AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER | 6, , 1916.

Appeal to to Students

Girls, We Are Counting On
You!

Girls, there is one thing that is|
not being promoted at Agnes
Seott with the spirit that it ought|
to be—the Budget System, <All
the old girls remember the talk
Dr. Guy gave last Spring about
this system. If is one of the big-

gest things that has ever been
put forward at Agnes Seott for

the benefit of the college and the
students.

It seems as if most of us do not
realize what we are saving by the
new system. It means a saving
of four dollars in all. The Annual|
is to be sold for a dollar less than
last year. If all the girls, old and
new, do not pay their share, it
will be impossible for the Annual
staff to get out the “‘Silhouette.”’
The literary society dues are
much lighter. It is so much het-
ter to pay part now, and the rest
in January, than to have the dif-
ferent treasurers coming to you
for a dollar here and there dur-
ing the year. Surely we want to
support our college activities,
which are a necessary part of col-

lege life.
- Saveay ONC” thay eUliiTcSe te woe
lege hears a lot about ‘‘college

ta)

spirit.”’ Girls, it seems to us that
now we havea chance for us all to}
show that every one at Agnes

Scott has true ‘‘college spirit.’’|
For is it not showing college spirit
to help carry on our college or-
ganizations? We all know it,
takes money to do this very thing!)

The old girls signed the cards)
for the budget system last year.
Some of these girls have paid and
of them we are not thinking, but
what of the girls who signed and
have not paid? They give care-
lessness, thoughtlessness or that
they have not the money as their
excuses. Of course, it is easy to
forget,
get out our college publications,
the Agonistic,
the Silhouette without the money ?

You can readily see this would be card of white with the exciting

impossible. When you signed the
cards last year you pledged your
name to the support of the
budget system. Now, please|
notice that we said ‘“‘pledged”’
and remember this. Come pay |
your dyes to Louise Ash, the
student treasurer.

The new girls have been given
the cards to sign, and we hope

the old girl on her part learned

Dr. Gaines in his dress-suit and

the members of the faculty in a
row near him learned innumer-

An Explanation,
For the benefit of the new girls

has asked the Editors of the

Agonistie to give a few words in
|explanation.

This short service is held every
Saturday morning at seven o’¢lock
in one of the rooms in each build-
ing and is led by some one of the
student body. it is purely a stu-
dent meeting and its purpose is to
foster those splendid and beanti-
ful ideals which have always been
a part of the Agnes Seott life.
There are prayers of thanksgiving
and praise for the safe passing of
each week

realize how necessary is the sup-
port of all the students. Unless
every girl does her share the
whole thing will fall through,
and surely we do not want a|
thing as big as this to fail for lack!
of financial support. When the’
*“pay day’’ assigned to the new
girls rolls around let them all
come around with five dollars,
and pay the student treasurer.
Payments have not come in as
readily as they should have come.
Now, let all the students, old and
new, get together and make a suc-
cess of this system, which will
mean so much to all of us and to)
Agnes Seott. Pay your money as
soon as possible. Girls, we are}

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1916.
PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS!

‘““WELCOME!”’
In our Very first issue of this
noble organ of public sentiment,
the staff wishes to give a hearty

' welcome to its friends. ‘*Wel-
, come’ is an awfully old word,
si isn’t it, but we want it to have a
_ new meaning for “each person,
- young and old, who will catch a
glimpse at our paper.

Now, there has always been an
i idea among good folks that ‘“‘ae-
‘ tions speak louder than words ;”’
fi we ask all to think this little
_ saying over. Ponder it in your
hearts, kind friends; Jet it ‘take

root and grow. You will find it
“wil prove a good motto during

these haleyon college days and,
_afterwards, in those future hours
in the cold world. What do you
putting this little ‘old

: practice right away?
” the new girls, we will do
7 little acts of friendliness
hearty good-will to rid them of
“that awful, awful knocked-out
feeling of loneliness, Haye we
_ forgotten our old friends, the dear
Sophs, Juniors, and Seniors?|-
Ah, no! We've always carried a
warm place in our hearts for
**auld lang syne,’’ and now we’ll

be letting them know how glad
we are to see them.
Leaving these good people, let’s

tell the faculty that their sub-
jects, the students, are with them
to the end (exams) and that co-
operation is going to be written
in raised letters in all our deeds
and words. Therefore, every-
body come join us in a hearty
good old handshake and greeting
—come join us in making this the
finest, the brightest, the cheeriest.
the happiest year ‘‘our Agnes
Scott’? has ever had.

A GENTLE HINT,

Of course, others may read this
advice, but it’s meant especially |*
Bey those people who have never
entered our grand and _ stately
walls before—for that great mass
which doesn’t know how to eat
““goat”’ or to digest fifty pages
of college etiquette in one second.
Indeed, we may truly call

hair}

attractively done “‘de la, pigtail,’’
we have a distinct B nentbrance
of three well-defined types
Freshmen.

Freshman No. 1 is that meek.
mild little body who has a lone-
some, ‘‘afraid-to-go-ont’’ feeling
in her middle. She’s almost a
mollycoddle and looks upon these
eadful college folk as persons

‘dered in cold blood.
who aceosts her
yking fun’’
ky. ‘‘Home,

Every
is

really would enjoy seeing her|

only
and truly her way
Sweet Home’’

i

THE AG NISTIC

occupies her entire thought and, |

of this young woman,
“Beware !*’

Freshman No. 2, with that bold,
bad air, greets us next. Let all
who will come near, but let no
one ‘‘sass’’ her. She knows as
much as the Seniors, does as much
as the Juniors, and tatks as much
as the Sophs. Truly, she is an
independent young woman. for
her pals at home have warned her
that a bold front will get along
at college. Of her fine bragga-
docia, we whisper ‘‘Beware!”*

Ah! another girl comes to our
view. Who is she? A Freshman,
really? She is a girl who is in-
dependent enough not to be a
mollycoddle—but who is depend-
ant enough to take the advice of
new found friends. This Fresh-
man is our type of the affable,
“l friendly girl. She has found out
that no one wishes to do the
black hand’’ act or to “‘hoodoo”’
her; that too bold a front is a
species of effrontery. Though
our “‘green”’ girl has her many
faults, we heartily commend her
to you and ask that you will re-
member her keywords: ‘‘ Adapt-
ability results in ability.’’

let us say:

BOOST! BOOST! BOOST!

Who says this is not the bright-
est year with the brightest pros-)
pects? Our Agnes Scott has en-|
rolled already a number which
far exceeds the enrollment last,
year at this time. Our increase,
is splendid! Well, now we have:
it, shan’t we keep up such a
record—try to make it grow more!
and more, every day, every
minute? ‘‘BOOST”’ and do it all)
the time is the only way we know
how to get that “GREATER |
AGNES SCOTT” that Doctor
Gaines has been talking about.
Let’s form at least. in our minds,

a ‘BOOSTER CLUB’’—with new
buildings and an endowment fund
looming big in the distance. If
we do our best, nobody ean
from suecess! BOOST!
BOOST! BOOST!

AN APPEAL.

Our friends are always making

demands and requests of us! It)
is boring frequently, but do we

ever consider that these demands)
and requests are often worth
while?

Once, long ago, somebody con-

ceived the idea that people ought

‘*to do unto others as they would
be done by.”’ Truly, this is a
fine conception of what every per-
son in this great big world should
strive after.

Now, our mouth\piece of Agnes
Seott public sentiment has been|
“The Agonistic.” It,
along with the ‘‘Silhouette’’ and)

1e ‘‘Aurora,’’ is the college’s
publications. Will the girls help)
to make each and all of them sue-
cessful? Then, here’s the way!
our friends should do. The firms,
of business which advertise with
us are most anxious to please the)

“Agnes Scotties.”* Surely, they
deserve our first consideration,
for didn’t we say a while ago that)
we needed that time-honored
“Golden Rule?’’ Consequently,
with all our hearts in these
words, the Silhouette, the Aurora |
and the Agonistic staffs appeal-to|

keep. these,

we'd feel we knew a great deal
more about our ‘‘Alma Mater’’
when we read those delightful
pages of our eollege “‘stunts’’ in
‘‘Not in the Catalogue.”

THE FOLIO CLUB.

The members of the Folio Club
wish to announce to all the mem-
bers of the Freshman class who
are at all interested in original
composition that they are eligible
for membership. Each applicant
must write some original work
and submit it to the club for ae-
ceptance. If it meets with the
approval of the members the girl

is of course a member. This
Club, organized for promoting
literary activities in the Fresh-

man class, earnestly desires that
many Freshmen will find time and
inclination to endeavor to join the
elub.

AGGIE CAMPUS

Well, here you all are, back at
dear old ‘‘Agony’* Scott and Ag-
gie is mighty glad to see you,
every one. After the dreary.
lonesome months of summer, how
delightful it is for us to suddenly
settle down to our thrilling les-
sons! Why, one tall illustrious
Junior from Savannah was so
happy to be back that she em-
braced everyone she saw the first
day and even tried to kiss the
chairman of our electric com-
mittee. They tell me, though,
that she was thwarted in her ef-
forts. Aggie can not explain this
phenomenon,

Speaking of phenomena, I hear
that some of you Freshmen have
heen home-sick. This is a thing

which has never happened before
to any Freshman in the history of
our college. The Sophomores|
often consider castor oil a sure}
remedy for this kind of disease;
but, spruce up, Freshmen, and
show the stuff you’re made of!
Aggie saw another phenomenon |
the other day when visiting (of|
necessity) a psychology class. The|
professor asked the girls to write|
their names on pieces of paper.
After collecting the slips, he call-|‘
ed the following roll: Miss Lois
Grill, Miss Julia Wallace, Miss!
Clime Mooten, Miss Emily Kiyes.
Miss Frances Skidd, Miss Olive
Nordwich, Miss Lois Sine, Miss! ¢
Sallie Young White, Miss Clara)

Shot, Miss Virginia Samaster,
etc. Does the professor need|

more powerful eyeglasses? Or,

| doesn’t the psychology class need

a strenuous course in penman-
ship.

Still speaking of phenomena,
have you noticed how considerate

Miss Bucher is this year of the
noisy girls? Why, one might
even call her sympathetic. Now.

Aggie knows why this is so. This
summer when our librarian was
at Blue Ridge, she was

‘shoo-od’’ at the library and so
now she has a fellow-feeling for
noisy sinners.

The last phenomena I am going
to tell you about this week con-
cerns shoes. Someone spilled
something on our business man-
ager’s shoes. What ean it be?
Ask Myra!

FACULTY NEWS.

Miss Trebein and Miss Markley

ping en route at various places of
interest.

Miss Louise McKinney was the
guest this summer of Dr. Frances
Sweet and she most delightfully
eutertained. Miss McKinney also
journeyed to Savannah in the first
part of September that she and
Dr. Sweet might ride back to
Agnes Seott together in Dr.
Sweet’s new car. Dr. Sweet’s
mother and brother will spend
the winter in Decatur.

Mr. and Mrs. Dieckman and
Miss Lillian Smith spent a part of)
their vacation at the University].
of Columbia. They had a delight-
ful as well as a profitable time.

Miss Lewis and Miss Preston

leaving Atlanta, they visited. first
Charlottesville and the University
of Virginia; then Staunton, Mrs.
Gaines’ home. From Virginia,

ecatur’s New Moving Picture House
PASC

A long felt want is filled by the modern picture house to be opened in
Decatur.

Only first run pictures will be shown, including those of the Paramount
Film Co., the World Film Co., the Brady Film Co., the Fox Film Co., the
Triangle Film Co.,.and all the leading pictures of the world's largest studios.

The house itself is artistically decorated and well ventilated. The seats
are comfortable and placed well apart. The most modern screen is used to
avoid any strain on the eyes. Every effort has been made to insure the
comfort of the patrons.

The program will be changed daily. .
The weekly program will be posted in Main building at Agnes Scott.

Saturday is the opening day, and a splendid picture is offered on this
occasion.

There is no doubt but what the management will have great success
with their enterprise with the enthusiastic patronage of Decatur, especially
the students of Agnes Scott.

The admission is only five cents; ten cents on Saturdays.

The Presidential campaign may

Saturday was signalized by two
carefully caleulated speeches, one

by Mr. Wilson and one by Mr.
Hughes. Mr. Wilson has relin-

and struck out boldly against the

The threatened
strike growing out of street

terialize.

Wilson sent a message to leader
of German-Americans which with
scathing effectiveness expressed
his aversion to the German-Ameri-
can vote.

RECENT ELECTIONS.

Choice of Capable New Girls!

With a very bright and cheery

smile does The Agonistie staff
greet their new member, Miss

Louise Marshburn, of the Sopho-
more class. She has, as far as all
have found out, most splendid tal-

ents both as a writer and as a
manager, Therefore, it is a very

easy thing for us to rejoice over
the election which was held on
Thursday, October the fifth, in the
chapel.

Indeed, Louise,
that our paper will be
doubly suecessful by your
and by your encouragement.

Another election held on the
following day proved most grati-
fying in its outcome. Since the
Art Editors of the Silhouette
failed to return this year, these
very important offices had to be
filled. Two very able, ‘‘artistic’’
girls were chosen. They were

THE OPENING DANCE.
A Splendid Success.

