PARA3LE OF THE AMBITIOUS
YOUTH.
Once upon a time two desirable
seats presented themselves to an am
bitious youth with a yearning for "sit
Un' pretty." Undecided as to which
one to choose, he tried to take both
at once. As a result he landed between
them on the floor.
Isn't it true that a similar fate
awaits most students who try to suc
ceed in a number of activities? Tho

AMBITIONS.
Ambition means well. To have the
abition to succeed means to have the
will to succeed. Where there is a wiil
there is a way; conversely, where
then is ambition there is a way also.
Ambitions are always optimistic, they
are what, makes the future seem rose
tinted and give hope to the faint
heart. Without ambition there is no in-lere.-t
in anything and existence then
must seem like a dreary monotone.
Ambition always kindles a desire for
advancement and keeps away that
self-contentment that kills a desire for
bitter things. It gives backbone, in
spires enthusiasm and breeds determ
ination. It is the spark of progress that
with proper care will grow into a
flame which will become the all con
suming fire of success. Air castles are
outgrowth of ambition, but. they are ;
llss substantial and are eer chang- j
ing. !
when graduation conies they have
nothing to show for their efforts but week.

resulted in their accomplishing prac

scarcely more than partial success in

arrived some place have done so by

Work that should be done, is neglect
ed with a "I'll do it next week when
I have more ambition."
There will be time for work next
week, but next week primarily is a
time for rest and relaxation. The less
thought that is given to the problems
and tasks of work then, Hie greater
will be the enthusiasm and energy
with which it will be attacked after
the first of the year.
Next week and the week after,
those who don't wipe
right now, will be lamenting the fact
that they didn't do it when they
should. Next week, this week will be
history. The little hardship that the
schoolwork brings now, will only be
a memory next week if it is done nov-
yet if neglected, will be a most irk
some task and spoil the pleasant times
possible during the holiday season.

fight it, for its successful defeat will

Professor Tells Of
. Need of Agricultural Engineer
ing Course in uiuver&itj.
Professor E. K. Brackett of tho agrl
cultural engineering college spoke be
fore tho freshman engineers yesterday
an "Agriculture and tho Engineer."
Trofessor Brackett told how the en- j
gineering field was becoming more ;
specialized and how the agricultural j
branch of engineering was rapidly
growing in importance. Nebraska is;
especially interested in tho agricult-i
i r- 1 .
ural development as Its weuare ue-j
pendu largely upon, the agricultural,
interests. There are 124,000 tarms m ;
vnhmska and these aro tho most im-;
portant part of our wealth and their j
nroilncts form a large part or our in
come. Tho industrial population of the
t....tn iloes not number more than one ,
tenth of the total in comparison with
the large numbers connected with the
farms and allied interests.
The M;st agricultural engineering
.nnrP was civen at Iowa state col
li go by a graduate of the mechanical
.unmooring department of the l ni-
versify of Nebraska, rrom nero
tmiv ha.: sDread to other Universit-,
ies and Nebraska now has as good ;
,n nsri-ieultiiral college as any m the
United States. The agricultural en-j
gineering building at the college oi
agriculture campus is probably tha j
largest and most up to date edifice of j
it's kind in the world.
Some data in regard to the value i
mid importance of the Nebraska farms
rtas given by Professor Brackett. Ac
cording to the latest census there is
over Jlil.l.OOO.OOO worth of farm ma
chinery on Nebraska farms. More
power is used in tho plowing of it's
fields than in all the industries of the
state put together.
The agricultural engineering course
is not presumed to teach everything
that, should be known about the most
scientific farming methods, but it
does give the student the fundamentals
on which proper practice is based and
leaves to them the working out ol tne
minor details-.
There are mauy problems which
shonld be solved in the various agri
cultural lines. The building proposi
tion is one of the most important on
most farms as it is one which is most
often neglected. Tho proper apprecia
tion of rural architecture is needed
as the poor way in which many of our
farm buildings are constructed is de
plorable. Drainage and irrigation are two
problems which confront the engineer
in many parts of the state. Many
times they are closely related but
their inter-relations are often over
looked by the ordinary fanner.
There is connected with the agri
cultural college an extension depart
ment which helps' the farmer in many
ways in the study of these problems.
They send out blue prints on all
the various phases of farm planning
and design of buildings and print
phamplets on many of the problems
of farm management.
Nebraska has taken the lead in the
installation of a tractor testing depart
ment which tests all the makes of
farm tractors before they can be put
on the market. The testing laborator
ies are in charge of a graduate of the
agricultural college and every tractor
is given a rating in accordance with
the tests so made This serves the
farmer in that he knows what to ex
pect when he buys a certain tractor.
To date over 80 tractors have been
tertd and rated by this department.
