The first game of the season will be played tomorrow with Drake.
From all reports, unless the team has the support of the rooters, they
will have a hard time. It would be a catastrophe if Drake should beat
us. Get out and help the team win.
Believing that University students need recreation through the
week end, and that many indulge in unprofitable recreation for want
of something better, the University authorities are going to give dances
in the Armory throughout the year. They will not be mixers, but
regular dances, for University folk. There will be no "stags" and
tickets will be bought at the door.
The University dances are an innovation at Nebraska and bid
fair to be very popular.
There are two well-known sayings that contradict each other,
"Look before you leap," and "He who -hesitates is lost." How about, it,
wise men?
There are a great many students who go to their classes every
day and at the end of the semester hardly know their professors.
Several times in the past there have appeared articles which de
plored the neglect of alumni to visit their professors when they return
to the University or to Lincoln. The fault lies with both the student
and the professor. Both are timid and hesitate to make any advances
of friendship.
The professors are human and need sympathy and understanding
as much as the students, and the daily routine of both would be
brightened by an occasional cheery word or friendly chat out of
class hours.

Miss Beers explained what was ex
pected of the commercial teacher. She
must teach everything from a business
standpoint. Arithmetic, geography,
English, typewriting and shorthand
must all be made definitely practical.
Small Town First
Miss Beers advised the inexperi
enced teacher to go first to a small
town, and later to a large city, if she
desires. She concluded her talk by
showing how the commercial teacher
in high school Is helping those who
need the help, for they usually are
boys and girls who must earn their
own way and cannot go directly to
college.

"The demand for teachers in the
commercial field greatly exceeds the
supply," stated Mis3 Gertrude Beers,
principal of shorthand at the Nebras
ka school of buEfness, in her infor
mal talk to the University Business
Women's club yesterday afternoon.
"Those who teach the commercial
work get at least $20 more per month
than the other high school teachers,"
Miss Beers said. "None need accept
a position for less than $100 per
month, who has finished the course,
and the course may be completed in
one year."
More Independence
The reason Miss Beers gave for
the higher wages paid commercial
teachers was that these teachers are
much more independent. Boards of

SUB8CRDE
800 STUDENTS HEAR
BEETHOVEN SYMPHONY
FIRST OF A SERIES TO BE GIVEN
UNDER MRS. RAYMOND
Interpretation by Professor Dann
Declares Whole Is Charming
Music
Approximately 800 students and
members of the faculty attended the
first symphony program given at con
vocation yesterday under the direction
of Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond. "The at
tention of the audience," Dr. Winifred
Hyde said, "was perfect."
These series of symphonies show
Beethoven's development, and in order
to get full benefit from them every one
should be attended. The following is
the interpretation written by Prof. W.
P. Dann:
The Interpretation
This symphony, written in his ear
lier style, is formed in part on a
searching study of Mozart. Beethoven
had previously subjected himself to a
rigorous training in counterpoint un
der Albrechtsberger, a strict and dry
master. The present symphony clear
ly exhibits the results of such study
and discipline, at the same time giving
proof of independent and original
genius.
The short introduction begins, irreg
ularly enough, with a discord not be
longing to the key of C major, and it
has sudden changes from forte to
piano a frequent characteristic of
BDethoven'a style. This slow move
ment soon leads to the principal theme
of the Allegro with short, staccato
phrases. This is reiterated several
times in modified forms, and then
gives place to the countertheme which,
as usual, presents a marked contrast
in manner to the principal theme. The
"working out" with various modula
tions of these two themes follows (in
this symphony neither very extended
nor elaborate), and then the original
theme in the original key re-enters
with full orchestra fortissimo.
Contranuptial Studies
The Andante shows the influence of
his contranuptial studies. The open
ing melody, presented by the violins,
is answered in canon form by the vio
las and 'cellos. Later on a soft, mo
notonous drumming of the bass gives
a rythmical background for a stac
cato figure in triplets. ,
The sprightly Menuetto is easily fol
lowed. Beethoven's sense of humor
finds expression in this movement as
well as in the opening of the final Al
legro, where the violins seem to be
timidly searching for the right note
of the scale, but having at last found
the last high tone and thus made sure
of the ground, they rush off in a mad,
Joyous whirl.
The whole symphony is charming
music. Neither tragedy nor over
whelming sadness is suggested, but
brightness, clarity, and grace run
through it from beginning to end. The
clouds in Beethoven's life had not yet
gathered.
Abraham Lincoln Said
"When any church will inscribe over its
alter, as its sole qualification for meiriber
ship, "Thou shalt love thy Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mina,. and thy neighbor as thy
self' that church will I join with all my
heart, and with all my soul.
This church accepts the religion of Jesus
holding, in accordance with his teachings,
that practical religion is summed up in love
to God and love to man.
We cordially invite to our working fel
lowship any who, while differing from us in
belief, are in general sympathy with our
spsrit and practical aim.

PROF. FOGG AT
LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL
BOOSTS "ADVOCATE"
Professor Fogg was invited to speak
at a special assembly of the 1,300 stu
dents and the faculty of the Lincoln
high school yesterday morning. The
meeting was in the interests of the
Advocate, the weekly publication of i
the high school, which has been re-1
made into newspaper form. Trofes-i
sor Fogg's subject was "The Lincoln
High School and Its Newspaper."
The professor emphasized the value
of a high school newspaper properly
conducted. It provides opportunity for
practice in writing with a definite end
in view and thereby supplements the
regular class room instruction in the
writing of accurate, clear, interesting
English. A high school paper also
promotes school spirit.
Principal Jesse Newlon declared
that Lincoln aims to put out the best
high school newspaper in the United
States. He has set aside and fiur
nished a large room to be used as the
office of the Advocate.
