A PIOW IDEAS ON "CAPTAINS COUU
AC HOUS.
In tho "Cnptnlns Courngeous," Kipling
giving ovldeneo of nbli:ty to handlo a now
environment, nnd a now typo of character.
Ilnvlng proved his tltlo to sovereignty In
tho Jungle, tho liarrncks, nnd tho bnttlo
fields of bnsts and men he comes to n
coast of our own country to a tj'Pn of tnon
less brute nnd more human.
H!s seizure of the new province, of tho
atmosphere, the sky and n!r nnd hnb.ts of
the sen which have shnpod tho .ype of men
who sail tho Ilshlng schoonors of Gloucest
er Is wonderful. Fnm llarlty with the homo
speech, the words nnd turns of phraso as
native ns the sen-fop to the Gloucester
llshermnn, !s one of Jie smnllest ways In
which his mnstory lsnsscrtcd. He hns tnk
cn the render with him, in the rush of the
llrst onslaught, befuro no wall know what
has happened. Wo rise and work nnd lie
down and sleep with the young seamen In
splto of ourselves; nnd wo have pulled In
cod, split their sides and carved their back
bones for yenrs, though we may never
havo seen a schooner, or a salt sea wave.
Wo dance over tho ground swolls with
DIsko or long Jnck at tho wheel; and wo
can hear the tnut ropes strain nnd the rud
der groan ns the llt.lo "We're Hero" sur
ges through tho stenmlng crests.
That DIsko knows his little craft nnd
her caprices. Is ns plain to soo ns tho sPlr
1. of his control which Is In evidence nt
all times.
Tom Piatt nnd Long Jack are men of no
mean strength; hut we see they are chil
dren In the hands of D.sko when he Is
thinking of "cod;" nnd as for tho young
whelp from New York, he knows his mas
ter for the llrst time In his pampered life.
Wi.h Dan for h's teacher and chum, and
with the drudgery whlcn :s "too dirty for
the men to do" he Is doing more working
and thinking thnn he would hnvo dono In a
thousand years nt horn.- with his two hun
died dollars a month pin-money and his
mother ,o coddle him whon he whined.
Tho tradition and superstition and faith,
the essentlnl life nnd feeling of these men,
are marvelously real. zed to us. Tho inci
dent of "Skipper Ireson's Ride" and tho
feeling of fishing folk along the coast con
cerning Whktler's mistaken Judgments, la
In point. For the first time perhaps, this
long protest hns been voiced openly and
loudly.
The Indifference to death so marked In
these fishermen Is a characteristic that
becomes s.'gnlflcan; when we remember
that during some years, Gloucester has
lost more men by sea than she lost on
tho battle field in the snmo length ot
time, between Sixty-one and Slx.y-flve,
though she sent several thousand men to
war. In one great storm, some eighty
odd men were lost from her fishing fleet.
How Kipling seizes ujon and appro
priates these essen.Ial charncter'stlcs, It
13 not easy to say. Certain it seems, that
along with wonderful, indefatigable en
ergy of observation, a certain unerring
Instinct guides h'm He ban a h, range
power that supplies as somo minds be
fore him have supplied, evolutions of
years from a single print In tho sand at
his feet. Greater still. In h's province of
literature, while he does not poem to waste
much sympathy on his characters, he so
marks out tho vital points that wo must
read a history between the lines. A.

