piseasssd Amussments.

Recently the young men of Ply
mouth Congregational church met and
discussed the Individual and social
phases of such problems as dancing,
card playing and the theatre. Several
papers were given on the questions aft
er which a discussion followed. The
OF opinion resulting was thai
these things have in them the pos-
sibilities Of wholesome uplifting amuse-
ment If well regulated and directed.
On the other hand the opposite is true
if left for commercial profit, such as
our present public dance hall system.
Dean Brown of Fargo college closed
the discussion. with a broad compre-
hensive talk, the individual, and then
the social aspects of the problems.

sailors sense OF the term, without
running into Narragansett bay. The
favorite derivation at present is moEa
simple. One of the leading settlers ~
Newport was a man named Rhodes,
and the island was probably named
after him, perhaps in jest, perhaps 81
compliment. The original order hxirg
the island of Newport, dated 1914, de4
creed that the name should be "Th4
Isle of Rhodes, or Rhode Island" The
same appellation was afterward ars
piled to the state, of which Newpoif
was a part. Il
Connecticut, a name so battling To
foreigners, is Indian, and means land
on a long tidal river The Indian
form of 1t is ouin-neh- tukquet. III
some of the early records Il is spelled
Quinetuckquet. The most curious
thing about the name Of Pennsylvania
is that 1t was not derived from tire
founder of the state, William Penn.
1t is william Penn himself who re-
cords the fact:
This day CJan. 5, 1881, my coun2
try was confirmed to me by the name
of Pennsylvania, a name which tlrs
king (Charles H., would give II in
honor Of my father" Penn wished 10
call the region New Wales, but tile
king persisted in naming It after Adj
miral Penn, then a man Of far great.
err renown than his son, the Quaker,
whose effigy surmounts the city haii
