SOCIAL EVENTS

we are getting ready also TO meet
the sfter-war period.
Military drill teaches obedience,
a thing most needed in the Ameri-
can concept Of living. Military drill
teaches precision. 1t teaches rapid
coordination, Il brings to the mind
an alertness and a response to
stimulus that has an immediate and
lasting effect. 1t brings to the body
stimulation. Girls who have been
indoors all day are made new by
the invigorating exercise in the out
of-door. Finally, it brings a sense
Of enlarged relation with people.
1t destroys the false barriers of
social relation-it paves the way
for the real feeling Of democracy
that is so much our ideal today. 1t
makes for impersonal and for COM
munity thought, and the three cities
can look forward to a future OF en-
larged community interests because
its girls and women are working
together under the common law of
obedience for the perfection OF us
stav-at-horne army of women.
Military drill is fulfilling the
dream OF many girls. One older
woman said, will you tell me how
il came to be? I have dreamed OF
it for many years and lately !
have thought of it so much-and
suddenly one night l saw in the
paper that 1t was to be. Tell me
how II started" And she is only
re of many to whom it means re
.reatfon in its real sense.

WORD HAS VARIED MEANING
Term "oarden," 40 Used Today, caps.
bic Of Some Of the Most Elastic
Definitions.

We speak 80 freely and often OF a
garden" assuming that there Is some
well-defned common use OF that word
even among the authorities on garden
ing subjects. But the fact is that II
has reached mighty elastic limits In
their writings and speech and can be
taken 70 mean anything from the enor-
nous private parks and estates 10 the
tip can glories Of back yard.
The word garden is from the old
Anglo-Saxon root, "gyrden," meaning
an inclosure. At that time, due TO the
uncertain character Of community life.
II was either inclosed within fortlfica-
tions or left unps )tected and exposed
without. This private inclosed land
was the garden OF that time. That Is
the meaning Of garden In the Song Of
Solomon.
Gradually the sense OF the word has
changed TO cover those parts Of the
land devoted TO the cultivation OF
plants either for pleasure or for use |;
thus. we have the vegetable or fruit
garden, and on the other hand. the
wall, water or rose garden. etc.
Liberty Hyde Bailey defines a gar
den as 'the personal part Of an estate,
that area which is most intimately as
sociated with the private life Of the
home"
Whatever the sense in which II is
used, the word garden" always sue
ceeds In carrying with II an atmos-
phere OF romance and beauty. which
countless ages Of use cannot dim
