about her first term “I was surprised when 1 bad secured the school 1 learned that but the fact that A farmer is known by his furrow as *the carpenter is known by his chips.” It takes a firm hand and a true eye to turn @ straight furrow. No wonder the farmer wears out, spite of exercise and fresh air, One day's work ou the farm would tire many a trained athlete, And the farmer works hardest of all. The first up and | the last to bed, feeding his team {)c"\- he feeds himself, his work is practically never done. Why does not the farmer treat his own body as hic treats the land ke cultivates? He puts hack in phos- hate what he takes out in crops, or the Eml would grow poor. The farmer should put back iuto his body the vital elements exhausted by labor, It he doe pot, he will soon complain of “poor health.,” The great value of Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is in ils vital izing power. It gives strength to the stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the blood. It supplies Nature with ilie sub- stances by which she builds up the body, just as the farmer supplies Nature with the substances that buiid up the crops. "1 write to tell you of the great beuefit I re. eeived from the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Med. fcal Discovery.” writes Mr. G. B. Bird, of Byru ide, Putnam Co., W, Va.

It was in a country district, with pupils of all ages, and thers is littls won der that the young giri—she was only 15 | years old—should become so mystified and excited that she forgst herself ar ed six miles to her home at the end of the fiest day. But it was a good wchool and Mies Ehippey liked i “There were school w 1gus, | Lippey of | rm of | i about forty puplls in half of them were older than “The greatest diMcuity 1 experienced was from the fact that 1 was too young to teach school and the puniis knew it.

Y., as teacher, Miss McKoon of Train school. Hers was a firm resolve to follow the protession of teach- ing and in this she was supported by her father. Spesking of this frat term she says "My greatost trouble in that school of forty puplls was myself. 1 expected each pupll 10 be 0 model and when he was not 1 was discouraged. Then the worde of my father was an Inepiration to me. He | ald, ‘You cannot make the children over, | you must take them as you find them and &ien do your hest, no one can do more.’ With this in my mind 1 changed my man- | ner of dealing with children and after that | was falrly succeesful. I always did like to work with children and my memories of that first term are always pleasant. Of course I got tired and counted the hours t1l the cloas of the day's work many times, but ou the whole the pupils and I got along very well. At the end of that term, how- ever, 1 came to the concluston that 1 dia Dot want (o teach again for a thousand yenrs In a district school in Washington county in the helght of the summer season, Mrs, Coe, principal of the Central school, taught her first term. The school house stood In the midat of a cornfleld and the waving blades of maize, its deep green color and the Elint of the dew in the early morning are among the pleasant memories of that firse term’'s work. Speuking of the work Mrs Coe satd 1 enjoyed all of that term. There was no difficulty, and the pleasant phases were £0 numerous that it would be lmpossible to say what gave me the most pleasure. un- lees it was the feoling of independence which comes from belng self-supporting. 1 Ived at bome and rode horseback six miles to the sckool where I was my own Janitor that summer. At the end of the term [ was resolved to make teaching my lite work and Jeft the summer school Friday evening to Leglu a regular term in a nelghboring district the next Monday. My ambition then was to go to a tralning school and that ambition was afterwards gratified.” ——— COMMISSIONERS ARE AT 0DDS Difierence of Opiuion Ar tention of Twe Co s Over Re- The county commissioners are at odds over the retention of two employes at the | county hospital.
