TWO FACULTYITES
SPOKE THURSDAY

The students were given much
pleasure in chapel Thursday morning
by Miss Helen M. Crane who read the
interesting story entitled Matches"
a story found in "The Atlantic" This
story was written by Viola l. Paradise
who, in the mind Of this writer, very
wildly impresses one with the SER
iousness of careless acts. We were in
troduced to three characters of i'm
portance as they rode out upon the
plains in stage-coach; first, to
Frances and Louise, friends, who were
on their way to a shack on a claim
and second, to DR.. Calhoun whose
timely aid ten days later saved the
girls from death.
Upon their arrival at the shack the
girls could not find the box of matches
which they knew they had bought but
instead they found large box of soap
which they had never purchased. Sud-
denly Frances awoke to the realiza-
ton of the fact that before leaving
the store lady had bought some soap
and that in her hurry she must have
taken the matches and that the grocer
had placed the soap among their pur-
chases. This she did not make known
to her friend until they despaired Of
life. Then they wrote farewell letters
and went to bed, where locked in each
others arms they awaited death. The
doctor, who had become very uneasy
because the women were strangers in
that territory, went to their shac k and
found them fast approaching death.
After hours of the most faithful work
he succeeded in reviving them and in
conclusion we were left to imagine a
pretty romance with Frances and Dr.
Calhoun as participants.
After this Mr.. Spalding gave a brief
discussion of the work of the Red
Cross. He said that the society is
often spoken of as "The Little Moth
er of the World" and as 'The Worlds
Fire Department. An explanation
of the Red Cross is not necessary
The two titles given above would
alone tell us all we need to know. Mr..
Spalding impressed US with the i'm
portance of peace activities such as
the prevention of i'll health, the laying
of foundation for better health, and
aiding in devastated areas. To
bring us to the realization of the
needs of the Red Cross society he told
US of the work of the county nurse of
Barnes county and how, if we would
become members, half of the men,
berhip fee would be used within the
county and the other half would be
used for the general work of the Red
Cross He created within us a desire
to "do our bit" and at the end of the
period a considerable number of stu
dents pledged themselves to become
members, E. J.

INITIATION NIGHT
HELDBYY. W. A.

A very impressive and beautiful
recognition service for the new men,
bers, in which more than one hundred
girls took part, was held Thursday
night in the Commercial Room. Upon
arriving each girl was given a candle,
and when the first strains of "Onward
Christian Soldiers" were sounded the
girls formed in couples and marched
into the place of meeting at the door
way of which was an arch formed by
six of the old members holding strips
of white crepe paper. After passing
beneath the arch the couples divided
and each girl passed to her place. The
hymn "Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly
Dove was then sung and was follow
ed by an address of welcome by the
president, Miss Annie McCradie. In
speaking of the purpose of the asso-
citation, she told the following beauti-
full story called "The Abbess of the
Glowing Light"

PRESIDENT ALLEN
SPOKE AT MEETING

The members OF the department of
Higher and Professional Education
during the meeting of the State
Teachers Association in Fargo last
week were addressed on Tuesday by
President G. E. Allen. He has re-
luctantly granted US the privilege of
printing the paper which was read by
him at that time. We are glad to give
it space.
The subject which has just been an
nounced by our chairman, The Nat
ural Sciences and the Intellectual
Sciences in Education and in Current
Thinking, is much more pretentious
than this paper will merit as it's title
After listening to what / have to say
you will agree that the performance is
far below the promise implied in the
subject as it appears on the printed
program. l come before you having
had little classical training with ex-
perience as a teacher of the classics:
followed in more recent years by ad-
ministrative experience in an institu-
ton where a diploma may be secured
without any foreign language study
whatever, and where student cross
ing the campus with Greek textbook
is as rare bird as baseball fan at
tending league game with Bible
under his arm! l shall give briefly
some indications of the trend in mod
ern education touching the humanities
and the sciences, with some sugges-
tons as to what l think our attitude
toward these subjects should be.
A year ago last May, at Washing
ton, D. c., listened to an address by
Sir Auckland Geddes on "Recent
Changes in British Education" in
which he said: "Education with US is
tending to become less and less di-
rected toward the conscious end of
simply fitting man to earn his daily
bread. Man does not live for or by
bread alone. If he does he is hardly
worth keeping alive. * IS He is a
human personality with something
more than pair of hands condemned
to toll at will of another. He has in
tellectual and aesthetic taste and
moral prinsiples. s. s. =: Every citizen
regardless of his social position or
wealth, has claims which are prior to
all economic claims on hin-claims Of
opportunities to enable him to fulfill
his manifold responsibilities as a
member of widening social groups
from the family to the community
i: IS In short, the aim Of education
in Britain cannot be vocational-it
must be nothing less than a prepare
ton for the whole Of life"
The English Ministry of Recon
struction in document entitled "The
Classics in British Education makes
a plea for non-utilitarian instruction
for the purpose of retaining the ideals
reached during the war and securing
a wider intellectual outlook, and urges
that the Greek and Latin classics
should not be permitted to lose the
large place they hold in the schools
and universities.
On September 10, 1915, the French
Minister of Education officially de-
,lared that the restoration of human
SIN in Europe was of more vital i'm
oortance than the restoration Of

