It Is Interesting to noto that whllo many' of tho host unlvorBltlos In tho country nro rniBlng their standard, of entrancp roquiroment that tho Instruc tors a, Nebraska aro not blind to tho .n.ocQflfllty , of an academic training for .a high .quality of work in tho special .coljcgps, and aro making creator do mands for tho preliminary training of tho students. For several yoars tho requirements for admission to -many of- Nebraska's sister stato Insti tutions have boon moro exacting than those at Nobraska and a higher value has been placed on tho educa tion of tho graduates from thoso Hchools. It is an undonfablo fact that two or throo years' academic training bottor fits a Btudent to lncreaso tho quality of his special work, whether that bo law or medicine. Dean Georgo P. CoBtlgan of the Ne braska law college has scon tho no coslsty of raising tho admission re quirements to tho law department of this unlvorslty If Its placo among tho law Bchools of tho country Is to bol maintained.

His report reads in part as follows: "It is belioved that tho time has come for raising still further the ontranco requirements of tho college of law. Our feollng, constantly bolng strengthened, has boon that tho qual ity of our work can be lncreasod only by roqulrlng a bottor preliminary edu cation on tho part of our studonts, somo of 'whom each year of tholr own accord loavo us to tako college work before completing tholr law course. Tho requirements for admission to tho collego of law now call for the four years' high school course, but In my judgment thoy should bo increased to ono year of oollego work to take offect two or three years in tho future. That thiB rccommondatlon is in lino with tho development of other law schools Is apparent from tho fact that Illinois, Minnesota, Texas and Washington stato universities have taken action, to go Into effect in 1909 or 1910, which will require tho equivalent of ono yoar In collego for tholr law degree. Tho faculty of tho University of Michigan has also unanimously recommended such action. It 1b now before tho board of regents for consideration.

I ADDRESS Of DR. C. E. BESSEY Head of Nebraska .Botanical Depart ment Delivered One of the. Prin cipal Addresses Before the Plant 8ectlon. Tho American Association for tho Advancement of Science met Decom bor 8, 1908, to January 4, 1908, in Bal timore Md professors of tho Univer sity of Nobraska wore In attendance at the sessions of tho association and ono of tho principal addresses made l)oforo the botanical soction was that of Di Charles E. Bessoy as retiring president of that division of tho po cloty. . Probably 2000 of tho 6,000 members of tho assoclatloiNwere prosent at tho meeting in Baltimore, Tho leading mombors of nil sclontlfia professions attended and tholr presencbsalded in making tho sessions notabloNThls year mariteu tno sixtieth anniversary ui iuu iiiak illuming ui mu uuuiuiy which has over Bince its organization been a potent factor in the scientific progress of tho country. In addressing the botanists, Dr. Bossoy took a radical stand on certain points of question in regard to tho proper classification of plantB. His address was considered to bo most striking from a scientific point of view nnd was of interest to all of tho 150 botanists In attendance. Dr. Besaey'a Address. Speaking on tho topic, "The Phylotlc Idea In Taxonomy," Dr. Bossoy argued that since nil botanists aro evolution iBts thoy should recognize this prin ciple In tholr classification of plants. No botnniBt now considers a species to be a separate or special creation, but gather a more or less distinguish able variation from somo other form. With a practical agreement among botanlBts it needs no extended argu ment to show that a natural classifi cation must bo aa expression of a theory of evolution. Several theories as to tho relationship and classifica tion of plants were criticized for their failure to -take practical cognizance of tho doctrines of evolution. It waB further urged that no theory of classi fication should stand in its entirety after tho theory of evolution upon which It is based has experienced any modification. The two must be changed simultaneously, for they aro partB of a common systom. Fifteen Principles. Tho principal features of tho theory of evolution so foas they bear upon taxonomy wore enumerated In fifteen "dlcta,' somo of which are as follows: Lowor plants came into existence first; higher plants sprang from the lower; higher plants nro mora com plex than tho lower; o volution is not always upward, but ofteninvolves deg radation nnd degeneration; retrogres sion once set in usually persists, and 1b not followed by a progression; all llant relationships are genetic; plants are related up and down the genetic lines, etc. After brlofly describing the, gjjat groups (phyla) into which plants may bo classified, beginning with the sim plest sllmo-algao and ending with the flowering plants, Dr. Bessey discussed the origin of tho latter from the cyc ads.and held that buttercups, roses and similar plants must havo been tho earliest types, contrary to the prevail ing view that tho apetalous families aro primitive. From tho buttercup type there sprang throe diverging lines, ono running through lilies and Irises' nnd culminating In tho orchids, unomor running through pinks, prim roses and phloxes and. culminating .In BlV " Cellege 1 K I Standard BBBBsrBsrF TsT SOLD IN E.

The Majestic. Manager Gorman of tho Majestic suroly picked a bunch of stellar attrac tions when ho selected this week's bill for tho Majestic. He has secured, without doubt, the best lino of acts that has been presented at tho vaude ville house this season. All of the program made a hit with tho first nighters at tho performance last even ing nnd the actors were tho recipients of more applause than any perform ers havo received at tho. Majestic for many a week. Georgo Hillman and his eight Red path Napanees, were listed as tho headliners, but thoy wero compelled to share first honors with Mr. and Mrs. McGreevey, musical entertainers, Tho Redpath actors presented an ox tromenly funny act called "Fun in a School Room." It was funny, too. The act was made very pleasing by the presence of a pretty girl in the .chorus, who made a hit with tho audience. An automobile stunt by Lavlno and Leonard mado the Lincoln owners of autos who wore present last night hold their sides with laughter. It is a vehicle that Is an extraordinary en tertainer. Other good numbers on tho bill are Homer Lind and company, in "Tho Opera Singer;" Fritz Houston, car toonist; Tho Great Kinker, contortion ist; and Julian nnd Ryer, "In Stunts and Bumbs." The Lyric. "Dolly Primrose" is the offering at the Lyric. It Is aB popular as the play of last week.
