TALK ON MANLINESS
 BY COLLEGE WOMEN
Miss Ruutz-Rees Talks to Boys in
 Language They Understand

and headmistress of Rosemary Hall, fashional school for girls at Green wich, Conn.,, addressed the High school club at it's weekly supper in the banquet hall of the Young Mems Christian association Monday night.
 Austin Vessel introduced Miss Ruutz-
 Rees in the absence of President Rus |sell Haigis.
 Miss Ruutz-Rees spoke in part: T had planned to talk to you fellows on Patriotism but after talking with your secretary find you are inter- ested in girls. Perhaps we may in- clude both subjects. l find in my work with girls that they are In many ways like you boys. They love ath- letics and all outdoor sports Just now our girls at Greenwich are playing field hockey, and in a year or two every school will be playing this game. They engage in all outdoor games and some of the girls are as proficient in throwing a baseball as any boy in your High school.
 School Self Governed.
 "Our school is self governed Pen alties for misconduct and violation of the school rules are inflicted by a committee of students. Any student of the school has the power to call a special meeting of all members of the school to discuss the punishment for some misdemeanor. Members found guilty of violation of school rules are given an opportunity of working off their penalties by manual work of one or two hours daily.
 Last night we had a meeting of the committee on rules and government or the school activities and discipline. Of the 25 members present, every member a chairman of some commit tee, reported on the work of the com mittee. We find that our self-govern- ment plan works out nicely. Girls as well as boys are sensitive to punish ment and expect justice. Some of our comic papers portray girls as vain and silly creatures, that is not so. They are real human beings much like you boys in every way. Our girls are all taught to submerge- their own desires and personality and show a patriotic spirit. This brings me to my original topic of Patriotism
 Stay-at-Homes Good Haters
 Patriotism has lost some of its glamor due to the late World War conflict. The people have been taught to hate other nations find that the people who stayed at home hated the most. Men who fought did not feel it. Patriotism should not permit us to forge, the other members of the world. We are mighty family and don't let patriotism and love for ones country permit us to overlook the great races of the world. We have reason to be proud of many things of We lead the world in finance, commerce industry and inI moral strength. We have shown the world the geehrosity of the people of the United States. When we took oyer some of the island possessions, the world thought we were greedy for more territory. Later on when we gave our posse ssions their freedom and helped to bring order out of chaos, we won the admiration of the whole world. When the world war COulllCt was dI itS icl6]lI we otSPPVo in and fought for right and justice any selfish reason. Again we won the admiration of the world.
 Our Attitude Toward Money
 "In spite of all of these fine, noble deeds there are many things that we have reason to be ashamed of. The | Idea prevails world wide that we wor ship money and arc; money mad. We have tremendous respect for wealth r and are too prone to size man up with the point of money in view, the size of his pocketbook. Socially, man is known and respected for his wealth in America. This is a blot upon our nation. It is up to you boys to help wipe it out
 Then again we are apt to show contempt for the intellect. The world thinks we are. Carthginian nation. Unless we are very careful we shall become worshippers of more gold and will soon forget the finer things of fife We show our utter contempt for .hings so-called intellectual We are lpt to look upon an individual who s interested in improving the intel
