Hi
THE DAILY NEBRASKA!!
Enrollment of 2,194 Students In
Extension Work Indicates Interest
Extension work is now being ta
ken by 2,194 active students, the
largest number ever enrol)ed in this
department. Over 500 of these are
evening students..
Interest in this work, taken by the
teachers, business men, and more ma
ture people as a rule, has been in
creasing steadily. Students often
take a course i". the summer time,
drop it during the winter, and finish
it the next summer.
Failures are few. Courses are
terest in the subject, because of
eventual failure, or because the work
didn't meet the need of the individ
ual. By 2,903 students who have
taken this work, 12,160 hours have
been completed, while from a total
of 2,685 students, 0,535 hours have
been dropped. Among all the stu
dents who have taken extension work,
55 per cent completed it, and 44
per cent dropped it
. Given College Credit
Of 155 courses given, the most
popular are English, Education, and
History. From the total number of
students, 25.7 per cent have finish
ed courses in English, 23 per cent In
Education, and 15 per cent In His
tory. Practically all courses are ac
credited ones of college credit.
On an average, one student car
ries four hours. Tuition is four dol
lnrs a credit hour, and the registra
tion fee is one dollar. A fee is de-
nosited for books and when they are
returned two-thirds of the money is
refunded to the student After
three times the books, which come
from the Extension department 8 own
book store, pay for themselves.
Done Through Mailt
Assignments with references and
questions are printed and sent to the
students. After they are returned
to the reader they are graded, com
mented on, and again sent back. Ex
aminations are sent to the superin
tendent, principal or person approved
by the county superintendent, of the
the school nearest the student. Te
examination is conducted by this
person who afterwards sends it in to
the Extension office to be graded.
Nebraska A Victim Of Grasshopper
Scourge In Years 1873 and 1874
Everyone has heard of the grass'
hopper plagues of ancient Egypt.
Few people have heard of the grass
hopper raids of pioneer Nebraska
Yet hopper raids, an account of
which is given in the "Nebraska His
tory and Record of Pioneer Days,"
occurred in Nebraska in the years
1873 and 1874.
About 3 p. m. Sunday, the 26th
of July, 1874, grasshopers coming
from the northwest appeared by the
millions near the present village of
Alvo, Cass County. Few came at
first, then clouds, then not as many,
then another cloud, and in a short
time they swarmed everywhere.
In the cornfields the blades were
loaded with red-legged, long-winged
hoppers. They ate up most of the
corn, the gardens, and the leaves
of the trees that afternoon, and in
the morning were busy depositing
eggs for the next year's crop.
Though the hard road was a favorite
place, they were busy in the culti
vated fields, and everywhere else.
Their eggs were deposited, 20 or 30
in a little sack, in a hole an inch
or so deep. At about 10 o'clock a.
m. the 6th day, they all arose and
journeyed to the southeast after
having eaten everything green ex
cept the grass and potato patches.
About the 15th of April, 1875, the
eggs began to hatch out As they
hatched, the little fellows dug their
way to the top and hovered round
the mouth of their den. After the
cold rains which fortunately came in
April and May, scarcely one of them
could be found. But every sunny
day there were millions hatched, and
in May 'many were still alive.
Their bodies were large and their
hops were rather clumsy. Little in
closed, pads on their backs broke
open after awhile and liberated
their wings, which were full-grown,
but doubled up. After a flap or two
young hoppers were ready to fly,
and soon after their wings came out
they took flight to the northwest.
All spring they could be seen flying
away, but by early in June they were
almost gone.
Late in October, 1876, there was
a small visitation which did little
damage. The loss of crops to those
who stayed by their homes was about
50 per cent in 1874, 10 per cent in
1875, and 5 per cent in 1876. Those
who gave up their lands suffered a
loss of almost of all they had in
vested.
Witto connected with the hoop from
the foul line to bring the score to
13 to 12 for Omaha. Lincoln called
time out. Skelly fouled Kimball but
the Lincoln center missed his chance
to knot the count. Drummond's
team worked the ball down with long
passes and Houston made one good
from the side to give Tech a 8-point
lead over Lincoln. Tech called time
out and Swenson returned to the
lineup for Skelly. Nelson returned to
center and Swenson played a guard
position. Witte made a technical
foul and both teams missed shots
under the basket. Morrison went
back for Lincoln as Buechners guard.
Wittee dribbled ah 1ft L .t'
Witte dribbled half the length of
the floor and put his his third basket
throusrh the hoop from the center
Tech stalled an instant with their lead
of one point. Prcrost took the ball
down the floor and made good a set
up under the basket. Lincoln called
time out, with thirty second to play.
Tech put on a pretty exhibition of
stalling for the rest of the game.
Score: Omaha 17, Lincoln 14.

