TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR BOOK
FOR ONLY A FEW DOLLARS.
l"nd you ever stop to think that If
your college annual was ever Rotten
out for you alone It would cost you
$10,0t)0.00?
That is what it cost to engrave
and print such a publication, and
when you think of the small sum
that you have to pay for it, it should
make you realize more than ever the
earnest effort that is put into the
publishing of this book, so that you
can have an annual to lake home
with you that costs you next to
nothing.
During the war, when everything
was curtailed, a large university de
cided to do away with the annual,
that is, the faculty so decided. The
student body Immediately circulated
a petition and decided that they
should not discontinue the book, and
by all means should publish it. Girls
were elected as business managers
and editors and undertook this tre
mendous task, achieving remarkable
success.
This simply demonstrates the place
a college annual holds in the hearts
of the student body of an educational
institution. There is no other pubii
cation printed by your college that is

GIVING THE RIGHT THINGS IN
THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
Old Scrooge. Dickens' famous char
acter, is probably the most famous
-uer of Christmas in tho world.
"Christmas Hah!" said Old
Scrooge.
Put there are thousands of men.
women and children in this country
who "Bah" with Scrooge either be

bated Christmas Lecause he neither
gave nor received the righi things in
the right spirit He has imitators for
the same reason.
The object of Christmas giving is
, make those to whom you give
happy. That is the only way you
can make YOURSELF happy. You
cannot make those you care for happy
by ill considered gifts. " your gift
means nothing except a package tied
with red ribbon with holly wreathes
on it, it is valueless either to the
Kiver or the receiver, no matter
whether its wrappings cover a dia
mond neckless or a fifty cent necktie.
To give real Christmas gifts you
must put thought as well as money
into them-tbought for the welfare
and profit of the future as well as

TEACHING CITIZENSHIP.
The capability with which the chil
dren of today make use of the ballot
when they become voters Is largely
due to their training while in school.
Citizenship In this country is not
inherited; it must be taught and at
tained by an understanding of its
obligations. The citizen should have
a knowledge of its practicat applica
tion in the relations of the .citizen to
his public duties.
The introduction of the course in
citizenship into the University is a
forward step in the solution of the
problem of belter qualified citizens
Kvcry student should be taught the
purpose of our governmen., city, slate
and national and in parti :ular the r
lation of the citizen to the govern
ment. The extension of 'he light of
suffrage to women opens the Way fo.
a general system of education in
citizenship applicable to all students.
Few of the voters who will be the
guardians of the future have the
opportunity of becoming acquainted
with the fundamentals of citizenship
ns the colleges and universities afford
It is therefore the more proper that
college men and women hculd avsiii
themselves of citizenship ties.
There is no greater privilege i
earth than American citizenship, and
yet that privilege is much abused
when considered from the intentions
of those who first defined it. Citizens
have failed to perform their obliga
tions because they did not know their
duties as citizens. Interest in good
citizenship and good government is
needed to bring about results. There
is no better means than the teaching
of such courses in the schools

New Reading Room of Association
Proves Popular With Students
The new reading room, conducted
by the Y. M. C. A. in the old cafeteria
room in the Temple building is prov
ing more popular than predictions by
the most optimistic.
The University authorities gave the
room to the Y. M. C. A. because the
need for such a recreation center was
badly felt. It is filled practically all
the lime, and during meal hours It Is
crowded to overflowing. The Forum
holds its weekly meetings there on
Thursday.
Through the courtesy of the ex
change .apartment of the Paily Ne
braskan, college papers Irom institu
tions all over the country are left in
the reading and social room. One o'
the most complete files of college
and University papers in Lincoln may
be found there.

"As to the practical question of ex
penses involved, it can be stated that
the Administrative Council, after care
ful consideration first, of the actual
cost of salaries for the best world-
teaching talent and other necessary
maintenance charges, and second, of
the number of persons who can be
accepted, has fixed upon a tuition
fee of $425 of which $75 is to be
aid on registration here and the re
nainder on , matriculation at Panama.
The maximum round trip steamship

Hit it is expected that special rates
"or students of the college will be
granted by the War Department
which controls the Panama Steamship
company. Good board and room can
he obtained from $50 to $100 per
month. Hence the entire fixed ex
penses for the six months course
would be from $1,000 to $1,200, sub
iect to such increase or decrease as
the person's tastes and income will
permit.
"Kindly give this proposition your
parly and sincere attention and ask
your proper committee or officers of
your organization to act upon it as
soon as possible, because the number
of persons who can be cared for in
this college is limited, and the list of
applications will probably be closed
by November .30.
