ROOSEVELT

He was found faithful over a few
things and he was made ruler over many;
he cut his own trail clean and straight
and millions followed him toward the
light He was frail; he made himself
tower of strength He was timid; he
made himself lion of courage. He was
a dreamer; he became one of the great
doers of all time. Men put their trust in
him; women found champion in him;
kings stood in awe of him, but children
made him their playmate, writes Hermann
Hagedorn, Jr, in the Kansas City Star.
He broke nations slumber with his cry,
and it rose up. He touched the eyes OF
vision. Souls became swords through him;
swords became servants of God. He was
loyal to his country and he exacted loyalty;
he loved many lands, but he loved his
own land best. He was terrible in battle,
but tender to the weak; joyous and tire
less, being free from self pity; clean with
a cleaness that cleansed the air like a gale.
His courtesy knew no wealth, no class;
his friendship, no creed or color or race.
His courage stood every onslaught of
savage beast and ruthless man, of loneli-
ness, of victory, of defeat. His mind was
eager, his heart was true, his body and
spirit, defiant of obstacles, ready to meet
what might come. He fought injustice
and tyranny; bore sorrow gallantly loved
all nature, bleak spaces and hardy COM
panions, hazardous adventure and the
zest of battle. Wherever he went he
carried his own pack; and in the utter
most parts of the earth he kept his con-
science for his guide.
Today, the 63rd anniversary of his
birth, we feel that every American should
read and ponder over his last message:
"There can be no divided allegiance
here. Any man who says he is an Ameri-

HALLOWEEN

Halloween is the eve of All Saints Day,
and while we today celebrate it as a fun
making holiday, it is really the survival
of religious holiday, and dates back in
its origin to pagan days. The holiday
comes down to us from an old Druid festi-
val that was celebrated on the 31st of
October. The Druids were a tribe of
people who lived in ancient days and
made their home in Northern Europe. In
October they held their Harvest festival
and the priests in their white robes met at
their sacred altars to light the new altar
fires and offer prayers that these fires
might bring them good lack throughout
the coming winter. Much shouting and
pomp accompanied this ceremony, and it
was believed that as long as the altar fires
were carefully watched and kept burning
just so long would the homes of the people
be protected from evil spirits.
With the spread of Christianity this
idea disappeared in part, and the thought
that on this night the saints gathered in
preparation for the day that would be
celebrated in their honor on the morrow
took its place. Some simple minded folk
thought that the ghosts on that night rose
from their graves and wandered about
the country side, and in order to frighten
away these unwelcome spirits the people
put on funny costumes and ugly masks.
People wandered about the streets in queer
garb to mislead any witch or goblin that
might be on its way to place an evil spell
upon them. Gradually, too, this idea gave
way to the one that is in the minds of all
people today, and that is that Halloween
is time for fun-making. But as late as
the seventeenth century farmers in the
country would go out on Halloween and
go over their estates swinging lanterns
and burning torches and chanting weird
songs to frighten off the witches and
ghosts and to protect their lands from an
evil spell during the winter.

can, but something else also, isn't an
American at all. We have room for but
one flag, the American flag, and this ex-
cludes the red flag, which symbolizes all
wars against liberty and civilization, just
as much as it excludes any foreign flag of
nation to which we are hostile. We
have room for but one language here, and
that is the English language, for we in
tend to see that the crucible turns our
people out> as Americans, of American
nationality, and not as dwellers in a poly
glot boarding house; and we have room
for but one soul loyalty to the American
people"

There was quite contrast between these

EYES THAT DON'TlSEE

Few of us realize that in seeing the eyes
play only secondary part. Actually it is
the mind that sees through the medium of
the eyes. What we see is not necessarily
that upon which our eyes are fixed, but
that to which we turn our attention. Two
persons of equal power of vision may look
at the same things yet each see wholly
different scene. If sailor and an artist
were to watch the shipping at Dover, the
vessels and their characteristics would
figure largely in the mind of the one,
while the other would see harmonies,
color effects and general impression of
which ships and boats would be only
part. We see, broadly, the things we
look for. Often, indeed, when we are
deep in thought we see nothing of what
lies before us, though our eyes are wide
open. And until we have cultivated our
power of observation, learned the art of
seeing, we must always be oblivious to
the greater part of what is going on be-
fore our eyes. The power of sight is
largely a matter of will. Thus when
many semi-blind persons have been, put
into the hypnotic state and "ordered" to
see, they have completely recovered the
power of sight. Actually, though they
never knew it, only some oblique trick of
the mind had hitherto prevented them
from enjoying perfect vision.-Ex.

CHAUTAUOUA CIRCLE

A regular meeting of the Pierian Chau-
tauqua Circle was held in the school room,
Sunday afternoon, October 23rd; Pres
w. J. McC. officiating. Attendance eleven,
absent two, released from the institution
one.
Usually newly elected members are ad-
mitted two weeks following their election,
but, through an oversight, and the con-
fusion caused by the giving of quarterly
meeting, no new members have been
seated so far this season. A motion to
dissolve the temporary Membership COM
mittee, appointed Sept. 23rd was carried
and a permanent committee was ap-
pointed, by the Chair, in accordance with
the Circles bylaws. Eight more names
were submitted to add to those already
in, referred to the Membership committee,
and will be presented to the Deputy for
official approval, in time for admittance
to the Nov. 9th meeting.
Following the reading and approval of
the minutes of the Sept. 23rd and Oct.
9Th meetings, Pres. McC. gave very in
teresting address to the members setting
forth in perspicuous terms the adyisability
of cultivating inherent talents and max
ing the most of the opportunities the Cir
Gle offers. His earnest manner of ad-
dress, picturesquely illustrated by familiar
comparisons, his serious appeal to have
each member consider the circles work as
postgraduate course, awakened desire
to develop latent powers, to seek for more
masterful attainments.
1t was decided, by discussion, not to
restrict the subjects on which papers were
to be prepared, but for members to choose
their own topics and make announcement
Of the theme week or two before presen-
tation so that other members would have
an opportunity to become conversant with
the subject and be able to discuss it profit
ably. Two papers were promised for the
next meeting and FIVE others for four
weeks hence, or when time permits of
their reading.
A vote of thanks was unanimously given
to Prof. r. J. Reichkitzer and his musical
aggregation for the splendid concert given
as Chautauqua Quarterly on Oct. 9th.
The Circle recently received gift of
ten complete sets-forty volumes-of the
1921-1922 Chautauqua Home Reading
Course as prescribed by the Chautauqua
Literary and Scientific Circle, Chautauqua
Institute, Chautauqua, N. Y. While the
nature of our organization is such that
we cannot strictly adhere to the plan of
study as outlined, especially the divisions
into monthly allotments, these books are a
priced possession of the Circle and will be
diligently perused by the members. The
secretary was instructed to advise the
Chautauqua Alumni Association, through
their secretary, Miss Ida B. Cole, of the
Circles appreciation of the books and
their generosity in furnishing them. Each
book was numbered and iettered by MIR.
c. H. S. to harmonize with the Circles
numerical symbols, and put into circula-
ton. Mr.. S. was given a vote of thanks
for his skillful rapid work in getting these
books ready so promptly.
Two papers were read on the subject
assigned for essays and debate-"Why
