REGISTRATION
Registration" totals at the close
of the second week indicate" that
the total enrollment this summer
may even be greater than that of
last year. This comes as a surpris
to those who predicted that on ac
count of adverse economic condi
tions the 1931 summer session
would attract a fewer number of
- students than in normal years.
Reasons given by many who
have enrolled for work this sum'
mer after an absence of a few
years show it is on account of ad
verse conditions that they have re
turned to school once more. This
is also true for many students who
are continuing their r e g u 1 a
studies in the summer session.
Many teachers and students took
advantage of various kinds of
work during past summers. But
this year such opportunities were
very scarce. There were no jobs,
or else they had been taken by
men who, being temporarily out of
work, were forced to depend upon
chance bits of work. So, having no
work, many decided that now
would be a good time to do gradu
ate work or add to the number of
credits necessary for a degree.
New requirements have also
resulted in the enrollment of many
teachers for summer work. Hav
ir.g taught for a certain length of
time, they must come back for ad
ditional study in order to continue
m the teaching profession.
Especially gratifying is the in
crease in the graduate college and
in academic work. For it would
seem to indicate that an increasing
number of teachers are coming to
the realization that even more im
portant than experience and the
mechanics of teaching is the devel
opmert of a cultural background.
WHAT THEY SAY
GRINDING FACES
OF THE F00R
When Mr. Steele of Kimball
county gets home from the pres
ent session of the legislature, he
should take down his Bible and
read the fifteenth verse of the
third chapter of Isaiah. For fear
be will not have time, here is the
verse for bis consideration:
"Wliat mean ye that ye beat My
people to pieces, and grind the
faces of the poor? saith the Lord
God c f Hosts."
In the house, Saturday, Mr.
Steele supported a motion to re
" ice the wages and salaries of all
ttate employes, and of all the fac
ulty and employes of the Univer
sity of Nebraska as well. In bis
argument for this action he boasted
that he is now hiring men for half
as much as he paid two years ago,
w hen wages were $6 and $8 a day.
'And I'm getting a good deal
more work out of them, too," he
loid the house. "It used to be that
they would not work more than
eight or nine hours a day. Now
they get out at sunup and keep
right at it all day."
When all employers have adopted
Mr. Steele's program, and work
men are driven from sunup to sun
down for meager, starvation pay,
v ho will buy the wheat and sugar
beets Mr. Steele is interested in
raising? And what prices will he
pet for the farming implements be
is selling?
Employers who selfishly take
advantage of the dire predicament
ff men seeking work these days
might also read the fourteenth
verse of Isaiah III:
"The Lord will enter into judg
ment with the ancients of His peo
ple, and the princes thereof; for
ye have eaten up the vineyard;
the spoil of the poor is in your

STUDENT OPINION
If Pythagoras Should
Come to N. U.
Should the ancient Greek philos
opher, Pythagoras return from the
realm of shades to increase his
wisdom in TC at N. U.; he would
no doubt paraphrase his statement
of old that if he had a place where
on to stand and a lever sufficiently
long, he could lift the earth .and
say as many a Grad. feels: "Jt i
had a place to stand or sit in the
classroom and a library not so hot,
I could get my lessons.
The schooldads who pay hard
earned "iron men" to get courses
that will fit them for larger serv
ice to the state of Nebraska feel
that they are imposed upon when
compelled to be jammed together
in classrooms like sardines in a
box.
If this be hot air, make the
most of it. We do.
One of the TC Grads.
Knockers!
Knockers! You'd be surprised to
know how many subnormal knock
ers are. to be found among the
poker faced schooldads that re
turn to the campus of good old N.
U. every year. This summer ses
sion is worse than ever.
What do they knock about?
They grumble about their grub,
holler about the heat, crab about
the courses, sweat about the study
hall in the library, whimper about
why they have to write a thesis,
sputter about parking space, growl
about grades, prittle-prattle about
Profs., wail " about the wets, de
fame the drys, gabble about golf,
knock on everything. Every time
they open their mouth they show
how unfit they are to direct the
affairs of a school system and how
rotten they are as community
leaders.
They are to be pitied. They have
never learned the meaning of the
maxim, "You can t saw wood witn
hammer." A STUDENT.

