State Agriculturists Meet
! For Annual Convention;
Name Five Masters.
! A full day of meetings for Ne
1 braska farmers who have gathered
in Lincoln for the annual organ
ized agriculture convention is in
: store Wednesday, when the various i
associations assemble for their;
sessions.
i Faculty members of Nebraska's
agricultural college and state sub
station officials will play an im
portant part in the day long con
clave of Nebraska agriculturists,
whose various phases of organized
agriculture will be explained and
illustrated by the many speakers.
Tuesday night at the tenth an
nual master fanner presentation
dinner, five master farmers were
selected for V.CG by a trio of ng
college officials. W. 11. F.roknw,
director of the ag college exten
sion service; Dr. H. C. Filloy,
chairman of the rural economics
department, and Frank V. Keim,
chairman of the agronomy depart
ment, made the selections for the
Nebraska Farmer.
New master farmers are Wil
liam H. Kerns, Hamilton county:
B. M. Boals, Dakota county;
Michael Cavanaugh, Kearney
county; Earl Monahan, Grant
county, and William Wilkening,
Washington county. Honored men
anil their wives were awarded

again and I notice another young
man, rather tall and thin, who
wears a worried look. He is lis
tening carefully, and row and then
lunges at his note book to Jot
down some point. As I look at him
a certain pity wells up within me
because the poor chap, with all his
willingness to work and his eager
ness to learn, is hopelessly illiter
ate. Having talked with "him pri
vately several limes, and having
seen his quiz papers, 1 know that
I hp whole class hour is one of
Sheer confusion to him. He doesn't
understand the English language;
he can't spell the simplest words.
If he over learned the elementary
rules of grammar he has com
pletely forgotten them. He is un
able to write an examination be
cause he hasn't the faintest no
tion of how to handle an idea or
clothe it in words.
I don't know what to do with
him. I will not enjoy flunking
him, for he is making an effort,
but obviously he is not doing the
work of the course. Another year
of high school might have been a
good thing for him. Terhaps he
should have been led, very gently,
into some field of endeavor more
suitable to his capacities. I have
n't the slightest doubt but that he
will make an excellent citizen, yet
I as a student on the college level
he is a total loss. .
Double-Dare,
j Looking further, I note a few
' more examples of student types.
' Take that big, sullen fellow sit
, ling off to the side near one of
i the windows. Ho always comes
; into the room frowning, and when
j he looks my way (he divides his
time between the great outdoors
i and me), he glares as if I am his
j worst enemy. Usually ho slumps
; back in his chair rather pugna
: ciously as if to say, "Teach me,
i prof, if you think you're big
I enough."
; Directly across the room, near
the rear door, is an exuberant,
1 noisy fellow. He was in top form
! during the football season, for his
j greatest joy was to shout "Rally!"
j at the beginning of the class hour,
! not at all as an outpouring of
I school spirit, but merely for the
fun of creating a disturbance.
I When I walk into the room as the
bell rings I always find him shout
ing to someone on the far side,
and last week I actually saw him
shouting to no one in particular;
he was just shouting.
A short, heavy set chap, sitting
well towai'd the rear of the room,
is another example of bad campus
manners, perhaps the worst, for
he is a consistent cribber. He has
been to rny office on several apple
polishing visits, and shakes hands
ilegantly. 1 really think that some
of his bram cells have not yet '
atrophied, hut he is completely1
lazy, and relies entirely upon one
(if his neighbors during the quiz- ,
i.es. He is copying from the pa
per of a near illiterate- both spell
the same common words In the ;
same uncommon way. He doesn't
know it because he hasn't much ,
idea as to what the course is all 1
about. I have noticed his cribbing 1
from the start (it is very easy to
spot, even if you are not looking
for it I. but so far I haven't said
anything because he will flunk
anyhow, and because I am tired of
playing wet nurse to badly inte
grated adolescents. I've had fun
watching him. since he seems to
think he is putting one over on the
old prof.
Bad classroom manners take
various forms. There to my left,
in the very last row, is a rather
typical unteaehublo young man
who has struck up quite an ac
quaintance with an equally un
teaehable young lady directly in
front of him. 1 have noticed late
ly that their flirtation seems to be
making some headway against my
feeble competition for their atten
tion. I have, with some reverence,
just finished describing a great
book which I hope all students will
make a part of their culture. At
the climactic point of my discus
sion I see that the young man is
leaning forward, and apparently
has told the young lady something
devastntingly funny, for both have
broad grins.
Next to the young lady is a very
young, thin, little fellow reading
the Rag. (Adv.) (I have often
wondered if it takes him so long
because I disturb his trend of
thought, i And right under my i
nose is a genuinely likable chap,
a fairly good student, too, who
receives, nnd stubbornly refusing
to see his mistakes. 1 have tried
to be patient with him, nnd if I
could feel that some progress is
being made I really wouldn't mind
the bother. At that, he is not as
bad as the chap who sits just bo
hind him, who came into my of
fice after two successive quizzes,
loudly demanding his rights, no
more and no less. And across the
aisle is a weepy young lady with
a funny little hat who just can't
understand the low grades she is
getting because she made such a
fine record in high school.
But I am not unhappy ns a col
lege teacher. In the first place,
there are always enough good stu
dents who take a genuine Interest
in their work to make me feel that
in thejr behalf the whole effort is
worth while. Secondly, my sense
of humor saves me from the irri
tation I sometimes feel, and I
realize that in an institution of
higher learning, which presumes
to carrv the ageless torch of cul-

the term he has developed a habit ' . . - - -
of dropping into my office about
twice a week on the slightest pre
text, or for no reason at all. Each
time he manages to "chat" with
me for at least an hour. I am
rather easy going, and really en
joy talking to my students outside
of the classroom, but I have taken
a lot of punishment from this fel
low with all of his aimless, time
killing conversations about things
in general. I look at him in class
and wonder what glad tidings he
will bring me this day.

said, on the firm insistence of her i

cause her sorority took away some
of her going out privileges. She ;
remarked, as a parting shot, that

But looking around the class- I

young lady. There is a chap sit-
ting just olf the center aisle about I

1 have just finished a point that 1
thought significant, and in tin- i
; heat of the moment I may have ;
