share of the" recognition which should be theirs. The
coach and his work are continually in the public eye,
and every detail of accomplishment is broadcast far
and wide. The football team has a physical appeal; it is
simple; the same can hardly be said for the sphere in
which the scholar moves.
There is competition, to be sure, that keeps the
football coach abreast of the newest developments; but
there is an intellectual urge which keeps every real
scholar not only abreast but in the forefront of the
accomplishments in his field. There is no doubt but
what football teams go on the field inspired with the
task before them, but it is an inspiration much akin to
mob psychology and animal impulse, and has no coun
terpart in the inspiration of the classroom.
If conditions at Cornell are really as bad as pre

'Mrs. True Homemaker of Radio Fame
Is Sponsored By Home Ec Department
For the past two years the home
makers of Nebraska who have radios
in their homes have had the oppor
tunity of listening to "Mrs. True
Homemaker's Half Hour" every
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday af
ternoons from 9:30 until 10 o'clock.
This program is sponsored by the
department of home economics and
the University Extension Service.
"Mrs. True Homemaker' is Mrs. J. P.
Colbert, a graduate of the depart
ment of home economics of the Uni
versity of Nebraska and a homemak
er in Lincoln.
Recipe and Menus
Every Monday and Wednesday
morning Mrs. True Homemaker gives
recipes and menus to her radio au
diences. These are practical recipes
that every housewife can use. After
the recipes are given over the radio
they are mimeographed and distrib'
uted to people who request them.
Since last September Mrs. True
Homemaker has received 2661 letters
asking for recipes and menus. More
requests ar coming in every day, no
only from residents of Nebraska but
also from Iowa, Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois, Minnesota, Florida, Tennes
see, California, New York, Oregon,
Idaho, and Canada.
But recipes are not the only things
that Mrs. True gives her listeners.
Manv homemakers are benefited by
the suggestions which she gives on
diet and its relation to health, home
furnishinor and decoration, books,
games, and parties, as well as other
hints which are of intense interest
and of immense value to housewives.

REV. ERCK DISCUSSES
SIGNIFICANCE OF LENT
(Continued from Page 1)
added Rev. Erck.
Lent Last Six Weeki
Lent is that period of six weeks
preceding Easter, beginning on Ash
Wednesday and culminating on Good
Friday, during which early Christians
gave especial consideration to that
portion of the scripture which deals
with the passions of the Lord, he ex
plained. A continuous passion his
tory is found in the intervening gos
pels, Mathew, Mavk, Luke, and St.
John and none is complete in itself.
"Sections of this passion history
are read in the services of the
churches. Incidents or personalities
of this history form the topic for
sermons. The point that is stressed
above all is that Jesus Christ was
our substitute in vicarious atone
ment," declared the pastor.
What is known as Moundy Thusr-
day was explained by Rev. Erck. On
this evening, which precedes Good
Friday, the institution of the Lord's
Supper of Holy Communion is com-i
memorated. "At this time, Jesus,
according to the Jewish custom, cele
brated the feast of the Passover with
his disciples.
"After His last celebration of the
Passover with his disciples, Jesus in
stituted Holy Communion and de
clared that Christians should -at all
times celebrate this in his memory,"
continued the pastor. "He likewise
tells us that in His Holy Communion J
he gives us his body and blood, the
price of our redemption, as a seal
and pledge of the full forgiveness of
our sins."
Student la Sinner
That the observance of Lent is not
only a source of strengthening a
Christian's faith but also a stimulus
for conservation of self to the Lord
and Savior, "who has loved us unto
death," was another point empha
sized by Rev. Erck.
In showing the relation or signi
ficance of Lent to the student, the
clergyman added: "The student like
all other human beings is a sinner.
He needs Christ not only as a model
but as a Savior just like other men.
He should have proper consideration
of the Lenten message because it is
a source through which his faith is
strengthened, his love towards Christ
renewed, and his character strength
ened so as to lead a Christ life."
As a final charge to Christians, St.
Faul in his second book to the Corin
itians 5,15, has the following to say,
which Rev. Erck especially empha
sized: "He died for all, that they which
live should not henceforth live untd
themselves but unto Him which died
for them and rose again."

DELIVERS TALK

side of it. And he fancies he likes
some other kind of work because he
knows too little of the unfavorable
and relatively much of the better
sides."
Linking this answer with the med
ical profession, the doctor stated
that the glamour that accompanies
this sort of endeavor often wins over
many adherents and new members.
"For example, there is the name
'Doctor' which goes with the profes
sion. Many are to be led on merely
on that account. And then there may
be the good automobile and the per
sonal appearance, all of which tends
to attract more and more young men
into the work.
It Attract Me?"
:But thai question is whether the
medical profession attracts me or
not," he continued. "Am I to be
hoodwinked by this glamour or false
view? My answer to this is for every
candidate to make contact in every
possible way early in his student
career with as many phases of medi
cal work as he can."
Secondly, the question of chances
present in the medical profession for
service to God and man was pro
pounded by Dr. Welch. Replying to
this questirn, he mentioned several
methods by which doctors can give
service to humanity in an appreciable
degree such as work tn foreign fields
as well as that done here in the
United States.
"The field of research especially
offers exceptional orpurt unities," as-
se.-ted the doctor. "There are so
many diseases for which cures have
not been found that it is obvious
that anyone would be doing wonder
ful service to man and his Creator
should he be able to secure some of
these cares. It challenges every man
and woman daily in every phase of
the great profession."
"After the bread and butter de-
gree of earning power in the yrofes
sion is reached, align yourself with
some phase of community uplift such
as the church, the schools, and civic
betterment and you will find your
status in the community taking care
of itself," he advised.
A short informal discussion follow
ed the lecture during which the stu
dents were given the opportunity to
ask the doctor questions concerning
the profession of medicine.
Dr. Welch is a graduate of the
University of Nebraska and the
Northwestern Medical school at Chi
cago. He also hes studied aoroad
having attended the University of
Vienna, University of Berlin, and
numerous clinics in Japan, India,
Siam, Philippine Islands, Jiava, as
well as Europe.
Next week "The Ministry" will be
presented by Dr. Clifton H. Walcott,
pastor o. the First Bapti-rt church.
This will be the fifth lecture of the
series.
Dean Holmes of Harvard
Gives Views on Present
System of Education
Cambridge, Mass. (New Student
Service) "Education suffers in
American from confusion of pur
poses," H. W. Holmes, dean of the
Harvard graduate school of educa
tion, told a Crimson reporter, in an
other diagnosis of the country's edu
cational ills.
"Justified a hundred-fold in our
faith in schooling as an instrument of
democracy," he said, "we have cared
more for the spread of education
than for its fitness for specific ends,
"The root of the difficulty lies in
the relationship between the secon
dary schools and the colleges. Our
students come to college 'prepared'
but with hardly the beginings of an
education. Contrasted with the stu

"The commanding problem of lib

problem of unifying secondary edu

"To find a remedy for the existing
