Speech habits.
"Class work will not be de
signed to make actors of the chil
dren or to prepare them for public
appearances before audiences,"
stated Miss Lucile Cypreansen,
who will be in charge of all
classes. "We will try, rather, to
build good speech habits, self-confidence,
and a cooperative spirit in
group work."
An achievement program will
be given at the close of the sem

Fraternities and sororities are
urged to begin preparations for the
skits because of the short time to
be alloted for rehearsals. Compe
tition will be keen this year, Harns

Symphony features Stewart
A musician of distinguished at-'
tainments, secure in both tech
nique and poetic feeling, Reginald
Stewart will open the Lincoln
Symphony season Monday eve
ning, October 28. as guest artist
with the orchestra. With his fame
divided equally between the po
dium and the piano, Mr. Stewart
displayed his initial talent in Ed
inburgh as a lad; moved on to
Canada, where he gained recogni
tion of his remarkable interpre
tative abilities; and then crossed
the border to new triumph and ac
claim. The season ticket sale for the
winter concert series of the Lin
coln Symphony orchestra opened
today, and officers at the head
quarters in Hotel Cornhusker
were pleased with the initial ef
fort. Season tickets wil not be
available after Saturday night,
according to those in charge of
the ticket campaign.

Long use lowers tractor cost,
say ag college professors
"Lowest costs result when trac
tors are operated the greatest
number of hours per year" is the
conclusion of Prof. C. W. Smith,
Frank Miller and W. L. Ruten in
their article "The Cost of Tractor
Power" in the September issue of
Agricultural Engineering.
The article is based on the re
sults reported by farmers in three
counties who kept detailed tractor
records for a year. The tests
showed that coRt3 other than fuel
were over twice as high per hour
on tractors operated from 200-299
hours per year aa for those used
over 600 hours annually.
Cost varies.
To decrease the costs still more
the tractor load should be adjusted
to fit the capacity of the tractor.
If necessary to operate a tractor
with a partial load, fuel consump
tion can be decreased by running
in a higher gear and throttling

Brackett studies farms.
Prof. E. E. Brackett, chairman
of the agricultural engineering de
partment and president of the
American Society of Agricultural
Engineers also has an article, "A
Philosophy of Farm Structures,"
in the September Agiicultural En
gineering. According to Professor
Brackett the term "standard of
living" is not fixed or uniforVi.
What is luxury to one is poverty
to another. Good houses help to get
good tenants on lml rented out.
On the other hand poorly kept-up
houses often mean that the farm

Walter Damrosch, and 15 other
internationally famous maestros.
Other interesting directorial as
signments have included the Lon

As a pianist, in which capacity
he appears in Lincoln, Mr. Stew
art has been mentioned particu
larly for the depth and breadth
of his tonal work, the rich re
straint he brings to the compos
er's work, and the singing beauty
offered only by those who are
sympathetic to charm as well as
to form. Mr. Stewart is a modern
pianist, playing without flamboy-
ancy or gesticulation, securing his
effects in finger mastery of the
keyboard, leaving histronic effects
to another are. A quick perusal
of his "notices" shows that many
critics have called him great.

Brackett also discusses the wide
variety in types of buildings on
different farms and even on the
same farm. Large houses or barns
built in a period of prosperity be
come a burden to the owner in
later years.
