10 TELLS WHY AGAINST TEACHERS' SCHOOL Member Woodland of Omaha Board Asserts Training Department Less Efficient. OPPOSITION TO ABOLISHMENT Interest in the contemplated decapi- tation of the teachers’ training school, decreod In secret session by the teachers’ committee, continues to grow, judged by the protests coming in, although the majority of the committee express their determina- tion to insist on adoption of their recommendation at the next board meeting. Asked for the reasons for tle proposed change, Member Frank }. Woodland, who voted with the majority In the star chamber com- nittee meeting, has given The Bee the following statement: My reasons for favoring the discon- tinuance of the training school, briefly stated, are: ““The training school is entirely unneces. sary and consequentiy a useless expense. ‘There are more experienced teachers with A college or normal school education | unxious to secure positions in the Omaha ! schools each year, than there are vacan- ces. The superfority .of such teachers | over graduates of our training school has | always been recognized by the board, udging from the fact that they are paid | » higher salary when elected than we pAy graduates of the training school. “The policy of the board, as indicated by its rules, which have been In force for Years, has been to select as teachers only thove who have graduated from a col- lege or state mormal school, and those with only a high school education are distinotly recognized exceptions to the weneral rule, and graduates of the train- ing schools are expressly included in suoi exeeptiol Says Training Less Efficlent. “In the next place, tue theoretical fraining received by members of the trainfng achool can not be compared | with that of graduates of the state nor- | mals. In the nature of things this fis obviously impossible, for but one day a weak is devoted to Instruction. The other foukr days of the achool week the students are in the various schools, observing or aseiating teachers In their classroom work, commequently the training school Is giv ing not more than 35 per cent of the “instruction and study secured by college | a8d normal school students. whatever | #uccess, therefore, has attended the work of grhduates of our training school must be ascribed largely to their natural abl- tiés and in spite of thelr lnsufficient theoretical training. "“The discontinuance of the training #chool would be for the best interests of those who would otherwise become mem- bers of it. Thers can be no question but what the guarantee of employment held ©ut to those who enter the training #hool has deterred most If not all of them (r6m securing a higher education #nd operated as an inducement to many O'herwise able to continue thelr oduca~ Lon to stop with the high school, The ¢ ¥gestion that graduates of the traime ¢ achool are those who can not atford 1 met thelr training elsewhere is net rranted by the facts.

Information is being gathered from cities that have eliminated this deception. , The Awsooiated Retallers have letters from the amsociations of Denver and Minneapolis | telling how the matter is handled there. In Minneapolis there is a city ordinance that prohibits such fake sales and flar- ing advertisements on several of the prin- cipal streets. In Denver it ia different. There is no ordinance covering the point there, but the city couneil arbitrarily prohibits such practices on certaln of the principal | streeta. The retaflers there circulated a | petition, got an overwhelming number | of signatures, and presented it to the | city council requesting such action The Assoclated Retailers of Omaha will | take this matter up with the city coun- ol here. An effort will' be made to have the council consider an ordinance on this point as soon as possible, but at any rate, | after the first fall meeting of the As-| soclated Retallers, which is to be held | September 9, INSURANCE ON PARCEL X POST INCREASED TO $100 The Foatoffice department is ovt with an order providing for an increase on the ampunt of insurance that may be placed bn parcel post mafl.

Where insurance is sought for more than $ and up to $100 the fee is 25 cents. To mecure the Insur- ance packages have to be taken to the main office or one of the branches and & regular application made.

