Night High schooi.
OMAHA. Nov. 1s-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Measuring education by the earn
estness with which students apply them
selves to the work, the results flowing
from night high schools mark certain
present and future dividends on the IN
vestment. The men and women whom
necessity forced into the workaday world
long before their time. or to whom school
opportunities were denied, possess far
greater appreciation Of education than OBJ
tains in ordinary school life.
Experience In the worlds workshops
brings home a realization OF deficiencies
In dozens Of ways the educational neglect
OF earlier years retards Advancement or
makes slow and laborious tasks that are
simple to minds grounded in the fund.-
montals. To them the chance of making
up in part for lost opportunities spurs
ambition to the utmost and brings to the
work the tense earnestness Of hearts and
minds fully aware OF their needs. Hardly
any branch Of popular education serves a
purpose as urgent as these schools. How
well they are appreciated is shown by
the numbers OF eager learners crowding
accommodations In Omaha and many
other cities. The more completely this
need is supplied the greater will be the
benefits In improved citizenship.

Merely Manifesting College spirit.
OMAHA, Nov. 16-To the Editor OF The
Bee: II l had not seen II with my own
eyes I could not have believed 1t. Can 1t
be that there is one man in Omaha who
does not understand and appreciate true
college spirit7
The Creighton demonstration OF Friday
night was by far the most imposing spec
tacle of college spirit which has yet been
seen In Omaha.
College spirit, or enthusiasm, as It Is
commonly called. springs from love and
loyalty TO the school which we attend.
II prompts us to make such demonstra-
ton of our fervor by voicing the college
''yells'' in walking the streets It Is that
spirit which prompts "old grads" to jour
ney across the continent to visit their
alma mater once year to see their
old chums and to review old acquaint-
ances. Yet Mr.. Atwood says that such
demonstration shows "a lack Of perspec-
tive"
HE says. there may be some excuse
for such exhibitions of college enthus SIN
in a small town. bat such is not the case
I'm Omaha" In answer to this / quote
the words OF an eastern college man fol-
lowing a like demonstration last year.
Said he. 1T does me good - see thoss
boys show that loyal spirit All the east
ern colleges have such celebrations and
have often wondered why Creighton men
held back"
AS to the ordinary business man."
who, Mr.. Atwood says, is anything but
favorably impressed, etc." 1 challenge
that statement and claim that the ma
jority of the merchants and theatrical
men are glad to see the boys come to
their places OF business and willingly
throw open their doors to the boys in
their Qualifications.
I'VE suggest" he says, that the Omaha
theaters protect their patrons from this
sort OF student enthusiasm" When we
visited the other Omaha theaters (viE..
the Orpheum. the Strand. the Gayety and
Empress) the audiences applauded each
yell and showed they were with us. We
damage nothing and inconvenience no
one in these demonstrations, yet we give
Creighton the best advertisement that
anyone can put out. I repeat. the Creigh-
ton boys have the right idea.
There is not one business man in
Omaha, I dare say, who will back Mr..
Atwood in his statement that these dem
onstrations do not meet with general ap-
prevail" for 1 know the students from
Creighton university, Central High school
and Boyles college bring more transient
business to Omaha than any institution
or any single line of business in our city.
