The Chicago Team to Be Chosen This
Evening.
The second gymnastic contest of the
year will take place this evening at
8:15 .In the Gymnasium. This contest
Is not to be confounded with the big
athletic exhibition to bo given next
Saturday night. However, certain
"stunts" by the gymnastic team to bo
chosen tonight will be one of the lead
ing features. on the program for that
exhibition.
The scores from the first contest are l
as follows: Johnson, 241; Klessel
bach, 222; Patterson, 221; Carson,
209.5; Mitchell, 209.5; Dawson, 199.

test will be: (1) Side of German
Horse, (2) Flying Ring, (3) Tumbling.
The man making the largest num
ber of points In this contest and the
first one held last month Is awarded
an "N."
The money cleared from the exhibi
tion will bo used to send the gymnas
tic team to Chicago for the big con
test to be held there In April. Johnson
and Copeland, two years ago, succeed
ed In landing second place for Nebras
ka. The team this year Is exceptional
ly strong, especially with the presence
of Johnson, who Is probably a fifty
per cent better gymnast than he was
two years ago. With such good pros
pects for winning the Chicago contest,
there ought to be a great crowd out
Saturday night, not only to support
the team but to see the largest exhibi
tion ever given at Nebraska.

DRIVING CLOCK.
Being Designed by Astronomy Depart
Ment for Big Telescope.
Professor Swezey Is working out the
the designs for the driving clock of
the new telescope. While modeling It
after that of the Washburn telescope,
It has seemed best to modify It some
what since it appears from correspon
dence with several observatories that
even the best driving clocks occasion
ally give trouble, especially during
cold weather, from not running uni
formly enough. Accordingly our clock
will be built somewhat larger and
more powerful than is usual for a
twelve-inch telescope. It may seem
best also to design an electrical con
trol by which the driving clock of the
telescope may be connected with and
controlled by the standard clock of
the observatory so as to insure more
uniform rates.
Professor Swezey, formerly of Lick
Observatory, and Professor RItchey of
the new Solar Observatory of-soufhern
California, both of whom have had ex
perience in designing driving clocks
for some of the larger Instruments of
those observatories.

TEACHINGJDEALS
ATTACK MADE UPON PRESENT
DAY EDUCATOR8.
E. H. Carpenter 8ays They Are Spe
cialists, Not Teachers; That They
Think Only of Third "Ism."
Twenty-five years ago Mark Hop
kins, Thomas Arnold, Louis AgasBiz,
James McCosh woro promlnont not
only ns teachers, but as men of in
fluence and powor. They are remem
bered by their students not simply for
what they taught, but for what they
wore. Have wo their like today? Al
len Harmon Carpenter, writing in tho
Bookman, Inclines to tho opinion that
we have not. Somo ono has said that
a college might bo mado out of a log,
with a student on ono end and Mark
Hopkins on tho other. That is, tho
power of Mark Hopkins lay not in
specialized training nor elaborate
equipment, but in a sympathetic and
Inspiring personality brought into
close touch with tho Btudont. That
vital and Inspiring relationship be
tween instructor and student Ib what
wo most lack today. "Specialization
is the demand of the hour," and thoro
is an increasing tendonoy in tho uni
versities of the country to employ men
who, because of purely professional
standing, or tho importance of their
research work, may reflect renown up
on the Institution. It sometimes hap
pens that such men are not glftod as
teachers, and can neither arouse the
Interest nor command the respect of
their students. More often tho pro
fessor is so deeply engrossed In re
search work along -his special line that
he has no thought for the student out
side of the class-room.
"Can wo say that there Is no larger
need of character building upon the
part of our professors?" "If one would
upbuild character he must have sym
pathy," he must be interested In some
thing besides his individual "Ism."
The teacher of tho future, If he would
stand in the same Class with the great
teachers of the past, must have not
only the minute and specialized knowl
edge which the needs of the present
demand, but '"a sympathy which is
deep enough to comprehend the diffi
culties of the dull Btudent
culture pure enough to enrich tho life
of the collegian and a char
acter noble and strong enough, to In
spire lofty ambitions."
Freshmen Won.
The notice in the Dally Nebraskan
yesterday to tho effect that the Fresh
man basket-ball team lost a game to
the Y. M. C. A. Meteors Saturday night
was a little erroneous. No game took
place between the teams Saturday.
The contest was played Wednesday
night, however, and was won by the
Freshmen by the score of -38 to 32.
Easter Program.
An Easter program is being pre
pared by the University Choral- So
ciety for the Convocation period next
Tuesday. There will be a variety of
music lncludlng-cornet solos. Profes
sor Charles Miller will be one of those
to take part.
