MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1914 t The glories of debate are np less renowned than those of football. The debate booklet published by the Ne braska chapter of Delta Sigma Nu is a history of remarkable achievements. To be listed as a participant and win- ner in contests of that character is an "honor worth seeking; A SOCIAL PROBLEM. Social problems are intricate and complex. Sometimes what apparently is a social good when looked at from a different viewpoint is seen to contain elements of injustice. At first sight what could appear to . be more good than that individuals and organizations should use every possible means to obtain work for students? Yet the labor unions ques tion this. Frank M.

XT erauoa ui j-uuui uuu tjuuur uj. lUB Ne braska Federationist, says in the Sep tember number of that magazine: "And still there is another phase to this annual question of provision for students. There are heads of families ' in Lincoln who have the responsibility of keeping the flour barrel filled and the house rent paid, with a few odd pennies for other necessities. Each fall these heads of families have the cold shivers run up their back when they are called upon to give up their jobs to some one who will perform the work for 'board and room.' "What is to become of these beads of families during the school year? If they seek ' employment elsewhere, others will be induced to come in by those desiring help while the student it home during the summer vacation. And then they are bumped when school year opens again." Mr. Coffey is not an agitator and has a reputation for fair-mindedness. What he says is worth investigating, for surely we as students do not want to be put in the position of organizing to compete unfairly against men with families. THE CHURCH OF THE FUTURE.

Under the caption "Debates' is a The most conspicuous difference, however, between the new system and the old lack of one is a difference in method of instruction. Before the 'Sys tem,' there was no method of instruc tion, and therefore no instruction, ex .lJUf UUU WAVA V -W V V MwvawM, cept for the necessarily insufficient as- sistance gained ' from independent coaching.. In 1901, however, there oc curred a radical change, both in meth ods and in their application. The ob ject of the new training was not to win debates, was not even shaped to ward the primary end of an appear ance on the platform. Its primary ob ject was mastery of subject and thor ough training in the methods of scien tific research necessary to produce that mastery. The instrument for ap plying this method was and is the In tercollegiate Debate Seminary, or Squad,' to which some sixteen men are elected. When Inaugurated by Professor Fogg, the 'squad system' was a new departure west of the Missis sippi, but since then its adoption has been general throughout he West "A chief merit of the 'squad system' is that it enables the instructor to train sixteen men instead of the mere half-dozen who make up the teams and who ordinarily are the sole beneficiar ies of Intercollegiate Debate. Under the Nebraska system the teams are se lected from the 'Squad' some five or six weeks before the contests. This feature has the additional merit of training men who are in the true sense of the word debaters and of eliminat ing that semi-professionalism which comes from selecting teams several months before the debates, as is the practice just now with one or two of Nebraska's foremost rivalc in debating. "Upon the method here outlined hag been built the work of the Squad Room' during the last thirteen years a work remarkable not only from the point of view of debaters, but also for its intimate connection with the cor responding period of University his tory. Upon the twenty-six intercbl legiate contests of these thirteen year's it is 'impossible to do more than com ment briefly. That the '3ys tem' is still-effective against our newer rivals is amply evidenced by our six Victories qut of eight contests Jn tie iftRt.fnllr voara Continued on page 7 RjOff BABIES WEIGH 14 TON . . Fat Family of Youngstprs'ln Brooklyn Hi Rwdrd In Weight; Parents Are Thin, : New York. Four babIe-toUl weight, SOS pounds; combined ages, eleven years wandered starving Into the Adams street police station, Brooklyn, recently. They were chap eroned by their parents, tall, thin, sad-looking persons. The mother car ried an enormous bundle in her arms, which later proved to e a mite of a child, six months old and. weighing only 63 pounds. . The other three youngsters followed o five-year-old child, tipping, the beam at 187 pounds; a three and one-half-year-old toddler of 17B pounds, and a mere babo of two years, weigh ing 82 pounds. Sergeant McCorriflch nearty foil off his chair. The tall, tired man announced that he was Marshall Tanner. "This is my wife, Mary," he said, adding with a sweep of -his arm, "and thin is the fat family." The woman wearily shifted the bundle In her arms and sought to have the sergeant test its weight, but he dodged skillfully. She uncovered the baby, saying Its name was Doris and that, although she only weighed 63 pounds now, she had every reason to believe their daughter would grow up to be a healthy woman. "Food! food!" oxclaimod the man. "We are hungry. We were with a circus in Chicopee, Mass., and were known as 'The Fat Family,' but the circus went broke and owed ub $100. We had JuBt enough money to get to New York and" we came. Hero tvo aro, now. We have no engagement, no money, no food, and no place to sleep. Not having food is a serious matter. The children are fond of eat ing." The police sent the tall, thin mac and woman and the four very fat youngsters to 44 Lawrence street for the night CURRENT ON BALKY HORSE Recorder Dismisses Cruelty Charge as He 8ees Battery Work" In ' Court Room. Philadelphia. For using a small electrlo battery to accelerate a balky horse, Walter ienhart of 2301 South .Sixty-seventh street, Philadelphia, and Walter Lenhart, seventeen years bid, of Merchantville, were arraigned in the Camden police court on a charge of cruelty to animals. Eli "Vanmeter of 1613 William street, Philadelphia, testified that he saw the hprse balk in the "Vicinity of Front and Vine streets. A gentle tap of the whip or urging with the lines had no effect on the beast, he said, but now and then the horse would suddenly leap almost put of the harness. He saw something that looked like wire, and learned that electricity was being used to start the balky horse. The Lenharts demonstrated In the court room that the battery was only Btrong enough to startle the horse and not injure it Recorder StackhouBe could see no harm in the battery, hav ing often himself used electricity, but not for the same purpose,' and he dis missed the case. GOLD MINE UNDER HIS FEET Alaska Miner Finds He Had Lived Over Golden Riches for Nine Years. Fairbanks, Alaska. George Sharp, a miner of Pedro creek, lived over a fortune over nine years before, he knew that the fortune existed. Sharp, when he first came to the Fairbanks district, located a claim on the right limit of Pedro creek opposite No. 2, and prospected for gold on the elairn at different times ever since. He spent most of his time seafthlng for the yellow stuff on his other hold ings, apparently neglectful of the pos sibilities right under the floor of his cabin. A few weeks ago Sharp sank a shaft near his cabin, got some pros pects and then tunneled on bed rock lor ten feet or so. He encountered coarse gold, some" fair sized nuggets "being included' "in, the dust obtained after sluicing s small dump. . To All New Itudentt.
