Y. W. C. A." Secretary Tells
Of Eastern Civilization In
Vespers Address
"Modern civilization is causing
tapid changes in Japan today."
yiated Miss Clara McKinuon, Y. W.
I". A. secretary from Japan, at Ves
pers Tuesday evening.
Japan was a hermit nation for
three hundred years during which
time they developed a civilization
of their own. Architecture and eti
quette were highly advanced
stages. Western civilization burst
in on Japan's old feudal system.
She started reorganizing and bor
rowed from Germany her military
system, from Fiance her railroad
system, from Great Britain her gov
ernmental and constitutional sys
tems, and from America, her edu
cational system.
There i.s only one per cent illiter
acy In Japan at the present, time.
Some factors in the educational
system are still incomplete, be
cause young men do not know
whether to take a special or gen
eral course us a preparation to
tln'ir living.
Girls Have Same Problems
The problems of the young
school girls are much the same as
the problems In this country. How
ever, they come from different
backgrounds and their home life is
most difficult. During her early
life a girl has to be loyal to her
father, later loyal to her husband,
and then to her sons. Hers Is a
man's world and she devotes her
life to the care of the men.
This results in her having little
((intact with the outside world, but
at the same time she Is developing
an exquisite character. Some are
entering into free marriages, that
is, choosing one's own husband;
the husband had previously been
picked by her father and she had
always been In submission to her
family, so it is hard for her to
break away from the.se old ties
now.
Japanese do not look forward to
marriage as American girls do;
there is little or no romance in a
Japanese marriage. In free mar
riage the couple chooses a go
betwepn, usually the person who
iiit Kiiluces them. This go-between
gut hers all the Information he can
tind about the two parties.
Recreation Is Lacking
Lack of recreation tends to
wreck more Japanese women's
lives than any other factor. They
inner go to parties with their hus
bands, In fact, It used to be ron

Lack of Topics
Causes Feature
Writers Sorrow
Amid the clatter and click of
typewriters the feature story writ
er gets his assignment. "Write us
a little feature on something," re
quests the managing editor. "Any
thing in particular?" queries t.he
feature writer nonchalantly, but
with inner qualms of fear. He has
been given orders like this before.
"Oh, just anything you know,"
comes back the managing editor,
and the responsibility is trans
ferred from his shoulders to those
of the feature story writer. And
what will he say when he reads a
feature story on "just anything?"
It's worth trying.
In the first place. It Is windy. But
th:it has been commented upon
t:me and again. Perhaps the dirt
does blow off the drill field; every
one knows it. It's getting colder,
and we fully expect It to rain or
snow before morning. But It has
rained before and it has snowed be
fore. Nothing unusual or even in
teresting about that.
Midsemester examinations are
being inflicted. There is a rather
promising possibility. "According
to the report," comments the fresh
man, "I am down In hours." These
reports will be out before long, but
you knew that. Midsemester re
ports come out as regularly as The
Dally Nebraskan, but are much
more disappointing.

According to information ob
tained from Emerson Smith, '29,
Lincoln, late yesterday afternoon,
the University Glee club trip to
Kansas City during Thanksgiving
vacation has been postponed.
Smith, business manager of the

singing and musical entertainments
In Kanas City at that time. It is
thought the club will receive a bet

plans have been made for appear
ance of the organization between

JONES LECTURES ON
B
Cornell Graduate Says Race
Question Untouched in
Last Campaign
"The Negro's Opportunity To
day" was very intelligently dis
cussed in a lecture by Eugene Kln
ckle Jones, soclaj worker, in Social
Science auditorium Inst night.
Jones Is a graduate of Cornell uni
versity and executive secretary of
the National Urban League with
headquarters in New York City.
"During the recent political cam
paign in the United States neither
of the two candidates for presi
dency touched upon race relations
in the rountry," said Jones. Then,
continuing, "Is there a problem of
race relations?" To answer his
question he quoted Grover Cleve
land, who, a number of years ago,
said the most important problem
in the country at that time was
that of race relations.
"The Negro race is the group in
America which plays the most im
portant part in ther ace relations
problem," according to Jones. "Pre
vious to this time, the North has
maintained that the negro must
have his rights. Lately, however,
the southern Idea of negro suppres
sion has become prevalent,'' ho
said.
African Solution Unworthy
"Africa is certainly not the place
for the negro problem to be worked
out," said Jones as he described
the negro conditions there.
Jones pointed out the facta that
the negro race Is a healthy race
and an industrial race. He said that
the negro is not inferior simply be
cause of his color and that environ
ment determines the mental fac
tors of a people.
In Jones' opinion, many negroes
have inferiority complexes because
of what they have lo go through.
He thinks further progress of the
race is based upon the capacity of
individuals.
Negro6 Problem Slowly Solved
"America is being regarded by
the rest of the world today as a
great experimental country," said
Jones. "Are we equal to the respon
sibility placed upon us?" he asked.
Then he said he thought the race
relations problem would gradually
be worked out by an exchange of
professorships between northern
and southern universities, by the
coming together of black and white
people, and by the black and white
youth of today.
Jones had spoken on race prob
lems at the annual state confer
enre for social work. In Omaha
Tuesday.
In Morrill hall some curved, zig
zagging weapons, which from a
standpoint of construction are
beautiful, but from the standpoint
of usage well, not so hot. Of
course when the Filipino wanted
to call on his girl friend, he want
ed to look his best, so he carried
a sword such as are shown here,
either a wooden one ti.iODiae'y
carved, one made from wrought
silver or one with a bone-carved
hilt.
Perhaps, when he made his
3cabbard he killed a calf or some
animal with a skin and while the
skin was yet gory, stretched it
over the scabbard, which in every
case was made from two pieces of
wood held together by a munilu
rope rather than belDg carved
from a single piece of wood, and
iet it dry in a w rinaled effect, and
then well, watch his girl friend's
eyes!
There are also two coats of mail
made of chain mail in combination
with plate mail and two brass hel
mets shaped like those the Ko
n.ans used to wearthe picture
(.4X1 turned on Iac t.
