ather absurd to give th?m the studies
of the leisure class. Also many a boy

have a good eye and a steady arm, and
may make a skilful carpenter or brick

as wide as the diversity of men. . Ger

technical schools for the artisan class.
In short, we should make it as easy in
our public schools for a boy or girl to
obtain training in mechanics, plumbing,

Of the 1909 Nebraska Cornhusker
the greatest book ever
by students.
As stated on its title page the Corn
husker is "published annually by the
upper clashes of the Univernity of Ne
braska, volume throe being a partial
record of the huppenings during the
cwllejje year lOOlHOOX" To make this
recurtJ there are Ail pages of bright,
snappy matter, including photographs,
drawing and cartoons.
Two hundred pages of the book are
devoted to a hintury of each of the
classes with individual paragraphs and
photographs for each of the upper class
men. This matter is arranged .by col
leges, each department of the univer
sity having its graduates and junior
ttmuped together. Athletics claim
forty-nine pages ,and the military
tiw.nts are given fifteen pages. Sixty
ugs are given over to the fraterni
ties and Bororitiej, fifty pages are taken
up hy other societies, and the rest of
the book is devoted to literary coni o
ijilions, roasts and jokes.

As managing editors the Cornhusker
has E. W. Hills, 190!), K. S. Moseley
1010, C. P. Peterson, law 100!), and L.
H. Studevant. medical 1000. Associate
editors are named as follows: Helen

Ethel Perkins, 1910, Florence Uiddell
1010. Jessie Deming, 1010, Vallery
White, 1010. There are some forty
other assistants on the staff who have
had a part in getting together the ma
terial which makes up the book
Probably the most noticeable feat
ure of the 1010 Cornhusker, wherein it
differs from the publications of pre
vious years, is in the artistic effect ob
tained in grouping the individual
photographs. In the arrangment of
the junior and senior pictures a stand
ard form has been followed throughout
the book, but in the fraternity, sorority
and society departments there is dis-
this applies to women as well as to
men. women s wages are low be
cause they are usually unskilled and al
so in a crowded class. Our cities and
our towns should be dotted with train
ing schools suitable for giving practical
preparation for agriculture, manufac
tures, and commence. At present, the
unemployed or the very poor have no
trade of any kind, or are confined to
some one habitual task, like sewing on
clothing cut by machinery. Today,
when carpenters or plumbers get four
dollars for a day of short hours, and
even "make work." no man handy
with tools need be poor or out of em
ploymcnt long. It should not be neces
sary to press this matter upon the
reader; its effectiveness for increasing
the wages of the very poor must ap
pear at a glance. In addition, its ulti
mate end is to inculcate individual in
dependence and self-respect; it frees
the laborer from servile dependence for
his post upon the mere caprice of an
employer. The increased efficiency
given to an unskilled man increases his
utility to his employer, and increase
the demand for his services.
Middle and Western states, where the
tralfic is comparatively light, we take
land of an average value of $100 per
acre and cut it up with highways
sixty-six feet in width, practically two
thirds of the same being given over to
weeds which furnish an inexhaustible
supply of seeds for the adjoining farm
lands. The farmer in Germany who
has conquered the weeds on his ground
need have no thought of them being
started again from uncultivated or uncared-for
land along the roadways.
There are r.o weeds, no mud, r.6 chuck
holes, no sand stretches in the roads.
One of the simplest and most practi
cal measures that could be taken for
j inc uuttt-'i inc. ik u. lua'ia ... tuc
1 States would be to reduce their width
to from one-third to one-half of what
they now are.
In the United States, public high
ways in the states given below may be
estimated as follows: Minnesota, 80,-
00); Wisconsin. 60,000; Michigan. C0,
000; Iowa, 70,000; Kansas, 70,000; Ne
braska, ,"0,000; Missouri, 80,000; Illi
nois, W.000; Indiana, 70,00'); Ohio, 80.
000; total, 7OO.0U0 miles. Reducing the
width of these public highways, which
now average sixty-six feet, to thirty
six feet, would irive back to the farm
ers of these states, for cultivation, 1;
million acres of generally tillable land,
which, at an average valuation of $100
per acre, would mean the restoration
to the producing values of the state:

S-ijue, but it goes further than- that in I
embodying something of the (Nebraska
spirit in book form, so that tho univer
aity student ami alumnus feel the in
fluence of the school about him as he
tuAiks at the publication of its upper
classes. There has been an attempt
everywhere on the part of the editors
to gain for their boooks this"Nebraska
spirit." It is manifest on the dedica
tion page in the words with which the
v?ork is dedicated to Dr. George Evert
(Jondra, professor of geology, who has
detsrt conspicuous among the faculty as
a. chumpion of school loyalty. It is
manifest in the verses of the universi
ty ong, composed by ex-Chancellor E.
lienjamin Andrews, and it shows else
nwKire in the book wherever there has
Iteen a chance to bring in the "Ne
Itnki spirit" to the front.
The Cornhusker stall is itself com
jiojwd of students who are generally
recognized as having the spirit which
they have striven to give their book.
VV. A. Robertson, law 1000, is editor-in-
page designs which serve as a back
ground for tha individual photographs.
In most of the sorority pictures, for in
stance, tho pictures have been arrang
ed in a form symbolical of the soroiity
pin or some other emblem peculiar to
the particular organization concerned.
This idea has never been tried before
in a Cornhusker or other university an
nual and it gill probably meet with the
full approval of the students.
Not only are the pictures arranged
artistically, but tha general art work
in the publication is above the average
of university books. A number of full
page drawings by P. K. Fredericks,
1011, are worthy of note and heading
by "Deacon" are well executed.
' The one noticeable deficiency of the
book is in fun. The 1000 Cornhusker
will probably rank as the most serious
annual ever yet published by the uni
versity students. There are plenty of
roasts, but real downright fun is lack

Want to be strong?
Eat more Quaker Oats. Eat it for
breakfast every day. This advice U
coming from all sides as a result of re
cent experiments on foods to determine
which arc the best for strength and en
durance. It has been proved that caters
of Quaker Oats and such cereals are far
superior in strength and endurance to
those who rely upon the usual diet of
heavy, greasy foods.
When all is said and done on the
cereal food question, the fact remains
that for economy and for results in
health and strength, Quaker Oats stands
first of all. It is the most popular food
in the world among the foods sold in
packages.
