Athletic directors of the various
schools also met and arranged a part
of their schedules for the coming
year. Nebraska will meet Ames in
four basketball games this season, two
to be played in Lincoln and two at
Ames. The Cornhuskers will also
meet the Kansas Aggies twice at Man
hattan, Kansas twice at Lawrence,
and Drake for four games, two here
and two there.
The Kansas-Nebraska track meet,
and also the football game, will be
staged at Lawrence next year. The
date for the track meet is May 15th,
while the annual gridiron struggle will
be played on November 13th. The
Missouri Valley Conference track
meet will be held at Columbia, Mo.,
on May 29th. Nebraska decided to
wait until she had a new athletic field
before bidding for the big event.
Another important action of the
conference committee was the repeal
of the rule forbidding any athlete to
participate in more than two major
sports during one school year. This
action will render it possible for a
man to win as many letters as he can,
"physically" speaking.
It is quite probable that the Corn
huskers will meet Drake and Missouri
on the gridiron next fall, in which
case she will have five conference
games on her schedule.

The Girls' Club Council met Satur
day to urge every girl to boost for
the "mixer" of December 11. It was
announced that the convention of
women's leagues, or of girls clubs,
would be held here next year.
Our Girls' Club is going to fill a
memory book, so we may give a defi
nite idea of what the club has been
doing in the past. All girls are asked,
therefore, to bring clippings or snap
shots of past and present events for
the book.
Professors at Meetings.
Professors Condra and Chatburn
were at Hastings, Thursday evening,
and took part in the ceremonies of
the Mystic Shrine. There 'were aDoui
one. hundred and forty from Lincoln
at the ceremonies. This was a large
part of the crowd, as there were about
six hundred there. Both or the pro
fessors are officers In the organization.
"Ancient History," by Prof. Hutton
Webster of the Sociology department
of the University of Nebraska, is what
might be called a.new treatment of an
old subject. Coming from the pen of
a scholar who has concerned himself
chiefly with the everyday life of peo
ples and not so much with their mili
tary and political achievements, his
book deals largely with the social and
industrial development of the early
nations. In the works of successful
army "generals or brilliant statesmen
we might look for a chain of victories
won and states overthrown. Every
man, in writing a book, whether it be
a novel or a textbook, has a message
to deliver, and in "Ancient History"
Professor Webster has given us his
message of how ancient history was
really made by the common people of
those times.
In examining the book, one is first
impressed by the admirably complete
outline' of contents, which is logically
arranged so as to enable the reader
quickly to grasp and firmly to retain
the main facts. Reading the text
itselw is also greatly facilitated by
the author's simple, lucid and interest
ing style. The words are monosylla
bles; they are colored so as to attract
and retain the attention of the mind,
and the sentences are short, crisp and
suggestive. The book is also pro
fusely suplemented with maps and
illustrations, and it everywhere re
flects the author's passion to be un
derstood. Finally, to bring us in close
personal touch with the ancients,
their currency systems, their laws,
their educational and religious insti
tutions. Both in form and substance,
Professor Webster's book is a marked
departure from past standards.
The work does not purport to be a
presentation of the results of exhaus
tive research. No attempt is made to
present the claims of disputants about
mntested facts of ancient history. On
the contrary, it is only a 650-page text
book for high school students to study
and high school teachers to teach by.
For this reason the book Is not a
proper subject for the same close and
scholarly criticism that is applied to
works of research, and the fairest and
most illuminating comment com 88
from persons who have had practical
experience with this and other books
in teaching history to rapidly develop
ing but Immature minds.
The style of Professor Webster's
ing testimonial from the pen of Prof
W. S. Davis of the University of Min
nesota: "The literary quality is of a
higher order than In most text-books,
and withal there is a good apprehen
sion of the requirements of actual
school conditions."
The adaptation of the book to the
interests of modern readers was no
ticed by Prof. J. Nelson Norwood of
Alfred University (Alfred, N. Y.L who
wrote: "If current thought is busy
with constitution making as it was 100
years ago, we give constitutional his
tory. Now the current thought is in
terested in the doings, aims and bet
terment of the common man, so his
torically we begin to reflect the inter
est in him and treat history economic
ally and sociologically."
The special pedagogical value of
this new book is briefly alluded to by
Prof. W. C. Wilcox of Iowa State Uni
versity in these words: "The author
has a wonderfully correct instinct in
his Judgment of what a high school
student wants and needs."
"The Nation" has noticed the em
phasis placed by Professor Webster
on the everyday life of our ancestors.
In a short, sweeping review the editor
of "The Nation" says: "Webster's
Ancient History will be acceptable to
teachers who think the military and
political aspects have had too large
and the social and cultural aspects too
small a place in our historical text
books."
The above are only a few of the
many testimonials written by experi
enced history teachers in favor of
this work with a view to introducing
the volume to the student public.
One hundred and thirteen girls have
been pledged by the eleven Minnesota
sororities, an average -f ten apiece,
and a considerably hi&uer percentage
than has been pledged for many
years. Minnesota Daily.
