American Museums Diffuse Culture
While Europeans Have Merely Show
Places, Says Prof. V. Macchioro
By OLIVER DeWOLF.
Speaking of museums, Professor Vittofio Slaechioro, cura
tor of the national museum at Naples, has noticed several out
standing differences in museums in the United States and
Europe.
"The essential difference." said Professor Maechioro, "is
that the European museums stick to the old idea that a museum
is a collection of old and interest
ing objects, nothing more or noth
ing less. The American museums
believe that besides the Interesting
features, they have some educa
tional aims."
Dii'fuse Culture.
The main effort, according to
Professor Macchioro. In the Amer
ican system is the diffusing of cul
ture, among the students, scliocl.
and Uie American people. "It is
the educational activity that is
very f&r from the European idea.
Why, no European museum would
think of having concerts and edu
cational featurti for children,'
said Prof. Macchioro. "This edu
cational feature has bad an influ
ence on the museums and their
feature. For example, they use
ts and reproductions very much,

H. A. White, professor of Eng

the author of an article entitled
"Whither the Trend in Debating?"
which appears in the February
number of The Quartely Journal
of Speech.
The article is a compilation of
answers to a questionnaire an
swered by 159 colleges and univer
sities throughouth the country. It
is not interpretative, but merely a
"report of the classification of re
plies" received from the question
naire, which dealt with modern de
bate problems in colleges, and em
phasized such matters as public in

"This is being done in an effort
to give university students whether

A. J . tf

PHI GAM'S SICK US!
Five Are Confined to Bed;
None Are in Critical
Condition.
Although none of the members
on the Phi Cauisa Delta sick list
is seriously ill it has been found
advisable for some of the mumps
and influenza victims to return
home to recuperate. Maurice Pat
terson, North Platte, and Allison
Lambeth, Syracuse, have both left
the chapter house for their respec
tive homes. Allan Shrimph and
Keith Hopewell, both ill with the
mumps, are improving at the uni
versity infirmary. Walt Baker is
also convalescing under hospital
care. He was taken ill with influ
enza several days ago.
Dr. R. A. Lyman, head of elu
dent health service, said yesterday
that no new cases of either influ
enza or mumps had been reported
to blm since Saturday. Two of
the seven influenza cases under
treatment at the infirmary bave
developed symptoms of scarlet
fever, with the prevalence on me
campus of mumps, bad colds and
influenze, the Infirmary has been
taking care of five to twelve cases
a day, of varying severity. No epi
demic of alarming proportions is
feared by Dr. Lyman, who looks
upon the situation as being well in
hand.
and although they like to bave
originals they fill uj the gaps
with the others. The European
museums use only originals."
Professor Macchioro believes
that this fashion makes the Amer
ican museum more popular than
the European museums. "The
American museums are often the
very center of culture," he said.
"In Europe," declared the Pro
fessor, "the population avoid the
museums because there is no one
mere to explain to them the mean
ings of the th'ngs they see. I
think that the difference in the
American and European museums
must be explained by the Amer
ican interest in education, which

ELLIOTT GIVES TALK
Says There Are Many Things
About That Country We
Should Know.
"There are many splendid things
in China that we need to know
about," stressed T. W. Elliott in
his talk at Vespers, Tuesday aft
ernoon at Ellen Smith ball. "They
have thought through many things
that we bave not even started on."
"China," continued Mr. Elliott,
"is facing a great educational
problem." There are only one or
two people wno can read or write.
China has four times the number
of people that we have to. take
care of, and she has only a few
trained teachers to take care of
the large number of students in
the Chinese schools. They bave no
courses of study which sny group
of educators would agree to.
Anti-Religious Feeling.
A strong anti-religious move
ment has been going on in China.
There baa been much fighting to
do away with Christianity. But
now that the Chinese are learning
of Christianity in churches and in
schools, there has been les santag
onlsm than there has been for the
last seven years. "The Chinese,"
according to Mr. Elliott, "are tak
ing a deeper interest in Christian
ity than they ever have before."
Mr. Elliott continued to say that it
is a common opinion of the Amer
ican people today that China does
not want to learn, but the fact
that they are taking interest in
Christianity shows that they do.
Tbe Y. M. C. A. in China is paid
for by the Chinese people; the
same is done about tbe Y. W. C
A. in China. Last year, in six cities
in China, a campaign was spon
sored for tbe Y. M. C. A. and more
money was given than ever before.
175,000 in American money, was
contributed. This money was not
from tbe Americans in those cities,
but from the Chinese business
men. "We support the secretaries
that show them bow, and give
them the idea, but they support
tbe actual work," stated Mr. El
liott.
Trsvel Is Problem.
Mr. Elliott, also, spoke about
the problems of transportation la

