"Without sincerity, religion is hypocrisy. If religion is to accomplish its purpose among students, its services must appeal to the basic goodness of youth. Young men and women de mand reasons. The educational trend of modern times is toward individual thinking and the frank questioning of doctrines. If this ten dency is filtering into the church, some steps must be taken to meet it. Parents, as the Rev. Mr. Leland intimates, are to be blamed for the spiritual shortcomings of their sons and daughters. But not, we sua peet, in the way the student pastor believes. Church attendance is harped upon by many parents during the time their offsprings are at home. The subject becomes tiresome and finally distasteful, until the youth who leaves home to attend college is completely disgusted with the affafir. He takes advantage of his new found freedom to spurn church and religion. The pendulum takca a violent swing away from home training. Religion is a delicate subject for any student editor to discuss. Those who are in contact with students, however, are qualified to explain some of their feelings and prejudices. : Nebraska has not gone Hollywood, nor are its students a crew of immoral, dissipated youths. We do not criticize the Rev. Mr. Leland 'a views, for his attitude in the past has ahown him to be a generous, tolerant individ ual. If the Omaha Bee-Newa has taken con text for content, it is unfortunate. When parents use less force and more rea son in directing their children along the straight and narrow path, there will be fewer collegiate back-sliders.

TO THK EDITOIt: Convention is undoutedly one of those good things of which we have n great deal too much. c Americans nre a heterogeneous group of people, who slavishly follow the traditions anil customs established by our often half-witted ancestors, whose atavistic tendencies were even more marked than our ow n. I can understand how foreign peoples, or even Englishmen, could blindly follow their evolutionary Inferiors, but I am shocked and rather difigusted that Americans who have reached tho highest acme of eivilirntion, indi cated by their gum-chewing and golf-plnying abilities, should be so remiss in this matter. How extremely delightful it would be if pen nies were adherents of individualism and did just exactly as they pleased! It is Inconceiv ably exacerbating to me to be regnnlea as a mere puppet which would expire of apoplexy if it were allowed any freedom in its actions. It is indeed my highest ambition to sit in the" wronir seat. In the elnss of the instructor who seats his students alphabetically. Of course I realize that the seats Were probably assigned to expedite matters, but nevertheless, 1 nialn- ain that freedom and individuality should not be sacrificed for speed and efficiency. The teacher who seats his pupils alpliftuet enllv and leouiies them to think exactly as he docs or rather to adopt his ideas mechanic ally, without thinking at all, is surpassingly odious to me. These pedagogs evidently think that the world is already inhabited by Hos siiin'a Universal Robots. Some of that sort of teachers still exist on this campus, although when in an optimistio mood, 1 believe that the number is few. 1 am unable to understand how a university which pretends to be progressive can require its students to attend classes which sincerely bore them to extinction, and out of which they get nothing of value. How much more sensible it Would be to forget conventionality and allow pupils to drop classes in which they arc not at all interested. I am of the opinion that it would be a relief to both students and teachers. Regulation of classes by bells is another cus tom absolutely detrimental to ingenuous thought. Just when one becomes really inter ested in a worthwhile discussion, and would ike to imrsue it farther, the bell rings, and the student needs must go automatically to another class to which he may not at all be attracted. Thus it is, that we follow the traditions, not onlv in school, but everywhere. It isn't so bad to be in mental subjection if you don't realize your condition. X. 1 . Z.

UmP I've bepn a student here at Ne braska, this is my third year, the argument as to whether tho frosh should wear green caps tin liprn n-ninir on. and as far as 1 know the same argument has been an issue in campus lfe for years before my time.

Lonf before the train was offi cially dedicated by Governor Weaver at tha Lincoln Burlington depot last fall, It vas known that there was much room for Improve ment in the number of pigs saved per sow in Nebraska, but such an outstanding Increase In tho effic iency of hog producers In a single year was beyond the wildest hopes of those under whose charge the train was operated. 124,610 Visit Train. Evidently a large number of the 191 Sin tinnU who vlnltpd th train could see the wisdom of III teachings and have practiced them.