The ‘‘grind has begun’’ at A. 5.
C. but with it has returned the
light spirit of the danee. On
Saturday night all the girls came
over to the gymnasium for a big
time. An orchestra from Atlanta
furnished the musie for the occa-

sion, Everyone was eager to be-
gin because it was the first big

dance since the opening of college.
So at 8 o'clock they began ‘‘trip-

ping the light fantastic’’ to the
strains of the orchestra. Waltz

ternation. ‘‘Breaking”’

so that everyone had a chance to

dance with everyone else. Be-
tween dances, refreshing drinks}
were served. The grand march

was led by Miss Julia Walker and
Miss V. Young White. At 9:00
o'clock the crowd dispersed and
everyone agreed that the first big
dance of the season was an en-
joyable affair. It is hoped that
this custom will continue through-
out the year, for besides serving
as a pleasant form: of recreation,
it enables one to come in contact
with all the girls more often.
FACULTY BACON-BAT.
Saturday afternoon ten of Agnes
Scott’s faculty went to Stone
Mountain for a bacon-bat. Since
the party consisted mostly of new
teachers, they enjoyed immensely
seeing this splendid stone monu-
ment. After tramping around the
mountain they found a cozy nook
where they cooked the bacon and
had their feast. Then they hiked
to the top of the mountain, en-
joyed the scenery and returned in
the evening from their blissful
trip. Those who went on the bat

Opening Play of ‘‘Blackfriars.’’

Already there has begun to
spread around the campus, the

news that the Blackfriars are go-
ing to give a “‘perfectly darling”’
play on October the twenty-eighth.
This news is no mere rumor but
actual truth and what is more, it’s

something to look forward to.
They are going to give *‘Endy-

mion’’ on the lawn in front of Dr.
Gaines’ house and you old girls
remember how lovely ** Mid Sum-
mer Night’s Dream’? was when
cviven there last spring. The
Blackfriars are putting their best

talent into this play and Miss

share to make it a success. The

Girls, Attention!

The Agonistic is supposed to
give publicity to all A. S. C. events
which are at all important. <A
very praiseworthy
has been brought to our notice,
and we've been asked to give it
spec vial mention. That e nter prise
is the bulletin board of ‘‘Y. W.”*
on one of the walls in Main Build-
ing. This ‘‘Board’’ will not only
be devoted to things of interest in
“VW.” circles, but also to prob-
lems in the student body. Conse-

quently, girls, do give it a little
attention every week, for we as
sure you it is, indeed, worth the

trouble.

Its Future.

The Aurora, our quarterly mag-
azine, is soon to appear according
to information which The Ago-

India Tlunt, the editor. This
means that, in November, we shall
see and read it in its new form.

in Main Building at an early date.
In it the students are asked to

whether printed or not, is a credit
to you for, at least, ‘‘the spirit is

Freshmen Frightened.

The Sophomore Committee,
which is composed of ten members
of the class of 1919, met last
Thursday night in the Propylean

Ifall to punish all disobedient
Freshmen, The ten judges, garhed

in black caps and gowns, made an
imposing appearance as they stood
on the platform to receive the ter-
rified defendants. Bailiffs ap-
pointed for this occasion were sent
to all parts of the campus to sub-
poena the guilty, and one by one
the frightened law-breakers were
ushered in for trial by the door-
keepers. The charges of the un-
fortunates were read aloud by the
class president. and presiding offi-
cer, Miss Mary Brock Mallard.
For a few seconds dead silence
reigned supreme except for the
giggles which came from the audi-
ence on the other side of the court-
room and the significant shaking
of oil by the sheriff, Miss Ruth
Lowe. Then the same judge sen-
tenced the prisoners, the penalties
depending, of course, on the of-
fense of the convicted. The judges
took particular pains, however, to

was particularly effective on this
occasion, as she was made to fully
appreciate the words of her selee-
tion. Miss Tyler Willey sang a
parody on ‘**Frog Went a Court-
in’,”’ substituting the names of
some of our faculty members as
follows:

Some had to dance and quite a
few were ordered to make short
talks on subjects assigned by the
committee. There were many who
had to roll a pencil across the floor
with their noses, thus causing
those who did this to use oils and
ointments for the restoration of
the said feature to its normal con-
dition. Misses Ruth Tinney and
Marian Tart survived this trying
ordeal with much diffienlty. The
little white dog was rocked and
sung to sleep by Miss Fannie Me-
Caa and the famous (?) Dot
Kicker after first rendering the
selection, ‘‘Sympathy,’* was made
to kick for several minutes. In
several cases it was necessary for
the defendants to sit down and
get up twenty-five times to refresh
their memories and in extreme
cases castor and ¢od liver oil were
administered. Of course, all had
to publicly apologize for commit-
ting their crimes. Then they were
all herded into an anti-chamber
of the court room where they
could be heard fuming and fuss-
ing about the different sentences
imposed upon them, After about
two hours and a half the eourt
adjourned, having completed one
of the most strenuous day’s work

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS!

QUIET IN CHAPEL,

Haven't you felt, girls, just a
little taken down when Dr. Gaines
has to call your attention by fre-
quent raps to the fact that you
are making a noticeable noise by
your constant buzz of chatter? He
has such a pained expression on
his face that we might try to rem-
edy affairs for that reason if for
no other!

But coming down to facts and
putting all flippancy aside, don’t
you think it is somewhat of a dis-
erace to have to be reminded like
a crowd of little children who are
disobedient of your faults when
vou know you are perfectly eapa-
ble of remedying matters. It does
not depend on anybody but your-
Last, year the Junior class
tried to help the situation by sta-
viing one of its members at the
door every morning to remind you
but it didn’t do a particle of good.
Some of us even engaged in con-
yersation with her and increased
the confusion. It looks as if
Agnes Seott as a whole might be
able to accomplish this quiet in the
morning at chapel if the Junior
class could not. Tf you can’t do
it any other way, get your pride
aroused and observe that Agnes
Scott has never yet failed to do
anything she started to with the
co-operation of each individual.
Let each one of us make a promise
to ourselves to be quiet as soon as
we enter the chapel and PLEASE
let’s remember it-and not have to
see Dr, Gaines’ pained expression !

Seriously, PLEASE,
There’s another constituent

which we want in the atmosphere
and which we haven't enough of
at the present time, that is this
business of not borrowing. It’s
most inconvenient to be going
somewhere and haying formed a

life-sized picture of how you'll
look in vour new hat to find it}
gone. And it is equally as trouble-

some to go to the library and find

the hook you want mysteriously
disappeared. Please let’s all re-
member these things. (Co-operate|

with student government and Y.
W. and with your friends, and
let’s make it the very finest atmos-
phere in the whole world—this
Agnes Scott atmosphere.

MAKING AN ATMOSPHERE.

It’s quite wonderful

what a
change Agnes Scott can make in
a girl. You’d be surprised to
notice how timproved you'll he
when you finish! And if you come
right down to faets don’t you

have to acknowledge that it’s just|

the atmosphere of the place?
Some people call it student honor
which effects this change in a girl,
hut we think it’s the atmosphere
and therefore it’s very important
for the new girls to know all
about it,

We were talking to some college
people this summer about our stu-
dent government and the honor
system and they seemed absolutely
surprised when we told them if a
girl was a minute or a second or a
half-second late on the campus,
she registered it in the book,
whether it happened to be her
first “‘late’’ or her third one. It
seemed incredible to them and
they didn’t understand at all how
it worked so well. (By the way.
they went to an Eastern college).
But we told them it was just a
part of the atmosphere. You new
girls have got to get on to it if

you want to have one of those
Jastern college people be sur-
prised at YOU. Believe us, it’s
worth: it.

Then another thing is about
studying on Sunday. We know

all about the difficulties of Genung
and exactly how many pages Guy

Mannering has and how many
Math propositions Miss Young

gives, but you'll do it lots better

home-si¢kness when we're Fresh-
men. Oh! we could wander
and on concerning this little old
English word which has such a
wealth of meaning, which has
helped our English kinsmen to de-
velop that bull-dog tenacity.
Can't you guess our word?

Why, it’s PLUCK!

POOR OLD DAY STUDENTS.
Suppose you had started from
home in plenty of time to make
that nine-twenty class and after
standing around waiting half an
hour for an ordinary five-minute
connection and at last getting
fairly started on the Deeatur line,
had met various and sundry gaso-
line obstacles on the track; sup-
pose. say, you met a wagon full
and bumped into it thereby skid-
ding for awhile in gallons of the

smelly, greasy stuff. And if you
helped send the poor gasoline

driver into an instant immortality
through all your distress and sym-
pathy would run the subconscious

and easier and we'll guarantee Sirs ca ; ;

F 1 fp -. thought. I’m missing if—I’m
your conscience will feel better if sets 13 : gate
f : : missing that class! Wouldn't it
you'll get up Monday morning and
; ; be hard on your nerves, and

do it instead, Let’s try to have it
so that not a soul studies on Sun-
day. It’s part of the atmosphere
not to—make it a rule to do a little
work Saturday night if necessary
and a little early Monday morning
and eultivate the atmosphere.

HELP US!

We're not ‘‘kicking.’’ we've
merely sprung this as an instance
of how we need more room and of
how we want to appeal to our
friends to help us arrange our
plans and get our Greater Agnes
Scott. Only a few days ago The
Agonistic was threatened with im-
mediate inconvenience because the
class in ‘‘Psyeh.*’ 1. and it were
trying to carry on business in the
sane room. This couldn’t be
helped but what was to become of
both of these important factors at
A, S. C.2 We eall on outsiders
who read this little article to mark
well its words. that we actually
jhave not enough space to turn
around in, out here. Then you'll
ask what are we going to do about
it? Ilere’s the answer: Our out-
side friends and our girls inside
inust seek to secure an endowment

fund or some generous gift in
order to make us deserve that
‘Greater Agnes Seott.”’ In our

last issue we spoke of a ‘* Booster
Clab.”* Can’t we make it work in
this issue? Won't Agnes Seott’s
need be ever present in the minds
of her daughters?

ONE LITTLE WORD!

Often we find that there are lots
of words which express our senti-
ments exactly. Other words have .
not that quality of BORHAG I;
““smack’*’ to the point. Now, we
are going to write a whole article
about this one little word which,
although short, will certainly go
a long way!

In the art of story-telling peo-
ple have told us that we must keep
our readers or listeners, as the
case may be, in suspense. Now,
that’s exactly what we shall en-
|deavor to do in regard to this one
little word whieh
volden key to every action!

Can any one person really guess
at this moment. what our idea is?
Probably not: so, good people.
we'll proceed to explain this good
word’s qualities. Our little word
should he printed in heavy type
in the records of our deeds and
savings whether we're children or
whether we’re old folks. It helps
in every sphere, in every vocation,
and it is particularly suitable to
college life. Does the way seem
clearer new?

Well, to repeat. our ‘‘ golden
key’? is so very valuable in eol-
lege work and play. for, friends,
it helps us to grin and bear a hard

| lesson ; to grit our teeth and win;
again, when we've ‘‘flunked,’’ to

swallow down those bitter sobs of

As Aggie sits in the Rebekah
Scott lobby and watches the girls
frail to and from the dining room,
she always pricks up her ears like
a rabbit, for she is curious to hear
what girls talk about, having had |
no experience along this line. The}
plirase she has heard most fre-
quently this last week is *‘com-|

not comprehend the meaning of|
this. and she heartily requests that
some Rebekah Seott diner relieve
her curiosity.

HOCKEY RALLY.

Nearly a hundred girls, some at-
tracted by the promise of an ice
cream cone, others by curiosity to
see what hockey really was, gath-
ered in the gymnasium last Thurs-
day for the ‘‘ Hockey Rally.’’ Mrs.
Parry explained by diagrams the
principles of the game,

and Mary Neff, with sticks anc
bean bags, gave an interesting

demonstration of how it should be
played.

Two teams, the ‘*Purples’’ and
the *‘ Whites’? were organized and
the first practice took place Mon-
day afternoon. Afterwards.
eream cones were served to all the
prospective players.

Mueh enthusiasm

Was evinced

_ by the girls, and the entire col-

lege greets the revival of hockey
with interest.

SWIMMING.

Although somewhat limited in

both time and space, swimming is’

proving to be an attractive pas-
time for the students. There are
quite a few accomplished swim-
mers in school and these, together
with the new ones developing dur-
ing this year, onght to be able to
put over a successful “‘swimming
meet’’ sometime in the spring.

A WORD FROM CHANCELLOR
BARROW.

(From **The Red and Black’’)

I wonder if you who are stu-
dents realize how much is possible
for you in your University course ?

One man walks over a rich vein
of precious ore and complains that
the walking is bad. Another man,
a seeker, comes along. stops,
camps, digs down and gets the
treasure.

So many men have found riches
here, that you may he sure you
will find them, if you will seek
them with diligence.

The riches of an education differ
from other riches. Money, ma-

(From ‘*The Red and Black’’).
Seventeen student Bible Study
classes have been organized in the
Athens Sunday schools. In most
‘of the churches special student de-
jpartments have been organized.
|The Freshmen are using as their
istudy course “‘Student Standards

Juniors and Seniors, ‘*‘The Teach-
ing of Jesus and His Aposiles.””
i These classes meet at the regular
Sunday school hour and as a part
of the regular Sunday school.

The world knew that Germany

was necessary for Germany to deal
France an overwhelming blow at

France through Belgium, for if
she did not, she would haye to
Hsend her armies over poor roads
or through mountains. Germany
expected an easy march through

Belgium, but the Belgians held
the Germans off for ten days. The

Germans marched into France, but
in the Battle of the Marne on the
With and 19th of September, the
German army was thrown into
eontfusion. General Joffre, of the
Prench forces, collected a reserve
farmy back of Paris which attacked
the end of the German army. This
Fcampaign was decisive, for the
Germans were forced back. <A

YOUR FAVORITE ‘‘VERB.”’
What Is It?

What is your favorite verb?
For a well-worn useful first semes-
ter verb let me recommend **‘ join.’
During the first month on the
campus it works overtime. It
nay mean college organizations
or political parties or dancing
clubs. It always means choice;)
it always means people. And as

a rule it means adventure, if we
give it a chance.
The organizations in college

ought to be more than a means of
‘‘activity,”’ a paste imitation of
life as grown-ups know it or the
reflections of by-gone college tra-
ditions. They ought to prepare
us for the broad life of human
va aed and service we dream

The organizations we all know
so well can prepare us in that way
if we will give them a chance.
Do we?

