mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
Personality is priceless especially in an instructor. Nearly any
one who has a teacher's certificate and a P. B. K. key, can get a posi
tion as a professor in an institution of higher learning, and it is true,
though deplorable, that few of them can teach. The ability to "put
things across" depends largely on personality, no matter what line of
work is involved, and no one will deny that the professor who is dis
tinctive and "human" in the deepest sense, is far more successful
than the one who is the drab reflection of another.
Edson Shaw was elected football captain for next year at a meet
ing of the team, Monday, and the decision of the team is being met
with popular favor everywhere on the campus. "Ed" Shaw has the
ability to be an ideal football captain and there is no doubt that the
team will certainly "do things" next year under his leadership.
Dr. George E. Howard, head of the political science and sociology
department, has tendered his resignation from the University faculty.
If the resignation is accepted, the University will lose one of its ablest
and best known instructors. Dr. Howard has won recognition in this
country and abroad by his writings on political and sociological ques
tions and is an authority on history, politics, economics and social
science.
The importance of the department of sociology and political
science in the curriculum of the University is due largely to Dr. How
ard's influence and with his resignation Nebraska will lose one of her
"biggest" men.
There are two thousand Nebraskans who have not yet given their
share toward the European prison relief. If this is because of indiffer
ence and a callousness to the extreme sufferings of European prisoners,
and it looks as if this were the case, then surely the education of
men and women at a state institution is deplorably deficient.
Education is supposed to sharpen the senses of human beings,
not to dull them. If Nebraskans do not meet their share of the oppor
tunity to help the overwhelming sorrow and suffering in the European
prison campB, they are selfish, self-centered weaklings who are a dis
grace to the greatness and generosity of the people in this wonderful
6tate of ours.

THE DAYS GONE BY
Five Years Ago Today
A paper written by Dr. Edwin
Maxey was read at the historical
conference of Clark university held in
Worcester, Mass.
Five students had' been suspended
and several others were on proba
tion until they could show a better
average in their work. This was
considered a very good record for
the first semester.
The Wesleyan athletic board de
creed that Wesleyan would play no
more games with normal schools in
the slate.
Two Years Ago Today
Frqm the standpoint of the Lindell
bar, the Cornhusker banquet was a
flat failure. The total receipts from
banquet patrons was 13 cents. Two
alumni were responsible for a dime's
worth and the other nickel was con
tributed by a friend of ours with a
severe cold.
One Year Ago Today
Plans were being made to turn the
gridiron into a skating rink.
Prof. G. E. Barber, president and
veteran member of the athletic board,
had been in St. Louis assisting in
the arrangement of this year's
schedule.
S. L. Gardner, '17. Phi Kappa Psi,
reported the theft of $25 in bills, $9
in silver and a check for $1 from his
dresser while he was attending the
Cornhusker banquet.
GO-OPERATIVE ON
EDUCATIONAL STUDY
Teachers College High School and
Other Colleges Together on
Problem
The Teachers' college high school
and other colleges of the state are or
ganized this year into a society tor the
co-operative study of educational prob
lems. This year the special problem
is investigation relative to te various
plans of supervised study. Each in
stitution is carrying on an experiment
in one plan of supervised study, the
report of which will be made near the
close of the year.
Valuable light on teaching methods
is being disclosed in this experimental
study. One form of supervised study
has been in vogue in the Teachers'
College high school for the past five
years and has had most interesting
results.
Prof. Frederick Stuff of the depart
ment of English is testing out this new
plan In his courses this year which
promises to be of importance to all
teachers.
DISCUSS NEED OF
JOURNALISM SCHOOL
Middle-West School Review Declares
University Must Not Lag
Behind
With a photograph of Prof. M, M.
Fogg on the cover of the December
number of the Middle-West School
Review, the magazine devotes two
nases and a half to a discussion of
the need of a school of journalism
in the University of Nebraska.
The editor of the Review makes
the following comment:
"From the standpoint of the public
system of Nebraska the movement of
students and the state press to de
velop Professof Fogg's course in
journalism into a school of journal
ism deserves the hearty support of
Nebraska school men. The student
demand for it is unmistakably strong.
The registration of over 100 in his
news writing course is larger than
the total registration last year in
several different departments and
furthermore larger than the regista
tion in two of the schools which the
regents have seen fit to organize.
The school of journalism, it is safe
to phophesy, would speedily become
one of the most popular departments
of the University. . . .
"Journalism should be given prompt
ly at Nebraska the emphasis and dig'
nity other states are giving it. It
should no longer be hidden away as
two or three courses under 'rhetoric.'
... In this most important field of
education Nebraska is now the last
among state institutions of anything
like its rank."
