University of Omaha
to Begin Fifth Year
With Bright Outlook
The University of Omaha will begin the
fifth year of its educational work on
September 16. The outlook for new
students Is by far tho best It has been
In the history of the Institution. Th's Is
due to the fact that the Omaha uni
versity has commended Itself to tho gen
eral public for tho high grade of work
which It has been doing. Redick hall
and John Jacobs gymnasium are helm?
thoroughly renovated. A number of nev
courses are being offered In political and
social sciences, home economics, EngUh
literature and art The preparatory de
partment has boen thoroughly organized
and will be conducted as a model pchool.
The work in the normal depurtment has
been strengthened by making mow ex
tensive provisions for practice teucnlng
and observation. Tho university Is au
thorized to offer first grade state teach
ers' certificates. Arrangements have
been made for conducting night Classes
In various preparatory and colles
studies. The university Is aiming to
meet the needs of young men and worafn
who have either neglected or been de
prived of education In the stud.rs of
academic and collegiate grade. Tho out
look is very good for an Increase In th
attendanco In the law department which
Is conducted in tho main as a nleht
school.
Joseph TobtBka, M." B., of tho Uni
versity ot Nebraska, who has been se
cured as Instructor In chemistry, s also
thoroughly trained In Indoor gymnlstlc
and will have charge of this phase of the
college athletics. Sanford Glfford, E. A.,
of Cornell university, New York, and for
the last year a post-graduate student at
the University of Chicago, will have sev
eral courses in social problems.
Special provision has been made In th
art department for those who wish to
take courses In designing and In deco
rative work, both in leather and in wood

dustry and lack of persistence two traits
easily corrected ho often falls to use this

STUDENTS OPERATE BIG FARM
Princeton Underurdoates Till Ttro
llnndred Aerea During;
VacMlon.
Within 10) yards of the Princeton unt
verel'ty campus a farm ot 200 acres Is
being cultivated by six under-graduates
of that Institution. In a few we.eks the
crops from this acreage will be dispensed
to the students of Princeton and the
summer work, ot the six college farmers
will clow.
In conectlon with the Princeton uni
versity farm, as this land is now called,
many interesting features have been
produced. Chief among these Is the
fact that the work of the college man Is
dene strlotly on Wonor system, each man
acting as his own timekeeper.
Last year a squad ot fifteen was
Ree4e4 to till but thlrty-efx acres, but
this year the capacity of tho men was
