THE HIGH SCHOOLS
In this university there are stu
dents who are unable to spoil simple
words correctly and who refrain
from the use of "ain't" and other
proscribed words (if at all) only
with difficulty. For their advance
ment a course, known as English 0,
for which no credit is offered, has
been established. The class is usu
ally fairly large. The rudiments of
grammar, and the spelling of the
simpler words, are drilled into its
members. In English, probably, are
the students who enter the univer
sity most deficient; though no doubt
instructors in other courses are
amazed and grieve I by the same lack
of basic instruction.
The cause of all this, of course,
is in the high schools. Nebraska's
high schools are woefully inefficient,
judging by the class of graduates
they turn out. It is possible, ap
parently, for the a student to go
through these high schools without
learning the distinction between the
use of "don't" and "doesn't", or how
to spell words like "horse" or "terri
ble." The accrediting of these
high
schools, we learn from the Univer
sity catalogue, is in the hands of
the state superintendent. How rigid
the examination is we have no means
of ascertaining, but, frqm our ob
servation, it cannot be exceedingly
strict. The requirements, jn gener
al, establish a minimum of three
teachers, requires that at least half
of them shall have completed four
years of college work, require that
the laboratory and library facilities
be "adeqo -,'' umi net 'out rules

somewhat indefinite and vague; few
schools, indeed, could not comply
with them. There arc approximately
450 accredited schools (practically
all in the state.)
'Now these schools may he accred
ited, they may come up to the stand
ards, but it is obvious that they do
not offer efficient instruction. The
graduates of many of them are en
tirely unqualified to do university
work; some of them, in fact, seem
hardly to possess sufficient educa
tion to be successful in ft first-rate
high school. Their careers in the
university are brief.
The reasons for this condition are
not hard to fin: lack of funds, the
employment of poorly qualified and
indifferent teachers, inadequate fa
cilities, and the tendency of many
small-town educators to avoid trou
ble by passing easily the sons and
daughters of tha town's prominent
citizens.
Whatever the cause, the condition
exists, and it can be cured only by a
radical change in the methods of ac
crediting schools. The present re
quirements might work if they were
strictly enforced, nut a revision oi
the rules to demand a higher stand
ard of education would be more like-
to solve the problem.
THE LECTURE
Dr. Edgar Loc Hewitt, who comes
heralded as a noted archcologist and
anthropologist, is to deliver the an
naul Phi Rota Kappa-Sigma Xi lec-
tture this evening at Temple The
ater. He will tell, we understand, of
some of his discoveries in unearthing
facts concerning the lives of an
cient peoples.
Ordinarily we shun boosting the
meetings or recommending attend
ance at them, but we are assured by
a member of the faculty who should
know that this lecture will be well
worth hearing. The Thi Beta Kap-pa-Sigma
Xi lectures usually are. We
remember in particular a lecture de
livered two or three years ago by
Dr. Alexander Miekeljohn, then the
president of Amherst College. Since
then, unfortunately, he has been
deposed because his views did not
coincide with those of his more con
servative trustees.
Rut we wander from the subject.
'Our purpose, we recall, was to advo
cate atendanee at Dr. Hewitt s lec
ture. So we hereby do recommend
it.
Hranic Gets Special Training

fulcrum for every
modern Archimedes
' fS I VE me a fulcrum and I will move the earth"
VJ said Archimedes. Too bad that he lived
twenty-two hundred j-ears too soon.
For you modern followers of Archimedes, you
men who apply his well knowr. principles in the
study of mechanical enpinecrinfi, the fulcrum is
ready. If a part in helping the earth to move
appeals to you, look for your fulcrum in the
communication art.
A world of possibilities opens tip here for the
man whose bent is mechanical. Distances shrink
because mechanical engineers have found how to
draw well-nigh every bit of air out of a repeater
tube. A million telephones are made and the
millionth is like the first because mechanical inge
nuity has shown the way. Quantity production
in a great telephone plant calls for constant im
provement in mechanical technique.
Every day is a day of new facts, new things,
new achievement! by mechanical and electrical
engineers. Nothing stands still. Here the world
dort move.
