WHY OWN A HOME?

The theory of investment as commonly applied to home own
ership is all wrong. Followed to its logical conclusion it places
home ownership on the same basis as stock gambling. At every
upturn in price the home owner would sell; rent until prices went
down and then buy again. His home, on that theory, instead of
being a safe port in every storm, would be a ship at the mercy OF
every storm. All argument for home ownership should stress per
manence and stability, not change and uncertainty, says the Am
erican Lumberman.
The doctrine that home ownership makes for good citizenship
is based ON the theory Of permanence, of continuous residence in
one place, in one home. The community idea; the organization Of
society, the basis Of civilization, is in fact permanent common in
tcrest of groups as exempi6ed in home ownership and payment of
taxes. All civic progress is founded upon civic interest, which is
made permanent by such a stake in the community as only home
ownership can give. This is a long way from placing the home on
a cash-return-on your investment basis.
In most recent arguments about home owning the cart has
been placed before the horse. A family does not buy a home to
save money it saves money to buy a home. A man does not
marry to save money, but to make a home. He does not educate
his children to save money but to make an enlightened home. He
does not labor from morning to night. day in and day out, mere
ly for money, but for the one thing that only money can buy-a
home. The chief ambition of every worthy citizen is to make a
good home for his family. Yet many have been misled into think
ing that a home is only a financial investment-that it belongs in
the same category with stocks and bonds. Money paid for a home
is a good Investment for the family that otherwise would have no
home not because it is cheaper than paying rent, but because right
living in America requires home ownership.

AID THE SUFFERING IRISH

For a long time a large part Of Ireland has been in revolt
against the government of Great Britain. Actual warfare has pre-
vailed, resulting in bloodshed, loss OF property and acute suffer
ing.
The American people have opened their hearts and their pock-
ebooks and have helped to succor the victims of war and other
calamites in many lands. Now comes a call for relief for the dis
tressed people Of Ireland and it should bring out a generous re-
Spouse.
In the clash between the British authorities and the revolters
and in the strife between factions, towns have been laid waste,
vast numbers OF people rendered homeless and reduced to poverty
1t matters not what our views on the home rule question may be
the outstanding fact now is that multitudes Of the Irish people
are in deep distress and that is all we need to know in order to be
moved to hold out helping hands to them.
What though business is not as good as it might be in this
country? What though we have given to a hundred other
causes? Conditions are UNNECESSARILY better in our country. than
they are in most other lands, and even though we have given lib
orally for the relief of other peoples, the fact is that we haven't
really hurt ourselves by giving and America, despite business re-
verses, isn't by any means broke.
Committees will call on us and offer us an opportunity to do
our abit' for the unfortunates in ireland. Let us do what we
can and do it gladly.

ORATORICAL CONTEST

The Citizen last week. This was al.
together too important an event to
be omitted entirely. AS a whole, the
orations and orators were far bet

speaker has stood far above the
others in general excellency, and it
has been a comparatively easy mat

time; it was a close contest. AL

THE STUDENTS COOPERATIVE
LEAGUE

Like the League of Nations, we
are having some opposition. Never
theless, we continue TO grow. Three
new members were voted in Sunday,
February 10. They are Taylor Har-
low, Hermon Rambeaut, and B. How
ard Kirk. We now have a member
ship of fifty-two men.
The way in which we march out Of
Chapel on Sunday nights, under
League supervision, is creditable to
any Institution. We, the members Of
the League, certainly appreciate the
cooperation Of the other fellows Of
our department in carrying out our
plans and aims.
Dean F. f. Matheny expressed our
sentiments exactly when he said: 81
think those who do not agree with the
League have found out that those
who belong to the League are not the
kind that can be easily bluffed." We
were also delighted with the report
OF Prof. John +. Smith, February 10,
who told US that an account Of the
League had been placed in the hands
Of a prominent editor Of New York
City, who in turn, states that he Is
sending the news to the other college
men Of America. "a little leaven,
leaveneth the whole lump"
The members Of the League unite
in expressing their regret that Ed
ward Roark, one Of our charter mem
bers and man Of rare ability in
fostering and promoting any good
cause, is at this time graduating from
the Academy and leaving us. May
he meet with much success in life and
us as sincere comrades.

ACADEMY GIRLS HONOR
LEAGUE

The girls Of the Academy depart
ment could not have celebrated Lin
coins birthday in more appropriate
way than they did by organizing the
Academy Girls Honor League.
Twenty-four girls, as charter mem
bers, have already signed the consti-
tuition, which was drawn up by n
committee from their number. The
constitution sets forth the principles
for which the League stands, such as:
strict observance Of the rules Of Be-
rea College, good behavior in public
gatherings, lady-like conduct on the
campus and in the dining-room and
excellent order in Chapel. The spirit
Of cooperation and helpfulness Is one
of the fundamental principles on
which the League was founded.
The members Of this League con-
Quoted the Academy chapel exercises
on Tuesday. February Is. Matte
Perry conducted the worship by
reading of the twelfth chapter Of Ro-
mans and by praying. Blanch Os-
borne enumerated the purposes Of
the League; Leah Stevens read and
explained the constitution. and made
an appeal to the girls Of the Academy
for cooperation and aid in carrying
on the good work already begun;
Mary Kate Ledbetter read the names
of the charter members.
Sam S. Hughes, president Of the
Students Cooperative League, re-
sponded for the boys. He spoke very
hopefully Of the success of the "clean-
up" League in the Academy, and as
sured the girls that the boys would
give them hearty cooperation. Dean
F. F.. Matheny said: 81 have more
faith in the present movement than
I have had in any previous student
organization formed in the twelve
years have been in Beres." Prof.
John F. Smith stated that an account
of the forming Of this Honor League
would be given to the editor Of an
important publication and perhaps
sent to the other colleges Of America.
The officers for the remainder Of
this year are as follows: Blanche
Osborn, president; Beulah Mae Lewis.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

The College has had some interest
ing discussions over student govern
ment and the honor system lately
Tuesday during chapel the faculty
excused themselves and the meeting
was thrown open to discussion Of the
question. A vote as to whether we
wanted student government or not
was almost unanimous in its favor.
Only a few were so Indifferent as not
to vote.
II student government Is put into
practice with the right spirit behind
it, It will be wonderful step in the
advancement of the College. II we
do not get it, we will slip back into
the same place as before, which was
certainly slow one. Already it has
stimulated new thought and wider
views.
The College men and women are
waking up TO the fact that we must
broaden in our activities and change
from a spirit Of inter-society rivalry
TO that Of intercollegiate. Only this
week Berea was challenged to debate
by another college, and there is not
even an organization by which to re-
fuse this challenge.
II we wish students Of the Academy
81 Nnru..1 Cohools N nnnna - Col
