The colleges will give instruction in the first two years of college work. The faculties will be small, ranging from three or four up to any required number. The building of the high school in ench town will be used and the teachers in the college will probably also carry on some instruction in the sen ior high school. The cost of the school will be paid entirely by the municipality. The student body will number about 100. The junior college is not new, as tha plan has been tried in a number of states, notably California and Iowa. In Kansas about a dozen jun ior colleges exist. The plan has been very successful, according to a member of the Nebraska faculty who has made some study of it The establishment of the junior college has been due to a number of things: overcrowding in state universities, the desire to allow students to stay at home and thereby lessen the cost of their education, the belief that they will do better work if still under the parental influence and they work in smaller groups. The success of the system in Ne braska is uncertain. It has some ad vantages and disadvantages, and in our opinion the latter outweigh the former. In such small schools it will be difficult to attract the proper type of instructors; the duplication of effort will be great and the re sultant expense enormous. With a faculty1 of two or three it is hard to believe that the instructors will be qualified to teach the diversified subjects the students will require The many small colleges will prob ably be more expensive, per capita, than the larger institutions. The junior colleges, we think, will be in danger of becoming merely glorified high schools with all the poor instruc tion and other faults that high schools are usually heir to. A more sensible plan, in our opin ion, and one that might utilize some of the advantages but minimize the faults of the junior colleges, would be to convert the present state nor mal schools into junior colleges. With these as the basis, and the ad dition of one or more others, junior college instruction might be given in a half dozen places in the state, with the university at Lincoln restricted to instruction for the las,t two years and for graduate work. These junior colleges would be made up of small groups ranging from about five hun dred to one thousand. They would be large enough to offer good in struction but would have the advan tages of relieving congestion at the university and lessening, to some ex tent, the cost of education for the student The students who survived the first two years and came to the University for the last two would probably be those who had a genuine desire for an education. Their spe cialized training could be taken at m - u 0 ' E1 a- Yonr whole orchestra can toavel cbaapar and keep mora engagement with lorn lost time by ranting Saunders System cars.

John Hopkini University, which ii ranked among the best in the nation, uses this plan with (Treat success. Some change in the present method of college education is likely for state universities everywhere are becoming; so large as to be unwieldy. What the change will be no one can predict, but the junior college system may present the best remedy. A LITERARY PUBLICATION Litcrnry magazines of real merit are published by a number of univer sities in the country in which space is given for the contributions by the students and members of the faculty, They encourage the development of literary talent and arouse an inter est in literature. The University of Nebraska has had no such magazine in the past, other than the literary supplement to The Nebraskan which was publish ed Inst year. This supplement, though it contained work thnt was excellent, aroused no great interest, chiefly, wo believe, because a liter ary supplement to a collego daily is hiirdly the proper organ. To be successful, we think, the development of literary activity must bo through a magazine devoted in the main to that purpose. Maga zines of this sort arc the Vagabond of the University of Indiana, and the Archive of Duke University, both excellent periodicals. The establishment-of such a mag azine on the Nebraska campus, if fi nancially possible, would be valuable. The Awgwan, long a purely humor ous publication, has this year as sumed to some extent the character istics of a literary magazine and the change has been meritorious. The establishment of a literary journal, or the development of the Awgwan along literary as well as humorous lines, should be fostered by those, students who are interested. Ten Years Ago Charles F. Horner, an alumnus of the University of Nebraska, founder of the Redpath-Horncr Chautauqua and Lyceum bureau, was given the financial responsibility of managing the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra concerts. The Intercollegiate Prohibition So ciety began its widespread campaign. Ice skating was the newest winter sport held at Electric Park. The ice was flooded every night and the ad mission was ten cents. Prof. G. W.

Work without Toil Ten or twelve hours a day toils the coolie. If he carries all he can, he moves one ton one mile ia one day. For that he receives twenty cents. Cheap labor! Yet compared with our American worker, receiving at least twenty-five times as much for an eight-hour day, the coolie is expensive labor. In America we move one ton one mile for less than one cent. The coolie, working by hand, accomplishes little; while the American, with electricity's aid, accomplishes much. Plenty of electricity and cheap electricity these are , two great advantages which America enjoys over the rest of the world. While our present gener ating capacity is 20,600,000 kilowatts, new develop ments call for 3,000,000 kilowatts more per year.
