rooms may be thrown together, thus
providing a splendid assembly room
for community gatherings. This is
only one of the many advantages OF
these uptodate schools in the open

The young people had done a great
amount Of work in arranging for this
part of the rally and they had also
been helped in material way by the
older members of the church.
A considerable number attended the
evening meeting in the city hall. Dr.
White addressed the audience upon
the great opportunities before the
young people today and the consequent
responsibility. He also here gave
many of his humorous anecdotes and
stories. In the part Of his address
where he dealt on the need of enthus'
iasm he told the audience that ne
would give them a new word for it,
"Spizirinctum" A fashionable lady
left her children to nurse, dressed
and decorated her poodle dog and
went down town to do some shopping.
At one of the department stores where
dogs were not admitted she left the
dog outside. Some boys noticed it
and determined to have some fun
They provided themselves with some
"high life'' and doctored the dog up
thoroughly. In little while the dog
began to feel the crawling sensations
and scratched, bit himself, jumped and
acted up in a lively and unusual man
ner. This attracted a large crowd OF
spectators who enjoyed the consterna
ton of the lady as we'll as the antics
of the dog. This, DR.. White claimed
is in a manner what would happen in
Valley City if the young people woulo
get "Spizirinctum." There would be
stir. People would stop and take no
tice.
According to the statement of DR.
White to Rev. Barnhart, the local sup
erintendent, the reception at Valley
City was the best along the whole triI
out west.

| Some "Spiiziiriinctum' .

Although DR.. Whites visit was a
splendid success we can see where
about 100 more people of the city
could have taken advantage Of the eve.
ming meeting in the city hail Dr.
White spoke to the Normalonians dur
ing their chapel period on the higher
manhood and womanhood. placing the
emphasis on high ideal and a firm
determination to reach it. Many young
people today are simply driftwoid
Preference is given in all employments
to men and women who are aiming at
something worthy, even though their
present attainments may be smaller
The speaker hoped that the students
would forget some Of the problems
in geometry, but he assured them that
they would never forget the influence
of their faculty. They will stand be-
fore them as ideals all through life
He closed with the story of the win
ming Of his wife, illustrating the value
of perseverance. This story was
greatly appreciated by the students
and faculty. Prof. Wemett in a few
remarks stated his belief that three
fourths of the audience would appre
ciate similar persistence.
At the high school DR.. White capt.
waited the student body with many OF
his stories and anecdotes, and at the
same time impressed upon them the
need of living with a high aim in life
In both these talks to the students DR.
White placed the supreme emphasis
on life inspired by saving faith in
Jesus Christ.
The conference in the Baptist
church in the afternoon was in the
form of questions and answers. In his
able and masterful way he answered
such questions as the following: How
can the group plan of young peoples
programs be made more successful:
Why have an associate membership
in the B. Y. P. u? How to get up In
teresting programs, the relation of the
old people to the society, how to have
successful socials, the young peoples
relation to the movies, etc.
After a short social half hour the
visitors were invited to banquet in
