'themselves. Students used to have tb
powers of reasoning and reflection,
They seem to have lost them. Gener
ally they accept facts as true without
any Investigation.
If Columbus had accepted the the
ory of a flat world, America wouid
have been undiscovered for a time, at
least. This Is a homely example, but
it brings out the point that sometimes
reflection about a fact changes the
whole theory of things. Certainly we
don't believe the dictum of one Ameri
can college that until a student is a
Junior he is incapable of reflection.

IS THIS FAIR?
Some instructors grade their str
cVnts entirely upon the showing which
they make in tun fina! examinations.
Iii spite of the fact, that these same
students have conscientiously done
their work from day to day, have noT
wished a single recitation period and
1-ave been faithful in writing all writ
ten assignments, this work counts lit
tle or nothing toward inch final aver
age. Is this fair to the student who makes
a low average in the final examina
tlon because he is under a nervous
strain? Is it fair to the student who
tas been vitally interested in hi3 work
the entire semester, has done it care
fully and according to the instruc
tions of the teacher, and yet who
fails to make a passing mark in his
final examination?
The argument will be advanced by
some that if the student has done his
work conscientiously and faithfully
during the entire semester he will be
able to answer any questions which
he may be asked to answer in the ex
amination. This may be true, but it
should be taken into consideration
that very often students are not at
their best during examination hours.
Some students are required to take
&a many as seven and eight examin
ations. Under such conditions the stu
dent's mind is taxed to such an ex
tent that hi3 best work cannot be
done during examination week.
Grading on daily work may be a
"primary" system, but if it is more
fair to the student who has worked
the entire Bemester, then such a "pri
mary" system is applicable to our colleges.
LACK OF STUDENT REFLECTION.
A professor recently maife the state
ment In class that the students of
1921 show a painful lack of reflection.
In the various courses of a somewhat
technical nature, the points are given
to the student either directly from the
Intructor or he reads them from a
text-book, assuming them to be true.
Especially Is this true in regard to
printed matter, because of its fixity.
The written word Is believed without
the hesitation that usually accompan
ies the spoken word, psychologists say.
No matter how technical the point In
question may be, the present-day stu
dent has a tendency to believe every
thing that is presented to his eyes or
ears, if be is assured it is sustantially
correct. He does not think of the sig
nificance of a particular fact; he does
not reflect. The results of a particu
lar truth are not considered by the
student mind.
It used to be that students doubted
the correctness of technical assertions,
if they had not before reasoned out
the correctness of the assertion to
LET THERE BE NO FRACI (?)
It is reported that students dis
agreed with some of the decisions of
Referee Quigley at the first game with
the Oklahoma Sooners Monday after
noon, and Jhut the) voiced their dis
approval out loud from the ringsldo
scats. Although many persons who
were at the game expressedtheir opin
ions that Nebraska rooters were a lit
tie hns'y in speaking their thoughts
out loud, it must be remembered that
such things are uttered on the spur,of
the moment and perhaps those who
were ring-leaders in the yelling did
not consider the effect of their excla
nations.
Somebody suggested that perhaps
the reason for the remarks was the
fact that the Referee was the well'
known Quigley, National League base
ball umpire and one of the officials of
the World's Series of several years
ago. Maybe the wished, by calling
his name, to tell the other 'spectators
that Nebraska had the sen-ices of a
well-known official.
