are The good and the bad. The good
dream has the effect OF uplifting the
human heart and stabiliZing charac-

good and bad. the bad element in
some instances being a warning
against taking missteps.
THE influence of dreams upon the
life of Joseph were for good. His
great visionary powers enabled him
to interpret the dreams of others. He
was a prophet and a dreamer. The
ability to interpret demonstrated early
in life when he. gave an interpreted

To the Editor OF the Nevada State

beCeLuDeT D, 1919.
To the Editor OF the Nevada State
Journal. Reno. Nevada.
Dear ~Sir:-Since in your issue of
Sunday, December 5th, you have adj
dressed to me a public inquiry as to
my views of the function of the Edu-
cational Survey Commission. I beg to
reply in the following open letter.
The Act creating this commission il
appears has been construed in vari-
Gus ways. AS the preamble reads. the
commission might be expected 10 con-
slider all educational agencies, both
public and private. AS o will note
II does not say all state educational
agencies, but simply all educational
agencies, but the member OF the house,
who introduced the bill for the act Gre
ating the commission, has affirmed
that at no time did he have the uni
versity in mind rs included in its pro.
visions, and that at no time in the dis
cussion of he bill in the legislature
was anything said which implied such
al inclusion.
In this situation, the commission
concluded after careful consideration
that a survey of the university by il
was not intended and emphasized this
conclusion by a very large affirma-
tive vote. Personally, | understand
the law-though broadly worded-was
intended by the legislature to apply
especially TO the rural schools. Ii was
not my understanding that the school
survey was to comprehend an investi-
CATION of II particular school and
hence the commission would not be
making an investigation of the Reno
public schools as such. but only as Il
part of the school system.
AS to my own position in the matter.
| would say. first of all, that in my
opinion the state university is under
a form of control which makes it
quickly responsive to public opinion
and which enables the people of Ne
vada TO inform themselves promptly
and easily as TO its conduct. The
board of regents is directly chosen by
the people and there is in addition an
honorary board Of visitors. represeu-
tative of every county in the common
wealth, appointed by the governor.
1t lies within the easy reach. there
fore, of every voter and taxpayer to
%acquaint himself with the administra-
ton of the university in any particu-
Lar either by direct approach or
through inquiry addressed to either
one of the boards above mentioned.
l venture to add although If may
seem unnecessary, an expression of
my own Willingness n desire that
any question thai arises in the pub
lie mind as to the university should
receive the fullest public investiga-
ton.
That l should take, however. an
active part in the work of the COM
mission in case and In so far as II
proceeds to a survey of the university
raises a question of propriety which
H. seems to me can be answered in
only n way. Manifestly l could not
properly participate in such an in
Quiry. On the other hand I am always
glad when the people of Nevada give

A Nation Of Fords.

Chicago Journal: Having fun with
the peace trip now, however. is too
much like testing at the dead. The
journal prefers to point the benefit
which the country may reap from
that gorgeous fasco. 1t should end
our national delusion that unframed,
force of good intentions, native In
genuity, and large sums OF money, are
able to shape the universe to their
will, and keep themselves and their
country from disaster.
Ford had good intentions: there is
no doubt on that score. He had
money. and he spent it "as IL dollars
were withered leaves, and he the
owner of boundless forests" He had
and has-a world of native wit.
But he had no understanding of the
other mans mind, no conception OF
world forces, no enlightening know
ledge of history or saving sense OF
honor; and he isa coming home a
weary and disi1lusioned man.
In most things save worship OF
business and lack of humor we are
a nation of Fords. We have wealth
we have talent, we have good inten
tons But we have not that humil
ity which makes for study and sac.
rifice, or that grasp of underlying
facts and forces which enables a PEG
pie to know and in some sense de
termines its fate. May heaven per
NIT us to learn these things before
the whole nation adventures on a
voyage like that OF Henry Ford.

USELESS SUBJECTS

Of Subjects in Iowa School
Curriculum.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Dec. 29.-Edu-
Gators high in the circles OF the State
Teachers association unite In saying
that the next big thing on the edu-
cational program, aside from continu-
ance Of the fight to secure pensions
for the aged teachers, Is that OF max
ing judicious use of the blue PEN
cil' in the school curriculum.
1t will be recalled that at the last
session of the association held In this
city committee report on this sub
1ect received much attention and the
committee was continued with addi-
lions to make further investigation
and report The committee is made
up of some Of the very ablest OF the
educators Of the state, as follows: G.
NJ. Wilson. Ames; w. L. Hanson, Bur
lington; G.. II. Belts. Mt. vernon; w.
F. Cramer, Atlantic; e. e. Lewis.
Iowa City; c. W. Stone, Cedar Falls;
J. R. Stacks, Sac City; F. w. Hicks.
Ames; J. H. Beveridge, Council
Bluffs; G. w. Kline, Waterloo; NJ. G..
Clark. Sioux City: Eugene Henely,
Grinnell.
The preliminary report Of the COM
mittee indicated a belief that the
wedding out process as applied to use
lcsS SUN LIDS Iot DCCh hCSpA14S paw
with the process Of addition of new
material found to be required by the
necessities Of the times; that vast
amount of material is being carried
along in the school work that might
better be supplanted by other equally
good material more modern in its
character; and that the necessity for
this trimming out process has become
imperative.
The committee intends to do some
investigating this year and probably
the next; but is expected to make a
report to the state association next
year that will form the basis of very
material changes in the school work
in Iowa. The preliminary report Is
to be printed and distributed and all
possible publicity be given to the en-
tire subject.
