Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1922-08-24

In the afternoon Professor Chester
NJ. Sanford gave a large audience
plenty to think about in his lecture,
Failures Of the Misfits," which is
lecture designed primarily for young
people. Mr.. Sanford, vocational ex-
pert, is a man Of wide experience and
his lecture is the result Of a close
study into many of the professions
and the various fields of industry. He
asserted that some young people pay
more attention to clothes than they
do to the question of choosing vo-
cation. He stated that the question
should be in choosing a vocation,
what am ] best fitted to do, what are
my talents for this work and what
education have ! for this particular
thing? It is the wrong thing to just
drift into a life work, he continued.
He showed that this is the age of
the specialist and that the jack Of
all trades is rapidly disappearing.
The individual is now being asked to
do one thing and in the next 25 years,
he continued, the demand would be
even more insistent.
Although local Chautauqua audit
ence5 have witnessed many fine plays,
It IS generally conceded that Friend
" enemies" given Monday evening,
was the equal Of any that has ever
been given in Alma. As was to be
expected on unusually large crowd
was out TO witness the production.
The play IS a roaring comedy drama,
the plot Of which grows out Of the
conflicting convictions of two life
long friends. The two leading men
arc both Of German birth, but one of
them retains his sympathies for the
German cause in the late World war
until well along in the action of the
play, while the other one is a true
blue American citizen. The play is
divided into three acts and ends rath-
err abruptly as the loyal German citi-
zen is repeating with his wife and his
son, soldier in the United States
Army, the lines, "My Country, 'Tis
of Thee "
