Strong Relates Discoveries in Indian
Lands Which Validate Old Civilization
Dr. W. D. Strong, professor of
anthropology at Nebraska, reports
having an interesting tour along
the banks of the Republican river
and through the western part of
the state. Visits were made at dif
ferent museums in the state for
the purpose of obtaining sugges
tions and information. The mu
seum at Hastings especially proved
complete and helpful, according to
Dr. Strong.
A number of discoveries were
mnrtp f rom the examination of the
Republican banks. Many evidences
were found pointing to tne xaci
that thia territory' was occupied by
Indiana at aa early date who were
engaged in agriculture. Most of
this evidence waa in the shape of
old house pits in tbe low hills back
from the river and in tbe high hills
bevond the villare Many sites
were located Hong the river show
ing that the Indians farmed owy
the more fertile soil along the
river.
Used Same Fields.
To all Intent, these Indians
planted the same fields In corn
that farmers are planting in corn
at tbe present day. This accouns
for the number of flint agricul
ttral tools that are being plowed
up by fanners at the present time.

IDEALS AT VESPERS
Wendell Groth Describes
Religious Activities
Regarding Life.
'Student movements supply the

and apply them to life," stated
Wendell Groth, chairman of the
National Council of Student as
sociations. In his talk at Vespers
Tuesday evening.
'All religious activity Is grouped
around the love of God and the
love of neighbors. Students are
here in college to learn how to live
life most abundantly and the value
of life is not lu what you believe,
but in what you do. Student move
ments, such as the Y. M. C A. and
Y. W. C A. are the place to test
life's values.
"They supply the need of some
place to work out Ideals and ap
ply them, and there are many more
places to apply these Ideals, In
dustrial groups and missionary
work offer the chance to put these
actively into practice. In the stu
dent movements there are not
hindrances to developing mich
Ideas."
