It being the nature of man to attain his goal or fail and then ppend much time in reflection either on his success or his failure perhaps the Nebraskan may be forgiven for a little collective re flection. We would not discuss our own few virtues or several faults but the summer term is drawing to a close. With this, the last issue, we terminate our efforts not only to relate the evenis pertaining to the school and students but to depict thru feature stories something of the faculty accomplishments and genral background of the univer sity. In this we hope we have suc ceeded. But our promise was not to discuss our own past. Early in the season it became apparent that numerically this year's session would be a success for registrations, including those of Omaha medical school students, soared well past the 2,000 mark. As the term progressed it was punctuated by such welcome vis itors as the American Dairy Sci ence association, the all state ed ucational conference and the con ference of family education. These meetings found many summer stu dents whose interests were in volved attending as regularly as their schedules would permit. A feature of unusual interest this year was the four week All- State Music course. Although not new to the campus, this season's classes were marked by more noted faculty members and larger registration than in most previous years. Music teachers enrolled in summer school were particularly interested in the concerts of the young musicians and in talking with such men as Forrest L. Buch tel and George R. Howerton. We need not go into detail to snow mar. me t nciay aances, plus tenuis, Suu, soiiDRii ana evenis such as uie men s annual siean fry have made the weeks spent on the campus far from dreary ones, bo it would appear that an other successful summer school session is about to close. This year students go home to face a brighter year than last year. Crops on the whole appear good and industry is climbing back on its feet. Fewer, if any, teachers will look in vain for po sitions. Fewer students will be unable to continue through the winter term because of financial difficulties. So we end nine enjoyable weeks with prospects of a good year to come. Thus, though the Nebraskan must bid one and all farewell, it feels the leave taking a cheery one.

One of the hottest topics of po litical conversation during the next few years promises to be the presidential race of 1910, and whether President Roosevelt will run for a third term. If the presi dent would definitely announce that he will not run, then the sub ject would receive little more at tention than any other presiden tial race. But with the possibility of a third term, of John L. Lewis entering the picture as a candi date, and, speculation over the re publican nominee, political gossip ers are going to have a field day. Governor Earle of Pennsylvania kindled the fire last week when he said, "Between the third prec edent and the welfare of the country can any patriotic citizen hesitate as to what course he will take? I am for Franklin D. Roose velt in 19-10, unqualifiedly and finally." W. B. Kagsdale, Associated Press writer, comments that some members of congress said words that might indicate that they agreed with Eaile. Sometimes, however, appearances do not hold good for congressional words. A few others said they felt the Pennsylvania governor was begin ning to take seriously the fact that he, himself, has in the past been mentioned in the same breath with the presidential nomination. All three years are needed to determine whether Mr. Roosevelt would go about breaking the third term precedents. Yet, he has spoken of handing over his office in 1940 to his successor. The words he has said, however, are not near ly as ironclad as those by which Theodore Roosevelt barred him self from re-election after the votes had been counted in 1904. Actually, the two term prece dent is purely a happen-so. George Washington would have stopped with one term had not his friends urged him so strongly to continue, Even then, he might have quit after his first term but for the serious condition of foreign af fairs. Eleven presidents have been po tential breakers of that precedent since. Thomas Jefferson quit will ingly to go back to his hilltop in Virginia after two terms. James Madison and James Monroe were content with two terms. Appar ently the thought of a third term did not occur to Andrew Jackson He, like Jefferson, worked out a plan for the succession. Abraham Lincoln was killed before he got far into his second term. Ulysses Grant would have broken the prec Pf enr f he rnn rl hur his own rnrrv stood against him. Grover Cleve land could not have been elected again if he had wanted to, so high was the tide of free silver when his second term ended. William McKinley was shot be fore he wound up his second term. Woodrow Wilson was a broken man, physically and politically, when he finished his second term.

Coolidge, the two vice presidents who went out and won the presi dency for themselves after finish ing out the terms to which they had not been elected, both with drew after their one election. The constitution is silent on the number of terms a president may serve. The constitutional conven tion debate on that topic swept back and forth to cover everything from a three year to a life term. The delegates seemed to feel that a president should serve one long term if elected by congress; a repi- tition of shorter, terms if elected by the people, even indirectly thru the electoral college.

That teachers of primary and high school grades have tre mendous responsibilities has been more or less accepted ever since the beginning of the public school system. That war, in all its as pects, is deplorable and should be eradicated from our civilization no thinking person will deny. It seems difficult, however, to im press people with the fact that there is a connection between these two ideas, with the oppor tunity teachers have for com batting the forces which eventu ally draw us into war. One of the most insiduously pow erful of these forces is the propa- eanda that comes to us in the daily newspapers ana oiner peiw- dicals. Even the radio is not iree from it. Immediately following t n e World War, public sentiment was much too strong to stand for any published matter that so much is made excuses for war. Moreover, until within the last few years, there was little likelihood that this country could be drawn into an other such catastrophe. But now the Spanish and far eastern situa tions present two very potent war threats to the United States. The public has become either indiffer ent to the question or absorbed with more immediate problems, and those who profit by war see, in the present, the opportune moment to begin their work of stirring the sentiments which make war possible. It must be admitted, however, that the public would not tolerate even now an outspoken approval of militarism, and of this the propaganda mon gers are well aware.

Saturday gin with the use of "thriller" fie tlon playing up the virtue of dar ing deeds of heroism, the loyalty and sportsmanship that is sup posed to characterize military men. This is followed by feature articles on the latest in battle ships, war planes, and graduating classes at West Point. It is all very harmless in outward appear ance, but the public must be ori ented to thoughts of this kind be fore it can digest the more direct publicity that comes later. Yet it is almost paridoxical that propaganda, war's most powerful weapon, also provides its most vulnerable spot, and this spot may be reached most effectively thru education. Let us take the new generation in its most impression able years, teach it how to be wary of propaganda, and instill in it the hatred for war which will be war's most effective nemesis in the future. .
