History of Citizenship Schools in
Nebraska.
At the request of the Lincoln Suf
frage organization, the University of
Nebraska conducted a citizenship
school or institute in Lincoln during
the spring of 1920. This school cov
ered a period of six weeks. The
sessions took the form of weekly lec
tures. A similar school was held in
Omaha under the auspices of the
Omaha teachers. During the summer,
the new State League of Women
Voters conducted several schools
throughout Nfbrarka.
Believing that the Citizenship School
or Institute is the most effective
means of securing an intelligent mani
festation of interest by the citizens
of the state in the problems of gov
ernment, the League of Women
Voters, in October, requested the Uni
versity to establish a Citizenship
School as a part of the service of the
extension division. A number of
schools have been held in the state
during the year. Aming some of the
communities served are: Lincoln, Mil
ford, Bloomfield, Wausa, Cozad, David
City and Hastings. In addition to the
field director, several members of the
regular Instructional staff have lec
tured at the schools.
Plan of Institute.
Five sessions will be held during
the two days, and will be devoted to
lectures and conferences. As rapidly
and as thoroughly as may be done, in
the limited time, members of the Uni
versity faculty will give surveys of
the fundamentals of federal, state and
municipal government. For those who
wish to pursue these studies further,
the lecturers will supply reference
material.
Place of Meeting.
The sessions of the Institute will
be held in the auditorium of the So
cial Science building, on 12th street,
between II and S streets.
Registration.
All who attend the Institute are re
quested to register. An enrollment
fee of $1 is required. Admission will
be by ticket only. Registration may
be made in advance by filling out the
card on the perforated margin of the
program, and sending it to the office
of the extension division, room 201,
Temple building. University of Ne
braska, Lincoln.

MINERALS NECESSARY
FOR HOG RAISING
The most successful stock raisers
do not feed drugs of any kind to
healthy hogs. They do, however, keep
certain minerals before their hogs.
Wood ashes or charcoal, lime and salt
are used by many breeders and as a
rule supply the necessary minerals to
keep the animals in thrifty condition.
The state College of Agriculture says
charcoal can be obtained by burning
corncobs. Simply rake up a pile of
cobs in the hog pen and set fire to
them. When they are well charred
quench the fire with water. To make
the charcoal more palatable, salt may
be thrown on the fire before the
water, or salty water may be used.
If the chacoal is to be ground up
and used in a self-feeder with air
slaked lime and salt, no salt need be
used on the burning cobs. If no self-
feeder is used, the cobs may be raked
up and charred and left in the pen
for the hogs to help themselves. In
such case rock salt and lime should
also be placed in the pen. . Pigs re
ceiving plenty of milk and running on
alfalfa require less of the minerals,
but some should always be kept be
'ore them.
PROF. FOGG ADDRESSES
TWO COMMENCEMENTS
Prof. M. M. Fogg goes to Fullerton
today to give the high school com
mencement address this evening.
Thursday evening he will be the
speaker at the commencement exer
cises of the Wayne high school.
LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1921.
BREEDE TELLS
Hastings Newspaper Mn Speaks To
Press Club Prof. M. M. Fogg
Introduced Speaker.
Adam Breedo, editor and owner of
the Hastings Daily Tribune, and dur
ins the ewar a news correspondent in
the front-lino trenches, relating lil.i
harrowing experiences before the
University Press Club at its huu
meeting of tho school year, Tuesday
evening iti Room 11, Law Hall.
Tho speaker was inlroducocd by
Prof. M. M. Fogg, ln;ad of the Selioil
ofjournalism. In his introduction lie
told something of his work of a war
correspondent and of the severe btia'.n
under which they are required to
work.
The first person to visit and photo
graph tho grave of Quentin Roosevelt,
son of the late ex-president, after 111-.'
former h;id been shot down not l'p.r
from the enemy lines, Mr. Breedo told
how he picked a large bouquet of red
white and blue wild flowers, tied
them together with a bit of discarded
bandage, and placed them at the heaJ
of young Roosevclts grave. This hi
photographed and sen the plctuie to
Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt. This
was the first picture of the lads gravp
to be taken.
Narrow Escapes from Bombs.
Narrow escapes from bombs in the
heart of Paris showed that M".
Breede's position as correspondent
was far from one devoid of thrills.
Big German Berthas that burst in the
garden not far from the speaker's
hotel in Paris killed hundreds oi
people and demolished the fine;.'
edifices of the French capitol. Many
times cabs only a few feet from the
vehicle" in which Mr. Breede was riling
were hit and wrecked together with
their occupants. Some pieces of
shrapnel severed the belt of an Am
erican soldier us he was walking
along a street in Paris not far from
tho correspondent.
When Mr. Breede was writing ne-vs
stories of tln explosion? which oc
cvurred around him, he had to be
careful not to mention the names oi
the buildings destroyed and the Lum
ber of persons killed nnd wounded,
with their names. He had the dis
tinction of writing many aitic!e:i
which were published entirely without
a single word deleted by the censor