Shepardson Stresses
The Idea of Service
(Continued From Page One)
in one direction we will find the
power house, and at the other end
we will discover how the power is
used."
Mr. Shepardson went on to ex
plain that a power line is of no use
if the power house is inadequate.
The source of power may be extreme
ly humble, but it is the use of the
power that counts.
Library Like Power Houe
An anology was drawn between a
library and a uower house, and men
were taken to be the transmission
lines. The speaker showed that the
power house was useless without the
lines and that each needed the other.
We must take the ideas from other
thinirs and transmit them to our
fellowmen. for it is not the quantity
of the ideas that count, but the ser
vice which they do.
Mr. Shepardson illustrated the
idea that the source of power may
be humble and yet accomplish a deal
of cood bv a few concrete illustra
tions. He said that the influence
might be only a statue or a sentence,
yet it might shape the whole course
of a life.
Mr. Shepardson leaves Lincoln to
day for Vermillion, S. D., where
he will install a chapter of Phi Beta
Kappa.
Speak to Frat President
The central purposes and ideals
of the National Interfraternity
Council were set forth by Dr. Shep
ardson in an impressive address, at
the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce
Saturday noon, at a meeting of the
members of the Nebraska Interfra
ternity Council and of fraternity
presidents, attended by University
deans and the directors and
Chancellor Avery. In introducing
Dr. Shepardson Prof. M. M. Fogg
spoke of his fine life, devoted
to doing good to the young people,
going about the college world help
ing young people steer thtir way
straight and high.
Dr. Shepardson emphasized rais
ing of scholarship as an outstanding
purposo of the National Interfrater
nity Council, organized seventeen
years ago, for scholarship is the main
thing in a college course. Fostering
the spiritual side of college life is
another fundamental purpose of tho
Council premiuming the finer
things. He mentioned the custom
at Kenyon College, Ohio, where one
fraternity never interrupts another
fraternity in its singing.
Interfraternity meetings of under
graduates and of alumni is another
end the National Council is WorV
ing for. '

the Tech defense early in the quarter
but Fisher missed the shot. Tech

down slowly and Houston put one
through the hoop from the foul line.
Drummond's team worked the same
thing again but failed, under the
basket Fisher fouled Millhollin,
who made the toss good. Millhollin
held Sawyer a minute later, but the
Lincoln forward missed his chance
to score. Witte blocked Millhollin
under the basket; the Tech forward
added two more points to his- point
column. Morrison went in for Saw

There is no weak link
in the Kresge chain-
The tremendous success now enjoyed by
the S. S. Kresge Company is the result
of efficient operation. Every link in the
great Kresge chain of stores is made
strong through the selection of men of
integrity and ability.
The men who manage the Kresge stores
were chosen because of their desire to
establish for themselves worthwhile
futures. They were willing to start at
the bottom, for training in the Kresge
stores, and work their way forward.
And because they had faith in them
selves and the Kresge Company they
reached their goal.
The Kresge Company is constantly add
ing new stores to its long chain, and for
these stores new managers are needed.
If you are the type of man who believes
that success awaits him who works, here
is an opportunity well worth investigating.
Write at once to our Personnel Depart
ment and we shall arrange for you to
meet a graduate of your own college who
has already found success in the Kresge
organization.
