appropriated for the schools for
the present biennium was $1 ,266,
971, showing requests for an in
crease ' of $1,591,573. These
amounts come from the general
fund. The schools, like the Uni
versity of Nebraska, also use all
their cash funds created mostly
by student fees.
Thc budget request showed that
of the $1,591,573 increase, $285,818
is wanted for salary increases of
faculty, $547,405 for new build
ings, and for the balance for sup
plies, expenses, material and parts
and equipment divided among the
four schools.
The proposed new buildings
which the board said it desired
included a new library building
and auditorium at Wayne, a
training school building and equip
ment at Chadron, a science hall at
Peru and the rebuilding of several
other structures on the campuses
of the four institutions.
The projio.sal of salary in
creases led to a lengthy discus
sion among members of the board
and Governor Cochran. Board
members seemed to indicate that
they desired the restoration of sal
aries paid six years ago.
"We are losing teachers to
other educational institutions, even
normal schools in other states,"
said board member Kdwin Crites
of Chadron.
"It is too bad to lose good in
structors." Governor Cochran re
plied, "but I presume they are go
ing to institutions that have more
resources; in states where crop
failures have not been as prevalent
as they have in the Nebraska dur
ing the past five years."
Among the salary increases de
sired are: President Elliott of
Chadron from $4,170 per year to
$5,600; President Cushing of
Kearney, from $4,170 to $5,000;
President Pate of Peru from $3,
570 to $5,000 and President An
derson of Wavne from $3,570 to
$5,000.
The lange of increases asked
for teachers at Chadron are;
Those now receiving $1,200 to be
raised to $2,600 and those re
ceibing $1,500 to get $3,300; at
Kearney, instructors to be raised
from $1,200 to $100 nd from
$2,400 to $3,600; at Peru, $1,510 tn
$1,800 and $3,022 to $3,960 and
at Wayne those receiving $3,021
to be raised to $3,760 and $1,200
to be raised to $1,500.

Junior Chamber Fetes
High School Athletes
Two hundred and twenty-five
coaches and players from 51 Ne
braska high schools were feted
yesterday by the Lincoln Junior
chamber of commerce at their an-
partnient. The works will be on
display from Dec. 7 to the 19, as
thc monthly presentation of the
department.
The display is for those whose
primary interest is in pictures to
decorate the home, but for those
who would like to know something
about the various mediums and
how to differentiate among them
the current exhibition of the
American Artists group is richly
rewarding.
These prints are as fine and as
beautiful as any which these fam
ous artists have published in limi
ted editions, the artist's group re
ports. They will be available at
reasonable prices as long as the
proofs of a uniform high quality
can be taken off of the plates.
The oldest of the mediums is
presented in woodcuts and wood
carvings by such modern mas
ters of the technique as J. J.
I.ankes, Rudolf Ruzicka, Asa
Cheffetz and Paul Landacre. Color
wood engravings are represented
in works by Allen Lewis and Emil
Ganso.
Lithograph, the youngest of the
graphic mediums, invented as re
cently as the early 19th century
is admirably revealed in all its
tonal richness in outstanding pic

Graduate Tells Far
East Experiences
at Forum Dec. 13
John M. Allison, American con
sul at Nanking, China, and Ne
braska graduate, will be the speak
er at the year's second forum ar
ranged by the Student Council for
Tuesday morning, Dec, 13, at 11
o'clock in room 315 of the Union.
Mr. Allison has stated that he '
I will keep his discussion of his ex-
! llerienres in the far pnst. wher
he has lived since 1927, very in
formal, and that he hopes to keep
thc floor open for questions from
students at all times. However, he
also promises that he will not en
ter into any deep political discus
sion of the present situation there,
inasmuch as his official capacity
precludes his making any opin
ionated statements.
Principal in "Incident."
Mr. Allison will be remembered
by newspaper readers as the prin
cipal in the international "inci
dent'' which occurred in Nanking
last January. On that occasion he
was slapped by a Japanese sentry
when, along with other Americans,
he refused to leave a building on
the sentry's request. Japanese of
ficials later apologized for the un
called for insult.
After graduating from the Uni
ersity in 1927, Mr. Allison went
directly to Japan where he taught
in government schools for two
i years. He then spent a year in

University Educotor
Shows Teaching Trends
There is a strong trend toward
the centralization of education in
Germany, Italv and Russia today,
Dr. O. H. Werner of the University
teachers college states in his re
cent article, "Educational Trends
in the Principal European Coun
tries." The University educator also
notes that there is a strong ten
dency, especially in the dictator
ruleci countries, to encourage
youth to organize themselves Into
strong national units for the pur
pose of developing the body both
mentally and physically and to
participate in the propaganda of
the dominating party.
Educational opportunities have
been materially increased in the
five leading European countries by
the passage of laws requiring stu
dents to remain in school longer,
by esUbllshlnfr free universal ele
mentary schools which ail social
classes shall attend, by opening
the doors of secondary and higher
education to capable students, by
jiroviding a better type of voca
tional education for the less cap
able and by renewed interest in
adult education.
Dr. Werner also states while dic
tatorships were showing a decided
tendency toward centralization of
education, European democracies
were gathering momentum in the
opposite direction.
A Catch to Education.
The educator showed his appro
bation of the interest of the na
tional government in aiding
youths to mold themselves both
mentally and physically, but he
also states in his article dictator
ships had construed the meaning
of education to a narrow, national
ideology ,and a hatred of peoples
of other nations.
Addressing American educators
as a whole, he outlines their duty
as one of staunch refusal to ac
quiesce to the demands of any po
litical party to abdicate their lib
erties and to keep the doors of
educational opportunity all people.
