President Northrop apoko In part as fol lows : I shall offer no apology for speaking to you upon a plain nnd practical1 subject the education which our country needs. I em phasize In this subject the expression which our country needs. I believe that different peoples require different education , and thnt the same pee ple may require different education at differ ent stages of their development. There are peculiar conditions , both of population and of development In this eoun- try , which Justify departures In education from the lines of work which may be tbo most desirable In some other countries' , I need mention only two or three. First Our population la not homoge neous. Second Our people are all equal In polit ical rights and political power. It Is as nec essary for the day laborer to know what IB best for Iho country as It Is for the man of any other position. Third Our country U not yet fully set tled and our population Is exceedingly mov able. able.The The situation , as mpy be seen , Is not an Ideal one. There Is a tremendous waste of force in air directions ; and not a little in the educational work done under these renditions Is like the training of the sports man who , having fired at a calf , supposing It to be a deer , and having failed to hit it , explained bis lack of skill by saying that he fired so as to hit It If It were a deer , and miss U If It were a calf. Quito fre quently It Is a calf , and perhaps It Is for- tunajo that we roUs It as often as wo do. This very hasty sketch of the shifting elements of our country BUggests the fact that the training of large numbers of our people must be and Is exceedingly super ficial. We are an Ingenious people , an In ventive people , a people with wonderful adaptability , nut there are altogether too many jack-of-all-trades and good at none. Ktliifuted Men Neeilril. There Is today a demand for educated men In the multitude of occupations that formerly had no existence or were conducted by uneducated men. The whole world of labor U to be engaged In the application of scientific principles to mechanics or to agri culture , to transportation , to social life or municipal rife. The haphazard method ol doing things by guess has got to stop and the laws of nature are to be applied to nearly everything that Invites human labor ; our education must fit men for air these varied occupations. Vet I do not by any means believe that we have reached an educational millennium. If any college officer or any teacher of public school contemplates with perfect t- Isfnctlon the results of the training given to the average student all I have to say Is that he In easily satisfied. It halt been customary to divide literature Into two kind * , the literature of knowledge and the literature of power. I would di vide education In the name way. Everyone who knows anything about the matter will admit that In respect to the amount of knowledge Imparted , our Institutions of learning arc Incomparably superior to those of former times. The sciences are prac tically the product of tbo present century and the thorough nnd systematic teaching of the sciences has been possible but little more than a generation. History nnd lit erature were never taught ns they arc to day until comparatively a few years ago. Other branches of reaming might be named of which the same could be said. ( ilnrjof Moilrrn Kiliicntlnn. The glory of our modern education Is its adaptation to the wants nt once ot the race and of the Individual. It provides for both the material nnd the spiritual wants of the Htudcnt. It docs not reject poetry and lit erature because chemistry and physics are more Important ; nor does It reject science because literature gives n different kind of culture or n better culture. It furnishes whatever will help man to do the best work , and , also , whatever will help him to bo the > cst man. It will be readily seen thnt certain things which have been true ot education In the ast must be equairy true of education In bo future. Let mo name a few. There Is no royal road to learning. Teachers must till teach. Scholars must still study. The urrlculum must embrace those Btudles which the world still agrees In caUIng a lasslcal course. Fundamental discipline must not be overlooked. Culture must still ic regarded as a most desirable and most necessary result of education. Unrest Is the Taw of progress. The cdu- atlon which makes n man contented , or makes classes of people contented when hey have not apprehended the best things , a In a degree , n failure. That education alone Is successful which nwnkens In man a noble discontent with the undeveloped irescnt nnd nn earnest longing for more icrfect attainments. Stir the soul or the nlnd out of Its lethargy and discontent is ncvltnble. You , ladles nnd gentlemen , are a part of ho people. Never think of yourselves ns icrsons above or apart from the people. You have had opportunities for education nnd development greater than most of the icople enjoy , and It Is possible that you may > o tbo leaven which Is to be hidden in the man till the whole Is leavened. But the eaven must be hidden In the man , If the man Is to bo leavened. It can not bo kept bv Ittclf ns something too prcc- oua to mix with what It Is designed to af- ect. The elevntlon of a people must nlwaya > e the result of the elevation of Individuals. The more Individual there are educated the nero the man will be elevated. The edu cated man and woman must accept the bur- len which Increased power lays upon them and bpar It bravely for the good of nil. They must know what Is truth and be ready o contend for It. The greatest thing In the world is love , and they must have a large measure of this love , under the Influence of which they shall work mightily for the Iftlng up of the lowly and the enlighten ment of those In darkness. Hrlef AtlilrcRu liy Poynter. In presenting the commissions to cadet officers Governor Poyntor spoke as follows : The military officer In charge and the chancellor have certified to me your rank n the cadet battalion of the university and by the authority of the statutes of the state I today Issue to you your commis sions as retired officers of the university cadeta. These commissions render you lla- ilo to be cnlled Into the service of the stnto n case of Invasion , Insurrection or rebellion n the same manner ns the state mllltla. The act of the national congress which pro vides aid to stnto universities directs that education In military science be Included In the curriculum of study. This. It seems to me , was Intended to aid the greater effi ciency In case of emergency of that part of the service upon which our government must ever depend her vofunteer citizen soldier. A great military establishment , the right arm of kings and despots Is unknown in our country. As a nation It has ever been our boast and our pride that In times of wnr every citizen was a soldier , in times of peace every soldier was a citizen. An \rrny of such composition must ever be nvlnclble because patriotism can alone call t Into being. A thousand battreflpldR of our country's history attest Its efficiency , and the splendid advancement and growth of our country and her position of unequaled - equaled Influence among the nations of the world prove the wisdom of our military system. The work of the military department of our university has be n proven In the past , but more recently In the war with Spain. The epfondld response to the call to main tain the honor of the flag and to assist In the cause of humanity , giving liberty to : ho oppressed , is so recent that our minds constantly dwell upon it today. One hun dred and seventy-five gallant young soldiers marched forth from the walls of the uni versity. Of that number eleven will return to us no more. But In the coming years with each recurring springtime , when the flowers bloom and patriotic citizens atEem- blo to keep nllve the memories of the he roes of ' 01 nnd ' 65 the same hands that strew flowers upon their graves wilr dec orate the lost resting places of the young heroes of ' 98 and ' 99. Nothing hut good reports come to us of the bravery and nol- dlery bearing of tbo young men of the Oadet jattnllon. And today wo nre proud of them. Young men , your country is not calling you today to go forth In her cause In camp and field , but she Is calling you Just as earnestly to defend her nnd maintain her Institutions in the peaceful walks of citizen ship. Here no less than In active military service win tbo discipline which your con nection with the cadets has given you stand you In good stead. To bo nblo to command one must first learn to obey. Go forth equipped with scholastic and military trainIng - Ing with both minds and bodies educated to obey your wills , determined to exercise all your powers for the uplifting nnd ad vancement of humanity. Great civic prob lems arc to be solved. Questions of grav est Import nnd most vital Interest In our government must bo determined. As brnvo sordlers. never shirking a duty , equipped and trained ns you are. lead forward the armies of earnest patriotic citizens for their 8GWhllo' toke pleasure In giving you to day the commissions of the state showing your military training nnd the official decree - creo to which you have attained In the Uni versity Cadet battalion , nnd while I know that should occasion demand you would dis play the same bravery , the same patriotism , as did your comrades in ' 98. yet we pray God that the occasion may not soon arise , but that peace and prosperity , liberty and fraternity , may continue to direct the des tinies of our country. .Schnlitrntilm Awarded.

