Editorial Remarks
The Use of Charts.
Criticism hns been mndo of the em
ployment of c harts, by Nebraska dur
ing Iho recent debate with Kansas.
Wlillo this criticism In more In the
lorm of mere expressions of opinion,
yrt It may he expedient to point out
(lie general utility of these charts and
the usrs that they have been put to
upon arious p( i nslons nnd nt arlous
places as an aid to presenting argu
imnt. The ptatement has ben made that
charts would be out of place In a law
ourt, yet we understand that any le
gitimate form of evldome may therein
lie lntioduced. For example instances
aie it fd where an Intricate machine
hns Ikou taken into court and used In
clcmonMtatlng and m:Jlng clear cer
tnln points. Why then could not a
chart sere a similar purpose? A chart
Mich as was used Friday night may
contain facts and figures and perhaps
drawings to make certain points stand
out c lenr, that otherwise could not he
readily crasned or even perceived if
these were to be presented by verbal
explanation, no matter how emphatic
or how much in earnest the speaker
might be. They are not Intended to
decehf, but to elucidate, as the facts
and figures stand out boldly, chal
lenging criticism or refutation, and
squarely stating argument. Wiry, then,
is not such evidence valuable?
fo much for the law court as a spe
cific Instance of comparison. Uut It
must be reemmbered that a debate and
a trial In a law court are not a part
of the same system, although the one
iiinv bo used In connection with the
i
other. Concretely, there Is no analogy
of conditions In a public debate and In
a law court, and the rules that might
apply in the one might not obtain in
jhe other. Henco we have reason to
believe that charts'would not be nec
essarily uebarred out of use as evi
dence In a court of law, and that even
if such wero the case It does not fol
low that they should be barred out
of debate, because there are no in
clusive rules of relationship or condi
tions governing the two.
A chart may he used as an aid' to ex
plain argument in public speaking, un
der which head debate as a general
thing properly comes. Instances are
common In which charts have been
used In both houses of congress, in
the same manner in which they have
been used .by our debaters. For exam
ine the late Senator Hanna used
charts In his speech on "Ship Subsi
dies." This, is but one instance among
several that have been mentioned to
us, but this will suffice to bring ont
the truth of the contention.
And now concerning the utility of
these charts. By employing them a
debater Is able to make his facts and
figures stand out much more conclu
sively, and thus gives tiro audience
and his opponents a olear understand
ing of his argument in a concentrated
form, so that it can be readily grasped,
vlthout a tiresome and laborious
mental effort, and a punishment of the
mental facilities In an attempt to fol
low. This use of charts Is fair to the
opposition, because they are thus given
the argument In a nutshell, and If
thev have the means they ate better
able to smash the argument thus pre
sented by pointing out a fallacy which
would In consequence stand out In a
glaring and accusing manner. Charts
. . . a
are in tact used in various lorms o'
public debate, and we do not believe
...an any objection to them is able to
stand, when eompletedly analyzed.

The Senior Book Is now ready for
sale. In our opinion the book makts
a very creditable showing and is prop
erly representative of the c lats and
the University In general. The work
of getting out such a book is no light
task, and the editors are often obliged
to depend materially upon others. But
In spite of all this, the book Is out in
good time this year, and we predict for
It a ready sale.

University exhibits are entitled to their
share of the general credit. Our in
.stititIon is much better represented
than at any preious exposition It is
well that wc have this oppoi tunity to
show something typical and chai ar
te ristic of the educational system in
this state, from the highest down to
the lowest part. And whoever of us
may find opportunlt to isit the fall
must not neglect to keep track of our
own exhibits and compare them with
i lose of other institutions.
