TJio recent tnto teachers' association
was productive of much good. This Is
especially seen In the emphasis that was
laid upon a correct understanding of his
torical methods and child-study. Those
two subjects comprised a larger part of
tho program. It was throne'' tlio efforts
of our professors that tho state te.tchors
were given o rare treat In hearing these
studies handled carefully and In accord
ance with the most advanced thought
of the day. Tho teachers appreciate tho
earnestness which the faculty displayed
throughout the whole program. It Is In
this way that our university and Its mcth-
EN DORSES THE PLAN.
To the editor of tho Nebraskan Tho
board of control of the college settlement
heartily endorses Dr. Sherman's "nlcklc
scheme" as suggested by him In this Is
sue. To render It effective, wo suggest
that, If It meet tho approval of the stu
dents, every fraternity, sorority and liter
ary society, tho law school and any other
oils of teaching will bo recognized and un- I body of students where concerted action
derstood by tho public schools. Tho teach- j possible, take Immediate stops to carry

tho press.
Tho Nolmisltan lends Its in-arty mii'l'ort
to tho "nloklo sohoino" proposed by Dr.
Hhorman, for tho bonollt of the oollogo
inont work. This Is such n small .unoiiiit
to nsk, that It seems ridiculous to think
that It would not moot with the approval
of every student. As Professor HoilKinan
has suggested, a little concerted action
In making the collection, would faellltato
greatly tho matter of collection, and tho
opportunity should bo seized by the var
ious organisations ot' the university, and
returns made accordingly to the board of
control.
Attention to tho athletes of the univer
sity Is called to tho training class that
has been started. To prevent Interference
with studies It Is held during the even
ing. This class was started for the bon
ollt of those entering tho Hold day con
tests. Thus far the registration does not
show that much enthusiasm will be taken
In these exercises. Kvoryone In tho uni
versity, who has any athletic provllvl
tlos, In any Hue, Is urged to Join this
class and make or break a few records
next spring.
A PRACTICAL SCHEME.
To tho editor of the Nebraskan I have
ben nsked to say a word through your
columns, concerning a plan by which the
college settlement may be made more
truly a college enterprise. The schotue Is
simply that each student furnish Just one
llvo-cont contribution this school year.
This with tho support promised by tho
faculty, will ensure the running of the
settlement work till summer, and put i,ic
whole In tho closest possible relation to
tho entire university and every student
In It. I understand that tho Idea has been
put (Ulto largely Into effect already. Will
you kindly aid In making the plan more
completely known throughout tho col
leges. I,, a. S1IM11MAN.