Why did you join the Literary
Society or Y. W. C. A.? Because
everybody does? Because, as
someone has Sr loabptieeliy said,

“Tf you join they will let you
alone,’’ or did your friends make
you? If you honestly faced your-
self and the organizations you
have joined could you tell why
and be proud to defend yourself?

AGNES SCOTT ALUMNAE.
Enthusiastic Meeting.

The Alumnae held their first
meeting of the year Friday, Octo-
ber 6, at Agnes Scott and there
was more enthusiasm and better
attendance than is usual. There
were a great many plans set be-
fore the Association fer the new
work. A bazaar is to be held
some time before Christmas at the
college and every one must begin
on some little or big article, for
we want it to be a ‘big money
maker. Another plan for making
money is a rummage sale to be
given in Atlanta. Our President,
Miss Rogers, is undertaking this
and will appreciate all donations.

This plan was thought a little un-
dignified for the Agnes Scott
Alumnae, but if has been used
with such success as a money-

making scheme that we are going
to try it out.

Dr. Gaines spoke to the Asso-
ciation and encouraged them, espe-
cially in the work of forming
branches of the Alumnae in other
cities and also in raising money
for the ‘‘Loan Fund.’’ Ile also
urged the Alumnae always to do
what they could to get additional
money for the endowment fund

FACULTY RECEPTION.
Dr. and Mrs. Gaines Entertain.

One of the most delightful social
events of the past week was the
reception given for the faculty by

Dr. and Mrs. Gaines at their
charming home on the college
campus. Those assisting were
Miss Hopkins, Miss Alexander,
Miss Lewis, Mrs. C. M. Candler,
Mrs. L. M. Gaines, Mrs. Johnson
and Mrs. Dieckman.

The guests were received in the
living-room, parlor, and dining-
room which were lighted by can-
dles in tall silver candelabras.
The attractive decorations of au-
tumn flowers harmonized beauti-
fully with the rich old mahogany
furniture. The color scheme was
carried out very artistically in
dark autumn colors. Around the
punch bow] were large clusters of
grapes and red foliage.

During the reception delicious
refreshments were served, includ-
ing fruit punch and chicken salad
sandwiches. Later in the after-
noon the guests were served with
cream and cake. Roasted nuts
and bon-bons were arranged on
the table in the dining-room,

Many guests called during the

afternoon to meet the members
of the faculty. Altogether it was

a very enjoyable occasion.

‘back of 1

nesday evening was the banquet
in the tea room which was given
in honor of Miss Agonistic m
celebration of her first birthday.
The colors used in the pretty deco-
rations were those of our Alma
Mater, purple and white, and
were-carried out in every detail,
The center of the table was
adorned with a large cake on
which there was one candle, The
places of the guests were indi-
cated by novelty favors. An elah-
orate menu prepared by Miss
Martha was served.

The entertainment was made
possible by last year’s staff who
so successfully managed the pape r
that they ‘“‘ecame out ahead.’
Those present were Misses Mary
Spottswood Payne, Lois Eve,
Myra Scott, Claire Elliott, Doro-
thy Thigpen, Louise Ware, Caro-
line Larendon, Marguerite Watts,
Rita Schwartz, Margaret Pruden,
Louise Marshburn, Julia Walker,
Mary Freeman, Gjertrud Amund-

sen, India Hunt.

MISS YOUNG COMING!
A Welcome to Her! ;

All the old girls will hear with
the greatest pleasure that Miss
Willie Young is coming to be with
us from the 24th to the 28th of

October, Everybody wants to see
her: the old girls because they

know just how helpful the meet-
ings are which she conduets, and
the new girls because they ve
never seen her but have only heard

of her and because they can guess
at any rate what a treat is in

store for them.

VOLUNTARY STUDY CLASSES
Join Now!

New girls, can you guess
just how much time and thought
and planning has been spent on
the organization of these Volun-
tary Study Classes? We shouldn't
be addressing it to new girls alone,
though, because now that we come
to think of it there are just as
many old girls as new ones who
have not joined yet. both of
old and new, what’s the mat-

vou

ter with you? Is it because you
want to sleep late on Sunday
morning or because you don't
think it’s as important to go to
Sunday School as it is to go to
classes? We are inclined to think
that we all get enough sleep
around here and as for the other

we don’t believe that there are
any of us too good to go any more
than some of us might be too
bright to take Physics or Home
Ee or English XT.

It has meant sacrifice of time
and effort to the girls who are
it, and it looks as if all
Agnes Seott might co-operate, It’s
a ‘small thing to go to a Sunday
School class and get the benefit
from the lessons compared to an
extra hour in bed. Let’s get rid
of the laziness or the disineclina-

tion or whatever it is and join
the elasses. Don’t let another

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1916
PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS!

HEED THE ALARM!

Listen, girls! Have you ever
stopped to consider the serious-
ness of those much-dreaded fire
drills and the prime importance
of the organization of an orderly
fire brigade? Evidently some of
us have not or we would not look
upon it as such a joke. Even if
some of us do present a rather
ridiculous appearance when the
fire alarm calls us out unexpect-
edly between mid-night and morn-
ing, still this is no time to giggle.
Serious mishaps may result from
the delay caused by one girl’s
carelessness. Two things are nec-
essary to insure the success of our
organization—first, hearty co-
operation, and second, the power
of ‘keeping our heads.’’

We know that no organization
can possibly suceeed without the
hearty co-operation of all its mem-
bers, and girls, this one must suc-
ceed. It is absolutely essential. It
is true, we may never have a fire

here. and yet we may have one|
this very night, so there is nothing}

like being prepared. As Miss
Cady has said, an ounce of pre-
vention is worth several pounds of
cure. Especially is it true in this
case. Won’t you think this over
and try to realize the seriousness
of it?

Now, some of us may look upon
this seriously and at the same
time, not have the power of keep-
ing a cool head during a critical
situation. Well, we must develop
this power as it is ‘‘the one thing
needed’? in case of a serious fire.
The members of the faculty have
done their part in choosing capa-
ble girls to be in charge, but their
management will be of little value
if all of us are not composed at
the time of danger. Imagine the
panic-stricken condition of our
dormitories if every girl lost her
head at sight of a flame, and think
what would be the serious results!
Yon would not only be risking
your own life but would be self-
ishly endangering the lives of
others. Then, won’t you lend
your hearty co-operation and try
to keep a coo] head ?

WILL YOU TRY IT?
“CO-OPERATION” seems to
us to be a dreadfully ugly word;
indeed. we’d like to discover a
more pleasant one. but none can
be found in our yocabulary! If
some of our friends should ask us
to tell them of a quality, a price-
less possession, which is necessary
in every club, every society, every
organization, we would loudly ex-

elain: “*CO-OPERATION !”°
Does IT have the most trifling
meaning for you, kind readers?
Oh! Do let’s see that IT should
have some importance attached to
IT! There’s nothing under the
sun produces a happy. ““putfed-ap
and proud” general more quickly

THE AGONISTIC

lthan he who has his soldiers’ obe-
| dience—he who makes them *‘ pull
together.’’ This is intended for a
very broad hint, for The Agonistic
knows that without the ‘‘friendly
bond’ which links the staff closer,
there’d be no work done. If we
practice this excellent principle of
“CO-OPERATION” in big affairs
we might try to do it in the very
least of them, mightn’t we?

DARTMOUTH’S INAUGURA-
TION,

Inauguration exercises for Er-
uest Martin Ilopkins, Dartmouth’s
inew president, will take place Fri-
day morning. The number of
delegates has been limited as far
as possible, but there will be rep-
resentatives of the fellowship of
the New England colleges and of
Dartmouth’s immediate historical
contemporaries; invitations have
also been extended to a few insti-
tutions which seem closely akin to
Dartmouth in the nature of their
foundation or in their develop-
ment and progress.

The alumni body has been in-
vited as a whole, but it is probable
that the number in attendance
will not be great. For this reason
special delegates have been ap-

pointed, among whom are the
members of the alumni council,

the officers of the alunini associa-
tion, the president of the class
secretaries’ association, and the
president of the Thayer and medi-
cal societies. Owing to the impos-

official delegates have been ap-
pointed, who will represent the un-
dergraduates at all the exercises

frankly upon the side of the Cen-
tral Powers. Their leader, Senor
Maura, made a speech to the Con-
servative party in whieh he de-
élared for a neutrality actively
benevolent to the Allies.

Mr. Wilson, in answer to the
Republican eriticism of his foreign
policies, says: ‘‘Am I not right
that we must draw the conclusion
that if the Republican party is put
into power at the next election
our foreign policy will be radically
changed? I can not draw any
other inference. All our present
foreign policy is wrong, they say,
and if it is wrong and they are
men of conscience, they must
change it. \jAnd if they are goi
to change i
they going! to change it?

“There is only one choice as
against peace, and that is war.
Some ofthe supporters of that
party, a very great body of the
supporters of that party, out-
spokenly declare that they want
war, so that the certain prospect
of the success of the Republican
party, is that we shall be drawn
in one form or another into the
enbroilments of the European war,
and that to the South of us the
force of the United States will be
used to produce in Mexico the
kind of law and order which some
American investors in Mexico con-
sider most to their advantage.”

THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.

What sport are you going in
for this year? First, there’s bas-
ket-ball, one of the very best, and
the class teams need more girls,
so show your loyalty by trying

out. Even if you have never
played before Mrs. Parry will
take pleasure in coaching you.

The practice hours are posted on
the bulletin board in Agnes Scott
hall, so find out when your class
team is to play and come out and
help them. The Irregulars have
enough girls for one team,
haven't anybody to play against.
Six more at least are needed from

‘ithe Irregulars to sign up before

any practice for them can start.
If you don't know how to play.
come out, anyway. You will be
given an opportunity to learn.

Secondly. there is the swimming
pool and open all the time. We
grant that it is a little small, but
it’s a fine place in which to learn
to swim and furnishes quite a bil
of fun and sport,

Then, tennis is a good, satisfy-
ing sort’ of sport to go in for.
There is a board in Main building
Where you can reserve the courts.
We are going to try to have two
big tournaments this vear—a fall
one and a spring one—and, also,
minor class tournaments.

Hail, All Hail, to Thee,.O Sophomores

Recent Events

Important News.

The outstanding feature of the.

military operations of the past
week has been the crumpling up
of the Roumanian invasion of
Transylvania. That this was an
imprudent adventure. hastily en-
tered on by Roumania against the
advice of her allies, is now pretty
generally admitted. The retreat.
the begmning of which we re-
corded last week, has continued
along the greater part of the line
to the frontier. A strong counter-
offensive started by the Rouma-
nians at the end of the week af-
forded momentary hopes that not
only might von Falkenhayn’s
forces be held off from Roumanian
soil, but also that some considera-
ble portion of the invaded terri-
tory of Transylvania might be re-
tained; but apparently the Teu-
tonic sweep was too strong. Only
on the Southern section of the line
has a determined stand been made
in Transylvania. Along the rest
of this front the retreat has car-
ried the Roumanian forces back.
to their own frontier. where, ac-
cording to the latest news as we)
write, the line holds.

the C ‘arso pineat, and i in eh Tyen-
tino. has been productive of good
results, both in positions taken and
in prisoners captured. From Salo-
nica, Gen. Sarrail’s progress may
appear unduly slow, in view of

the urgency of Roumania’s need,

but at Verdun the French high
command showed itself patient
and not to be hurried into meas-
res prematurely undertaken, and
it is possible that the gradual
‘‘nocketing’’ by the British of
Seres and the slow progress of the
Servians towards Monastir are but
preparatory to the big drive that
is to come when all is ready, A’
contemplated Russian offensive in
Bukawine appears to have been
anticipated by von Falkenhayn
who, aided by his railway system.
was able to mass troops near the
Roumania frontier and throw the
Russians back.

The submarine ‘‘erisis’’ of last
week has apparently diminished,
for the time being at any rate, to.
the proportions of a ‘‘seare.’’ The
activities of the U-53 seem to have)
been confined to the sinkings re-
ported in the first eestasy of de-
struction, and these, in the view
of the administration, so far as
that view can be estimated, appear
to have heen accomplished within
the limits prescribed by a liberal
interpretation of eruiser warfare.

In a recent bulletin of the De-
partment of Health of New York
is a statistical item of special in-
terest. It is that which tells of
the low rate of infant mortality in
New York City during the first
thirty-seven weeks of this vear—
ending September 23—in spite of
the epidemic of poliomyelitis.
The total number of deaths of
children under one year of age
was less by 942 than in the cor-
responding period of last year:

Investiture Service Agnes Scott Alumnae Please Read This!

One of the Most Impressive Events
of the Year,

On Thursday, October 26th, the
student body met in the chapel at
one o'clock to witness the Senior
investiture service. For several
years this event has been made
perhaps the most impressive of
the school year. signifying. as it
does, the outward sign of Senior-
hood and ‘‘the beginning of the
end.”’

Promptly at one o’clock the
academic procession started.
First, the faculty, in their official
insignia—a sight which never fails
to impress us with the dignity of
learning. Following the
came the Sophomores, dressed in
white. They filled in the last seats
on each row, thus making a white
isle, down which the Seniors
passed, wearing their academic
gowns and carrying their caps.
To the solemn music of our Agnes
Seott hymn, ‘‘ Ancient of Days,”’
the pre session entered the chapel.

class, Dr.
address of the occasion, speaking.
in the most interesting and impres-

sive manner, of the importance
‘and significance of investiture in
the college life at Agnes Scott.

Contrary to the usual custom,
the class did not occupy the stage,
but following the form used at
commencement, went up, one at a
time, and were invested by the
Dean. After each girl of the long
line—forty in all—had passed _ be-
fore the Dean and received her
mark of Seniorhood, the reces-
sional was played and the proces-
sion retired in reverse order.

It seems that the year has really
begun when we see another Senior
class started on its way. For the
first time ‘‘Being a Senior”’ shows
itself to the Freshmen as some-
thing more than a few privileges
—it is a grave responsibility, it is
something well worth the three
years of hard work preceding.

