There aro som6 peoplo in every
community who think thnt the Elgn

forced as any other law. . So far
tho officers and the judges havo not

Thero continues to be a significant
growth in attendance of students at
the University of Nebraska. As tho
Journal is being prepared for tho
press tho actual registration for tho
fall semester Is 4,702. This includes
only students of collego grade, those
in actual attendance of classes in the
various colleges of tho university. It
does not take count of tho registra
tion in the various schools and ox
tension departments of tho university
nor the presons enrolled for graduate
work.
Tho present attendnnco Is near 4C0
in excess of that a year ago, a con
dition somewhat contrary to tho gen
eral expectation of tho university
authorities and In a way surprising in
face of rather unusual business con
ditions. A number of students havo
feturnod to finish professional cours
es begun before or during tho war,
taking advantago of the quiet in their
particular lino to complete their uni
versity work. Thero is also a signifi
cant sontimont among many who have
roturnou for Buch work that a uni
versity education ia a real assot,
BDeaklnK broadly, when it comes to
finding renumoratlvo employment. All
other things equal tho old adage "tho
survival of tho fittest" today means
tho survival of tho college-educated
persons In tho general reduction of
forces throuKhout tho industrial
world. University Journal.
