AVERY WOULD SHOW ~YOUTH HOW 0 SHOOT Chancellor of State University Tells What Are Needs of the School of Today. TEACHERS GIVE IDEAS “If 1 had a son of my own,” said Chancellor Samuel Avery of the Uni- versity of Nebraska, in addressing the i convention of the Nebraska State | ;1 | norml schools; declared in favor of having the state assume a consider- able share of the burden of supporting high schools, so that every child in Nebraska should have free access to a four-year high school without bur- dening his home district; favored a requirement for a teacher equivalent to a four-year high school course at least; deplored the wide circulation of a report of the Russell Sage Foundation to the effect that Ne- hraska has dropped down to twenti- oth among the states in the union sducationally; wished the statement sither confirmed or denied by an in- restigation; and declared for revised spelling as adopted by the National Educational association, § Teathers' association this morning at the Auditorium, “I should wish him V among other things to learn during 4 his school period, following some- what the sentiments of the ancient Persians, ‘To speak the truth, to obey orders and to shoot straight.’” ST g The chancellor explained that there is much difference of opinion as to 3 what extent the American school should give the future citizens an elementary knowledge of military 5 science, or to what extent they should actually train the boy in the arts of war, but declared this would be his personal wish for his son, if he had one. “The American schools have felt the need of a greater national life,” he said. “In a word, we have all come to feel that the melting pot should be heated a little hotter and stirred more vigorously. We have all been profoundly regretful that Amer- icans citizens should become violent partisans on one side or the other of the great European conflict.” Where Schools Fail, Touching the national defense sit- uation, he said: “Even the problem of pational defense falls ultimately for solution upon the schools.” The chancellor's subject was “Edu- cational Tendencies.” “The discussion of what to teach and why is endless,” he added. “The things which are intensely a matter of bread and butter today may become purely cultural irl the next generation, and obsolete in the third. We see this progress in many hus tutions with which we have to deal. Archi- tects tell us that marble columns were wvened by the sight of trees stripped of the bark and used to sup- port primitive buildings, “So it is in education, Education is at first somewhat unconsciously practical, then more or less traditional and then a revolt follows to make it consciously practical. We are in the third stage today. The trend of edu- cation is more of less toward the con- sciously practical; \perhaps I should say toward the obwious! { practical, Against the studies which do not seem justified by the experience of mern life, both youth and age re- ‘The speaker declared that Prescott, the historian, and Lowell, the poet, has both been failures at learning mathematics, but had succeeded in developing their special genius in spite of the stiff curriculum in the schools of their day. » To Train Girls. Ihr( S. Woolman of Boston, mem- ber of the executive committee of the National Society for the Promo- of Industrial Education, spoke oo the training of girls and women' the trades and industries. She ted out that there are today 1000 women in the trades and in- dustries, and she pointed to the great ork women are doing in Europe to- ~day. “They are running hospitals,” she said, “and driving ambulanc long hours and showi themselves to be capable of thin we have lhwqht them physically u fit_to accomplish.” 3 declared that in general econo- gnuure had called woman from .mnfl(.w the market, and that is little reason to expect any ning of this condition, Important " industries require the skill and deft- ness which women can give. Women Needed in Industries. ‘It has been shown that women are needed in industry, and yet one hears' continually that the training of for it is not a serious necessity. this 1 wish to take issue. The influence of the dull, unskilled and underpaid task of the untrained girl m«ker, the blight of over-fatigue, and the natural impulse of youth to go extreme of excitement as a relief, are a menace to our future.” » . She recommended industrial courses in the “schools #nd evening schools ~ for the older workers, who are unable to leave their jobs now to take day | courses. { « _ Earl:Barnes'of Philadelphia quoted figures to the teachers to prove this is not and never wiil be a young man's - world as it has at times gcen said to “To do great things one must study and be prepared, and it takes time to prepare,” he said. “The only peoT;:.who attain greatness exclu- sively in youth are base ball pitchers and pugilists, also a few of the lyric writers, such as Shelley and Keats.” The speaker named a lot of noted + men who attained greatness and lead- ership in the latter years of their lives, He pointed out in this con- nection Joeffre, Lord Fisher, Von Hindenburg, Mackensen, who are all - 'past 60 or past 70. He said that * Chatles Elliott, the distinguished school man's, most radical and noted books were published after hé was . He showed by figures that the ueldl,l life whl:n on:-;hi;d of the world's great things ha een done is between 60 and 7{) Ages of Man. Of 400 great men whose names were listed, he show that 4 per cent bad attained greatness under 40 years of age; 10 per cent hetween 40 and 50 years of .!e; 24 per cent between 50 and 60; 35 per cent between 60 and - 70; 21 per cent between 70 and 80; 6 per cent between 80 and 90.

Chases Wife With Butcher Knife and Then Takes Poison James Cottrell, 2610 D street, South Side, chased his wife out of the house with a butcher knife and later, as Deputies Hogan and Flynn were about to place him under arrest, calmly swallowed arsenic. Prompt ap- plication of the stomach pump and the use of powerful emetics will prob; ably save Cottrell's life, hursday Mrs. Cottrell filed charges against her husband and the county attorney straightway detailed the deputies to get him. As the neared the home Friday, Mrs. Cottrell ran screaming out of the house, Cot- trell followed, flourishing the butcher knife. As he saw the officers Cottrell pulled from his pants’ pocket a folded paper and quickly swallowed the con- tents. ¢ Mrs, Cottrell says her husband gften threatened to kill himself and er. Clearing House for Puppy Love Closing The campaign waged by the post- office to cut down the number of general 'delivery letters has already resulted in a reduction of 50 per cent, according to Postmaster Fanning. Persons who have been in the habit of having their mail sent to the gen- eral delgltry office. for years have been notified that they must have their correspondence addressed to their homes or place of business. Failure to comply with this request is met by the postoffice officials with returning the mail to the sender or dead-heading it to the dead letter office at Washingtoun. The new ruiing is aimed at the|. young people who have been usin: the department to correspond witl one another without the consent or knowledge of their parents.
