DR. HMMAN SPEAKS
Explains tho Objeot of tbo RoligiouB Edu
cation Oonferonoo. All Relig
ious Boots to bo Eep
rosontod. Professor Hinman spoke at convoca
tion Monday morning on the subject
of the conference on religious educa
tion, which is to convene April 5 and
G at the First Congregational church
in this city.
The conference, said Professor Hin
man in explaining his subject, is called
in behalf of the University of Ne
braska and pastors' association of Lin
coln, and will be presided over by
Chancellor AndrewB. The movement lo
in harmony with a movement all over
the United States, the national organi
zation being at Washington, with Jus
tice Harlan as president. Already
there are organizations in several
states, tho impetus In Nebraska com
ing from Iowa.
The alms of tho conference may be
shown by calling attention to its needs.
In tho moving thoughts of tho time
and the general change of life, there is
also a change in tho matter of gen
eral education. Tho young people now
adays do not receive the Bame amount
nor the kind of religious training that
they formerly did, and it is only proper
that there should bo some suitable
training to accustom young people to
religious habits. Religion Is a prime
factor in life. It Is at the very basis
of everything, and must not be left at
loose ends or in an unsatisfactory con
dition. It is an Insistent problem, said
Professor Hinman, and appeals to pa
rents and to the people of the whole
country.
The trouble is that many people do
not know how, or what, to teach their
children. They have the will, but not
tho plan and conferences of this na
ture may help to give It to them. Sun
day school teaching is defective in
point of method, and Uiub fails to ac
complish fully its ends, but by modern
methods much may be accomplished.
Religion is something that, must bo
early drilled Into children, and if tere
is a lack of religious training during
childhood and if tho young are left
to found a religion for themselves very
unsatisfactory results will be obtained.
One object of this meeting, said tho
speaker, is to secure an inter-denominational
conference. The problem be
ing a convnon one, the treatment of It
must also be common. The very con
dition of inter-denomination makes it
necessary not to urge different modes
of theological thought. The conference
will not be for the purpose of discuss
ing fundamental theories of theology,
but different methods of training. In
dealing with the rising question the
promoters of the movement in Ne
braska are awarded the active support
of many gentlemen of prominence
throughout the state. Tho presidents
of Doane and York colleges, the su
perintendents of many of the high
schools and many clergymen of high
standing are interested in the question.
The opening address of tho confer
ence will bo delivered by Chancellor
Andrews. Professor Hill will read a
paper on "The Religious Instruction
Suited to Children and to Youth." Pro
fessor Waal wljl discuss the question
of "Religious Training In Colleges."

letes Contest.
The annual all around indoor ath
letic contest was held last Saturday
afternoon in tho armory. Tho con
test this year was characterized by tho
smaTT number of contestants, there be
ing but three who entered. This can
only bo attributed to the fact that
there Ib at present a lack of interest
in this work. As is well known, there
are a number of strong men who did
not enter the contest at all. A fear
that too much training would bo apt
to break down their health possibly
kept some away.

Hagensick and Pillsbury. In tho five

Ono of tho most interesting meet
ings of tho graduate club which havo
been held this year took place last Fri
day ovonlng at tho homo of Professor
and Mrs. Caldwoll. The subjoct for
discussion was tho "Recent Dovolop
mont and Tendencies in Ethical

had been adopted for tho work in tho
club. Horotoforo tho discussions havo
pertained entirely to tho pedagogy of
giaduBtw" ytmtki From now on, how
ever, they will tako up tho progress of

tific linos. Tho discussions will bo

WILL SETTLE CHAMPIONSHIP.
A second basket-ball tournament has
been arranged between tho four class
teams. This Is to furnish an opporr
tunity to the sophomores and tho
juniors to set at rest any doubts as to
tho class championship. The sopho
mores are tho only ones to deny to tho
juniors the supremacy In class basket
ball. The tournament will be held In
the armory Thursday evening, March
27.
The Juniors have defeated both the
freshmen and the seniors, but havo not
met the sophomores, and though tho
latter have been beaten by tho fresh
men, they contend that this does not
give the juniors the championship. As
the tournament will put the question
it rest.-jjrovided the juniors win, much
Interest Is being manifested in it.
The present rank of the classes Is as
follows: Juniors, freshmen, sopho
mores, seniors.
An admission of 10 cents to the tour
nament will be charged.
