in high school in the opinion of Mr.
Jones. A definite decision is not
even essential in college in these
days of swift changes in the business
world. The possibility of many new,
fascinating and profitable vocations
which may arise in the next ten years
makes a broad development oi one s
facilities the proper thing to do so
that the person may be able to take
advantage of any new busintss or
professional opportunity that pre
sents itself. Of course if one has a
decidedly mechanical turn of mind
or a leaning toward medicine he
should acquire as much of a back
ground in mathematics and science as
.possible. But if there is no special
tug toward a certain calling the, stu
dent should obtain an all-round edu
cation and he will thus be automatic
ally fitted for newspaper work if he
decides to embrace that as bis life
work.
"Success in life is easy. It is the
easiest thing I know," was a rather
startling statement made by Ir.
Jones, as he pointed out that success

is sure if one "learns to work and
tell the truth." The habit of work
should be formed in high school and
a job should never be left undone be
cause it is hard. One should then
pay himself with some fun after
completing a job. .
Both our body and our mind are
wonderful machines which are cap
able of infinite development if they
are used right. High school and col
lege life should be lived as whole
heartedly and earnestly as if that
were one's life work. So if care is
taken to develop one's self in high
echool and college he or she can enter
life in any capacity which may be
offered. "If you have learned to
work and to tell the truth the world
will find something for you to do.1
The development of one's mind in
to a well-polished tool follows if the
person has learned to work. The
foundation for all this should be
laid in high school and college where
the student learns the habit of doing
hard, steady and consistent work.
The ability to live with other people
on the basis of frankness, faith and
confidence can come only with the
habit of thinking, doing and telling
tha truth.
Small Paper Good Practice
Personal "pull" and family influ
ence do not count in these days of
sharp competition as shown by the
fact that an increasingly large num
ber of men at the bead of large com
panies have work 'd up from the bottom.
A practical knowledge of the me
chanics of printing such as might be
gained from vacation-time work in
a print shop is very good preparation
for the newspaper game. Practical
experience as reporters on small
papers is some of the best prepara
tion one can get A person starting
in this way may make considerable
progress if he has the knack of doing
this sort of thing well.
If one acquires a broad hack-
ground in school and then decides to
enter newspaper work he has fitted
himself to become an apprentice and
will go on upward in accordance with
his industry and intelligence. If
some other calling is decided upon
the preparation will be good there al
so.

ulote him. Locke repeated this after
his defeat in the 220, laughing about
the rices. The Californians were
amazed at his sportsmanship, Barber
remarking tnat they had never seen
anything like that before. The crowd
applauded Locke despite his defeats.
Johiuon's victories were a stunning
blow to tne Californians. Boyden,
whom he defeated in the 880, had
never lost a race on the coast and
had placed high in the I. C. A. A. A.
the big eastern intercollegiate track
land field meet. Johnson outguessed
as well as outran Les Schwobeda to
win the mile run, Schwobeda was con
sidered the big star of the California
squad and won the mile in the I. C
A. A. A. last spring. "They couldn't
believe that Johnson had won both
those races," Coach Schulte stated.
"Stew" Campbell, sophomore quar-
ter-miler, placed third in the 440 at
California instead of Tappan as re
ported in all papers immediately after
the meet. Wyatt's injury kept him
out of the mile relay and spoiled
whatever chances the Cornhuskers
had of winning it.
McCartney made tbe z mile in
10:02 and Hays in 10:08 to place
second and third at California. Chad
derdon was running an easy fourth
but with no chance of picking the
Calif ornian at the end of the seventh
lap so Coach Schulte pulled him to
save him. Chadderdon had previously
stepped the 880 in better than 2
minutes to place1 third close behind
Johnson and Boyden. In the mile
Sprague ran the fastest mile he lias
ever made, getting in in about 4:35.
Krause took the high hurdles in bet

better his low hurdle marks. The big
sophomore is coming and if he can
correct his flaws should show up well
in the big meets of the year.

Grummann9 s Continental Drama
Courses Popular With Students
The courses in Continental Drama,
given by Prof. Paul H. Grum
mann. Director of the School of Fine
Arts, are bo well liked that the en
rollmen now exceeds five hundred.
This is unusual because these courses
are not required of any except the
musical maior students and yet the
enrollment is large showing that there
is a great interest in it.
Professor Grummann first taught
a course of this type in the German
department when he came to Ne
braska. This was -a course in "Novels
and Dramas" and was 'read in Ger
man. In 1914 Mr. Grummann was made
Professor of Dramatic Literature. At
this time the course was reorganized
and the English translations of these
plays were given. The first semes
ter the plays of Henrik Ibsen were
read, the next semester the plays of
Gerhart Hauptmann, and the third
and fourth semesters took up the
dramas of other continental writers.
This same organization is used today.
Two years ago a class in Classical
Drama was formed. The Greek and
Roman being given first and then
making 12 feet 6 inches in the rain.
The Huskers were entertained on
the coast by Nebraska alumni, who
drove them through both San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, showing them
the sights. On the road back, two
shows were put on in the Husker cat
hy the boys, to help break up the
time between studying and playing
cards.
the French Classics. This course is
restricted to students in the senior
year only because it is best to have
the Ibsen and Hauptmann interpreta
tions first as a background.
Ever since the School of Fine Arts
was organized Professor Grummann
has taught a class in the History of
the Theatre. Various musical dramas
are studied in this course.
Professor Grummann takes a great
interest in these dramas because he
himself has written quite a bit on the
subject. He was the editor of "Poet
Lore" in Boston for a time and wrote
many articles, besides editing the
other articles of the magazine. He
has also translated many of the Ger
man dramas, especially the works of
Haibe, Schnitzler, Bernstein and
Ernst.
The work of the class consists of
the interpretation of the play aa it
is worked out by the class under the
skillful guidance of Mr. Grummann.
So much valuable material is taken
up that this is one class in which
