LoULIE COMPTON SEMINARY

Social life at the seminary for the past week featured two ideas, the colonial and the musical.
 On February 22, in the auditorium, the intermediate department. under the direction of Miss Milton West, presented the play, When Betsey Ross Made the Flag" There were colonial belles and beaux and cooked hats and wigs, and everything that might take one back to the days of '76 The stately minuet entrusted strangely with the barbaric dance of the Indian chiefs. All the actors played their parts with enthusiasm. Margaret Hudson as George Wash ington. Mary Frances McLin as Colonel Ross. Jennie Chalmer as Rob- ert Morris. Ada Cornelius as Captain Anderson and Joella DeArmond as Betsey Ross were excellent.
 One of the most delightful events of Birmingham's music week was the musical tea given by Miss Morton on Wednesday afternoon. The Idrawing rooms, music room and halls, and even the broad verandas, were thronged with guests. A profusion of camelias. jonquils and violets gave color and fragrance to the occasion. A highly classical program was given by Miss Mary Ray Dobyns, Miss Madge Hagan and Mrs. Falkenberry, pipe organ; LeMerle Penn and Mary nette Baker, plano; Margaret Lloyd, violin, and Rhonwyn Sims, voice. The choral class, with first and sec end violin obligatos, was pleasing feature. Miss Morton being an ac- complished musician herself. has al- ways stood for the best and highest in her art. After the program the beautiful tea table claimed the in- terest of the guests for a social half hour.
 On Saturday evening, in the semi- nary parlors, Miss Morton was hos tess at a lovely party. where the Bir- mingham Southern Glee club was in- vited to meet the seniors and the Specials" The bright spring blos- sons made a beautiful setting for the girls in their dainty evening frocks. Near the close of the evening de- licious refreshments were served.

 This is essentially a time when dlgnified and earnest exhortation in religion should be particularly valu- able. The tendency to lay hands lightly on religion is marked. It is bad sign, the sign of a disease that is reflected In the existing un- staility of affairs of business and of society.
 Properly expounded. religion (re- gardless of ereed) contains all the essentials of right conduct and it may not be divorced from genuine success in any line of endeavor, We were impressed by the statement the other day of Roger Babson, eminent financial authority, who, numbering the things America must do to reach a prosperous normalcy. lays emphasis on return to religion"
 Religion in it's true sense is neither deep nor intricate as a subject. IL is 99 per. cent faith and willingness to follow where faith leads.

If Nature had her way, we should be healthy and happy all the time. We abuse nature, thwart her mar velous efforts, by eating too much, sleeping too little, and by many other indiscretions such as wear ing bad shoes" which have a direct bearing on health.
 Some women can wear incorrect shoes and never suffer much, but most women would feel better and get less tired if their feet were properly cared for and properly shod. Every woman says so who has given thought to this subject.

 For the past two weeks the Ldt- erary clubs of the city have been coming to the gallery every morning and afternoon, and hearing talks on the subject of pottery. and the mem bers have evinced the greatest in- terest in the subject.
 The exhibit is not too large to be wearisome and consists of small ,col- lections from the important potteries of America. It begins with the col lection of prehistoric Indian pot t+ery, which has been presented to the league as foundation for museum. Many of these bowls and pots have been excavated and most of them were found in Arizona and New Mex leo.

