TOMORROW NIGHT
The child labor amendment will be
discussed tomorrow evening by a
gToup of Nebraska and South Dakota
students who have spent several
weeks studying its many phases and
preparing themselves to discuss it in
telligently. Although the proposal
to amend the constitution to enable
congress to regulate child labor did
not meet with the nation's approval
last year, the question is still very
much alive, and of considerable im
mediate importance.
There is more reason to believe
that University students will be call
ed upon as citizens to settle this
problem within the next few years
than they will be required to shoulder
a musket for their country's sake;
and there is some reason to believe
that the settlement of such questions
as this is fully as important as the
outcome of the war. The health and
pursuits of practical things. It is
teaching its students the technique
of making a living and forgetting the
cultural side almost entirely. Before
entering upon work that is purely
technical, the student need have only
a smattering of the cultural subjects
English, languages, history, etc.
Though he may be trained thorough
ly in his chosen field, he cannot be
called an educated man.
This practical education, moreover,
lacks that actual training by con
tract with life that Thoreau desired.
He would have a university where
the students worked to support them
selves by manual labor, where they
built the buildings and saw to their
maintenance. The present training,
in engineering methods, bookkeeping,
and other similar subjects, often lacks
that reality that might compensate
for the loss of cultural instruction.
The tendency toward more practi
cal education is not to be condemned.
if it will better fit the student for
his struggle in life. But if j is e
pseudo-practical training that will bf
of little value later, and given at the
expense of education that is of genu
ine cultural value, the student is
wasting his time in pursuing it. Much
of our so-called practical training
today is of slight value, and the stu
dent should discriminate carefully
before he enters upon it.
THE FAIR QUIZ
Did you ever stop after class and
complain that a quiz was not quite
fair? If you have, the following bit
of dialogue, printed in the Chicago
Daily Maroon may interest you:
Young Man I don't think your
quiz yesterday was quite fair, sir.
, Professor Why not, Mr.
(prompted) Mr. Boggs.
Y. M. Because it didn't teft what
a man know about the subject. One
fellow could pass it with very little
real knowledge another fellow with
real ideas might have missed half the
questions.
Prof. I'm afraid I don't under
stand you. I tried to make the test
very easy. Don't you think that any
body who has read the text could pass
it? Take Question 1: "To what four
causes does Watson attribute the
War of 1812?" Could any intelli-
miss that?
Y. M. That's just the trouble, it
seems to me. What about the man
who hasn't read the text?
Prof. Well, I'm sorry for him.
That's about all I can say. I consid
er it a very easy test.
Y. M. But can't a man know the
causes of the War of 1812 pretty
well, and do a great deal of reading
about it, and even have his own ideas
of his own without memorizing
Watson's four causes.
Prof. All right, Mr. Boggs, I shall
give you another chance; I shall give
you a test even easier than this. But
but I considered it remarkably
easy.

the adoption of a wrong policy in
dealing with child labor would be fa
tal to both the lives of these indi
viduals and the nation. It is the pa
triotic and moral duty of every Uni
versity student to prepare himself tc
help settle such problems.
Unfortunately, questions of this
kind often serve as political footballs,
the real issues get lost in a maze of
blah, and the actual facts are for
gotten. The young men who will
discuss child labor tomorrow even
ing will have nothing to gain by mis
representing facts or resorting to
false logic. They will present the
arguments for each side in the best
manner which weeks of preparation
have made possible. If the debate it
self does not bring forth sufficient in
formation and reasoning, the open
forum discussion which is to follow
will afford every interested person
an ample opportunity to learn the
merits of each side.
In return for the hundreds of hours
work in preparation wl'h thtf parti

