Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second-class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. ,
Dr. Stewart's appeal for a new gymnasium, and for better facil
ities for athletics means more than merely new structural supports.
It also means that students must be behind all forms of college ath
letics. We need spirit and school enthusiasm in order to make our
sport6 real.
The management is providing every attraction to draw students
to basketball games. The number six football ticket, which wos not
UBed. will admit student holders to any basketball game during the
season. After the Camp Dodge games Friday and Saturday evening
Dr. Stewart has arranged a "follow-up" dance.
It should not be necessary for the athletic managers to hold out
"bait" of this kind to get college men and women to attend basket
ball games. It should be the earnest desire of students to attend
every athletic contest that is staged for Nebraska athletes. There is
no more wholesome interest in college life than an interst in ath
Itics. Nebraska has much to offer. Get behind Nebraska. Your
school is what you make it. Then it isn't your school it's you!
A good clean game of basketball is exhilarating. There is an alert
ness, a mental rivalry about it. that makes of it a game that cannot
be equalled. Basketball is coming into its own. Support It!
A NEW FORM OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The MaldenPlan of religious education, now in its third year, is
attracting much attention in many parts of the world as a strikingly
successful experiment. It originated with several men of large means
who became alive to the fact that our young people as a rule their
own children included were decfiient in the fundamentals of religious
knowledge. A handsome fund was subscribed, and Boston University
undertook the experiment, under Professor Walter S. Athearn, of the
Chair of Religious Education in the Graduate School. The large indus
trial and residential city of Maiden, a Greater Boston municipality, was
selected as a good field for the work, which was conducted according
to laboratory methods by Professor Athearn. with excellent results for
his classes.
The Maiden Plan starts on the basis of democracy and runs along
liner that follow the methods of a public school system. The Maiden
Council of Religious Education, comprising a large body of repre
sentative citizens of all denominations, was organized and incorpor
ated, with the right to hold endowments, bequests, etc. There are a
president and a board of directors. A city superintendent of Religious
Education, with functions corresponding to those of a .superintendent
of public schools, was appointed. Under him the work is conducted
along comprehensive lines. The procedure is absolutely non-sectarian.
The participation of Roman Catholics or of Jews on absolutely equal
terms is heartily welcomed, for in all creeds there is a broad basis
of common agreement. Several commissions from the council were
appointed to investigate local conditions: musical training, welfare
work and possibilities of co-ordination, educational conditions etc.
On the basis of reports. thus obtained the activities of the movement
were organized along intensely practical lines.
The great aim was to come into touch with community life in
sympathetic ways and to take duo advantage of all possibilities for co
ordinated effort wherever practicable. The activities thus agreed upon
include, first, the Maiden School of Religious Education, working in
co-operation with Boston University. The school has an admirable
faculty of sixteen members, all authorities in their subjects. The ses
sions are held every Tuesday evening in the great parish-house of one
of the churches. The school proves invaluable for the training of
Sunday school teachers.
Then there is the Maiden Festival Chorus, a community organiza-,
tion including both children and adults. Professor H. Augustin Smith,
of the chair of Community Music and Pageantry in Boston Univer
sity, is the director as well as the school's instructor in musical min
istries of the church. A highly trained musician, he is known through
out the country a a leader in the widespread movement for community
music, which he directs with a high standard of taste and proficiency.
In Maiden he finds good soil for his work in the excellent quality of
musical instruction in the public schools. The adult chorus rehearses
weekly with the school, whose students generally participate in the
chorus work. The Outlook.

on the campus is continuing In Its
work along this line and much has
heen accomplished during this year.
One of the most popular methods
of relief work Is the supporting of
French and Belgian orphans, and
practically all of the sororities have
adopted one or more and all are ac

Besides contributing to the national
fund of the sorority for the relief of
Belgian orphans. Delta Gamma has
sewed for French babies and is at

With the money which the members
collected in the national "mile of

shelter houses in France and Belgium
and in Holland they are maintaining
the Delta Cam ma house for Belgian
orphans. Last year knitting parties
were held weekly, each member pay
ing 1" cents to the war fund. Spreads
were abolished and the money which
would have been used was contributed
to the fund.
Helps Build Hospital
Kappa Alpha Theta has supported
a French orphan for the past two
years. A sorority national fund of
$5,000 to which the members contrib
ute, has built a base hospital and dis
pensary in the devastated regions of
northern France for the children and
the aged. It serves as a sort of community-
house where the children may
also receive instruction. They have
contributed to the Red Cross and have
done a great deal of individual Red
Cross work.
Each girl in Phi Mu contributed a
sum of money to the Phi Mu national
fund to build a nurses hut in France.
Last spring the girls of the sorority
gave a dance for the benefit of the
Y. M. C. A. fund and they have bought
a Liberty Bond. They have also done
individual work io sewing and making
bandages. Clara R. Ranck, senior
arts, spent her summer vacation doing
civilian relief work in New York City.

WHITNEY RECOMMENDED
FOR NUTRITION OFFICER
Professor D. D. Whitney received a
letter from the war department a short
while ago stating that he had been
recommended for a commission as
captain in the sanitary corps. Due to
the cessation of hostilities the letter
added that such commissions could
not be given except in special depart
ments or in the reserve corps. Had
he received his commission. Professor
Whitney would have held the position
of nutrition officer.
