STUDENT TRAFFIC
It has been often said that "it is
too late to lock the barn gate after
the horse has been stolen," but the
maxim may be stated once more for
the benefit of those who are respon
sible for the lack of traffic regula
tion near the University campus.
Signal lights have been placed in
the business district and stop but
tons installed throughout the resi
dential section during the past few
months, but no steps have been tak
en toward regulation of traffic on
R street near the campus. The inter
section of Twelfth and E streets is
the scene of dozens of "close calls"
nearly every day, and the traffic at
8 o'clock and at noon is often hea
vier than at any downtown corner.
The true seriousness of the situation
is indicated in a photograph which
appeared recently in The Nebraska
Alumnus. But no steps have been
taken to prevent accidents despite
the repeated warnings of persons
familiar with the situation.
"If the citizens of Lincoln need
regulation," writes the editor of The
Alumnus, "'how much more the Uni
versity students, who often do not
realize the full responsibility of driv
ing an automobile, need to be re
strained from dashing across streets
in their hurry to get to a class or
home for lunch. We suggest that a
serious accident at either of these
corners (on E street) might be ex
pected if some regulation is not
undertaken soon. e also suggest
that traffic officers, not signal lights
are needed at each of these inter
sections." CHURCH HOMES
The Daily Nebraskan wishes to
thank Eev. F, W. Leavitt, Congre
gational student pastor, for the let
ter contributed to these columns last
week in which he explained the work
of the University pastors and called
attention to the manner in which
they are cooperating with one an
other and other persons doing simi
lar work.
If the primary object of the new
houses now being erected near the
campus by certain denominations is
merely to provide homes and suita
able headquarters for the pastors,
the rnovpmenut may well receive the
support of all persons interested in
religions work among students.
On the other hand, if the build
ings are intended to be elaborate so
cial centers for the exclusive nse of
members of particular denominations
a spirit of competition may result.
This, we believe, would hinder the
cause of inter-denominationalism.
Eev. Leavitt states that '"the Uni
versity pastors rejoice in the trend
toward Christian unity." As long bb
this is their attitude, there iB little
danger that a competitive spirit will
enter. Too often, however, in their
zeal to promote building proposals or
other material objects, church leaders
forget that more is to be gained by
cooperation than by -competition.
This newspaper hopes that the erec
tion of church houses will not be
fatal to the broad-minded spirit in
dicated by Eev. Leavitt's letter.
WHY HE QUIT
In nn article in McNaught's Month
ly not so very long ago, Bertand Ellis
gave some of the reasons why he left
college in the following terse para
graph. "I left college, because, from nine
to ten o'clock every Monday, Wed
nesday and Friday I was supposed to
be intensely interested in poetry of
the time of Quen Elizabeth; but nt
the ringing of a bell that interest waR
to ceuBe, and I should throw myBelf
whole-heartedly into the dissection of
a frog, for an hour's time only, after
which I was expected to deliver with
bubbling etithusiusm the conjugation
of a Greek verb. If, during lunch, I
happened to b:rime enthused over a
midden idea for my Hibtory theme
for the next dny, I could not rush to
the library to read end write and
study. Ko, no, I muirt forget that
iJ.ta, put it entirely f r im my mind,
which orpiin would commence,
jit.nij't'y r.t one o'clock, to function
j"-' 'feci : in solving lancinating goo
m, ;. ,i- proMi-iT. Is it a treat wonder
: 1, with hundreds of other stu
. -. v eft to the movies that after
few words, Mr. Ellis has stated one
of the most perplexing problems of
the modern college. The solution is
not obvious, but the difficulties pre
sented by the problem should not de-
f.er scholars of the type that college
leaders are supposed to be.

EDUCATIONAL AIMS
To the Editor:
There is very little that is defensi
ble in Mr. Emmet V. Maun's letter,
but I should like to defend that little
grain of valid criticism of the univer
sities which it contains. The point
which warrants salvage, it seems to
me, is that the present university
education does not keep in touch
with the whole of the life which the
student must enter when he is
through with universities. This ap
plies to specially vocational schools
as well as the Liberal Arts colleges.
The divorce between education and
industry or work is one which, in an
industrial civilization, bodes ill for
society. To date, education has
sought to instill that culture which
Matthew Arnold said "is the study of
perfection getting to know the best
which has been htought and said,"
and the university has promoted this
lily-fingered and aimless quest. But
the idea is growing, (and not among
the money-grabbers only) that edu
cation must be humanized by being
brought down to date, so that the in
dividual not only studies "the best
that has been thought and said" but
himself becomes a creative unit in a
society which is thinking and saying
its own thoughts. j
This can only come about by re-'
vamping our idea of education. Out
of this need, therefore, has come
the conception so well stated by L.
P. Jacks in the Yale Review a year
ago. He says "Education is the pro
cess of training the industry of man
in its manifold varieties, and its or
ganized totallity to the highest pitch
of excellence it is capable of attain
ing." Maun has not been taught to get
culture from his work, and conse
quently he gets little culture from
anything else. Have not we the
right to ask that the university
place the student upon an experi
mental basis with life, and by begin
ning with him at the place he is to
take in the world's work, patiently
to walk with him until he finds that
relationship ith life which makes each
day bring real culture? "Why is it
not the task of the schools to bring a
man's work itself educate him, so
that his development is a steady up
ward curve of quickened intelligence
and initiative and deepened Bense of
responsibility?
The university must be judged by
its products, and in the long run its
training stands or falls by the amount
of service which each individual it
has touched renders through bis daily
work. This in turn depends upon
what Goethe calls '"the quality of
their striving." When that quality
is high enough we call work by a new
name "Art." It is the university's
responsibility to lead youth through
work to art; through experience to

