Tf la hsrnmlnc traditional for
persons with nothing to say, yet
with tne urge 10 say u wn.
sively as possible, to revert to an
old quotation used by Lewis Car
roll in his "Through the Looking
. . 1- I 11 1
Glass." It runs someming im
tvwa qb vr.ii nrohablv know "The
time has come, the walrus said, to
talk of many things, or snips ami
shoes and sealing wax and cab
bages and kings." At least the
quotation opens the way for your
somewhat 'walrusian,' (apologies
to lexicographers), editor to chat
ter about trivialities.
The United tSates is recovering.
While newspaper reports of pro
gress upward are so voluminous as
to be a bit confusing, now and then
one runs across data more easy to
understand. The July survey of
the National City Bank of New
York as to economic conditions
has just come to the editor's desk.
The following points are hearten-
lnE: A
1. Stock prices have advanced
some 85 percent since March 1.
Bond prices have advanced 15 per
cent. 2. At this time of the year, when
business men usually expect a
summer slump to be well under
way there has been a rise so vigor
ous that seasonal restraining in
fluences have had no effect.
3. More than 1,600,000 workers
have been re-employed since the
ed of March.
4. From April to May there was
an increase of 11 percent in fac
tory payrolls. This is a neat con
trast with the usual seasonal
movement which is downward.
5. The farmer is gaining not
only because the prices of his
products are better, but because
they ahve advanced more than the
prices of the things he buys.
Old National City goes on to
point out encouraging things in
the industrial and financial world,
indicating that the worst is over.
It talks about the Glass-Steagall
banking act and sounds a rather
gloomy note, mentioning the pro
vision requiring member banks of
the Federal Reserve System to di
vorce their security affiliates. But
then of course National City, (who
hasn't forgotten the Mitchell case),
has no doubt a bitr of salt left on
its tongue, said salt having ac
cumulated there during recent
months, tl was doubtless some
what of a shock to that institution
to have the happy wedlock be
tween it and its own security af
filiate rent assunder.
The editor stopped to look in on
one of these street corner auction
sales last evening and saw another
side of the picture. There a
blatant auctioneer, anxious to get
rid of things and no doubt go home
to bed, disposed of beds for a dol
lar, rocking chairs for 50 cents,
dressers for two dollars, and so on.
In the background, on the steps of
the house which was to be their
home no more, was the family
which was forced by the press of
circumstances to dispose of its
wordly goods. The eyes of the
mother were tear-filled as she sat
with the two young boys who were
her sns.
There Is reJ tragedy in such
occurences. And so many of them
have takwi place these past
months-In cities, towns, and on
favnis. What anguish must come
to rmnt&OB, seeing things that
were trir being virtually given
away to strangers. No more will
a jnohr tack her children to
sleep in that bed which is being
packed into a nearny irucx. ino
which is being toted away by some
person whom she docs not know.
The editor does not mean to be
come maudlin about this. Yet it
docs make one hope, and hope
Wniv thnt our e-eneration will so
conduct itself as to avoid another
im Hiirh nfl we have lust passed
thru. One can reflect upon our
superior educational advantages
and almost conciuue tnai we are
enlightened enough to watch the
danger signals anu insure n con
tinuing prosperity. But the tongue
muat wander into tne chock, tse
nouua amu limes will return
nmi lohs will abound, and
then that very human trait of
selfishness will Jeaa me country
into an irrational business era
which will end the same way. To
me it seems that if the schools
could somehow train youg minds
to control that trait they would
have done more ror civilization
than if they would teach every
man, woman, and child to memor
ize all the books in the library of
congress. But that is perhaps the
same as asking them to teach pigs
to fly altho the motive is certainly
more practical.
The Nebraskan in this issue, and
in ennuinp issues, runnine home
town stories on summer students,
written from a country angle.
Time or space win not permit me
nublication of all these stories and
so some students will be slighted.
But we are drawing the stories
out of a hat in order to be fair
ohm it it and exoress reerets that
all of them may not be used. The
stories were originally prepared Dy
the university news service and are
beine used this week by papers in
your various home towns.
A little naivete has just taken
place in the Nebraskan office
which merits comment. A school
man stopped in for a copy of last
week's paper saying that he had
been in Chicago during the past
week. We asked him his name,
desiring to run a small personal
for he said he had spent part of
his time at the N. E. A. conven
tion because we thought that his
friends would be interested.
Sharply, (and somewhat childishly
we thought), he declared that he
didn't want publicity and refused
to reveal his identity although he
did let it slip that he taught in
Minnesota.
If there is anything to be
ashamed of in having it known
that one has attended the N. E. A.
convention, The Nebraskan ear
nestly desires to know what it is
for it would make a great story.
Most newspapers have constantly
co-operated with the schools and it
is curious to find such a person as
this one who refuses to co-operate
with the newspapers. In this pre
cise situation the gentleman's curt
refusal certainly-cannot be attribu
ted to any quality of admirable
modesty. It rather appears to be
a warped conceution of the rela
tion of schoolman to the public. We
shall be the first to admit that it
is his business whether or not he
wants his name in the paper, but
we take the liberty of adding that
in his case it was darn poor business.
Much of he material in the cur
rent isue has been gathered and
written by the five students in Pro-

their first taste of reporting and
the Nebraskan is printing their
stories virtually as they prepared
them because the editir wishes to
spare them the odium of seeing
their first masterpieces butchered
beyond recognition by a copy pen

rather well.

thing else aeain and that will all
come out in the play.
