LINCOLN. Neb., Sept. . (Special.)
Chancellor ' Avery of the University of
Nebraska addressed the freshman class of
the university this morning on the subject
of "Loyalty to the University." In his
opening remarks the chancellor traced the
development of the university idea from
the very beginning to Its present high
state of organization. He asserted that in
America more than anywhere else the
spirit of loyalty to a school Is developed
and gave the reasous therefor and then
divided the American schools into three
classes, one formed and controlled by the
cnurcn, another under aiumm control, a
third founded by a magnate and the fourth
founded by the state and supported by the
taxpayers. He went on:
I feel compelled to admit that the finest
practical loyalty has In general been
shown by the students of those Institutions
that are on private foundations. Ordinarily
speaking the very existence of suoh insti
tutions depends upon the loyalty of the
student and the alumni. The freshman
entering quickly catches the spirit. In his
vacation he becomes an unpaid, but most

"The Most Valuable Book Ever Published
on the Subject of Training for Business
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A BUSINESS EDUCATION
HE new book just off the press and fresh from the hands of binders "Bread and Butter
Sciences" has stirred the business college world from top to toe. One of the greatest
authorities in this whole country has emphatically declared it to be "the most valuable
T
book ever published on the subject of training for business." An immaculate book of 84 beautifully-illustrated
pages, portraying the highest letter press art known, bound in white boards,
with an overthrow sheet of super-calendared stock bearing the impressive fitle "Bread and But
ter Sciences" embossed in pure gold leaf, with a protector sheet of moire tissue covering all.
Typographically speaking, this book is a "dream."
Within its covers is gathered what is probably the most comprehensive collection of au
thentic facts and eye-opening information relative to every phase of the subject of taking up a
career as a Stenographer, Bookkeeper, Telegrapher or Civil Service Appointee that you could
poosibly ask. From the earnest, impressive, heart-to-heart talk with which the President starts this
book, to the very last page, the whole book will prove of intense, absorbing, gripping interest
to any person earnestly wishing for better things for a greater, brighter, more prosperous future.
No one can possibly read "Bread and Butter Sciences" and not be the better for it. There is in it that which
will surcharge even the sluggish with the electricity of hope and ambition that will put a keener edge .on the
determination of the person who has within the seeds of success that will spur on the discouraged that will energize
the despondent. Here is a book that is not a mere business college catalogue. Here is an inspiring publication that
will mean-much to this generation that will be blessed by hundreds and hundreds in the years to come. This is a
book that you should send for and R-E-A-D, if you have not already done $o. One copy will cost you nothing.
So send for it today.
effective agent for the canvassing of new
students. The .bringing-In of new students
Is a vital matter ainoe through tuition and
dormitory fees every student represents a
revenue of from $100 to $300 per year to
the Institution, excepting some of the
smaller western universale The students
show their loyalty In other ways. Fre
quently the student has a rich relative
whom he brings to the institution and en.
deavore to Interest In Its work. Many a
contribution has come to the university on
private foundation through the loyalty of
some student whose relatives are able to
make large contributions.
Advantage Over Private School.
In a state Institution like ours the prob
lem of student loyalty la an entirely dif
ferent one. Though we appreolate your ef
forts when you bring new students to the
university, yet every new student, while
encouraging us in our work, Is a demand
on the resources of the university that
cannot always be met with the limited
funds at our disposal. With our relatively
excedlngly light fees amounting, except In
our professional schools, to only one-tenth
to one-fifth as much as the tees In private
foundations of similar rank, each student
beyond a given number presents to the uni
versity authorities a certain embarrass
ment, whereas in the case of the private
foundations he la an Immediate eouroe of
revenue. urtner, the state institutions
are not dependent upon donations. We
want the students' influential friends and
relatives to think well of us, but we are
not In the habit of trying to 'entice any
money out of their pockets. Consequently,
two great opportunities for the ext. else
of student loyalty in the case of private
foundation do not exist in the state insti
tution. Nevertheless I would maintain that
the students of the Unutverslty of Ne
braska have opportunities of showing a
loyalty to the university that will be un
surpassed In It results by the most splen
did endeavors of the students of any pri
vate foundation.
