TEACHERS COLLEGE
IS REORGANIXED CONTINUES TO GROW
After Twelve Years Has Finally Been
Given the Right to Grant Own
Degrees
After twelve years, during which
time Teachers' college has been prac
tically nothing more than a depart
ment of education, it has been finally
recognized as an individual college of
the university and has been given the
right to grant certain dgrees, register
Its own students, and so forth as do
the other colleges of the university.
Teachers' college was created by
an act of the board of regents in 190S
but was not legally adopted by the
state legislature until 1909. From
1909 until 1921, while a college in
name, it was in reality only a depart
ment of education because it did not
grant degrees and had not the right
to register students except as they
were registered in other colleges.
In 1921 the board of regents made
the Teachers' college a separate col
lege and placed it on the same basia
as other colleges of the university.
By this action, the Teachers' college
was given the right to grant the de
gree of bachelor of science in educa
tion and recently the degree granting
privilege has been increased by giv
ing it the right to grant the degree
of bachelor of arts in education.
The Teachers' college now registers
its own students and exercises the
same control over them that is exer
cised by other colleges on the campus.

Nebraska State Teacher's Association
Starts Campaign for
Membership
A drive lor the enrollment of men
and women in the Teachers' college
is being made by the Nebraska State
Teachers' Association. ISeveral o;
the classes have already gone 100 pur
cent for the organization.
The Nebraska State Teachers1 Asso
ciation is a professional organization

organized in 1S67 and is now in its
fifty-fifth year. It is designed to pro
mote the general educational inter
ests of the state and to be of service
to members.
Some of the specific aims and serv
ices it renders to the teachers are,
advancement of educational interests
of Nebraska, educational publicity,
adequately qualified teachers for
schools, adequate salaries, for teach
ers, and a teachers' placing bureau.
The organization regularly pub
lishes a magazine tor the members.
It has lately been reorganized in'o
smaller districts and has two big
meetings t-aen year the district
meeting and the state convention.

Late Registrants Swell Total of the
Summer School Students to
2,066.
Late registrants for the first ses
sion of the summer school have swell
ed the total attendance for the early
hot weather session to 2,066, accord
ing to figures given out by the reg
istrar's office Monday afternoon. This
is a total of nearly a thousand more
than attended the first session last
year and five hundred more than at
tended both sessions of the 1921 sum
mer school.
Increase in the enrollment of sum
mer school students is due to the
general tendency in all schools for a
larger attendance. Students who were
deprived of the privilege of univer
sities during war years have been
able to return and have swelled reg
istration figures all over the country
to phenomenal heights.
A much more thorough course cf
study is offered in the summer school
this year than has ever been offered
before. Almost every course given in
the winter school is offered this sum
mer and a few courses are bein;
given now that are not offered in the
regular courses.
More regular students of the uni
versity are attending the summer
school this year than has generally
fceen the case in the past. This, to
gether with the fact that an unusual
number of teachers are taking ad
vantage of the summer sessions, com
prises the general trend of the sum
mer enrollment. To all indications,
more men regular school attendants
are attending the summer school than
women.
MISS HARTLEY BACK
FRON FLOOD SERVICE
University Graduate, Relief Worker
in IMnois To Do Red Cross
Duty at Aurora
Miss Olive Hartley, of Lincoln and
member of the 1921 graduating class
of the University of Nebraska, daugh
ter of Mrs. Esther Hartley of China,
has returned from Beardstown, 111., to
accept the position of home service
seen, tary of the Red Cress chapter at
Aurora, Neb. Miss Hartley was en
gaged in flood relief work at Beards
town and brings back a vivid story
of the disaster there. The Red Cross
did great service there, she says, in
furnishing seed for farmers to plant
their crops, and providing food for
stock on farms stricken by the flood
and investigating cases of distress
arising among the resident families.
"The Beardstown flood began Easter
Sunday." Miss Hartley said, "when
the Illinois river rose to the highest
level in its history and flooded thous
ands of acres of its valley in central
and southern Illinois. Beardstown it
self, a town of 8,000 was submerged
to a level of from one to five leet of
water above the floors or hundreds of
houses and business blocks. The water
damaged foundations, where it was
net high enough to do damage to the
interiors. Farm after farm had 7 to
14 feet of water over them, ruining
crops and feed and tearing farm build
ing to pieces."
