The announcement that there is to
be no displacement of the diplomatic
representative of the United States
in European countries, other than
those where such changes were nee
essary is welcome news. The min
listers resident in Denmark, Sweden,
and other countries have risen by
promotion for merit to their present
positions, and such a decision by the
American President is a recognition
of the principle that diplomatic serv-
ice is not necessarily political in
its character. Experience certainly
counts much in such service and
should be rewarded.

The Treasurer complained that so
many Of our members do not pay the
Annual Dues Of sl.0O, and explained
how the work Of the Association is
hampered by lack Of funds. Notices,
reports, postage, and correspondence
with as large membership as we
have at present require the prompt
payment of the annual dues.
II was decided TO publish an
alumni Hand Book" to contain our
Constitution and Bylaws and the
name, address, and occupation Of
every member of our Association.
1t was thought best to first publish
the names and addresses in The Citi-
zen so as to obtain as many correc.
tions as possible before printing
them in the Handbook and mailing
them out to the members of the AS
sociation. Won't you please scan
this list carefully as il appears from
week to week and advise us of any
inaccuracies?
The plan Of organizing Group.
Associations" in various parts of the
country where there are considerable
numbers Of members and other for
mer students is now well under way,
and probably within the next year
number of new ones will be started.
II you were here, come again next
June. II you did not come, by all
means don't miss our meeting in
1922.

layed by being forwarded to me.
The first year after | left Berea, |

Townsville, Ga. From there |
went to Cincinnati to the Missionary
Training School for two years. Tho
next three years were spent in work
in the Kentucky mountains. Two
years of this time | was in the home
Of Prof. f. F. Dizney Due TO sick
ness and deaths in our family | have
been teaching in high school near
home for the last four years.
As to my present work, ! am pre-
pairing to sail for China, in about
two months, as a missionary teacher.
The only thing am married to is
the Church: and because I have no
children, do not think you should
send some by parcel post, for my
brother has one here that keeps us
all busy

REPORT OF THE ANNUAL BUsI-
NESS MEETING


Those who did not get here
missed the best meeting we have
ever had" "The most enthusiastic
meeting yet" and Mighty glad |
came" were some of the remarks sf
ter it was over. II you were here,
you know it is no exaggeration. II
you were not here begin right now
to plan to come next year.
The report of the Alumni Endow.
ment Fund Committee was read by
Miss f. X. Corwin. and showed that
we are still long way from realiz-
ing our ambition Of 1000 paid in by
Commencement of 1922, as there has
so far been paid in only s420, and the
additional pledges made this year
when paid will bring it only to s575.
The folks who were here lifted on
their boot-straps" as hard as they
could but they need help to the tune
of s. or $40 apiece from each and
everyone of the $50 and then some
members who did not come. This is
your job-everyone of you who have
a degree from Berea College. There
is urgent need for the income from
this fund right now as some forty
or fifty College students who have
held Y. NJ. c. A. scholarships will
not receive them mex, year. Why
not "dig down" now and help COM
plete this fund?
The proposed amendments to the
Constitution were thoroly discussed,
and were approved but formal vote
was deferred until next year when
the Triennial reunion will take place.
Two additional Bylaws were sug.
gested to be voted on next year:
namely, that holders of honorary de-
grees from the College do not there.
by become members of our Associa.
ton and that a Committee on FL
nance shall be appointed each year
to audit the accounts of the Treas
urer and the Alumni Endowment
Fund Committee.
Mrs. F.. Lou Hanson, because of
her long connection with the College
thru her husband and brothers, and
in recognition of her great services
to our Association was elected an
honorary member.
On Wednesday, at 4;30 p. m, the
members of the Association, with
the exception of the Class of 1921,
who were compelled to be absent be-
cause of a conflicting appointment,
assembled in the Girls Gymnasium
for a "picnic-banquet," following
which came interesting toasts by
Hugh B. McCollum, Marshall f.
Vaughn, Mrs. Ruth Todd Coddington,
and President VIM. J. Hutchins. AT
ter this came the roll-call of classes,
with most interesting responses from
the representatives present, and then
brief business meeting
1t was voted to send the greetings
of the Association to Rev. p. ID.
Dodge, one of our earliest members,
who has been made almost helpless
by a paralytic stroke.

