notebook." Is he not rather dog
matict He condemns without a tinge
of remorse the system that has prov
ed successful in scores of colleges.
No one can deny that some men
go through collego every year who
pass teste by cramming notebooks
and old examination papers. It h'.s
always been done so, and it always
will be. What is going to prevent it?
Not the abolition of the lecture sys
tem. Students will take notes, and
search for old examination papers
as long as there are students.
But is that a reason for calling
futile the system by which many re
ceive a real education? The aver
age graduate who takes a good
degree will not assent. Ho may have
crammed old notes; in all probability
ho did, but ho would have done that
under any system. He has also look
ed at education through spectacles
other than those of an instructor.
The modern professor places as much
weight on the student's outside study
as he does on familiarity with the
subject-matter of his own lectures
and the prevalence of monthly tests
in the avcrnge college preclude any
excessive amount of "guess where
and memorize."
And is the expression "mass pro
duction system of education" a fair
description? In America, at any
rate, the remedy for this lecture
system would of necessity bo a re
turn to something of the form of
school classes, where homework is
inspected, and junt enough instruc
tion is provided from dny to day to
enable the student to advance in his
efforts at home. The modern uni
versity plan gives the undergraduate
more leeway than the New Student
evidently would allow. Our un
dergraduate demands home freedom.
jThe lecturer places him on his own.
He can sink or swim, for his career
depends upon himself alone.
And the result of this measure of
trust is that he does considerably
more real work than he would if he
were required to turn in daily
homework for correction, and little
more. The usual schoolboy consid
ers his duty ended when he does his
task well enough to pass his master's
inspection. The undergraduate
knows his fate rests with himself.
He can go to a lecture and "mechan
ically record facts", or not, as the
inclination takes him, but he knows
that he will be expected in his ex
amination to hand back, not the pro
fessor's remarks in a new form, but
evidence of real thought, amplified
and explained by the results of hia
own individual effort

Appoint Dr. Clapp to Publish Rules
Of Collegiate Athletic Association
Dr. Clapp, wrestling coach, return
ed yesterday from New York, where
ho has been attending a meeting of
the National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation. Dr. Clapp was appoint
ed to publish the new rules and the
changes in the national rules of ama
teur wrestling. These rules are used
to govern the meets in the Missouri
Valley.
Among the main changes in the
regulations is the change time limits.
In the championship meet the time is
fifteen minutes, while the dual and
preliminary matches are ten minutes.
There is now a three pound weight
allowance in the classes. The scor
ing this year is as follows: in the
championship, four poinJs for a first,
two points for a second, and one for
third place.
Decisions in the time will) not be
judged by the time the opponent
is brought to the mat as much as by
the general aggressiveness of the
contenders, and the general ability
of the wrestler. In the time deci
sion a time of at least a minute is
necessary and the referee may force
the mr.tch to an extra period.
In dual meets the scoring is, five
points for a fall and three for a
time decision. The following holds
were formerly barred but are now
permissablc! double wrist lock and
double arm bar above head.

The engagement of "Blossom
Time" at the Orpheum Theater Sat
urday matinee and night, should
prove one of the most popular
amusement events of the current
season, as the operetta is a prime
favorite here, and the entirely new
cast this year will be an added at
traction. Mary Powell is said to be
an ideal "Mitzi," as she possesses
both beauty, voice and figure. Ar
thur Hudson does not have to report
to the wig-maker's skill for his make
up, as he has a head of bushy black
hair and bears a striking resem
blance to "Schubert." the master
composer, around whom the story is
woven. Mr. Huson is gifted with a
wonderful baritone voice. William
Sellery will have the role of "Kranz"
made popular here in the past by
"Teddv" Webb, but as Mr. Sellery
has a comedy vein all of his own,
he will surely win his audience lor
his own interpretations. Lillian
Wagner will be the Bella Bruna, and
she is said to be a beautiful woman
and a clever actress. All the other
parts will be played by New York
artists, and a group of young and
lovely girls will take part in the en
semble as dancers and show girls.
The quaint costumes of the period
when Schubert lived in Vienna are
most attractive, and all will be fresh
and charming as they are new this
season. The scenery has been re-
naintcd bv the original artists. The
large orchestra will be under the, di
rection of Ted Coleman. Seats are
selling so rapidly for the two per
formances that prospective patrons
would do well not to wait too long
before making sure of their reser
vations. ADV.
