Tho spoolal chapel service Monday Is
tho beginning, wo hope, of nn enjoynhlo
oiiatom. Tho crowded condition of tho
chapel shows how tho idea was ro
colved. Even tho behavior of tho
"fraits" was subdued. Everyone was
pleased at tho pleasant little change.
Tho establishment of a teachers'
course in tho university should meet
with tho greatest favor by tho people of
tho state. Tho number of university
students who teach school afitor their
graduation is surprising. As a rule,
however, their preparation has been
Btiah that they cannot secure the best
positions. Tho new course offers tho
opportunity of a regular collejd educa
tion. It will not "spoil" anyone if ho
does not dcslro to teach aitor gradua
tion. Tho required work may be elect
ed by students in other courses thus
it will not interfero with any precon
ceived notion of what a college educa
tion should bo. It will be a boon to all
teachers who liavo had such a train
ing that will admit them to pursue It.
Tihor is no doubt but what tho op
portunity will bo seized and tho im
portance of the new courso recognized
by 'tho iteachors of Nobraaka.
It is to be hoped that tho cadets will
realize their dream of a wcolc of camp
life this year. Through a combination
of circumstances it was dropped last
Juno. As a rulo tho now cadots aro
not greatly impressed with tho idea.
They havo not realized its benefits and
ploasures and aro loath to lend any in
terest or aid to tho project. This is
naturally discouraging to tho com
mandant and his assistants. It Is as
sured that tho strong objection brought
by tho faculty last year will not bo
pressed. Their position In the past has
hardly been reasonable. If tho proper
stops aro token at onco they can easily
arrange It so that there will bo no in
torforonco with regular collogo work.
Tho week's camp Is a tegular provision
of tho military department. With in
spections and dress parades tho cadot
has to work harder for this hour's cred
it than for a like amount In any other
department of tho university. Thero
should bo nothing to prevent the week's
pleasure he has looked forward to dur
ing tho wholo college year.
Tho battalion, wo aro sorry to say, Is
not doing as ofllclcnt work as It ought
at tills time of tho year. It Is hardly
itwo months boforo prize drill, and a ro
markablo Improvement must bo matlo
in discipline and movements If a cred
itable showing is 'to bo made. May this
not bo easily dono? Cortalnly, If ovory
Individual cadet will namuiio the re
sponsibility of doing his part well.
Those cadots who aro drilling for a
pastlmo should from now on assumo a
different tone. Tho Blothfulness and
inattention in ranks aro quite appar
ent 'to tho obscrvor. These are un
called for aftor six months of rigid and
thorough discipline. Tho next prize
drill ought to bo bobtor in ovory respect
than any preceding. To mako It so re
quires strict attention to business three
hours in a week. If tho officers would
bo a llttlo more oxaotlng, perhaps tho
slothful cadot would owako to his im
portance in tlio company. Let each
and very cadet brace up and strive
to mako his company tho winner of tho
Omaha cup, The Nebraskan does not
wish, to find fault, but our prldo In tho
cirattalIon and thorough military disci
pline bids us to -give a timely warning.
Perhaps tho greatest Intercollegiate
ovent of tho year will bo tho second
annual Kansas-Nobraska debate, to bo
hold ini this city the first week in May.
Tho debaters havo spared no time in
getting a complete mastery of tho sub
ject, and a vigorous contest may bo cer
tainly anticipated. No other opinion
could bo formed, since the two leading
universities in tho west aro making
careful preparations to see which will
carry tho banner of victory when brains
instoad of brawn Is the question at Is
sue. Tho grand succens whloh has
crowned the debates botwoen tho oast
orn colleges certainly assures Interest
In tho coming debate. Tho debate is
gradually supplanting oratory. It is
tho truo 'Intellectual rivalry. Then lot
ovory student avail himself of this op
portunity to attend tilio debato nnd
drink deep at tho fountain of true col
lego spirit.
Our debaters aro strong spoakord and
of recognized ability. Thoy will prow
a worthy foe for tho men from Kansas.
Tills friondly rivalry will surely arouso
Intenso enthusiasm and bring back tho
old-tlmo vigor in tho triumph that
awaits us. Lot every student, between
now and the contest, arrange to give
earnest and enthusiastic support to the
crowning event of tho year. Awako to
tho fact that collogo spirit is an essen
tial factor In college life and in promot
ing higher education. Let us give tho
debaters from our sister university a
royal wolcomc, and demonstrate be
yond doubt our hoanty co-oporatlon in
everything that stands for tho bright
est and best in tho broader and bettor
oducatlon of today.
Tho members of the faculty aro per
sistent In their efforts to' raiso tho
standard of tho high schools of tho
stato. Tho steps taken to lengthen tho
period of historical study and to intro
duce more effective methods of instruc
tion should not fall of realization. This
change has been a long felt need. It
is becoming quite apparent to thoso
teachers who aro familiar with the uni
versity and its methods of instruction.
A llttlo thought shows tho real ground
for their mistakon beliefs, and tho mer
it of tho proposal. Tho lectures of
Professors Fling and Caldwell beforo
tho county institutes nave disproved
tho popular orror that historical re
search is an easy study and Is a subject
within anyono's roach, without tho pro
ficiency necessary for othor branches of
knowledge. Thero is micli a thing as
method in tho study of history. With
out this it is lowored from its truo place
as a branch of knowlodgo and is thus
judged by a false standard. The as
suming ease of tho subject, Its freedom
from technicalities, tho way In which
It connects Itself with all othor studies
and .the necessity of getting a few
vague Ideas of it, all servo to mako this
important branch tho spot of the un
learned. It is itlmo that our high
schools understand tho real dlfllcultios
of historical study, of tho nature of
historical ovldonco nnd tho purport of
unity in liistory. Tho historical in
quirer should not bo limited to a class
of professions, under tho present
methodical study. High school pupils
may got an insight into tho real sclonco
of liistory and bo moro proficient for
effective work in collogo. Our profes
sors with tho co-oporatlon of tho
county suporlntondentH promlso to re
veal somo important truths in tho
teaching of 'this subject.
