NOTICE All subscriptions should now bo

cordingly. Any one wishing to avoid tho
Inconvenience of being "dunned", should
notify tho business manager before Jan
uary IB.
Tho policy of the university nlwnys 1m
been and wo trus. always will be to re
main ut tho fore In college ttndortiiklngii.
Tho latest move on tho part of tho un. ver
sify Is the stops tukon by the local debu.
lng association to perfect an Interstate de
bating league botweon the un.vorsl.Ies of
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska.
Tho officers of our dobatlng assoclat.on
are taking tho lead In th.s matter and
they hope to carry their plan ,o comple
tion before the eloso of the college year.
The prospects nro very favorable to or
ganizing a league, as the above named
univors.ties nave taken kindly to the pro
posal. Tho league will bo formed on a
plan slmllnr to that between Harvard
Vale and Princeton universities. Tho lat
ter liavo boon carrying on a series of dis
cussions which have aroused a grout deal
of enthusiasm and have merited tho atten
tion of leading educators us well as tho
pralso of the press. Tho Now England
public speaks highly of the debates, and It
certainly has given a grout Impulse to on
eourago thorn among other unlvcrlstles.
College dobatlng Is gradually supplanting
oratory. It Is the. friendly, social and In
tellectual rivalry of the future. Tho ne
cessity of cultivating It Is apparent. In
truth many of the foremost universities
dovoto no less to It than to any other
course of study. It it, itvloed titling that
western universities should rank along
side of Harvard and Yale la the pructlco
of this art. Every effort should bo made
to perfect such a league. Tho formation
of such a leagno will bo of no little credit
to our Alma Mater and those students
who by their foresight and Industry have
nuulo tholr offorU bear wholesome fruit.
A writer In last Sunday's Journal, under
the caption of "Hohomla" says that tho
"H'nte university Is becoming coHtnopol
Itan." Wo do not take uxeop Ion to tho
lattor statement, but wo do most doc dedly
question tho wisdom and expediently of
muklng .he character of the sketch a sub
Jeet of rM'.oulo and literary sareasiii la
connection with the university. Wo do
not know the motive of the article nor do
wo caro. Why then hold .his Innocent man
with his peculiar foreign traits up to the
public as an example of university cosmo
polltanlsm? Is It not a moral Injustice?
How does It concern the public ns news?
"Hohomla" as tho Journal correspondent
says is odd and ovon makes his appear
anco rldloulous In tho light of Amorlcan
manners. Hut what of that? We certainly
should refrain from displaying his oddl
ties before the public as a peculiarity of
university environment. Tim. "Bohemia"
has talent, no one donlos. Tho Nebraskan
does not w sh to be understood as an ex
ponent of "noheml.i" and his peculiar
ways. A correspondent who can display
his literary talent and sarcasm In no oth
er way than by taking such subjects for
his sketch, certainly adds littlo to tho Held
of Journalism,
Membors of tho faculty are putt ng
themselves In touch with tho school llfo
of tho sta.o by dellvor.ng addresses hero
and thero In connection with high school
commencements. This Is a stop which
Is pralsowor.hy and certainly will bear
fruitful rosults. It has boon only wl.hln
tho last few years that tho high schools
of the Btate have awakened to tho fact
.hat the university Is capable of wielding
a mighty Influence for good In education
al training. Their appreciation is attested
by the number of InvLntlons different pro
fessors have received this year in the way
of delivering commencement sormons and
graduating ogresses. The high school
thought strango that tho lndy orator
aro certainly entitled to got all they can
from our professors In this respect. Tho
good thai accrues Is reciprocal. The fac
ulty can see the fallings In tho high wohool
system ami glvo wholesome advice as to
Its Improvement. On tho other hand the
pupils are Inspired with higher educational
Ideals by listening to a carefully prepared
address on sumo ohota theme. We re
joice In this deserving recognition of tho
faculty's earnest efforts In behalf of ad
vanced and thorough methods of teach
ing. Tho l'ershlng Itllles aro making extend
ed preparations for an exhibition drill.
As It will bo necessary to hold It In tho
armory, tho tickets must bo limited. It
has been suggested that a small admis
sion fee bo chnn;' ' and' tho receipts bo
turned .nor to t'io disposal of tho athlello
board This w m tc bo a good plan, as
It might bfl possible fur tho athletic hoard
to use tho money advantageously, and It
would rid tho Itllles of tho burdomome
iiuostlon, of bow tho attendance Is to bo
limited.
TO HIOII SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.
It Is well known that .hrough a wise
provision of former tariff laws, tho s.-bools
and colleges of the country have been per
mitted for many years to Import hooks,
chemicals and apparatus for their own uco
free of duty. This has iniido It possible
for many of the smaller schools and col
leges .o supply their llbrar'es with books,
and tho laboratories with chemicals and
apparatus, so that they have been able
In many eases to do as good work as tho
larger and more wealthy Institutions. Kor
some reason this wise provision has been
left out of .ho tariff bill now ponding in
eontrress, and unless the people of the
country protest, there Is a llkllhood that
the bill will ho passed In Its present condition.
This Is a matter of In.erost to every stu
dent, to every school, to every community
In our country. It will bo a grave mis
take to lay a tax upon education which
shall make tho burdens of every commun
ity heavier, and congress should not bo
permitted to pass the bill without strong
protest from every town and hamlet
throughout the laud.
Let every school board, every principal,
every library, every labonwory, overy sol
entitle society, every literary club, send
In a protest against this feature of the bill.
Ask that tho new tariff b.ll be so amend- ,
ed as to provide for "the Importation of
books, chemicals and apparatus for tho
use of schools and colleges free of duty."
Write to your congressman now, or It may
bo too late.

XAVER SCHARWENKA.
One of the greatest dlsadvan.agos under
which the western musical students la
bor, Is tho lack of opportunity to hear
great artists and thereby gala high Ideals.
So when, by a happy chance, so grca. a
pianist ns Scharweuka Is brought to our
doors and In splto of tho large guarantee
which It Is necessary to make In order to
got him, tho prices aro made to suit every
music student's purse, I. would be s.mpio
neglect of opportunity to lot such a
chance pass. It Is us good as a number
of lessons for aspiring pianists, or In fact
any music student to hear a player l.ke
Scharweuka. Tho Topeka Capital says of
him as follows:
"It Is only a great artist who can hold
an audience spell bound throughout an
entire evening with the piano. It Is a no.
bio Instrument but not so human as .he
violin, and therefore It Is more d ffercnt
to appeal to and hold a largo audience
with tho piano. But when such a musician
as llerr Scharweuka plays, the listener
forgets what the Instrument s In h h
hands, and fancies by turn, that he beam
the swee est of human vo.cus and the
grainiest of orchestras."
The Musical Cuutler, (Now York) io
marks: "Tho'TolI Over. urn' played b
Scharwenka was u tonal uiasiei piece and
the less highly colored numbers rippled
front under Holiarenka's velvet lingers,
with tho most exquisite dellcney and the

a treat .o hear Scharwenka play anil f"i