TRIANGULAR DEBATE.

After a good deal of discussion |

Wesleyan has agreed to debate
Williams and Amherst in the an-
nual fall debate on the following
subject: ‘*Resolved, That the pub-
lic revenues, State, county, munici-
pal and district, should be raised
by the taxation of land valnes ex-
clusive of improvements and no
other tax or charge should be im-
posed.’’ It had been previously
planned to hold the fall debate in
Springfield, but owing to the late
opening of Amherst and Williams
this plan had to be given up. The
debates will accordingly be held
in the respective colleges about a
week before Christmas. Wesleyan
has a very good nucleus from Jast
year’s team. It is composed of

Capt. Cram. ‘17, Maedonald, ‘19,

GAMMA TAU ALPHA.

Its Splendid Aim.

During these early months of
college life, the Freshmen are de-
luged with organizations with
which they must 2ecome familiar.
Practically all of “‘A. S. C.’s”
student activities have been
brought to the Freshman public
eye with the exception of our
“Gamma Tau Alpha Honor Soei-
ety.”

Now, this society was founded
some years ago by the Phi Beta
Kappa members of the society.
Though purely local in nature,
this organization is of the utmost
importance. Its aim is to create

the highest attainable standard of)

scholarship in thy college and to
promote a greater interest in stu-
dent activities. Therefore, a girl
who has made a sufficiently high
scholastic standing and who has
taken an active part in the student
movements is eligible for member-
ship in Gamma Tau Alpha. Its
pin is the symbol of the greatest

honor conferred at A. S. C. The
students, at least, can strive for’

this honor though it be seemingly
unattainable, for it is truly worth
while.

At a very recent meeting, the
jJamma Tau Alphe Honor Society

An Open Letter to Student Asso-
ciations.

You remember the “‘ Fable with
a Moral.’’ sent you last May—
about the college that owned but
one text-book for all its classes.
and finally fell into a thousand
year trance and woke up corres-
pondingly behind the times?

And you remember that
moral was that this October, from
the 23rd to the 28th, we are to
have a campaign for ‘‘The Asso-
ciation Monthly.”’ (If you can’t

the

fit it into your Association calen-
dar, ask us to arrange for other

dates when you will still be eligi-
ble to the conditions.)

‘

Ilow to earry over ‘*conference
spirit’? into your Association this
year—isn’t that what your cabi-
net is wanting most?

Is it possible that the vitality
of your Association’s hfe and
work is strongly influenced by the
number of your members who take
and read their own copies of the
national Association magazine?

Of all our great paeusesleD
only 5,000 now take **The Asso-
ciation Monthly.’’ (Study the

October issue—a splendid Confer-
ence Number, by the way—for an
analysis of this situation and Tor
appealing : arguments for the cam-
paign.) Only to double this num-
ber—10,000 subseribers by next
summer—seems a reasonable goal
to begin with. Its success depends
upon the start made in this Cam-
paign Week.

Turn the page and read about
the Three-numbers-thrown-in Of-
fer and the Christmas Package
Offer—how you can get five
Christmas presents if you partici-
pate in this week.

Hereafter the magazine will eon-
tain an Honor Roll of names and
places which are outstanding in

PLANS.

At the last meeting of the Ath-
letic Association a discussion arose
over the disposal of a sum of
$50.00 left in the treasury from
last year. No definite plan was
adopted, but the proposal was
made that be used as a
““starter’’ for a new swimming
pool fund. The Association feels
that no one thing would accom-
plish as much towards the revival
of athletic spirit as the installa-
tion of a larger, more adequately
equipped pool. It would practi-
cally mean the opening of a new
field of sport for the students,
since the present pool is so small

Soph-F resh “Contest
of Wits”

Soph Victory.

Alas, the much talked of Sopho-

more-Freshman Contest of Wits
was held last Saturday night in
the chapel! On account of so°

much rivalry whieh exists between
the classes of 1919 and 1920, both
of the contestants made every
effort possible to win the ‘‘ Black
Cat.”” Everybody in school was
interested so naturally just before
the curtain rose there were many
yells, class songs and the like.
The Juniors were yelling and pull-
ing for the Freshmen, while the
Seniors were boosting, praising
and standing nobly by the Sophs.
When the first notes of the piano
sounded a hush fell on the entire
audience. The Freshmen had_ he-
gun their stunts! From two op-
posite doors of the chapel the class
of 1920, divided in two long lines,
entered. They each carried a
Freshman pennant and were sing-
ing their class song. After mareh-

ing around the chapel they stood
in rows in front of the audience,
an

a Freshm:
‘was the
the elass: p
Sophomore Rules.” Thus ended
the Freshman contest. The deadly
silence was now broken by ap-
plause and yells from the different
classes. In a few moments the
curtain rose again and the Sophs
presented very effectively as their
contest, ‘‘Everie College Girle.”’
The theme of this play is as fol-
lows: Girle trying to choose be-
‘tween Man and B.A. Degree. She
flips a coin and B.A. Degree be-
comes the hero—Man the villain.
Instead of an engagement ring
B.A. Degree gives girle a pair of
glasses through which she sees
college life. Girle then enters
college where she experiences all
of college hardships and _ pleas-
ures. After she has been awarded
her sixty hours of eredit and is
marrying B.A. Degree, Common
Sense tells her to remove her
glasses. She no longer sees B.A.
Degree’s side of life but instead
Man becomes her Hero. The wed-
ding continues. Man her hero—
and B.A. Degree the villain. Thus
the show is ended. In between
acts the Sophomore orchestra fur-
nished musie for the oc¢easion.
Again the sister classes of the
Sophs and Freshmen yell. In a
few moments Mr. Johnson an-
nouneed the decision of the judges
—giving the Freshmen honorable
mention and the Sophomores the
**Blaek Cat.”’

Below are the programs given
out by the contesting classes.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1916.
PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS !

27,

ONE DAY’S DEEDS.

Sometimes our friends like for
us to be cheerful, sometimes they
prefer us when we are meditative ;
to-day, we ask them to let us be
serious! As this last adjective is
printed, we hear a little murmur,
a tiny sigh from our good readers.
Leave off your sighing and guess
What is that which perplexes us.

Yes, it is studying on Sunday!
Upper classmen, under classmen,
give heed to these lines. For the
sake of our A, S. C. atmosphere
and her fair name. the note of
warning is sounded to you. Let
us turn from ‘‘this funeral ora-
tion;"’ let us ask ourselves the ar-
euments against ‘Sunday Study.’’

In the first place, every human
being here needs absolute rest on
Sunday. Rest in body is worth
so. pete little if it he not aceom-

amied by mental repose. ‘*The
eternal grind** works slowly, but
it makes us exceedingly tired.
Little Gan we foresee the conse-
quences of endless brain fatigue
during every day and every hour.
While girls may be machines, they
require oiling—a new vigor, once
in a while,

Though these arguments have
been far from convincing, we trust
that they are lingering on your
memory pads. May they soon be
indelibly impressed thereon! A
less selfish, a more altruistic mo-
tive for our ceasing to study on
Sunday concerns our example to
others. People, you can’t live in
the world and heedlessly shrug
your shoulders and say: ‘That
doesn’t hurt me, why should I
think of others?’’ You are mem-
bers of a great manufactory which
trams out goods of all sorts, shapes
and colors. Because you happen
to be of a good firm weave, it
doesn't follow that your neighbor
or your roommate is like you.
Wait just a minute—perhaps in
ALS. C. there are folks whose
parents at home heartily disap-
prove of the preparation of
“school Jessons** on Sunday. Per-
haps your actions will make a
girl do things which are contrary
to home ideals and home training.
Become your ‘“‘sister’s keeper’
this very moment! Freshmen,
Sophs, Juniors, Seniors, spice your
deeds with some of that delicate
seasoning, ‘‘common — sense.”’
Don’t postpone your school work
until the seventh day of the week.
for you will be weary. for you
will probably shatter the lofty
ideals of a dweller close by you.
Won’t you try to remember these
words next Sunday?

CLASS SPIRIT.

Girls, did you know that ab-

stract terms have the greatest
meaning and that intangible

things have the greatest intrinsic
value? We could think of a

thousand abstract terms and each|a little bit closer to the girl next| captured and~made prisoner by) lightful afternoon Thursday horse- 113.

one of them would stand for a

>|

great deal. Now, however, we
shall discuss only one, but a very
important one in our college life.
Can't you guess what it is?—our
title tells you, class spirit. With
the mention of that word, immedi-
ately a score of other expressions
flock to our minds, viz.: enthusi-
asm, loyalty, ambition, co-opera-
tion, ete. No doubt some of us
lack these qualities. Well, girls.
if we do, we've missed something
and we'll have to get busy and
develop them. If we don’t we are
unfair to ourselves and to our
class. We have no right to re-
main in a class that we are not
willing to work for and support.
We can’t all play basket-ball and
debate, ete., but we ought to do
what we can and then loyally sup-
port those who do the things we
can't do. We know we can do
something. so if we haven't yet
tried out for anything. let's get
busy and try. It’s not too late,
the scholastic year is just begun.
We may not sueceed wonderfully
at first but our efforts will con-
tribute largely to the success of
the class as a whole, for after all
“it’s not what we are but what
we strive to be” that really counts
in the long run. Just let the class
know that we're behind her and
ready to back up anything worth
while that she attempts. We must
not only be enthusiasti¢e and loyal.
but we must co-operate—each
member not working for her own
selfish interests, but for the wel-
fare of the class as a whole. Our
class can’t be a success without
hearty co-operation. If we are
thoroughly imbued with class
spirit. it will fairly beam out on
our faces and we'll be willing to
exert any effort for the better-
ment of our class.

MR. CLARK SPEAKS!

Thursday night, our regular
prayer meeting night, found us
with a most interesting speaker,
Mr. Clark. a missionary from Ku-
rea. Mr. Clark not only gave a
most delightful talk about some of
the customs and traditions of Ko-
rea, but he had with him a whole
suit-case full of Korean curios.

The facts which he brought
forth concerning the truth that
the electric light does not bring
the ‘‘Spiritual Light.’’ made it
evident to us how great is the need
of our help and support in sending
missionaries to the lands where
civilization has been scattered to
teach them how they might use it.
Without the Christian code of
morals this foreign country is like
a little child holding a burning
torch whieh destroys itself and its
surroundings.

The girls who stayed after the
service to see the curios found
many interesting things in Mr.
lark’s colleetion. Besides the
Korean costume there were odd
pieces of brass and china with a
whole set of little pasteboard dolls
illustrating the Korean dress of
the different classes and orders.

We were interested in Mr, Clark
not only for the message he
| brought to us of a far-away land
lbut because he brought us news
of the girls who have gone out
\from Agnes Seott and who are
working with him in Korea.

ANOTHER BACON-BAT!

“Spott and Anne’s table’ gave
a bacon-bat Tuesday night and of
lall the good times going, we cer-
tainly had one. It was at Ice
Cream Springs, of course, and
everybody sat around the bon-fire
and toasted marshmallows, cooked
weiners, sang songs and told jokes
and had an all-around glorious
time. Then. when the ‘‘feast’’
was over and the embers dying
low, one or two of us waxed bold
enough to tell ghost stories and, |

recently. ¢ Peculiar inei-

sion, and all in one week, One
night everyone was alarmed by a
loud erash on third floor. A few
curious girls rushed into a room
expecting to see thirty-five cents
due on an eleetrice light bulb. Im-
agine their surprise when they
discovered that not only was the
room minus an ocenpant, but the
transom was shattered into tiny
bits of glass and scattered all over
the floor. Can you explain this?

room. On account of the queer
incident of the previous night

many were afraid to venture near
the victim. After a few moments
two or three brave girls decided
to go to her resene. The panic-
stricken Caroline greeted them
with the uneanny news that she
had seen a man’s face peering into
jher window. Can we doubt her
word, but girls, who was it?
The very next night ‘‘Crip”
Slack had just ventured out on
the colonnade from Rebekah Scott
lobby when, to her utter amaze-
‘ment she saw—well, can you
guess’—two masculine figures go-
ing into the back entrance of Re-
bekah Seott. She fairly flew up
to second floor to inform Margaret
Pruden of the fact. They, with a
few others, came down and peered
cautiously around. They could
see no signs of-any one then, but
just the same there were five
young damsels who would run no
risks. ‘‘Sleepy’’ Witherspoon and
Dot Mitchell gathered up all their
costly jewels and came down to
spend the night with Claire Elliot,
Dorothy Moore and Virginia Lan-
caster in a room with the dresser
plastered securely against a locked
door. We can’t blame them much.
but this is not solving the mys-
tery. Who'll volunteer?

OUR FRIENDS
THE COLLEGES

650 IN SMITH ENTERING
CLASS.

Although the formal opening of
Smith College did not take place
until Thursday morning, many
Freshmen and upperclassmen have
been in Northampton for several
days. Entrance examinations
started Monday and a committee
of the Smith college association
for Christian work has had girls
from the upper classes wearing
S. G. A. C. W. badges at the sta-
tion to meet all incoming trains
and to give the first welcome to
the class of 1920. The new class
is the largest in the history of the
college, and at present registers
about 650 members. An unusual
number of parents and friends
have come to Northampton for the
opening days, and the streets,
filled with motor cars bearing the
license numbers of all the Eastern

States, present almost as festive|

an appearance as at commence-
ment time.

The chapel doors closed Thirs-
day morning on an audience of
students, parents and friends that
taxed the seating capacity of John
M, Greene hall to its cutmost and

spiration for thie work of the com-
ing year, and to the new girls;
because it is the first glimpse of a
new world, holding forth much
promise of happy college friend-
ships and opportunities for intel-
lectual development.

