Longer Latin Course
Is Urged by Chicago
University Teacher

DIR. c. E. Parmenter of the mod
ern language department OF the
Chicago university spoke before the
Latin section yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Parmenter pointed out the
uselessness of trying to teach pupils
language in three years, saying
that they should be given at least
six years properly to learn a Ian
guage.
No pupil should be allowed to
start course in Latin or any other
language and at the completion OF
two years drop the subject and take
up something else" he said. "As a
result Of this pupils have smatter-
ing knowledge of every language,
and can read or speak none of
them"
DR.. Parmenter pointed out that
Latin is related to almost every for
cign language and should be taken
first, before starting in to learn
other languages.
"a pupil should be able to read
Latin fuently, and without the least
hesitation. and care should be given
by the teacher to see that the pro-
nunciaticr of each word is correct"
he said. There is too much variety
in the pronunciation of the Latin
language, in different schools, and
the time must come when each word
will be pronounced the same in all
parts OF the country"

RESTORATION OF
FRENCH MINES TO
TAKE LONG Time
German Commission Report
Says 1t Will Furnish Work
for Every Unemployed
Man In Country.

Berlin, Nov. 6.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)--Work for all the UNI
employed in Germany for the next
eight years will be provided in re-
storing the ruined mines Of northern
France. says Vorwaerts. This opin-
ion is based on the report of the
German mining commission sent to
France recently to ascertain the ex-
tent of the damage, and which has
just made public its findings.
THE task" says the newspaper,
is SO great that it is sufficient to
furnish work for every idle man IN
Europe and for everyone else en-
gagged in superfluous labor. The re-
port shows the fallacy of the theory
that emigration of 100000 to 49,
100000 persons from Germany is an
economic necessity"
The commission. in its report,
said that the work of reconstruc.
ton would have to be done from
"the ground up" The destruction
was pronounced terrible" Most of
the mines have been drowned" 1t
was said, and in rebuilding new
shafts they would have to be pro-
tected against the inward pressure
of water. The Germans declared if
was not easy to fix responsibility
for the destruction because it was
done by numerous groups of troops
and the records showing where eaci,
military unit was located and at
what period were neither complete
nor available.

Application of Art.
Asked about the relation of art in

gers replied that they are really both
forms of applied art and both forms
of expression. "The art entering
into the design of gown or build
ing must respond absolutely to the
purpose and mood characterizing the
gown and its use, just as the art
which goes into such work as
Corot's Dance of the Nymphs' must
be an expression of the mood and

FUEL SHORTAGE
GROWING ACUTE
IN MANY CITIES
Regional Director in Chi
cago Can Furnish
No Plan to Relieve
Situation.

Lincoln, Nov. 6. - (SpeciaD -
There appears to be little change
in the coal situation in Nebraska.
Messages are being received both at
the office of the governor and the
State Railway commission indicat-
ing that many towns are liable to
be out of coal and all other fuel
shortly.
The State Railway commission
communicated with the regional au-
ditor at Chicago, who is supposed
to handle the situation in the west,
but got little satisfaction. He re-
piled that Chief Garfield contends
that the handling of the coal trans
portation is purely an interstate mat
ter, and if it is, means that the rail-
way commissions has no authority
or standing. The regional director
says he hopes that the commission
will do all that it can to help things
along.
Convent Out of Coal.
1t appears to be settled that it will
do little good to take the matter up
with the governors office, for the
local station agent in the town
where the shortage occurs is the
representative of the regional direc-
tor and lie is, supposed to receive
the complaints and take them up
with the regional director or the
official of his road who has the au-
thority to handle coal matters.
Father Jungles of Stuart, has
written the governors office that
bis church. convent, school and sis
tiers home is entirely out OF coal
and wants to know what to do.
Yesterday the superintendent OF
schools at Superior wired the gov
errors office that the schools. there
were nearly out of coal. The mat
ter was~at once called to the atten-
ton of Superintendent Holdrege of
the Burlington. who is looking after
the coal situation for that road and
he sent a communication to the
governor asking for information as
to whether the coal was for the
schools, how many schools there
were in the town and the amount
needed each day. An attempt to
reach the superintendent of the
schools was unsuccessful, word COM
ing back that he was in Omaha as
were also all other members of the
school board.
State institutions, with the eNcep"
ton of the penitentiary and ortho-
pedic hospital, have coal on hand to
carry them for a while. Fl. B.
Miles, who has the contract for
some of the institutions, conferred
with the board of control and said
that SO far as he knew the institu-
tons he was looking after would
not suffer for a time at least. At
the penitentiary, coal is being fur
mshed a car at a time and up to
date this has been sufficient to keep
things going. At the state house
there is no fear of immediate short

Since the discovery that mercolized wax

was afraid to back up what he
might say by signing his name. This
is not situation where the matter
of scabs can enter. 1t is situation
which demands the loyal support

up the government in its efforts t.

ieve that the ex-service men of the
country who were loyal to our in
stitutions in 19l7-lS will be just as
loyal in 1919, and that the men who
went across the water to fight the
kaiser will fight just as hard to keep
the defenseless women and children

through the cold winter before us

cause of American homes then they
will work for the cause of American
homes now, if it is necessary to
