Preliminary work on the now phy fcics building will commence next Mon day. The contractor who has the work in charge was on the campus looking over the ground yesterday and statod that the excavation for the new build ing will be started the beginning of next week and pushed with all possi ble speed. The earth excavated will lie taken to the north end of the athletic Held" and used to fill in the hollow fhere. The. south end of the grand - will be torn down and rebuilt tho north end, instead f being- moved bodily, as wan at first contem plated. While tho Immediate beginning of work on. tho bujlding will interfere more than was at flt expected. It is probablo that it will bo unnecessary to take the two games with the Omaha League to tho F. & M. park, as the grounds will not be torn up much by that time. That work was not expected to be gin for some time yet is shown by the fact that a force of men was on th fiold esterday morning rolling the track for tho preliminary meets. In all likelihood these will all be hold at tho F. & M. park, although everything depends of couise. on the speed with which the work is pushed. RoS !- 11 ' I 0 - M ST - ft BMTJL. II V fhere. itand Aar -tho . This afternoon the famous Nebraska Indians will perform on our athletic field for the amusement of the popu lace. This enterprising bunch has tho habit in touring the states to the east of us and cinching the greater part of tho games that they play. When they get into their mid-season form they play a tiff game. They have been making thenr headquaTters 1n Lincoln for the past week and have had opportunity for getting In some steady practice. The University learn has been con tinuing its practice regularly, and the Holders are holding the ball as they ought to do. Class- and fraternity teams have been invading the field this week, and it has been a scene of near ly constant activity. The game this afternoon will be a good one, as the Indians have not been practicing for nothing. They were beaten by our team last year, and would appreciate a- victory this after noon quite highly. But they look no better to our team than they have looktd in tho past, and the chances nro that they wil have plenty of op portunity to exert themselves. To morrow they will again play us. Adams will probably pitch this af ternoon. He is entirely recovered from tho Injury he received at Teeum seh, and is In pretty good form. The men arc all showing up fast In prac tice, and this afternoon's game will bo worth, tho trouble of coming to see. Nebraska Indians vs. Nebraska TODAY AND TOMORROW. ADMISSION 25 cents PEDAGOGICAL CLUB MEETS. Number of Interesting Addresses by Prominent Instructors. The Pedagogical club met Wednes day evening in room 212 University hall. Thero was an unusually large attendance. - Professor Luckey Mrs. B. M. Clark, secretary of the Teachers' 1nire.au, Who told of tho wotic and tho plans of the bureau. It alms to assist graduates In securing good positions. The Uni versity makes no charge for these ser vices. Mrs. Clark has changed her office from U. 104 to U. 107, where she may bo found from three until four o'clock every afternoon. Processor Luckey then explained that those wn have to do with the plnchig of teachers must recommend those best adapted to the )osltions to bo ft' led. Tho right teaoher In tho right H)sition is the aim of the Uni versity. It is doing a teacher an In jury to recommend her for a posi tion for which sho te not suited. Prof elisor Luckey then introduced Dr. II. K. Woire. principal of the Lin coln High School, who spoke on "The Personal Characteristics that tend tf influence the amployment and suc cess of teachers as seen from the standpoint of principal of tb.e High standpoint of the principal or the High school He spoke in part as follows: "The ideal teaoher or ono who approaches the ideal seldom goes into the profes sion of leaching, because he who is an cal teacher would also be success ful in business or some other lino of work moro remunerative. Teachers go into their work with a missionary spirit, because they love the work. Thero is no such thing as an actAial ideal The ideal is something Mm faith. It is hoped for and not seen.' Thr speaker then mentioned .some of the characteristics of a teacher that might approach tho Ideal: Perfect health, vigor and force, firmness, a knowledge of subjects to be taught, a wide oxperienco with tho world and imagination arc all valuable to the high school teacher. Dr. Wolfe emphasized the power of the human volco In controlling pupils. A positive, strong voice will do won ders to control high school pupils. Along with tho firm voice should conic tho equally firm, dogmatic, positiv manner. These characteristics would not make for success in the grades or la the university, but arc effoofhe In the average high school. Tho fcpeaker also warned teachem against nagging pupils. Nagging is perhapb as sure death' to the high school pupil as blood lotting. You wil1 not get anything from a pupil if you na; him General knowledge is of more im portance in the high school than spe cial knowledge. General knowledge is necessary to get tho pupil to wake up and do something. Astronomy is one of the branches which It is well for a tacher to have evenif he does not teach it. Teachers should be Imaginative. Most of them are too -prosaic. They should let their Imaginations run at least as fast as that of the child. A teaolu r should possess high moral qualities, and should bo genuine. Dr. Wolfe considers that tho teach er In Nebraska today has a better op portunity to get good positions and a good salary than tho teacher of twen ty or twenty-five years ago. The meetings of the Pedagogical club are very helpful to those prepar ing to teach. SPECIAL MUSIC. Strong Address by Dr. Greene Stnday Afternoon. In addition to tho unusually mtrong address