One feature of the allotment of classes which Is new to all the students Is the plan which the registrar has put Into operation, under the advice of the department heads concerned, of having morning laboratories and making both morning and afternoon divisions In all the more popular courses. By this means 'the congestion In the class room, caused by the fact that the students who could secure only afternoon laboratories must take their work In the morning; Is obviated and the opportunities for better laboratory work are thougth to have been increased by the smaller number who will be working at one time.

It also leaves room for great expansion of the botanical, chemical and physical departments where congestion was beginning to be felt, without the securing of more room. Many are the interesting things to be observed by one who looks at tho statistics of resignation week. Ono thing of Interest is the slowness with which reglBtraton sometimes come In. Many students do not register until the middle of tho semester and registration lute as New Year are not uncommon. These ar In larjre part due to the teachers of the state who are taking correspondence courses and who have no hurry to register thoin until the tlme for getting credit comes around.

In the-year 1908, the lattef registrations came In the following manner, larger days being given. October 7, 17; 13, 20; 17. 23; 29, 19; November 14, 34; December 7, 26; January 2S, 18. The totals on the first and Inst of the above dates were 2028 and 2182 an increase of 154 and this, coining after the registration is in the minds of th0 students supposed to be over. A Constant Growth To gain an Idea of the relative registration of the various years.

It jnav be well to go far In advance of the figures at the week end. and take the registrations of November 1 of eacn of the past few years, In 190 they were 1942. In 1907 the total had reached 19C0, while 1908 sees a Jump of 130 to 2090. The prophesy la made by Registrar Harrison that the totals for this date for 1909 will be at least 22fi0. An examination of the attendance since the foundation of the school may jtlve som Idea of the enormous growth the university has been forced to take care of in the last few years.

The treat Increase In two years is' not to be 'attributed to an Increase In numbers of the incoming freshman class, but is due In large part -to the fact that under the old system of registration the office could not handle aa many as It can now and many were forced to register as lute a Tuesday of the ensuing week because of the congestion at the registering desk. Five hundred students In one day, Wednesday's record, Is by far the largest number ever handled at the. University of Nebraska. There was, however, little crowding.

The picture which accompanies this article, taken at the height of the crowd when in previous years the halls and offices would have been packed, show the ease with which the crowds were handled. No crowding, little waiting and an absence of all hurry were the features which made the process of registration this year far from being the task -which it has been in the past Where, four years before, the freshman sat In a long line of chairs reaching down the walks from the main buildings, and was lucky If his wait was ended In five or six hours, now with the Improved system and better facilities, he was unlucky who did not compleru, the entire process of affiliation with the university in two hours. Harrison's System. To Rwgistrar Harrison must be given the, credit for the easy handling of crowds. He is the originator of the sysium of advisory boards which has handled the crowd of 1909 so well.

Part of the school, the industrial college, was called upon as a scapegoat for the gse of this system at the second semeter last year and It worked so well, that the registrar determined this i year i should see It a permanent feature of. the system. Briefly It consists In keeping a close check on all freshiaea and so distributing the work of arranging their studies that they may be sent to the office In a steady stream and not In bunches as in the past. The freshman was required to go to- the dean's office. In the first where his credits were examined and evaluated and his standing In entrance to the school determined.

Then he went to the west end of Memorial hall where he received a ticket which entitled him to register at a certain time. Seventy tickets were give r.eaf a hour. Armed with this he entered the armory where he consulted his advisor, who had been alloted to him after the evaluation of his credits' had been The advisor helped the freshman In the preparation of his courst and sent him on to the dean of his college, who vised the course. The card was then given to the committee on adjustment, which alloted the freshman to classes which had a smaller number than others, thus keeping the size of each class nearly equal and making the classes easier to handle, Then the course card was taken to the registrar's office, where It was copied and filed, the dues paid by the matriculant and he became a full fledd student of the university. The same course was observed by the GIVE ALL YOU CAN to; m.

The chief of the Fremont fire department has Instituted a new plan of fighting flret which he calls the "silent alarm system," and In the first week of Its trial has saved the city 175.

In the chancellorshlps of George McLean and Chancellor Canfleld the school took that first great bounl Which raised It above the level of tho normal and other smaller schools of the stilt and placed It on the high way towards' the becoming of a great state university. With the probable entrance, of Nebraska Into the .4.000 class, which seems to be due this year, she passes many of her former competitors and becomes one of the Ave largest state universities. Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota ar-s her only state rivals In point of slie. Of endowed schoola Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Chicago and Leland-Stanford are the only schools which can compete with Nebraska in this regard. Such are the records which the comparative registrations of the colleges of the country show, Regents Careful The astonishing growth of the schoil must be laid to two factors, one thj prosperity of the state, two, the care which the regents have observed to us0 the limited means placed at their dlspmtil by rather parsimonious legislatures, In the upbuilding of the school where the least money will bring the bent results.

An example may be given. For years the engineering school has been turning1 out men who have taken their place with the engineers of any technical school In the country. The department hsi received Insufficient aid and has bow handicapped bv Inadequate facilities. This has been recognised but the re-rents have permitted things to go aa they were while the school was holding He own. Within the last few yesrs, competition of the engineering schools of sister states has been stronger, with the result that th re: gents have given the technical students as large and finely equipped a work building ks Is to be'found st any school In the country.

The result was noticeably In this year's registration, many student with advanced standing from the neighboring states, Iowa baling the chief contributor, having entered the engineering colleire. Many freshmen bnvo entered, who tinder other circumstances, would have gono to some eastern school. Thus do the regents build up the school as well in thev csn with the limited funds at their disposal. This year's class of freshmen, it may be 'said In conclusion, seems to be an unussaily large and well- ASK FOR OUR PREMIUM TICKETS Austin, who will preach his first ser mon here Sunday.