After the usual devotional ex-
ercise President Burton in behalf} +
of the trustees and the faculty
extended a hearty welcome to stu-
dents and guests. In regard to
fhe postponement for two weeks
of the opening of Smith College,
the following plan has been
adopted: Recitations are to be
held on Mountain day, the 12th.
the days before and after Thanks-
giving, the Wednesday between
semesters and the first two days
of the Easter recess, Mareh 29 and
30. By this plan it is hoped that
the work of the year may be com-

pleted and the postponement of

commencement in June avoided.

President Burton’s address to
the students followed logically his
memorable talk at-the beginning
of last year on college standards.
‘<“Tlow to work at college’* was the
problem set forth in an earnest
appeal to Smith College students
to start out.on the new year with
a determination for increased
scholarship and a desire to **learn
how to learn.’’

At the close of the address the
audience rose as the strains of the
alma mater song came from the
organ, and the girls old and new
joined in the singing. Florence
Smith, °17. of Normal, Ill... the
council president, and Dorothy
Ross, “17, of East Moline, [l., the
senior class president, led the
march of the students out of
chapel. Yesterday was devoted to
consultations with the faculty and
registration of the upper classes,
with regular recitations for all

was throughout his political e:

reer, a representative of the con-
servative and land-owning inter-
ests. As such he was a leader in
the fight against the introduction
of universal suffrage in Austria in
1907, in w! ch the most prominent
figure on the other side was Victor
Adler, leader of the Socialist party
and father of the assassin of Count
} Stuergkh. While the murderer’s
action may thus be traced to old
political enmities, the act in itself
seems to be the expression only of a
violent and apparently unbalanced
} personality. The Socialist pasty.
junder the direction of Adler, is
} distinct from the anarchist prop-
aganda with which the younger
H Adler associated himself and
} which was combated by his own
i father, If it were not for the
idiosyncrasies of the militant anar-
chist mentality, which so often di-
Hvects its acts of violence without
cause or reason, one might read a
political meaning in the assassina-
tion. There is certainly enough
discontent in Austria to explain
the act. The wonder is that dur-
‘ing the twenty-seven months in
Wwihieh all Enrope has been given
over to violence, no individual act
of the kind should have intervened
between the murder of Juares and
the murder of the Austrian Pre-
mer,

Sir Douglas Haig’s reply to an
élaborate statement issued in Ber-
lin on Sept. 17, designed to show
the failure of the British offensive
on the Somme, came at the end of
last week, when the British made

a considerable advance along a
three-mile front between the

Schwaben Redoubt and Le Sars, a
section of the front which had
successfully resisted British as-
saults at the beginning of the
offensive in July. <A thousand
} German prisoners were taken in
ithe course of the engagement.
The French have made good their
occupation of Sailly-Saillisel, of
which they held only a part last
week, and they also occupy the
whole Charlnes-Wood, where they
gained a footing a fortnight ago.

On the Rumanian front the
center of interest is again in Do-
brudja. Von Falkenhagen’s drive,
which had brought him to the
frontiers of Rumania and at points
upon Rumanian soil, was rolled
back with the aid of Russian re-
inforcements. Halted on the
Transylvanian front, the Germans
immediately resumed the initiative
in Dobrudja. There Von Macken-
sen’s troops have gained a remark-
able victory. On his center and
right, Mackensen has captured
Cobadin and Constanza, Ru-
mania’s one seaport, and is well
astride the Cernavoda-Constanza
} railway. The Rumanians seem to
have offered determined resistance
} on their right wing, protecting the
bridge over the Danube at Cern-
avoda, but that place is seriously
threatened as we write.

there was a tendency to collect

held a potent charm for the ladies.

handsome Harrison Fisher man
who reposed at the bottom of the
well, and who would not be thank-
ful for the ninety-ninth place in
the line waiting to catch a true
glimpse of the future. Were
these the only attractions?
Heavens, no! There was the
‘“Chamber of. Horrors.’’ contain-
ing three of famous Bluebeard’s
wives, a ghastly crew, just as he
had arranged them, hanging by
their hair from the ceiling, and
displaying no signs of life (save
when peanuts came their way!)
And speaking of peanuts, how
many bushels did the fat lady con-
sume? She and her skeleton self,
and bottle of ‘‘poison’’ occupied
an important booth in the **Cham-
ber of Ilorrors.’’ and ‘*before and
after taking’? was well demon-
strated.

Then there was the lake, beau-
tiful in the ‘‘moonlight,’’ which
contained the body of the murder-
ed maiden. Her hand, of magnifi-

cent proportions, and gleaming
white, uprose from the lake. No,
she did not brandish a sword
‘“excalibur.’’ but from the size

of her hand, she could steer sev-
eral British ‘‘tanks’’ with ease.
Her spirit hovered over the pool ¢

and moaned unceasingly. Even
the peanuts, apples and candy,
which were served at intervals

during the evening could not ap-
pease her. But all attractions
were suspended during the mad
hunt for the ‘‘fairy slippers,’
which proved to be (oh, shades of
Cinderella) a huge pair of
goulashes which we are proud to
say. are ‘‘home products.”

Of course, we had ghost stories,
several good ones. which were
loudly applauded. Needless to
say, the lights were very dim; so
dim, in faet, that only the

A RECENT ELECTION,

Off For Mt. Holyoke!

On Saturday morning, the stu-
dent body elected Miss Samille

Lowe to be our Junior representa-
tive at the conference at Mt.
Holyoke, Mass. This is a meeting
of the representatives of the
standard colleges of the United
States, to which Agnes Scott was
admitted last year. Although we
have sent representatives for two
vears, we were not formally ad-
mitted to membership until last
year and it is with great pride that
we send our first real delegates.
Ilere all matters concerning stu-
dent government will be discuss-
ed and the advantage and disad-
vantage of all forms and rules
pertaining to it. Miss Jane Har-
well, president of Student Govy-
ernment, is, of course, our Senior
representative, and she, with Miss
Samille Lowe, will leave on the
sixteenth of November, as the
conference is to be held on the
eighteenth and nineteenth of that
month. We know we shall
proud of the showing Agnes Scott
will make and we are looking for
great things in the form of new
ideas and inspiration from our
two delegates.

students at Agnes Scott is the
recent Hoase election. Member-
ship in Hoase is one of the high-
est honors that come to a girl ait
Agnes Scott. We wish fosextend
our heartiest congratulations to
the new members: Miss Janet
Newton, Miss Regina Pinkston,
Miss Agnes Donaldson, Miss Geor-
giana White and Miss Louise
Ware. We are sure that each one
of these girls will be a- valuable
addition toe the Hoase member
ship.
As an advisory committee three
members of the faculty were
elected: Dr. Sweet, Miss Cady
and Dr. MeCain. These members
are to aid in the deliberations
and plans of the society.

Hoase was started last year for

the purpose of being a clearing
house for student activities. It
is on the lookout for anything

new that would be helpful to the
life of the students; to the ad-
vancement of the college and its
relation with the outside world.

Every one of jts members are
girls who are doing big things for
Agnes Scott.

‘or a girl to be elected to mem-.

bership in Hoase, she must have
shown steadfast devotion to the
highest college ideals and to have
made some actual achievement
along the lines of student activi-
ties, for example, student govern-
ment, Y. W. C. A., athletics, or
on the college publications. She
must always have at heart the
best interests of her Alma Mater.

While it is a comparatively re-
cent organization, Hoase has
already justified itself, for it has
ace omplished much since last
year. The influence of such an
organization which stands for the
best, has done much to promote
that which is best and highest in
the girls at Agnes Seott. Tloase,
while it has done big things,
planning even greater things for
this year. and for the years to
come.

girls who are taking an active

here, and who are leaders in the

tion something that will soon be

will be of real interest to all.

Are you a Democrat, Republi-

No matter to what political party

and work for your candidate.

Monday night, November the 6th,
is the time that has been set aside
this year for Agnes Scott’s presi-
dential election.

Be honest, girls; just how many
of you know exactly how the

President of the United States is
elected? If you don’t know, it
is vastly important that you come
and find out; if you do know,
show your superiority by getting
up spirit for the election. There
will be stump speeches by certain
enthusiastic politicians. Agnes S.
Donaldson will be on a dry-goods
box declaring unto you why every
patriotic American should vote
for Ilughes. Margaret Rowe will
tell the hyphenated voters what
candidate it is to their interest to
support. Olive Hardwick will

spare neither stump nor audience
vhen she urges the student body
Wilson

It will all be immensely inter-

For the election will be held in
our college world, exactly as it is
held in the big world around us.
A telegram reading ‘‘You are
elected President of the United
States by Agnes Scott College,”’
will be sent from the student body
to the successful candidate. If you
want that telegram to go to Wil-

the Hughes people will surely

the Socialists or Prohibitionists
may surprise them by coming out

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS !

DR. J. R. McCAIN’S TALK.

At the annual investiture ser-
vices held in the chapel on last
Thursday, Dr. McCain delivered
a very impressive address. We
are all interested in what Dr, Me-
Cain has to say, because he always

keeps the interests of om grand |

old college in view. The general
theme that ran throughout his
speech was greater Agnes Scott.
or rather growing Agnes Scott.
Perhaps there could have been no
more appropriate occasion than

this, to make a speech with this|

theme, since the investiture
ices marked the
another large body of Seniors. In
a very striking illustration he
compared our college to a grow-
ing child and made the remark
that. as a child grows in size it
must have new clothes. Ile gave
a very interesting history of the
explamed How it started
as the Decatur Female Seminary,
then through many financial diffi-
culties enlarged into Agnes Scott!
Institute, and in time, hecame
the great Agnes Seott College of
to-day. This brought us to the
intense realization that our
lege not only has grown but is
still growing every year. ts at-
fendance is larger, its standards
higher, and its aspirations great-
er. This being the case, Dr. Me-
Cain said that our college needs
new clothes as it has outgrown the
old ones.

sery-

about? Tlow can we supply her
needs? Only through endow-

ment. We need a large endow-
ment fund with which to bwuild-a
new dormitory, to equip a new

gymnasium, and new class rooms,

and to buy more breathing space. |

Dr. McCain was not complaining
but was only endeavoring to
bring the ever-increasing needs of
growing Agnes Scott before the
eves of the many interested in her
success and welfare.
Was instructive because it ac-
quainted many of us, hitherto ig-
norant of it, with.the history .of

Agnes Seott since its early in-
fancy. It was entertaining be-

cause of the striking illustrations
and examples used, and it also
served as a gentle reminder to all
of us that our college must have
help if it continues to grow and
render greater service to God and
humanity, It is our own college

and if we are interested in it we}

should likewise he interested in
its advancement and in satisfying
its needs. Dr.
ed to impress these facts vividly
upon our minds. and for this rea-
son we wish to thank him heartily
for his splendid address.

ON KEEPING BOOKS OPEN.

Well, in the first place we were
surprised. That we should feel the
need of speaking about such a
matter at Agnes Scott. makes it all
the more surprising, but we'll
give certain people the benefit of

recognition of

col. |

Ilow can we bring this}

This address |

MeCain’s talk serv-|

| the doubt, and we feel perfectly
sure that its mere thoughtlessness
and we believe that after your at-
tention has been called to it, it
won't happen again.

The incidents we speak of occur
both in Sociology I and Psychol-
ogy I. Almost everybody who
doesn't sit on the first or second
rows keeps her book open during
class and sometimes gives answers
which are quite interesting in
their preciseness and at other
times, still more interesting be-
cause they are evidently the an-
swers to some other question and
she has not yet located the place.
We are quite sure this is mere
thoughtlessness, but won't you
give it a thought, girls? It’s being
dishonorable in a milder way than
cheating on exams, but it’s cheat-
ing just the same, and you know
if, if you'll only give it a second
thought. We do not know whether
it goes on in other classes or not,
but it ought to stop where it does
go on. Please, everybody, stop and
think and remember where you
are when you do a thing like that.
You’re at Agnes Seott, and you
must always remember it in every
class which you attend.

mated that 3800 people are served
in that cafeteria in one day, and
vet that woman never wearies. so

that the smile is gone from her

shop-girls as they come from
work, so nervous and weary that
they can hardly speak. She is

3800 people passing her each day ;
she sees 3800 different human in-
dividuals and because she is kind
and, interested and Christian she
is emphasizing the C in Y. W.
C.

And then have you ever thought
how the character of the four let-
ters is changed by the emphasis
on the A? Tlaven’t you heard of
plenty of splendid Y. W. C, A.’s
in lots of colleges. and yet in
these Y. W. C. A.’s the cabinet
usually has nothing to do because
its thoughts are not tinged with
the (Gof “Y¥. WG: A: ‘There: is
carelessness in dress and in social
conduct. The girls spend forty
and fifty cents a day on tea rooms
and haven’t a cent to give to for-

eign missions. They — study
|Sociology and Christian Stan-
idards of Action. and yet they see
inot how they can apply their

|}knowledge to the negro servants
or the poor family of Italians be-

hind the college. They are
‘*Dagoes,’’ and the Y. W. C. A, is |

leaving out the C of Y. W. ©. A.

How can we put the emphasis 4
on the C? In the first place, the +
Finance Committee must not be
the Finance Committee of Y. W.
iC. A. which colleets the dues reg-
warly, but it must regulate the
amount of money which each girl

spends. It is not so impractical
as it seems. If a few leaders
among the girls train them by

their example how to spend money
the forty and the fifty cents will
20 to the missionaries instead of

to the bakery or the grocery.
The Religious Meetings Com-
mittee must emphasize the C by

making every meeting not merely
interesting but Christian. Every
hymn must have the spirit of the
C and every poster on the bulletin
board, too, for the bulletin board
is the barometer of a Y. W. C. A.
Social Service must be viewed
in relation to the college. It is
not enough to create a warm feel-
ing around one’s heart by the
spasmodie gifts to the poor which
may be only sentimental emotion-
alism. Social service means help-
ing in a Christian way the people
in your own college community

She does not think of

who are not so fortunate as your-
self.

Girls, let’s all try to make the
branch at Agnes Scott not a *‘Y.
Le Association, not yet a Y.

