Whether tlie NehrnKkn trio wins or
Iohoh In Uh contest against Colorado
Friday night the value to be derived
from the work by the Individual men
will be the same. The value of the
debate to the university will, however,
depend on the outcome. It Ih, there
fore, a university affair and should be
mippoited as such.
Much might be repeated that lias al
ready been said on the subject of pre
serving the neatneBH of the campus.
Much that Is entirely new might be
added to what has already been said.
It Is sufllcient here, however, to re
mind the student body that a mass
meeting In the interests of neatness
on the campus will be held tomorrow.
The Nebraskan devotes considerable
space today to the coming Interstate
debate, which Is to take place with
Colorado next Friday night. It does
this because it believes that college
debating is a good thing and ought to
be pushed by all classes of students,
.lust us In athletics and all other forms
of college activity, there should be no
division In the ranks of its supporters.
The men who will meet the Colorado
team on the field of intellectual con
test are just as much representatives
of the university as the football or
baseball teams are. They surely de
serve as strong support.
Students or every class and organiza
tion should rally to the support of the
debaters this morning at convocation
and Friday night the debate.
Or. Clements iu at present reading
proof on an article on "Phyteography,"
which will appear soon in Engler's
Botanlsche Jahrbuecher, to be pub
lished in Berlin. The article was read
before the Botanical Society of Amer
ica in Denver last August.
The books In the department of bot
any are being rearranged by Miss Bon
nell. It Is hoped that sufllcient space
may be secured to permit the books to
be catalogued and arranged In accord
ance with approved library systems.

MY FATR IN CI1AIM5L
The other morning I decided thnt
fate did not Intend that I should hear
what the speaker in chapel was saying
For eight days I had attended the con
vocation exercises and only twice had
I been able to hear the person on the
platform Kvery time I was disturbed
by people behind me talking. On the
third I was careful to take a seat at
quite a distance from the people who
had talked behind me the day before
Otheis came in and sat behind me and
as soon as the speaker commenced
they, too, commenced to jabber.
This luck seemed to follow me. and
in nearly every case the people who
did the talking came In after I did and
sat somewhere close behind me
But this particular morning really
"capped the climax " I took a seat
with no one directly back of me. But
about four seats away in the first row
back were two girls I knew very well.
. had always thought that they were
vvellbied. Professor Nicholson talked
on the mining laws, and I went to
hear him because I was interested and
expected to hear something worth
while. As he did not stand on the
platform, I had difficulty in seeing him,
but with close attention I heard his
first two sentences quite clearly and
distinctly. As for the rest of the talk
I heard nothing. One of the gills said
in a stage whisper, "I can't see him at
all. Why doebn't lie get on the plat
form?" The ice was broken, and such
a visit as they had! I heard all about
the letters from home; what auntie
was doing, all the latest news about
Mr. , and a great deal more. The
more talkative of the two girls could
not whisper without a great deal of
hissing and "ss"ing.
If two people or a crowd of girls
want to talk, let them stay out and do
It; il they can't hear, let them keep
still and permit others to hear if they
can. This thing has been talked about
and preached about, but it is one of the
greatest faults of our people. PersonB
whom we ordinarily consider wellbred
and nice will do this and think noth
ing of it.
It does not always happen that I am
disturbed so much. But this occurred
so many times I have decided to stay
away for a few days and see if fate will
change her whim. When I go back I
can judge whether It is the ignorance
and poor breeding among all the girls
or whether I alone have been the pes
tered one. I do hope it has been the
latter and that then the spell will be
broken.
It. K. Beattle, '9G, now an instructor
in botany in the Washington Agricul
tural college, has just issued a bulletin
discussing and recommending the use
of formalin for the prevention of smut
in wheat. When in the university Mr.
Beattie was known as one otithe most
active and enthusiastic of bjQlanists.

Better Than a
Personal Instructor.
In learning a language usually the teacher gives les
sons of an hour duration. Assuming this to be daily
the student hears the language spoken say . an
hour each day, the rest of the hour being taken up with
the student's answers and questions he wishes to ask.
1 he results are most unsatisfactory. Experience shows
that a person alter taking 60 to 80 lessons in this manner
ii, unable to converse fluently or to use the language to
any great advantage. Hx)w do we better the condition
you say?
OUR STUDENT LEARNS BY IMITATION.
He listens to the Phonograph as often as he likes,
when and where he likes. By frequently listening to a
record even without making an effort to learn the langu
age he soon begins to repeat
