CHATBURN IN FAVOR OF
BIG BUILDING PROGRAM
The following is a summary of a
paper read recently by its author.
George It. Chatburn, professor of ap
plied mechanics at the university, en
titled "Building During the Recon
struction Period." The central idea
conveyed by the address was that own
ers should be advised to go right
ahead with their building plans for
the reasons that within the next year,
at least, (a) there fs not likely to be a
very great decrease In the price of ma
terials; (b) there is not likely to be
a very great decrease in wages; (c)
there is not likely to be a decrease in
interest; (d) much public work was
stopped at the outset of the war and
if this work was needed then, it cer
tainly is needed now; (e) if needed
work is postponed, the ramming up
process will become greater and be
cause of Increased demand, prices may
be higher two or three years hence
than they are now; (f) as many people
as possible should be encouraged to
build homes for the social stability en
tailed; (g" every person in the coun
try should and must have an oppor
tunity to earn an honest living; and
(h) it is the patriotic duty of wealth
to support the government and the
people of the government in times of
peace and readjustment as well as in
times of war. Contractors, therefore,
can confer no greater benefit on soci
ety at this time than to popularize a
building campaign that will sweep the
entire country. The problem facing
the country at this time in regard to
building conditions as stated by Dr.
Chatburn follows: "The prospect is
good but not the best. .There is plenty
of work that ought to be done but own
ers are waiting for a drop in prices."

Are the Juniors Modest, or Don't
They Want a Cornhusker for 1919
The Cornhusker ttaff is appealing
to the class of 1920 for a show of real
brand of Nebraska spirit and loyalty.
The juniors are not playing the Im
portant part that their rank in school
demands of them in the matter of mak
ing the yearbook a success.
L'p to the present time less than one
hundred of the juniors have had their
pictures taken for the "Victory An
nual" and many of these will have to
be retaken. The majority of senior
pictures have already been turned in
and many of the organizations have

SUPPORT FRENCH ORPHAN
The women students of the depart
ment of economics and commerce for
several years have contributed to the
support of a little six-year-old French
girl, Michelle Robert, whose father
was killed in the battle of the Marne.

The completeness of any section of
the publication depends upon the en
thusiasm and interest of the individ
uals and organizations which are a
part of it as well as upon those who
faithfully labor in compiling and edit
ing it. The management is in doubt as
to the possibilities of making up in
any way for the seeming utter indiff

Every right-spirited junior is expect

other members of the olass do theirs.

six field goals to his credit, Jackson
four, and Patty four.

EDUCATION ESSENTIAL TO
LEADERSHIP. SAYS KELLY
Kansas University Dean Tells of
Lessons Learned in S. A. T. C.
Educational Work
LAWRENCE, Kans., Jan. 20. "Col
lege education is essential for leader
ship." "Military discipline is incompatible
with the highest type of college edu
cation." "Colleges must learn to be more
easily adaptable to present demands."
These are some of the conclusions
leached by F. J. Kelly, dean of the
school of education of the university
of Kansas, is an address at Topeka.
Saturday afternoon before the college
section of the council of administra
tion at its first annual sessions.
Dean Kelly, who was at the head of
the educational work of the student
army training corps at the university,
spoke largely from his own experience
In treating the opic,, "Lessons from
the S. A .T. C." He called particular
attention to the fact that influenza
qu uanlines and the signing of the
lrmistice prevented a real test of the
indent army.
"Perhaps the handsomest tribute
ever paid to college education," said
Dean Kelly, "was the plan of the gov
ernment to pay the expenses of men in
American colleges rather than that ed
m alien should cease. In saying this,
however, the government also declar
ed that not college education in gen
eral, but college education pursued
wiih a definite end in view, in worth
paying for.
"There is no reason why experts in
military training should not be en
gaged by the university of college, the
same as experts in chemistry, or his
tory, or engineering."
The "war aims" courses was com
mended by Dean Kelly, as pointing
out to colleges that even in peace
times provision should be made for
training the college men in a way they
are expected to have a part in places
in the world and the problems to en
able them to comprehend their solving.
