OUR CARNIVAL
If the carnival Saturday night Is to
be a real success every student and
member of the faculty must do his
part. There Is always a tendency
to let someone else do the things that
"one hasn't the time to do anyway."
If every student did a much as I
do. what sort of a school would there
be? Is a question each of us may
profitably, to hlmpelf and to the
school, nsk of himself. If every In
structor were the kind of instructor
I am, what sort of a school wouli
Nebraska be? If every person In
the world were the sort of person
I am, what sort of a world would
there be?
Such questions of course exagger
ate the point. Everyone knows It
takes all kinds of people to make a
world, to make a school. But sup
pose every girl in the world spent
the time rolling bandages that you
do, little girl of the library steps,
what wculd happen to the wounded
soldiers? Suppose that everyone In
the world bought as many thrift
stamps as you did. Mr. Man with the
four "No's" on your subscription card
in the Student Activity office? Sup
pose every professor read from such
lecture notes as you read from, Mr.
Professor of the crumbling pam
phlets, would people come to Ne
braska to attend school or to supple
ment courses in archaeology and an
cient history?
The Nebraska hospital unit has
195,000, the minimum the Red Cross
allows is $90,000. The average hos
pital unit has about $200,000. Up to
the present time the University has
contributed nothing. Can the Uni
versity afford to allow the Nebraska
unit to go inefficiently equipped? A
hospital unit consists of beds, and
of men and of nurses who care for
the soldiers who are brought back
mangled from the firing line. Do we
want our own university men who
have been -wounded to be taken to a
fifty per cent efficient hospital?
A person has no light to depend on
anyone else doing more than he is
planning to do himself.
Don't wait to be asked to bring a
trinket donation to the carnival.
Don't wait to be invited to come. It
is your own business to be there.
The carnival can be made such a
success that all Nebraska will ap
plaud. The people of the whole state
will realize that the University is
not a pro-German hot-bed as critics
have said. A successful carnival will
do more to disprove such criticism
than all the scouting for doubtful
sympathizers and German clubs could
ever do. The pro-Germans won't
change their views; the Germ clubs
won't give up their meetings. But
our patriotism can sweep them along
with us, may even make them Amer
icans, Just as a German woman from
Germantown might lem to love the
flag of the United States because her
unall boy carried it in the parade.
If everyone does his part the car
nival -will be a success, and it will
be successful to Just the degree that
everyone does do this.

OUR ALLIES
By Dr. Lyman P. Powell, President of
Hobart College
From the Patriotic News Service, Na
tional Committee of Patriotic Soci
cietiea, Washington, D. C.
Reciprocity with the college- ot
Great Britain and France for the pur
pose of educating the people of Amer
ica and Europe to a better under
standing of war and after-the-war
problems la recommended by Dr. Ly
man P. Powell, President of Hobart
College. Dt. Fowell, who recently re
turned from an Important war mis
slon. during which he made a survey
of the educational situation In Eng
land and France, advocates sending
to Europe a delegation of prominent
Americans representing the leading
national education associations, the
Rockefeller and Carnegie Founda
tlona, the league to Enforce Teace.
and other organliatlons Interested In
world reorganUatlon. to. confer with
the leading educators of England and
France.
This war. he says, has brought
about a recasting of educational
standards. "There Is emerging a
new appreciation of the cultural val
ues of England and France w hich has
long been overshadowed by the bom
bastic and pretentious kultur of the
foe. Nowhere can education after
the war be what It was before. To
beat Germany is merely our first
task. We have set our teeth to
perform that task and we are going
to do It. standing shoulder to shoul
der with our allies.
"We shall not disappoint our noble
friends across the sea. Our college
boys will do their duty. They will
give the last full measure of devotion.
Harvard and Yale, Chicago and Ober
lin, California and Leland Stanford
will stand check by Jowl with Oxford
and Cambridge. London and rarls,
Dijon and Bordeaux, in presenting an
unbreakable front of racial and
righteous culture against a kultur of
ficially championed at the outbreak
of the war not merely by the Govern
ment but by university professors,
scientific men. historians and public
ists who declared that civilization
depended on 'the victory of German
militarism and that kultur must rear
its domes over mountains of corpses,
oceans of tears, and death-rattle of
the conquered.
"All the way through these coming
years of the rebuilding of the world,
our colleges must see straight. They
must not forget that Machlavelli was
s mere tyro by the side of the un
speakable Prussian. They must not
be fooled into the belief that Pan
Germanism has been developed- by
our enemy for mere war-consump
tion. They must think before and
utter Thev must remember that j
scarcely was the Kaiser seated on
the throne before the abominable
propaganda began to give undue
prominence to German language and
German influence in the schools and
colleges of the whole world. They
must never for a moment forget that
all this vicious effort to poison the
springs of the world's highest ideals
has had the financial backing of the
German government itself.
"Our colleges will not be deceived
by any plea to let bygones be by
gones. They will have before them
ever in cold type the deliberate and
slowly developed purpose of the en
emy to create a German natoin in our
nation recognized as recently as 1913
in the Delbruck law which claimed
for the Kaiser the loyalty of even
naturalized Germans in our country,
and also clearly stated on February
13, 1915, in Das Grossere Deutsch
land, which openly " spoke of a
'deutscher Tag in the American Fed
eral capital.'
"But the spell at last is broken by
the Potsdam gang. We shall not all
agree in making up anew our esti
mate of Germany. Perhaps few of
us will go so far as the writer in
the Fortnightly Review, who says we
are indebted literally to Germany for
'little beyond the perversion of what
was the intensely human genius of
Carlyle into a manner of fascinating
monstrosity.' We shall all, however,
put the knife in' deep. Nowhere
more surely than in our colleges is
it becoming evident In the light of
our new understanding of the value
of French and Spanish that the Ger
man language has been overestimated
even for commercial purposes. No
where mere definitely thau la oui
colleges will men turn back again
to the Judgment of William James,
trained in French thinking, who pro
claimed nearly a generation ago that
German philosophy was not all the
Germans claimed for it.
"England will teach us of her best,
and in France the day is not far
distant when young America will
learn how to combine precision with
the power to generalize. Together
with our allies, we shall plan out
wisely the new education essential to
any league to preserve peace and
shall realize increasingly the truth
in Mr. H. G. Well's words that Now
that the apostolic succession of the
old pedagogy Is broken, and the en
tire system discredited, it seems in
credible that it can ever again be
reconstituted In Its old seats upon
the old lines."
