The Dovie Adams Welsh recital
given at Pilgrim Baptist Church. Ce-
dar st. and Summit Ave-. on Monday
evening, April 13. under the auspices
of the st. Paul Branch of the N. A.
A. C. p, proved to be one of the mu-
sical treats of the season. The pro-
gram was wonderfully well arranged,
including three Arias. one OF which
was in Italian, and were beautifully
sung; also two Folk Songs and a
Scotch song by Deems Taylor which
deserve notable mention. The audi
ence was so highly pleased with the
rendition of the entire program that
after prolonged applause, Mrs. Welsh
responded to several encores, one OF
which was Suanee River.
The N. A. A. G. p. board hopes that
this is the beginning of recitals and
entertainments sponsoring our own
musicians and artists, in order to
stimulate a greater desire for ad-
vancement along this line. Last but
not least, Miss Leah Minors rendi-
ton of Venetian Barcarolle" by
GODDARD and "Canzonetta" by Edouard
Schutt, showed much study and
training.

sesses in very large degree.
Dovie Adams Welsh as a child sang
very pleasingly Harmonious melody.
Through individual effort she has
been persistent q acquiring technique

sary to lyric mastery. Her interpre-

DOCTOR SAYS NO
CONFLICT .TW|XT
SCIENCE, RELIGION
Speaker Cites Use of Patent
Medicine and Laws Against
Teaching Evolution.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Apri 17.-Dr.
George E. Vincent, president of the
Rockefeller foundation, and former
president of the University of Mime
sofa, questioned whether the United
States was the land of dominant
scientific leadership before the Michi-
gan State Dental association here last
night, turning the spotlight upon the
use of patent medicine, laws denying
the rights of discussion, and serious
discussion of conjurer-like claims for
producing gold.
After dinner speakers prove every
few days that there is no conflict be-
tween science and religion and If they
define science and religion in the
right way there is not" said the
speaker. "But while we talk of this,
a scientist of world note, in lecture
tour of America, is forbidden to talk
of evolution in the state universities
of Tennessee and North Carolina be-
cause the legislature of those states,
begged, cajoled and influenced by the
church people, have made it unlawful
for the students to hear about eyolu-
tion.
while we gravely and fatuously
compliment ourselves on the rise of a
scientific attitude on the part of the
public, there are countless people
who deny the existence of microbes.
Even today, in Columbia university,
a learned body of men seriously con-
slider the claims of an inventor that
he can produce gold cheaply.
1.-THE American people consume un-
told quantities of patent medicine,
either of no value or of very little
value, at profits to the manufactur-
ers, ranging from 100 to zoo per cent.
"In the face of these and multi
tudes Of other absurdities we flatter
ourselves, for example, on the de-
crease in tuberculosis for which our
public health work takes all the
credit, but when we consider that the
rate of that disease falls off quite as
rapidly in districts where no work
has been done as where much money
has been expended we have occasion
to pause"

WILL CONSIST OF
BUT TWO GROUPS
FACULTY, PUPILS
Opinion Is Expressed That Lee
ture System Has Outlived
Usefulness.

Speaking under the auspices Of
the College Women's club in the First
Unitarian church. Minneapolis, Mon
day night, DR.. Alexander Meiklejohn,
former president of Amherst college
and the leader of a movement to rev.
olutionize education in America, de-
fined the college of tomorrow.
| This is the American college OF the
future as DR.. Meikle;ohn visualizes
| 1t:
1t will consist of but two groups
faculty and pupils.
1t will have sufficient funds to car
ry on its work and therefore need not
accept any funds that may be offered.
The faculty will be in charge and
it will not be large, for no one but
pupils who wish to study will be en-
rolled. The faculty will be represen-
tative of all fields of knowledge and
all students will at least understand
what their fellow-students are study
ing.
The teachers, who are third rate
minds, will not stand between their
students and the great first rate
minds that have created the books
from which professors now CLEAN the
material for their lectures.
| In other words, 1t Is the opinion OF
DIR. Meiklejohn, that the lecture sys-
tenn has outlived its usefulness, if in
deed, 1t ever had any, and the teacher
OF the future will direct the search Of
the student for knowledge to the best
sources available and assist him in
every way possible in assimiiating
that knowledge.
Purpose for America Seen.
In his discussion, DR.. Meiklejohn
pointed out that life within the col
lege is invariably a reflection of the
life of the country in which the col
lege is located.
Football" he said, 'is a success
and popular in the American college
today because II is understood by the
American people. 1t Is well support
ed and gets plenty of publicity. On
the other hand. the study of philoso-
ply is not understood, and the people
at home, when informed that the
young man is studying philosophy,
are likely to fear that he is losing his
religion"
He pointed out that America lacks
the culture of the old world, tradi-
tions in art and glory in many fields
of endeavor to inspire the student to
prepare by study for his future work.
But l believe that America is go
ing to find something important to do
soon," he said. "She is just coming
into her growth, having built up her
power, and 1 look for a great and
dominating purpose that will arouse
her."
| DR.. Meiklejohn deplored lack of
the reading habit among college grad
yates and explained that no one can
live properly in world he doesn't
understand.
1.-THE findings of science have
swamped the field of learning and as
result knowledge as it has been
known has gone to smash" he said.
1T is doubtful if the picture of what
the world means that most of us have
had will ever come back, for the man

Gated in the Bassett Place district, is

Phyllis Wheatley house is located in
what was formerly Jewish school
building. 1t is very much OF an over
grown house with an adjoining wing,
once a school room but now serving
as gymnasium and meeting place. 1t
was hardly meant to stand the strain
of a hard-fought basketball game and
every now and then when some eager
player, anxious to score a goal and not
worrying about skinning arms or elbows
smashes against the wall, the window
panes rattle and few pieces of plaster
are likely to come sailing down to the
floor.
"But l guess it will manage to hold
together a while longer" said Miss
Brown. though we do need gymna-
sium very badly"
