FINE ADDRESS rs MADE
BY DIR. ESTHER GATEWOOD

The Epworth League of the local
Methodist Episcopal church was
very much favored and benefited
last Sunday evening, in having DR..
Esther Gatewood of the psychology
department of Northwestern uni
yersity make an address She was
requested to occupy the entire time,
which she did. Miss Gatewood was
at her home here for her vacation.
Her address was along the line of
her college work. Some of the
points brought out were. That too
much attention is given to the out
side of ourselves-dress, etc, and
we do not think enough about our
real selves-our working selves.
Glass day problems bother but lit
tie, it is the many so-caIled little
or personal, problems that are hard
est to solve; what have we to work
with within ourselves; how much
aggressiveness have we. She spoke
of the knowing ndividuals-those
who know what they want to do;
she also spoke of those of the op-
posite nature, those who do not
know what they want to do, and
the biggest job she stated is to
work with those who never want to
DO anything. She said that facing
the new year is not unlike starting
to school. While many are not
aware Of the fact, or will not admit
it, she stated we do the things we
want to do most.
We express ourselves. or our
individuality, much more than we
think, some of the means of ex-
preston being through our hand
writing, our walk, and in many 9th
er ways we are not aware Of. Many
people, she said, know more about
their neighbors than they do about
hemselves-they do not know
themselves, it being so much cas-
Ter to inspect. than to. introspect.
In other words, we fail to do our in
DR.. Gatewood mentioned
that We do so little work in this
world in order to live, and that We
should learn to really liye-learn
what to do with our idle time. There
is where SO many fail. Religion,
the speaker said, is the highest eth
ical thing in the world 1t is the
highest form of leisure. Our goal
in life should be beauty-not beauty
of body alone. but beauty of our
