A SERMON ON "GETTING BY."
"The Betrayal of Youth" is the
subject of an editorial tint appeared
in the Fremont Tribune recently, in
which the writer scathingly de
nounced University students who
"sluff" and the ones who "get by
with murder."
University students of today are
the subject of much criticism, both
favorable and unfavorable. A ma
jority of students are a smug, self
satisfied lot, content to follow tt,
path of least resistance and struggle
in the rut of "getting by."
The writer of this editorial is not
a college man, which perhaps gives
him a better perspective. His edi
torial is fair, and a number of Uni
versity of Nebraska students could
ponder on it and study it, for it
states many truths. Too many do
not see themselves as others see
them, and for these we reprint this
editorial:
THE BETRAYAL OF YOUTH.
Two young university students
were conversing in a local drug store.
One of them, the son of a man who
we happened to know is sending his
boy to college at considerable sac
rifice to himself, remarked to his
friend :
"Boy, I'm sure getting by with
murder down there at school. Having
a good time, not much study and com
ing in under the wire in most of my
studies."
We were tempted to ask the boy
just what his idea of "getting by"
really is. But he was a good sized
lad, so we refrained. We just listened
i while longer to the conversation,
and drew our own conclusions.
It seemed that if he was successful
in getting a certain number of hours
to his credit in each term of school
he was perfectly satisfied as far as
his studies were concerned. Profi
ciency in the various studies didn't
seem to matter. The main ide was
to "get by," whatever that means.
J3ut we wondered what his Dad
thought about it, the Dad who hadn't
had the advantage of higher educa
tion in his youth nd who had worked
hard all his life to create a good
home for his wife and children and
wh- - rtill working at day labor,
though his head is now grey and his
shoulders bent,, that his boy might
not know the hard knocks of life
that had been his lot.
And we wondered wht his mother
thought about it, the mother who has
spent her life making every penny
do the work of many, who has been
forced by circumstances to deny her
eh .wttty clothes and numerous lit
tle . jnveniences of home fife, who
has ftood ftaunchly at her husband's
side while they both struggled to
make end meet, who has found her
great joy in making the personal sac
rifices that gave to her children the
means to happiness.
We wonder if the boy ever gives
a thought to how his Dad and hit
Mother are managing to "get by"
when on every pay day they check up
the college bills with the pay envel
ope ind orrowfully note the dimin
ished dimensions of the balance. We
wonder if he ever flops to think that
his parents who are no longer young
will have increasing difficulty in "get
ting by" as old age and incapacity to
work come upon them.
Wouldn't you think that a boy who
is being given a college education
through love's unselfish sacrifice
would glean the fields of knowledge
to his utmost ability instead of just
trying to "get by?" Some boys do,
some don't. We sometimes are in
clined to wonder if parents are jus
tified in keeping everlastingly at the
grind, denying themselves the com
forts for which they have longed,
for he benefit of an unapprecutrre
chSd.
Every boy of college age knows
just wVst shape his parents are in
financially, he can't help hut realize
the sacrifices that are being made at
home that he may stay in school. If
there is a spark of intelligence in
him, he will know the reason his par
ents are willing to make this sacrifice
for him is that they want him to fit
himself, through education, to make
a successful man of himself.
And we are convinced that if a
boy, knowing all this, yet goes to
college with the sole interest and pur
pose of "getting by," he is not fit
altar for the sacrificial offerings of
his father and mother. Sacrifice for
children is not made in vain. But the
wonder is that parental love can still
endure wh?n the devotions of moth
erhood and fatherhood are cast upon
the ebbing sands of waste and ex
travagance by a prodigal.
Not having ever gone to college,
and probably because of that fact, we
cannot understand the frame of mind
of a boy or girl who can devote to
ill use a dollar that represents the
daily sweat of a parent who is grow
ing old. We should think that such
a dollar so spent would sear the
heart and soul of the most reckless
youth. We should think that every
letter from home, bearing money
that represents things denied to those
at home, would be a sacred thing to ,
the boy or girl st school.
The money that parents spend to
educate their children is an invest
ment in manhood and womanhood. It
is a sad commentary on our youth
that too many of these investments
lack even the gilded paper that comes
with fradulent oil wells and gold
mines, and must be laid away in the
old trunk in the attic with all the
other bitter fruits of experience.
A college education is the gateway
to success in life, in business, in art
and in science. In the majority of
cases the gate is held wide open that
youth nvay enter, by hands supported
by toil and sacrifice. The boy or girl
who does not appreciate and make
the most of this fact is the betrayer
of our educational system, of his own
parents and, above all, himself.

The ivy
won't save
any of us
THE ivy of tradition is a slender sup
port. A man or a team or a college
that clings to it, harking back to the
glories of yesterday, is likely to be out
stripped by some young but sturdy rival.
That is a sermon we have taken home
to ourselves. .
The Western Electric Company is proud
of its fifty-four years of history. But it is
a great deal more concerned with the nevt
fifty-four and that is why we have been
talking to the college men of America
month after month now for four years.
The future of this business depends not
o much on the physical equipment we
have built up as on the mental equip
ment which men of your generation are
building on your habits of study and
conduct, on your right choice of a pro
fession and your proficiency in it. So we
have made suggestions for your guidance,
with the conviction that they can help you
and us.
This company, with its laboratories, its
distributing organization and its great tele
phone factory in every respect a modern
industry and in many respects a leadei
will have openings fiom time to time for
men who can qualify.
