Biology Glass j
Organized AT

The summer school class in BIZ

science club under the sponsorship
of Professor Harvery G.. Dickerson,
formerly of Prairie View University.
Mr.. Mark 7. Ball is the able presi-
dent The list of other officers is
as follows: Mrs. B. L. Redfield,
vice president; Miss Louise McNair,
secretary; and Mrs. H. C.. Dyson,
treasurer.
During this time several worth
while projects have been under
taken.
On Tuesday June q, 1854 the
103 Biology class of Jackson Col
lege visited the home of Mrs. Ross,
located at Dalton and Pearl Streets.
This Field trip, under the super
vision of the capable Prof. Dicker-
son, was for the purpose of study
ing and observing plant life. Found
at the home of Mrs. Ross was a
variety of flowers, trees and grasses.
Among the various types of flowers
found were roses. verbenas, iris,
nasturtiums, petunias, gardenias,
pansies, chrysanthemums, zinnias,
dahlias, hydrangeas, gladioli, crepe
myrtles and lazy susans. Mrs. Ross
is an active member of the local
garden club. The class benefited
very much from the trip.
On Thursday June %, 1854 the
Biology class GOLD, after having
selected six very capable speakers
the previous week, conducted a
debate. The debate wa re-
Their corn was more imL1 to
mankind than cotton. Among the
speakers for the affirmative side
were Mrs. H. C. Dyson, Mrs. Will
lis and Mrs. Virginia Taylor. The
speakers for the negative side were
Mr.. Edward Coleman, Mrs. Single
ton and Mrs. Essie Husband. After
a very heated contest the speakers
left the room and the class voted
Is in favor of corn and Is in favor
of cotton. The president of our
class and club, Mr.. Mark T. Ball,
ST., conferred with Prof DickerSon
and requested to eliminate the tie
but he decided that the debate was
so good that he would not vote one
way or the other so the contest was
declared a draw by President Ball.
This club has plans for many more
activities in the near future.
Mr.. T. A. Armstrong, the local
photographer, took several group
pictures of the club. These may be
obtained for $100 each.

Amos Sow It Coming

Amos predicted that his country
would soon fall because of its
sins. and fall it did. No doubt the
drinkers of his day thought their
liquor drinking helped them TO
escape from their troubles; Amos
could see that it only brought on
more troubles. The truth about
liquor is seldom to be had from
people who are its victims, more
seldom still from those who make
money by it. Ministers, doctors,
welfare workers, see the situation
from the standpoint of those who
have to try to patch up the wrecks.

nothing whatsoever to do with the

instituted by Christi He condemns
these church-goers more than he
does the riff-raff. 1t is worse for
some people TO drink than it is for
others; and perhaps worst of all
for church people After all is said
and done, people who know little
and may care less about what is
right and what is wrong. will think
that anything church member
does must be all right. One church
member who is known to drink,
even if he is very temperate about
it, can do more harm than dozen
alcoholics. Another respectable
