We aro all endowed with a certain amount of brains, which each must cultivate for himself, also with character which is our own to build, and the great major ity have been equipped with good health. There are a few however, who always labor under a great handicap which cannot be overcome but which must be constantly fought against if they are to get on in the world. Some people have become famous in spite of, and partly by reason of, the heavy cross that they have to bear in the form of some great physical en cumbrance. One of our senators has been blind for forty years. A young woman who is both blind and deaf is a noted musician while others who are actually crippled have made wond erful successes in varied professions. The people that do not realize what these handicaps mean are apt to be inconsiderate toward them, uninten tionally to be sure, but it hurts just the same. The laughing jest thrown at the one who was unable to tak? part in sports, because of some dis ability is probably accepted with a smile, but that recipient 1 svery liable to go home and shed more than one bitter tear over those thoughtless words. They do not "get used to it," they are very conscious of their limi tation, and are sensitive to remark1!. It takes courage and a great deal of grit to work against such heavy odds that often appear overwhelmingly great. The handicapped do not ask for sym pathy, that is the last thing that they want, but a little consideration is up predated. Be careful what you say, and refrain from rubbing it in. Put yourself in your fellowman's place and see if you could grin and bear it like he does. OUR IDEAL AUTUMN. This editorial has had a race with the weather. It had to be written. II really should have been written ear lier. Perhaps even before this appears In type, for the weather man will have put an end to our sub-Indian summer, tha days which put nside the traditional "melancholy days" f the autumn poets. With few exceptions the last month j has been remarkable for itg continued good weather, clear, bright, culm days and brisk mid to some romantic nights. Studies have been at a disad vantage with the call of tho outdoor We ought to be grateful for thn "weather man" who has been so kind to us. As one of the best of modern writers puts It, "Tho harmony of the spheres fills the spaces of Infinity, and If wo hear It not, it Is because as Plato says, our ears are stopped with earth." Most of us have taken advantag-3 of the opportunities afforded by the splendid weather. Let us we that In the "melancholy days" that will come, we keep up with the same Nebraska spirit whioh iharacterlzes the major ity of the students of the University of using every power we have. BETTER ENGLISH. There are six brands of English, according to a well known Lincoln newspaperman. They are good, bet ter, bett, bad, worse and abominable. Which of these Englishes do you use? Of the six classes of English, every one naturally wants to use the "best ' but all people can use "good" Eng lish. Thla Is not the case, however, with a great many. They use what ever words that first comes into their minds no matter whether they be good or ban. At the University of Iowa last week was held a "Better Speech" campaign. Would this not be of value as a part of the University of Nebraska yearly program ? During this week, posters might fie placed in all buildings and all in structors could be constantly on the lookout to correct all errors in speech While the active campaign wouli last but a week, the spirit of better English created during the campaign would carry on throughout the year, and the speech of all students woulJ be materially improved. This does not mean that University of Nebraska students use bad Eng lish but they do not choose their words as carefully as is possible. Of course, students would have to ooperate with the faculty to produce the best results Every student would correct his fellows whenever ha noticed a mistake in his speech. Con stant correcting taken in the right way would soon have a good effect. Many high schools of the state hoi 1 this sort of a campaign each year The results they obtain by so doing: .r than ,.epay efforts put into it AThought For Today. CLARION CALL. (By Jane Priest.)

JOURNALISTIC TRAINING ON PROFESSIONAL BASIS Need of Strong Natural Organization of Newspaper Writes and Editors. "With the development of schools of journalism, training for newspaper work is passing out 'of the appren ticeship method of the trades into the college method of the other pro fessions like law, medicine, and en gineering," said Professor Wallard G Bleyer, director of journalism at the University of Wisconsin and presi dent of the American association o Teachers' of Journalism, in address ing the students of the Medill School cf Journalism at Chicago. "Just as with the development of professional training for law and me dicine, the state has set up higher and higher standards for the practice of these professions, so it is not un likely that, because of the importance of newspapers in shaping public opin ion, definite requirements will be es tablished for admission to the pr fession of journalism," he continued. "The success of our democratic form of government depends on sound public opinion, which is the compo site cf individual private opinion! largely if not entirely on the basis cf the news that they read in the newspapers. "It is even more important to the state that the newspaper men and women who gather, write and edit the news be well informed and well trained for their work, than that law yers and doctors be qualified to prac tice their professions. "The profession of journalism suf fers today from the lack of a strong national organization of newspaper writers and editors, comparable to the American Bar association and the American Medical association. "Such an organization with state and local branches, like the state and county bar and medical societies, could be of great service in estab lishing standards for the profession of journalism, similar to the codes of ethics of the medical and legal pro fessions."
