LIBRARIAN GIVES ADDRESS. Gilbert Doane, ' university li brarian, spoke at the Nebraska Genealogical society's annual meet ing. Friday, on "The Early History gC Rhode Island." Dr. Walker of Botany Department Leaving For Year's Study, Praises Relations With Panhellenic Group Expressing complete satisfaction at tbe co-operation which co-ed sorority representatives had given her, Dr. Elda R. Walker, faculty advisor to the Panhellenic council and assistant professor of botany, reviewed her relations with that body dur ing the past year and a half, Saturday morning. Dr. Walker is leaving next week-end for the Hawaiian islands where she will spend several monins siuayiugu- tropical vegetation. "The attitude of Panhellenic rep resentatives has been highly com mendable," Dr. Walker said. '"Dur ing the past semester it has been marked by a desire to curb ex penses wherever possible. Several large sororities are giving no downtown parties because they feel that the expense is prohibitive. One of the outstanding actions taken by the Panhellenic council during the past semester was that of co operating with the Interfraternity council in a successful effort to force hotels and orchestras to re duce prices." Sorority observance of rushing rules has been good, according to Dr. Walker, who reports that only a very few minor Infractions of rules have occurred during the time of her connection with the Panhellenic council. Penalties were imposed on violators. Miss Walker said, to check further infractions. "Rushing rules, as were in force last fall, were passed last spring and although they proved fairly satisfactory the Panhellenic coun cil has found several weaknesses and is at present revising them again," Dr. Walker explained. MORITZ POINTS OUT Teachers Too Are Feeling Crisis Says Nebraska Educator. CITES LOWER SALARIES "No occupation, trade or profes sion has escaped the adverse ef fects of the economic depression of the past two years, and the teaching profession is feeling it now with steadily increasing force," stated R. D. Moritz, direc tor of the department of educa tional service at the University of Nebraska, in a recent interview. "Early in the spring of 1931 pol icies of retrenchment by public of ficials were very much in evidence at the annual elections and re- elections of teachers,," he said "In many places scheduled raises were not forthcoming, and in many more, teachers were given the alternative of accepting a redue tion in salary or of assuming addi tional responsibilities in order that the work might be performed by fewer employees. Confronted with the necessity of reducing school budgets, school boards could find no other solution to the problem Moritz pointed out that while this method of retrenchment solved the local problem, it aggravated the situation in another direction by increasing the number of un employed teachers. Added to. this, he said, is the fact that the teacher turnover in 1931 was the smallest that it has been for years. Fewer teachers resigned to enter other occupations or to accept domestic responsibilities than would have done so under normal conditions. Consequently, every teachers' placement bureau reported more than normal over supply of well qualified teachers In the spring of "This surplus has been increased in recent months by the growing number of men and women from other occupations and professions who, having been forced into the ranks of the unemployed, are seek ing employment as teachers," Mor itz continued. "Most of these new comers are college or university graauai.es in law, business admin istration, pharmacy, engineering, or liberal arts. Many are married women who find it necessary to secure employment in order to re lieve their straightened circum stances and turn to teaching as the only way out. "Discouraging as the Immediate outlook Is, the situation has its (Continued on Page 4.) VERSE BY STATE HIGH STUDENTS TO BE PRINTED An "Anthology of Nebraska High School V jrse" will be pub lished under the auspices of the university extension division on May 10, 1932. It will contain fifty or seventy-five poems written by Nebraska hieh arhnnl atiifonta poems written during the current school year. Poems for this anthology will be accepted any time from now on to May 1. They may be of any length, type or form, and upon any subject desired. The best of those received will fcs published. Dean Henzlik Publishes ' Three Education Papers Three articles by Dean F. E. Henzlik of the teachers college have recently been published. "The Small Town SuDerintendencv as a Future Career" was published in the December lamia nf tha School Executives magazine. Appearing In the Nebraska Educational Jour nal for January is the article on "Some Fundamental Objectives in the Training of Teachers," and in the January issue of Educational Methods was published an article nn "rwalrshla rTiararteristlcs to Look for in Evaluating the Recita tion." Dr. Walker, who has been con nected with .the University of Ne braska faculty since 1906, has no patience with the school of con temporary critics who are con stantly predicting a gloomy fu ture for the younger generation. "It is always amusing to hear people speak of the frivolous atti tude of our "jazz age" youngsters. Personally I have no doubt but that they will all be good citizens of this country. Although students on the surface may appear to be indifferent to problems which they must face they are serious at heart." Dr. Walker is now on one semes ter leave of absence from the Uni versity of Nebraska. She will go first to Tuscon, Ariz., where she will use the facilities of the Uni versity of Arizona in studying desert vegetation. She also plans to visit some of the California uni versities enroute to the islands. In Hawaii she will use the facili ties of the University of Hawaii and the Bishop museum. Among other plans she intends to visit the Island of Hawaii on which grows a mammoth fern forest. She will return to Nebraska in late summer. TEACHING JOBSARE SCARCE Education Service Says Calls For Candidates Cut in Half During Year. Records of the department of educational service show a consid erable over supply in the number of teacher candidates in relation to the number of positions available. From Sept. 1, 1931, to Jan. 27, 1932, 881 applicants for teaching Eositions registered at the bureau, luring the same period, the bureau received only 57 calls for teachers. Last year, that is from Sept. 1, 1930 to Jan. 27, 1931, 668 appli cants registered while 114 calls were placed. Just twice the num ber of calls for teachers were made a year ago. Patterson Advises Testament Study . To Attain Culture It you want to be cultured, study the Old Testament. This is the advice Dr. Charles H. Patterson, professor of philos ophy at the University of Nebras ka, gave to members of the Ne braska State Nurses s association assembled in convention at the Lincoln hotel Friday. His subject was "The Meaning of Culture." "A person who would be cul tured," the professor said, "must read some books, especially those representing outstanding achieve ments of the various races. I would suggest, for example, that you get this background by read ing the Old Testament and thus learn about the Hebrews or the works of Plato and get an insight into the Greeks." By culture is meant the attitude a person has toward the problems of life, as viewed on the whole, rather than any segment of it, Dr. Patterson asserted. "Culture is just like a picture puzzle, in ortier to be complete it must nave an me parts," ne con tinued. "A cultured person must see the world from five different angles, natural science, history, great literature, art and religion." How the right kind of an educa tion aids the student in becoming cultured can be proved by taking any freshman to a museum and he will see nothing, "but bring him back when a senior and he will see it all," the professor pointed out.

