A GREAT SUCCESS
HIGH SCHOOL FETE DAY DR.AWS
BIG CROWD.
Lincoln Wins First Place In the Inter-
8chola8tlc Debate Fairbury Wins
Track Meet.
The program as arranged for High
School Day yesterday went off with
commendable smoothness and the stu
dents visiting had ample opportunity
to get acquainted with University sur
roundings. After the tour of the various build
ings the visitors gathered In Memorial
Hall-where addresses of welcome were
delivered by the Chancellor, State Su-f
perlntondent McBrlen and Inspector
Reed The point about these exorcises
attracting the attention of University
students most was an attack by Pro
fessor Reed upon the long established
and sacred Institution known as Sneak
Day. It is hard to conceive of such
a ferocious denunciation as coming in
a spirit of real seriousness, but noth
ing about the bearing of the speaker
bespoke aught of levity.
The first contest of the day was the
Interscholastio . debate In 'Memorial
Hall. Tho decision was awarded the
affirmative In the debate on the ques
tion, "Resolved, That high school se
cret societies should be abolished."
The debate, presided over by High
School Inspector Reed,, began at 2 : 20
p. m. Burt, of the Ord high school
.opened tho debate for the affirmative
by 'clearly defining secret societies,
and giving the substance of a report
by a special committee on the high
school fraternity question, which em
phatically denounced such Institutions.
' Dexson, of Blair, admitted that fra
ternities in high schools are not what
they should be, but that faculty regu
lation, not abolition, should bo the
remedy.
Levy, of Lincoln, the next spoaker,
proved especially effective In delivery
and .presented at the same tlmegood
argumentative material, while Wilson,
of Columbus, and Barber of North
Platte, each presented certain original-
points also.
During the' absence of the judges,
who were Professors Caldwell, Costl
gan and Hastings,' short addresses
-were given by State Inspector Reed
ancl Principal Sanders of the Lincoln
high school. ft
' Tho decision of tlio judges was In
favor of the affirmative, and gave tho
speakers the following positions; Lin
coln, first; Blair, second, and North
Platts, third.
Track Meet.
The annual intorscholastic track
meet was a splendid success, nearly
160 athletes beng entered from twenty-three
high schools, Competition"
was very close and tho rivalry beJ
fwebrf the different Yooting factions
voplferous and keen. Fa.irbury high
school won the meet'by a margin of
one-point, 'scoring 23 all told, Pawnee
City came second, with 22, Lincoln,
third with 16. and York fourth with
15. i .-., ,. . '

LAW BOOK 800N
It Will Appear In About Two Weeks
. From Today.
Tho management of the Law Book
states that the preparations of their
publication is progressing rapidly, and
that it will probably appear In two
weeks. The book Is to contain 100
pages, mado up of single half, tones
of tho Law faculty and Seniors and
group plcturos of the Juniors and Fesh
men, write-ups, stories, sketches, car
toons of college life and jokes.
Owing to tho fact that no agree
ment was reached between tho man
agements of the Cornhusker and the
Law Book regarding tho purchaso of
cartoon etchings from tho former by
the latter, certain cartoons will appear
In both annuals. The artists doing tho
original work for the Cornhusker wore
hired by the Laws to produce their
designs a second time. This the Laws
did, they declare, only after offering
to pay for them and protesting against
their use In tho larger publication. To
this Mr. Myers replies that after go
ing to the trouble of originating tho
ideas and paylhg the artists for execut
ing them ho would not lot them go
for tho price of tho etchings only, as
ho understood thq offer did not in
clude payment for tho artists' work.
Evidently a complete understanding
was not reached. It is claimed, how
ever, by the Cornhusker management
that the cartoons have been so nltered
as not to conflict with tho original
ideas.
Tho book will have no advertise
ments and yet it will sell for only
one dollar per copy. A few coplps
will be put on sale when the book
comes out unless all are subscribed
for before that time. Tho publication
is limited to 275 and orders may be
sent In to the manager, H. B. Durham.

