THE JUNIOR COLLEGE
The establishment of junior col
leges, under the Rystem now in use
in a number of states, has been pro
posed in McCook, will be functioning
next fall is probable. 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

the University under Instructors of
note. 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.

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.
To college men end women potential leaders will
fall the duty of finding more and still more work
for electricity, with less and still less toil for our
workers. For the task is but begun!
