Beaumont SENNIN6 TALKS TO FRESHMEN Addresses Lecture Class On Problems of Popular Government. SAYS ORGANIZED RULE IS NEED OF SOCIETY "Government is as essential to state and society as food and cloth ing is to the individual," said Pro fessor J. P. Senning in his talk on "Some Problems of Popular Govern ment," before Arts and Science freshmen Monday ad Tuesday. Professor Senning explained gov ernment by means of an analogy. "Take the word religion. It makes you think of a church at once. The church is the means of making re ligion effective, while religion itself is an ideal. Everyone has some re ligion and has somewhat the same ideal and deals with ones self, gov ernment is an ideal and deals with a group. For instance, the United States government deals with the United States, and the government of Nebraska has to do with this state only. "When the church is reorganized, the whole religion is not changed. In the same way the changing of Con gress; the courts, or executive or ganization is not the changing of the government Government is suppose ed to do the greatest possible amount of good for the greatest number of people, and changes are merely to improve the machine.' Mr. Senning questioned the state ment that man is a political animal. He said man has social relations with his fellow beings, and next came the political instinct Wherever a group of men are found, there is always the instinct to keep order. When ever this makes a public appearance, it is called political. This instinct has been present since the first man set foot on the earth. It was illustrated on the black board that from one person ruling a country, a change had been made so that a great number have a hand in the government With this change of power came a change m purpose, "Government was once thought to be a means of conquest, of extend ing power and of preserving order in society," the speaker continued. "This was called individualism, and gave the people as much freedom as possible. "When different social changes were made and cities and industries began to develop, different demands were made of the government, and it took over a new burden. This new function was called 'paternal ism.' and the ruling power took it upon itself to help weaker people. (Continued on rage inree.) Classroom Articles persons producing them and were written as regular classwork. The two articles bringing the best prices were accepted at once by the first maga zines to which they were offered. "I never hold out to students the idea of making money particularly, Hhnncrh havinar to do real job and winning a little success along the way is a powerful stimulus," said itoi. K. P. Crawford in discussing the results of the work. "Success in article writ ing consists largely in being able to know a good story when oire sees it, in learning how to put it up in at tractive shape, and how to go about selling it Many people fail because of a lack of persistence.'' No evening course is being offered this year, although a day course cov ering the same subject matter meets at 11 o'clock Tuesdays and Thurs days at the Agricultural College.
