of the subject: "Student Reading. "

either the daily paper or some
good weekly review of current
events and at least one good

habit of reading, and insisted that
the young women. since they are
now also prospective voters, must
form habit of more general news
reading than in the past.

the teams.

turning-up of mouth corners, as
events were moving so rapidly to-
ward the remedying of all four
of these bad situations. The Rev.
DIR. Swift of Ell Paso followed with
a brief" of Mr.. Gardeners talk.
Many, he said, work for the praise
they receive, and many others for
pay; but he suggested that the
best thing of all was to work for
mankind, for praise and a reason
able pay would go with that,
