TREAT 'EM WHITE
The highest compliment any man
could ever receive was paid to War
don Billie" Fentcn of the Nebraska
state penitentiary when Fred Brown,
Omaha bandit who had led police of
ficers a merry chase for nearly a
month, said that Nebraska's prison
custodian would not have been
Jiarmed had the bandit and jailer
come face to face. "For", sari
Drown, "he treated me white when
1 was in the penitentiary and I would
not have shot him".
To have that said about one by a
man hunted by hundreds , of other
men is certainly a compliment and a
high one. Brown was fighting for
his life and it was merely a matter
of good fortune that he did not seri
ously mangle or kill a number of the
hunting party. He was caught un
awares. But at any time had War
den Fenton approached. Brown would
not have fought. He regarded Foli
um too highly lor Fenton "treated
him square".
There is a lesson in ihat statement
of Brown's by which every man ma
profit. Warden -Fenton would prob
ably have saved his life had he met
the bandit just because he had done
what was "white". Few are the men
who can boast of such a record.
There Is probably not a man in the
Nebraska state prison who would not
endorse Brown. And a prison is no
easy matter to go "while". It is not
hard to overlap the line when one is
dealing with hardened criminals such
as inhabit the penitentiary. All
me'n should consider the statement of
Brown and think how much "treat-1
ing the other man white" is really
worth in the end.
HIGH SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS
Completion of each school year
finds more and more high schools at
tempting to publish a school paper
of some kind. AJmost every high
school now has a paper which is pub
lished by the students of the school
at regular intervals. This growth of
interest in publications has called for
instructors who have some knowl
edge of the fundamentals of journal
ism. High school teachers, as a rule,
have little foundation for teaching
journalism. Few, if any have bad
any course in it. Until more experi
enced instructors are secured the
rating cf high school publications will
not be great. Instructors of Journal
ism should seek a more thorough
knowledge of their subject than they
generally possess.
iaiiH Ruth went on his barnstorm
ing career because he thought he
could get away with it. He was su
pended and fined by Judge Landis.
Ho get back in baseball expecting a
wonderful ovation and he got it. But
then he failed to connect with the
ball. His cheers turned to jeers and
Kuth lost his temper. He assaulted
an umpire and started after a fan in
the bleachers. He was suspended
third time for "crabbing".
hen men reach the "hall of
fame" in that way and fall- in as
disgraceful a way as that, the drop is
much worse than Just gradually pass-
ing out A man who cannot hold his
followers is a poor man at best. He
may reach a stage of overwhelming
apparent success but he fails be
cause of the very high momentum of
the thing. Better it were that he
had struck a reasonable level and
kept it than go high above it only
to fall farther below and to get mad
because cne loses out by one's own
actions is worse still. No man,, is
regarded highly who cannot stand a
defeat. There is a lesson In Ruth's
downfall for all.

STUDENT OSTRICHES
Recently a college professor an
nounced to the world that college
students, almost without exception,
swallowed every statement he saw fit
to make concerning . his subject.
There is a lementable lack of ques
tioning attitude, he averred, that is
necessary before a student can tap
the wellsprings of learning.
How often have we noticed the
same thing in the class rooms of In
diana. An instructor or professor
will make a prodigious statement
concerning something touching his
subject, of which his auditors never
heard before. Every one hastily
writes it down in the ever-present
notebook as gospel, although outslue
of class someone would be sure to
ask for more information. We have
seen a learned professor demonstrate
Mr. H. R. Grummann, son of Paul
H. Grummann, director of the school
of fine arts, writes from Wilkins
burg, Ba., concerning his trip of the
"Carnesie". He states that after
spending a few months in the West
Indies making obseratlons from . St.
rin niiis to Barbadoes, he returned to
the U, S. A. and hopes it won't be
necessary for him to leave it again.
Mr. Grummann is at present in the