MUSIC TEACHERS TRAINING
COURSE At REREA

Berea College has always offered
unusual opportunities to those wish
ing to study music. Courses have
been given in cabinet organ, voice,
piano, and room has been found for
a limited number of students in vio-
lin for many years, and an increas-
ingly large enrolment has attested to
the merit of the work. But with
changing conditions in the mountains
will come new hopes, wider visions
and greater demands on the part of
the people Berea hopes to antici-
pate those demands, and constantly
prepares to satisfy them.
So, within the last two years, we
have greatly widened the scope of our
usefulness to our students. We have
opened splendid course in violin
and cello, besides expanding and de-
veloping the organ, voice and piano
courses. But more and more we have
realized that we were not striking to
the root of the matter. We were
reaching too few, and not touching
the musical life of the mountain chill
dren at all. So we now offer Music
Teachers Training Course, hoping to
get in touch with those who wish to
become music teachers in their home
communities but who do not wish to
go to a large city conservatory just
yet. And we want to know those
who are already teaching a little, but
who. they feel, need new music and
new ideas about their work. You can
earn good living and be a real benz
efactor to your community by becom-
ing a Music Teacher. Why not come
to Berea to get your training?
If you already know quite bit
about music, it will probably take
you only two years to complete our
course. You may choose any instru-
ment you wish to specialize on, but
you will want to take some other
musical study as a secondary. That
is, if you wish to specialize in Organ,
you will have to take Voice, or Vio-
lin or Piano lessons, too. But you
will find it well worth your while to
be able to do both. Besides these
private lessons you will have class
lessons in Harmony, sight-singing
and chorus directing, History and
Appreciation of Music and Methods
of Teaching-and English. 1t is not
an easy course, and no one who is
not in earnest need apply, but we be-
lieve we can help you if you are in
terested in Teaching Music.
Those who specialize in Voice in
this course will receive instruction
from Professor Rigby. The Violin
students will be under Mrs. Hutch
ms; the Organ, Miss futile; and the
Piano, Miss Jameson. We have a
dormitory accommodating ten girls,
especially reserved for those taking
this course. Write now to Professor
Rigby, Berea, Ky, for further infor-
nation or for room reservation.

MILITARY CENSURE
RULES MODERATED
Dishonorable Discharges to Be
Reduced in Number, Also

Washington, March 1.-Reduction
in the number of dishonorable dis
charges from the army and a grading
down in the severity of courts-mar-
tial sentences arc expected by the
Judge Advocate Generals department
to result from an executive order linn
iting military peace time punishment
which went into effect recently. The
order follows wide agitation over
courtmartial penalties during the war
period.
A memorandum from the president
attached TO the order directs that
maximum punishment and dishonor-
able discharges be imposed only in
aggravated cases. This is expected
to have more effect in reducing pen
alties, it was stated than the actual
order, which reduces punishments for
81 different offenses under the mill
tary code.
The old maximum of Is months
confinement for desertion by men less
than one year in service has been re-
duced to one year. and in cases of
more than months service, from
2k years to two years. The period
of absence for which desertion PEN
alties can be imposed is increased
from 80 to so days.
The maximum penalty for fraudu-
lent enlistment has been reduced
from one years imprisonment to six
months. The greatest reduction OF
maximum confinement is for assault
without deadly weapons, which was
3 years, reduced to one year. The
maximum where weapons are used
still is years.
The maximum for obtaining under
fol leo nroDortV
valued at $50 or more is reduced
from years to 3 years.
THE executive order will not result
in a radical reduction of penalties, y

vocate, declared. ."Punishments for

SNOW Shoes ARE

Chimes, However

Washington, March Snow shoes,
which proved such important instru-
ments in the recent rescue of the
American naval balloonists from the
snow-bound wilds of Canada, are lit
tie known except in most general
terms outside the localities where
they are commonly used. Still, to
make them is a fine art and to use
them is an accomplishment. Walk
ing on snow shoes is learning to walk
all over again. says a bulletin on
the subject by the American Forestry
association.
Up in the Hudson Bay country snow
shoes are almost as important as food.
and often much more important il
the food is very far away. The snow

of being all wood, it generally con-
sists of a wooden rim or hoop, cross
strung with thongs of leather. Snow
shoes of this kind are not always

fixed by different state laws for SINH
lar civil offenses. The executive or
der reduces maximum penalties for
such offenses as fraudulent enlist
ment, desertion and other peculiarly
military in nature, but maximum
penalties seldom have been awarded
for these offenses.
THE presidents memorandum call
ing attention to the Articles of War
which provide for a grading down
from maximum penalties where cases
are not aggravated probably will have
more effect in Tightening punishments
than the reductions which he actual
Iy orders. His memorandum. how
ever, but stresses what is already a
part of military law"
Since 1890 the president has been
authorized by congress to fix the linn
it of military punishment by execu-
tive order, and several such orders
have been issued from time to time
by different presidents.
