Dorothy Bentz Editor Jane Walcott Associate Editor Robert Wadhams Business Manager Value in Music Project The fourth all-state high school music course is no longer an experiment. It has proved its worth in the past and this year, with over a hundred young musicians taking part in the four-week's program, the progress is expected to be great and the attainment unexcelled in the past. Nebraska's youth is to have a musical education! Out of the Prairie state will grow men and women who, though perhaps not in spired musicians themselves, none the less have had instilled within them an appreciation for the glib regalias of Chopin, Bach, Beethoven, and the other conventional masters. Such education is indispensable for true culture. With the study and knowledge of fine music comes a love and understanding of that music. For those who know it, music is meaningful, for some even more meaningful than literature. For those who do not know it, those who do not feel the power of melli fluous rhymes and minor melodies, it is un availing. Music and the allied arts give cheer and comfort and richness to life. They bring beauty to a materialistic civilization, a beauty which contributes to the morale and stability of a nation. It is a well-known fact that social unrest gains its readiest recruits among men who have not found beauty and joy in their work and in their environment. Music leaders at the University have rea lized the value of musical training for the young, and hence have founded a now ex panding organization to provide for such edu cation. Its leaders are encouraged with the progress that the course has made in its short life time. They are justified in seeing bright prospects for its continuance and greater growth in the future ; they are helping to meet an urgent need for a declaration of faith that the arts are not optional luxuries for the few, but are essential for the complete living of the many. Educational Ideas Change. Emphasis on individual efficiency and so cial responsibility that is the keynote of mod em educational curriculum building. It is being stressed especially at the sessions of the third annual educational conference. It is probable that no teacher with actual experience in the field has escaped the criticism that he does not work toward the fulfillment of the fundamen tal aims of all education. This is a serious criticism, and in many cases it is a justifiable one. Because educators in the past have ne glected their social responsibility it docs not necessarily follow that they should continue to do so in the future. In a continuously evolv ing modern world, educators, too, must be modern. The Nebniskan believes that such a mod ernization cannot be brought about simply by educational conferences, such as the one now in progress on the campus. These discussions demonstrate how the curriculum may be recon structed to motivate thinking and direct actions so that the individual may become more efficient and gain a sense of responsibility. It is necessary, however, that every teacher shall individually carry out these new ideas. It is unavailing for educational leaders to set up pirns for changing the educational setup if the teachers are not, each and every one, staunch believers in the idea and are not ready to sac rifice themselves in the interest of humanity. It is necessary that teachers be sincere, that they be in sympathy with mankind, that they have faith in its future progress, and that they have a desire to serve the great cause of this progress. In every profession, there will inevitably be some that are not earnest. It should be the duty of leaders in the field of education to let teachers sec their responsi bility in correcting the now somewhat preva lent attitude that American schools involve "a provision for endless apparatus, a bustle of infinite inquiry and research, employed to evade real labor, the real labor of thinking." NEWS OF THE NEWS T ANDON'S activities during his campaign J will be covered by an Associated 1 rcss portable Wirephoto transmitter that was sent to Topeka after the Cleveland convention ended. In Topeka also, a special photo bureau has been opened in connection with the regular nationwide Wirephoto network for the cam paign. Pictures relating to the presidential aspirant and his activities will be supplied by Clarence L. Hamm, who has been moved to the Kansas capital from his post on the A. P. photo staff in Kansas City. A veteran photog rapher, Hamm was covering Landon even be fore he was first mentioned for the presiden tial nomination. NEWSPAPER representatives, approximate ly 1.600 of them, representing all sections of the globe, swarmed into Yankee Stadium recently to write the story of the fight be tween Joe Louis and Max Schmeling. Aus tralia, Japan, France, Germany, England, Italy, Hungary, Sweden, Mexico, and South America all sent their experts to cluster around the ring, in addition to a huge army of America's best-known newspaper authors. In telling the startling story of how the brown bomber was knocked cold, the Japanese and Australian scribes had to use discretion in choosing their language, as it cost 36 cents a word to cable the story back home. NEWSPAPERS have for many years played their part in the life of Republian Vice Presidential Candidate Frank Knox. Colonel Knox, now publisher of the Chicago Daily News, sold newspapers in Grand Rapids, Mich. until his graduation from high school. After his graduation from college and his experi ences as a Rough Rider in the Spanish-Amer ican war, he again went to work on a Grand Rapids newspaper, as a reporter. After serv ing as city editor and circulation manager in that city, he became the publisher of the Sault Ste. Marie (Mich.) News, a weekly paper, at the age of 27. At the age of 43 Colonel Knox loft his publishing business in 191.7 to enlist in the First New Hampshire Infantry for service in the World War. After the war he returned to his newspapers and his success on the Man chester papers attracted the attention of Wil- iam Randolph Hearst, who made several offers to which Colonel Knox paid little attention. In 1927 Colonel Knox took charge of the Bos ton American and Advertiser, then said to be losing money rapidly. The vice - presidential nominee received for his services $50,000 a year, and continued his ownership of the Man chester papers. Colonel Knox made such a good record in economies and management that the next year he was promoted to be general manager of all Hearst newspapers at a salary reported to have been $150,000 a year. Because of a difference of opinion regarding economies during the de pression, according to report, Knox left the Hearst employ in 1931. In the same year with Theodore T. Ellis, a Worcester publisher and industrialist, as a backer, he bought the Chi cago Daily News, with its radio station, WMAQ. TELEVISION demonstration programs, con sisting of short-subject films and news- reels, are being held daily in Los Angeles. The programs arc transmitted from Station WGXAO and are reproduced on a late type-of cathode ray receiver. The receiver is the self synchronized cathode ray tube and consists of the athode ray tube unit, two scanning sources, the television signal amplifier and power supply. The images are composed of 300 lines repeated twenty-four times a second. Although ready-made television receivers are not yet available for the reception of tele vision programs in any part of the United States, the skilled amateur should be able to construct a television receiver, according to Harry H. Lubekc, developer of the system.
