Mrs. PostIes Addresses
Group
By LEILA MAE HENDRICKS


Last Thursday was open house"
at the lovely Lucy Thurman Branch
Of the Y.W.C.A. Throughout the
building beautiful autumn flowers
lent their charm to the occasion
and the staff was quite busy ex-
tending a welcome to many men,
bers and visitors.
At IL p. m, chapel service with
Mrs. A. E. Thomas, chairman of the
branch board of management, pre-
siding, was featured.
At one o'clock one of the
highlights of the day, luncheon
was=hetd-by=tte= Home Relations
committee Of which Mrs. Burrell
Carter is chairman, in the small
dining room in the cafeteria. Mrs.
Ernest Cabule presided and grace
was said by your "columnist." Mrs,
William Postfes, recently returned
from Europe, where she attended
the World Conference of Christian
Youth at Amsterdam, Holland, was
guest speaker.
The speaker was very lovely In
an ensemble Of navy blue cas-
ual felt hat with perky colorful
feathers on side her only orna-
ment was a three strand choker Of
pearls, She spoke from the sub
ject Housing conditions and
accommodations abroad"
The trip took, the speaker rela-
ted extended over six weeks and
there were II nations represented
and 1900 persons in attendance at
the conference.
OF Europe in general, as far as
housing and accommodations Mrs.
Postles' experience was: poor
accommodations, insanitary plumb
ing, scarcity of water and facilities
for taking a bath, extreme poverty
of working classes, low regard of
servants, dearth of beauty in
arrangement Of food and unwhole-
some cooking. The lack Of these
accommodations that we
take in a matter of fact manner
brought to the speaker a greater
appreciation of America. The
speaker sveFFed that Berlin is-a
city of prejudice and hate. Signs
everywhere mo Jews allowed" On
certain streets Jews are not allowed
= Substitute food used and no
soap in hotel rooms every
thing conserved for the soldiers.
Mrs. Postles stated that two char
acteristics impressed her in Eng
land, namely: the great considera-
ton the young people have for old
people and their elders, secondly,
boys are reared to be gentlemen
from infancy so to speak Mrs.
Postles' address was quite infor-
NAL intensely interesting en-
joyed by all present.
AT pm. there was a tea by the
Girl Reserves and Camp Norcom
committees honoring Miss Helen
Wright; at p, m, a junior carnival
was held in the gym; at $50 p. m,

High School Is
An Aquarium

The fish in the aquarium In the
lab swim round and round They
nibble listlessly at the plants, bury
their noses in the sand, or come to
the surface to gulp some speck of
food They do not know why they
are there; they will never do any
thing except swim around in their
little glass cubicle. They have no
purpose, no freedom and no change
in their lives
Are we, in school, like the fish?
Do we circulate around from class
TO class; gulp in bit of learning
here or dream away few minutes
there? Have we no purpose, or def
mite aim? Mo- That is not the
case. For we are not fish whose
lives are bounded by four glass
walls. We have graduation, college
and life to face. We have work to
do. High school should be prep
aration, not means of passing the
time away while we wonder what
to do. If we have no ambition for
which we can work while in high
school, then let it be training per-
iod, at least, in work and study
habits.
The world may not seem to real
ize it, but it needs us nevertheless.
We have a battle on our hands, SO
prepare to fight. Soldiers have to
be trained. We. cannot train by look
ing at our neighbours paper, just
getting by, and thinking how much
we hate school, Everyone admits
that this is true, then let us be sure
TO act accordingly.

Army Man Discusses
Need for Armament

Tuesday morning, February A.
Mr.. j. P. Byrne, lieutenant of the
U. S. Army reserves, gave talk
on the need for a bigger and better
army and navy. First he gave a
brief history of the u. S. military
force. He told of the poor defense
we have always had. The weakness
of the army during the Revolution
was due to system of short en-
listment periods and to the fact that,
with the exception of General
SCOTS men, none of the soldiers
were trained Of the 100000 en-
listed men, not over 1900 were
ever in the field at one time
Although the situation before the
Civil war was even worse than it
ever had been, after the Civil war
we developed the best army in the
world But when the Spanish
American war came our army was
again unprepared for it, although
we had a fair navy. During the
time before the World war the Unit
ed States began to train their sold
iers and prepare for war Soon af-
ter we joined the World war we
had complete American army in
France.
AT the present time, although, be-
cause of our isolated position, we
need not fear foreign aircraft, we
have good anti aircraft force. In
the present and future we want to
get our production of arms up, and
be ready for war if it comes. Mr..
Byrne stressed the need for prop
erly trained soldiers and encouraged
the practice Of military training in
schools. He said,- ''In case of war let
US be prepared and not caught nap
ping as in the past"