He declared that the newspaper furnishes the most efficient medium for the advertiser. Chih Ilsien Yao, Hall Huang, Chinese Students Discouraged Over The Dark Future Facing Their Mother Country A black future for their country is soon by two Chinese students in an interview appearing in the Lincoln Star recently. The foreign scholars are discouraged more by the inlcinal weak nesses of their country than by Japanese aggression, they said. Disheartened by news of bombings in Shanghai, the stu dents Chih Hsien Yao and Hall Huang placed the blame for the situation not so much on theo; Japanese as on the political organ ization in China. Th Chapei section of Shanghai, which suffered most from the bombings, is the best residential part of the city, Huang said. The Commercial Press, which was wrecked by bomb attacks, is the largest printing plant in China, ac cording to Yao. It and the depots which were also bombed are near the Chapei region. Walts Word From Brother. Both Yao and Huang have friends in Shanghai about whom they are deeply concerned. Yao has a brother in Antung which is located in the southern sector of Manchuria. Because it takes a month for a letter to reach Yao, the last time he heard from his brother, was be fore the more recent trouble in the Far East. At that time, there was little fighting going on in Man churia, his brother reported, and his family was safe. But Japanese censorship kept the brother from telling any details of the Man churian situation or from voicing any protests against Japanese ac tivity there.

Ben jamin Andrews, former chancellor of the university and the eighth president of Brown university, thrilled the alumni of Brown at a gathering held recently on the campus. "Benny" Andrews, one of America's greatest educators, was chancellor here when he made the speech heard by the old Brown Alumni association. He wrote the words in Lincoln in 1905 and recorded them on one of the old fashioned Edison disc records, made of wax. Dr. A. D. Mead, acting president of Brown, remembered the speech and its effect on the gathering at that time, and shortly after he was told of the plans for the all Rhode Island dinner he bfgan to consider a way to put a surprise element into the program. He recalled that many years ago he had been to a Brown alumni meet ing and that there he had heard the speech of Dr. Andrews repro duced by the phonograph. Dr. Mead soon learned that V. E. Whltaker, of the class of '88, then secretary of the alumni group, was pretty sure he had saved the record and could find it in his attic. He did, so the Brown alumni heard a twenty-seven year old speech. ENGINEER GROUP TO MEET A. S. M. E. Will Hear Three Speakers at Meeting Wednesday.

STUDENT ISJRAVELY ILL Leslie Rood's Condition Is Serious After Operation For Appendicitis. Leslie Rood, sophomore student in the arts and science college, from Omaha, is in a serious con dition at the Lincoln General hos pital following an operation for appendicitis. Rood has been a member of the swimming squad and haa been working on the busi ness aide of the Cornhusker and Awgwan. He is a member of Delta Upsilon. Rood was taken ill last Satur day with influenza which aggra vated an attack of appendicitis and made an operation necessary. Since the operation other compli cations have set In to make his case exceedingly grave, physicians report. lish with difficulty both Yao and Huang have been io the United States less than throe years the two students shook their heads In despair over the political situation in China. Blames Kuomintang. It is the Koumintang, they say which is at the root of all the trouble. Tho Koumintang to China is a counterpart of what fascism is to Italy. It is the dominant po litical party which suppresses all other political organizations, which denies other parties or unsympa thetic groups the right to hold meetings, and which rules China with dictatorial powers. It is because of the attitude of the Koumintang that Chinese banditry has become so rampant, the students say. And it is further the Koumintang's stand which has permitted the Japanese to enter China without much active Chin ese opposition. Both Huang and Yao believe China foolish to rely so much on the League of Nations. "Maybe it could help if China would help itself and fight back when Japan attacks," Huang said.

STAY IN SCHOOL IF POSSIBLE IS BURNETT'S PLEA 'If You Cannot' Earn, You Can at Least Learn,' Says Chancellor. ;'. ,,.- PREPARATION ESSENTIAL University Head Believe? Now Is Best Time to Get Education. "Every student who can possibly remain in school, whether it be university, college, or high school, should do so," Chancellor E. A. Burnett said yesterday in com menting on the start of second semester work. "Parents should co-operate and make every effort to see that their children's educa- tion is not interrupted. "I recall the advice given by Chancellor Canfield of this univer sity in the panic times of the 90's. 'If you can not earn, you can at least learn,' the chancellor de clared, and what good advice it was. We all know that conditions did improve and that those boys and girls who went ahead and prepared for a life work were the successful men and women ten years later. f - - - ' - "There is no investment com parable to the investing of time and money in one's self. Stocks and bonds may depreciate, real estate become hard to sell, com modities go for next to nothing, and yet time and money invested in education pay dividends all thru life. You are the only one who can render such an investment worthless. "Education today is doubly im portant," he said. "Not only are ordinary positions hard to secure, but with the competition prevail ing the young man or woman best prepared has the greatest oppor tunity. Hard times should always be times of preparation for some thing better in the future. A little extra effort, a little extra economy, and determination are needed."
