Nebraska, Bulletin, No. I, February, 1914. THE FARMERS' UNION 227 the completion of the binder-twine plant in the state penitentiary, and state ownership, operation, and control of telephone and hydroelectric utilities. These demands, although in part radical enough, represented nothing more than a recapitulation of earlier farmer resolutions. The convention's stand on the qualifications that should be required of rural teachers, however, was neither customary nor forward-looking. It op- posed ...any legislation which might require country school teachers to be high school graduates on the theory that teachers' qualifications might better be measured by their ability to pass "a creditable examination" before their respective county superintendents than by their having had a secondary education. The convention also opposed the granting of pensions to school teachers, holding that they had "no more right to a pension than the man who has spent the best part of his life tilling the soil. " 16 As time elapsed, a strong element which was against government aids of all types blossomed forth within the Nebraska Union.
