PRACTICE WORK FOR LAWS.
In an effort to get closer to actual
conditions in its practice courts,. the
college of law has adopted a system
of co-operation with practicing law
yers. Last year the law school sent out a
circular letter to a large number of
practicing attorneys asking them to
send in mooted cases for the students
to work upon. Over one hundred cases
came in, and with them came many
requests for briefs or conclusions
reached by students. No facilities are
furnished for this kind of work which
would require stenographic assistance
in addition to careful briefing by stu
dents, but such contact with live prob
lems would be the ideal apprentice
ship work.
Notwithstanding these handicaps in
not having a clerical assistant for close
contact between the law college and
the practicing bar, the practice courts
have had a very successful year.
In connection with their regular
practice courses some of the students
of the law college are making an anal
ysis of about fifty volumes of reports
of the Nebraska courts. They are
trying to establish that the courts are
spending more time on remedial law
than on substantive law and have com
piled the number of points involved
and repeated.
This work is not a part of the regu
lar courses and has been volunteered
by the students themselves. Each man
is given his data free of charge.
JUDD CRITICISES METHODS.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 7. The
failure of the modern teacher to really
teach was told today by Dr. Charles
H. Judd if the University of Chicago,
'to the convention of the California
Teachers' Association in session here.
He said teachers often used slipshod
methods, securing parrot-like answers,
but not teaching the pupil how to study
or the real use of books.
"Teachers should sthdy human na
ture and prescribe for the pupils intel
lectually as a doctor prescribes for
them physically," he said. "The school
should be primarily for the instruction
of the boys and girls on how to study.
The class room dreamer should be en
couraged. Unfortunately, we too often
create an awe of books because the
pupils do not know what to do with
them."
The Purdue battery, of Purdue Uni
versity, Lafayette Ind., will go to
camp at Sparta, Wis., on June 2. Final
arrangements have been made with
the university authorities to excuse
members of the battery on Wednesday,
June 2, and the War Department will
order a regular battery of field artil
lery to Sparta at that time. There is
no expense whatever for the men who
attend camp, as the state and national
governments pay transportation ex
penses from station to camp and re
turn, and also pay the men a nominal
sum for their services. It Is likely
that a special train will be provided
for the battery. Purdue Exponent.

professional offerings of the season.
There has been a good feeling created
here this week by the visit of the stu

will be very difficult for the university
to keep from giving Osceola a return
visit next year, judging by the present
good feeling and unanimity of the en

week not only a superior quality of

theirs was indicated of the best.

here paid a good tribute to her skill
and power in teaching the dramatic
art, Mr. Cloyd Stewart of Lincoln

Anti-Swearing Crusade
Small placards, bearing the head
lines, "Ten to One." why every re
spectable man should swear just as
often and as hard as he can, adorn
each cell at the state penitentiary.
The cards were distributed among the
inmates by some anti-swearing society.
The ten reasons why and the one why
not on the cards are as follows: 1.
Because it is such an elegant way of
expressing one's thoughts; 2. Because
it is such a conclusive proof of good
taste and breeding; 3. Because it is
such a sure way of making one's self
agreeable to his friends; 4. Because
it is a positive evidence of acquaint
ance with good literature; 5. Because
it furnishes such a good example for
training boys; 6. Because It is" Just
what a man's mother enjoys having
him do; 7. Because it looks so nice in
print; 8.. Because It is such a good
way of increasing one's self respect;

Militarism received a decided shock
in Columbia University recently, when
the students of Columbia drafted and
dispatched a series of protests to Pres
ident WMlson, urging him to discourage
the formation of the proposed "Legion
of Honor," which was lately much
aired by former President Roosevelt
and prominent military, authorities.
The tone of the communication from
the students of Columbia University
was that they would use every means
within their power to prevent the
spread of the militaristic spirit in the
institution. Furthermore, they inti
mated that they would take no part in
the establishment of summer military
training, schools for college students,
which was proposed by prominent mili
tary authorities and approved by sev
eral college presidents. Columbia
University has taken a prominent part
in the national peace movement among
American colleges, and their action in
this matter seems to be In harmony
with their previous attitude toward
military movements.
