ABRIGHT STUDENTS NEED NONE I Also Advises Teachers to Let the Fake Schools Aléne and to Look to the Teaching. Corners of H. B. Read, presidemt of the Central Commercial Teachers' assoclation, made & plea for dull students Friday morning at the opening session of the annual convention ‘Id in Boyles coMege. He sald that the ht students do not need very much at- tentlon, but the dull students should be helped. Mayor Dahlman welcomed the teachers and extended to the visitors the keys of the city. He had hearty words of praise for Omaha and sald that the people here em- ploy themselves in building up and not in tearing down and that the commercial col- leges did & great deal in helping build up any city. . He stated that, although a can- didate for governor, he would try to avoid talking about politics, He asked the young women in the assoclation to look around and see the advantages of locating in Ogpgha, while he sadd that he would like t ve the men go into the western coun- (find bufld it up, In order that Omaha might be the commercial center of the west. B. ¥, Willlams of Des Moines replied to yor Dahlman's address and sald in part: “I assure you, Mr, Mayor, that it is gratifying to us and the Interests we rep- resent, to be officially greeted and wel- comed \to the aggressive city of Omaha on this occasion. You have reason, sir, to speak enthusiastically of one of the great- est of the union's commonwealths. The broad prairies of Nebraska, all tributary to Omaha, are making of this one of the greatest of the midwestern cities. You have here every advantage that men need to build fiemly and greatly, and it is a pleas- ure to us who, although actively engaged at points more or less remote from here, know something of your progress—I say it 1s gratiftylng to us to have evidence of Help the Weak. “The dull student should receive a big share of the Bttention in our meetings,” said President Read in his annual address. “The bright student can. take care of him- | self, teacher or no teacher.

If we do not encourage proper study along all liberal lines we shall fall of our mission, but we must not be guilty of this. We must use every offort to convince our young people of the value of all useful knowledge, but we must be especlally proud of the department of prac- tical training that we represent, “Let us hope that we may 5o labor and fight that partly at least, through our et forts, the foolishness of amassing useless information will sink into its deserved ob- livion, and that education for service will ever produce the highest type of manhood and of womanhood. SAYS SOHOOLS MUST BRACE Colonel Soule Would Admit Only High School Graduates. Colonel George Soule of New Orleans yes- terday afternoon startied some members of the Western Commerctal School Managers' association. Colonel Soule told the con- vention delegates that in hls judgment the time has come to admit only high school graduates to business colleges. The speaker admitted that it will be alffi- cult to bring about such a change suddenly. “But it must come,” he added. “I don't believe, either, in graduating a pupll,” sald Colonel Soule, “‘unless the stu- dent Is proficient enough to warrant it and our schools will protit in the end by ralsing standards in these respects even though it decrease in number of students at The convention algo heard some piain talk in the afterncon from W. N. Ferris of Big Rapids, Mich,, who spoke upon “Manners and Morals, “The two are very closely co-related,” #ald Mr. Ferris, “and they'go hand i hand, withough, of course, it does not follow that well-mannered people always have gpod ethics.” Mr. Ferris advocated daily lessons in etiquet and in support of this told of young barbarians who have attended h's own institution. Lecture for Soiled Limen. Talking of his own boyhood days on the farm, the speaker sald he lacked many advantages of proper tralning in etiquet. He described his sensations while attending his first banquet, and gave many examples of the necessity of paying attention to the little detalls of lfe. He told of talking plainly to & youth with regard to the wear- ing of dirty collars and cuffs. The young man resented his remarks and went away angry, but the sting was deep and took root, 8o that in after years the man wrote to Mr. Ferris and thanked him for the re- buke he gave. The association held a “circus” reception last night st the Rome. -Almon F. Gates of Waterloo, 1a, was the “ringmaster.” He had & large list of assistants, and & num- ber of clowns under the leaderssip of M. O. Plowman of Omaha furnished amusement. B, F. Willlams of Des Molnes was chiet of the orchestra. H. P, Boyles was:the elephant trainer and introduced as his big pets: Colonel George Soule of New Ovleans; W, N, Ferris of Blg Raplds, Mich.; 0. B, Zaher of Columbus, O.; J. A, Lyons of Chi- cago, and George . Stewart of Glasgow, Scotland. The fakirs were the entire office force of the Smith Premler Typewriter company. They gave away nothing except money. This WS “stage money” used at Boyles college. 'Each visitor to the circus was given a dollar as he entered the clrcus grounds. He was obliged to pay his ad- mission fee and bought of the fakirs as long as his money lasted. VETERANS SPEAK IN SCHOOLS Soldiers of the Rebellion Tell Their Story to Pupils—Patriotic Programs Given. The annual custom of the veterans of the clvil war, addressing the public schools, was very generally carrled out in Omaha Friday. The schools were all prettily decorated for the occasion, and patriotic exercises were carrled out in all of them, embracing short patriotic recitations, patriotic songs, the delivery of Lincoln's Gettysburg ad- dress in unison. In several of the schools the exercises were hald In the forenoon, but the more general observance was during the after- noon session of the schools. The exercises were very generally attended by the par- ents and friends of the pupils. The general character of the addresses delivered by the old veterans were reminis- cent of the war days and war time ex- periences. Some related wholly to the preservation of the American patriotic spirit and of eternal fidelity to the flag and American institutions. Among the speak- ers were several of the Spanish-American war veterans and withal the exercises were full of patriotic interest. The speakers in almost every Instance were presented with handsome bouquets of flowers, and in all Instances were most 1oy~ ally and reverently received by the schools and their teachers.

