Women s College Notes
BY RUTH ANNE RUSSELL

The college had no high school
girls as guests over the past week
end. on the coming Friday the
girls from Seibyville and Frankford
will be the guests OF the college.
These girls are coming on Friday
SO that they may attend the opera.
Miss Bob White.
The girls attended more than the
usual number Of dances over the past
week end. the formal dance given
by the Kappa Alpha Fraternity on
Friday evening. the informal dance
given by the Sigma M Fraternity
on Saturday evening. and the party
al the Kappa Alpha House on Sat
urday evening. There were many
guests who were visiting the college
girls TO attend these dances.
The few girls who remained 81
college on Saturday evening amused
themselves by dancing with each
other and by charade party. The
Y. W. c. A. sold ice cream after the
party. Never did ice cream disap-
pear so quickly. After their fun the
girls had large appetites and sat
isfed them with ice cream.
The Y. W. c. A. vesper service on
sunday evening was very interesting.
Mr.. L. B. Wolf. a returned missionary,
was the speaker The representa-
tives OF the Women's College met
him al the conference at Blue Ridge
College. Mr. Wolf has spent twenty
hvc years Of his life in India. Mr.
Wolf said that many people had the
idea that India is a place where the
natives are half savage and have to
be civilized as well as christianized.
This is very wrong impression.
The Hlndus have a very old and
very highly developed civilization.
Their civilization is different from
our civilization but in their own
way they are a cultured people. Our
architecture on the whole cannot
compare wit htheirs; theirs Is truly
artistic. We have developed no
such great philosophers as have the
Hindus as represented by Tagore.
Their philosophers are fine indeed,
but they have done nothing for the
womanhood OF India. Less than one
per cent. Of the women OF the very
highest class are educated The
Hindus consider women TO be Gre
ated for the slave OF men and can
see no use Of educating her. The
missionaries are trying TO help the
women In this work women mis-
sionaries are needed, for a foreigner
is not permitted 10 enter into the
inner court OF the home where the
women live. The missionaries keep
In touch with the girls after they
leave the schools and go TO their
husbands homes. Because OF the
Institution OF child marriage in
India, these girls are all married
when they come TO school. The
Hindus are a contemplative people.
There are several men in India
do nothing but think about
They are FED and clothed by ,hr
gifts OF the people who think 81
worth while 20 have wise men thinl
about God and tell them Hil
thoughts. Because Of this contem
piaiive attitude. in the future lndi.
VIII surely make a great contribu
ton 10 the world. The worker,
most needed IN India al present ar,
the medical missionaries. The way
to reach their souls Is through the
body. For the future good Of the
world. India must be made a Chris
tan nation.
