A REPLY TO MR. BLANSHARD. J
In the Student Opinion column of
this morning's Daily Nebraskan there
appears a letter in refutation of the
charges made by Paul Blanshard, in
the current number of The Nation,
in regard to the R. O. T. C. unit at
the University of Nebraska. In the
interests of fairness it should be
pointed out that the sentiments ex
pressed by the writer t the letter
concerning the R. 0. T. C. are prob
ably the sentiments of a majority of
the students on the campus.
pulsory not a hundred Nebraska men
would drill if it were not for other
inducements. Sounds like that an
cient crack to the effect that if we
had some pretzels we would have
pretiels and beer, if we had. some
beer.
For that matter, military science
is not the only course offered in this
school which would suffer in attend
ance if such attendance were not re
quired. Nebraska is criticised be
cause her R. 0. T. C. regiment has
rlistin swished rating with the War
Department and is proud of it Why
shouldn't she be proud? Some of
us were rather glad that there were
some grained men in this country way
back In 1917.
Neither Mr. Blanshard nor his arti
cle will be likely to create much of a :
stir in this University or in any other,
but the sob of sauad is always at I
work, and it might be well for some
of the organizations on this campus,
who spend a great deal of their time
in bemoaning the fact' that they do
not receive the student support to
which they are entitled, to realize
that if .they devoted more of their
energy to building up the University
and less of it in importing pacifists
and radical propagandists to slander
the University, they would subject
themselves to much less criticism.

And I also think of an editor I know
who does not have his own publics
tion in his own home for a similar
reason. So lonir as there is conflict
between our homes and our liters
ture, so long as the trend of some of
our publications is to debase the
minds of those who read them, just
so long will such be unwelcome for
systematic home study, and an inv
portant need will be neglected corres
pondingly.

the views of Prof. Grant M. Hyde, of
the University of Wisconsin, who
recommends that newspaper reading
be studied in every high school and

WASHINGTON'S P RARER
On the occasion of Washington's
birthday it is fitting to reprint in this
column a prayer which the first
president of the nation is said to
have given for the welfare of his
country. This prayer is one seldom
included in the biographies and col''
lections of writings of Washington
and is of special interest for that
reason. It is ofter. used as a part
of the chapel service at George
Washington University. The prayer
follows:
Almighty God: We make our earn
est prayer that Thou wilt keep the
United States in Thy holy protec
tion; that Thou wilt incline the
hearts of the citizens to cultivate a
spirit of subordination and obedience ing
men were developed. It seems un
necessary to add that many of those
homes exercised great care in the
selection of literature to be perused
there. One look backward to the old
time reading table, a brief considera
ation of the accomplishments of early
American leaders, and we readily
perceive we are too frequently omit
ting one of our greatest opportuni
ties for right training, vis: System
atic attention, in our homes and else
where the good literature available.
"Today, when the inclination to
look away from the home for amuse
ment, recreation and information is
all too pronounced, the publishers of
our literature may well 'consider
whether they are actually co-operating
with our good home influences
for the betterment of mankind. And
I declare, with no unkind thought for
any, that too many of our newspa
pers are influenced by considerations
not in aecori! with the aims of our
typically good American homes to be
made use of for systematic reading
within the family circle. Solomon
said, "Better is little with righteous
ness than great revenue without
right." Instead of competing with
good Jiome influence, newspapers
should cooperate with them in direct-
the attention of all within the
to government; and entertain a homes to pure and high ideals. If
brotherly affection and love for one in our homes we are to have intelli
another and for their fellow citizens 'gent, thoughtful attention to the es
of the United States at large. And.sential happenings of the day, we
finally that Thou wilt most gracious- must have newspapers which com-
ly be pleased to dispose us all to do mand our respect and welcome.
"Who would suggest to children or
others the use of one of our average
daily newspapres as a means for op-
justice, to love mercy and to demean
ourselves with that charity, humility
and pacific temper of mind which
were the characteristics of the Di
vine Author of our blessed religion
and without a humble imitation of
whose example in these things we
can never hope to be a happy na
tion. Grant our supplication, we be
seech Thee, through Jesus Christ our
- Lord. Amen.

To the Editor r,t The Daily Nebras
ka; A recent visitor at the University
of Nebraska has burst into print with
a 'training denunciation of the R. 0.
T. C. system in operation in the Uni
versity of Nebraska and many other
large institutions of learning in the
United States. The horrible effect
of militarism upon the students of
this University was drawn upon ex
tensively by the author to illustrate
his point. Our R. O. T. C. unit was
attacked viciously and branded as
damnable in every sense of the word.
I am in no official capacity a defen
der or an apologist for the Reserve
Officers Training Corps of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, but when such
an article is reprinted and distribut
ed about the campus with a note
which states that the pamphlet was
paid for by THE students of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, then any stu
dent is entitled to criticise.
I drilled in the R. O. T. C. for two
years and attended one summer camp
at Fort Snelling, and although no
fair co-ed ever pinned a medal on
my breast, I feel fully repaid for the
tfcae and effort which such training
entailed. The op! cvi1 consequence
which resulted in my orn case, to
which even Mr. Blsnshard could ob-
iect, was sincere admiration for the
motives and methods of those army
officers with whom I came in con
tact.
Mr. Blanshard, who got more 'free
publicity in the columns of The Daily
Nebraskan during his visit here than
the second coming of the Messiah
would ever receive, says thft a stu
itzit to!d him that if it were not com-

. which ever way you prefer to gay it suits us what we're trying to ar
gue about is the fact that to be well dressed to possess that chic ap
pearance which evrey girl so desires one simply has to have all the
grace notes (accessories) dictated by Fashion that harmonize with her
costume. Now then, is there anyone present who is brave enough to
say that accessories don't make the costume?
You'll find much pleasure in selecting Grace Notes from Rudge &
Guenzel's and greater pleasure in wearing them for they give har
mony to the costume and assurance and confidence to oneself which
can be attained only by wearing accessories which complete and har
monize with one's costume.