The development of a great state univer
sity presents us prooiems, some of which
are more difficult than those of the nrivii
foundation. In the first place It put, or

should put, except In Its graduate schools,
geographical limits to its sphere of Influ
ence. The private foundation la bound to
no such limitations. The state Institution
has ita definite constituency. It cannot,
with Justice to the taxpayer and a decent
respect for the rights of sister Institutions,
try to extend Its Influence In' ungraduate
work beyond state lines. If a private
foundation has a loyal constituency scat
tered, it may be, all over the country. It
Is well with that Institution, no matter
how many people may disapprove of Its
methods, may be oonvlnoed of the unsound
ness of Its courses of study, or dissatisfied
with the particular brand of religious,
moral, or Immoral suggestions that the
student may receive within Its walls. On
the other hand, the state university to
receive permanent adequate support must
be so conducted as to command the con
fidence of a large majority of the people
of the state. The enthusiasts support of
a majority is not sufficient.
Wsralsi to Yoang Mel.
The people of the state In the long run
are very much dUrosed to pass Judgment
on the university on other grounds than
the reputed eminence of Ita faculty In the
world of letters or science, or the practical
discoveries that they may make for the
good of humanity, or for the especial
benefit of the people of the state. All of
these things are weighed by the average
citizen of the state, but they are weighed
somewhat lightly. His Judgment will be
determined by the pioduct of the uni
versity, and especially by the samples of
the university's product that he sees and
knows. The young men and young women
who go from his locality and return after
having received a university training are
the specimens by which he Judges the uni
versity's product. If Judgment would be
reserved till the best specimens of the final
product could be examined the students
would need to have no special concern
about the attitude of the people towards
'the university. But the publlo will not
wait. It will notice every swaggering
freshman as he walks the streets of his
home town at the Thanksgiving recess
quite as carefully as it will notice the
freshman whose bearing shows the gentle
man and scholar. It will read the papers
and It is very likely to note particularly
and unfavorably every student escapade.
It follows, then, that in a state university
the students have, in a peoullar way. the
keeping of the good name of the university
In their charge. They are Judged by a
more or less critical community and fewer
allowances are made for their short
comings than are made to students of the
school on private foundation by the lat
ter' s devoted constituents.
The attitude of the people of the state
toward the student body is not such an
attitude as to induce those responsible for
the management of the university to sleep
well nights, nevertheless the attitude Is a
Just one and those who are In a measure
responsible for the conduct of the etudent
body have assumed thetr duties with a full
appreciation of what Is expected of them.
The truth of the matter is, to parallel the
words of Nelson, "Nebraska expects every
student to do his duty," and, furthermore,
she expects every employe of the university
to do his utmost to see that every student
dues his duty Insofar as Is consistent with
the exercise of such liberty as every young
person fit to enter the university has a
right to claim. I take It, therefore, that I
may without Impropriety specify some of
the things that the state regards as im
portant, things which might be overlooked
or considered as of relatively little Import
ance upon the ui tverstty campus. As I
said previously, the American student la
Intensely loyal, but he does not always
show his loyal feelings In a way that ap
peals to the people of the state. A favorite
way of expressing loyalty la In noise, en
thusiasm, rooting, cheering vlctora in ath
letics or in debate, showing loyal support
to the teams even when not victorious, and
even going so far as to laugh at the Jokes
of us professors. Burn loyalty is charming.
It lightens the burdens of the teaching
force. It brings In students, It creates an
atmosphere about the university and con
tributes to make the campus here and at
the farm different from any other spots
In the world and dearer to us. and yet. to
be very frank. It does not of Itself go very
far with the average taxpayer. Helpful
loyalty must also be shown in other ways.

