IN DEFENSE OF EDUCATION. Bitter attacks on the American educational system are made from time to time by opponents of edu cation. These charges have been particularly directed against our universities and colleges. The critics f education declare that the results do not justify the vast burden of taxation on our citizens for educa tion. A majority of those people of col lege education would be happier and more worthwhile men and women without a degree, it is said. Col leges are charged with depleting the ranks of the craftsmen. The large percentage of college-trained men are mediocre in ability, and despite their education, have only mediocre success in life. Education makes many young folks snobbish and un democratic, unfitted to take their place in the American business and social world. Like all great institutions, the educational system is being per fected slowly. Mistakes are made constantly. But these mistakes are being corrected, and the institution is developing and perfecting itself Before the educational system will be perfected, certain advancements must be made. Education must, first of all, teach people more effectively how to live happier and in closer harmony with one another. Edu cation must be better controlled, so that scholastic efforts will be di rected into the right channels of en deavor. A more intelligent way of selecting those who are to receive the higher education must be in vented. Above all, education must find a way to develop the individual's ability to properly judge his own abilities, and to make him find a place in our civilization where he will lead a life of happiness and ac complishment. Even now education is proving the leading factor in America's great ness. New fields of science are being opened up and conquered. Litera ture is advancing atid perfecting it self, commerce is developing and progressing all through the work of education. The perfection of the educational system is going forward slowly. The goal may never be attained. But the achievements being made by educa tion are worth the sacrifices. Be cause of her great educational sys tem, America is now leading the world in culture and civilization, and has reached the highest pinnacle yet attained in he search for progress and human happiness. The Varsity Band at Michigan presented their annual concert for the students last week. At Indiana and other schools weekly or periodi cal programs are given by the uni versity band. Nebraska University bnd would do well to adopt some such program of activities. The presence of the band is great ly appreciated at rallies and games, and it is a pleasure to hear thern play "U-U-Uni," "The Hamburg Show," and other Husker pieces. Students and faculty alike, however, would also enjoy a real band concert now and then with a program of classical music and other features. Final exams are next week. At this time in periods of two hoars the student will be expected to demon strate his knowledge of each subject. For many students the final exams will be the occasion for "burning the midnight juice" and "cramming." In preparing for an exam, students often make the mistake of studying too hard the night before. They work until laie in the night, and their brain is muddled and fatigued the morning of the exam. It is often better for the student to not review so much and get a good night's rest before the exam. Then his mental faculties will work per fectly, and he will remember and reason better during the e:;am. The most effective review can often be accomplished early in th? mcrninsr, rather ihan -late at night. At night the student has all the thoughts of the day's activities fill ing his mind, and he cannot concen trate. In the morning, however, his mind is fresh and clear, and greater menial efficiency results. This week and next faculty mem bers will be extremely popular with a certain class of students. These students will go in and see this and that professor, explaining in the most convincing way they can the reason for their low standing in the course, une student win give strong reasons for not having secured bet ter grades '.i the test, another will expain it has been impossible to com plete this or that paper. Another student will drop in, with . some question as an excuse, ana labor earnestly to show the 'professor how interested he is in the subject. The student will ask his advice on this and that subject and "'play policy" in various ways, in order to better his grade in the course. Obviously this type of student is just working for a grade in the sub ject. He hopes that his lack of ap plication to his work will be out weighed by his clever policy-playing. Its good effects are at the best only temporary, and the evil effects are often permanent. Constant friendship, congenial ity, and cooperation between stu dents and faculty throughout the term is to be highly encouraged. The student will get more out of the course, faculty and students alike will have more respect and better understanding of one another, and mutual betterment will result. Xi Delta.