( Special. ) The an nouncement of the election of Chancellor George E. MacLcan of the State university to the presidency of the University of Iowa by the board of regents of that Institution was not n surprise to people connected with the Nebraska college , as it was rumored In this city several weeks ago that his name had been considered nnd that he would prob ably bo tendered the position. However , the chancellor has not been asked whether ho would accept and the first Intimation ho had of the action of the regents of the Iowa Institution was when ho received a telegram last night from Iowa City asking him If he would accept. He replied that he would con sider the matter and today ho sent another leregrara to the regents stating that It would be Impossible for him to give a definite an swer for at least two days. In the meantime the regents of the Nebraska university will consider the probable departure of the chan cellor and It Is quite probable that an In ducement In the way of an Increase In sal ary will bo offered for him to remain In his present situation. The salary paid the chancellor of the University of Nebraska Is 5,000 a year , whllo the yearly salary of the > re ldcnt of Iowa university Is equivalent o about $7,000.

Schaeffer , who died last Septem ber. ber.It It was reported In Lincoln this morning hat Chancellor MacLcan would bo offered ho position of president of the University of California , but the report has not been offlcjplly confirmed and It Is not generally believed.

The Board of Regents met this morning n executive session to consider the matter , ) Ut'no decision as to raising Chancellor MacLcan's salary was reached.

( Special. ) The sixteenth nnnimt commcnccincnl nt Uollevue college ended toilny with the grad uating exercises held nt Clarke hall. In place of the orations usually delivered by the members of tlic clnss an address was given by Rev. T. V. Moore. 1) . P. , of Omaha. The auditorium , which the freshman clnss had rendered bright nnd nttrnctlvo with flowers and the college colors , purple and gold , was crowded with n host of spectators , friends of the faculty and students and well- wishers of the college. The Invocation by Uev. Backus , D. D. , of Kansas City , and an exquisite solo , "In Autumn" ( Franz ) , by Miss Aljco Doty , were a flttlnK Introduction to the brilliant and scholarly address of Dr. Moore. His theme was "Tho New Km In Our National Life , " and ho spoke , firstly , on the conditions that had wrought the change nnd , secondly , on the forces required to meet these new con ditions and responsibilities. This country , whether for good or 111 , has emerged from Its century of Isolation and has taken Its stand among llic nations of the world. While the Spanish-American war changed our attitude to the people at largo In this respect , the expansion of our national policy was the outgrowth of silent , subtllo forces that had been nt work for years. Isolation , freedom from entangling alliances , the Monroe doctrine , were neces sary In the early days of our nation's Ills- toryT but the time had como when wo must bear our shnro In the responsibilities of the world when our Influence must bo felt In the parliament of nations. Not only abroad , but at homo , the same Influences were at workncw , responsibilities , now obligations , new duties were thrust upon us. Problem of n. Prafcctnrnto. The problem of a protectorate In both the West Indies and the Philippines confronting us of teaching nn alien people , hostile by training nnd tradition to all we hold In rev erence , dominated bv n host of monks , friars nnd other clergy of the Roman Cath olic church , whose Influence , In solfdefcnce , If nothing else , must bo opposed to our Ideas of law and liberty , yet whom we cannot under our laws meet on the bame grounds , whoso methods wo may not employ. The vast aggregations of capital at homo foretell a change In our own economic policy which may not be controlled by legislation , but which may become a menace to the state. With the Increase of our possessions has eomo the need of n larger army and navy , necessitating an Increase of taxa tion , a corresponding decrease of produc tion , whllo out of these circumstances will come a new factor , a new Influence In our national policy , namely , the military power , n natural outcome of Its growth from our small standing army of a year ago to the force It Is thought will now bo required. Our experience In dealing with inferior races In the past has not been such as to warrant success In our colonial policy ex cept by n great sacrifice of blood and treas ure.