really are. In ail thing they are asked to
simply behave themselves as well bred
young people engaged In the serious work
of obtaining Information and knowledge at
a higher Institution of learning. The uni
versity la not meant to be a winter resort
for young folks with meana to support
themselves In Idleness, nor Is It a place to
develop expensive tastes or vicious habits.
Especially are the students enjoined from
fostering unseemly rivalries between the
seven colleges that make up the university,
but they should, without abating their de
votion to the college In which they happen
to be working, stand up for the others as
welL The chancellor ooncludes his address
thus:
In asking you as students Individually
and unitedly to work for the upbuilding of
all the good things In connection with the
University of Nebraska, the thought may
occur to you, why should a student con
cern himself with suoh a subject; has he
not troubles enough of his ownT The very
reason why I feel that you will respond to
the appeal is because the only motive that
I can hold out to you la the unselfish one
that the end attained will Justify the ef
fort. I believe that in a state like Ne
braska there Is room for every type of
schuoi that we have. The denominational
schools will continue to grow and prosper.
If some trust magnate should see fit to
establish In our state a plutocratic uni
versity, the plan would doubtless receive
encouragement In certain quarters, and yet
I believe more and more fully that the
dominant educational Ideal of the country
will be the university supported by the
taxpayers and controlled by regent elected
by the people. I believe that In this way
we shall get an Institution nearer to the
whole people and will thus be of greater
service to the people than would be pos
sible on the part of any Institution main
tained by any part of the people, though
that part be a very worthy class. I feel,
too, that if the people are not fit to thus
control the education of their children they
are not fit to rule themselves; that the
whole future of democracy Is at stake, and
that ae popular Institutions are destined to
become dominant, so the state university
supported by the taxpayers Is destined to
be the dominant form of higher education.
As I said to the alumni last spring, the
University of Nebraska has a greater pro
portional representation of the people of
the slate than any other Institution In the
country. Every community of 300 on the
average sends one student to the univers
ity. In Kansas the proportion Is about 1
to 860; in Illinois, 1 to 1.300; In Ohio, 1 to
2,000. The people of Nebraska, then, are
trying to solve the problem of democratic
higher education more seriously than tt
people of any other state, and so It seems
to me that the question of whether the
people of the state are fit to control the
education of their own children Is being
tried out here In this university In a more
serious way than In any dace In the world.
In, therefore, loyally contributing your
thought, your endeavor, and especially
your self-restraint In building up an insti
tution worthy of the confidence that the
fieople of the state are disposed to put In
t, you are serving not only yourselves, you
are not only fulfilling the purpose and as
pirations of those who. often at a great
sacrifice, are sending you here, but in ad
dition to this you are contributing to the
welfare of the state, to the advancement
of the principles of democracy, and to the
permanent betterment of the human race.
BIG MONEY MADFTN JUNK
Said to Bo One of the Best Paying
Businesses la the United
tales.
"Junk leads to the ttoulevard."
This has not yet become a proverb, but
It bids fair to Join the list ra the near
future. At least, this Is what one would
conclude from the repeated migrations of
slum junk dealer to the better and in some
cases the best neighborhoods of Chicago.
Judging by the apparent ease with which
these dealers move from the congested
quarter to modern homes and the easo
with which they keep up these homes, one
might believe that a line of least resistance
lies somewhere between junk shops on
Canal, Clinton and Harrison street and
some of Chicago' fashionable residences.
And there Is such a Una For there Is
more money In junk, according to those
who are conversant with that business at
Ik it ha&d, Uiau la iwwy othar biuiaesaea
College, Omaha,
which occupy extensive office In sky
scraper and employ a corps of stenog
raphers and office boy. In fact. It is this
absence of large expenditures, the absence
of high rents, which add to the money
making character of th Junk buslnesa.