INTERESTING EDUCATIONAL SIDELIGHTS
PHILLIPS EXETER ACADEMY
(From "Time" Mogaxlne).
In the extreme southeast corner
of New Hampshire, fifty miles
north of Boston, is the town of
Exeter, where John Phillips in
1781 founded Phillips Exeter Acad
emy. Twenty-five miles nearer
Boston is Andover, where John's
nephew, Samuel, founded Phillips
Academy one year earlier. (His
school later became "Phillips
Academy at Andover" to distin
guish it from his uncle's school at
Exeter.)
Exeter and Andover have flour
ished mightily until today they are
the twin giants of prep schools in
size and in prestige. Other schools
are certainly more fashionable,
possibly more potent scholastically,
improbably more prolific in first-
string athletes. But no other
schools have the glamour of Exe
ter and Andover whose histories
are as long as their rosters of stu
dents.
Three weeks ago many wealthy
and scholarly alumni returned to
Exeter for its 150th anniversary
wnere, among other things, a let'
ter of congratulation from Presl
dent Hoover was read at the
alumni luncheon.
Scholars Recognized.
True to its New England tradi
tions, .mxeter welcomed to its 150th
anniversary not primarily men of
weaitn or family but men of learn
ing. At the commemorative ex
ercises, the platform was crowded
witn the deans and presidents of
great eastern schools and colleges.
Speech of the day was that of
President Abbott awrence Lowell.
of Harvard, who asked for less
coddling and babying in modern
education; declared that a child
should read "fluently" at five and
certainly at six" and went on to
say: "This retardation runs
through tbe whole process. In sec
ondary schools we study what
should have been finished earlier;
in college we do what should have
been done at school. . ."
A better theme could not have
been chosen because Exeter, with
its sister school Andover, is noted
for its grownup atmosphere. Its
students are older and more ma
ture than in most prep schools.
Many of them come from the
small manufacturing towns of
Massachusetts and New Hamp
shire to work their way thru Exe
ter by waiting on table at Alumni
Hall and doing odd jobs around
the school and town.

COLUMBUS The universities
committee of the Ohio house of
representatives was committed to
a policy of non-interference with
the business and academic affairs
of Ohio State university.
It decided there is no need to
inquire into the action of the uni
versity trustees in dismissing Her
bert Miller, internationally known
sociologist. It also concluded that
nothing is to be gained by investi
gation the trustees' business trans
actions or the question of compul
sory military training for stu
dents. Dr. Miller's case developed a lot
of debate when the professor ap
peared before the committee and
told them he could discover no rea
son for the trustees' action "except
the personal animosity of Julius
Stone, chairman of the board."

No Special Attention.
Few boys who need special at
tention find their way to Exeter,
or last long after getting there
There are few rules. Smoking is
allowed in the rooms tho not on
the street; seniors must be in
their dormitory by ten, all others
by eight: there is no lights out-
time. The chief faculty check on
undergraduate amusements is the
famed, and perhaps legenaary.
"Black List" of town girls. To be
seen with a girl on this list means
instant expulsion.
This freedom, almost that of a
college undergraduate, stems
largely from the practice of letting
students room i n private nouses
around town instead of concen
trating them in dormitories. Tho
the new dormitories recently
built have ereatly reduced the
number of "out students" the
idea that a student's extra-curricular
activities are his own
business still persists. Even the
force of public opinion, so power
ful in smaller schools, is com
paratively weak in Exeter.
The great Exeter tradition is
of course, rivalry with Andover,
which is all the more comparable
to the Harvard-Tale rivalry be
cause Exeter has been a predomin
antly Harvard school, (tho of late
she has sent many sons to Yale
and Princeton) and Andover has
been almost completely Yale. And
so the climax of the sequicenten
nial celebration for the rank and
file of alumni and boys, was not
the impressive official ceremonies
but rather the fiftieth Exeter
Andover baseball game which was
played at Exeter in the glow of
the evening sun and which re
sulted in a victory for Exeter,
to 2.
Ancient tho it is, Exeter is
changing rapidly. Last November,
Edward Stephen HarKness, him
self not an Exeter man, gave $7,-
000,000 for a house plan, salary
increases, and new dormitories
Also active was the late Col. Wil
liam Boyce Thompson, who spent
much of his great mining wealth
in giving Exeter a big modern
gymnasium, athletic, science and
administration buildings and, last
year $1,000,000 more.
At present the school has some
650 students, sixty-five teachers,
many handsome Georgian build
ings, a Gothic church designed by
Ralph Adams Cram, one of the
outstanding prep school libraries,
and an endowment of over $6,000,-
