Next wcok students-will be given an
opportunity to nhow their loyalty to
one of tho important departments of
student activity. Three representa
tives of the university will meet three
men from Colorado on the field of in
tellectual rontest. Theso men have
been chosen because they have shown
especial fitness for the work. They
have spent much time and energy in
preparation and deserve the loyal sup
port of all.
Nebraska has been too lax In her
support of debaung in past years. This
is a form of student activity which,
though not, perhaps, as exciting as
Borne, Is as important as any other
Btudent enterprise. By our success in
It will our standing be determined in
the minds of a large number of people.
It is Important then that students and
faculty alike turn out and Bupport the
teams. The meetings at chapel next
week ought to be, and will be. if every
one does his part, brim full of vim,
enthusiasm and inspiration for the
team.
PROFESSOR ROSS ON THE NA
TIONAL UNIVERSITY.
Dr. Ross of the political science de
partment, when aaked his opinion on
the proposed national university at
Washington and its Influence on Amer
ican education, said that his under
standing of the matter was that Car
negie gave $10,000,000 to universities
in Scotland and an equal sum to found
a national university at Washington.
These sums were to be spent for high
er education and the promotion of
scientific research.
The institution, said the processor,
will come to America at a very oppor
tune time and will fill a long-felt want.
There Is not another country In the
world where the craving for knowledge
is as great as It is in the United States.
Young men and women are no longer
content with a diploma from the sec
ondary schools; they acquire a hunger
for something better. The great bar
rier to thorough research today is in
the student's Inability to devote his
time to Btudy. After he has received
his doctor's degree he is compelled to
h, which hampers him greatly in
his advancement The eagerness for
knowledge, together with the fact that
m tlnu
FOhis
ROC
universities and colleges are bo numer
ous throughout the country, make the
chances of success for the proposed In
stitution peculiarly favorable.
Dr. Robs thinks that the idea that
the American is too fickle and too
greedy for money to spend his time In
a more thorough study of the sciences
is a mistake. There Is, he said, a largo
number of students In our universities
who wish for nothing better than an
opportunity to carry on their work in
science. And they would ask for noth
ing more than a sufficient income to
give them a comfortable and respecta
ble living. It has been recognized that
science is the highest plane of thought
and the most important field of action.
It Surpasses all of the popular profes
sions. In America, Professor Ross declared.
It may be said that salvation Is regard
ed as dependent on education rather
than on faith. The money that was
spent in monasteries back in the mid
dle ages Is now put into universities
and colleges institutions that elevate
mankind by enlarging the mind and
broadening the vision.
Dr. Ross was asked whether tho fact
that the national university will be
built by prlvato capital Instead of by
public money would have any influence
on Its popularity or not He asserted
that he saw no reason why it should
affect the success or popularity of the
Institution. That doss of people that
sometimes opposes appropriations for
the support of universities, because
they realize no Immediate benefit from
such investments, will have nothing
to do with the Carnegie institution.
The financial support of the university
being secured, there is no doubt as to
its being patronized and appreciated.
Finally, the effect of this university
on the general education of the Amer
ican people, Professor Ross thinks, will
be to intensify tendencies already ex
isting. That is, it will influence com
ing generations to pay more atten
tion to education and advancement and
perhaps less to gain.

are all right in a way, but the way is wrong. The
student studies for years how to parse, analyze, de
cline or conjugate, until he passes all examinations
with high honors. You take that same student to
the country whose language he thought he knew and
let him ask for even a "beefsteak," in idiomatic
French or German, or what it might be. Even the
street Arab, who does not know a thing about gram
mar, etc., will notice his grammar and laugh at him.
WHY?
. Because he has not been taught the foreign accent,
which only a foreigner can teach you. You can have
one in your own room at all times, ready to talk to
you for all day, if you choose, at no extra cost.
Come in and examine our Language Phonographs
which cost so little.
