THE NEBRASKAN
Wednesday, Iuly 3,
Swabbing
with Paul Svobtula
With summer school stopping at the crack of
a firecracker your columnist has laid aside his
books for contemplations. Like Socrates, Plato, and
the once popular Confucius, we delve now deeply
Into the fathomless abyss of. thought.
The result: Absence of the body Is better than
presence of the mind in an accident . . . the yes
man has his faults, but the real pest of our gen
eration is the oh-yeah man ... the grass is never
greener on the other side of the fence unless your
neighbor uses a lawn sprinkler . . . some people
will never get cold feet because they are always in
hot water.
Don't forget men, the seas of matrimony are
darned emasr? with H of thoaw permanent)
wave . . . heaven protect the working girl and
heaven help the man that she is working . . . and
because a secretary uses the touch system doesn't
mean that she can type . . . the difference between
a yard and two yards is a fence.
A night watchman has a Job, but never does
a day's work . . . don't ever tell a joke about a
balcony, it will be ever everyone's head ... a deaf
man should have a lot of success with the girls
he can't hear them say "No" ... on the park
bench in the moonlight one and one makes love.
Warning, don't ever get so lazy that you won't
ever exercise discretion ... it is better to have
halitosis than no breath at all . . . with Nature so
all powerful why didn't she make mosquitoes veg
etarians ... is leaving footsteps in the sands of
time merely a matter of having big feet . . .
Someone should tell Roosevelt that he could
raise a lot of money for defense by taxing our
memories . . . and a final word to the wise for all
would be Garbo's and Gables ... a ham in cup
board is worth two in Hollywood.
'Nebraska teaching suitable
life career?1 questions Gates
"When the average teacher in
Nebraska earns less than $658 per
year and the average rural one
room teacher earns about $484 per
year, less than WPA wages, can
you say that teaching in Nebraska
is a suitable life career?" That
question was posed Thursday aft
ernoon by Dr. C. Ray Gates, su
perintendent of school at Grand
Island, in his talk "How Profes
sional Are Nebraska Teachers?"
at the institute on professional
teachers' relations last week.
Miss Kathryn Heath of Wash
ington, D. C. defined a profession
as "a calling requiring a body of
specialized knowledge which is
skillfully applied for humanitarian
purposes." It is mental or intel
lectual in character and presup
poses a liberally educated person
nel, she added. It is a life career
work requiring an in-service learn
ing process, sets its own standards,
and "can only be said to come into
being when there more common
bonds between practitioners in
the form of professional organiza
tions." Applied to Nebraska.
Taking each one of Miss Heath's
points and applying it to Nebraska
in the light of information com
piled by the recent state planning
