Reeder Editor Truman Oberndorf. . .Business Manager The Tape? Registration for summer school went very smoothly. To officials and workers in charge should go bowls of roses for looking after a great number of people with little - confusion. The whole thing looked very business-like and efficient. Only on one count might regis trants have room for complaint, graduate students are forced dur ing regular registration days to walk to the office of the college in the Chemistry building. It seems rather a foolish waste of their time, and smacks a little of red tape where none need to be. Why not move the graduate reg istration paraphernalia to the coli seum during the two days, just as every other college does? Or else permit graduate registration only oftAr school beeins? Men and women in freshly starched clothes are easily upset on hot days when forced to trot between Duiicnngs. Where There's Smoke . . . How many men and women in the land are re-acquiring a smok ing habit after a lay-off of more than nine months? How many are harjDV to be doine as they please, of small town intolerant shackles ? Many teachers feel that the small town of the middlewest binds them too closely with its careful scrutiny, its gossiping, its rigid blue laws. Yet the teachers of a town are looked up to as above the average. Nearly everyone in the community looks to schoolmen for something extra in knowledge and performance. Of course, it is the part of edu ptinn tn remove intolerance and superstition from a modern world Before a people can be really in telligent it must banish mental fear which causes actions and thoughts that lack the cool reason of tolerance. "It is startling to realize that our best authenticated knowledge hi still related to things rather hn men " said Dr. Robert G. " f Cproul last week in his com mencement address at Nebraska. fcbout man his personality with ! riivtnitv and Its baseness, nis tffllng kinships and interrela Bonships, we know so pitifully lit Be. Of the very stars in their rnumpft we know more than we know of human beings." Surely teachers err as often as anyone in this respect, and they Bhould be able to know men and judge the public mind. From their pedestal on which the town places them they should be able to see and measure. But most schoolmen are much less diplomatic about other thine than thev are about smoking. Too many Nebraska schoolmen worrv about making "contacts" with school boards and superin indents when they should worry about makine contacts with the average citizen of the community When will teachers learn that now and then they must look outside their books and talk the language of the town, be interested in its affairs ? After making contacts and do LEARN TO DANCE CImsci every Monday. Wednesday mni Friday, 25c Also private lessons by appointment LUELLA WILLIAMS ing a good job of teaching, too many schoolmen walk out and buy a new car. It cannot be over looked that people who help sup port school boards and pay teach ers are the average citizens. They drive down main street in automo biles five years old and build up little smoulders of hate for schools and educational systems that per mit luxuries to employees which employers cannot afford. When will schoolmen learn that their overdrafts are the bane of their banker's life? The business man would fail who could not budget his business; a school sys tem could not run long outside of its receipts. Yet schoolmen seem unable, as a class, to live on their salaries. What is the excuse ? They know their incomes? Are teachers worthy of a town's highest respect when they do not reason with the feelings of their townspeople? Can a teacher be expected to run a school or a classroom well if he cannot sum mon judgment into the handling of his own affairs? All of it is working a hardship on the country's system of educa tion and institutions. When dis tricts cut the school budget first and raise it last they are paying a direct slap at teachers. Of course, citizens of a town cannot understand all the work a teacher must do but they do see the cars, the clothes, vacations, short hours. Once teachers learn to live with in their incomes, then it may occur to the people of the community that they are cheapening their schools and making their teachers shoddy. Let schoolmen adopt a standard of living to fit their sal aries. It should react favorably toward education. If it does not, then teachers can truthfully say that Nebraskans are attempting to strangle their greatest institutions.

Up the Niobrara in 1884 went Jules Sandoz, "com ing from Switzerland to buna a mnnitv ." In western Nebras ka he was satisfied because he be lieved that "where sunflowers grow tall, corn win grow. Miss Sandoz relates that her father had his leg broken when they were digging his first well. He was in the dirt bucket, and the rope broke. He dropped 65 feet into the well. TninKing ne was not seriously hurt his helpers went on a trip to Valentine. Troopers found him on tne eighteenth day, delirious, carrying his rifle along the wagon trail. They put him in a wagon and took him to Fort Robinson where was practising a little known doctor Walter Reed later to become world famous for his yellow fever fight in Cuba. Sandoz refused to let him amputate the leg, though he was left crippled from the ac cident. " 'Old Jules' was in jail several times," says his biographer, "for shooting at the neighbors. Of course he didn't do it," she adds hurriedly, "or he would have hit them, for he was the best shot in the family, though we all learned to shoot." She tells of the time he was bit ten on the hand by a rattlesnake. Mari held the horses while her father placed his hurt hand on the wagon wheel and with the other shot off the poisoned, puffing wound. Then sne arove mm help, but the poison was gone. After the free land had been fenced, Jules Sandoz turned to work in his orchard and with his crops. He grew new kinds of plums that bear his name, and made his orchard famous. Miss Sandoz will continue to write. One novel, already written, has been at the publishers waiting until times are better. She is al ready writing on two others.
