Three more tennis courts will help a

student, who wishes, a chance to play
tennis once in a while. The regents,
in all probability, will decide in favor
of these three courts.

THE W. A. A.
The girls of the department of phy
sical education, through the W. A. A..
have accomplished a number of note
worthy things for Nebraska. They
have worked under difficulties, too,
for they have had to depend entirely
upon themselves for the funds with
which to carry out their plans.
Last year, when the first national
Women's Athletic Association con

Nebraska girls had no way Qf secur

Generally speaking, the man or
woman who cannot save money is n
failure, and those who can save are
successes.
Thrift is un insurance policy
against utter failure and the process
jof saving is generally of more real
lvalue to the individual than the
amount saved. If thrift meant merely
saving money. Benjamin Franklin
would have gone down in history
as a successful miser, and Lincoln
and Gladstone would have borne the
stigma that comes to the avaricious
man.

OUR NATION'S NEED
Next to loyalty to sound ethical
principles a nation's greatest
strength lies in the intelligence of Its
citizens. Education is the greatest
safeguard against mistakes of Judg
ment. The nation in which the mass
of citizens simply accept, without
thought or real conviction, what
somebody el.se tells them, may have
a form of democracy but it does not
have substance. No greater service
can be performed for this or any
other country at the present time
than that service which results In
arousing the peole to fre, independent
thought, and to courageous and free
expression of personal conviction. The
ignorant man. who is generally dis
inclined to think, becomes an easy
prey for the man who is base enough
to take advantage of his credulity.
Nothing has been more striking in
the course of recent events, with the
possible exception of popular ignor
ance, than the readiness of the
mass of the people to believe what
ever they were told, especially when
it happens to harmonize with their
prejudices and passions. The up
heaval of the world has almost com
pletely stripped us of our national
traditions and the force of precedents.-
We stand face to face In the
midst of debris, with the task of re
construction. What shall the course
of procedure be? Will the people to
whom the country belongs seek cut
and call forth those who are compe
tent and worthy to lay down clear
and adequate plans frr the recon
struction? Will they insist upon
such an intelligible explanation of
those plans as will enable them to
understand what is to be done and
why they are to do what is assigned
them and thus become Intelligent
constructors of the edifice in which
they and their children are to live?
The greatest statesman will be that
sttaesman who, in the spirit of gen
uine patriotism, will arouse the people
of their need of Intelligence. He wOI
arouse them to think and lead tbem
so to think as to make real, independ
ent and Intelligent citizens of them.
we need leadership. Not until the
peorle themselves work out the solu-
Let our teachers, our four-minute
orators, or preachers and all others
who are valiantly working for the
success of these war issues, point
out the fact that when a man saves
money for these purposes he is put
ting in one good lick for Uncle Sam
and two for himself; for the nation
will march on to victory, the cause
of true righteousness and Justice will
prevail and he who fails to help is
cheating himself.
Suddenly we have rushed into' an
era demanding individual efficiency.
The heyday of the slip-shod person
is gone forever. Thriftlessness is a
word written on the page of a book
that is closed. The day of doing
things to the very best advantage is
here. We have reached the period
when thrift has come into its own.
The whole world has tightened up its
belt.
The man who bucceeds from now
on is he who can do, and do, and
do. Individual camouflage will no
longer bring success. Hereafter only
the man who can do things best will
b called to sit among the mighty.
The war has brought about so
inmh waste and destruction that
there is no place now for the Idler,
the incompetent, and the spendthrift.
If you are a young man with am
bitions for a successful career, I say j
to you. above all things else: "Learn I
j
thrift." And the way to learn thrift j
today is to buy a Liberty Bond or j
a collection of war savings stamps. 1
Billboards by day and blazing elec-j
trie lights by night are flashing the
message to us that thrift will win the
war. The very air is surcharged
with it. It is easy to start the open
ing wedge of a thrifty career now.
Bands are playing, the boys are
marching, the flag is waving.
A hundred million Americans can
read their duty as tisarly as the
sun in the sky. Be thrifty, stop
waste, buy a Liberty Bond. The
man who cannot become thrifty to
day with all this encouragement;
with he whole civilized world, as it
were, back of him, urging him orf In
his worthy endeavor, is indeed a
hopeless drifter and an incurable
spendthrift.
If he cannot start saving now, his
fate is sealed forever.
None of us ever will see again
days such as these. Never again
will there be the stirring encourage
ment to practice thrift that we have
today, and In the midst of It all,
let us grasp its complete significance.
If you have never saved before.