charges both positive and negative. But
it also means that living being is COM
pletely determined in all that it is and
does, just as are the machines which man
constructs, and the rocks and winds and
seas, the electric and mechanical forces,
the stars and the suns that form the world
in which he lives. Law holds supreme in
the one and in the other, and in neither is
there such thing as chance. In both, the
same cause under the same conditions al
ways produces the same effect.
Biological science which deals with cells
shows, then, in answer to my question,
that l am complex of various kinds of
entities, existing as it were at different
levels, and of the processes that take place
at each of these levels. am being that
conforms absolutely to the laws of biology,
chemistry, physics and mechanics. But l
am not merely complex. am also an
organization. Electric charges are organ
lied, not merely summed or added, to
make atoms; atoms to make molecules;
molecules, to make cells; cells, to make or
gans; and organs to make the body. This
is the rule-the law.
But evolutionary biology" has also its
answer to the question, What am J? 1t is
recognized that every organ or function
of living being is characterized by use
fulness, either past, present, or future.
Perhaps, however, the most interesting
answer that evolutionary biology" gives
is derived from the results of the modern
study of heredity. A typical example;
the tallness and dwarfness of peas act in
inheritance as a pair of characters that
are quite independent of the smoothness
and wrinkledness of the seeds. Theory
and observation both show, then, that a
human being is complex of unit charac-
tiers, combination-but a combination
that is always so rare that it is never
likely to be repeated.
The answer, then, which the modern
study of heredity gives to my question,
What am 1? l am an absolutely unique
individual. Nature dealt the cards, and
l am one hand. l can only play with
what l have drawn.
There is strong tendency on the part of
the biologist to insist that his science, to-
gether with chemistry, physics, and me-
chanics, tells the whole story as to what
l am. But the claim cannot be admitted.
Water is not like hydrogen and oxygen,
building is not like bricks and supports.
Consciousness is not like nerve cells and
muscles although it may depend on these.
l can coincidently have sense-precepts,
remember, reason, have emotions, and will
to do something. l can also be conscious
of myself-whateve the self may be-al-
though it is evident that the consciousness
of self does not disclose what the self is.
But perceiving, remembering, thinking
and the like are processes, and process
is change There is "stream of con-
sciousness." What then, am L? Am the
present consciousness If l am, then |
am not the same self that was or will be.
I am, rather, many selves. And if l am
this, which one of the many is the self?
j., But if l am not the present conscious
ness, but some consciousness that is past,
then is the ~" a conscious /? Is it not,
rather consciousness become subcon-
scious, and organized either alone by it

WHAT AM 1?
Selected

Nv this question would De OF interest
for the reason that every one is
an a." And yet know that only very
still fewer have an answer for it. In
accordance with the spirit of the times,
turn to natural science for information,
and first, among the natural sciences, to
biology.
Modern biology has centered around
two theories, both based on observed facts.
The one theory, evolution, is that present
species of plants and animals have evolved
from preceding species; the other, that in
dividual living beings are made up of
small parts called cells. Biology in gen.
eral has established the fact that all the
physical forces, such as electricity and heat
occurring in living beings, are also found
in inorganic nature.
What then is the difference between the
living and non-living? 1t is one of COM
plexity and organization. The elements
that are found in living beings are or
ganized more completely than have the in
organic. But also, as result of organiza-
ton, living beings do certain things which
inorganic things do not do. Thus, first,
living being, either plant or animal,
grows, but only by transmitting the ma
terial which it ingests into such form as
is suitable for various tissues. Secondly,
all living beings reproduce their kind, this
process of reproduction being accompanied
by development from youth to reproduc-
tive maturity, so that there is series OF
reproduction and development All flower
ing plants we'll illustrate this. Thirdly,
living beings are acted upon by natural
objects and forces such as light, heat, and
food, but they react toward these forces in
that way which is advantageous. For ex-
ample, even the simplest living beings,
such as the amoeba, discriminate between
food and other objects. This fact has led
some biologists to claim that all living be-
ings have the analogue of consciousness.
But living beings consist of cells, and it
is this fact that also distinguishes the liv-
ing from the non-living. Cells are vital
units, that is, they are very minute indi-
viduals that have relatively independent
life of their own. Cells are also highly
specialized in structure and function-for
example there are nerve-cells and muscle
cells.
A cell, however, is not static entity.
1t is dynamic Many processes are taking
place not only within it, but also between
it and the environment These cell proc
esses are the basis of all other bodily pro-
cesses, such as the passing of nerve cur
rent and the contraction of a muscle.
But all the processes, both in organs
such as nerves and muscles, and in the
cells that make up such organs, at the
same time they are vital processes, are
also chemical, physical, and mechanical.
This means that living being consists
not only of cells and of those vital parts,
such as the nucleus, of which cells them
selves are composed, but also of the MOLE
culcs, the atoms, and the electrons that
make up the substance or material of the
cell itself. For as we'll known, molecule
