For This laaoe FORREST ESTES Newa Editor A CHANCE FOR NEBRASKA Tfce defeat of Syracuae by Indiana last Saturday shows that even the eastern champions are not invincible. In indicates that the Oiange eleven has a weakness which, if the Cornhuskers can locate and over come it, may mean victory for Nebraska. The fall of the easterners on the first lap of their western jourjley. however, is dangerous to Nebraska's chances. Humbled in their first game, they are coming to Lincoln all the more determined to xia. The etlng of one defeat will take away the acute attack of overconfi dent for which the team paid the penalty at Indiana. Taking it all In all. the situation relative to the Thanksgiving game should give the Cornhuskers an even break. It ought to give Ne braska confidence, but not overconfidence. It means that the Orange will have to play the type of football which won the eastern cham pionship in order to triumph over the west. KEEPING ONE'S EQUILIBRIUM One of the marks of true greatness and real worth of an indivM ual Is the manner in which he receives honors which are thrust upou him by his associates. Many men and women who happen to re ceive some unusual honor or signal mark of attention from their associates lese their poise and begin to attribute qualities to them selves which make them think that they are really better than they are. They affect an air f superciliousness and snobbishness towards those ef their former acquaintance because of this fancied superiority of theirs. This Is especially true on a college eampus. Hardly a generation of students passes but what this same kind of thing is repeated in scores of instances. Students have honors thrust upon them or succeed to a particular class office, then suddenly become inflated with a sense of their own worth to the community. Many men, who ia the firBt year or two of their college career were thought of as good fellows by their classmates, lose the esteem of their Al lows because of this reason. The same thing is true in the case of certain women, who because of certain little traits in their personality become to receive more at tention here at college than they were accustomed to in their own home town, no longer accord the same little courtesies and considera tion to other folks as they were wont to do before they attained their popularity. Then some day comes the bitter awakening to the truth thai tney are not what they have seemed to themselves but mere humans and of a very mediocre type at that. Many individuals never come to re alize such a thing which is to their misfortune. Alter all the Individual who really counts Is the one who ooes not allow the events of the passing moment to tun his head and to overestimate his worth Purdue Exponent BUILDING FROM THE TOP DOWW One of the chief criticisms with the American educational systems is that they have been built from the top down instead of from the bottom up. The purely scholastic mind has been the goal rather than the practical mind so developed as to meet the ordinary problem- m everyday life. In the past the grade school curriculums have been ar ranged primarily to fit the pupil for the secondary or high school and the high school work has been mere preparation for college work. Too frequently the young man or woman graduated from college with high honors ia actually fitted for nothing except to teach that which is directly connected with the individual's educational experiences. It Is only in recent years that any progress haa been made ir. fit ting the student to meet the practical problem of life. Evea no there is much for improvement in. this matter and it la only fair to the teachers and professors to say that the blame lies largely with the parent and children. The idea of sending a young man to high school or college to make Mm a good workman, and subsequently, a better citizen, is eldom foremost In the parent's mind. America's colleges, broadly speaking, are filled with young men whose fathers were denied the opportunities of such an education and these fathers, hopmg 10 ,cive their sons advantage which they as young men did not have, unwittingly sent these son off to college to learn bow to be dandies, or at the best, master of certain branchea of human knowledge wnica are removed from everyday experiences by a chasm so broaC mat the average young man finds bis education virtually useless. Thi I not to disparage the study of science, philosophy, art and the other necessary subjects with which one must acquaint bimt-eif in order to recive a eoIJe diploma. But a whole chest of tools will not help a man build a boue if he does not know bow to use tue tool, and unless a jourg man or woman knows how to u?e the knowl edge obtained in the bolution of practical problems, the education Las no more value than any other luxury.