A. R. Ritual in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery. There seems to be a hitch in a part the program regarding the decoration the graves of Catholic soldiers burled In the Holy Sepuicher cemetery. The duty of decorating the graves of veterans in this cemetery was assigned to :Custer ‘post, Grand Army of the Republic, and Custer Woman's Reliet Corps, Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, and the Grand Army ritual services were to be carried out Monday morning at 10 o'elock. X Owing to objections of the Catholid authorities having control of the cometery, the decoration services at Holy Sepulcher cemetery have been abandoned. Monsignor Colaneri says that the Cath- olic authorities have no objection to allow- Ing the Grand Army to decorate the graves of the deceased members in the cemetery, and hope that the Catholic soldiers will be honored with & wreath and a flag, but the authorities do object to the use of any religious ritual in the cemetery except that of the Catholic church. “Wheh the representatives of the Grand Army came to me,” sald the monsignor, “I made it plain to them that they might decorate the graves and fire a volley it they wished, but the cemetery is conse: crated ground and we cannot permit any other ritual to bo used but that of the Catholle chureh.” SPORTS AT OUTDOOR CLUBS d Base Ball on the the Various Places. of ot The golf program at the Field club Sat- urday is a medal play, with handicap and play-off match play with handicap.

NO HOUSE AT THE NUMBER McGovern Starts Crusade Against the Practice of Securing Wrong Kind of Permit—Make the Oral- mnance More l‘!’lu(- Councilman McGovern has started a flurry that may end in a law suit, brought by the city, to ascertain just what rights certain companles have to secure permits in general terms and then proceed to be- come parties to what the Ninth ward coun- |climan claims is a plain violation of law. The case which has aroused Mr. Me- Govern, and which has enlisted the lively interest of the city engineer's department, has to do with a lunch wagon situated partly on the sidewalk and partly on a between Chicago end Cass. The gas company secured a permit to lay a “service” pipe to 415 North Fifteenth street, It happens there Is no house at that number, but there 8 a lunch wagon situated as stated. On the permit secured the gas company proceeded to cut the new pavement and lald & pipe under the curb and sidewalk, then through the floor of the lunch wagon to connect with a gas stove. Examination of the ordinance governing the location of lunch wagons show that the one in question is within the lines of the district in which lunch wagons may be located, and the engineer's records show the permit was regularly granted for the cutting of the street to lay a ‘service” pipe. Councilman McGovern contends that such permits should not be granted, while As- sistant Clty Engineer Campen contends the engineering department cannot very well go behind the requests of the gas company, when & house number I8 given, to find out in every case just what is in- tended. This particular case has seemed to many of the councilman so flagrant that an attempt will be made to have a test, in court, if necessary. And in the meantime the ordinance providing for the Issuance of permits to cut the pavement will be made more strict and definite. extravagance in cost. Chauffeur Saves Jail from Fire Police Motor Driver Turns Off Gas Flame as Explosive Fluid Creeps Nearer. A can of powerfully explosive and in- flamable disinfectant standing high on a shelf in the store room of the city jail was leaking a slender stream of the deadly fluid, which oozed down & crack in the plaster toward a burning gas jet. Slowly the stieam crept along, & moving fuse to the canned terror above. A few inches more to seep along the plaster and then the crash. Tom Baughman, chauffeur-in-chiet of the police automobile fleet, passing through the halls, detected the odor of something akin to gasoline. He pushed open the stock room door and, gulded more by in- stinot than dlscernment, dashed to the light and turned it out. Subsequent Investigation showed that a minute more and the store room would have been torn by a blast from the ex- ploding disinfectant, which could not but have thrown fire and destruction Into every recess of the delapidated building. Several other large cans of the same sub- stance were near by. ENROLLING FAITHFUL FOLLOWERS OF KINGT Roll of Members of Ak-Sar-Ben Now Numbers Close to Six Hundred. The faithful of the kingdom are flocking to the standard of Ak-Sar-Ben. With & roll of 665 pald up members, a record has been made in the office of Sam- son. Never before in the history of the organization have there been so many pald up members at this season with the single exception of the banner year of 1804 But at that time the membership was boosted by special recruiting officers of the king.

The Knights will assemble first In formal ses- slon on June 6. 'Jxe T Thompsons Are Happy Again Stockman and Wife Reunited After She Files Abandonment Proceedings. Charles N. Thompson, a wealthy Wheeler county ranchman, has concluded that it would be pleasanter to dwell in peace and amity with Mrs. Della. Thompson than to live apart. Moreover, Mrs. Thompson had started wife abandonment proceedings against her husband in the county court here. - Sheriff Bralley recently went out Into Wheeler county to arrest Mr, Thompson, but found that the rancher had left “for the south,” it was said by his friends. But Mr. Thompson did not go so far south that he could not hear what was going on in Douglas county, and returning north Thursday, established himself In a Council Blutfs hotel as a base of operations. Then he proceeded to get into communication with his wife and her attorney. Friday the negotiations ended happily. Mr. Thompson pald all his wite's bills and Mrs. Thompson dismissed her suit.

Kennedy put in a claim for $400 for acting as attorn€y to B. F. Leary, who wap appointed guardian of Mrs, Sweeney. The court allowed $360. The other claims “if they should be filed at all,” sald the court, “ought to be filed against the administration of the esta.e and not against the guardianship.” 3 Mrs. Sweeney was the elderly woman who was ‘adjudged an incompetent and In whose home several thousand dollars were found in a tin box under the heurthstone, Of more recent date was the dismissal of her will and the supposedly good claim of the state to her property.
