INJUDICIOUS WORDS.
Thut tho roferoo of a groat football
game should rejoice at tho victory of
ono of tho contestants may not bo en
tirely strange. It Is hard In thoso
days of close rivalry for an ofllclal to
bo found who Is wholly without sym
pathy for one sldo or the other.
But, while sympathy with tho niem
bors of ono toam may be pardoned,
tho public can hardly condone aB oas
lly such statements as those attrib
uted to Referee Poe of tho Kansas-
BUDD
$2.50 HATS -$2.50 and $3.50 SHOES
and Popular Priced Furnishings. WHY PAY MORE?
Nebraska game. Even If Poo felt aB
he says ho did, ho should havo kept
his mouth shut. As an ofllclal of the
contest which decided the Missouri
Valloy championship ho should havo
maintained In public at least an atti
tude of Impartiality. Hi's bwn integ
rity as an ofllclal depended upon his
discreet sllcnco.
Tho worst that can be said or Poe
is that ho showed an unseommg lack
of tho first principles of good sense.
He has not only acted In a manner
unbecoming an ofllclal, but ho haB laid
himself open to the charge of being
a fool. Incldentolly, It is ventured as
'a good guess that neither Mr. Poe
nor Mr. Rollly will soon officiate at a
contest in which Nebraska takes part.
THE ART EXHIBIT.
The annual art exhibit of tho Ne
braska Art Association is being hold
in tho art gallory of tho library. It
opened early last week and will con
tinue until December 1.
This exhibition is something which
no Btudent of Nebraska who desires
anything which may reasonably ho
classed as a well-rounded culturo
should misB. Tho knowledge gained
from text-books is valuable In particu
lar ljnes; tho learning to bo had from
literature and from art is valuable in
all lines. Literature and art portray
the real life of tho peoples of tho
earth. Thoy dwell not with their
achievements as Industrial inventors,
as commercial manipulators, nor as
engineering genjuses, judged from the
material results. They go deeper than
these things. They tell of the reali
ties of H(e of tho toil and the hard
ship, of the happiness and comfort.
They deal with the Inner natures of
men of tho things which underlie all
t,he, pjitwaxd manifestations.
With iTan understanding of what
these'Uhlngs' mean and of what they
seeK,'Vtf'ilhJbrrot, the student of hu-
nnUk wn,r$ but fleo tneIr value to
himself;,- The achievement of men are
constantly varying, hut the motives,
desires and feelings- the things which

art portrays nro constant. A knowl
edgo of thorn will always bo valuable,
no matter how other things may shift
up or down.
Nor Is the Nebraska exhibition a
mean one. Somo of tho works on tho
gallery walls arc among the finest to
be had in this countryt Tho Lincoln
exhibit Is noted as one of tho best
held 1)1 tho west, rind students should
real lo the opportunity which Is at
their hand.
DROP THE LATIN.
, Tho management committee or the
public schoqls of Chicago has reconi
nienttoTrhat the teaching of Latin
nnd algebra bo stopped In the ele
mentary schools and tho school board
has adopted resolutions to that effect.
The school trustees take the position
that a study of those branches should
bo left to the colleges, tho function of
the common scIiooIb being of a more
practical nature. The Chicago press
haB been practically un' nous In Its
commendation of the change.
"Every thinking person," says the
Inter-Ocean, "concerned that the
schooling that most children get shall
bo such as to Ht them for useful liv
ing and sound citizenship, will ap
plaud this decision.
"Studies that belong in the high
school or colleges have been crowded
1415
down Into the elementary schools, on
tho assumption that they are neces
sary and that tho state owes It to the
child whoso schooling ends there that
some Idea of these subjects be given.
Both assumptions are Incorrect. Ono
Is an error of fact, the other a delu
sion of sentimentality.
"There is no special need to pity
the boy who stops with grammar
schooling. In seven cases out of ten
at least ho follows his own choice.
He wants to get out Into life and be
a man among men. At least half the
boys who go beyond tho grammar
grades do so for business reasons.
Their eyes are on some pursuit for
Which moro formal schooling technl,
cal training of somo kind is required.
The student under 20 for puro lovo of
knowledge Is a rare bird Indeed. That
Is a bent normally developed later in
life.
"Latin is a useful mental discipline
and basic study to those who wish to
acquire foreign languages. But Amer
icans have less uso for foreign lan
guages than any other people. This
Is not a small country with near neigh
bors of alien speech. Educational pre
cedents drawn from such countries
do not fit. As for the higher mathe
matics, their chief utility is to supply
short cuts.
"Such studies should bo removed
from tho common schools, but not that
their pupils may 'study something else
of more use to them afterwards.' They
should be removed that thore may be
time and thoroughness In studies re
ally essential."
At Missouri there is considerable
of heated discussion concerning tho
suspension by Wabash officials of "tho
students conductor." Tho cause of
the action was a wreck which tho
conductor caused by neglecting his
duty, in order to help an old woman"
to board the train.
The men of Yale gave last year
nearly $14,000 for tho support of thd
Yale Mission College in China.

SOPH8 RAI8E 80ME TROUBLE.
Members of the Second Year Class
Raid Freshman Meeting.
.Members of tho sophomore class
met last evening in U10G and dis
cussed tho coming Olympic meet with
the freshmen. Only a few of tho
sophomores wore present, and they
decided that thoy would wear class
colors for tho rest of tho coming week
and then show tholr superiority to the
first year men by defeating them next
Saturday.
After the meeting had been ad
journed somo of the members who at
tended marched over to the Temple,
where the members of the freshman
class were nssombled, anod forced an
entrance to the meeting, attempting
to break up the gathering of the first
year men. A small riot startod, and
the sophomores, seeing that thoy were
outnumbered, beat a hasty retreat,
swearing that thoy would have their
vengeance next Saturday when they
met the first year men on Nebrnska
Held.
A rabbit infected with a dangerous
disease was stolen several weeks ago
from the medical building at Missouri.
It has not been found, and thore is
some concern about the spread of the
malady.
