TALK ON RELIGION
Mrs. Roy Green Speaks to
Management Group
Wednesday
"Tiie Religion of the Home." was
the subject of the talk given by
Mrs. Roy Green, member of the ad
visory board of the Y.W. C. A., to
the home management committee
Wednesday evening.
Mrs. Green emphasized the fsct
that children should be taurnt ren

ble. Children are taught religion by
wha,t the parents are ana now tney

tion when they are two or three
years old. Chidlren should be
taught not to feel God ss a person,
Ktit aa a vision, a SDlritual Idea
that la love. They should always
be conscious or God s presence.
eers Week are now being made.
The best means or religious ex
nrenftion lii the home are saying
grace, praying Individually and at
tending church, she said. It is well
to teach children that grace Is the
beginning, of the meal and the
nirit of thanks and peace result
throughout the meal. The home
has grown away from rarany
prayets, but every child should be
ht in nrav bv himself. The
parents should pray with very
small children and gradually let
them express themselves. There
are many kinds of standard
prayers, but those thit leave chil
dren with the feeling of peace and
aeriiHtv are the best to use. Spir
itual depth cannot be expected
from children, but any or mem can
understand simple prayers.
A rhlld should he taueht the
fundamental virtues such as love,
honesty and courage. These read

BURNETT PROPHESIES
Chancellor Says Second
Year Pledging Would
Follow Reform
That first year pledging by frat
ernities would be discarded Imme
diately after completion of a dor
mitory system at the University
of Nebraska, was a point brought
out by Chancellor K. A. Burnett at
a meeting of the Lincoln chapter
of American Association of Univer
sity Professors at the University
club last evening.
"By 1931 the proposed dormitory
system clH be xble to handle
nearly 800 freshman girls." de
clared the chancellor. "The legis
lature has appropriated $200,000
for construction, which will allow
1100,000 for purchase of property,
with $100,00 Oto apply on the cost
of building and $300,00 to be amor
tlxed," he explained.
Continuing, the Nebrasa adminis
trative leader said: "It is the plan
of the regents to sell 5 per cent
securities guaranteed only by rent
als and profits of the dining room,
which will be sufficient to pay off
Interest and principal within thirty
years. No other program of the
University has met with such wide
spread approval over the state at
this proposed dormitory plan."
