One of the meet redeeming things about tb
Prairie Schooner is that the magazine hasn't spon
sored a coed popularity contest as yet.
Now, there w-as this bad precedence, this repu
tation for doing things only when tbe pressure was
applied, and this Jocular conception on the part of
fraternities of their participation in council affairs
and, tba conduct of tbe council this semester has
those very same symptoms. If tbe reorganization
more bad more behind 1' than tbe creation of execti
five offices to be filled by students, then the ob
server bas not been able to detect those intentions.
Certainly tbe reborn council bas not needed a con
stitution to enable tbe organization to begin acting
as a constructive body rather than a barrier to aome.
moves that would be detrimental to tbe fraternity
life on tbe campus? Certainly there are problems
of fraternity concern that are universal on th
campus, and that are still unsolved?
Tbe Nebraskan position baa been that of calling
attention to lagging organizations, and endeavoring
to point in tbe direction of change that can bt
made. Tbe lnterfraternity council, throughout the
'year, baa been panned to tbe extent of making tbe
editorial column humdrum. But some things are so
perfectly obvious in the parade of campus affairs
that criticism cannot be withheld.

EDUCATING FOR LIFE
"There is only one subject matter for educa
tion, and that ia Ufa in all ita manifestations. In
stead of thla elngle unity, we offer children lgebra,
from which nothing follows; geometry, trom which
nothing follows; science, from which nothing fol
lows; history, from which nothing follows; a couple
of language, never mastered."
So naaerta A. N. Whitehead, British philosopher,
is bi "Alma of Education," juat published. In this
aingl statement be indicts the entire aystera of
American education as falling to represent life as
it ia iia to those who live it la a measure, at
least, Mr. Whitehead baa written tbe truth.
There ia woeful failure to connect tbe aubjects
an4 ouraea offered especially in high schools aad
college throughout tbe nation. There is a branched
and diijoleted apreading of courses over every field
f learning. Moat every atudent picks over a se
mester of aoology. botany or phyaica, thumb a text
book of Latin or Epanieb for a year, gains a amat
tarSej knowledge ax American and European history.

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW
THE URGE TO LEARN
Tbe fundamental purpose of attending college,
as Tbe Lincoln Journal point out, i to obtain an
education. That many a boy who attends the Uni
versity of Nebraska la doing that very thing waa
indicated a few daya ago at convocation when cer
tain awards and honor, not obtained before hurrah
ing crowda on a football field, were given to atu
dent s who bad done well with their studiea.
Now and then we forget that education ia tb
prime reason for sending boye and girls away to
school. Athletic prowess, tbe discussion of sports
and tbe glamour of tbe social life frequently obscure
our vision, make na cynical and inspire ua to tbe
belief that tbe old time mental atimulua at school
haa been relegated to tbe back of tba bouse. But it
is not altogether true. A large number of students
actually are so old-fashioned that tbey go to school
to study, to invest tbeir moat ajsapressionable year
ia tbe laudable ambition of learning a little about
ibeee (hints which will provide them with tbe weap
ons for making a living a little later on.
