A CHANGE IN VALUES
The demand for college trained men
and women seems to be greater to
day than it has ever been before.
Girls whose training in home eco
nomics is not nearly finished are be
ing asked to work next fummer demon
strating methods of conservation of
food throughout the state. Men with
one or two years of agricultural train
ing are needed in various departments
of farm work. The laboratories in
Washington and elsewhere are asking
for technically trained men and wom
en. Members of Nebraska home eco
nomics classes will demonstrate dif
ferent kinds of war breads In the
grocery stores of Lincoln tomorrow
afternoon. Among other things that
is proving the commercial vlue of
home economics training.
It has not been long since many
people, particularly business men and
women, looked askance at teaching
boys and girls "what they should be
taught at home by their parents:
There are a lot of conservative school
boards who even yet do not have
home economics and manual training
in the curriculums of their schools
They declare that such training is
impractical. They seem to believe that
all their daughters will learn from
snch a course will be how to make
canrty ?r.d dVi. that their sons will
waste time and money fashioning
taborets and other unnecessary art!
cles.
The war is showing the error of
such reasoning. , These people who
believe higher education unnecessary
are turning to the college men and
women of the country to save them
in this crisis. Even hospitals are of
fering special inducement to secure
"college graduates."
"This is the day when the univer
sity people are coming into their own,"
Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman emphasized
yesterday morning at Convocation.
"Make the most of your opportunity,"
he added, "for to do your part well,
yon must have a large vision of life."
"LET US HAVE PEACE"
So spoke the master militarist of
America three and fifty years ago.
So sr.y w e after viewing the resolation
of three and a half years of the worst
warfare the earth has ever known.
Let us have peace just as soon as
the broken sword of Prussianism is
tendered in unconditional surrender.
Detesting war, we are forced to be
lieve in a w-ar which became neces
sary to regain peace for the world.
Respecting peace, 'we protest against
a pseudo-peace which the -enemies of
mankind may hm e prepsratioa for
Tenewed war.
If Might is God and Schrecklichkeit
is its Prophet, then Prussianism is
Justified. Welcome peace and wel
come the shackles which shall bind
the world. But if such a standard is
wrong, then Germany is wrong and
we dare not submit or quit until her
power is no longer a menace. Let us
have peace. Trat let it be a peace "be

A special Convocation will be held

The Vogue for
Low Shoes
Even this early in the season there's a noticeable
request for both men's ami women's low shoes. An
t arly Easter has advanced shoe buying considerably,
which is probably the reason why so many are choos
ing oxfords, selecting spats to wear with them
during Spring's chilly days.
How fully me sensed this demand, long before it came,
is shown by the splendid oxford stocks which are ready
now. In women's styles particularly, combinations of
fabrics and leather are very much in evidence, tho there
are many all leather models. Styles are very pretty and
graceful. The men's models are neat, clean-cut appearing.
Both are included in all of the best new Spring colors.
