the University this fall have been; 0ur ieUcrs which go over there
heard to express the belief that the j shoui(i j,e just a8 numerous and In
band work would cot be Important J teresting as possible. Not the things
enough to enter. Captain Maclvor's
statement should correct this Impres
sion at once. The work of the band
man is absolutely essential to the mil
itary organization and the student
who enters the musicians' unit will be
deprived of none of the advantages of ,
the regular soldiers. The training
will be intensive and military drill will
be given them as a part of their pro
gram. Walter Damrosch, director of the
New York Symphony orchestra, who
recently returned from a visit to
France, where he completed plans for
the proposed army school for the in
struction of bandmaster and musi
cians, reports that General Pershing is
extremely anxious to Increase the
efficiency of the bands. Congress has
now made it possible for bandmasters
to be commissioned second lieuten
ants. Plans are now being made
whereby the number of army bands in
the service of the United States will
be doubled.
No student should feel any hesi
tancy in entering this branch of the
service and those who have had expe
rience and have not yet tried out
6hould report tonight.
PUNCTUALITY
'Tis better to be twenty minutes too
early than a half a minute too late,
especially if you are to make a railroad
connection, and to a large extent this
applies in making-your way in the bus
iness world. When you are selling
a man something and he is good
enough to make an appointment with
you, it behooves you to be absolutely
on time.
There is a famous architect, who, to
this day is most exact in keeping his
appointments, and it came about
through an incident that happened
once when he was struggling for rec
ognition. He had been given an ap
polntment with a gentleman whose
business meant considerable to him
if he succeeded in obtaining it. His
appointment called that he be pres
ent at eleven o'clock sharp. He ar
rived at reven minutes past eleven
applied to the secretary and stated, "I
have an app'iitnient with Mr. So and
So;" whereupon the secretary replied,
"Ton mean you had an appointment
which you di1 cot keep, as it is now
seven minutes past eleven. Mr. will
see you tcrmrrow at a quarter to
three." Needless to say he was on
hand long before the appointed hour
next day, and when admitted to the
gentleman's office was profuse la his
apologies for being late the previous
day. lie was stopped in the middle of
them ry his prosperous patron, who
ald, "Young man, you are Just start
ing off In your career. I could have
eeen ycu yesterday, bat I refused, with
the Ideal cf impressing upon you tLat
whea a business can rakes the trouble
to set an hour for you to see htm. It Is
abrolutc'y iccutnbsnt upon yon to be
there on the stroke of the minute."
He never forgot this advice, and he
found it pail him J fulsome dividends.
Of course, punctuality should not al
ways b on the side of the man who
Is seeking 'he Interview. How often
a cun BynTTds himself Id a private
office with all the privacy of a prince
ly potontate, allowing his callers to
hang around the office for hours at a
time awaiting his pleasure. It Is very
seldom any business which you may
be doing Is important enough to keep
you from seeing promptly those who
desire to seo you, or, If circumstances
do arise whereby it is not feasible, at
least an effort should be made to ad
vise your callers to come back later,
naming a certain set time. Life is too
short and there Is too much to do to
needlessly waste time. Procastina
tlon is the Time thief, but Punctuality
Is the Time saver. From the By
Water Magazine.
YANKS IN FRANCE ARE
HUNGRY FOR LETTERS
FROM THE HOME FOLKS
Letters have never meant so much
to the world as they do today. Now
they are as a chain connecting those
far from home with those who have
remained. In fact, today, letter day, Is
a "Red Letter Day." And the lector
which we are interested in but the
things which the one we are writing to
are Interested in. Every little bit of
news or "scandle" will be eagerly
read, every little joke appreciated.
The "waiting mail line" is not made
lmpaUent b. the dun gi0Omy letter,
it's the bright, gay little letter which
causes one to chuckle as he reads.
General Pershing has said that let
ters do more than any other thing to
keep up the morale of the army. So
write!

NEBRASKA LIBRARIAN
NOW AT WASHINGTON
Prof. M. O. Wyer Helping Supply
Books lor Men in Can
tonments Professor M. G. Wyer, who was the
librarian at Nebraska University un
til last May, is engaged by the Ameri
can Library association in Washing
ton to find and secure men for librar
ies at the various cantonments.
At the very beginning of the war the
association took up the work of sup
plying the' soldiers at home and
abroad with books that would be in
teresting ar.d profitable to them. The
Carnegie Institute gave $320,000 to
establish a $10,000 library in each of
the thirty-two cantonments in the
United States. In the drive for books
of all kinds which soon followed,
3.000,000 books, 12,000 of which came
from Lincoln, were released from pri
vate homes to be placed in the hands
of the army.
. As the rush of books and the build
ing of new libraries made it necessary
to have an efficient organizer at every
cantonment, Mr. Wyer was called last
October to organize a library at Camp
Logan where he was busy for three
months. On account of the efficiency
which he displayed at that time the
government borrowed him again last
May for service in Washington where
he found it impossible to leave to
come back to the University this fall.