EXTENSION DIVISION PLANS
SERIES OF CONFERENCES
First Meeting is June 16-19 "Edu
cational Measurements"
Subject.
The University of Nebraska Ex
tension Division is planning a series
of conferences that will appeal to
patrons, parents, teachers, principals
and superintendents. The first will
take place June 16-19 in connection
with the Summer Session of the Uni
versity. The subject will be "Educa
tional Measurements." the topic to be
enlarged so as to include mental tests
and the standardization of educational
tests and measurements.
This is a field of study that is
engaging the best educational thought
of the day. It is so recent, that the
earliest investigations come within
two decades. Yet such progress has
been made that the whole field of
educational procedure is undergoing
a radical modification because of the
lesults already obtained.
The standardization of tests that
measure educational progress has
made rapid progress in the past de
cade. The development of mental
ests has been slower because the
earlier studies were limited to testing
Individuals. The wide use of group
tests has been one of the by-products
of the war. Moving swiftly because
of the extreme necessity of marshal
ing America's man power to the best
possible advantage as an instrument
of war, group tests were planned and
put into operation in such a way as
-i make the greatest single contri
Sution to military efficiency growing
out of the period of stress and strain
incident to America's participation In
the World War. By November 11.
1918, 1,726,966 men had been examined
and classified in such a way aH to
add beyond measure to the success of
their training for military purposes.
The same men who were so success
ful in devising group tests for mili
tary purposes, since leaving the army,
have turned their efforts toward the
use of similar tests for educational
ends. The studies Include the use of
intelligence tests for the classification
and promotion of pupils in all school
grades, including admission to high
schools and higher institutions. Tests
are being devised to aid In determin
ing vocational possibilities. An at
tempt is bei.ig made to economize
educational effort by forecasting
pupils' potentialities. Just as the
period of military training was
shortened by classifying soldiers ac
cording to their lines of possible

MRS. N. M. SCHOONMAKER
TO SPEAK AT INSTITUTE
She Has Had Considerable Experience
With Education in Citizen
ship in New England.
Mrs. Nancy M. Schoonmaker of
New York who is to be one of tl.t
sneakers at tho University of Nebraska
Citizen Institute under the supervision
of the Extension Division has Ieen
prominently connected with the mo ye
ment o women toward a larger
social and political expression, and
has' won fir herself a position of
wide popularity throughout the, coui
try. She was teducated at the histor
ical Transylvania University, with
special work at Harvard, Chicago,
and the Sorbonne. She has contri
buted fiction, drama and other papers
to current magazines.
As women turned to the matter of
enducation in citizenship, the stale
of Connecticut secured Mrs. Schocii
maker's services for the founding cf
and developing of thie first Citizeu
ship Department set up by any
womans organization in America. The
work of this department attracted so
much attention that Mrs. Sehoon
began to receive urgent calls for as
sistance from all over the toun'o.
Working in co-operation sometimes
with a state organization, sometimes
with a special civics cammittee, Mrs.
Schonmaker organized the New Eng
land states for this work, and became
Consulting Director1 of Citizenship
for Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Rhode Islan and Vermont. She also
made frequent tours through other
parts of the country.
As an appointed representative of
the two great American organisations
tho National League of Women Vol iei a
f.nd the General Federation of Wo
men's Clubs, comprising 4.500,000
members. Mrs. Schoonmaker will tour
Europe during the summer of 1921 fcr
the purpose of making a comparative
study of the legislation which tho
newly enfranchised women of the scv
eral countries have been supporting
GREAT INTEREST SHOWN
IN DRESSMAKING
A great deal or interest in home
dresmaking is developing among t'nj
women of the state. In several in
stances women members of farm
bureaus have asked the State Col
lege of Agriculture to conduct a sho-1
dresmaking school or otherwise ler.d
encouragement to those who wisli to.
do their own sewing. Recently the
College sent out a sewing spe:la'ist
to Holt county to demonstrate making
and using a home made dress form.
As a result fifty-five women In oro
community of that county are using
dress forms. At future meetings
short cuts in sewing and the use of
sewing machine attachments will be
demonstrated, and a dressmaking
school may be staged next fall or
winter. A three-days millinery school
in Madison county rsulted in eighty
home-made hats. In most instances
local merchants look with favor on
home dresmaking demonstrations and
schools, because they stimulate the
sale of dry gods. 1

KANSAS TAKES
FINAL GAME
Defeats Nebraska in the Last Game
of the Season With a
Score of 6 to 5.
POOR SUPPORT IS FATAL
Munger Pitched Good Ball But Did
Not Receive the Necessary
Backing.
The Huskers dropped'the final game
of the season yesterday by a 6 to 5
count to the Kansas Aggies. Ten
innings were required to determine
the final outcome. Munger pitched a
fine game for the Nebraska nine bin
poor support in the pinches turned
the tide of victory against the
Huskers.
The Kansas Aggies proved to have
a great ball team and one of the
fastest aggregations seen in action
here this year. Hewey pitched a
great game and his ability to deliver
the goods in the pinches was chiefly
responsible for his victory. The
Huskers had six errors chalked up
against . them while the Aggies made
only one bobble.
The Huskers opened up by putting
two counters across the plate in the
first inning. The Aggies tied the
count in the second and third innings
then the Nebraska nine went ahead
in the fourth putting two more runs
over the home plate. One more
counter was registered in the fifth
inning making the count 5 to 2. The
Aggies picked up and drove a run
across in the sixth, two in theeighth
tieing the score and the winning run
came in the tenth.
Hewey, the lanky Kansas pitcher,
drove out the only home run of the
game.
