"Iven" Makes Some Suggestions and
Names Several Subjects.
Dear H. L. c. Friends-I come before
you friends with a light heart and am
truly pleased to note the rising interest
that is being manifested, and hope the
future may prove what 1 have some
times dreamed Of This week our lad"
was squeezed down 10 one small corner,
while on the other hand we had two
beautiful stories, which feature 1 hope
NAV increase, for there Is no better way
to bring out and impress the principal
which we desire to illustrate than by re-
lating some short story.
And will express myself highly in
favor of this turn and hope it Will con-
tinue. and will promise you short story
may try it again.
I feel that any Of us can do something
for our club if we only think so. I have
been asked by our president to keep a
general watch or supervision over the
page. make suggestions. offer questions
for debate and do whatever | thought
hest. Therefore | offer the following for
discussion:
]. Does the mind think?
3 What is true charity?
3. should we have laws prohibiting
the manufacture and sale of ardent Ii
Quors?
4. Can morals have evolution for their
basis?
;. Should the child be under the di-
rect supervision and instruction of the
state rather than the home?
6. That society in general is greatly
in need Of moral REFORM
On the following subjects I solicit es-
says or articles setting forth your very
best ideas:
1. BY what methods can the teacher
best obtain and retain the attentions OF
the average scholar?
?. In what sphere can young man
best develop his entire manhood, politics
or literature?
s. In what way can we best promote
club interest and increase our number?
T. What proof is there to the author
ship and preservation Of the bible?
l do not offer these subjects because
have any special idea of them, but l de-
sire TO awaken an interest among our
membership: neither are you restricted
to these subjects only, but thought per
haps they might create in some an IN
terest and thus start the ball rolling.
/ will also ask you to give your best
definition OF life and it's aim.
I feel we have done much good and are
RAPIDLY increasing but there is infinitely
much vet to do. and if we are not con-
stantly at work doing our utmost to ac-
complsh our work we soon find it piling
upon us till IL Is soon impossible TO take
hold of the work for there is nowhere
to commence.
Irish Girl" would like to have your
correct address. for ] would like to write
you II you intend TO be in school at Dan
VILE in the spring. for 1 will go out the
1st of April and would like to see you if
II is so I can.

Suppose Florence N would have

time you were at Muncie. but suppose