THOMAS ORCHE8TRA.
Annual May Festival at Auditorium
May 22-23.
The second annual May Festival will
be given at tho Auditorium by tho
Theodoro Thomas Orchestra, of Chi
cago arid a local chorus May 22 and 23.
The Thomas concerts wero tho best
and most successful musical events
held In Lincoln last year and wore so
much appreciated that tho orchestra
was booked for this city again.
Tho Theodore Thomas Orchestra is
probably the strongest and boBt known
organization of Its kind in this coun
try. It was orgnnizod by Theodoro
Thomas In 18G4, when It began a series
of Symphony Concerts In Irving Hall,
New York City. In 1891 the Orchestra
was brought to Chicago by a number
of public spirited Chlcagolans (who
banded themselves together as the
Orchestral Association) and establish
ed under tho name of tho Chicago Or
chestra a name which was adopted
at tho suggestion of Mr. Thomas, tho
founder pf tho organization. .Concorts
have been given weekly In that city

during tho musical season for the past
sixteen years, and from four to eight
weeks annually have been devoted to
spreading the cause of good muslo
thru concert and festival tours. In
1902 a public subscription was started
for the collection of funds with which
to qrect a Music Hall In Chicago as an
endowment and permanent home for
tho orchestra. There were tfonie 8,500
subscribers to this fund, the subscrip
tions ranging in amounts from ten
cents to twenty-five thousand dollars,
and in December, 1904, the building
known as Orchestra Hall was opened
to tho public, since which time the con
certs of the orchestrahavo been given
there. Two weeks later the musical

NEED OF RECORDS
E E. HOWARD GIVE8 ENTERTAIN
ING TALK TO ENGINEER8.
Records Necessary in Every Business
The Elevation on the Box Car
Use of English.
Mr. E. E. Howard, principal assist
ant with tho firm of Waddoll and Har
rington, bridge engineers of Kansas
City, gave a most Interesting and in
structive talk to tho engineering stu
dontf. yomerday at 11 a. in. in tho
Physics locturo room. His subject was
"Records" and It was most admirably
handled.
Mr. Howard called attention to the
fact that records woro absolutely
necessary to ovory business, and ovon
to tho prlvato life of an Individual.
Ho thought tho first.requlslto for tho
aspiring' engineer, to bo tho ability
to write a hand that is logiblo and
orderly. An application for a position,
for Instance, might bo thrown Into the
waste baskot on account of oarcless
spoiling or illeglblo writing, whon tie
applicant might bo a man vOio was,
othorwlso, deserving. A dirty -shirt
might cover up a clean heart, but tho
chances are against It's covorlng a
clean skin. Wo must have systematic,
and orderly arrangement In business
matters. It Is a good .plan for the
young engineer to commeuce a regular
system of filing, keeping carbon or
lottor file copies of lottbrB written both
In business and In prlvato llfo.
The next thing to begin to practlso
at once is tho habit of making all cal
culations In a permanent book whoro
It will be ready for future referonco
instead of on loose leaves of scratch
paper which soon find a comfortable
resting place in tho waste baskot.
As an example of careless record
keeping, ho mentioned tho story of a
young engineer employed with their
firm who was sent out to establlsn a
bench mark In a railroad yard, from
which all future, surveys for tho yard
woro to bo mado. When ho came In
it was learned that the . elevation he
used for a reference or bench mark
was the top of the platform of a box
car. When reprimanded and remind
ed of tho fact that the car was a mova
ble object and was likely to be re
moved at any time, he gleefully re
plied that he had taken tho precau
tion to -take the number and initial
of the car.
While it Is not necessary for an sn.
glneer to bea literary genius, still he
must bo able to handle English freely
and correctly. Ho will betray him
self ovory time by his use of the Eng
lish language. Personal tidiness was
another of tho requisites insisted on
by Mr. Howard. Tho man who comes
with unkempt hair and in dirty and
sjouchy clothes will have little show
to obtain a position.
Altogether the lecture of Mr. How
ard was one of the most enjoyable and
profitable talks that the engineers
have listened to for some time.' in'
his splendid command of English and
bis fluent delivery he showed the ef
fectsrof his college education and his
careful application in after life.
