their own beautiful phoenix, the soul
Of China may emerge, pure and un-

The Chinese mind, which, in all our
preconceived ideas. was like the calm,
philosophic mountain peaks, proved
to be more like the muddy, turbulent
river with its illogical whirls and ed

there are terror and discomfort up and
down the Yangtse Valley. Every lit.

his own private brand Of tyranny. He

they are seldom permitted to enjoy.
But 1t can be easily seen what a hot
glow OF hatred can be fired into action

their troubles are due to the foreigner.
It is impossible to exaggerate the
pessimism Of foreigners up the

The great steam engines brought out
from the United states 90 to rack

are rumor mongers, and exist only as
long as they please the party in

propaganda; the temples are barracks
for soldiers.
On the other hand, most Of the or

good workers when well directed.

State contests leading up to the final
test in Washington City in June. A
somewhat similar contest, but en-
tirely Independent, was conducted in
1925 in Mexico.
The contest this year has assumed
an international character, not only
in the award of a personally con-
Quoted European tour for the seven
successful contestants in the United
States, but independently conducted
national contests will be held in
Canada, England, Mexico, France,
and Germany, eliminating in a
meeting in Washington next October
of the national winners. Each ma
tion's contestant will discuss the
governmental contribution of his
own country. The director Of the
contests in the United States is also
international director.
In the United States the subject, as
heretofore, will focus on constitu-
tional government. The seven final
lists will sail from New York City

NEW CENTURY CLUB

Quite a large audience consisting of
members, guests and students of the
high school were present on Monday
afternoon to hear DIR. Richard Watson
Cooper, of Wilmington, address the club
on Modern Poets"
Mrs. e. ]. Lewis, chairman of edu-
cation, had charge of the program
which was opened by the singing of
"Our Delaware" led by Miss Eiler, this
was followed by the club chorus, with
Mrs. E. T. Hurley at the piano, singing
Summer Song"
DR.. Cooper was then introduced and
gave a very interesting lecture in
which he tried to interpret some of the
modern verse and poetry.
He said that the modern school OF
literature has only had national recog-
milton since 1912; previous to this per-
| iod the American poets, with possibly
the exception of Whitman, were more
or less under the influence of the ira
ditions and literature of Europe.
He characterized the older poets as
writing with lofty, and rather fictitious
| imagination, not true to the actualities
of every day life, whereas the modern
poets holds more to realism, or repre-
sent nature and life as it actually ap-
pears.
He spoke Of the influence of the ORR
ential countries on modern poetry and
drama, naming some writer's of China,
Japan and India, who have received
| reCOBnlLlOn lot ln6iF WOEk.
| Several of our modern poets who he
| described as having a superior technic
in art were: Edgar Robinson, Robert
Frost, Amy Lowell, Emily Dickinson
and others.
He read extracts from several poems
and explained the reality to things and
the precise thought in expression.
He referred to poetry of the Old Tes-
| lament, saying the Psalmist might be
classed as a modern poet for his power
full and genuine portrayal of realistic
life and quoted the twenty-third psalm
as an example.
A rising vote of thanks was rendered
DIR. Cooper.
Next Monday the chairman of civics,
Mrs. Harry Southard, will have charge
of the program and promises an inter-
esting afternoon.
The sum of S250.00 was cleared with
the supper and fair held last week; this
entire sum will be turned over to the
| firemen.
The president and the general chair
man, Mrs. o. d. Ackerman, who had
entire charge of the affair are very ap-
preciative to those who helped and also
to the public for their generous contri-
buttons. which added greatly to its sue
| cess.
