SMALL COLLEGES In the next column is an editorial from the Omaha Bee-News which makes the statement that the enroll ment in universities and colleges in the United States has increased 25 per cent in the last five years. The editorial points this out as a noteworthy fact signifying a greater prosperity for the people in general permit ting many young men and women to attend higher in stitutions of learning. Expansion of College) Enrollment Some very interesting figures were given out by Dean Raymond Walters of Swarthmore college, con cerning enrollment at the universities and colleges of the United States. He says that in the last five years the growth is 25 per cent. Regardless of the comment made by some educators, this is a noteworthy fact. If anything, it signifies a greater prosperity for the people in general, permitting many young men and women to attend the higher institutions of learning: It lso shows that many more are being attracted by the possibilities of extended study. To contehJ that not all of these will profit ex tensively through their experience is not at all con- . . 11 Vl J- 1 vincing. Some certainly win, proDaDiy me greater number. And society will gain from having more and more of its members carefully trained in the funda mentals as well as the extensions of learning. No mat ter where a man or woman is situated in life, a thor ough education is far from being a handicap. If the learned professions are overcrowded, the need for their being replenished by the well trained is always present. The unworthy or unfit will find other employ ment. But many a boy or girl goes from school back to the farm, or enters business life, employing the things learned at the university by applying them in their daily work. The University of Nebraska makes a good show ing in the compilation made by Dean Walters. At pres ent the full time enrollment numbers 6,239 student.?. It is not so very long ago that a student body of 1,200 was regarded as huge and almost unwieldy at Lincoln. With part time and summer school students, Nebraska has an enrollment of 8,853.

Dr. C. C. Wiedemann Has Collection Of Musical Instruments Made by S$lf This inrraso in enrollment is viewed with alarm by a certain group of intellectuals who contend that equipment. Surely, that is money well spent, for its universities and colleges are becoming too large and benefits come back directly through the influence of that higher education should be limited to the few who muucius on tne common me, are capable of making the highest use of their learning, fine ability during his nineteen years as chancellor.

' Thev favor smaller institutions and more intensive edu cation of a few persons rather than the education of the greatest number possible. It is true that the enrollment of a university may become too large for the equipment provided. This condition exists at the University of Nebraska at the present time. However, if the equipment is sufficient, the larger the enrollment in our universities the better for the country as a whole. The greater the number of educated men and women we have, the more pro ductive and prosperous the country will be. Russia has always had a few highly educated men and women, but, because the vast majority of the people were un educated, it is today a backward nation. It would seem, then, that the best results are to be obtained, not by exerting influence to cut down the enrollment in higher institutions of learning, but to increase the amount of equipment to take care of the increased enrollment, and to expand our colleges and universities to take care of the largest number possible.

(So reads a notice in the Nebraskan.) Although the Green Goblins had their cheek slap ped by the Student Council they seem to take it in all good faith, and turn the other one. Their persistence is admirable. SIX DAYS OFF The crisis is almost here. Twice each year comes that dreaded and crucial period when University stu dents are jarred out of their placid state into one of Schoolhousei A Little Rec The increase in the fees charged students at the University of Nebraska, made last Tuesday by the board of regents, may be good practical politics, but it takes another resounding whack at the foundation .of the public school system which has been the loudest of our patriotic boasts. When, early in the life of this country, we ac quired the habit of thrusting out our chests and point ing pridefully to the "little red schoolhouses" on the crossroads, our pride was not in the fact that there were schools there there were plenty of them in other countries in the world but in the fact that there were schools there which were supported by the common wealth itself, schools to which our boys and girls might go and acquire an education whether they were rich or poor. Te were not so proud that we had schools, airl we were proud that we, as a nation, had advanced far enouph in enlightenment ourselves to realize that the destruction of ignorance is a matter of the first public importance, especially in the preservation of demo cratic institutions; something so public in interest that its cost should gladly be paid out of the public purse. If it is now necessary for the regents of the Uni versity of Nebraska more and more t require the students to finance the institution themselves either because the legislatures won't appropriate the money or because the regents believe it might be politically dangerous to ask enough, then it's time to quit the cheap business of boasting about the little red schoolhouse. W e should either quit the bragging or pay the bills. But, the state does furnish some of the funds to the university, so perhaps it still is permitted to ex pand our chests and point proudly to the schoolhouse a little red. ' Omaha World-Herald.

At the time of this epidemic, the high iron fence which formerly sur rounded the campus was still stand ing. No person was admitted through the gates of this fence without cards signifying vaccination or daily in spection. In this manner the epidemic was combatted. Some older members of the faculty recall an earlier small pox scare sixteen or seventeen years ago, which was successfully stamped out before anything serious had hap pened.

The first preliminary examination will be held, this month, at which all American citizens under twentv-sev- en are eligible. The second prelim inary examination is open to the five winners, and two alternates, of the first examination, and to some twen ty others who were exempted from that one, and will be held March 18. will By Boulah Montgomery Dr. C. C. Wiedemann, of Teachers College, had a very curious coli"C tion of some 200 musical instru ments, all of which he has made him self. There are instruments in all four fields in this collection: wind; reed, string, and precussion. Tho following arc typical instruments in the collection: kindletone, ' unichord, kassaphone, bladario, musical box, musical can, discophone, wooden chimes, funnellophone, pottery bells, Pan's pipes, musical pencile, hosines, automobile pump, and musical glass es. The use of these instruments is found to be interesting to both young and old. They are sjell-bind-ing to school children. He has just completed a book en titled "Adventures with Home-made Musical Instruments," which, covers fifty of these instruments. It is prepared especially for the us of these instruments. It is prepared especially for the use of children be tween the ages of twelve And six teen. Each instrument under con sideration Is first defined.

The mus ic is reduced to numbers in place of notes. Dr. Weidemann plans to write at least one more book on this subject. Book on Children's Music In his course on "The Develop, ment of Musical Ability in Children " about one-third of&he work is de voted to the subject of home-made musical instruments and their use. The field is graded in difficulty from the kindergarten through the high school. In the connection, music ia defined as audible and variable vi bration under human control. Dr. Weidemann has played these instruments at points on both coasts, and before national bodies of musi cians. Four years ago last summer he crossed the continent, making his way by playing these instruments in auto camps. He uses folk songs for the most part. A fundamental purpose underly. ing this interesting field of endeavor is stimulation of the child to appre ciate more potently the musical na ture of his environment.

CADETS START LAST WEK Final Event in Inter-Company Meet Set for Indoor Track The third and last week of the 'cadet track meet started Monday when Company A was put through the final events, the 35-pound weight throw, the high hurdles and the one lap relay. Seven events have already been run oft. All the companies will finish this week, after which high scores will be compiled. The purpose of the meet is to un cover any prospective track material and to acquaint every man with the science of it, so he can understand how difficult it is to pole vault elev en feet or run the hundred yard Hash in 9.8 seconds.

Students should not confuse, their responsibilities with their desires for recreation, just before this hectic period of finals. It is praiseworthy to study hard, but it is more admirable to learn how to study the most effectively, and also manage to indulge in the usual happy round of dances and entertainment that Univer sity students have a right to enjoy. A well-rounded student, the one who will probably become the most successful man or woman, learns how to balance work and play. But there is too much at stake this week and next for unheeding students to risk failing examina tions in favor of entertainment, when additional hard study would materially raise their chances of passing. Wonders may be accomplished this week in last minute preparations.
