Two issues of the University of
Nehraska extension division bulle
tin issued recently featured the re
port of the conference on youtn
problems and a report of the de

instruction in Nebraska's small
high schools.
Early in July, Dr. A. A. need,
director of the University Exten

in attemnt to solve and analyze
the problems confronting youth
during the new era.
The extension bulletin aescnoes
Urn effort!! of the conference, and
the ultimate report as compiled by
Commissioner Zook. It included
several broad divisions, the first
concerning itself with the aims or
the conference. The second had
to do with the principles and pol
icies involved in the project, and
the third section had to do with
suggested activities and programs
brought out at the meet.
ThA most recent bulletin issued
by the department pointed out that
the University is attempting to
supply the materials needed to
make remedial instruction possible
in the small high school.
"The extension division, in co-operation
with the department of
school administration at Teachers

Colorado, spoke to 300 summer
school students at the University
of Nebraska Friday. In be
half of the present administration,
the speaker outlined parts of tis
programs which he characterized
as President Roosevelt's "long
look."
"The NRA is a disciplined attack
on common problems for the com
mon good," he said. "There has
been an utter lack of discipline in
the past, and that word is the key
note of the new era.
Pointing to the child labor and
sweat shop problems, the former
governor said they were examples
of undisciplined industry before the
"new deal" placed them under the
code system. Bankers in many
cities, he indicated, had used their
institutions without discipline for
private gains at the expense of the
public.
"We have brought the people up
short to realize they must look out
for the common good in industrial
life." he said. "Those acts which
prove to be for the common good

COREY ADVOCATES
CHANGED METHODS
Social Science Teaching
Needs Netv Point of
View He Says.
Social sciences have lone been
taught in Nebraska hign scnoois
but not in such an attractive man
ner according to Prof. S. S. Corey,
associate professor of history and
principles or education.
In a recent survey it was iouna
tbat out of the 496 Nebraska ac
credited hiE-h schools. 493 offered
courses in social sciences. Of these
schools 400 offered courses in
woild history, and 200 offered
courses in advanced civics. "It is
evident that there has been no lack
of social sciences courses in our
high schools throughout Nebras
ka," Corey said.
According to Professor Corey,
members of the community should
understand social forces and con
flicts. This is good reason for of
fering the numerous courses in our
schools.
A commission on social science
recently appointed by the Ameri
can Historical association made a
comprehensive study of the educa
tional values of the social sciences.
Their final volume was published
a.
a few montns ago ana contains
nracticable aa well as revo
lutionary suggestions regarding
the teaching of social sciences.
History, civics, geopraghy, and
such subjects have been taught
with the wrong objectives in view,
nrrnrdinc to Professor Corey. Pu
pils have memorized facts and
dates which have been uninterest
ing to them and which they soon
fnrcret. Rather thev should be
made to understand and appreciate
the value of the things tbat have
happened long ago and are hap
pening. This practical change is
about to take place In the teaching
methods of the social sciences, ac
cording to Professor Corey, and is
not far off.

of the states of the union studying
their methods of soil conservation
and geographical aspects of our
country.

GRID DOPE POINTS TO
NEED FOR FAST TEAM
Schulte Stresses Big Loss
Of Veterans; Early
Gopher Tilt.
Henry F. Schulte, head line
coach at Nebraska, gave a typical
D. X. Bible interview on the pros
pects for the 1934 Cornhusker
football team in saying that ."the
hopes are for speed to offset the
lack of experience."
Ten of the starting eleven on the
1933 Big Six Champion team will
be lost by graduation to the 1934
squad. Franklin Meir, veteran cen
ter will be the only regular starter
back.
Despite so many stars being lost,
the 1934 Cornhuskers will be no
mediocre team, if last spring's
workouts run true to form In the
fall campaign. Last year's fresh
man crop will fill the gap left open
by graduates in athletic ability,
but experience, one of the main
factors needed on any athletic
team, is lacking.
Short Practice Time.
With the Minnesota game sec
ond on the schedule, the Nebraska
eleven has a short month of prac
tice to get in shape for one of the
strongest teams in the nation.
At the end of last spring's prac
tice there were some 28 gridsters
who had seen action in the largest
part of the practice games; ten of
the 28 were freshmen last year.
Players who saw the most action
were:

India's Troubles Due to Conflict
Between Education and Government
India's youth, and hence India's
future, is caught in the grips of a
vicious circle. On the one hand
there is a strong appeal, which
sometimes becomes violent, among
India's educated youth for a
change In the political and social
structure from the present order
of society to communism.
But on the olher side is the firm
grasp which Great Britain has
upon the revenues of India, ana
the all powerful control it uses in
retarding the growth of India's
educational system which at pres
ent is educating only one-fourth of
the native children.
This, briefly, is the interesting
story Professor P. A. Wadia had
to tell about the stormy times
through which IndU is passing.
"Our younger generation in In
dia is undergoing a change that
was bound to come sooner or later.
The circumstances in which India
finds itself were inevitable," Pro
fessor Wadia stated. "And as a re
sult the youths of India are living
double lives. They are being ex
posed to new economic and social

SUBJECT OF P. A.
IDIA'S ADDRESS
Indian Educator States
Economic Conditions
Root of Trouble.
The plight of India's economic
and social order were discussed by
Professor P. A. Wadia before an
open meeting of Phi Delta Kappa
held last Monday at a dinner meet
ing at the Grand Hotel.
In his talk Professor Wadia
pointed out that the main solution
of India's problems lies in the so
cialization of the land, and a re
turn to the traditional community
idea. The crowded living condi
tions and the availability of good
land, he points out, is a major
problem with the native Indians.
The idea of making the com
munity responsible for all its mem
bers seemed to be the only hope;
for India to support its large
population, according to Professor
Wadia.
The Bombay professor also de
scribed the living conditions of the
people of India, their means of
livelihood, and the standards of liv
ing. The effects of the mal-adjust-ment
in India's social order has re
sulted in two district social dis
turbances, according to Professor
Wadia. One is the co-operative
movement, made up largely of the
younger generation, who advocate
the use of force in freeing India
from England's yoke. The other is
the non-cooperative movement led
by Mahatma Ghandi. The speaker
vigorously denied that Ghandi
had been responsible for the upris
ings in India. The idol of all In

Cornhusker Fans Buy
More Tickets This Year
Despite drouth stricken, parched,
sun baked, and otherwise adverse
conditions for the fall crop, tha
University of Nebraska s sale of
football tickets goes on at top
speed, according to John K. Sel
leck, in charge of sales.
Reservations for season tickets
for the 1934 home games of the
Huskers keep pouring in daily to
the athletic office, and a record
year, at least as far as the box
office is concerned, is much in
prospect, Selleck stated.
"Right now there are more res
ervations on file than the total
season tickets sold all last year,'
was Selleck's optimistic statement.
While attendance picked up last
year over the previous sesaon, the
fans of Nebraska's mighty Corn

ment next fall.
theories, and at the same time con
tinually absorb the deep spiritual
background of the pasts."
And right here, Professor Wadia
believes, lies the key to the trou
bles of India. And the only solu
tion which would prove satisfac
tory he believes is a more edequate
system of education.
"If India was given the oppor
tunity of enjoying an adequate
educational system," the Indian
professor pointed out," educator
would be aW to draw upon the
rich spiritual roots of the past and
effectively combine them with the
teachings of our modern civiliza
tion." But India's youth have been de
prived of this privilege and as a
result they have become indiffer
ent to the old social standards, as
suming an iconoclastic attitude,
which in turn has created a fer
vent even radical desire for free
dom from British control, accord
