The German School System.
Professor Fossler of the German de
partment compared the German and
American school systems at convoca
tion yesterday. The fundamental dis
tinction, he said, is that German
schools and universities are provided
for by law. Even the examinations are
held according to law.
The entire system Is under the super
vision of a minister of education, who
presides over a board of about twenty
men, who In turn have charge of a sub
ordinate board. The same officials have
charge of the department of medicine,
ecclesiastics, and education.
Tho subordinate boards consist of
from three to five men, whose duty it
is to superintend school work more
closely than their superiors. In addi
tion to these boards each town has a
board which attends to financial mat
ters. It is Been that the people have
nothing to do with the school system,
tho arrangement of courses even being
entirely In charge of the board. A uni
formity Is thus secured which would
be Impossible with any other syHtem.
It requires nine years for a student
to complete a course in one of the pre
paratory schools after which he may
enter u college or university. Profes
sor Fossler said there was no doubt
that a student who had studied a sub
ject for nine years would know some
thing about it.
Professor Fossler will later distills
the higher Institutions of I earn in v.
It has been more or less interesting
during the present (losing football sea
son to watch the attitudes taken by
gridiron critics on the strongest papers
.n the country They seem to change
liieir minds every so often as to what
shall be the final outcome of the sought
for championship. The Minneapolis
papers have been drawing the ire of
tho students of Minnesota, the latter
charging tho critics with Inconsist
ency. The Chicago papers are watched by
Nebraska people with more concern
than others. They have been the most
tardy in recognizing Nebraska athletics
and in c,ase they do, it Is only grudg
ingly. Other western papers have been
more willing to give Nebraska the
place she now claims, that of the hold
er of football honors west of the Mis
sissippi. The Chicago papers for some reason
have tried to wholly ignore Nebraska
football, being entirely engrossed with
its more neighboring Institutions They
forget that something good can come
out of the region of the plains. It Is
amusing, for those who do not see a
gnme to sit In their offices comfortably
and by scanning some jumbled reports
state the comparative strength of op
posing teams, as in the case of Knox.
Nothing short, of course, than Ne
braska advancing Into the enemies ter
ritory and putting them all to rout
will hrlng some people to their senses.
The papers forget that Nebraska sent
a guard to Chicago this year who was
accepted without question as a man
worthy of the Chicago team. The pa
pers following the Thanksgiving games
and tho Chicago conference will be
carefully read and digested this year
as to football reports and news.

Another Challenge.
A ihallenge for debate was received
yesterday from Highland Park College,
of Des Moines, la. In tho letter the
secretary of the college debating asso
ciation expressed the desire of that in
stitution to enter into contests with
a larger number of colleges and uni
versities which have gained a reputa
tion of being Btrong in debate.
Secretary Meier of the university de
bating association refused to accept
the challenge, because Nebraska al
ready has either arranged or has under
contemplation work that will keep the
debating squads busy for the present
year.
Mr. Meier reports that correspond
ence is progressing rapidly and the
board hopes to have all questions for
inter-state debate settled early in December.

In the newest corsets the steels are moulded
by hand and closely follow the lines of the
natural figure. A new gown should be fitted
over a perfect corset and cannot be expected
to fit as well if the coaset is purchased after
the dress is made.
It will pay you to visit our corset depart
ment on the second floor and see those new
styles.
