IDEALS AND NOT
MONEY ARE WHAT
COUNT IN LIFE
Rev. Mr. Lowe Tells High Stu
dents of Things That Go
Toward Fitting People
for Citizenship.
"Ideals are what count and not
life or billions," was the theme of Rev.
Titus Lowe's baccalaureate sermon de
livered Sunday at the First Metho
dist church to the members of the
Central High school graduating class
and their friends. .
Satan's words spoken concerning
Job, "everything that a man has will
he give in exchange for his life," Mr.
Lowe used as his text. The sermon
impressed upon the boys and girls
about to enter the world that the
Weals deply ingrained in their souls
should be their guide in preference
to any desire of pecuniary gain even
at' the cost pf life itself.
"The day -of the money king has
passed and the era of ideals is at
hand," said Mr. Lowe. "It takes a
man like General Foch with ideals to
handle the world situation. If General
Pershing proves to be the man that
we believe he is, it will be because of
ideals, and not dollars.
. Ideals Before Life.
"You can take all the moneyed men
of the United States, of Ensrland and
of France and altogether they will
.not mean as-much to the American
people as do General Foch and' Field
Marshal Haie.
"Ideals come before life. One does
not have to live. Many during the
past and present have thoueht it
better to die than live without ideals.
Joan of Arc thoueht it best to die
Think of it, you high school girls,
' she was only 17 years old when she
was commanding the armies of
runtc,
"Loyalty to ideals is better than
life. Germany's shame is an eternal
shame because it tore up the paper
and its honor with it. If you want
to read of heroes and heroines you
have but to read the daily papers;if
you want to read of heroines who are
daily dying for ideals, you have but
to read of the heroic Red Cross nurses
of today. What the women of France
are being called upon to do now, you
may De called upon to do before the
war is over.
Community Will Be Proud.
"If you give yourself up to the
ideals, I am certain that the com
munity will be proud of the class of
1918. Don t save your life at the
cost of honor. Don't save your life
if by losing it you can prove that the
things that rule the earth are ideals."
The Central High gradutes will hold
their banquet Wednesday night at the
Happy Hollow club. The commence
ment exercises for the four public
high schools will be held at the Audi
torium Friday night.
CRUSH BARBERRY
BUSHES AND HELP
. SAVE WHEAT CROP
In spite of the vigorous campaign
waged in this state on the common
barberry bush,, which spreads the
black rust on wheat, the pernicious
plants were not all eradicated and
black rust has been discovered in the
wheat around Tekamah and Craig,
Neb., as a result.
. Spores from the destructive fungus
bred on the leaves of the barberry
bush are now fructifying and are
spreading through the fields of grow
ing rrain TIia naracitAe ei,rL- tli.
plant food out of the wheat stems
are worthless even as chicken feed.
Barberry bushes are used in Omaha
for hedges and ornamental plants and
have not been destroyed, even though
the menace has been pointed out
through press publicity and other
agencies.
A single plant in a city lawn can
spread the spores that cause black
rust for miles through the country
districts, infecting the grain fields.
Barberry bushes should be dug out
by the roots and burned. Every one
of these bushes means less, bread.

OMAHANS ATTEND
ST. LOUIS CITY
PLANNING MEET
J. E. George, George T. Morton,
J. C. Barrett and B. Kvenild of the
Gty Planning commission; City
Commissioner Towl, City Engineer
Bruce and J. M. Gillan of the indus-.
trial bureau of the Omaha Chamber
of Commerce passed several inter
esting and profitable days during the
week at a city planning convention
in St. Louis.
These men returned with a clearer
vision, they said, of the benefits of
city planning. They were shown
plans, drawings, maps and surveys
of a comprehensive city plan for St.
Louis. The cost of this planning
survey will be $60,000 and the im
provements contemplated will amount
to more than $9,000,000.
City Commissioner Towl was im
pressed with the desirability of work
ing out a zone system in a metropoli
tan city such as Omaha. He expects
to work in conjunction with the city
planning commission in formulating
a zone plan which will regulate the
location of industries, residences, re
tail and wholesale business and other
divisions of municipal life.
Government Needs Drafting
Clerks; Men, Women Wanted
Alan McDonald, Omaha architect,
is co-operating with Miss Duffy of the
Van Sant School of Business in of
fering a course which will fit young
men and women for the several
varieties of drawing work now open
with the government, and to secure
which the civil service commission is
carrying on a national advertising
campaign.
In the ordnance department and
the ship-building yards, the need is
most imperative and many hundreds
of drafting clerks could be put to
work at once if prepared.
Since there are but few, the govern
ment is urging that training courses
be established. The Van Sant School
of Business has undertaken to do this
so that young men under military
age and women of Omaha and vicin
ity may secure the training close at
hand and without delay. Information
appearing elsewhere in this issue will
give an idea of the salaries paid bv
the government.
Those who prefer employment
near their home may obtain positions
as draftsmen and draftswomen with
public utilities, railroads and in other
lines. Miss Duffy reports that calls
already have been made upon the
school by employers whose drafts
men have entered Some branch of
military service.
Alan McDonald is a graduate of
Harvard university and of the Har
vard school of architecture and is a
member of the American Institute of
Architects. He is engaged in the
practice of his profession in this city.
ine course consists of six hours
class work a week, or an eouivalent
number of hours at the convenience
of students. The work will be
handled individually, so as to permit
the earliest conclusion of the course.
The course follows:
Exercises in the use of the various
drawing instruments, exercises in the
elementary forms common in archi
tectural and engineering drafting, ex
ercises in architectural, engineering
and poster lettering, short problems
in achitectural drawing, short prob
lems in engineering drawing, final

