Gives Rare Pieces
Through the efforts of Dr. Wal
ter Granger, the university re
ceived from the New York mu
seum of natural history several
rare skeletal pieces of an early
ancestral elephant, an animal
about the size of a large pig.
This elephant, whoso remains
were found in Egypt, is supposed
to have given rise, to the later
shovel tusked elephants that once
inhabited Nebraska. Dr. Granger
stopped on the campus long enough
to visit Dr. E. H. tsartour ana
Bcrtrand Schultz, museum direc
tor. He wiU return cast after sev
eral weeki spent in visiting pale-
ontological sites in this part of
the country.
Dr. Granger has visited the Ne

the outstanding museum west of

Business Manager Horn
Offers Cash Prizes
To Top Saleswomen
Because the Tassels, womeni
pep organization is able to make
more contacts than any other club
or group on the campus, sales of
the '39 yearbooks, The Corn
husker, have been turned over to
them.
Working with Max Horn, busi
ness manager of the Cornhusker,
is Virginia Nolte, president of the
Tassels. Miss Nolte has set the
goal for Tassel sales at 1,000 by
Nov. 8.
From today until Nov. 8, it will
not be possible to purchase a year
book from any other source than
the Tassels. Subscription books
were passed out to each member
of the group Tuesday evening.
There will be cash prizes of $10,
$5 and $3 for the three girls who
sell the most subscriptions. Thus,
by ordering your yearbook from
your favorite Tassel, you may help
her win a cash prize.
Aim to Sell 2,500.
According to Max Horn, the
staff hopes to sell 2,!500 books be
fore they go to press this spring.
After the book is sent to press, it
will be impossible to obtain one of
them. Due to the fact that there
were a number of copies left over
last year, the staff will only order
enough copies printed to cover
their subscription list for the '39
edition. This will cut out the cost
of carrying a number of extras.
In order to assure your obtaining
a Cornhusker. you should give
your subscription to a Tassel to
day.
The business staff will start to
solicit advertising as soon as lay
outs of the advertising section em
bodying the idea of the "Buying
habits of the students" and the
plans for a pictorialized quarter
paffe'of candid photos arrive from
the Oilier and Jahn Engraving
company of Chicago.
Dedicated to Agriculture.
With the announcement that the
1939 Cornhusker will be dedicated
to Nebraska and its agriculture,
Yearbook Editor Pat Lahr yester
day began preparations for mak
ing this year s annual a nit.
"It is entirely ntting mat uie
yearbook of the university should
pay tribute to its agricultural
background," Miss Lahr stated.
Tomorrow, the Nebraskan will
inaugurate a special Cornhuske'-
column in which some feature of
the book will be discussed every
day. Columns will be devoted to
sports, photography, humor and
other features.
As in the past, Tassels will be
m cnarge ot selling me t;orn
husker until Nov. 8.
This summer, tentative layouts .
for the book were made in Chi
cago by Miss Lahr working with
the art staff of the Oilier Engrav
ing company, to which this yean
contract was awarded.
This year's advertising section
will really be a candid camera
photo section interspersed through
out by advertisements. This new
method will not only make the
advertising section much more ef
ficient in sales appeal, but will
make it interesting as well, ac
cording to Horn.
Set Price at J4.75.
The price of this year's Corn
husker will be $4.75. In order to
get a subscription, a student must
make a down payment of $2 with
the balance payable when the sub
scriber receives his book.
The Tassels will wear white rib

Men of Every Work Tell
Their Aims of Education
Students Receive
Learning Views
(From the Tulnne IlulUhnlno)
What does the man in the street
think of the aims o 'education?
From WPA workers to lawyers,
from sailors to doctors have been
interviewed by the students of ed
ucation in an effort to prove that
in a democracy, each individual
differs in his conception of education.
With the accepted criterion, the
definition of the aims of education
by Dr. Charles Beard, "The pri
mary Dusiness or education, in ef
fecting the promises of American
democracy, is to guard, cherish,
advance, and make availabl in
the life of coming generations the
tunaea and growing wisdom
knowledge and aspiration of the
race," the students compared their
results.
Representative answers received
are as follows:
Minister: "The aim of education
is service, service to our fellow
man, service to humanity In gen
eral."
Newspaper man: "Education Is
a formal and quickened process of
acquainting the Individual with the
laws of the universe as far as w
know them."
Bartender: "No one can get too
much without education. Without
it, the world would be still in the
days of the cave man. However,
too much money is spent on th
education of wonen."
Social worker: "The school
s.hould be a place to make the In
dividual think for himself and
therefore aims to develop his pow
ers of concentration."
Secretary: "Education is for the
purpose of developing the Intellect
in order that people may decide
questions that confront them
quickly and wisely."
WPA worker: "Education Is to
teach my children something and
to keep them out of trouble. I think
with education they will amount
to something more than me."
Librarian: "Education results In

standing, social status, better asso
