SPEAKS
ABOUT
SHANTUNG
Convocation Lecturer Emphasizes Irtl
portance of this Chinese
Province.
"TELLS OF IDOL WORSHIP
Points Out Inconceivable Development
of Oriental State in Last
Fifty Years.
Dr P. O. Hanson talked at Con
o-
ie
..n Timsdav morning on "Th
I'ilLlW" .
Shantung Question." His talk w
as
informal and (luestlons we
ro
. i..i iv inmp of his audience.
lir. Hanson in the beginning of his
talk emphasized the importance of tho
Chinese province, Shantung, in com
pariHon with the other pronvinces.
He says that Shantung stands out
China with much greater prominence
than any state in the union does
the United States.
in
The Chinese for centuries have been
heathens. They worship great moun
-a i ti a nr VAST, strength. For a while
lUlliu - -
they would take a rock from
mountain they worshipped, place on
it an inscription with the name of th
mountain, take it home with them an
nd
place it in the wall of Jheir home
or
the wall around their lot. They felt
this would bring them good luck. The
language of the people is full of pro
verbs referring to this mountain and
its strength
Something of the history of Shan
tung in the possession of the Germans
and also while it was in the possession
of the Japanese was discussed.
The almost Inconceivable develop-
ment of Shantung and all China in the
past two years or so is a thing which
only an eye witnes can make believe
able. China Is doing in fifty years
what it took America and other coun
trios thousands of years to do. They
did not have to go through a period of
invention. They have recently started
ir. their factories, industries and
school systems with the last word in
the science of the work, borrowed
f:-om the study and Invention of Amer
lea. All this rapid development Is due
entirely to the work of missionaries
Dr. Hanson has worked in China
for seventeen years and is familiar
with his subject. He is a graduate of
the University of Minnesota.

N' A- BenEston, professor of google
1 ) . 1.1 in....
phy and conservation, gave an illua
truted lecture to tho freshmen lect
ure class Tuesday morning on "Hon
duras." Honduras is a country in the north
eastern part of central America and
is about four-sevenths teh area of Ne
braska, it has less than half thu
population ot Nebraska. The surface
of this country is quite rough caused
by mountains and volcanoes.
Professor Bengston has traveled
through most of this country, and
many of tho slides that accompanied
his lecture were taken by him and his
party as they went through this very
unique country. One of the slides
showed the hotel in which he stayed.
It was a low brick structure resemb
ling very much a stable. This appear
ance was emphasized by a cattle yari
which the dining orom of the hotel
opened into. Many of the houses of
the interior. of the country were made
of solid adobe walls with tile roof
other warmer houses were made of
straw with thatched roofs. Some
times when fresh air was especially
desired or, maybe, when the Inhabit
ants were too lazy to build walls the
houses consisted of four poles covered
by a thatched roof.
In a village which was shown on th j
ccreen Professor Bengston said there
were no wells in the village nor was
there a sewerage system. The only
health officers and street cleaners
were the buzzards and hawks.
The vegetation of Honduras is fine
and ednse. In some of the lowland
jungles it is necessary to cut through
in order to pass. The most common
trees are the banana, orange, mango,
cocoanut palm, ceibaand and Guana
caste trees.
Central America does more export
ing and importing with the United
States than any other country. We
get coffee, bananas, gold and silver In
large quantities. There is a great deal
we should do for this country for it is
a promising field.
Menorah Society.
The Menoram Society will hold an
important meeting Sunday, May 1, in
Faculty Hall, Temple, at 8 p. m. A ta.k
will be given on the Jews, their lift,
and importance under the Moors ami
during the middle ages. All members
are requested to be present. Every

ADVOCATES A SYSTEM OF
NEBRASKA STATE PARKS
Doctor Wolcott Thinks That Move
Should Be Made Now Before Land
Values Rise Too High.
A system of state parks for Ne
braska is strongly advocated by Dr.
Robert II. Wolcott, head of the depart
ment of zoology. Dr. Wolcott is one
of the national commission for the
preservation of natural life and forest
parks in the United States.
"Many states," he said, "are now
establishing systems of state parks
and Nebraska should not be behinJ
hand in this matter. Tracts naturally
adapted to serve as parks are being so
changed as to be no longer suitable,
land is rising in value, and the need
is rapidly increasing, while it takes
many years to develop such areas.
The general use of the automobile has
has rendered acute, not only the neces
sity of good roads, but of a park sys
tern as well, and has changed the
establishment of parks from a matter
of municipal, or even local concern, to
one of state-wide Importance. Care
fully selected parks, well cared for,
are as effective an advertisement for
the state, as are good roads, fine
farms, imposing factories, beautiful
nnhiic buildings, and well-planned and
well-built towns and cities these al'.

and a standard of living which makes

Parks perform many functions; (li

when the state was young, (3) lur

REGENTS OPPOSED
TO SINGLE TAX
Unless the regents change their
minds the University can not have th.
compulsory single tax next yiar.
A number of regents have said tl.a;.
since tho legislature passud Hie law n
ducing student fees to a pro-war basis
they think the compulsory singlo tax
cannot be put into effect next y.-ar.
Chancellor Avery said that whiio h.
did not believe the law could leg;ill
prohibit the institution of the compul
sory single tax he thought it would
be unwiso to take such a sb-p. 11
thought it would not meet the approval
of tho legislators and would antagonize
them.
Dean Engberg very carefully di:.tin
guishod between the compulsory sing'u
tax and the voluntary single tax. The
voluntary singlo tax, he said, is in im
way affected by the legislative ruling.