work In securing tho
methods of Instruction.
most advanced
The Important step that several of tho
professors havo takon, In opening begin
ning classes tno llrst of next Homester,
will not go unroeognlzud by tho student.
There aro so many that wish to tnko up
new subjects at this time, that thero Is
no doubt but that tho now classos will bo
well filled. There aro many seniors and
special students who dosiro work under
certain professors, that thoy aro unable
to get for the reason that certain prelim
inary work has been required, and thoy
havo had co wait tho whole year for a
chaneo to register for It. Tho new clas
ses will enable some who through sick
ness or perhaps dilatory work, would not
bo able to take up any required work bo
foro noxt semester and this often means
that they quit the university for good.
From tho beginning classes that are of
fered, nearly a comploto course can bo
registered for. The advantage of such
an opportunity Is apparent.
It Is reported that cortaln members of
the faculty expect to lay less stress than
usual upon llual examinations. This Is
certainly a tlmoly movo and deserves on
eouragoment. Tho tlmn has passed In tho
iducatloual world, when n technical ex
amination Is a truo test of scholarship.
Students of no moan ability aro likely to
do Injustice to thomselves on tho average
written test, which generally gives Inef
ficient means for the professor to wisely
asccrtnln tho true' standing of tho stu
dont. The ovll results of tho systom is
seen In tho fact that so many students
seize tho opportunity of cramming just
a few days boforo the examination In or
der to mako up for tho work that was
poorly dono In the rocltatlon. This of
courso Is legltlmato, but hurtful to tho
student. Lot stross bo laid upon dally at
tendance, Instead of worrying tho student
over a final test which Is so little pro
ductive of thorough work.
All tho material for tho Junior Annual
Is practically In the hands of tho board of
editors. The Sombrero promises to excel
any of past years In every respect. And
It Is needless to say that the Junior class
deserves no little credit and praise for tho
earnestness and vigor with which they
undertook the task. No time and money
has been spared In securing copy, cuts,
designs, and various things of interest in
college life. If the expectations of tho
board aro fulfilled, tho Sombrero will bo
oui about tho mlddlo of March. This will
bo over a month earlier than usual. Thus
every student will not be disappointed In
being able to get a copy of a work which
vlsablllty of recommending a day to bo
called "college settlement day" on which
contributions should be sought and on
which possibly somo noted lecturer should
address the university public on this top
ic; but no holiday was contemplated.
It was also stated In one of tho college
papers that last year tho movement was
on tho vergo of failure when the Christ
ian associations took up the work and
carried It through to success. From 'ho
llrst tho work was planned and executed
In perfect hnrmony by the Joint action
of tho associations and a portion of tho
faculty.
Tho board Is very grateful for tho Intel
ligent nnd generous support given the
work by tho university papers.

AN IDYL ON HMD AND
IlLAt'K PASTM-HOAltD.
The gay little red and black pasteboard
wheel had for tho Inst two or throo min
utes been spinning around nt Intervals
and now us It eauie to a stop again, tho
shrunken man with wild eyos and whlto
lips who hud been watching It, turned
and buttoned his torn overcoat about him.
Ho put his despondent hands Into his now
empty pockets and walked from tho little
room In the basement Into the guysomo
gray sunlight.
"Spence" was sitting back of the show
case putting little red wrappers on live
cent cigars, and putting them all In tho
box marked "two for a quarter." Spenco
had no conscience to speak of.
The Hoy Sergeant was looking nt u
small colored magazine marked "Vanity
Fair." It evidently had some treatise on
zoology because ho never looked up but
turned the pages slowly and reluctantly.
Spenco looked nt the clock and saw that
It registered 2:11, and ho know that It
must be somewhere about half post three.
He looked out of tho wondlw and saw
Phi! Itussell coming down the street wltn
his Utile Fifth avenue trot which ho had
acquired during his ten minute stay In
Now York He was Just coming from
class, for Phil was a conscientious boy.
As he was passing the window ho mot a
couple of girls so he held his hut off fo
three minutes. He had lately soaped his
head and polished It and now bis hair
glistened like a live dollar silk hat. Ho
came down Into thosroom and looked care
fully over tho show ease, then sighed and
bought a nlckle's worth of gum.
Harry Oury was grouchy, He won on
tho machine twice with ten cents and
had given half his winnings away when
he realized that he had beat his own ma
chine. He tossed a. bundle of papers right
past the head of the Hoy Sergeant, onto
tho table but that rapt Individual did not
look up.
Jim lturks came In elenrlng his throat
and everybody got eady to leave but ho
did nothing more than to fish uiound In
his pocket for a grimy nlcklo whloh ho
put In the hard woodon box and spun tho
wheel. It stopped between seven and
eight and Jim left after growling to
Spence that his wheel was weighted,
whereat Spence did not seem much Im
pressed but continued shamelessly to put
his nice red wrappers on his cheap stor
ies. The doot slammed sharply as tho
bankrupt tenor went, but Davvy did not
look up.
"Did It stop on a red space?" asked a
young freshman who had eomo In to ask
Oury for a "Christian Advocate".
"Yes", said Spence Indifferently.
"What do you win on then?" asked tho
liinud-m freshman, 'tin black ones?" And
lie wandered why ihey laughed.
