RURAL LEADERSHIP
BY NEBRASKA GIRLS
Social Service Work as Much Needed
in Country as the City Splendid
Opportunities Offered
Social service" is a rather over
worked phrase, in modern education.
To many it means social settlement
in the crowded districts of a large city.
It has come to be realized, however,
that Nebraska offers splendid oppor
tunities for social service, although
she "u-.s very few cities.
College girls all over the country
are facing social problems and are
nrnarfna to meet them. A group a
studying the possibilities of such lead
ership At different meetings mej
have ben addressed by workers In the
Vgricultural Extension Department,
iho vphraska Sunday School Associa
tion, the State library Commission ana
the Story Teller's League.
Beginning Thursday. April 8. the
group will meet at 7 o'clock in the
Y W. C. A. rooms and will study "Col
lege Women and Country Leadership "
by Miss Jessie Field, the secretary of
country work for the National Board
of the Young Women's Christian As
sociation. This book has been espe
cially prepared for each class. Any
girls Interested In this work are In
vited to meet Thursday evening

EASTERN COLLEGE
MEN NOT HUSTLERS
Eastern Salesmen For Implement Com
pany Have Not Made Satisfactory
Records
In the past a large agricultural im
plement manufacturer has been tak
ing men from eastern colleges and
trying them out in their sales work,
but the experiment, has not proved
very satisfactory, so now fhey have
changed their plan and will endeavor
to get men from the western states.
They feel that the western student is
compelled to work for hjs livelihood
while the eastern student works be
cause he can find no better enjoyment.
The Department of Agricultural En
gineering at the University of Ne
braska has ben selected as one of the
departments to furnish these men, and
the corporation will be pleased to ac
cept two of Its graduates each year to
work up in the sales department. These
men will probably be placed In the Lin
coln and Omaha branch houses it first.

Advisability of Taxing Each

A mass meeting or Minnesota sw-

If a strong sentiment in its lavor is

doubtedly sanction its adoption. The
proposed blanket tax is thus described
by the Minnesota Daily:
The details of the system are be

that every student who registers in

NEGROES EDUCATION
REPRESENTATIVE OF HAMPTON
SPOKE AT CONVOCATION
JUSTICE, NOT PITY WANTED
Speaker Expressed Gratitude to the
Anglo-Saxon Race Camp Meet
ing Hymns and Plantation
Melodies Sung
That education has done a great deal
of good for the negroes In America
and that Buch Institutions as Hamp
ton's institute of Richmond, Virginia,
are helping the good work along was
forcibly impressed upon the audience
at Convocation yesterday morning
when the representatives of that
school were present and provided a
most Interesting program which in
cluded several selections by the Male
Quartet and' a short talk by Mr.
Robert Moton. a graduate of that
school.
The Quartet first sang a number of
camp meeting hymns which were en
thusiastically received by the crowa.
The singers all had splendid voices
and responded graciously to encores a
number of times.
While the singers were resting Mr.
Moton spoke a few minutes concerning
- . . i
the school and told. In simple ana
effective words, what the school stood
for and what it was trying to do. He
first spoke of his own history and the
history of his ancestors. His ancestors
were broueht to America as slaves
and were sold to planters in Virginia.
Here they remained in slavery until
the war which set them tree anu
gave them a chance to get the educa- .
tion which Hampton's school is now-
trying to give to more and more of the
deserving of the negro race.
The sneaker was very grateful to
the Anglo-Saxon race, for if that race
had not brought his ancestors over to
America as slaves he might still be a
savage on the coast of Africa. He said
that the ten million negroes in Amer
ica form the greatest problem that (his
country has to solve. This Immense
number of negroes are greatly depend
ent on the white population and the
question is whether these two races
can live together peaceably and be of
mutual aid.
"Hampton's Institute is helping
solve this problem." said the speaker,
"by giving the negroes 6uch a training
as will enable them to uplift their race
and help their race to progress. We
don't ask pity for the negroes. All we
want Is justice." This justice which
Mr. Moton said he believed the white
race was willing to give, together with
the chance which Hampton's Institute
was giving the negro was paving the
way for a great future for the negro
race in America
In closing the speaker said that he
was proud to be a negro because of the
opportunity he had of helping his less
fortunate fellowmen and asked that
the students of Nebraska look with
charity and good will on the struggles
of his brethren in (America and that
they lend their aid in the uplift work.
In this way you are not only helping
the negro who n.'eds your help but you
are helping solve the United tSates'
greatest problem. -
After the speech the Quartet again
sang, this time giving plantation melo
dies.' Hampton's Intsltute, through its
representatives, certainiy left a fav
orable impression at Nebraska and
undoubtedly the speech gave many a
broader view of the race problem Its
scope and possible solution.
