Survey Shows
Type Teachers
Schools Need
What schools and colleges want
are science, mathematics, and lan
guage teachers, and teachers who
can take charge of such extra-curricular
activities &s debating, dramat
ics, music, and athletics, R. D.
Moritz, director of the university de
partment of educational service said
Saturday after a survey of the ed
ucational situation in Nebraska dur
ing the past year.
In the past year more than 100
calls have beer, received from col
leges needing competent teachers,
while only 59 candidates were avail
able. The call for science, math
ematics and French teachers in col
leges exceeds that for all other
branches of education combined.
In secondary schools the demand
is great for Latin, science, mathema
tics, music, normal training, manual
training, and athletic teachers. In
universities there is a corresponding
overproduction of English and his
tory teachers, according to Mr.
Moritz.
The university educational service
is open to all students, past or pres
ent, and no charge is made either to
the applicant or the college.
Five hundred and eighteen jobs
have been given out to students by
the Y. M. C. A. of Iowa State since
the beginning of school in Septem
ber. GIVE

ENDS ANNUAL CONGRESS

fice in June if the organization's fin
ances warrant such expenditure. Pro
visions for the bonding of officers,
double-check on all vouchers, hand
ling of all funds through the secretary-treasurer,,
and restrictions on
expenditures were also approved.
A questionnaire of four mimeo
graphed pages delving into problems
of student government was prepared
by the discussion group on student
government in larger schools under
the direction of Joe Chamberlin, ed
ltor of the Michigan Daily News.
Results of the tendencies indicated
in this poll will be published within
the next few weeks.
Fraternities were approved econ
mically, scholasti-.ally, and from the
standpoint of extra-curricular activ
ities in the discussion group of fra
ternities. JJreat variations in major
and minor requirements in different
institutions, disapproval of the
award of degrees 'with distinction'
on the basis of marks, recommenda
tion that upper classmen should de
velop a proper attitude towards
study in the lower classes, that the
attitude of upperclassmen today is
largely childish, and that seven out
of ten felt that athletics were the
chief drawing card to their institu
tions were the chief features of the
report of the committee on curricu
lum.
"The Student Heretic" was dis
cussed Saturday morning by Profes
sor Arthur J. Todd of Northwestern
University. That heresy is thinking
and choosing, that a good line of
heresy should be cultivated in stu
dent bodies, that the greatest heresy
is to think at all, that science is be
coming as narrowly dogmatic as re
ligion was formerly, and that stu
dents should entice professors out of
their lair because learning is a com
radeship of the spirit were the prin
ciple points advanced by Professor
Todd.
The new executive council of the
organization will meet this morning
and afternoon in Ellen Smith Hall to
plan the work of the federation for!me of the general subject.
the coming year. Work of the pub
lications committee which will mime
ograph all convention reports and
publish the federation yearbook will
also move forward today.
The National Student Federation
held its first general congress ses
sion, Friday morning in Morrill halL
The meeting of the congress was fol
lowed by discussion groups which
took up six phases of college educa
tion. The two hundred students who at
tended the convention met for a
business session at 9:30 Friday
morning, and heard an address by
Miss May C. Hermes of London, rep
resentative of the International
Confederation of Students. Then
the larger group split into smaller
ones, which took no the aiiPKtinnis nf
the honor system, student govern
ment, fraternities, the curriculum,
athletes, and training for public car
eers. Regional Meetings Are Held
Following the luncheon' at the Lin
coln Hotel meetings of preliminary
regional groups and standing com
mittees were held during the after
noon. The regional meetings, repre
senting six parts of the country,
were held in Morrill halL The
standing committees which met
were: Constitutions and New Mem
bers; Finance and Central Office;
International Relations; Travel; Cur
riculum; and Publicity.
At the opening business meeting
Miss Hermes told of the Internation
al Student Confederation. There
are thiry countries which hold mem
berships in the organization, she
said, and the United States is the
youngest member. Twenty-four of
the countries are in Europe, and six
of them are outbide of the continent, j
Preceeding the address the following
reports were given: treasurer, Jo-
seph Owen of Kansas; international
relations and travel, Stanley VeigeL
Leland Stanford university; speak'
ers' bureau, Willard Eippon, Univer
sity of Toledo; curriculum, Douglass
Orr, Swarthmore college; Miss Mar
v;n Breckenridge, presiden of the
federation, presided at the meeting.
Regulation of student affairs by
faculty and students was the chief
topic of interest in the discission
group of student fonr.iment prob-
ltoj. led by John IL Chamberlain,

University of Michigan. Two def-

their own rffairs with no faculty
regulation, another where students
have little to say about their own
affairs.
Orr Leads Curriculum Group
The discussion of the curriculum
group, led by Douglass Orr, former
student of the University of Ne
braska, brought out the methods
used in different schools throughout
the country to bring before the fa
culty the views of students with re
gard to courses offered. Some
schools have systems which enable
them to bring about radical changes,
it was brought out, while others
must confine themselves to sugges
tions of changes. The discussion
turned on one difficulty in the col
lege curriculum, where inequality of
credit is present among courses
equally difficult. This objection was
countered by some students on the
ground that students attend college
not for credit hours but for educa
tion. The question of shortening time
of competition for college students
was the main topic in the discussion
of athletics. The general opinion
of the delegates appeared to be that
seniors should be given the privilege
of either competing in athletics or
devoting more of their time to study.
Men are often forced o compete in
more sports than they desire, dele
gates from small colleges asserted,
due to the pressure of student opin

Oberlin university were read and dis
cussed. The importance and the
value derived from participation in
athletics was stressed.
The standing curriculum commit
tee met at 4:40 in the afternoon,
with Douglass Orr, Swarthmore, pre
siding. A presentation of sugges
tions by the executive committee for
the work of the new committee was
made by Mr. Orr and discussed by
the standing committee. From the
suggestions, the body chose the sub
ject of Honor Systems, deciding that
unity of the subject would produce
better results as compared with each
member of the committee handling
Main Speaks at Banquet
The problems of the college of to
day were discussed by J. II. T. Main,
president of Grinnell college, at a
banquet of the National Student
Federation, meeting in Lincoln this
week end, at the agricultural college
Friday .evening. Dr. Main questioned
the right of many critics to level ac
cusations at the colleges. The rush
of young men and women into col
leges following the world war has
brought about an abrupt change of
conditions, he said, and many of
those dissatisfied with higher educa
tion methods do not take these into
account.
Proposals for improvement of col
legiate methods were mentioned by
jDr - Main projects for betterning
the output of students. He favors
a metbod of handpicking ' candi
dates instead of allowing easy en
trance to colleges. He also sug
gested a system of maintaining some
balance between the shifting size of
the student body and the size and
efficiency of the faculty.
The banquet was held in the stu
dent activities building on the Col
lege of Agriculture campus. Stu
dent delegates to the congress were

He followed Dr. Fling, speaker at