' A. but a Y. W. C. A. where
ie 6 forms the framework for
the whole association, where it
enters into our play and fun, as
well as into our work, and our re-
ligious thoughts, where it makes
social service mean unselfish serv-
member of the col-

ice to every
lege community. Let’s make the

C not only the principal part of
Y. W. ©, A. but through it the
principal part of our college life,

lege,

B. O. Z.

Ilave you wondered at these
three letters in the columns of the
college directory. They represent
an organization of the literary as-
pirants of Agnes Scott among the
upperclassmen, Once every two
weeks, these choice spirits gather,
and under the genial influence of
Dr. Armistead’s study, burn the
lamp of genius for an hour or so
together. Formidable as this may
sound, it is simply a gathering of
the girls who like to write, and it
gives greater impetus to their ef-
forts by the force of a common in-
terest,

ed an opportunity for spontaneous
writing outside of school work,
Dr. Armistead suggested such an
organization, and the elub came
into being. With only six mem-
bers at the beginning, it grew to
include others who, by submitting
specimens of their literary work,
attested their desire to write.

Among other things accomplished |

last year by the B. O. Z. were a
book review department which it
supported in the Aurora, and a
scenario for the Shakespearean
Pageant given by Agnes Seott to
celebrate the Shakespearean Cen-
tennial, As last vear was only the
first year of its existence, the B.
O. Z. is planning greater things
for 1916-17.

Much interest in the B. O. Z. has
been shown among the literary-
inclined who are not yet mem-
bers. Among the applications for
membership. two have been ac-
cepted. At its next meeting, the
B. O. Z. will welcome to its ranks
Miss India Tlunt and Miss Lorine
Pruette.

With such a beginning and so
promising an outlook, can we ex-
pect anything less than great
things from the B..O. Z. in the
coming year?

dined afterw ards in the Mnemosy- |

pared for them a most delicious
lunch and the tables were a sight |
which inspired envy within our
breasts.

This Synodical was holding its
seventh annual meeting at North
Avenue Church in Atlanta. Tf our
friends need an explanation of
what this term really means, we
Presbyterians must reply that it|
is an organization which is an|
auxiliary to the Presbyterian
Synod. From October 24-26,
these thirty or forty prominent
women in the Presbyterian Chureh
of Georgia met and discussed im-
portant plans. Though they evi-
dently attended more elaborate so-
cial functions, they expressed. to
some of our Agnes Scott ‘‘folk’’
their opinion that our college was
a delightful entertainer and we
trust that they spoke well of us
when they returmed to their own |
home towns. We are very fond
of extending our hospitality; m-)
deed, we have always such very |
attractive guests who certainly |
prove

their appreciation of our

The best hockey practice we

Current Events

News of Interest.

The Nation: No Nov. 2, 1916.

The two outstanding events of
the pentltimate week of the Presi-
dential campaign have been Secre-
tary Baker’s statement in regard
to Mexican plotting on the Ameri-
can side of the border and the
bembshell exploded by Senator
Lodge. The explosion, which took
place at Brockton, Mass.. on Octo-
ber 26, has reverberated far.
Senator Lodge asserted that to the
second Lusitania note of June 9,
President Wilson had added a
postscript, after the note had been
approved by the Cabinet, in which
he assured the German govern-
ment that the strong phrases of
the ‘‘strict accountability’’ note
were not to be taken too seriously
and that the matter might be re-
ferred to arbitration. The matter
coming to the ears of the Cabinet,
some of its members threatened to
resign and the postseript was de-
leted, the deletion causing Mr.
Bryan's resignation,

The matter was disposed of on
Monday when President Wilson
issued a statement denying the
accuracy of Senator sLodge’s
charge and explaining, what many
had already surmised, that all the

pother about a suveestion Of “ore | aiso wrentions

member of the Cabinet’’ (doubt-
less Mr, Bryan) that an intimation
be conveyed to the German gov-
ernment that a proposal of arbi-

tration would be acceptable. The
suggestion was, of course,
jected.

Recent activities of German sub-
marines afford grounds for fear
that this question may come up
again to plague the government.
A serious situation may be created
by the sinking of two British
ships, the Marina and the Rowan-
more, by a German submarine off
the Irish coast. The former, a
vessel that had been used for ear-
rying horses but was not appa-
rently under contract to the Brit-
ish government, was sunk on the
afternoon of October 28. Acecord-
ing to information described as
“provisional’’ by American Con-
sul Frost at Queenstown, the Ma-
rino was sunk by gunfire without

yarnine. In the crew of 104 there
were forty-nine Americans, some
of whom may have lost their lives,
since, as we write, thirteen of the
company are still missing. From
Mr. Frost also has been received
a report of the sinking of the
Rowanmore on October 26, after
a chase of fifty minutes, at the end
of which the captain signalled his

surrender. In the crew were seven
Americans, including five Fili-

pinos. Some of these have made
affidavit that the submarine con-
tinued shelling the ship after she
had surrendered and also shelled
the boats after they had got clear.
The vindictive choosing: out of
Norwegian ships for destruction
has been continued, at least a
score of Norwegian vessels having
been sent to the bottom since last

week. Indignation in Norway is
intense.

Miss Trebein’s Book

Our Congratulations to Her!

We are always intensely inter-
ested in what the different mem-)
bers of our faculty are doing in
the educational world. We feel
this deep interest not only for the
faculty members themselves, but
also because we feel that whatever

great work they may do, that is
worthy of note, will give our col-
lege greater recognition in the

world of learning. It is interest-
ing to note that they do not nar-
row themselves down to the work
of the college alone, great as this
work is. but they strive to give
forth to the world whatever
knowledge they have gained. Re-
cently Miss Bertha E. Trebein,
Ph.D., the Professor of German at
Agnes Seott, has written a book.
the title of which is: ‘*Theodore
Fontaine as a Critic of the
Drama.’" Miss Trebein has dedi-
eated this book to the beloved
memory of her father. In the
preface she thoughtfully mentions
those to whom she is indebted, in
being instrumental in the success
of her literary production. Here

‘Social Service’’ Program!

The service Sunday night was
led by the members of the Social
Service Committee and was inter-
esting to us mainly because it told
us in a direct and practical way
means by which we ean do some
very direct and practical work.
Miss India Hunt, the chairman of|
the committee, gave the object of)
the meeting and she was followed |
by the different members of the)
committee who took up the dif-
ferent branches of the work and
explained how we might really)
help in this great social work.

First there is the Wesley House,
where girls are needed to teach
cooking and sewing, then the Crip-

Tech-Tulane Game
A. 8S. C.’s Thanks.

Last Saturday afternoon Geor-
gia=Teeh-afferdod many ef our
girls quite a bit of pleasure by
extending an invitation to the
faculty and students to attend the
Tech-Tulane game, It is needless
to say that the game was thor-
oughly enjoyed by all those who
attended, From the score, which
was 45 to 0, in favor of Tech, it is
quite evident that the Tech men
outplayed the Tulane men in every
respect. This was not due to the
fact that Tulane’s team was. in-
ferior to Tech’s men in weight
and gain, but they were not able
to resist Tech’s line-ap. Albert
Ifill and ‘‘Strup’* starred—aAlbert
making a pretty eighty-yard gain
while *‘Strup’’ made the first
touchdown. ‘‘Pep’’ was added to
the game by the loyal, yvellow-
capped Freshinen rooters and by
the ever-playing Tech band. The
Agnes Scott giris appreciate this
courtesy shown them and wish to
thank Tech for their kindness.

EDUCATION CLUB FORMED.

On Tuesday night an altogether
new thing was started at Agnes

at the suggestion of Mr. Turner,
for all psychology and education
classes. Everyone was enthusias-
tic and is anxious for the first real
meeting. These meetings are to

'be held onee a month and there

will be given lectures on subjects
of educational interest. The lee-
tures will be delivered by promi-
nent men, whom Mr, Turner hopes
to procure and will be greatly en-
joyed by all interested in eduea-
tional matters. Miss Louise Roach
was elected as the first president
of our new club and we hope that
under her gnidance it will prove
beneficial and enjoyable. Girls.

Dr. Gaines’ Sermon Democrats Win Out

A Splendid Address.

On Sunday, November 4,
Gaines delivered an ‘Agnes Scott
Sermon” to the people of North
Avenue Chureh. Most
of the faculty and a large part of
the student body were present and
enjoyed the direct and thorough
way in which Dr. Gaines presented
his subject, ‘“The Value of Agnes
Scott as the Force for
Good,’’ a subject which is always
lying hearts, for it
dealt with a greater Agnes Scott.

The body of the sermon was di-
vided into four main parts which
proved the statement that Agnes
Scott has an unspeakable yalue as
the foree for good in the South-
fact the whole

members

College

nearest our

land, and in to
United States.

Agnes Scott IS a foree for good
it prepares the trained,
efficient mind which is the ruler in
the workshop of the world. It is

because

a foree for good because it is a
Christian college. Many of the

colleges of our day and time are
undermining— the— fairch—of
young men and women, and be-
cause it is woman’s era it is a vital
and necessary measure that the
womans’ college turn out Christ-
ian, efficient minds who will lead
and dominate.

Then Agnes Scott is a college of
liberal arts. By its acknowledged
standing among the twelve lead-
ing colleges of the United States

for women it has proved that and
by the fruits of its work. Agnes

Scott girls have filled places in the
home, as teachers and as foreign
missionaries as well as having en-
gaged in chureh work of all kinds
and have shown the fruits of their
training.

Agnes Seott is of greatest value
to the cause of education, to the
church and to the South. <As a
force for good our college exerts
an untold influence on the sur-
rounding States and on the States
farther away which are repre-
sented, Yet all this is only pre-
paratory for a greater Agnes Neott
which can be obtained aot by any
our

one person. but by outside
friends, by the faculty and above
all bythe student body. Every

effort that we make is but a step
onward to the goal of our ideal
which is the training and the pro-

ducing of a better trained, more
efficient, more cultivated and

above all a more spiritual young
womanhood.

Agnes **Seottville’’ had — the
greatest excitement of the year
when the electoral college met in
the chapel, from seven to eight
o’elock, on the night of November
6. Throughout the afternoon ar-
dent speakers and supporters were
endeavoring to persuade the
‘folks’? on the campus that their
man was the right man,

Enthusiasm ran high when the
delegates rushed to their seats un-
der the various State standards

which floated gloriously aloft.
Cheer after cheer betrayed the

mixed feelings of these elee tors as
they clapped, sang, and yelled for
their men, Miss Cady. the chair-
man of the assembly, received a
tremendous ovation and serious-
hess reigned supreme. With a few
fitting remarks upon the neces-
sity for attention and thought, this
able chairman requested Miss
Olive Hardwick to perform her
office as secretary and announced
the speakers.

can standards of living and pro-
tection of the rights of American
citizens against all forces whatso-
ever.

‘Benson and Brotherhood”’ sent
forth their war-cry as Miss Laurie
Caldwell advocated the Socialist
nominee. This gentleman of ster-
ling worth was applauded by the
delegates for very appreciation of
his virtues and his unbiased ideas.
When Miss Caldwell ended her re-
marks, she left behind her pleas

masses, for the single-tax, for

for the Socialistie party in Ger-

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS!

ARE YOU A SONG-BIRD?

Come, let’s brace up, girls, and
show our college spirit by coming
out to step-singing, There is ab-
solutely nothing that can do more
towards creating a universal col-
lege spirit than for all the girls in
college to gather on the steps of
Main building every Friday night
immediately after prayers and
join heartily in the singing of our
college songs. And this is what
we're working for, girls——a per-
yading spirit of loyalty and en-
thusiasm for our college.

we are well on our way to the
attainment of that Greater Agnes
Scott, we hear so much about.
We, that are more passive, may
think that steép-singing has very
little power in creating that col-
lege spirit, but let’s just come out
once anyway and give it a fair
trial. Just see if one experience

When |
we reach perfection in this then}

are the very folks we're aiming
at. Ifonesitly. why can’t this bud-
get system be made efficient? For
the simple reason, we students are
not all ¢o-operating in order to
accomplish this end! Therefore,
if there are some who will not
respond, we must take active steps
against them.

When a ecustomér does not an-
swer the insistent bills which a
business firm sends him he is
dropped from their ‘‘credit’’ list.
Now. Agnes Seott student organi-
zations are firms made up of vari-
ous customers—the students. If
a few of these people refuse to
pay their bills, the budget, they
ought to be dropped from the or-
ganizations’ ‘‘credit’’ lists. Don’t
you see that this is the only way
to get “fair play ?”’

Let’s leave this explanation and
turn to the reasons why a girl
should ‘‘bob-up’’ with — the
‘““change.”’ If your conscience
doesnt hurt you, young lady, you
should, at least, take enough in-
terest in your Alma Mater’s wel-
fare to support her in every possi-
ble manner! This is a community
where the interests of the INDI-
VIDUAL MUST, to a great de-
gree, GIVE WAY TO THOSE OF
THE MAJORITY! The MA-
JORITY of the girls have an-
swered the call. What about this
thoughtless MINORITY ?

BLACKFRIARS MEETING.

Boost! Boost!

The last regular meeting of the
Blackfriars was held on Novem-
ber 3rd, at 5:00 o’cloek. On last
Saturday night the annual try-out
for Blackfriars took place, and as
a result several new members were
added to this worthy organization
that we are so proud of in our
college. At the regular meeting

on next Friday night it is the plan)

to do this. Besides this step-sing-

above all, to get up new spirit.
There are two essentials for every
organization, viz.: co-operation
and enthusiasm. To attain any

was a parade of the clowns led by
a very gay clown who in private
life is known as Miss Fannie
Oliver.