WE SECOND
THE MOTION!
The following sensible com
ment concerning professional
football, coming from one of
the greatest of Cornhusker grid
iron stars, should interest Daily
Nebraskan readers. For this
contribution, we are indebted to
"The Sportolog" edited by Fred
erick Ware, which appears in
The Omaha World-Herald:
After two seasons of participa
tion in professional football as a
member of one of the leading elev
ens, Dave Noble, well remembered
in these parts as the Cornhuskr who
made the 1923 Notre Dame wonder
team wonder, says the college game
never will be forced to regard the
salaried amusement as a competitor
"The two games are enticr.y dif
ferent," says Dave, "and are played
for almost entirely different pur
poses."
"The collegians go onto the field
to fight for the glory of their schools
and that intangible urge produces a
fury and ardor that all the money
in the world cannot equal.
"Then, too, the crowd at the col
lege game it is imbued with that
same spirit, A college game is the
personal business, not only of every
player and the coaches, but also of
almost every one of the thousands
who swarm the stands.
"On the other hand, professional
football can only bring before that
portion of the public which doesnt
see colleee contests, some of the
star players which that public wish'
es to look upon. It's largely an ex
ploitation of individuals as Red
Grange's case demonstrated.
Dave Noble says that professional
football has no desire to became the
competitor of the college game, or
to lessen in any way its tremendous
popularity.
Some think it was sentiment and
?woet consideration for the other
fellow and the much discussed but
seldom practiced principle of abso
lutely square dealing that Icaused
the bosses of the newly organized
American football league to pass a
rule forbidding the signing of high
school and college players before
their graduation.
It was nothing of the kind. It was
only good business.
The promoters of professional
football, realizing that the success
of their project is based upon their
ability to sign boys who become
widely famous as stars in colleges,
do not want to do anything that
will tend to dim the brilliancy of
those stars. The larger per cent of
the great college players attain their
greatest fame during their senior
year. A football player without a
reputation is worthless to a pro boss.
He has no way of building reputa
tions. If college and high school football,
college football especially, were abol
ished, professional football would im
mediately topple.
Ten Years Ago
New Rifle Shot Record.
A new world's record of 300 con
secutive bulls eyes was made recently
by L. Samuel Moore captain of the
Newton high school rifle team of
Newton, Massachusetts.
THE PRACTICAL AGE
Twenty or thirty years ago, when
students wore whiskers, the aim of
every student in college, was a "clas
sical education." Greek and Latin
were studies in which all students
were expected to be interested; prizes
for essays and proficiency in oratory
were numerous and of great import
ance; athletics was on a rather casual
basis and debating societies flourish
ed. The students, if we are correct
ly informed, read Tennyson and Rob
ert Ingersoll and took great interest
in Bryan's activitites. Some few re
lics of this age are left in the houses
of fraternities that existed at that
time. In the library are massive and
dusty volumes of the Idylls of the
King, of Ingersoll's lectures, of the
correspondence of Henry Ward
Beecher, of the Illiad and Odyssey.
That age is now past This is t
practical, go-getter era and the stu
dents are likewise practical. They
are now taking courses to train them
selves for particular professions, with
little regard for the classics. Spanish
(because we may develop more trade
with South America) has supplanted
Latin and Greek. Prizes for es
says and oratory are almost unknown
today the prizes are to be found in
the pursuits of college Tionors."
The newspapers have largely taken
the places of the thinkers of the past
for reading, and interest In politics
and social problems has turned to an
interest in commerce. Elinor Glyn
and E. Phillips Oppenheim have as
sumed the places of Tennyson and
Curiyle.
Such a revolution is h? no means
to be condemned. The students of
the past, no doubt, indulged too much
in theory and too little in practice.

ing his degree because of his dislike

A dignified business
Any retail business that has grown to a volume
of more than $100,000,000 a year must be
founded upon sound business principles.
Kresge's is a dignified business. It meets the
everyday human needs of folks everywhere.
The S. S. Kresge Company has developed the
art of retail store-keeping to the point where
it may well be termed a science. Merchandise
of standard grade is sold in Kresge stores but
in such quantities that prices are consistently
lower than in stores that lack the organization
and resources of a great national institution.
There are already more than three hundred
stores in the Kresge chain and new ones are
being added constandy. For these new stores
we shall need managers competent men,
thoroughly experienced and Kresge-trained.
A limited number of young men college men
of good character and promise will be given
the opportunity to train for these positions.
Write at once and arrangements will be made
for you to meet a rr an from your own college
who is now a Kresge representative. He will
give you complete information.
