Incidentally, to be trlctly enforced. Who. her the council will succeed in its id'nllstic program Is diffi cult to foretell, trial being the rnlv way of testing the matter. The n tion of the council, which has been subjected to considerable amount.1 of criticism during lie put f c V years for alleged Inactiv ity, is being received with favor by fdudents and faculty alike. nut making rules and obeying rules being so far apart, judging from previous experiences with fraternities, makes it seem impos sible for any real untainted rush week to pass. The difficulty lies not with the council but with the fact that so much of the "dirty" work is done undercover and evidence of any such tactics Is hard to get. For example, if the council could put a ban on the number of pledge buttons that are put in the pockets of ru.shees prior to the hectic week, more than half of the problem could be solved. STUDENT PULSE TURN ON THE HEAT. To the editor: How long must the childish buf foonery go on within the student pulse and cew-bain-dog columns of The Nebraskan?. To my notion these popinjay thitterings expiess nothing more than the primary ranting of a group of individuals who feel they must find fault with something, and being of slightly lazy natures they seized the only outstanding things on tha summer campus and attempted to undermine them with verbose chirpings. Not because I have any parti cular interest in the fate of the teachers college for I haven't but merely oecause I believe that it has been the innocent recipient of unjust remarKS, do I spring to its defense. Teachers college is not to be condemned for its methods. Method is the only accurate means by which knowledge can be ac curately instilled into adolescent minds. "Method in the field of in struction is a comparatively new experiment and it cannot be ex pected to show unqualified suc cesses within a part ot a decade. This method must first be carried past the experimental stage and standardized until it comes into universal practice. So I say, simply because the knowledge' fountain of our peda gos appears to be overflowing with a deluge of seemingly non sensical experiments is no reason that it should be subject to such ludicrous comparisons as made )by our friend Mr. Gostelow in last Friday's issue. As for the hilly-holly ing hoot snorts of Mr Deming and Kings X, who admits he is merely play ing a game by the very signature which he tacked on the end of his epistle, T can only say that their opinions were gorgeously bedecked in vtildlv crimson phrases which reeked "banefully of undiluted Pecksniffery. However, by giving the same reproach t both the King and the Dog I do not mean to intimate that they come within the same category. I ask, editor, that you suppress those student pulse comments which are so evidently mere yap pings of pseudo-critics, and en deavor to build the tudnt puU columns Into a seat of conntruc live crltlcUm which ha as Ita pur po tho U-tterment of thing on the rampus, not their destruction. J. H MUD OR CRITICISM? To the Kdilor; The lat 1mmu of The Nebiankan carried a column of opinion In which King's X. whoever that might be, launched A "would-be" attack agalnht teacher training and the "average supennteiil-nl. Kvery man hai a right ti rrlil cite. Fair criticism is a good thing. Criticism and "mud-ming-lng" ought not to be confused, however. King's X pounced on teacher training without giving facts to substantiate his statements. Ills words Just .ft-lotl off llkj a magic stream, lacking both thought and fait. His whole contention was that teaihor training and teacher colleges &Tf trying to fasten their methods on teachers and prospec tive teachers with no regard to academic training. Contrary to King's X opinion the teachers college is not think ing of method only. The directors of the teacher college and teacher training have stood firmly for re quiring its graduates to have 105 hours of academic training. They have also made n stand along with city superintendents requir ing n teacner of high school ub Jccts to possess a minor in the subject which Is taught. Docs that look like method was the "whole show ?" King's X no doubt knows how many hours are required for a degree, and no doubt know.i that teachers, like tvery othr line of professional workers, require professional training. He should prove that twenty hours credit which teaches the science of learning and how to present subject matter is really a wasted am ant of credit. Such a group of "average su perintendents" according to King's X! They are just a lot of mechanical men. posing as seri ous minded chaps, with no ability to think, and gullible as the most gullible. He also tells us that the superintendents have a false idea of culture. It may oe that the "average su perintendent" is different than the "regulars." He ought to be. He is older. He is moir experienced. He has seen enough of life to make him a little more serious minded. Just a lot of these "av erage superintendents" saw more in one hour of the World war than some people will see in all their life. They have met up with problems of life that are real. One of their problems is to squelch explosions like that of King's X which have a lot of mud to throw and nothing to offer. I feel quite sure, King's X, that a good many of these sterile minded superintendents are able to take the floor against you single handed and answer all of your criticisms in short order. Why don't you try one? XV. C. JACKMAN. DEFENDS TEACHERS COLLEGE. To the editor: As ore with years of actual teaching experience. I feel quali fied to take part in the debate initiated by your budding young columnist, the dog. In the first place, let me admit that I too feel that any teacher should have a thorough training in the subject matter he is to teach, but I can not look upon "methods" with the same scorn as does the "dog." I feel that anyone will grant th it it is admirable for one to know a subject thoroughly, but this in itself never taught a group of pupils anything. It is the tech nique of attractively presenting understandable subject matter that makes the successful teacher. Without this, the most learned of teachers is a miserable failure. Tt is for these reasons that I feel that th teachers college is rendering a vital service to this state, and I personally feel that f owe a great debt to this institu tion. A TEACHER.

Surely you know that I take my own opinions rather lightly. Tho onlv thing that ails me Is that I am fond of the sound of my own voice. After all, there is no reason why you ahould take anything I say too seriously. In a sim ilar way, I choose to disregard your remarks, although it does seem rudo of you to bite the hand that fed you so recently. Well, no more free lunches un til you apologize.
