Editorial Remarks
Somo comment was aroused a year
or ho ago by a rumor that tho chan
cellor had made more or less formal
request of the Senior class-book com
mittee that faculty Jokes be practically
omitted from their publication. No
such requirement was actually made,
so far as we can ascertain, and the
book appeared with tho usual num
ber of faculty cartoons and "roasts."
That "there are others," however, not
so fortunate, Is evident from an item
wo insert elsewhere from the columns
of tho Minnesota Dally. Raculty su
pervision of a student publication is
a dangerous thing anywhere. Public
opinion 1b nbout ns safe und sound
In a school as elsewhere, and anything
the body of the students themselves
will stand for seldom has any real
Injury in it. The Nebraskan hopes
that the Gophers may be permitted to
roast the faculty unmolested, after the
laws and customs of their fellow-editors
of the Cornhuskers.
good Instructors at a greater rate than
that of tho country to absorb them.
Consequently a man feared to ask a
respectable salary, lest some one olse
get the position at tho old rate. Tho
other response was that any one who
could get a larger salary in some other
business belonged In that other busi
ness; it was tho one nature Intended
him for. Is either one of theso an
swers an accurato one, or is there a
measure of truth In both? Certain it
it that University graduates are facing
a rathor peculiar situation: a claim on
the part of certain districts that good
teachers are hard to get; and the less
agreeable fact that they can't get sal
aries equal to the reward like ability
receives In other work. The Nebras
nan would bo glad to have either stu
dents or faculty members express their
opinions as to whether the teaching
profession pays, and if not, why?

The resignation of Superintendent
Gordon of the city schools raises anew
the question which has been occurring
to a good many members of the teach
ing profession the last two or three
years Does teaching pay? Why is it
that a man who can make an Income
of $2,500 a year In business life has
hard work procuring a salary of $1,500
in the teaching profession? We have
heard two answers made to this query,
neither, however, having reference to
nny particular caso. The first was
that there wore too many teachers;
that our schools were turning out
The Yale News celebrates the twenty
fifth anniversary of its founding by
the reproduction In facsimile of its
diminutive first number, and takes ad
vantage of the opportunity to voice
this lament, common to college papers
all over the land:
"The two most serious problems
which face News editors of today are
those, naturally enough, for which it
is most difficult to find remedies. The
first is the difficulty of covering all the
newH thoroughly and well without hav
ing men trained up to and following
the reporting from one year to another.
The second great difficulty is in
maintaining the continuity of the
paper from day to day. Under the
present system a different editor
makes up the paper each night In the
week. This causes lack of consecutlve
ness and a great deal of unnecessary
repetition in the articles. Here, too,
the remedy is hard to find owing to the
comparatively limited amount of time
which tho mon can devote to the paper.
In about two weeks a new board of edi
tors will take control of the News and
they can materially improve its qual
ity by solving these two problems."

Yesterday's Exercises:
Mr. O. J. Fee, University superin
tendent of grounds and buildings, oc
cupied convocation hour yesterday
morning with a very Interesting dis
cussion of tho process of building a
railroad. Ho states that new rail
roads generally owe their origin to
the desire of some land owner In a
newly-opened country to Increase the
value of his properties. If ho succeeds
in making the railroad company be
lieve that it will prove a profitable In
vestment, tho company sends out one
or more preliminary surveying par
ties, who run Burveys along different
promising routes, and Bend their notes
and maps to the office of the chief
engineer of the road, who constructs
from it a "paper" trial route. A locat
ing party Is then sent to survey the
route over the "paper" route, probably
meeting with many difficulties becatise
of the chief clerk's combination of two
or more of the preliminary surveys.
While they are thus engaged the com
pany is raising money for the new
route by the issue and sale of bonds,
generally at a discount. Material is
meanwhile being gathered from the
two extremes of the continent, and the
work of actual construction begun.
The grading Is let in portions of one
to ten miles, according to the diffi
culties to be encountered, all of the
stretches being in process of grading
at the same time. Grading gangs are
followed by the construction train with
Its tracklaying equipment, and this by
the spacers, spikers, temporary align
ers, ballasters and final aligners. Side
tracks are Introduced every seven or
ten miles, and the railroad Is ready
for traffic and development.
Professor Fogg has been asked to
judge the Doane-Creighton dobate
which will be held at Crete February
13th. The question for discussion is
compulsory arbitration. It Is very
probable that Mr. Fogg will accept the
invitation.
