JOURNALISM AT NEBRASKA Interesting is the communication on the teaching of journalism in the United States, received from Carl H. Getz of Ohio State university, end printed elsewhere in these columns. Professor Getz is secretary treasurer of the American Association of Teachers of Journalism. His showing of the rapid growth of journalism teaching in American col leges, and the great interest that Nebraska University students haw displayed in the subject, calls once again to mind the necessity for giving this subject more adequate attention in the curricula of our own University. Not a college or university taught journalism eleven years ago; today instruction in the subject is given in 106 colleges and universities. Two hundred men and women are offering the instruction to 5.000 stu dents. Nebraska University is tenth in the number of persons taking the course. Professor Getz' closing paragraph is significant, and important to the probelm here. He says, "Every teacher in journalism knows that the only way to develop instruction in journalism is to have a separate department or school of journalism. The institutions which are doing the best work, who are giving the most practical instruction, have separate departments." The calling of two Nebraska newspapermen. Norris Huse and Charles Rosewater, to important positions in the newspaper field, the one to New York City and the other to Los Angeles, within the past few weeks, is evidence of the opportunities in the Nebraska journalistic field. This state has been said to offer a better field for the journalist than any other in the union. Our own University should offer the instruction to fit Nebraska men and women to carry on this great work, instead of forcing them to other states for the instruction, or preventing Nebraskans from entering the field because of lack of proper equipment. THAT NEW GYMNASIUM The suggestion of E. E. Phillips for Booster's club, composed or University students and alumni who are vitally interested In securing a new gymnasium, that would form a working unit that would secure the needed building, is a good one. Organized action is necessary, and while all those who favor a gymnasium are earnest enough, beyond a doubt, they are unorganized and can't get results. The Nebraskan would like to se a mass meeting of men and women students interested in securing a new gymnasium, and a club for that purpose formed. This is antohcr opportunity for some of the University societies that ordinarily devote all of their tiinr to politics, to get interested in a worth whilf thing. IT'S LOVELY WEATHER Perhaps it is premature, this appreciation of the fine weather Nebraska has bf-vn enjoying lately. Maybe It ought to be laid away until some May day. But ther" was something so good yesierday after noon, in just walking down the strfft and looking at the sky and breathing In the air, that the wta'her man is going to get his today. If the weight of back work, presr-nt studies and future lessons stifles you. get out into the open and it will dissolve into the air. If the glooms are jabbing at you and your digestion is suffering, a walk will encourage the joys and incite the gastric Juires. Mother Nature can't be apostrophized too much. She is the great Cure-All. The basketball squad left for Iowa yesterday. The team should get some of those scalps it missed last week in Kansas. Is it because we do not have men In school and In the alumni with initi atlve enough to form a Booster's club and go In for a new gymnasium? The old gym Is very Inadequate; there is a lack of floor space, cramped and unsanitary conditions exist in the locker rooms and the seating capacity is entirely too small. The floor space in the gym is so small that men and girls cannot work out at the same time thus many athletes do not get to work out when they should. The cramped and unsanitary conditions in the locker rooms are the worst possible in the schools of this size. The air is foul, containing more or less germs. "Jack" Best says, "I can not see how I have stood the air in this room for the last twenty-eight years.' Would It not be a Justice to give the old favorite servant of Nebraska a clean place to work for the short time that he will remain with us? The seating capacity of the gym is so Email that it will not accom modate the crowds which will wish to see the exhibitions and basketball games as the result of the single tax. We don't want to keep this building until it becomes a sentiment to keep ft as with University hall, so let's get busy and form a Booster's club which will get a new gymnasium. If all of the men who have steodly com plained of the conditions in the gym would get behind this movement with the spirit that "For Nebraska We Will." it will be an easy matter to secure a new gym for our school.

NON COMPOS MENTIS Our Daily Thought How many people give of their own free will when they are asked and there is no one else to view their magnanimity? Time: Sometime between dawn and dusk. Place: Over in the law building. Much noise. Professor Fossler is engaged in a heated argument. Stand ing Just outside the door of a class room. Silence within the classroom. Professor Maxey's noble pafe appears in the doorway. "Hey there, not so much noise. That's Just the way with you Germans, always interfering with international law." It is rumored that a certain Kappa, while the plans were being made for their formal party soon, put a certain well-known young man's name on the guest list as her "second man." (Each girl can invite two men.) Then she wrote to an out-of-town man to go v.i'h her. In the meantime, the formal committee, not knowing of the out-of-town man, addressed the invitations and inclosed h r card in the invitation of the "second man." At the latest report, no word has come from the stranger. We are thinking that it will prow interesting if both men accept. Say :irlH, this column is a silly thing isn't it? With the Student Editor Self Knowledge Know thyself: These two word-: summarize the whole teachings of the great philosopher Socrates. He rec organized the fundamental value of knowing one's innner self before try ing to embrace other knowledge. The average person is too little ac quainted with himself. He may know his own business, and possibly the business of his rnighbors; he may konw politics, manners, music, silence and the arts, but he does not know himself. Man rarely studies himself. He eel dow places himself in an attitude for self reflection. Indeed, he hardly wants to survey his own character and conduct in relation to cause and effect. Yet It seems a pity that others should know us better than we know ourselves. They are blind who think of themselves more highly than they ought to think, and who refuse to ob serve the mental and moral conditions in themselves for which others con demn them. They are fitted neither for life nor death. "Death," says Seneca, "falls heavily on him who is too much known to others, and too little to himself." Pontanus, an old scholar, consid ered self-knowledge of so much conse quence that he formulated an epitaph of advice for his own tomb thus: "I am Pontanus, beloved by the powers of literature, admired by men of worth, and dignified by the mou an hs of the world. Thou know est now who I am, more properly, who I was. For thee, stranger, I who am in darkness cannot know thee, but I entreat thee to know thyrelf." Self-knowledge enables 'us better to choose our vocation, map out plans, adjust ourself to -our surroundings, fit Into our environments and guage our selves for necessary duties. Washing ton Daily.

The University of Indiana celebrated the opening of a new gymnasium which was secured through a two years' campaign of the Booster's club and alumni of that school. The Univer sity of Pennsylvania Is also consider ing a new gymnasium for their school. Why not a new gymnasium for Ne braska? It surely is not because we do not need it as the need is obvious.

Today China needs help Just as Japan did then. It is in these next few years that the value of Christianity in this field is to be decided. Miss Coppock, for whom the money is being pledged, is right now on the ocean on her way back to America to secure thirty-five new secretaries to help her in her work.
