The president. Miss Chase, cor
4 diaIIy greeted the members OF the
Womans' Club and Town Improve
ment Society and other guests pres
ent and introduced the speaker OF
the evening, State Librarian Henry
e. Dunnack. OF Augusta. whom she
said was one of the States most
| distinguished speakers.
Mr.. Dunnack announced his SUP
iect to be ..Sorosis and Its Spirit OF
Revolt" which he divided into four
fundamentals. First, economic con-
tentment: second. social content
uent; third, intellectual content
ment: and these fundamentals, were
undivided and enlarged upon. Mr..
Dunnack stated that the present
condition of affairs is really n state
Of mind and that one reason for th',
condition is the change from the
country to city life and the morgan
lied condition is due in part to the
fact that people are doing too many
things and cannot concentrate on
any one or on a few and do them
well. He mentioned the system of
the modern newspaper. which he
said is amazing. but that we have
only time to read u brief amount
Of what is printed and look at Il
slightly. Another reason for the I'M
organized condition is the failure OF
ity: that there is no voice to whom
we are willing to listen. Mr.. Dun
rack stated that the clubs are do
ing much for the betterment and
are really training school and aid
in promoting the unity of purpose
and action in community life.
DIR. Dunnack stated that there are
three things which make up true
patriotism. First. must obey the
laws: second, pay our taxes: ana
third, men and women both should
vote. Mr.. Dunnack urged that the
beauty and glory of work be empha-
sized and that modern business sys-
TENS consist of four things. First,
the making of something necessary:
second, advertising it, or putting il
before the public: third, and plac-
ing it where the peo.le can procure
it; and fourth. to sl.ve the people.
Mr.. DunnaCk paid q tribute Of ap-
probation to the young people in
the college of the present day and
said that the value of education was
for two things. First. to earn liv-
ing. and second. to teach people how
to live. The three main forces
which are to save America. if IL
needs saving. are the home, the
church and the school. according to
Librarian Dunnack. and that the
bodies. head and heart must unite
IN the forming of character and
that only when the love of truth is
in evidence and with kindly feeling
toward others will America be
saved
