SLIPSHOD TRAINING
When the elementary nrul high
schools of the lulled States thorough
ly prepare their students for college,
then, perhaps, the colleges of the
country can consider reducing the col
lege course to three years.
President Marry Pratt Judson, of
the University of Chicago, says the
educational system of today is too
repetitious, that the actual collegs
work could he covered in three years,
lit another of our editorials we took
the view that all of the work now
piven in colleges was "necessary, and
that a full four years' course was
necessary to digest the book work rind J thorn to write easily and grainatirallv
obtain a liberal education in the so
cial and human side of life.
All of the work now given in the
four years is necessary because, of
the insuftlclent preparation provided
by our elementary and ,hlgh school
systems. We allow Mr. Judson's
point that the actual college work
could be covered easily in three
years' time.
It should not be necessary to force
every student to take n course in
English composition, and it is sur
prising how few students know any
thing at all about composition. Most
of them have an insufficient founda
tion iu English grammar and a toon
limited reading knowledge to permit I
Most students do not know K,,nt
infinitive from n substantive clause
Tea few are the students who ilve
obtained any advantage from tlioir
high school history courses. They re
member history as a blur of dates and
dry fucts. They were not taught to
think. In the same way their train
ing in mathematics, language and si i
ence has been insufficient.
The average student oil' coming to
college lias two things to learn. Ho
must learn to tudy and he must
learn to think. Until he has learned
to do these things he must take
courses which are in the main repe
titions of his high school work. Indi.

TOO STRENUOUS ADVERTISING
Nebraska students at the K. O. T.
('. camp at Fort Snelling have taken
it upon themselves to enthusiastically-
;nl viii ise the University of Ne
braska. The effort is much worth
while provided it does not overstep
the line of good judgment.
V.,. 1,..tl,.l tll.t 1i-ti lit (hp I
school vear, a statement in the Kai-iQ
sas News Letter "We Own the Val
ley" In ought forth a hot and snappy
Mory from the Daily Nebraskan and
resulted in no more advertising of
sin h a strenuous nature from tlio
Jayhawk followers.
Kansas does not "own the valley";
but neither does Nebraska. Students
at the II. O. T. V. camp at Snellin,;
should beware that they do not ;ut
iuilly in their efforts to outdo the rep
resentatives of other Valley school;,,
lornhusker students IH THINK that
Nebraska is the Valleys best, but
they know that Nebraska does NOTj
own the Vallev". Sane thinking Xe-
1
braskans will make no such state
i.;ent. Hotter that Coruhuskers let
thing:- take a natural course ana un-
onestionablv prove that Nebraska is
the best in the Valley than to make A
l..of tl,.t V.!ir-Kl!i "owns tht V:l- U
ley". Students at Snelling should be
careful not to create a nuisance by
their over-enthusiasm. Prove to the
representatives of the other schools jP
that Nebraska is the best, but do it .Q
in silent terms.
FAREWELL FIRST SESSIONERS
Wth t!ie close t '-"morrow of the :
tirst session of the summer school. ajS
coodlv number of students will h ave A
tor their homes and vacation outings.
A new crop will come in to take their
places while a large number of the
tirst termers will continue throngh-
out the second session. ft
The university bids farewell to'Q
those who leave. It regrets thai theyj
:o not stay throughout the summer. jN
1'iit it feels gratified at the honor be-k
stowed on it by their choii e of Ne- j v
iraska over other schools. It hopes IO

working to get others from your home
to come to Nebraska. May the uni

students. The university will always
welcome you back and bids you much
