pressed the opinion that geo-

that national traditions, power and
even chance were outstanding
among the molding factors of k

Conceding that no doubt origi
nally there were topographical
boundaries obstructing the inter
mingling of different tribes. Hud
gins contended that today the in
fluences of powerful countries
have pushed back these lxundaries
and have set up political lines of
division separating their peoples.

"But to say that Hitler, for in

his niggardly supply of materials

Hudgins declared, acknowledging geography lies in its ability to an

On the other hand however, the
visiting professor who was just
recently elected to the Association
of American Geographers sug
gested that geography could be
used to point out certain problems
which peoples must constantly
face.
"Germany" he exlained, "has too
critical a shortage of materials to
respond to the large population
and industrial occupations which
these people are wont to engage
in. This stale of artairs mo not
the determinant of Germany's
government or of her military ex
I ploits, nevertheless presents a
problem which the German na
tionals must forever deal with."
"A second example." he added,
"is found in the effect of Ne
braska's geography and climate on
the speech of the people. Since
my arrival in Lincoln. Hudgins ex
' plained. "I have noticed that the
common everyday talk is of irri
gation and of a hope tor rain."
Nebraska talks weather.
! With a jolly big smile he won
dered whether anybody cculd say
that this factor would determine
the government of Nebraska, but
he queried "Is not geography an
everlasting problem which the peo
ple of Nebraska must constantly
face."
In the opinion of the good na
tured instructor, the value of
; and as such constitutes a subject
'which should be rated equal with
economics and political science in
the curricula of a university. Be
, fore one can fairly judge the
forces which are making and
I breaking down governments." he
jconcluded, "one must understand
1 the geographical problems with
which these forces Interact."
Professor Hudgins is a graduate
from Central Illinois Normal where
: he received a degree of bachelor
of education. Later he took a
; masters degree in geography at
I Chicago university, and a doctors
! degree in the same subject at
I Clark university, Worcester, Mass.
Supreme Court
admits 110 to bar
Chief Justice Simmons
. extends compliments
The supreme court sitting in
special session last Friday morn
ing admitted seven young women
and 103 young men to the Ne
braska bar following the state ex
aminations given earlier in the
month.
Chief Justice Simmons extended
in behalf of the court the compli
ments and best wishes of the tri
bunals to those taking the oaths of
the legal profession. The new
lawyers were so numerous that
they had to bo sworn in in two
groups.
The large number admitted to
the bar at this time arises from
the state law requiring all new
lawyers whether studying in a
law office or diploma holders
from the law colleges to pass the
examinations before they can
practice in Nebraska.
Following the installation serv
ice, the new lawyers took turns at
signing the register of attorneys.
Each received a diploma, but must
become affiliated with the State
Bar association before they are
full-fledged lawyers.

Darlington cited Chicago, and
several small Nebraska towns as
examples where pupils progress at
their own rate more or less inde
pendent of the teacher.
"Individualized instruction ma
terials with modifications can pro
vide supervised home study
courses for those crippled chil
dren, home bound or remote from
schools or visiting teachers."
20 years precedent
"Home study has been satisfac
tory for more than 20 years in
Australia, New Zealand, and Can
ada. Australia. . .with a corre
spondence school enrollment of
5,260 is a Gibraltar in educational
annals," he state.
Additional benefits of home
study courses, Darlington said,
were certain social and character
developments. The United States,
he declared put the cart before
the horse when it started super
vised home study programs on a
college level.
"The functional administration
and success of supervised home
study depend on three factors...
local supervisor, instructional ma
terials, .and supplementary teach
ing and correction service."
Although they do not promise
an educational Utopia or a pana
cea for all, supervised home study
courses are complete, practicable,
individualized and enriching, the
educator concluded.
