' Following is the text of the sddress given by Lester B. McCoun, a mem ber of the Christian Science commit tee of Nebraska, which he delivered before the annual session of the Ne braska Press Association, Friday, on the subject "Clean Journalism and Organised Newspaper Reading in the Homes and Schools:" "I believe the true value of any publication is determined by the ex tent to which it cooperates in bring ing out the high ideals of our three greatest institutions, which are Christianity, our homes where purity, culture and refinement prevail, and our well-conducted schools. I re gard newspapers as important fac tors in this great educational system, and the dispensing of news as conse quential only in so far as serving to advantage there. It seems to me that any agency, whether it be a news paper, a government, or ought else. cannot hope to endure in our en lightened land in disagreement with the high ideals of the three great in stitutions on which we rely for up- Y.W.C. A. Staff to Have Chinese Tea The Grace Coppock slaff of the Y. W. C. A. will entertain at a Chinese Tea at Ellen Smih Hall on Tuesday from 3 to 4:30 o'clock. After the tea at 5 o'clock there will be regular vesper services with a missionary from China as the speaker. The tea and vespers are a sort of preliminary to the Grace Coppock Drive which wUl begin in a few weeks. All Uni versity women are cordiaUy invited to attend. RIFLE TEAII SCORE REACHES HIGH HARK Shooters Increase Record 36 Points for Four-Positions. Nebraska rifle shooters climbed up into the 3600 class in the third week of intercollegiate rifle shooting. The team score was 3604 points for the four positions, an increase of thirty six over the week before. The firing was against Creighton University at Omaha; Wafford College, at Spar tenburg, S. C; and Pennsylvania Military Academy, Chester, Penn. D. P. Roberts and Walter LammU tied for first place, each making a total score of 370, the highest made this season. Roberts' mark wi was ranked first officially because he led in the standing position which determines in case of a tie- Following the two leaders closely was R. M. Currier who fired 369. Dale Skinner, firing for the first time tlii year, was third with 368. A race for perfect scores in the prone positions developed in the lat ter part of the week. Two perfect targets of 100 were made in the in tercollegiate shooting, and one other in the corps area match. Mark Fair started the perfect shootinr Wednesday, and a few hours later Dale Skinner duplicated the feat on the first official target he fired this season. Thursday. W. L. Plotta fired the third 100 prone of the season on a corps area match tareet. Dale Skinner by placing third for the week crowded out Mark Fair from a piece on the ten-high team. Fair's total score was four points too small to qualify in spite of the 100 be made in t1 prone position. Skinner was a regular member of the squad last year, but this year be has put in most of his time with the wrestling squad of which be is cap tain. Be wiU probably fire with the team regularly in the future. Two exceptional! good targets in the standing position were fired by D. P. Roberts and G. Dunkle. Both of them made 91. a score that is good for the average shooter in the prone position. Almost all the corps area shooting has been completed, and the marks made are better than those made last year. More practice with registered targets la the regular weekly inter collegiate match sheeting has prob- building of morals and sound character. "Let us see if there are adequate reasons for systematic reading of good publications in the homes. There was a time in this country when it was the custom for members of a family to gather about a table in the evenings, and there listen to the read ing of books, nwspspers, anl other periodicals. The newspapers were largely weekly publications, confined almost entirely to local news, and the contents of the scant libraries may have been well known to each member -ef the respective families. But what they read was discussed; it was talked sbout by those who loved and trusted each other and who safe guarded those homes. There, prompt ed by topics suggested by the read ing matter, parents and grandparents i l r gave the conclusions uenvi-a uum their own successes and failures, and by the same means they were assist ed in becoming acquainted with the unfolding thoughts of their children There, with literary facilities which would be regarded today as quite in complete, sterling qualities possesed by some of our great men and wo- ( Continued on Page Two.)

The annual Shakespearian produc tion of the University Players, "Much Ado About Nothing,'' was presented at four performances Thursday, Fri day and Saturday at the Temple the ater. Some of Shakespeare's most clever lines were delineated in an exception al msnner, acording to the report of seasoned playgoers. The love affair between Benedick and Beatrice, nlaved bv Hart Jenks and Delia Weatherhogg, a delightful comedy in itself, wss thought to be very well done. The near tragedy befalling Claudio and Hero, welt-nigh ruining and ter minating their romance as a result of the evil neiifitng of Don John, was weU brought out. Edward Tay lor, as Dogberry, the bead constable, in his inimitable way, furnished com edy for a thousand bouses by his mis use of words. AU students in the University will be given opportunity to aid in the securing of such statistics throughout Wednesday classes. Instructors will be furnished with sets of questions, and beginning with eight o'clock classes will request those members of their classes who have not yet an s we red the questions to do so. There will be no method whereby the answers turned in by any student wiU be able to be identified by those checking over the answers. No pub licity wiU be given to individual an swers. All information will be taken from the total number of answers turned in. Although no students are forced to aid in the taking of such statistics, all are urged to do so. Sim ilar questionnaires have been circu lated among students in other univer sities with great success. The Questions t nselves wfll not be circulated among the student body. Instructors will read the questions. and students will write the answers on blank sheets of paper. In order that students wOl be familiar with the questions and wfll be able to make out their answers, the questions will be printed in this issue. Adherence to the numbering system is urged, for ease in checking. AU answers wfll be turned in to instructors, who win in turn leave the answers at the office of the Regis trar. Compilation of the sheets will be begun at once, and the results an nounced as soon as possible. The questions follow: 1. Are you entirely supported by parents and friends? 2. Are you wholly or partially self supporting? A- Wholly self sup porting?
