GERMAN OR LATIN?
CONTROVERSY IN GERMANY ON
C0UR8E OF 8TUDY.
Women In Debate on Education An
fiwer to Petition That German
; Supercede Latin.
In January 1906 a conference was
held In Berlin to consider tho problems
of woman's education In Germany.
Twenty-two of tho forty-flvo members
wore women. This was tho first time
that women have ever been Invited to
an educational conference In Ger
many. One of the matters considered by
this conference was a compromise be
tween tho two conflicting plans under
which the girls schools havo been con
ducted. According to tho first plan
there wero thirteen classes In tho Mad-
chenschule, with a division into two
branches after the second year. One
branch gave a general education, tho
other prepared for University work.
According to tho second plan a ten
years course was taken by all alike,
and an additional course 'of four years
led to university work.
The convention recommended a so
called Lyzeum course of ton years,
with tin Oberlyzeum of four years. This
upper .course aa to prepare for the
university alonfe several different lines,
and even offered two years of Latin.
This compromise was adopted by both
faoUone, for eaoh of the conflicting
plans had been advocated by one of
tho two organizations which are fur
thering the education of women in
Pru'Blar
This arrangemont was not satisfac
tory' to the schoolmen of Germany, and
a number of teachers signed a peti
tion urging that the Madchouschulo
should have courses especially adapted
to womens' nature and that German
should be tho most Important study..
The petition is answered by Anna
Freund (Bellage zur Allgemeinon Zol
ten, Heft II., 1907). After reviewing
the situation as given above she
pleads. .that the Gorman girl may have
an equal educational training with tho
German boy. Social conditions aro
such that women must "compete with
men. They Bhould be given a fair
chanoe to do so .on an equal basis.
This teUjaposslble unless they aro per
mitted loM take the same training that
men 66. Tho degree from a Ma'dchen
scheule with courses especially adap
ted Jto woman's nature carries no
weight. M German should displace
Latin as a central study why not be
gin with the boys.' schools? Prauleln
Freund protests against the use of
the girls schools as an experiment
station, and in conclusion pleads that
the German woman nmy have a better
education lor ner own sane, mat sue
maylcomo to her best, for tho sake of
thcf ideally,' that' she may be an Intel-j
i. Hgont mother as well as a tender one,
and for the sake of society that she
may help In working out" the soplal
problems that confront the world to

THIRTY-FIVE MEN OUT.
Track Candidates Gather to Hear Lec
ture on Training.
Pursuant to a call, issued last wook,
thlrty-flvo track men appeared in the
Armory yesterday morning to llston
to a talk by Dr. Clapp on tho present
outlook In tho realm of track and
field work and on tho matter of train
ing. Dr. Clapp emphasized tho fact that
tho Ames moot at Ames, Iowa Is now
only two weeks and a half away, that
this school last year had ono of tho
very best track toams. In tho West,
ranking well up alongside of Michigan
and Chicago, and that as a result Ne
braska was In all probablity to havo
her hardest meet at tho first of tho
schedule It Is thought that tho toam
at Ames will bo fully as good, If not
better, than tho aggregation turned
oub from there last year. Track work
there receives even greater support
than football; men train all winter
long, and as a result are capable of
giving rather sharp competition.
A fow words were glvon to training
and all aro urgod to put in conscien
tious work from now on. It Is tho gen
eral feeling that Nebraska can make
a good showing if the men respond.
Tho preliminaries have been post
poned to Friday, April 26.