An effort Is being made to have tho rc-
cost. The state statutes provide that the
regents should do this. Why shouldn't
they?
Tho January Forum contains an arti
cle on lntcr-colleglate debating by Prof.
RIngwalt of Columbia. He thinks inter
collegiate debating contests have come
.o stay. He urges as a reason, the fact
that tho student's exper.ence as a debater
Is practical, and will bo useful to him in
after life. Prof. R.ngwalt is right.
Harvard Is seriously cons.derlng the
question of staring a college Infirmary.
The plan 1 to Impose a $5.00 tax on all
the members of the university. All would
then be entitled to the best medical treat
ment without additional cost. The suc
cess of this experiment will be wa.ched
with eagerness by many, who aro advo
cating the adoption of a s.mllar plan here
In our own university.
Tne coming semester will naturally bo
better than the one Jus. past.. The dif
ferent departments have the experience
of tho llrst semester to work upon. They
onn tako tha. which hns proven benefic
ial and Improve upon It while that wh ch
has proven to lxi unsuccessful can be
droped. Again tho students have become
better acqualnted wth each other, wl.h
J. A. Barrett lectured before the Omaha
tholr work, and can work to better advan
tage. Tho true university spirit Is shown
In the fac. thai so many departments are
offering new coumes In which students
Just entering may take up; thus allow-
.ng those who have men kept from school
tne nrBi bemostor, to enter and pursue
work .o the-Ir own advantage. There nre a
fow events that every student looks for
ward to with much del'ght. One of those
's Charter-day, when tho whole un.vers'ty
Is turned over to .he Inspection of the
public. Another is the hoj- that the lec
tures In the Chancellor's course may be
contlnued.There Is stHl another phase
that every s udent is or at least should be
Interested In, and that is the appropria
tion by the legislature. Every student
should consider K h s duty to give any
and all the Information ho posses with
regard to the work and necessities of
tuo instlt-tlon.
Desp'te all theje special even.g the
student should not forget to ondeavor to
le bettor work, both In h.s study room
and in the class room. Then, on the first
day of June next, he will certainly feel
that this has boon ono of tho most profit
able semesters In his college career.
Tho faculty Is to bo congratulated on
the new system of examination, Jt Is
Just what we have needed all these years
and strange It has not been though, of
bifore. It does away with the confusion
of uniting dlvls'ons In largo examination
rconvs, which hns beon so embarrassing
heretofore. The now scheme besides hav
ing mAny favomblo points makes a
conflict impossible. To bo sure tho In
structors are obliged to make out extra
examinations qu&stions, nut winat is mat
as compared with he mnny ndvnntnges
to both students nnd Instructors.
The petitioned meeting of the orntorl.
cnl nssoclntlon wns an IntoreSilng nnd en
thusiastic one. It wns decided by n
strong mnjorlty for tho university to re
main In the state nssoclntlon. If hero
woro any possibility of forming an asso
ciation with several ot (ho stnlo Institu
tions around us, It would bo advisable
for ns to withdraw from tho nssoclntlon
of which wo nre n member. It seems
Impossible for us to form nny such rein. Ion
now, nnd tho only thing for us to do Is to
remain In tho stnto association. If we
should withdraw wish nothing to sttbs.l
tute, the locnl contest would bo a fnree,
nnd what H.tle Interest there Is In orator
kal matters would oeaso. Wosloynn we
understand, wlshos id ro-ontor the asso
ciation, and with a llttlo Judicious woik
wo might bring back sonio of the old time
en.hus'nsm U oratoiy. Thero Is a place
for oratory In the university of Nehrns
ku nnd with thnt plnee n most noticeable
need. Wo havo thus fur, hold our own In
dobato but we prod ct that we shall hard
ly bo so successful in tho future unless
wo try to mako our nddross pleasing as

needs, revlvo the lagging Interest In ora

Tho revival of Interest In oratory was

Prof. Hagenow opened the program with
a violin solo.
Mr. R. C. Roper wns tho first contest
ant. He took for his subject. "Tho Author
Hero of the Revolution." Mr. Roper's
ornt'on was a eulogy of Thomas Paine as
the patriot and author-hero of the revol
ution. Mr. Roper was self possossed, nnd
his delivery was dollberato. He presented
his subject clearly nnd forcibly.
"Great Battles" was the subject of an
oration h, Mr. J. n. Boose. Mr. Boose
showed very careful traln'.V and was ex

SrnaMs and Rcdford. They responded to
an encore.
Miss Rena Alderman took as her or
ation "The Rod Color." She showed that
