Dr. Bell Not Ready to Give
Definite Facts About
Buried Village.
In regard to the recent news
paper statements by Mr. M. K.
Ellas of the University of Kansas,
concerning the much publicized
Bite at Lynch, Neb., in which the
Kansas paleobotanist makes an
attempt to estimate the age of
this civilization as well as the
type of culture represented, Dr.
E. H. Bell, who is in charge of
the University of Nebraska survey
party in the Niobrara valley, re
vealed Friday that Mr. B:ii&3 vis
ited the site only for about an
hour. Elias, in an article appear
ing in the last issue of the Ne
braskan, said the Lynch site was
not more than 1,000 years old, and
that these early Nebraskans were
a people with "little culture." Dur
ing his brief visit at Lynch the
Kansas man was taken on a tour
of the site, so far as it has been
excavated.
No Definite Statements.
Says Doctor Bell, "even after
being in the field for several weeks
and after studying each day's evi
dence throughout this period I
still think that it is much too early
to give any definite statements
as to the type of civilization pres
ent, the type of dwellings, the age
of the site and the physiographic
conditions within the area."
Contrary to Mr. Elias' opinion,
Doctor Bell still believes that the
culture of these early people
should not be classed as "little."
"This much is clear," he says,
"they had a great abundance of
good pottery. They had agricul
ture and raised corn in great
quantities. We just found a cache
almost filled with corn, both
shelled and on the cob. Of course,
the corn was not fresh, but car
bonized. This latest cache was
eight feet in diameter and five
feet deep.
Age Unsettled.
As far as the age of the site
is concerned the physiographic
and other evidence available now
does not allow Doctor Bell and
Dr. William Van,Royen, the lat
ter a physiographer of the uni
verity, who has also studied the
Lynch site, to definitely settle the
age problem. They still believe,

ANCIENT
MYSTERY
Three "CV in Education Today
The three "R's" which alone
formed the educational program
for the boys and girls of yester
day, must now take their place
along with the horse and buggy.
In their place has come the three
"C's", citizenship, conduct, and
character, which are education's
new challenges for 1936, now re
echoing on every front. An entirely
new set of educational goals have
been established in an endeavor
to keep pace with the rapid
changes in the social and eco
nomic orders.
These in turn have resulted in
drastic changes in the schools'
curricula. A review of the courses
of study offered in high schools
for the past thirty years, shows
a new emphasis being placed upon
the practical arts as against the
traditional and ac3cler.)ic sublets

STATE GETS $86,200
Government to Distribute
Ten Million for Youth
Aid in 48 States.
Nebraska will have $86,200 for
the operation of the National
Youth Administration work proj

of the new fiscal year, according
to an announcement from Aubrey
W. Williams, executive director.
$10,000,000 will be distributed
among the 48 states.
Details of the 1937 program of
student aid were outlined recently
at a five day conference attended
by educators from many parts of
the country. The recommenda
tions of these prominent educators
concerning the plan under which
an estimated 310,000 young men
and women between 16 and 25
years of age are to be given finan

Account of Steps in Digging
Out Buried Civilization
Described.
Radio fns from coast to coast
had an opportunity to hear an
actual "play by play" account of
all the steps necessary in digging
out a buried civilization last Fri
day in a nationwide hookup
originating from the well known
Lynch, Neb., site, where Dr. Earl
H. Bell and a group of University
students are unearthing an ancient
middlewestern village. The arch
aeological party has been at work
excavating the site since the close
of school and . thus far have
brought to light a remarkably
large collection of artifacts, be
lieved to be evidence of an ancient
civilization which existed in this
part of the country centuries ago.
A miscellaneous program was
arranged, featuring not only a
description of the excavating proc
ess, but talks by Doctor Bell, Dr.
Robert F. Gilder, one of the first
archaeologists in Nebraska, and
short interviews with people of
that part of the country who have
been interested in collecting fos
sils for many years.
Courses dealing with political
parties in Europe and the United
States, and the philosophy of edu
cation have occupied the time of
Harold W. Stoke, associate pro
fessor of political science, who for
the past month has been attend
ing classes of the new school for
social research in New York City.

shown in it, members of the re
creation committee expressed their
belief that this has been the best
and most successful program ever
carried out on the University of
Nebravska campus.
Athletic Interest Greater.
"We can't account for the
greater amount of interest shown
in recreational activities this
summer," Miss Leavitt declared.
"It must have been because there
were more people in school in
terested in athletics."
Concluding the social program
for the summer, the last all-University
party will be held in the
coliseum Friday evening. Dave
Haun and his twelve-piece or
chestra will again furnish muaic.
Because it is the last dance of the
session, an especially large crowd
is expected to be present.
Game Scores.
In the kittenball games, which
have been played by both men's
and women's teams during the
summer term, complete scores for
the summer have been kept. Be

New York City, while Prof. Horace
M. Kallen, also of New York City,
is in charge of the course in the
philosophy of education.
Mr. Stoke is also doing research
work of his own at the New York
City library, one of the largest in
the country. He plans to leave
New York for a tour of the south
west about the first of August,
according to David Fellman, a
colleague of Professor Stoke's in
the political science department.
The New School for Social Re
search, which Mr. Stoke has ex
pressed his interest in attending
in communications to Mr. Fellman,
was founded in 1919. It is a non
partisan institution of higher adult
education, the work of which
centers around the social sciences.
Included in the faculty roster of
the new school are such outstand
ing men as Felix Frankfurter,