no one-and then the vision came
"Oh, yes, a vision came to her, Ma
demoiselle. It was in the evening
just at candle lighting time when the
bells of the convent were ringing for
vespers. And this is the most wonder
full of all. For it seemed to the maid
en- that she stood alone in vast dark
hall, where only the wind blew and
shadowy things brushed past her. And
as she grasped about terror-stricken

light of a candle glowing at first DIM

came wind that blew the radiant
flame far abroad, and the maiden saw
it dart hither and thither, resting upon

"The bitterness had passed, for she
knew the fairest light-the light of
Heaven-was hers always; that with

Love.
"Years passed, Mademoiselle;
years of blessing to the village, for
the blind maiden went ever among the
poor, healing the sick and comforting
the distressed. At length thru her
good deeds she came to be the Abbess
of the little convent that lies in the
ruins there. And so beloved was she
by the people that her fame spread
far abroad and the sweet light of hen
holiness kindled other lights turnout

this beautiful ceremony was taking

assembly of girls listened to a violir

JOURNALIST, DEAD
For Many Years State Editor OF
The Baltimore News.--End
Came Suddenly

1t was with the deepest regret that
we read of the death of Mr.. Edwarf
Thomas Tubbs, for many years State
Editor of the Baltimore News. His
death occurred on Thursday of last
week after an illness of only two
days, he having been at his desk il
the News office the Tuesday proceed
ing his demise.
Mr.. Tubbs was one of the best
known newspaper men in the State
having been in that business all ol
his life. No man was better inform
ed on State affairs than he and HI
had way of his own in putting the
facts before the readers of his paper
so as to win their approval. We have
the most pleasant recollections Of
him when the two Of us landed ii
Baltimore together and on the same
paper, the old Morning Herald. ant
tried to make living. The friend
ship then formed has continued these
many years only to grow stronger al
the anniversaries arrived. We griey'
at his passing and hope for him tb'
best things to be found on the othel
side.

Electricians Are Still
Working On Bridge

The electricians are working away
en- installing the electrical fixtures for
the new Pocomoke River bridge.
To be sure there is considerable
work of this kind to be done and it
will be some days before they COM
plete the job. Aside from laying the
large cable and putting in the motors
they have also to place on the bridge
the many lights that are to ornament
the structure and at the same time
furnish light for the same. There are
several of these to be installed on
either side of the bridge and when
they are placed in position and the
juice turned on the scene will be one
of real beauty.
This week the grounds surrounding
the bridge nthis side of the river
has been cleaned up ana now one has
IN idea of what the structure will
really look like. Many persons are
seen daily taking in the sight and all
are more than pleased with the ap-
pearance of things generally.

John WardlUeLL's
Condition Improving

We are glad to report that the con-
6ition of John Wardwell, who last
week was run down by an automobile
and received serious injuries, is inl-
proving as the days come and go.
The accident, it will be remembered,
occurred on Second street in this city
on Monday of last week and that i'll
the mixup John suffered compound
fracture of the right leg just above
The ankle joint and was otherwise
bruised. He was taken to the PENN
sula General Hospital in Salisbury
where he has since been under treat
ment. On Tuesday last the limb was
reset and from latest accounts he is
resting as comfortably as could be
expected under the circumstances.
The report that his leg would have to
be amputated was erroneous, in fact
such a thing was never thought of
AS matters now stand he will be COM
PEELED to have some weeks of hospital
experience but it is expected that
when he is discharged from that in
stitution he will be in good shape and
very soon thereafter will be able to
ursue his usual business activities.