Horns, confetti, cracker-jacks,
and peanuts were sold, Every-
body had a horn and everybody
was throwing confetti, even—let
me whisper it softly—some of the
well-known and dignified members
of our faculty. Amid much blow-
ing of horns the first performance
in the ring began with Mr. Lois
Eve as ringmaster. There were
elephants, Pietro, the world-famed
monkey, and trained dogs. The
feature of the ring was Antoinette
(Miss Olive Hardwick) who with
great daring rode upon the spirit-
ed horse Bellerophon. The next
act of her performance was the
walking of a type-rope suspended
high (?) over the heads of the
spectators. The wild woman (Miss
Kila Capers Weston) next rushed
forth yelling and rattling the
chain of bones that hung around
her neck. Ter make-up was
splendid and she struck terror to
the heart of all spectators.

Six stupendous side shows were
presented outside of the ring. One
of the most attractive of these was
the Oracle where fortunes were
handed ‘‘off the iron.’’ War
babies were rescued by those who
were fortunate and bold enough.
The Katzenjammer Kastle brought
forth screams of laughter from the
people who stepped upon its mys-
terious maze. The African Hawaii-
ans were a clever parody upon
the popular Hawaiian music. The
musicians were Caroline Larendon
and Hallie Alexander. Izzie Tal-
madge as the fat lady and Annie
Leigh MeCorkle as the midget
drew a large crowd. Madam Ezee,
|the snake charmer (Julia Wal-
ker), and her wonderful snakes

drew wonder and fear respectively |

from their audience.

The clowns were Miss Rose Har-
wood, Miss Myrtis Burnett. Miss
Elizabeth Denman, Miss Fannie
Oliver; and others. During the
ring performances there was melo-

dious music rendered by the
Junior Sisters Orchestra. with

Porter Pope at the drum and Mar-
garet Leyburn at the ‘‘comb.’’

Wilson did not intend to have the

was substituting abuse for argu-

sues. For the betterment of the
American people as a whole Wil-
son stood. He it was who kept us
out of war and the legislation
which his party promulgated has
proved beneficial, ‘‘Peace, Pre-
paredness and Prosperity’’ was

ATHLETIC SONG CONTEST
AWARD.

Marguerite Davis Wins Pillow!

The Athletic Association has de-
cided that the song handed in by
Marguerite Davis was the best
and most spirited of all those sub-
mitted. The words ate well suited
to our purpose and the tune, that
of Princeton’s ‘‘Cannon Song
Mareh,’’ is one with a good swing
to it. The prize, an Agnes Scott
pillow, will be delivered to Mar-
euerite on Friday night after the
“stunts. ”’

With college spirit back of them,

They're sure to win the day,
They never look a bit afraid

When to them comes the ball,
But grab it up, and throw it back, |

Perhaps right through the wall.

Refrain :
Play! Play! for Agnes Scott
And keep the ball right to the

=—-The re-election’ of Mr, Wilson |
brings joy to the entire South—
for the whole South gave him her
solid support. It was the most
closely contested presidential elec-
tion since 1884, and one of its out-
standing features is the fact that
the President was elected against
the vote of New York, This is a
very good thing for New York
since it will show her that after
all, she can not elect the President
she desires against the wishes of
the other states.
The Nation: Nov. 9.

The United States stands to-day
in the presence of something like
a political revolution. It glares at
one from the map. The Republi-
can party is confined to a fringe of
States in the East and North.
Even in them its former hold is
broken, Look at New England.
The old assured Republican ma-
jorities are gone. Only by the
narrowest of margins was victory
won. And when we think of Ohio
and Kausas lost, and the confident
Republican ascendency in a halt

west imperilled or shattered, we)
can hardly be blind to what is

power is passing to the West in
conjunction with the South and
Southwest. It came very near
doing so visibly in Bryau’s first
campaign. If he had not had a
fatally weak issue, the thing
might have been done then. Now
it is virtually an accomplished
fact, As clearly as Monroe mark-
ed the ending of the Virginia line
of Presidents, of John Quincy
Adams that of the New England
line, the election of the present
year will be regarded by the his-
torian as having written finis to a
chapter of American political de-
velopment,

Its significance is more than
geographical. The alignment of
States on the physical map of the
eountry is only an accident. What
really tells is the spirit, the senti-
ment, the attitude behind the
grouping. The change is one of
soul, not of region. This we see
when we note how the shrunken
majorities and low estate of the
Republican party in New England
correspond to the astonishing re-

turns from Western States. It is
deep answering to) deep. The

verdict is in both sections against
the stand-pat policy of the Re-
publicans, and the sit-tight ¢cam-
paign of Mr. Hughes. In reveal-
ing the true hiding of political
power in the United States, Mr.
Wilson has shown us all that we
must roll up our political maps
and make one entirely new.
That Germany has adopted a
more relentless prosecution of
submarine warfare, there is plenty
of evidence, On Tuesday came

summer clothes they wore back in
September and give them to us
then. You see there is absolutely
no expense attached, so every-
thing we take in is clear gain.

SOUTH CAROLINA CLUB

Miss Rita Schwartz elected presi-

clubs to be organized this year,
but we are not surprised for, as
of old, “first came South Caro-
lina and nobly took her stand.”
You other states fall in and do
the same. as Dr. Gaines wants
these state clubs to bring about
oreater friendliness here at Agnes
Seott and to be an aid in inter-
esting those girls at home in
coming here.

But there is more than mere or-
vanization—for there was also a

BLACKFRIARS RALLY.

A Rousing Good Time.

The Blackfriars held a. grand
‘ally on Friday afternoon, to wel-
come the new members. who are
Misses Goldie Ham, Ruth Nisbet,
Agnes Scott Donaldson, Blanche
Copeland, Ruby Stanley, Eliza-
beth Watkins, Sibyl Nunnalee,
Katherine Reed and Mrs. Carroll.

Miss Lonise Ware discussed in
i most interesting manner the
significance of the Blackfriars and
the aim of the organization.
Short talks were made by Misses
India Hunt and Olive Ifardwicl.
Then the Blackfriars’ ‘“‘right-
hand-man,’’ Miss Cady, roused
everybody's spirit for dramaties
in her inimitable way. She spoke
of the drama in general, of its
chance as a force for good; then
of college dramaties, and finally
of dramaties at Agnes Seott—
what the term has meant here in
the past, what it means now, and
what it will mean with an organi-
zation like the Blackfriars to en-
courage and develop dramatic in-
stinct among the students.

Miss Gooch congratulated the
new members on their admission
to the organization, and cordially
welcomed them into the midst of
the Blackfriars. She then discuss-
ed the play which is to be given
on Thanksgiving evening.

Is it anti-climatic to speak of
such earthly things as ice cream
and the inevitable sandwiches.

Y. W.C. A. Happenings
World Fellowship Week.

[ wonder how many of us un-
derstand exactly what World Fel-
lowship Week means? We might
call it a week of prayer, a week

in which we give ourselves in
prayer.

You know this is about the
hardest year for the world to

pray that it has ever known, When
we think of the homes where the
fathers and sons, and brothers,
are absent, where women wait and
work and hope, not knowing what
the next hour will bring forth.
where even children are learning
of the horrors of war, it is not an
easy thing for them to say ‘‘Thy
Will he Done.’’ It is not easy for
the men in the trenches and on
the battlefield, in all the madness
and mightiness of their lives to
pray. And yet it is because
prayer is the only thing that can
help the world in all its mad rush

and strife and turmoil that the
week has been set aside for this
purpose,

We are to pray for the differ-
ent countries and for the different
work whieh is being carried on in
these countries each day. We
are to pray for our own country
and that the womaa movement
shall result in the turning out. not
of minds which shall destroy, but
of minds which shall be Christian

in their influence and in their
power.

lee : “os

This week of prayer originated
with the Y.. M. ©. A. ‘and has
spread to all student organiza-

tions. Shall we all try to make
this week of fellowship great in
the fruits which it shall bring
forth by our earnest, individual
prayer?

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1916.
PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS !

LEND A HAND!

Have you heard the rumor that
a spirit snobbishness
has recently taken root among our
Agnes Scott girls?’ Well, we are
being criticised for it nevertheless,
so there must be some basis for
this rumor. Girls, this is a spirit
that we positively can not allow to
develop here, for it is in direct

certain of

contradiction to all the ideals and |

principles of Agnes Scott. Our
vollege stands for something high-

er and nobler, by far, than this.
And thus far, we must note, our
eirls have been highly commend-

ed for their loving spirit of fel-
lowship and democracy which the
YY. W. C. A. has, no doubt, been
instrumental in bringing about.
Now, ¢an we afford to take a step
hackward. when we should be
making progress along-this line?
We know that the trouble is not
with the college or with the Y.

W.C, A., which seems to he work-
ing more earnestly than ever this
vear, so it must be with the girls

themselves. Each individual girl
liere has the power within her own
hands to make or mar the spirit
fellowship at Agnes Seott.
Which side are vou going to take?
Wouldn’t you rather some-
thing worth while develop than
decay? Wow mneli better it is to|
build than to destroy! It is all
right to have our special friends,
hui let’s don’t snub the girl who
may not be in our particular circle.
Let's not only work as individuals
but let’s also work together in a
hody to abolish this snobbishness.
Instead of a frown or a_ cold
shoulder’’ let’s offer a helping
hand, a smile, or a pleasant word
to the girl next to us regardless of
who she is. Even if we don’t ad-
mire some of her characteristies.
we won't help matters by snob-
bing her. And we must not over-
jJook our own disagreeable ehar-
acteristi¢s in our eagerness to dis-
cover them in others:

FOLIO CLUB.

New Freshman Members.

A short while ago there were
several new members elected to
the Folio Club from among those
who tried out for membership.
Those who were chosen were Miss

Sara Stansell, Miss Elizabeth
Marsh, Miss Alice Cooper, Miss
Clifford Iloltzelaw, and Miss

Olivia Russell. This is strictly a
Freshman organization and after
the club is well organized the pres-
ent members are to resign,
Among such a large Freshman
class there should be a much lar-
ger membership among the Fresh-

men, so all are urged to try out.
As this is essentially a club for
the promotion of — short-story

writing, this form: of composition
is preferred; however, poems of
unusual ability may be accepted.
The purpose of the Folio Club is
the promotion of greater literary
interest among the new students.
This club is comparatively new
for last year it was organized by
Mrs. Deiekmann, The first mem-
bers were chosen by her and were
Miss Emily Miller, Miss Margue-
rite Watts, Miss Louise Marsh-
burn, Miss Dorothy Thigpen and
Mrs. C. W. Deickmann, an honor-
ary member. Miss Dorothy Thig-
pen is secretary, and those desiring
to apply for membership are asked
to hand-their contributions to her.
The club meets every other Tues-
day at the home of Mrs,
mann. Its members are encour-
aged to contribute to the college
literary publications, especially
the Aurora. It is possible, with
lthe courses offered in the Enelish
department, for these girls to
make some real literary achieve-
ments in college or in after life.
The Agonistic wishes to extend
its heartiest congratulations to
the new members, and hopes soon

to he able to congratulate some |
new members of this splendid elub.

THE AGONIS lige
“GOMMON CLAY.”’
The dramatic sénsation of the
season is promised in ** Common
Clay’* whieh begins an engage-

ment of four performances at the
Atianta Theatre next Monday.

“Common Clay’’ is the widely
heralded American drama by
Cleves Kinkead. Its phenomenal
run of an entire year at the Re-
public Theatre, New York, has es-
tablished its reputation as one of
the most interesting and popular
plavs of a generation.

A superb cast will be seen in-
eluding Catherine Tower, that
beautiful young emotional actress,
George Tilton, W. A. Whitecar,
Raymond Bramley, Jas. 1. Cassidy,
Edward Leahy. J. Irving South-
ard, Tessie Lawrence, Charlotte
Berkett, Pearl Ford and others of
equal note. Seats Thursday morn-
ing.

“THE HOUSE OF GLASS.”’

The Atlanta Theatre will be oc-
cupied to-night and Saturday by
the: Cohan and Harris production
of ‘*The Tlouse of Glass.’ The
theatrical season thus far in At-
lanta bas been confined largely to
musical plays, and the visit of the
first serious stage offering of the
year will probably be an outstand-
ing event in this year’s theatrical
bill of fare. ‘‘The Tlouse of Glass’’
was produced last year in Sep-
tember at the Candler Theatre
in New York, and has to its credit
the distinction of running contin-
uwously up to June, an achievement
which should commend the play to
the attention of every lover of the
theatre. It was written by Max
Marein, a young ¢ollegeman, hith-
erfo unknown to fame, and the
success with which it was greeted
has pliced Marcin into the first
rank of American playwrights.
Novelty in the theatre is the ehief
demand of the public. and the
manager whose judgment. is suffi
ciently keen to detect a new slant

Dear Miss La Mow:

Often when I chaperone a large
number of girls into town, I do
not know them all, and can not
distinguish which young ladies on
the street car are in my party.
When L address a strange girl, it
is often embarrassing to both par-
ties concerned. Can’t you sug-

Somebody has counterfeited a
name and has stolen some faculty
paper. Miss La Mour has been re-
ceiving piles of letters, questions,
ete., from a Mr. Pin Kee. She has
answered as many as she had room
for in her column and saved the
others for future reference. Now
she has found that Mr. Pin Kee
did not send those letters—net a
one of them! Who did? Two
detectives, Mr. Shenanigan and
Mr. Hawkshaw have been hired by
the Agonistic staff to investigate,
and if possible, trace the erim-
inal. We hope that justice will
be done.

Speaking of justice. 1 feel that

difficulty ?
Yours in humility,

My Dear Sister:

To begin with, you should not
take any girls you do not know

should pin labels on all the young

BIG DAY—THANKSGIVING.

With the match games a little
less than two weeks off, there is
not much time left in which to get
ready for them. The teams them-
selves are not in dire need of any

special preparation, as prac tice
has been going on steadily for)
weeks, but there are some inter-}

esting points that the Association
wants the rest of the girls to work
up.