scheduled for tho men's meet ing in. Memorial Hall next Sunday af ternoon at 3 o'clock, when Dr. .1. L. Greene, superintendent of the state hwpital for iasane. will speak, a rare musical treat is in store for University men In uttPtidance. Messrs. C. W. Tul leys and II. W. Bradford, both young men prominent In university circles, will sing. Roth of these gentlemen hae voices of rich tone quality, and have a promising future before them. They have entertained University aud iences on many occasions, alwa? singing with feeling and ofict t "A Thing Every Man Ought to Know" certainly ini hides every man in tills University. Dr. Greene is one of those men who have something of importance to say. and who at the same time has tho faculty of saying it in an impressive and interesting man ner. He is known as a reliable pjo cialist far beyond the bounds of this state, and is a recognized authority in the line of work In which he has made a special investigation. Tills meeting will .last Just one hour, and will yield much profit to any and every man. Farm Team Beats Cotner. The State Farm team added another viitory to Its growing list by defeat ing Cotner Wednesday afternoon by a score of 8 to 1. The game was played at Cotner before a good sized crowd. At the beginning of the seventh In ning the score was 1 to 0. and the Farm boys busied themselves knock ing out eight runs in the. next three innings. Smith for the Agricultural train, pitched a good game, and Ruff did flue work behind the bat, throw ing out eight men who attempted to steal. The Farm boys will play Wes leyan Saturday and may meet the Uni eisity team soon and show It they have-a -man who can catch behind the bat. Y. W. C. A. Notes. Sends List of Judges tcbj Kansas. Our debating boarel forwarded its list of judges to Kansas yesterday evening. The list contains the names of four prominent men, and a return list from Kansas'ls now expected. The Kansas association will send a list to our board, and Chancellor Strong will send ono to Chancellor Andrews. We will have to choose ono from each list Kansas will chose one from our list and thus we will choose two Judgrs from her lists. Sunday all the new members (fifty In number) will be formally received. All are urged to bo present at this recognition service. Miss May Davis, of Wesleyan, will lead. Miss Rita Clark led the nqon prayer meeting yesterday, which was most ly a song service, and gave a beautiful lesson, "Set a watch. O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lip!" For tho next two weeks the noon meetings will be led by members of the new cabinet. Last Saturday afternoon. Miss Ethel Lee Howie was called to her home at Alliance, Neb., by telegram. Her fath er, pastor of the First Presbyterian church there, died before her arrival. The funeral party passed' through Lincoln yesterday on their way to the old home at Washington, la. A num ber of tho girls were at the depot with flowers for tho bereaved ones. It Is hoped Ethel will return to tho Univer sity and finish her course. EXAMS FINISHED Yesterday Completed The Rho des Scholarship Examinations. The Rhodes Scholarship examina tions closed yesterday afternoon. Six in all were given, and the grounds In Greek, Latin and mathematics were thoroughly covered. No one who took the examinations cares to claim that they were especially easy, while most of the candidates adhere strongly to the contrary view. All are glad that tho examinations wcro simply qualify, ing. but none regret having taken thorn as the discipline in reviewing and in doing the necessary work was beneficial. Much indeflnitcnoRs prevailed con cerning these examinations', and in tho-futuro It will lie possible to knoiy moro abofct them. Tho Information and directions sent out from London, were both In themselves clear and ex plicit, but some Important points wero not made clear, when knowledge con cerning them would have been appre ciated. It is not known wnat tho pass ing grade is or when word will be sen from London concerning the re sults. Many other technical things are obscure, but It Is expected that, en lightenment will be. furnished regard ing there bofoio the next examination occurs. The candidates wore given work re quiring twelve hours close application in all. Tho tests in Greek and Latin were considered quite rigorous. None of candidates complained of the transla tion of Uio text Into English, and the Latin piose composition while uncer tain did not cause much trouble. Greek translation was not especially difficult for most of the men. But all of them are loud in condemning Greek grammar, because of tho diffi cultlea presented. Some of them had spent many weary hours cramming on points that were nover touched upon, only to be assailed from their weat side by some indescribable eccentrici ty of form that was an utter stranger to them. Form was more frequently touched upon that had been expected and syntax was almost entirely over looked. This represents to a eortaln de gree the different methods of training in America and England. Some of the candidates were re minded of the fact that arithmetic was not so easy as it might have been. A number of catches were thrown in. Algebra contained a number of things that had long since been banished from their memories and which wer hard to recall. The much dreaded bi nomial theorem remained unsprung. Immediately after each examination was closed the lists of answers were sealed up and sent to Washington, D. C, whence they will bo forwarded to London. Some time must elapse be fore the announcements of. the results will be received. The committee awarding the scholarship will meet In June and consider the all-around capa bilities, of tho men who have qualified. Professor Cook of this University. Professor Cox of Wesleyan, and Pro fessor Bush of Cotner superintended the examinations.
