LESS THAN FOURTH OF STUDENTS' DEBTS PAID Contrary to tho expectations of mnnncromont of tho stadium tliu drive, payments on pledges are .fall Ing off at tho last of tho wcok rather than Increasing. -Today Is tho last day, and up to yesterday noon sttt donts had mado a miserable failuro of tho affair, officials said. Less than one-fourth of tho $18, 000 owned by University men and women has boon paid. Payments took a little jump Wednesday and Nebraska stadium stock wont up a few points. Tho management cheor ed up, and hopes of a rather success ful drive wero high. But now payments havo nearly stopped and even some stud6nts who had kept up with their first payments havo stopped coming In with checks. Business at tho booth on tho campus Is dull, with little hope of an increaso today. Will Make Personal Canvass Tho personal solicitation drive In the only hope of recovery, and It Is hoped that It will bo a success. It will bo in charge of tho Innocents and begin week after next. Nebraska, unliko several other large schools, built her stadium Im mediately after pledges wero made rather than waiting until tho actual money was in the treasury. Illinois for instance, waited until tho first installment was paid, and then paid contractors for that much work. If Nebraska had used thisplan not ono section could not have been construc ted by this time. Complete figures for the drivo will be given out from the alumni office in a few days, showing who paid, and the percentage of tho total amount recnived, A full list of those who are paid up will be compil ed, and published in The Dally Ne braskan and two Lincoln papers about May 1.

In speaking on the "Law of Agri culture," President Farrell . declared "We can't get figs from thistles in farming any more than in spiritual life. With very few exceptions, we get what we deserve for our efforts. All activities are controlled by the laws of nature and economics. We all do try to evade them though we know in our heart that we are cer tain to fail. "Bad farming results as disas trously as bad banking. We must observe the laws." In conclusion the speaker stated that "It is well for all ) of us to recognize that life in many respects is a hard game, that the laws that control us and which con trol life are coldly impersonal."

Congdon, Supernitendent Water house of the Fremont city schools was the speaker of the evening. The speaker emphasized the idea that teachers should be non-professionally gregarious and also outlined what ho considered most necessary of both sexes. The speaker stated that he expect ed a man to have an outlook beyond the school room, that he be mascu line in his ways, and be able to asso ciate with the boys in the school in an understanding and sympathetic . manner. He pointed out that a male teacher should be neat in his dress without being fastidious and should attempt to be something of an ex ample for the students under him. For the woman teacher, he stipu lated that she be able to strike a com promise between the scdatencss of the traditional teacher and the "sometimes near social abandon" of the college woman. She should have such association with her pupils as would be helpful to them without a degeneration into undue familiarity. In the class room, Superintendent Waterhouse desired his teachers to lead pupils to realize that however important the knowledge1 acquired is, tie process of acquiring and the real significance of the knowledge acqui red is vastly more important He also explained that it was very pos sible to do teaching which was self satisfactory but which did riot in struct the pupils who received it
