THE NEBRASKAN
Jacobson states . .
NYA not new similar to
The NYA work program for
needy students and other similar
federal agencies are simply mod
ern extensions of a policy estab
lished long ago by the federal gov
ernment to subsidize the individual
needs of citizens in times of stress,
declared Paul B. Jacobson, prin
cipal of the University of Chicago
high school, before a summer
school administrative clinic in the
Union.
Siting as examples the Morrill
act of 1862. the Homestead act,
and the Smith-Hughes act, Jacob
son asked his audience, "Is it any
different to pay youth from $16 to
$22 per month now than it was to
give them 160 acres of land in the
19th century."
The public schools and the NYA
can compliment each other in the
program of American education to
the great advantage of American
youth, he concluded.
Miss Gladys Shanip. state NYA
administrator, stated that during
March of thi.s year 6.59 -S students
were employed in NYA work in
5S1 Nebraska high schools and 22
colleges, and 4.985 participated in
the work program for out-of-s-hoil
vouth.

Mankind has
never liked
dictators
. . . Oldfather
History appears to repeat itself
in the pattern of dictators. Dean
C. H. Oldfather of the Arts and
Sciences college told a luncheon
meeting of the Institute for Latin
Teachers.
Selecting Augustus, who con
trolled the Roman state for 57
years from 43 B. C. to A. D. 14
from among the many men who
rose by their individual efforts to
autocratic power in the ancient
world, Dean Oldfather compared i
him with modern dictators by
pointing out that he held the state I
by (1) control of the army, (2) a
program of terrorization, even 1
tho every effort was made to con- j
ceal it. (3) control of legislation.'
(4 1 use of plebiscites, (5) extoll- j
ing of nationalism, and (6i idol
izing of the "leader." I
"As for dictators, ancient and
modem, it is quite clear that man- j
kind does not like them," declared
the speaker. "It is difficult to'
think that they can be permanent, j
since history teaches the opposite." j
Dean Oldfather concluded his i
talk with a quotation from Gen- j
eidl Smuts: "Bolshevism and fas
cism, which are the current alter-!
natives to democratic government, j
may be defended as a way out of
intolerable situations; but they are
temporary expedients, often tried
and discarded before, and they
will be discarded after the pres
ent trials."

Paine declares
Britain's fight
is also ours
''Many believe this nation
in schooling Mar before
end of July, says justice
It is the. business of the United
States to aid the British in the
present war "because their ene
mies are enemies of our demo
cratic form of government."' de
clared Judge Bayard H. Paine of
the Nebraska supreme court in a
talk .Friday afternoon before the
annual state conference for voca
tional agriculture instructors.
"Many believe that this country
will be in a shooting war before
the end of July," he stated.
Recalling Hitler's many prom
ises of peace to various nations
during his five years of war prep
arations. Judge Paine told how all
of Germany's pledges of nonag
gression have been violated. Many
economic, social and political
changes would necessarily come in
the United States if England is
defeated, he believes.
"We would have to effect regi
mentation in agriculture and fi
nance in order to keep up with
Germany," he stated, "and our loss
of exports would result in a
greatly lowered scale of living."
On the morning program was
a talk by J. A. Kovanda, assis
tant supervisor for defense train
ing in the state, on the Nebraska
defense training program. He re
ported that in April of this year
there were 72 defense courses for
rural youth in operation including
50 on motors, 10 on electricity. 9
on metal work, and 3 on wood
work. Although the number of
courses is far below that in other
states of the north central region,
the quality compares favorably
with those in other states, he said.
Practical work is stressed, Ko
vanda explained, and frequently
instructors will report that many
of their students could go to work
as regular mechanics if they were
needed in their communities.
"Now the chances are that
they'll need another mechanic
sooner than they anticipate," he
said. "We're told that today's ga
rages mechanics are apt to be
taken away by some defense ac
tivity in the near future, and their
positions are likely to be filled by
just such rookies as we had en
rolled in defense courses."
The lack of trained workmen
in this country is great in the
face of mechanized warfare, Ko
vanda declared, stating that it
takes 18 factory workers to keep
one soldier on the firing line today
where it took only six in the first
World war.
"At the outbreak of World war
II. Germany had for its defense
industries 12 million productive
workers and 500,000 apprentices.
When the U. S. started its defense
drive, we had less than 5 million
productive workers and 100.000
apprentices."
