That man and all organisms
were generated by the earth Is the
explanation of an ancient school of
philosophy of the origin of life as
stated in the chronological history
of the world written by Diodorus
of Sicily, which has been trans
lated from the Greek bv Dr. C. H.
Oldfather, dean of the college of
arts and science.
The translations, which Dean
Oldfather works upon "in his lei
sure time, are for the LoeD class
ical Library, a series of Classical
Greek and Latin texts, with par
allel English translations. The se
ries, into which Dean Oldfather
modestly states "you can't crash
every day," completes the treas
ures of Classical philosophy and
literature for the scholar and
scholarly layman, with transla
tions by eminent authorities from
Britain and the United States.
Origin of Life.
According to Diodorus, who
wrote between 60 and 31 B. C, of
the embryos developed in the wet
places of the earth's surface, "such
as had partaken of the warmth set
off to the higher regions, having
become winged, and such as re
tained an earthy consistency came
to be numbered in the class of
creeping things and of the other
land animals, while those whose
composition partook the most of
the wet element gathered into the
region congenial to them, receiving
the name of water animals."
The earth and all heavenly bod
ies were formed, we gather from
this school of philosophy, much in
the same manner described in the
Bible. Directly opposing the be
liefs of Aristotle that the universe,
as well as the earth and human
race, was eternal, this group re

lates the story of the creation
thus: When in the beginning the
universe was being formed, both
heaven and earth were indisting
guishable in appearance; then,
when their bodies separated from
one another, the universe took on
in all its parts the ordered form
now seen.
Division of Elements.
The air set up a continual mo
tion, and the fiery element in it
gathered into the highest regions
(accounting for the sun and heav
enly bodies). All that was mud
like and thick and contained also
moisture, sank because of its
weight into one place; and as this
continually turned about upon it
self and became compressed, out
of the wet it formed the sea, and
out of what was firmer, the land
which was entirely soft.
Diodorus not only wrote the his
tory of the creation and develop
ment of the human race, but also
recorded an account of the origin
and growth of all the peoples
around the Mediterranean up to
60 B. C. His works were origin

of which are preserved in run

AT
'Public Works' Outlined;
Also Recommendation
Of Engineers.
Professor Kesner of Engineering
college was the speaker at the
Professional men's luncheon Sat
urday at the Lincoln hotel.
The topic of the talk was "Pub
lic Works." Professor Kesner out
lined the theory of the program
recommended by the committee of
th American Society of Civil En
gineers in 1932.
(1). The funds expended to pay
for the works add to the buying
power of the community.
(21. Public works add to the
public wealth in the form of com
munity facilities.
(3). Such a program starts a
train of increased employment
reaching back through many in
dustries and stimulating private
activity.
Hi. It uses existing public
works organizations, saving time
and avoiding widespread addi
tional unemployment.
"Supporters of this theory have
maintained that for the sake of
higher prices, profits, employment,
it has been necessary for the gov
ernment to do the borrowing and I
the spending. Undoubtedly the!
government has the power to
'prime the pump.' They have
failed to mention two unpleasant
ceremonies which follow. The gov
ernment must pay back what it
borrows and since it does not pro
duce the means of paying it must
take it from industry. That kind
of credit instead of priming the
pump, freezes the water in the
well," declared Professor Kesner.

High School Students Work
On Know Your County
Competition.
Hundreds of school students
their parents and friends two uni
versity faculty member s and
scores of prominent Nebraskans
are setting their shoulders to the
task of giving the state a brand
new fund of historical and geo
graphical information to be used
by education. The statewide "Know
Your County" map contest has
passed through it's early stages
and students of the schools are
busily finding out and recording
every interesting thing about their
community and state that is at all
available.
After the opening of the com
petition, Jan. 22, scores of entries
from schools in all parts of the
state began pouring into the etate
contest office here in Lincoln. Stu
dents ranging in age from eight
in the fourth grade to fourteen
and fifteen in high school are try
ing their luck and skill at winning
a free trip to the World's Fair at
Chicago next summer.
This contest is designed to fill a
real need in Nebraska. Historians
and school people have felt for long
that more attention should be
given the history and geography of
our own state. And most of them
felt far too little of the existing
interesting knowledge was avail
able to the people. ,
Pioneer stories, Indian legends,
crop and soil conditions in unique
parts of the state, birthplaces of
now famous people, and in fact all
manner of interesting worthwhile
knowledge is being lost forever to
historians because no means of col
lecting and recording this informa
tion has been devised.
In the "Know Your County" con
test, the students of the schools
compete for prizes by gathering j
and submitting this sort of infor
mation. They are furnished with
pictorial maps of Nebraska which
show most of this material that
has been gotten to date. All they
need do is refer to this map and
add to it all that they can find.
Thirty-two counties of the state
are represented in the early con
test entries. The first county to en
ter was Lancaster under the direc
tion of Jesse J. Correll, county su
perintendent of schools.
The committee formed to judge
the material submitted by the
young historians has two members ':
recruited from the University of
Nebraska faculty. Dr. G. E. Con-1
dra of the survey department, and I
Dr. E. H. Barbour of the geology '
department, will sit in judgment i
on the youngsters' material. A '
prominent Nebraska alumnus.
Harry B. Coffee, now a congres-.
sional candidate from the Fifth ;
district, is also a member of the '.
judging committee.
The formal closing date for the
contest is set for April 1.