"The Junk business," said a merchant
who has been In It for a quarter of a cen
tury In Chicago, "is today one of the best
paying Industrie In Chicago, or In the
whole United State, for that matter. The
old Iron man whom you see trailing the
alley of this city for an old stove or any
castoff bit of iron, la only a drop In the
bucket of the business. The real Junk busi
ness concern itself not with scraps of
iron amounting to 100 pound or ao, but
with carload lot.
"America produce more Iron and ateel
than any country In the world, and a a
consequence there are great 1 quantities of
old Iron. Every building that Is torn down
furnishes car loads. Every large stretch
of railroad track that Is reconstructed fur
nishes a mountain of Junk and with this
profit to th Junk man. Every factory, mill
or mine. In short, every occupation, every
building, new or old, has something to dis
pose of to the junk man, some time or
another.
"So much for the city of Chicago. Now
for the country. Chicago 1 the central
market for Junk dealer for all th north
western state. Daily scores of cars loaded
with scrap Iron reach this city and are
distributed to th various Iron yards, which
are found In th vicinity of the railroads.
There are thousands upon thousands of
men scattered throughout the United States
who make It a business of gathering up
th old Iron which tha farmer may have
for sale. When a machine gets-' old and
useless there la a man there to buy it from
the farmers, and all these discards oome
to Chicago In th end and furnish a good
revenue to the Junk dealer.
"Then, of course, there la Included in the
Junk business all kinds of metals, such a
brass, copper, pewter, lead and sine With
machinery Invading every nook and corner
of the United States, with a copper or, at
least, a copper-bottomed wash boiler a a
necessity of every American household,
the revenue which the Junk man gets from
the discarded metal which the woman n
the country or superintendent of a factory
in Chicago sells to th peddler, and through
him to the Junk dealer la large."
Just where the high profits oome to In
the Junk business is hard to tell. At least
the Chicago Junk dealers themselves are
shy about disclosing their "trade secrets."
Those, however, who are close enough '.o
these men to know the Ins and out of th
business state that the money 1 chiefly
made In manipulating the price to the
advantage of the large dealer. The country
peddler. It Is said, sells his stuff more or
less "mixed" and gets a certain price for
It. When his carload of goods reaches the
Junk yard In Chicago It Is sorted. The
Junk dealers here know the market for
each and every kind of old iron or metal,
and in this way are able to get the highest
prices.
Another reason for the large profits
which the dealers make is said to be the
fact that the great majority of peddlers
are generally foreigners. Ignorant of th
language and of the custom of this coun
try, and miserably poor In addition. Such
people can be easily "squeexed" on prices
and taken advantage of In every direction
by the wholesale Junk dealer, especially If
that dealer be lacking In scruples as to his
methods of making money.
"If you had access, to th biographies
of some of the best doctors, the most suc
cessful lawyers and biggest business men
of the West Side." said a veteran West
Side resident, "you would almost Invaria
bly find that they began as junk peddlers
Just as sure as you can trace every Immi
grant from the Slavic countries of eastern
Europe today to the steel mill or mines,
or th Italian to th railroad camp.
"la spit bt tU fact, however, that th

Junk business Is responsible for th suc
cess of many, tt 1 hated and detested by
almost everyone, Including even the large
Junk dealers, who are the real money
maker. There is an atmosphere about it
which make it disgusting to a man of
finer sensibilities. The associations one
ha to form, the people one frequently has
to deal with are of an unsavory and often
utterly unreliable character. Of course,
there are crooks In every business.
"But when a junk dealer is caught buy
ing stolen goods even when he bought the
goods unknowingly, one hears more about
it, and the contempt for the man Is
stronger than it would be for a common
burglar. The story about the burglar
would be forgotten the next day. Th
story about the Junk man who buys stolen
good hovers In the air long after the man
has either been sentenced or acquitted."
The migration from the slum to the
boulevard on the part of many rich Junk
