"Professor Jowett was once asked"
said the secretary of war, addressing
a great meeting of the won1an's COM
mittee of the council of national de-
Tense, whether he considered it essen
tial that man should know Greek
ana LdCl1. ne Sdlu I16 utu IOt, Dul uc
considered it essential that he should
have known Greek and Latin. Gull
ture has been defined as the substance
of things we have forgotten.
I'VE are learning what American
culture is now. 1t is in no way de-
pendent on what we have been con-
sciouSly learning and doing of late. 1t
is deeply founded on all that our an
cestors have thought and suffered and
done in all our history. The spirit of
every soldier in our Revolution, of
every soldier On either side in our Civ
il war, who CALAMITY gave>up his life
for his ideals, has become a part of
the culture that is in each one of us.
I'm this war we are feeling for the
first time the strength of a back
ground of which we have scarcely
been conscious For the splendid spi-
rit of our men and women today we
have the whole history of our country
to thank. Until now we have not felt
the need of such a spirit, but when
the need comes we find it is integrally
a part of US. 1t is the substance of the
things we have forgotten."-From the
News Letter of the Woman's Commit
tee of the Council of National Defense

THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who had a most exciting experience
in one of the new towns of Oklahoma
a short time ago. She decided to, re-
main there while her husband went
on a short business trip, so they found
what looked like a very comfortable
hotel and the man left town feeling
that his wife was fortunate in being
able to obtain such pleasant room on
short notice. About midnight she was
awakened by heavy knocking on her
door and orders to get and dress as
the hotel was being "raided." After
the most convincing argument she
ever tried to make, she was permitted
to spend the remainder of the night
sitting in the railway station.
