CULTURE
The following contribution to culture
was gleaned from the columns of The
Daily Calif ornian:
Class distinciton is decidedly
pronounced at Penn State Col
lege, as is evidenced by the rul
ing that only seniors may go
bareheaded, while juniors and
sophomores must wear headgear ,
at all times, with the freshman
adorned in the customary year
ling regalia.
A student tribunal, composed
of members of the three upper
classes and elected by the Stu
dent Council, deals with the er
ring freshmen. These first-year
men are kept in check at all
times, and offenses, include
keeping hands in pockets, wear
ing coat unbuttoned, smoking,
walking on grass, wearing col
ored socks and many others.
The chief offense that a fresh
man may commit is talking to a
girl or having a date with one
outside of the time of regularly
approved house dances or col
lege functions.
If a freshman is found guilty
of such an offense, he is taken
to the town's leading corner,
where he is shorn of all his hair.
He is then adorned in women's
regalia for two weeks, and in
the spring of the year he is giv
en a molasses bath.
At Penn State, we learn, genuine
efforts are being made to put those
delightful adjuncts to education
the green cap and such other rules
on a business basis. Freshmen who
wear colored socks or commit other
heinous crimes against the dear tra
ditions of the school suffer the loss
of their hair, are forced to wear
women's clothes, and are given a mo
lasses bath. Trusly, here is the spir
it of culture given expression.
The "erring freshmen are dealt
with by an upper class group of
devil-chasers, intent upon seeing that
no freshman does anything that
might endanger the progress of his
education keeping his hands in his
pockets or talking to girls.
At this school a few years ago
some farsighted students attempted
to introduce a distinctive dress for
each class an extension of the no
ble institution of the green cap. The
students, however, had so recently
emerged from the barbaric state out
here in the untutored west that they
failed to enthuse over the idea and it
died. The green cap, however, had
such a pronounced cultural influence
that its advantages were readily rec
ognized, and it was adopted years
ago.
Yes, we of the west do not knowj1
what we are missing. It takes some i
such revelation of intelligence as '
that at Penn State to wake us up.
AND SO ON
The battle of the high schools still
rages. In the Other Opinions col-
umn today appears two letters, one ;
from a student in the University and
another from E. E. Knape, superin
tendent of the Ruskin, Nc-b., school.

We are growing a bit tired of
reiterating our statements about the
high schools. But, to oblige Mr.
Knape, we will reply. Ve ft tn'
the inability of some university
graduates to teaeh subjects in which
they had had some instruction was
not surprising and that it signified
nothing. 'We affirm the statement.
Because a student has five or six
hours to in some subject he should
not be expected to tench it. Is that
clear?
The fact that teachers are allow
ed to give instruction in subjects
with which they are not familiar ac
counts, we believe, for much of the
poor work in the high schools. Many
superintendents allow absolutely un
qualified instructors to teach sub
jects in which they have had only the
slightest basic training.
Mr. Knape pointedly observes
that the high school product depends
on the university product. That is
not altogether the case. There are
students who are graduated unfitted
to teach, we repeat, but who are well
trained for some other profession.
Is the fact that they fail as teachers
proof that the university is ineffi
cient? Here is the trouble, ns we have
said before: teachers who are fail
ures continue to teach without mo
lestation. They may be working a
great injustice to the student under
them, but there seems to be no ex
amination or inspection of the
schools to weed them out.
In closing Mr. Knape uses "con
structive program" and "inspiring."
These are nice words: in fact, we
think that they should be included on
the list of the one hundred most in
spiring words in the English lan
guage (if such exists) ; but after all
they mean little. Harmony, as .Jr.
Knape uses it, means the absence of
criticism, we infer.
The absence of j
criticism, however much it may under all circumstances, Mr. Editor,
promote peace and good will, is notM0 not attack anything that might
always desirable; for by criticism
are bad things corrected. A con-;fca's
structive program is one of those
things that all soap-box orators j
have. It is a lovely thing as he dis
plays it, but it fails to stand exami
nation. We are still obstinate, and, we
fear, a bit bored with the subject.
Other Opinions
The Daily Nebraskan assumes
no responsibility for the senti
ments expressed by correspon
dents and reserves the right to
exclude any communications
whose publication may for any
reason seem undesirable. In all
cases the editor must know the
identity of the contributor. No
communications will be publish
ed anonymously, but by special
arrangement initials only may be
signed.
CRITICISM
Ruskin, Nebr. ,
Jan. 14, 1926.;
To the Editor: !
In reply to Supt. Coombs letter ,
on January thirteenth, your words
are: "As to the inability of the uni-'
versity graduates to teach subjects
in which they have had some in
struction we are unprepared to an
swer. Probably this is true in somo
cases, but what has that to do with
high school training?" Don't tell usi
you don't know. !
High school teachers are univer
sity graduates. What we produce
depends upon your product. Also ;
your product depends upon what we
produce. So why "pass the buck" to
each other?
But another quotation from the
New Gloves
with a touch of spring
in vivid trimmings.
A delightful touch of
spring may be infused into
the costume with the aid
of new gloves bought from
Rudge & Guenzel's, for
I they say springtime in
j every touch of vivid trim
p ming. Embroidery. Ap
j plique. Metallic stitching.
j Cuffs of contrasting fab
p ric. These are the means
i they use to achieve smart
p ness both for themselves

same editorial. "It is by poor stu
dents who are allowed to slip by
that a school Is to be judged."
Enough said. Apply in either case.
High schools and universities be
long to the same general group. We
are of the same profession. Let us
not destroy ourselvs by trying to
kick each other. We can put on a
more constructive program by work
ing in harmony.

COMMENDATION
Lincoln, Neb.
Jan. 17, 1926.
To the Editor:
I swear that this will be the last
time I will bother you for, well, at
least several months. I really am
not in the habit of writing the edi
tors letters but there are occasions
when I cannot keep still.
Your reply to Mr. Peterson was
so good and to the point that I sup-
i pose there is nothing I can add, but
to endorse what you said in your
editorial.
If Mr. Peterson's attitude were
not so common it would be funny in
stead of tragic. It is largely be
cause the public demands policy
playing superintendents and teach
ers that so little is accomplished in
the public schools, rrom my own
experience in the teaching game I
have found out that it does not pay
to fail a pupil and make him take
the subject over again if the parents
can by hook or crook reach the ear
of the school board, and they us
ually can.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if some
one could examine Mr. Petereson's
mind and tell us just what process
he arrived at the conclusion that a
criticism of the work done by the
public high school, and a central
basketball tournament were in such
close relationship that to attack one
one would destroy the other. Now?
jn any way interfere with Nebras-
position in athletics. The en-
icouragement of athletics is the chief
function of this great university and
anyone who says the least thing
against this function is a dangerous
RED and should not be tolerated.
jSo be careful, Mr. Editor, you are
likely to lose your position.
Once again I wish to commend
your stand and to urge you to con
tinue to take an honest, independent
position on questions and not to keep
silent for policy's sake. I would
rather see this University with ten
students enrolled, who were not
afraid to stand for what they bei
lieved no matter how it effected
them, than to see an enrollment of
10,000 students, none of whom had
backbone enough to challenge the es--tablished
order simply for fear of 1 ?'
getting himself "in bad."