HEAR T. ELLIOTT
AT NOON T
Chinese Y. M. Worker Will
Tell of Experiences
In Orient.
T. M. Elliott, who has spent
twenty-four years in the east, and
most of which were in China in
the service of the Y. M. C. A. is to
be the speaker at the World For
um meeting today noon at the An
nex cafe, when he will tell of the
recent development of China and
the relation of the Chinese student
to this development.
Mr. Elliott claims that the
United States does not realize
what progress China has been
making in recent years in spite of
her civil wars. Further, he says it
is peculiar, but the Chinese hear
of just as many horrid tales of
America and our gang warfare as
we bear of their bandit life.
China Progresses.
That China 'is progressing is
shown from the fact that last year
she completed her greatest eco
nomic year, he declared. The Chi
nese university student is no doubt
playing a large part in the devel
opment, Mr. Elliott asserts. It is a
fact that most of the members of
the cabinet now are students who
have returned from American uni
versities. There are now between
twelve and thirteen hundred Chi
nse studying in our schools.
Mr. Elliott is now in the United
States on furlough in the service
of the Y. M. C. A. He began his
work in the East in 1906 when
he went to Seoul, Korea as a
teacher in the Y. M. C. A. school.
From there he went to Honkong
and from there to Amoy where he
remained till 1927.
Is Third of Series.
This meeting is third of a series
of talks by outside speakers for
tbe Forum. Kirby Page and Dr.
Paul Harrison were the preceding
two. The meetings have all be n
well attended and C. D. Hayes,
general secretary, asks that those
winning to attend get their tickets
In advance at either the Y. M. or
Y. W. office. After the noon bour
meeting there will be sn open dis
cussion lor those who wish to stay.
Mr. Elliott also will be the
speaker at the regular monthly
Y. M. C. A. meeting on the Ag
campus Thursday evening at 7:00
p. m. in 306 Agricultural hall. He
will tell some of the student life of
China. The meeting is open to
all men of the agricultural college
and especially will the meeting be
of interest to those familiar with
the Hoover-China project. Greth
Dunn, president of the Ag Y. M.
will preside.

TAKE INTEREST IN
Alumni Secretary Addresses
Junior Class Meeting
Tuesday A. M.
GRADS' AID ESSENTIAL
Demand for Building Has to
Come From School to
Convince Alumni.
A student union building on Ne
braska's campus will become a
reality as soon as students say to
themselves, "We've got to have
one," Ray Ramsay, alumni secre
tary of the University of Nbraska,
told members of the junior class at
a meeting Tuesday morning.
"When you students actually be
come vitally interested in a stu
dent union building here, then I
will go to the alumni and seek sup
port for one," he said. Ramsay,
referred to as "Nebraska's Will
Rogers," this morning character
ized the attitude of students in re
gard to a student union building as
"wishy-washy." "You say to your
selvps, 'Maybe it would be nice
maybe it wouldn't take up too
much room." And so long as you
continue to say that, :alumni won't
do a thing for you," he told the
juniors at the meeting.
Say It's Terrible!
"When you say to yourselves,
"Isn't it terrible that we have no
such a place as a student union
building?' then one will soon be
come a reality." the speaker de
clared. '"When you appoint your
self a committee of one to spread
the idea of a student union build
ing on this campus and at home,
then you will be making some ac
tual progress toward one."
i T'Vi a n-iAnt inn so a A rf ami
heckling such as marked the sen
ior gathering some two weeks ago.
Like the senior meeting, it was
sponsored by the Innocents soci
ety, to promote the student union
building idea, an dto spread knowl
edge of what such a building
would do for students. William
T. McCleery, president of the In
nocents society, introduced Ram
say to the students, after a few
explanatory remarks as to the pur
poses of the Innocents society in
regard to the student union build
ing. Socl Contacts.
One of the greatest advantages
which a student union would bring
to this campus, according to Mr.
Ramsay, would be that of afford
ing social contacts. "It is these
contacts which you will remember
and profit by when you are out of
school," he told students. "You
will recall them long after you
have forgotten how to disect a
triangle. The friends you make
will be more useful to you than a
number of the courses you will
take," he declared.
It is these social contacts, Ram
say pointed out, which engender
school spirit. He charged the lacic
of spirit and loyalty to the univer
sity existing on this campus at tbe
present time to lack of a p!ac
which would afford adequate so
cial contacts. "Students are more
loyal to their fraternities and
sororities at the present time than
they ore to their university." tbe
speaker maintained. "This." he ex
plained, "is due to the fact that
their particular organizations
draw students into immediate ron
