THE DAILY N EBRASKAN
NEBRASKA PiO'lEERS
IK a::;;ual meeting
Sixty territorial pioneers attended
the annual meeting of the territorial
pioneers association Tuesday morning
at the Llndell hotel, preceeding the
meeting of the state historical soci
ety, J. C. F. McKesson was re-elected
president, to serve a third term, and
Mrs. Minnie P. Knots secretary-treasurer.
Mr. Jolly of Tecumseh was elect
ed liist vice-president and Col. T. J.
Majors of Peru second vice-president.
The morning was devoted largely
In reminiscences of pioneer days. Mr.
McKeeson in opening the informal
program, paid a tribute to the pioneers
who made the state from nothing hut
huh and sod and whose fighting quali
ties are exhibited in their sons today,
lie called upon Colonel Majors who
came to Nebraska in 1859 and has
lived in the commounity for more than
sixty years. After a brief resume of
the early development of the state
Colonel Majors passed the reminiscen
ces on to Judge Wilbur F. Bryant of
llartington who compared the (lrst
constitutional convention with the one
now in session, of which he is a mem
ber. He prophesied that within a cen
tury Nebraska, which he believes can
support twenty times its present popu
lation will be as tnickly settled as Bel
glum.
Among the old settlers who recalled
their early experiences were Mrs.
Harrows, who has been in the state
sixty four years, having been horn in
Nebraska City in 1856, Mr. Sims,
who settled In Otoe county in 1856,
William Carson, who settled in Ne
braska City in 1854 and went to the
first school In the tehhitory, Capt. A.
M. Trimble, who settled In Lancaster
county i'orty-four years ago, Mrs.
Ingham who came to Nebraska City
in 1S55, Mrs. Carmichael of Omaha,
who came there in 1862 and was a
member of tin; lint graduating class
from thi Or-iaha high school.
Jerome Shuimp dwelt with the pres
ent instead of the past, urging that
there be provisions in the new con
stitution tor I lie development of the
vutercourses of the state, no state in
the union be believes, having as great
resources in this direction as Nebras
ka. The man wiiose vote moved the cap
itol to Lincoln when the Issue was tied
and who was responsible for putting
the seal on the statute book of the
state and the motto of the state,
"Humility before the law." on that
seal, Capt. Isaac Wiles of I'lattsmouth
gave a short speech, reviewing some
or the dramatic incidents relative to
"squatters" Sovereignty.
DEFLATING OUR IDEAS
A man was brought into court for
the illicit distilling of whiskey.
"What is your name?" asked the
judge.
"Joshua, sir," was the reply.
"Joshua?" repeated the judge. "Ah,
are you the Joshua who made the
sun stand still?"
"No. sir. judge." was the an.M-er.
"I is the man who made the moon
shine." Kx.
To prevent a further rising of
prices it Is necessary that production
bo Increased and consumption be do
creased. In Europe and in the United
States there never was a greater reck
lessness in speeding money than there
has been prevailing since the conclu
sion of the armistice. The ease with
which a larger amount of depreciated
money can be earned has diminished
the respect for money and the earger
ness to save. A willingness to sub
ordinate or sacrifice one's wishes and
pleasures to the greater advantage of
the country, splendidly manifested
during the years of the war, has ended
In the present reaction of an orgy of
brazen self-indulgence at the very mo
ment when the war bill Is presented
(or payment.
The first thing to be done is as a
prominent British financier put it "to
deflate our Ideas." The world lives
in a fool's paradise based upon fic
titious wealth, rash promises and mad
Illusions. The disease is world-wide.
It is sproud too far to enable us 10
deal with it as a whole. We may
agree on the principles on which it
must be fought, but each country will
have to be treated In accordance with
Its own particular conditions. The
(list step, however, Is to prick the
bubbles of false premises and to be
gin by clearing the world balance
sheet of fictitious assets as far and
as fast as we can. Paul M. Warbury

NEW SYSTEM WILL
REDUCE NUMBER OF
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
lie present basis in addition lo drill
and physical education.
The change in systems would pro
bably be made as follows: the five
hour courses running thru the en
tire year would be credited as one
point for each quarter carried, or in
some chscs expanded Into two point
courses running through two quar
ters two hour courses running thru
the entire year to be condensed to a
one jMiInt course for one quarter. For
instance. Freshman Kngiish now
given as two hours lor two semes
ters should be given five hours for
one quarter. Advanced two-hour
courses would be condensed to half
point courses for one quarter, as for
example, in chemistry a number ol ad
vanc-fd seminar courses now given as
two hour courses for the year would
be given In the form of half point
courses running one, two, or three
quarters. Three hour courses running
two semesters would be changed to
two point courses for two quarters.
All present one hour courses for a
year would be either abolished or
given as half point courses for one
quarter. Other condensations and ex
pansions would be made as th facul
ty or committees might see fit.
Advantages of' the new system are
numerous. As fi working basis it
would organize all courses on the 6
hour plan, would lessen the number
of subjects to be carried by each stud
ent from the present five, six. or seven
to three in adltion to drill or physl
el ducat Ion; it would simplify the
registration (a point strongly In its
favor), lessen the number of sections
In many lecture subjects, enabl-j the
student to concentrate on a few sub-
t
jerts instead of getting a superficial
and disjointed comprehension of a
number of them, and it would make
the Summer Quarter a part of the
school year, thus greatly streMcihon
ing the work.
