The teacher in tho elementary and high schools has almost no intellec tual freedom. Ho must let his mind be moulded by the appalling medio crity of tho masses. The Averago Man so much vaunted by democra cies has a chronic phobia for ideas which conflict with the status quo. The school teacher's salary comes fifm trtA mnHftos. therefore, ho is their Blave. If a teacher dares to disagree with tho socially dominant class, ho is stig matized a heretic, bolshevik, or nut; and if his non-conformity goes so far that ho doesn't believe that Mr. Cool idgo is a great statesman, that the constitution of tho United States is peerless political document, and that jazz and rolled hose are immoral if, to repeat, his non-cm formity is enr ried to such an extreme, ho is forth with canned. Tho only alternative is hypocrisy, and, rather than bo a job less outcast, teachers almost inevi tably develops a dual personality in self defense. It is more rainful to bo hungry than two-faced. The system of reducing teachers to spineless lumps of protoplasm is not confined to elementary schools; it operates in colleges and universities, only, in most cases, is less stultifying extreme. Many instances are recorded of professors losing their positions for failing to bo hypocrites and mol lycoddles of the administration. A few months ago, a professor in . .. . : i i - an eastern university was asKi-u vu resign, his offense being that he con tributed a poem to the New Masses, a magazine which is non-plutocratic, pro-labor, and "radical," so to speak. In a mid-western state university last year, an instructor got into trouble because of an article published i.-. no less a magazine than the New Repub lic. The objection to the article seemed to pe that it deviated from cut-and-dried text-book facts. Other cases of this sort are countless. As long as originality and intellec tual honesty are the cardinal sins of the teaching profession, it is folly to expect education to be the splendid thing it could be.

But that is all, merely an old form which is gone through and which) means nothing. So why talk about class gifts until you have some classes and some organizations and some money to buy the gifts with? THE CLASS GIFT Sunday that energetic member of the Daily Nebraskan staff known as the "Inquiring Reporter" published answers to tho question "Would you be in favor of reviving the custom of class gifts at graduation?" Although it might be a good idea to revive this custom, it seems to us that it is useless to talk about it now. How can you buy a class gift when there is no class, that is in the literal sense? There is no real class in the University. There is a group of stu dents who expect to graduate in 1927, another group who expect to get their sheepskins in 1928, and so on. But there is no real class. It is quite true that a handful of the members of these groups cast a few ballots in the fall and somebody is elected who receives the title of "president of the senior class" or "president of the junior class." Sometimes if this president is am bitious he may put a notice in The Daily Nebraskan that his class will meet and a still smaller handful of THE WEST ENTRANCE In a letter which was published in the "Other Opinions" column Sun day, "E.

And comparisons of the feed costs of calves, yearlings, two-year olds, and three-vear olds, from the same blood lines have shown that the feed cost increases with age. That is, the calf makes a greater gain from the same ration than the more mature animals. And the calf can be held if the mar ket is bad while the mature animal must be marketed at once. Feed Teata Are Made In the 1923-24 experiments on fat tening steers of different ages, it was discovered that the feed cost per steer was $36.05 for calves; $47.67 for yearlings; $55.12 for two-year olds, and $67.62 for three-year olds. The feed cost for one hundred pounds gain in weight varied from $8.01 for calves to $13.08 for three-year olds. Thirty years ago, almost all hogs were fed on water and corn. The re sult was weak-boned animals. Tho experiment station made some of the first and moBt fundamental contribu tions on the use of protein supple ment for tho growth and fattening of hogs. As a result of their experi ments, improved feeding has pro duced better fat hogs as woll as stronger boned hogs. The experiment station has been largely responsible for the develop ment of the principles of dry farming and tho stabilization o agriculture in the drier soctions of the state. In this connection an important feature was the working out, not only the possibilities, but also the limitations of soil tillage, especially in regard to tho conservation of moisture. Tho University maintains Holstein dairy herds at several points and dairy experiments have produced some very valuable work. The out standing feature hns been breeding for greater milk production. That the experiment Btation has been success ful is shown by the fact that tho Uni versity herds are giving between five and six times as much on the aver age as the average Nebraska cow. Milk Teats Are Made The average production for twenty-four Holstein cows at the Lincoln farm of the experiment station last year was 17,942 pounds of milk and 810 pounds of butter. The average of the state for all dairy cattle wns 3, 600 pounds of milk and 150 pounds of butter. The majority of the milk- producing cows of the state are not purebred stock but these figures show the possibilities opened up through experimental breeding.

The station popularized the grow ing and feeding of alfalfa.

The University is planning a build ing program. We have seen pictures and models of our future campus and it looks beautiful. Although we do not claim to be architects we beg to offer one suggestion. That is that the entrances be made large enough so that it won't be necessary to wait in line to get out of the buildings. THE MESSIAH Wednesday morning an opportun ity will be given University students to hear the thirty-first annual pre sentation of the "Messiah" by the University Chorus under the direc tion of Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond. All University students mrfy attend and there is no admission price. For thirty-one years the presenta tion of the "Messiah" has been a tra ditional part of the last week of school preceding the Christmas holi days. It is one of the few institu tions in the University which really deserves the title "tradition." Connected as it is with the biblical story which snrrounds the holidays, the "Messiah" always has an unusual appeal at this time of the Tear. There is no need to appeal to stu dents to attend this event. It is only necessary to call their attention to the time and place, for they know from past experience that this pro duction is well worth their time. of scientific facts which showed the advantages of alfalfa. Through sim ilar feeding experiments conducted by the experiment stations, the ra tions for fattening cattle have been almost completely changed within the last thirty years. A series of interesting animal hus bandry feed tests in regard to the relation of the age of cattle to their "food efficiency" have been carried on recently. The results indicate pos sibilities of a complete change in tac tics for meat production. The public has been demanding lighter steak. IflafKl an Vti SMART WEAR l&S PCX?

In 1922, the average was 16,010 pounds of milk and C21 pounds of butter; in 1923, 10,110 pounds of milk and 684 pounds of butter; in 1924, 17,788 pounds of milk and 797 pounds of; butter; in 1925, 20,936.5 pounds of milk and 972.49 pounds of butter, a substantial increase year by year. The experiment station conducts extensive nurseries for the selection and hybridization of grains in at tempting to find better yielding strains. Results of similar experi ments from other stations are re ceived and noted. A co-operative in terchange of experimental strains and information is commonly carried on with other experiment stations. New Wheat Developed The most outstanding develop ments recently in this line by the Ne braska experiment station have been tho development of two new Nebras ka wheats; of Nebraska No. 21 oats, developed from ordinary Kherson oats, and the introduction from Kan sas of Kanred wheat. These grains have consistently produced several bushel per acre more than the grains commonly grown. We have now seen a few of the ex periments conducted and their value. They are but a few of tho vast num ber being continually conducted or already completed.
