IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The question of the Bible in pub
lic schools is never settled. While
the national Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union is celebrating its prog
ress in placing Bible study in the
schools, the recently organized Sci
ence League, composed of leading
scientists, is launching a campaign to
combat the efforts of opponents of
the theory of evolution to prevent
instruction on that subject in public
schools and colleges.
One of the aims of the organiza
tion by the president of the Science
League, is to "Keep evolution in me;have found g0 far and beeause we !
schools and the Book or Uenesis it is the best , we shall
out." Some of the members dis- i. find.M. H. B. in Daily Cali-1
agree; they Deheve that 11 Doth sides fornjan
are given a chance the truth, pre
sumably the theory of evolution, will
hold its own.
The liberal views of these members
of the league who advocate instruc
tion both in the Bible and the theory
of evolution are surely the more de
sirable. But there is doubt of the wisdom
time for the date,, for the meeting
for something that will take us "from
the fireside." Sometimes we talk
about what we are doing; sometimes
we are silent. And the result is that
the family has every reason to say,
"We never see Willie and Mary now
that they've gone to college."
The conviction that we are indif
ferent and thoughtless and selfish is
helped by authors who went to col
lege ten years ago and who now feel
it their duty to tell the world about
the evils of modern college life and
the need for the "old-fashioned
home." Ministers find it part of
their business to tell mothers why
their children "neglect" them, and
persons who have never gone to col
lege think that stability and domes
tic peace will prevail if we will only
work eight hours a day.
The fact is that no one has con
sidered how much time college ac
tually takes and no one our fam
ilies last of all will deny our right
to the pleasures we may get from as
sociation with various groups (which
must meet) and the enjoyment of
parties we will soon grow tired of.
If the "Why Go Home" contest
would serve to convince these people
that students still talk and think
about home, it would have done
much to add to the peace of both the
young and the less young. The essay
would show that often the attention
put upon college by a student is the
result of a desire to please those who
are sending mm. ne is inspired 10

have won; college is the first step.
She may be gratifying her mother)
by a social and intellectual success
college is the present means.
And through it all runs the same
respect, the same affection for home
that young people ever have had.
The family is th efirst to hear of col
lege triumphs and the first to hear
us complain bout defeats. Instead
of questioning our loyalty to home
traditions, we need their faith in our
ability to succeed in college and their
understanding that we are people be
sides being their children. We go
home because it is the best place we
THE RADICAL UNDERGRADS
Alumni frequently disturb them
selves over the so-called "radical j
trend of some Dartmouth undergrad-:
uates. They fear the questioning
attitude, and seek to protect the Col
lege from the bogey of the "youth:

doctrines, outside of the church, un-j

INVENTION.
Contrary to the usual statement
that most of the important inventions
and discoveries have been made, are
recent announcement printed in the
daily press.
A university professor has perfect
ed a device for spraying clouds with
electrified sand from aircraft and so
dispelling them that there is no dan
ger to the aviator from that source.
A German alchemist announces
will be the "young
tuals" and the "old conservatives.
The "young intellectuals" of today.
1 are the old conservatives 01 w- j
morrow. There is a permanence in
the whole scheme which is lost sight :
of, until one forcibly recalls the
facts. Many a father tells his son, 1
when he returns home imbued with j
the crusading spirit, that it is only a j
"stage." He knows, because the im-
minent contact with the spirit ol
youth recalls his own radical days.
The Dartmouth believes that radi
calism is good for the College; for
what does radicalism mean, if not a
desire to get at the root of things?
It is this spirit of curiosity, the de
sire to know the fundamentals, that j
s so often misconstrued. The un-i

mercury into cold, although the j dergraduates of today are curious.
amount of gold yielded by a given
quantity of mercury is yet so small
that the process is not profitable.
A Swedish steamer enroute from
New York to Hamburg recently used
an anti-rolling device with such suc
cess that a usual roll of sixteen de
grees was cut to six degrees.
An Italian announces on the basis
of apparently authentic tests that he
has a device for the control of torpe
dos by radio that is immune to inter
ference. This invention will proba
bly make private wireless messages
possible, be points out.
There are yet many inventions to
be made. Any professor of science
or professional man can name a half
dozen problems that require better
solutions. The field of research for
college graduates is broad. And Ne
braska must secure an increase of the
physical plant of the University if
its research workers are to be on
equal terms with others.

"WHY CO HOME?"
There is so much said about stu
dents forgetting borne in their sel
fish interest in education an essay
contest sponsored by our critics
might be suggested the title being
"Why Go Home?"
The answers would undoubtedly
include the familiar "I go borne to
change my clothes before going some
place else, I go borne when every
other place shuts down," "I go borne
to save board bills," many frivolous
answers adopted t support the pop
ular tradition that be in college is to
be lost to mother and dad.
Of course our studies take time
and we most go to the library a few
eights in the week. We cannot go
home for lunch because there are
friends we may see only at the noon
boor. Ia the erenirg we sometimes
drift in for dinner and to wait till
That is why so much attention is
paid to the appearance of radical
speakers at Dartmouth. Attention to
such speakers is in no way an ac
ceptance of their ideas. Rather it is
curiosity, the same curiosity which
has attracted the attention of stu
dents in all countries and at all times
to speakers who voice opinions con
trary to those of the majority. Un
dergraduates without the instinct of
curiosity would be a sorry lot. The
outside world need not worry over a
frank expression of curiosity in a
desire to learn. The application of
any radical ideas garnered in col
lege will be difficult enough, with
out ending those ideas by squelching
process. The Dartmouth.