WHEAT CROP AVERAGES GOOD While rains, according to the Burl- ington's weekly crop report, were keneral over Nebraska last week, they were not unusually heavy ex- cept in the eastern part of the state. Fisewhere it is asserted that they were just about sufficlent to keep crops growing rapidly. In the east- ern portion of the state they were torrential in some localities. For in- stance, at Fremont the precipitation reached 8.17 Inches; Plattsmouth had 3.65; Nebraska City, 2.86; Table Rock, 4; Byracwse, 2.05, and many other places one and -one-half to two inches, As & result of the heavy rains, accord- Ing to the report, in the eastern portion of the state, corn conditions went back, while elsewhere there was an Improve- ment. The condition of corn over all the several divisions of the road average a 100 per cent crop. The comparison of condition with the previous week is made, Figures are: Last Previous Division, Week Weelk. Omaha . an [ Lincaln s Wymore . 97 MeCook u7 106 Fully Up to the Avernge. The opinion is oxpressed that unless there should be an unusually early frost, the corn crop as a whole will be fully up to the average and that if there should not be a killing frost “before the middle to the last of September, it will be un~ precedented in the history of the state. Dealing with wheat the report shows that this year farmers are stacking more than ever before and that threshing out of the shock is not the rule. As a re- ault less threshing has been done than during former years, but whatever farm- ers have threshcd, the wheat has turned out well. Twelve of the Bucington agents, reporting from that number of stations scattered over the state, report that in the localities where they reside, wheat has yielded better than twenty-one bushels to the acre What maintains with wheat holds true In the matter of oats. Where threshing has been dome, agents assert that the average yield is around forty bushels per acre While potatoes are plentiful, the quality is reported below the average on account of too much wet weather. Alexander Hampton, traveling pas- senger agent for the Northwestern, work- ing the territory north of the Platte, is in the city and speaking of crops through the north half of Nebrasku, asserts: “There has never been anything like it during my twenty Jears' residence in Ne- braska. Wheat s turning out twenty-| five to thirty bushels per acre, and the quality is good, there having been less rain than farther south. Corn gives promise of the best crop the farmers have ever rajsed. The acreage is Iarge and by the middie of Beptember the entire crop will be beyond the possibility of uny frost ! damage. Much of it will be out of the way by September 10. Right now much of the corn has passed beyond the roasting ear stage.” Ambulance Driver Injured in Collision Willam Short, driver of the city emer- gency hospital's ambulance, sustained concussion of the brain and a fractured leg when the ambulance collided with a street car at Eighteenth and Cumingk streets. Short was taken to Bt. Joseph's hoe- pital. There was no other occupant in the ambulance when the collision oe- ourred. The ambulance was tipped over. FIVE WEEKS’ OLD PUPPY WINS DRAW WITH HEN An Alredale puppy, 3 weeks old, which is able to hold its own in a fight with & setting hen, is owned by C. E. Wilson, 228 Sprague street.

TWO0 CHANGES ARE APPROVED Proposed changes of names of| South Omaha streets brought forth a suggestion from J. J. Breen, who would have some of the ploneers of the west memoralized in this man- mer: Change A, B, C, D, F, G, I, M, P and Q streets to avenuey bearing the fol- lowing names: Allls, for Samuel Allis, | Bellevue miastonary; Coronado, for the | Spanish explorer sald to have been the | firet white man In Nebraska: Big Eik, | in_front of Bellevue college; De Smet, | for one of the early missionaries; Fonte- nelle, for Logan Fontenelle, chlef of the | Omahans; Gatewood, tor Major Gate- | wood, who concluded the last treaty with | the Omahans; Lisa. tor Manuel Lisa, said | to locats at Rellevue; Marquette, for a mis- slonary explorer; Paxton, for W. A. Pax- ton, first president of the Unina Stock | Yard company; Quivera, for the Land | 8¢ the Quivera. | The city council In ecommittee of the | whole referred the matter to the superin- | tendent of public improvements for re- commendations. It practically has been desided that ! Briggs avenue, Eouth Omaha, will be | changed to Cassidy avenue, in honor of Phil Cassidy, father of Bd Cassidy and one of the first settlers on the land now known as South Grmeha. Jackson street, South Omaha, will in all probability be known as Drexel street, for fred Drexel, father of City Commissioner Drexel. Other names of early South Omaha | sottlers suggested for street names are: George Holmes, Louts A. Walker, John Kennelly, Peter Corrigan, John Sautter, John O'Rourke and John Begley, whose deeds were signed by James Buchanan, president of the Unitsd States. Commercial atreet, South Omaha, also be changed, so as not t conflict with Commercial street in Omaha, the similar- ity of names being an inconvenience to the postoffice offictals Double Mileage Tires Automobile owners all over the world write us that they are obtaining from “Nobby Tread” Tires twice the mileage they could get from other tires. the “Nobby Tread’ majority of “ Nobby We absolutely know this to be true of the great Tread” users, because although' adjustment is based upon 5,000 miles to the tire,—*“Nobby Tread” users all over the world are securing averages of 8,000 Miles 10,000 Miles 12,000 Miles 5,000 is constan miles. giving tremendous excess mil and above its extraordinary adjustment i es over We want to find and consult with any “Nobby Omaha Branch: United StatesTires Mbybl.-flu‘b:r United States Tire Company OMAHA RUBBER CO., Agent, 1608 Harney Street *“Nobby Tread"’ Tires are sold by Leading Reliable Dealers.
