SENIOR RECEPTION

Last Friday night the Senior
Glass held a reception at the home
OF President Frost for the students
and Faculty of the College Depart
ment. President Frost, Dean and
Mrs. Rumold and Mack Morgan,
president Of the Senior Glass, were
in the receiving line. The mem
bers of the Senior Class acted as
ushers. Something like an hour
was taken before all had passed the
receiving line. Delightful refresh
ments Of punch and cake were
served.
Berea is noted for its wide and
wholesome social life. However,
the Senior Glass felt that most Of
our social affairs are informal and
that our students do not get enough
of formal social usages, so they
planned this formal reception, both
as a pleasurable event and an edu-
cational one as we'll.

LETTER FROM GEORGE GRAIBE

President Frost received an in

Graibe. a young Syrian man, who
has been a student in the Founda-l
ton Department of Berea College.
George is happy in his work OF
craftsmanship in Middlesboro. Ky.
His letter tells clearly that Christ
is his partner.
Mr.. Graibe, leaving Berea this
winter, wrote a letter TO his many
friends and fellow students here at
Berea which was full OF the express
sion of his appreciation for the gifts
which they gave him TO send TO his
family who live near Damascus and
the Sea Of Galilee. Georges father
has returned from the war but still
the family, like all their neighbors,
are hungry and in need. We be-
lieve George will carry out his good
intention 10 go back as a missionary

MANNERS IN THE DINING ROOM

Good manners are to be much de-
sired and the possessOrs Of them
should now and then be given word
of commentator. We are indeed
proud Of the courtesy and good
breeding shown in our Academy
dining room.
Never a harsh nor boisterous laugh
jars the sensitive nerves Of the
diners. Never an impolite word
nor act mars the harmony that
reigns supreme. II is needless to say,
no one ever thinks OF throwing
water on his neighbor and any pug
nacious fellow who dares TO use his
food as munitions Of war is forever
disgraced. The conversations, as
naturally would be expected Of such
an energetic but also intelligent
crowd Of young people is often live
ly and animated. fairly sparkling
with wit. but the coarse or nom
sensical is at all times frowned up
on. Any one passing thru the room
is greeted here and there with a
pleasant word and smile, there be-
ing a total absence Of such unman-
nerly demonstrations as stamping
OF feet. whistling. and sarcastic re-
marks. In a word, an atmosphere
OF culture, good fellowship and good
cheer prevades the room.
May we ever retain these traits Of
which we are so justly proud May
unseemingly mannerisms
be forever as they are now-barred
from the Academy dining room.
The first car TO be given a place
on the San Diego Exposition's motor

ADDRESS BY DR.. McBRIEN
The First Essential Requisite for
the Successful Teacher is
Good Character

Character and proper conduct,
and now scholarship is an essential
qualification for a teacher. How
would you like 10 have a sister or
brother taught by teacher who, on
examination was asked 10 describe
the brain in this all-important sub
ject Of Physiology and Hygiene. and
this particular applicant TO whom !
refer seriously wrote out. The
brain is a soft substance situated
on the top Of the head and projected
by the hair" II that were the case,
am afraid that some Of our brains
would not be very we'll protected.

and work to prepare the state ex-
animation for an entire state for

a teachers qualifications. The

Of a teacher: MAKE a drawing
based upon sphere" Well. she
drew sphere. and she did her best,
but last Of all she carefully placed
the picture of a little rabbit upon
the sphere. She had literally made
a drawing based upon a sphere.
I also like TO have the teacher
keep abreast with the current
events. II was in 1903 and the
question. What is going on at st.
Louise was asked the applicants
This was the answer made by one
of them: They are going TO try TO
prove the airship problem at st
Louis, but don't believe they will"
You know the result Of the airship
problem. That is what makes Lon
don tremble. Well. she also said.
"There is the horse race about
which ! know little and care less"
She stated her views on the race
problem.

HOW TO SET A FRUIT TREE
By Cecil Mcclure

~ requires n great zeal OF Sklll 10
properly set fruit tree and insure
/, 10 grow well.
Simply digging a hole in the
ground and tamping the dirt
around the newly set tree is not
Sufficient.
Before planting an orchard sew
eral things should he considered,
namely: the topography Of the land,
the fertility Of the soil, the charac-
teristics Of the varieties which the
individual grower has conceived to
he his preference 10 grow, and the
distance apart the trees should be
planted.
Preceding the digging Of the holes
for the trees IL is a good plan to
pillow two or three burrows as
deeply as possible along the line the
trees are TO be planted so that the
amount Of work will be reduced
which must be done with the spade
at the places where the trees are
to he planted.
In planting a tree the hole should
be broad enough To allow the roots
To be placed in their natural posi-
tion without bending or crowding,
and deep enough TO admit the roots
TO depth Of two or three inches
more in the ground than they were
in the nursery.
The distance apart for planting an
orchard varies. Common distances
are: for peaches about eighteen or
twenty feet. and for apples, about
thirty feet each way.
IN some cases dynamite may be
used very probably in planting a
tree. For instance when the sub
soil is very hard or there is a hard
pan just underneath the topsoil.
The dynamite breaks up the hard
pan and loosens the soil all around.
thereby giving IL a greater power
for holding water.
In preparing a tree for planting.
all parts which have been bruised
or mutilated in digging the tree
should be removed with a sharp
knife. and all long slender roots
should he trimmed 10 correspond
with the general root system.
IT the tree is small. the branches
should all be removed before plant
ing, leaving single unbranched
stem This stem may be cut back
To the height the tree is desired To
have a top begin 10 grow.
The extremes both ways as to the
height Of tree are between eigh-
teen and thirty inches.
IT, however, larger grade is
planted the top should not be cut so
closely.
After the above preparations have
been made several precautions
should be observed in planting the
tree.
After the tree is properly set In
the hole only finely pulverized soil
should he used. II is very import
ant To work the soil in closely
around the roots. This may he done
with the fingers. Also moving the
tree up and down helps 10 eradi-
cate air spaces about the roots by
settling the soil about them. As
the filling progresses the soil should
be tamped firmly about the roots o.
the tree with the feet or a plunger
so il will be made compact, and the
soil should he left level with the top
of the ground around the tree.
