Hayes, assistant sec retary of the Department of Agri culture, gave a very interesting ad dress at convocation. His lecture, which was on the subject of "The Study of Agriculture," traced the development of the study in the past fifty years. The freshman and sophomore class committees for the athletic car- Rome was not built in day; neither was it built entirely of great stones. The slow accumulation of countless accessory materials played an equally important part. And so will it ever be. Tickets for the junior prom at McGill university were sold out week before the affair.

"What is held up as inherent law lessness and the breakdown of the moral fiber of our people is but an outcropping of this independent spir it of the pioneer. "Take the pioneer's spirit if ver satility. One can no longer be as versatile in the indutsrial cities today. The pioneer had little Esther White, who also attended the conference, spoke on the "Duty of Youth in Overcoming the Prob lems of the Church." The services were led by Esther Carrot, Cert rude Mumford played a violin solo. "One of the big issues coming be fore the convention was the question of denominatinnalism. Two hun dred denominations can be counted today in the Protestant church," stated Mr. Marti. Each church wants the best building, the loudest pipe organ, and the most people. The result is that more importance is placed on the material rather than ofthe spiritual side of religion.

"In the field of medicine, some of the influence of the pioneer has been thrown off. The spontaneous doc tor, the volunteer soldier are disap pearing. Purinp the war it was realized that the volunteer soldiery was unsatisfactory. But the field of law has not yet recopnized it. With the present rumblinps against injus tice in the bip. cities, law way follow medicine and demand more than r minimum of training. "We realize that there is some thing neeessary today that the pio neer spirit didn't understand. We may not a steady groping for the at tainment of that objective. 'Our whole politic presupposes the pioneer condition in which it grew up. It presupposes a people m close touch with public men and affairs, e people capable of rising to any exin ency. But the condition our politic presupposes is lacking in our citites today. "What was the motive that gave the farmer his vital interest in poli tics? It was his recreation. Where the present city dweller has one thousand Distractions to one for the old pioneer. When politics has be come intricate and involved, we can-1 not expect the modem citizen to take I a lively and vital interest in politics. Concerning the administration of justice, Dean Tound said in part, 1 "The root of the trouble is in pio- j neer institutions trying to meet the complex needs of metropolitan life of today. The methods of adminis tration sprang from the pioneers of one hundred years ago. Their forms are unsatisfactory today. .'The frist act of every pioneer community was the foundation of a system of public schools. Great things are due to the pioneer educa tion. But they were as reckless here as elsewhere. Their reckless ness is forcing us to rebuild where they erred, and the rebuilding is of-, ten painful. There had been too i much crowding of the humanities from the schools at a time when the world is crying for such culture Too much attention has been paid to "bread and butter" subjects. "More and more we must learn ad ministration of this country along every line and more particularly in law and government. We must guide men in times and places where a course of action cannot be weigh ed. Already we have begun such work in traffic signals and similar activities. 'To administration, the pioneer had always been adverse. He want- aH nnl the minimum of control, or receiving of orders. Now we must learn to administer. Poor legisla tion is one of the greatest handicaps to effective administration. Ana poor legislation is the outbreak of the pioneer spirit trying in its rest less virility to solve our problems. "But after all I believe, that these qualities of the pioneer hold a greut deal for us. It is not impossible that this restlessness of the pioneer may keep us alive in a mechanical age. We seem to be entering an era of business and industrial pioneer ing. The better qualities of the pio, neer coming out may make it pos sible to solve the problem facing us. In closing his address Dean Pound Haid, "The pioneer had no aogmus, no precepts. He lenew it was the spirit which gave life while absolute precepts and dogmas stifle ana khj.

The second question arising was the question of war and how it can be eradicated. The convention de cided that war should be outlawed, and adopted a resolution stating their beliefs. The race question was discussed very fully by the conven tion. "Any church that makes a race discrimination is not Christianlike. Christians should think more of hu manity and less of heaven, one of the speakers advised. In regard to mis sions one of the foreign students at the conference asserted that Ameri ca exploits countries to which she sends missionaries," reported Mr. Marti. "It was suggested that stu dents take their graduate work in the country in which they are going to work in order to overcome the feel ing of antagonism. "The church is after all with all of its failures and defects the best ag ency for working with humanity and it is the dut of the young people of today to get into the church and work with it," concluded Mr. Marti. "The church is facing a failure," stated Miss Esther White, "just as it The question of how the name of "Rag" came to be applied to the Daily Nebraskan was revealed.
