CONFERENCE CLOSES
Over Fifty Delegates Attend
Meetings on State
Farm Campus.
More than fifty delegates from
Nebraska high schools and col
legs were present at the second
annual conference on Industrial
arts and trade and Industrial edu
cntion, at the college of agricul
ture which closed Saturday.
An outstanding talk of the con
f rence was given by L. H. Al-(jw-rty,
supervisor of the industrial
education at Lincoln high school.
He stressed the fact that the sub
ject material in industrial educa
tion must be directly related to
practical industry to be successful.
H. E. Bradford, professor of vo
cational education at the Univer
sity of Nebraska, spoke before the
conference on, "Teaching Related
Subjects." He also put special
stress on the success of teaching
related subjects in all schools.
The closing address of the con
ference was given by Dr. Homer
Smith of the University of Minne
sota on, "Some Matters in Con
flict." Students Use Gruniiiiann
Mythology Pamphlet
ii Students in the school of fine
y arts are making use of the new
Ji pamphlet that was issued early in
the fall by Prof. Paul H. Grum
I man, director of the school, deal
!: ing with "Northern Mythology."
In the foreward, Professor Grum
man points out that many people
: fail to delve into tlieir own Myth
ology, looking to Greek and
. Hebraic lore instead. This study
explains northern gods and Symbolism.
'Smiths' Lose Lead in University to
'Johnsons;' Swedes Win First Again
There are ten "King's" in the
new yellow backed student direc-
' tory and there are no "Queen's."
But that is as it should be because
there are no "Women" but three
students named "Mann" are listed.
And of course there are no
"Weeks" because there are only
', four "Day's."
J, Thirty-six states are repre
sented, including the District of
Vpolumbla, and sixteen foreign
countries. Iowa Is the native state
of the greatest number of non-Ne-'
braskan Cornhuskers and there
are several states with only one
' i representative each.
More students come from the
I Philippine Islands than from any

I dents on the campus from British
West Indies. Canada.1 Canal Zone.

Much praise waa bestowed upon
the acting of W. Zolley Lerner who
took the leading role of John Fer
guson. Mr. turner portrays the
part of an old peasant farmer to
perfection. His long whlto beard
and hair, his paternal voice, make
him appear very fatherly. Mr.

markable way In which aha In

young daughter who Is wronged
by the man holding the mortgage
on the farm. Miss Hosman did not
know until five days prior to the
opening night that she would take
the part. She knows an admirable
aptitude for emotional parts.

IS FOUNDAT ARCHER
Blackman Receives Picture
Of Relic Which Is 500
Years Old.
A photograph of a specimen of
Pawnee Indian pottery judged to
be nearly bOO years old was sent
to E. E. Blackman. curator of the
Nebraska State Historical society
by a resident of Archer, Neb., who
states that a friend found the old
pot a few miles southwest of Ar
cher, Neb., at a point along Prairie
creek where It washes into a high
bank.
The pot holds nearly a gallon
and Is In good state of preserva
tion with the exception of a small
chip broken from the bottom. The
donor of this photograph in his
letter stated that if the Historical
society is not in possession of such
a specimen he will turn it over to
the museum at an early date.
The specimen is very old as
home out by the fact that when
the Indian tribes came in contact
with the whites they secured metal
pots from them, and as a result,
only three specimens of Pawnee
pottery of this type have been
found.
Mr. Blackman intends to go to
Archer in the near future to ex
amine the pot and make negotia
tions to bring it back to Lincoln.