ALL VACATIONS
DURING WAR AT
BOYLES TABOO
President of College Recruiting
Army of 3,000 for Service
in Commercial Lines
in Omaha.
When interviewed in his private
sanctum a few days ago, H. B. Boyles,
president of Boyles College, said:
"You can tell them this 'for me:
There woi't be any vacation in this
part of Omaha this summer nor any
other summer for that matter, until
this war is over. Until then, myself
and brother, V. W., with our entire
following, will stay right on the job
and do our bit to show the kaiser
that business in these parts cannot be
crippled by him nor any of his mis
sionaries in this country.
"I'm recuiting an army of 3,000
young people for a service that will
make a showing such as never was
made in the history of commercial
warfare in Omaha and the rest of this
part of the west. And before another
year closes, we'll have 3,000 young
people on the firing line of big bus
iness, prepared to relieve that many
fighters for overseas duty. I do not
intend to infringe on Mr. Crowder's
territory, so I'm not recruiting among
those who are men of military age nor
am I intending to draft anyone into
this army. What I want are those
too young for the army and women
and girls and boys that have that
patriotic strain in their make-up that
will make them fighters such as this
old business world never was in need
of before.
To Show Them Their Duty.
"No, I won't attempt to draft a
single person into this army of
workers, but I intend to show them
what is what in regard to their duty
along this line, then if they shirk
that duty and go out and take a three
month vacation, well, I'll feel that
I've done my duty in the matter and
that I've given them the opportunity
to make a showing for themselves.
"Further, I'll show these young
people the best investment in time
and money they ever could hope to
see, let alone enjoy for themselves.
I'll give them back the bulk of what
they would ordinarly spend in vaca
tioning, and for what they invest in
tuition I'll guarantee that they will
reap a hundred fold, not only their
first year in the business world, but
every following year and in bigger
lumps as they gain experience.
Rates Not to Be Raised.
"And I'll have nothing to do with
this proposition of raising tution
rates, as the majority of business
training schools are doing, because
if anyone is kept from getting a com
mercial education through lack of
funds, I don't wapt the blame laid
at my door.
"I'll make summer study the most
popular way of spending a vacation
you ever saw, and I don't expect to
hear one kick, for considering what
our boys in training over here and in
battle over there are enduring un
complainingly, we've got the softest
snap in the world."
Normal Notes.
The freshmen class at Chadron had a
picnic at Spring Creek Thursday afternoon.
Saturday afternoon the class was represent

for her work in poaching the play. Besides
members of the class, the following were
present: Miss Cowan, George Costley,
George Russell, and Harold Norman, As
usual all present had a fine time.
After paying the expenses of the banquet
and other necessary expenses, the Junior
class have nearly $60 left. This they
voted to use toward war work, instead of
turning It toward a gift fund as Is usual.
The senior class presented "Merely Mary
Ann" to a large and appreciative audience
Friday night. The cast is to be compliment
ed on Its excellent work.
The senior class had voted to Invest the
proceeds of the class play In a statue of
"Joan of Arc," which was to have been the
gift of the normal, but on account of the
embargo on freight In the east they were
unable to secure the statue. Instead they
voted to Invest the proceeds In war savings
stamps until after the war, and then pre
sent the gift to the school.

over the state, on which he delivered com
mencement addresses at several places.

THE BIG THREE
WAR HAS CREATED
SHORTAGE OF MEN
IN COLLEGE WORK
Graduating Classes Are Small,'
But Nebraska Institutions
Report Successful Year;
None Close Doors.
Dfspite the fact that commence
ment this year has found the ranks
of every graduation class cut almost
to the "hone" because of war condi
tions, Nebraska colleges report a suc
cessful year.
i The attendance at some of the col
leges has been reduced as much as 80
pvr cent. Students either enlisted last
summer and did not return to college
last fall, or left college in the middle
of the year without taking their de
grees. As a result the income from
tutition fees of the colleges has been
considerably reduced.
Even the enrollment of young
women students has been lowered.
Many girls who would ordinarily leave
their homes fir higher education have
remained at home to replace in vari
ous fields the men who are in the
service.
Many Teachers Enlist,
The ranks of the faculty members
of imany of the colleges have also
beefo slashed because many teachers
have enlisted in officers' training
camps, Young Men's Christian asso
ciation work or other branches of the
service. In many cases the vacancies
left by these teachers have been im
possible to fill.
Money, almost vital to the support
of many institutions, in the state,
which would ordinarily be contributed
to the college treasuries, has also been
extremely difficult to secure because
it has been diverted to the purchase
of Liberty bonds and other patriotic
purposes. ,

tions, every college in the state has
responded to the appeal of the na
tional government to keep up its v. k
of educating young men until they u
called to the colors or until they are
needed for reconstruction purpose
after the war.
Many Remain Behind.
As a result of the president's ap
peal many college men have refrained
from enlisting and have remained to
complete their specialized training un
til they have been called to the colors
So an air of seriousness has hung
over the commencement festivities
of the Nebraska colleges. Patriotic
themes formed the subjects of th.
commencement addresses. The dedi
cation of service flags for absent stu
dents and alumni was the chief feature
of the progams at many of the col
leges. . .
