AT LUNCHEON.
with the CLUBS
oPTIMIsT


At yesterdays luncheon OF the
Optimist club, DR.. w. r. Hendrix,
member of the club and pastor of
the Highland Methodist church, de-
livered a scholarly. eloquent and
practical address on education, 1t be-
ing education week. Among other
things DR.. Hendrix pointed out the
danger to society that may be ex-
ercised by strong man who has the
power to rise to eminence, but has
not been mentally, morally and spirit
ually regulated by education. The
tragedy of 1928, he said, was that
there was so much to do for educa-
ton that must be done with so lit
tie. He defended the drives for edu-
cational funds made by the denomi-
rational schools, declaring 1t his
conviction that Auburn and the uni
versity and the cause of public edu-
cation at large had been assisted by
the church school drives and that
public education had received actual
ly more money following the appeal
for funds for the denominational
schools. Dr. Hendrix closed with an
earnest appeal to business men of the
community--those whom he said hal
shown their ability in carving out
success in their various lines--to get
behind the school authorities and 10
help them devise businesslike meth
DDS for the conduct of schools and
the expenditure of school monies He
declared it the duty OF Birmingham
business men to take the initiative
in school affairs and lend to them
the same business acumen which had
led them to success in their affairs.

F. A. Culley made short talk. in
which he plead for another need of
the children--the need for play

consider this need in its program for
the under privileged children.

process netted 1925 for the Christ
mas tree fund.

club will include in its program this
Christmas relief for needy ex-service

ABOUT THE LADIES

Topeka, January 3.-"Men have
surpassed women in every field that
is supposed to be pre-eminently wO-
mems province, says Prof. w. J.
Morgan, head of the department. of
philosophy of Washburn College.
Women pride themselves on being
more sensitive to art and aesthetics
than men. Why is it, then, that the
most beautiful gowns in the world
are designed by men? Why in some
circles, it is a distinnct step upward
toward something or other to possess
a gown made by man.
1.-The same is true of cookery. Who
are the cooks who get $4,000. or
SIS, 1000 a year? A few Frenchmen,
who can evolve favors that make the
gods envious because they can't taste.
Look at the things tie army cooks
achieved, too.
at is perhaps true, that more wo-
men are interested in artistic and
aesthetic things, but individual su-
premacy is almost always held by
men,"
