LINCOLN,
TEACHERS NEEDED OVER
ENTIRE UNITED STATES
The report for the month of Jan
uary in the bureau of professional ser
vice at the university shows that 173
towns called for a total of 287 teach
ers. Recommendations were given for
318. Twenty-seven requests were
made for whom the bureau had no can
didates. Fourteen states besides Ne
braska asked for teachers, namely,
Montana, Missouri, Idaho, South Da
kota, Arizona, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas,
California, Oklahoma, Colorado and
Wyoming. Superintendents are calling
upon and writing to the bureau for
teachers for the coming year of
school
The reed for experienced and well
trained teachers was never more im
perative than it Is now. The teach
ers' college Is well prepared to "teach
teachers," and the new building and
working facilities aid in carrying on
this important work. Thousands of
teachers' positions are unable to be
filled in this country because of Ill
preparation and scarcity of men and
women In the teaching profession.

no Intention of Taking State
Volumes from Capitol.

state law library from the capitol or
from the control of the supreme court,
he says.
His letter to Chief Justice Morris
sey follows In detail:
"Dear Sir: I am taking the liberty
of writing you to explain certain
points concerning tie library situa

that an eftoffrt is under way to trans

any one representing the university
administration, nor indeed have -I
ever heard it suggested by anyone.

operetta in three acts, will be given at
the Orpheum Theater Monday and

players, and members of local musical
circles. The choruses and dances will
be presented by members of the vari
ous camp fire groups of the city. The
production will be one of the most
elaborate attempts ever made by Lin
coln talent, and is to be one of the
social triumphs of the winter season.

received from New York for the pre
sentation. Many sororities have
planned box parties for the perform
ances. Miss Dorothy Doyle will take the
part of Fi-FI, the dainty Parisian doll
of the toymaker'3 shop. The spark

comedy will be spontaneous in produc

of the audience.

HUSKERS SMOTHER
STIEHM'S CAGERS
Wallop Indiana Five - Saturday
by Decisive Score of
38 to 18.
Remarkable Showing- by Nebraska
Strengthens Local Fortifications
Against Michigan Aggies.
Rallying from their narrow defeat
of Thursday night, the Cornhuskers
completely outclassed the Indiana
Hoosiers in every department of the
game, winning by a score of 38 to 18
on the Armory floor Friday night.
Schissler's team hit its stride after the
first five minutes of play and from
then on the Hoosiers did not have
a chance. A good-sized crowd filled
the Armory but did not equal the
tturn-out of the previous night. The
floor work of the Nebraska team was
superb in every detail and "Jumbo"
Stiehm left Lincoln fully convicted
that the University of Nebraska is
still producing winning teams.
The Hoosiers started out with a
rush and scored six points before the
Cornhuskers awoke to the fact thai
the game had started. Once the first
Nebraska point had been scored,
however, the Husker flippers were un
conquerable and registered basket af
ter basket. The work of Jesse Patty
at forward was the outstanding fea
ture of the game. The clever Husker
was responsible for eight of the six
teen field goals scored by Nebraska
and also tossed four goals. Bekins
and Jungmeyer each accounted for six
points, Russell four, and Newman two,
swelling the Husker total to thirty
eight. The dismal failure of the Hoos
iers in the Friday game with the Husk
ers marked ithe second defeat for
"Jumbo's" team on the western trip.
The Creighton University five defeat
ed the Indiana team 28-20 in Omaha
Wednesday night of last week. The
overwhelming defeat of the Hoosiers
at the hands of the Huskers, how
ever, indicates that Schissler's team
would not experience much trouble
with Creighton, if the Catholic aggre
gation was on the Husker itinerary.
Saturday night Stiehm's team laced
the Iowa hoopsters at Iowa City and
again went down to defeat, the oount
being 28-20. This practically ruined
Stiehm's chances for carrying off first
honors in the Big Ten Conference..
