themselves do not know the facts. A little questioning
before acting would save endless trouble and misery
on both sides. The person who will not exert a little
mental energy to discover that he ia not the only one
in the right is one of the worst nuisances known to
society.
Criticism is constructive when it is just. But the
man who criticizes without justification of fact is worse
than the original offender. He is even worse than the
man who takes things without question, because the
latter ia harmless. The former is lazy, because he will
not try to justify his position by facts. He is narrow
minded, because it does not occur to him that the other
fellow might be right. And he is a trouble-maker, be
cause of the grief and harsh treatment he initiates.
A nice fellow to have around!

The Cynic Says:
A recent questionnaire circulated among the sen
iors at the College of the City of New York revealed
the fact that thirty-eight have never kissed a girl and
fifty-nine do not neck. Of the fifty-nine, forty-eight
have never had tho opportunity.
And yet in a few weeks these students will be
supposed to have acquired a college education.

THE PRIMARY FUNCTION
Alfred North Whitehead writing on "Universities
diversities is one marked
feature of the social life in the present age. All coun
triesTav e shared in this movement, but more especially
America which thereby occupies a position of honor,
fu however Possible to be overwhelmed even by the
g fts of good fortune; and this growth of the umver
fiies in number of institutions, in size, and in internal
ompiexity of organization, discloses some danger of
destroying" the very sources of their usefulness in the
absence of a widespread understanding of the primary
?unXns which universities should perform in the
service of a nation. . . .
We agree that the rapid expansion of universities
and the increase in enrollment has introduced many
perplexing problems in university administration But
we doubt whether the growth of any school will en
danger the primary functions which the mst.tut.on
should perform. .... v
It depends upon the point of view that is being
taken toward education. The University of Nebraska
in its infancy stated its function in the following words.
"With wise forecast it aims to ncure to all the
members of the Commonwealth, who may avail them
selves of its generous provisions, an opportunity for
the liberal culture in literature, science and the arts,
and in such technical courses as shall from time to
time be established."
Along with other universities, our school may
soon have to readjust itself to the new conditions which
are rapidly arising. But as for growth, we feel that
any increase within the limits of proper supervision
is only consistent with the policy set forth by the
University.

OUR LITTLE TROUBLE-MAKER
A writer complains in the subscribers' department
of an Omaha paper against inaccuracy practiced by a
well-known columnist. The object of his complaint is
that the columnist, in discussing religion, said that be
cause natives of India had to bite bullets dipped in
pig fat against religious principles the Sepoy mutiny
started. The subscriber maintains that it was cow fat
that was objectionable to the Indians, and he bewails
the fact that the columnist cannot be accurate.
As a matter of fact, both the columnist and the
subscriber are right. And 'English history shows that
they are both wrong. To the Mohammadan the pig is
even below contempt and to even touchone of the
animals is ruin. To the Hindu the cow is sacred and it
was sacrilege to bite cartridges dipped in cow fat. In
addition, there were several other causes for the Sepoy
mutiny.
Shallowness of thought is common. Just as the
writer failed to justify his position by finding the real
facts of the situation, so do many people jump to con
clusions or criticism without sufficient knowledge to
sanction their stands. They can only see their part of
the argument, and thinking they are right beyond
question, hasten to be critical of others when they

bia raised the general scale of its professois "and in
structors. The new scale sets the minimum salary for
instructors at $2,400 and the minimum for professors
at $7,500. President Nicholas Murray Butler expressed
the hope that other schools would follow the example
of America's largest university. The Cornell Daily Sun
in commenting on the low salaries paid in the teaching
profession said, "The criticism is made justly, we
think, that if of the money available, less were applied
to the construction of new buildings, and more to sal
aries of employes, universities would serve the nation
better. But we cannot justly criticize them for not
paying to their instructors and professors money tht.t
they do not have."

"CULTIVATED PEOPLE"
"Ain't no good" you will readily recognize, is the
well known double negative, supposed, in popular be
lief, to make an affirmative. Some of our amateur au
thorities on speech will tell you that two such negatives
nullify each other and virtually make an affirmative.
For this reason the picturesque phrase, "Ain't no
good" is to be studiously avoided. As a matter of fact,
however, expert philologists assure us that "Ain't no
good" does not signify an affirmative. The double neg
ative merely signifies accented negation. In Chaucer
for instance, we find three and four negatives in the
same sentence. "He never yet no vileinye ne sayde unto
no manner wight." What then is the matter with "Ain't
no good"? Why are we forbidden to use it?
The secret is this: it isn't being used by "cultivated
people"! This explanation of the phenomenon, at first,
has a soft, almost soothing and reassuring, tone about
it. There is nothing radically wrong with the phrase,
there is nothing to insult logic, or reason, it is only
that "cultivated people" do not use it. When reason
and logic backed by history fail to explain an existing
peculiarity in language the philologist falls back on
this at first quiet and unassuming "used by cultivated
people." There seems to be no coercion in it, nothing
bvt a harmless statement of fact.
But what could be more insiduouslly deadly in
any sort of a phililogical argument than a verdict of
"cultivated people"? Who is so bold, or so demented
as flagrantly to class himself as a boor? Who is there
so thick-skinned and impervious to the esteem of others
that he will not squirm when accused of being "un
cultured" and vulgar? America has no recognized her
aldry save cultivation, and little cultivation except in
speech and manners.
The philologists have hit upon a comfortable, but
inexorable doctrine from which there can be no appeal
and no escape for sensitive people. If you are careless
in speech, if you have reasons of your own for believ
ing your speech needs no altering, if you have so far
bravely made your way in the world in spite of "Ain't
no good," they will still bring you around with a jerk
when they say soothingly but firmly, "Oh, but you
never hear that from 'cultivated people"." Right or
wrong( reasonable or not, we are conquered by culti
vated people. The Minnesota Daily.

tended this meeting at the Univer
sity of Michigan, and were privileged
to inspect the new field house re
cently built for women and the In
tramural athletic building for men
which is under construction.
Modern Field House
The field house for women was
built with funds given tliem by the
athletic deaprtment from the football
surplus. The ground floor of the
building contains four bowling alleys,
nine indoor golf nets, a rifle marks
manshiD alley, a play room, all in
addition to locker and shower rooms.
The second floor is devoted to of
fices for the Woman's Athletic as
sociation, meeting rooms and a large
drawing room for social activities of
the organization. The building faces
a new athletic field for women which
will have space for hockey, baseball,
track, volleyball and golf.
Coach Yost conducted the dele
gates through the new intramural
buildinir for men which when com
pleted will contain rooms equipped
for every known sport in which col
lege men are interested. The building
is to be used only by men who are
not interested in intercollegiate ath
letics.
Report Are Interesting
Several interesting reports were
Driven during the meeting on intra
mural organizations in the various
schools. Miss Lee spoke on "The
Need for Research Work by Teach
ers of Physical Education" and in
the discussion which followed her
talk the society decided to sponsor
a piece of research work to be done
during the next year by some grad
uate student.
The present tendency toward in
cluding chemistry in the four year
course of the physical education ma
jor was stressed in the address made
by Jay B. Nash, associate professor
of physical education, New York
University.
The Nebraska delegation next
went to Detroit where they attended
the meetings of the Mid-West so
ciety of Physical Education. At this
meeting there were over one thous
and men and women who are work
ing in all phases of physical educa
tion including industrial, Y. M. C. A.,
high school, and university work.

The work of a eeneral secretarv in
this country includes manv nhnses

general secretary is i job within

"In the department of industrial
work, the Y. W. C. A. needs young
women who have a keen enough in
