STORY HARDING
For This Issue
THE COURAGE OF PREJUDICES VS. CONVICTIONS.
An interesting remark came to our attention recently and we
would like to ask your opinion of it. A lady remarked that too often
we had the courage of our prejudices rather then our convictions.
Isnt it true? If we hear of a new idea which does not quite agree
with former customs, we immediately taboo it as wholly impossible.
And not after having analyzed the proposition, but on the first hear
ing. It is like the case of the man, who when asked if he liked a
certain other business man, said, "No, I hate hini." "But do you
know him at all?" "No, if I did, I couldn't hate him." In this same
way, we all react to a new institution. Thomas Edison struggled
years to have his plan of electricity accepted; Bell had the same
fight with his telephone and Marconi almost gave up experimenting
because of discouragement and lack of support
One can find extreme cases of this in the types of people who
say, when urged to send their children away to school for further
education, "Well, I didn't even have an eighth grade schooling and 1
guess what's good enough for their Pa and Ma is good enough for
them." Of course, as University students, we do not agree with this
statement, but just as narrow opinions are expressed here at Ne
braska. In discussing the honor system, they have been heard to
say, "Why, it never has worked. Therefore, it can't" We wonder
if students stop to think that they are confining themselves to most
narrow premises when they make such remarks on any subject with
out pretty careful consideration. If we were to hold a "truth meet
ing," would they actually say the same things then?
MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
The Department of Construction, Grounds and Buildings are
doing a splendid thing in installing the several local municipally
owned systems of transmission. The new telephone system, which is
not only unusually more economical, but also more widely distributed
since the low cost enables practically all departments to have a
phone, is working out very successfully. In addition, the office is now
laying a light and power line from the city campus to the state farm
campus. This is the service line for use for twenty-five years.
The question of municipal ownership is a universally interesting
one and is admitted very successful in most places. So it seems a
most feasible plan for the University to operate their own lights, tele
phones, transportation and printing offices. This is only the begin
ning of the plan of ownership extension and it is hoped that it will
grow rapidly.
VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE.
Vocational Guidance is a high-sounding term but one which has
been vague hitherto. Within the last few months, however. Voca
tional Guidance at Washington has become a reality, and for the
pasr. week or two it has begun to show itbelf no negligible agent in
solving the pot-college questions for women.
A lack of knowledge of the fields open to them has in the past
led women to be placed in positions entirely unsuited to them and
often down-right distasteful. Teaching ha? appeared to be the only
profession which offers board and lodging and a little over to the
holder of a degree. As a consequence women whom Heaven never
intended to be teachers have imposed upon themselves the difficult
tasK of making themselves into schoolmarms. The result have
been unsatisfactory to the novice and her profession alike.
There has been a great deal of talk about woman's place in the
new industrial order of things. We have heard many times the com
monplace saying that a woman can do anything a man can do. Many
of us have laughed at it as expressing the views of the ultra-new New
Woman. The exponents of Vocational Guidance make no such ex
travagant claim. They manitain merely that there are things a
woman can do which very likely she never thought of doing and that
a University woman endowed with intelligence plus enthusiasm has
good reason to believe that she can accomplish the unusual. They
plan to bring the unusual in the way of business to her attention.
The woman in charge of the work here departed last week for
a convention at Cornell which will formulate plans for . increasing
efficiency in placing women in professions. The suggestion which
she will bring back should be of gTeat value to Washington women

CAMPAIGN FOR GIFT TO
FRANCE WELL UNDER WAY
FEATURE NOVEL PROGRAM
Money Will Be Used to Erect
Handsome Statue by Amer
ican Sculptor.
The campaign for America's Gift
to France is progressing nicely under
the able direction of Frofessor Conklin.
Poxes are placed at various points on
the campus for contributions to this
cause. This gift will be a colossal
statue in commemeration of the vic
tory of the French forces in 1914, and
will be located at the very end of
he drive to Taris.
The distinguisht-1 American sculp
tor, Frederick MacMonnies, is now
working on sketches for the statue.
When completed it will constitute the
embodiment of the feeling which all
Americans have for France. Mac
Monnies, whose work is exceptionally
well known in both France and Amer
ica, is especially well fitted to carve
this statue. During the war he re
mained in France and turned over his
studio near the Marne as a hospital
for French soldiers whom he aided in
every way. He is thoroughly in sym
pathy with, and is peculiarly able to
interpret, the friendship of America
and her admiration for the heroic
Fpirit of France.
It is estimated tbat $250,000 will be
required to design and construct this
statue, transport it to France and to
erect it