A LAUGHING SONG
There was a soft brilliance about
the moon Friday night and the breeze
which rustled and stirred through
the trees certainly whispered of the
on-coming spring. I saw many cou
ples strolling about, others hurrying
to and from their party houses. I
saw groups of fellows walking up the
steps of the porches of various soror
ity houses laughing as the foremost
rang the doorbell.
I saw them emerge again accom
panied by their feminine partners.
Then I saw the man in the moon
smile for they promenaded down the
street to their party house; and I
smiled joyously, old man that I am,
because it seemed to carry me back
to the days when we used to call for
our girls, wrn we used to laugh and
sing as we strolled or hurried along
toward the place where the party was
being held.
There was some of the old romance
of youth in me last night just as
there was years ago. I was awaken
ed as it were from a drowsy sleep
for I haven't seen or heard of those
days of youth for a long, long time.
I think they must have buried them
selves under the storm of new cus
toms rolled ahead by the irresistible
and sometime unthinking spirit of
modern enthusiasm. But when I
viewed the scenes of last night and
Friday night I awoke to the tale and
lure of memories. I'm glad that I
saw what I did for now I have a faith
in the spirit of the youth about me.
Methinks IH begin to grow young
again in the atmosphere of this new
thing which is inserting itself in the
system of the university. Who kt-ows
whether this stale mind of mine can
not become rejuvenated and in turn
bring back the vigor that used to pos
sess my body. For it isn't the per
son of me that is old, it is the spirit.
The old man is gone; but that wai
his story. I don't know when he
came therefore I don't know when I
started to talk about him. Thers is
a new man wun me now as i -wine.
hopeful and enthusiastic I have been
waiting for him and all that was
needed was a crisis to awaker the old
man, rush him away and usher in this
vigorous lad.
Are you laughing? Go ahead, 1
am too. Only you are laughing at
me and I am laughing at tha rent-a-
Ford dealers. Did iny one besides
myself see a few forlorn looking in
dividuals exposing themselves in the
doorway of the rent-a-Ford building?
Friday and Saturday nights. They
say their business is normal, but I
wonder why they stand there looking
for the return of the bird thai flew
away; the bird that laid the golden
egg up at the university.

THE DAILY NEBR ASK AN
How many of you would give an
answer to that far away look; an en
swer which gives but little hope?
How mnnv answered silently Friday
and Saturday nights. I did both and
there wasn't any malice in my heart.
The Alpha Delta Thetas announced
Friday that they were one of the
group of the organizations in aeiense
of the cause and they stated it so
sincerely that they are to be com
mended.
Tha old Cornhusker-spirit is as
serting itself and a new life is the
result. Now if you are through
laughing at me let's get together and
laugh at the rer.t-a-Ford dealers for
awhile, hennas thev thought we were
going to weaken this week-end. They
told me so. Now the louder you
laugh the more I'll tell some of them.

DENOMINATIONAL FRICTIOIJ
The more philosophical one be
comes the more he views religious
friction as a foolish thing in this hu
man world of ours. One sees the atr
tempts of early peoples to build up
their conceptions of immortality and
a divine intelligence. Chrsitianity is
a products of that splendid thinking
and its diferent churches are merely
the variations of the Christian phil
osophy. The more practical one
grows the more he regards honesty,
of the honest man as the thing that
counts most after one is led out in
the open world. In either case unless
one is biased or led to conclusions
solely by stereotyped ideas one does
not give religious prejudice a place
in his nature to thrive and flourish.
For that reason, I believe, the
building of the various denomination
al houses for students, as mentioned
in Ine isieDraskan, may noi De pro
moting the atmosphere desirable
around a university. It merely tends
to draw distinction which does not
build for democracy of religious feel
ing throughout the student body.
That line of distinction is one which
serves to make each student who pro
fesses certain faith realize that he is
different from one of another belief.
Living within the atmosphere of bis
own belief he is unable to converse
intelligently with any other student
upon religions different Irom his j
own. The fact is not so striking. No
man who views life from only one
angle is able to know whether his
conceptions are right or not. And
any man who receives a conception of
other men's beliefs in the words and
thoughts of people whose ideas co
incide with his own, as in such a field
as religious philosophy, receives no
contrast of real thought.
What we need is a building which
represents a democratic association
of religions. One in which each reli
gion is a member so that tolerance
may result from an intelligent con
tact of ideas. Eeligious discussions
are sometimes hotly contested issues,

but in an atmosphere such as would
be generated by contact of university
students associated m one spot and
given the opportunity to discuss inte
lectually the things which bother
them sooner or later prejudice would
disappear and hot-minded indviduals
would be eliminated from the argu
ments which they would spoil by their
very temper.
Would such an atmosphere promot
ing a more intelligent understanding
of Christianity and its various forms
be wrong? Let the churches have
their own segregated student clubs,
but as far as for the university itself,
why not have a tolerant, democratic
association of students who profess
various denominations? That it
seems to me is more in keeping with
a broader philosophy of life and the
way to fix one's belief as regards im
mortality and the means by which
one should strive toward it. K. O. M.

A collection of rare minerals from
all parts of the world was received
last week by Prof. E. F. Schxam, of
the department of geology, from
Walter J. Paquette, private collector
of Toledo, Ohio, in exchange for a
collection of Black Hills specimens of
which the University has a great
number. Professor Schram is also
making an exchange collection with
C. B. Ferguson, of Sulzer, Alaska,
another private collector, who will
send specimens from the north-central
part of Alaska in exchange for
some from the Black Hills region.
Mr. Ferguson's specimens include