If possible, we want the games
to take place on the out-door court
and to have grand stands erected
on either side for the spectators
and have some REAL college
sport and spirit shown. Best of
all, every girl who is able to play
any musical instrument at all,
from a base drum to a ukelele, is
asked to notify Agnes Scott
Donaldson in order that an Agnes
Scott Band can be organized to in-
ject a little more ‘‘pep’’ into the
game. We want to get together
an aggregation of musicians Ww ho
will vival Tech’s and Georgia’s.
Don’t hesitate to come out if you
own an instrument and can’t play

it—you can learn, and you are
needed, 4

With the grandstands full of
rooters, the band playing ‘‘Hot-

ket-ball that is going to be dis-
played, this Thanksgiving ought

Good Playing.

A number of girls on the several
teams are showing up well in the
practices. For the Freshmen, Vir-
ginia MeLanghlin is playing a
good game as forward: Julia Me-
Kay is displaying a lot of spirit in
the center; Chloie Walling and
Kugenia Johnston are doing ered-
itable work as guards.

On the Sophomore team, Al-
meda and Llewellyn are back with
their accustomed playing and
headwork of the stellar variety.
‘The reeruits, Dorothy Walker,
Claire Elliot, Elizabeth Watkins
and Bess Ham are working hard.

Caroline Larendon and Ruby
Lee Estes, this year’s contribn-
tions to the Junior team, the for-
mer a forward and the latter side
center, are putting up a stiff fight.
Julia Walker has been transfer-
red from side to pumping center,
and is performing creditably in
her new position.

As for the Senior team, Agnes
Donaldson, K. Lindamood and V.
Y. White, after a year’s absence.
are coming back with vim. Indi-
é¢ations are that this team will be
one of the strongest contenders
for the Championship,

News of Interest.

The Nation, Nov. 16, 1916.

Opinion in Washington seems to
he pretty well agreed that one of
the first problems to whieh Mr.
Wilson will have to turn his atten-
} tion, now that the campaign is out
of the way, will be the submarine
question, Admiralty reports from
London are that the P. and O. liner
) Arabic, whose destruction we re-
corded last week, was torpedoed
without warning. The American
steamship Columbian, the attack
on which we also reeorded last
week, it is now definitely estab-
lished was sunk by a German sub-
marine. Meanwhile submarines
continue active, paying particular
attention to Norwegian ships, and
the tension between Norway and
Germany, as a result of Norway’s
official declaration of policy to-
wards submarines and the German
protest against that policy, grows
daily more acute.

Rumania and particularly the
} Dobrudja front, has been the cen-
Hire of interest in the military op-
erations. In Dobrudja. Macken-
i sen has retreated at a rate that is
somewhat surprising, and the Ru-
manians, having re-occupied Ilir-
‘sova and Topal, are pressing on-to
the Arnavoda-Constanza Railway.
On the Transylvania front, the Ru-
) manians, supported by heavy Rus-
i sian reinforcements, have regained
the initiative.

In the Somme region the British
started a powerful thrust on Mon-
} day, on a five mile front north of
the Ancre, which resulted in an
advance at some points of 2,000
yards. The strongly fortified vil-
lage of St. Pierre Division was
taken by storm and also the pow-
erful position at Beawmont-Hamel.

Attention should be called to
the statement issued on November
9, by Baron Beyens, Belgian For-
feign Minister, charging the Ger-
man authorities with rounding up
and deporting to work in Germany
practically all the able-bodied men
in occupied Belgium. Tuesday's
papers published an eloquent pro-
test from Cardinal Mercier which
provides a pungent answer to Ger-
man professors that the deporta-
fions are dictated by humanitarian
motives.

The American-Mexican Joint
Commission, reconvening on Nov.
#10, was confronted with a situa-
tion by no means promising. Re-
ports of conditions in Mexico must
always be accepted with reserve,
} but there appears to be little room
for doubt that the State of Chi-
huahua is beyond the control of
Carranza, and that in Southern
Mexico the Legalistas, under Felix
Diaz. are showing considerable
strength. Panal, Santa Rosalia,
and Jiminez have been captured
by the Villistas, and Chihuahua
seeins to be virtually isolated. Nu-
merous outrages have also been
reported.

A woman in Congress! That
marks a political revolution, in-
deed, and it will help to assuage
for the woman suffragists their
bitter disappointment in their cer-
tain defeat in both South Dakota
and West Virginia. Presumably,
Congress will gain by Miss Ran-
i kin’s appearance, but for her it,

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1916.

Mr. Stevenson Preaches.

All who went to the Decatur
Presbyterian church last Sunday
certainly © enjoyed the sermon
preached by Dr, Stevenson, of
Agnes Scott College. So many of
the Agnes Scott girls go to this
church, and last Sunday several
girls became affiliated members.

Mr. Stevenson took his text
from Deuteronomy xxxii-v :xi. [le
told of Moses’ life in the moun-
tains and what a great opportu-
nity he had for the study of
nature. His text was, “‘As an eagle
that stirreth up her nest, that flut-
tereth over her young, he spread
abroad his wings, he took them,
he bear them on his pinions.’’ Ile
gave some interesting details
about the eagle, how they swoop
down upon their prey and the dif-
ferent type of eagles—the bold
and the gold eagle. The charac-
teristic that he stressed was the
all-absorbing care of the eagle for
their young.

Moses’ idea in the text was that
Egypt was the nest, the Israelites
were the eagles, and God was thc
parent bird, God stirred up the
nest of the Israelites and they
were forced to leave. Like the
parent bird, God just asks them to
out. then forees them in
order to train them for their mis-
sion in life. God uses loving dis-
cipline. God wished them to leave
Keypt and to form a nation of the
true religion.

Ile then brought line of
thought closer home. Each de-
nomination has a mission and, to
bring it still closer, each
vidual has a mission, Are we ac-
complishing God’s purpose? Are
we taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities around us to bear witness
of Christ’s death and resurrece-
tion? When the individual mem-
bers of a church fail to accomplish
God's purpose, then the
fails to accomplish God’s purpose.

We need to be awakened from
our sluggishness. There are sey-
eral ‘‘nests’’ that we need to be
stirred up from; the nest of world-
liness, the nest of business, and
the nest of home. The last seems
a queer one to: members but we
so often become settled in. our
homes and make God's blessing an
excuse for doing his work.

God brings us forth from our
‘‘nests’? and forces us to do His

his

mission, but all the while He bears |

us on Ilis sustaining wings.

Are we taking God into our life
plan? If not we may come hack
into a broken nest. This sermon
gives us much to think on. We
hope that we may have the pleas-
ure of hearing Dr.
again.

Education Club’s First Meeting.

Quite an interesting event of
this week was the address. given
by Mr, Brittain, Superintendent of
the State Board of Education, in
the chapel on Tuesday evening
November 21st. The lecture lasted
from six-fifty until seven-fifteen,
and Mr. Brittain was compliment-
ed by a very large audience. Ii
was given primarily for the bene-
fit of the classes in education, but
many took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to hear Mr. Brittain on this
occasion. Not only members ot
the college community but many
outsiders also were present. - Mr.
Brittain discussed at length the
various problems of education thas
are confronting us on all sides, not
only in Georgia, but everywhere.
From time to time he brought WwW
many important points which, ne
doubt, some of us had never given
a thought to before this time. As
education is one of the prime fae-
tors in the advancement of om
civilization to-day, we all should
be vitally interested in a discus-
sion directed along this line. Mr.
Brittain explained how we mus‘
take interest not only in the higher
forms of education, but also in the

lower and more elementary forms
™, +

since these form the necessary
foundation. Then we must also
be interested in the education of
the mass and not confine our ef-
forts to the betterment of the edu-
cation of a few.

Mr. Brittain’s address was not
only very interesting but very in-
structive as well. We are sure
that it will serve as a ‘*boost’” for
(the recently organized Educatior

Club, and will help it along every!

line of endeavor.

GLEE CLUB HAPPENINGS.

Successful Performances,

chureh |

The Glee Club is doing better

|work than ever before and has
|given more public performances
‘than usually given in a_ year,

Since it is the largest in the his-
tory of Agnes Scott, and so many
more voices to each part, the en-
semble work has a decidedly het-
ter effect now than ever before,

Monday, November 13, the
Agnes Scott Glee Club gave an ex-
cellent program at the annual col.
lege day exercises of the North
Avenue Presbyterian School, in
the Sunday School room of the
North Avenue Presbyterian
Chureh. Lantern pictures of
Wellesley, Vassar, Radcliffe, Le-
land-Stanford and other promi-
nent colleges were shown and
short talks given by their various
alumnae, Since Agnes Scott had
no pictures, the Glee Club gave its
college songs. Miss Cady gave an
interesting discussion on the mer-
its of the Southern colleges, es-
pecially small colleges. After the
program a delicious informal
luncheon was served by the stu-
dents in the schoo] room.

Monday afternoon of November
20 the Glee Club rendered three
selections for the Southern Asso-
ciation of College Women, which
met at Agnes Scott. The program
was as follows:

he Agonistic

Back to Antebellum Days!
A most unique party was given
Thursday night in Miss Le Gate’s
class room by May Freeman to all
the Virginia girls and faculty
members. It was an ‘‘Ole Virgin-
ny’’ celebration and if every one
had just put on hoop-skirts, you
could have imagined yourself back
in the days of 1860. To begin with
there was ‘“‘modern tea-room”’
Fanny in antebellum bandana
and kerchief, standing near the
door to curtsey to you as you en-
tered and modern steam heat re-
inforced by an olden time roaring
fire which brightened up the room
and cast flickering shadows on
the wall. <A Virginia banner of
orange and blue, over the mantle,
gave a touch of patriotism and
added to the color scheme which
was carried out even in the invi-

tations. Refreshments also were
deliciously ‘‘ Virginian’’—Smith-
field ham, beaten biscuit, coffee,

Virginia apples, Virginia cake—
in fact everything was ‘‘just Vir-
ginia.”’

After the refreshments were
served every one drew up around
the fire and had a glorious time
laughing, talking and singing Vir-
ginia songs. All of the **Old Do-
minion’’ girls certainly owe to
May one of the best times they
have had this year.

THE AGONISTIC’S LOSS!
Miss Claire Elliot Resigns.

With the greatest regret and
tears in our big eyes, we mown
the loss of Miss Claire Elliot asa
member of our staff. It’s a puzzle
to this public mouthpiece to find
as capable a substitute. We see,
however, that our sorrow has over:
whelmed us so that we have for-
gotten to mention that only be-
cause of the condition of her eyes
did Claire give up her position.

The Agonistic feels very much
like a baby does when strong arms
are taken away and the youngster
must toddle on alone. When we
think of what a very valuable as-
sistant this ex-member of our stafl
was to us, though we may find a
eirl who will be most helpful in
our newspaper work, we say, from
the bottom of our hearts, that
Claire will be dreadfully missed in

our meetings. However, she'll
still be our ‘‘honorary’’ member.

Give Three Cheers For HOASC!

Current Events Interesting Sermon Mr. Brittain Speaks “Ole Virginny” Party “Stunt Night” Pleases

Hoasc’s Success.

Iloase has given us something
else—a stunt night for all organi-
zations in school. This is a good
precedent to establish, in order to
bring before our minds the organi-
zations and their .purpose.

Saturday night, the 18th. was
Stunt Night. Ioase had a box in
the chapel, out of which was
ground each stunt.

First came Student Government.
The members of Exee. came forth,
sang a witty song, then off went
the lights and another song, a
parody on ‘‘Pretty Baby’’ was
sung, accompanied by flashlights
and *“‘Shh’s’’ to represent exee’s
approach, This received much ap-
plause.

The Y. W. ©. A. gave an at-
tractive tableau representing girls
of all nations kneeling before the
cross. The color scheme of the
costumes was very effeetive, and
the whole gave to our Y. W. A.
broader significance.

B. O. Z. and Folio represented

a picture of a ‘‘roasting’’ of the

which turned out to be Gray’s

production.

The French Club dramatized a
little French poem; an old woman
was seen erying at the casement
window as the weiner man made
weiners out of her cat. This was

news to us; we thought ‘‘hot
dogs,’’ were made in Germany

from canines. See how our edueca-

stage setting was very unique and
attractive for this scene,

The Athletic Association showed

PATRONIZE ADVERTISERS !

PLEASE BE KIND-HEARTED!

It is rather discouraging to hear
the various rumors that have been
floating promiscuously around the
college campus during the last
few weeks. These rumors are con-
cerned with very inconsiderate}
criticisms directed against the}
Agonistie and its work this year.
Now, we do not mean to be grumb-
ling about our faults being ex-}
posed because we will fully appre-|
ciate any suggestions from anyone
that may improve our paper, but
we do ask you to make your com-
plaints and offer your suggestions
to us. We get up the paper and
consequently are responsible for
its publication so we are the ones
to whom you should come. Of
course the staff is doing its best,
but then we may not be pleasing
everyone, so if we're not pleasing
you, just tellus about it. Various
complaints have come to us indi-|
rectly, that certain individuals

were displeased with jokes, ete.,
that appeared in the paper con-|
cerning themselves. Well, we

wish to explain that everything
along that line is said in fun and
with a feeling of good fellowship.

If we have offended you we are
sorry. but if you can’t take a joke,
then association is not good for
you,

Then there have been criticisms
about stale news, uninteresting
articles, ete. This is very discour-
aging because we have been trying
not only to keep up with contem-
porary happenings, but also to
probe into the events to come and
to discover secrets to disclose to
you in the glaring headlines on
the front page.

There have been other
complaints that we will not at-
tempt to enumerate here—a care-
less word let fall here, and an in-
considerate criticism there, or
worst of all a heartless sareastie¢
remark about the faults of the
Agonistic. Now, this is your pa-
per as much as it is ours —we are
only the instruments of its publi-
cation. Are you going to knock
your own paper? Are you trying
to kill it with your criticism? By
criticising you will come nearer
killing it than helping it along.
Arent you willing to Jend your
co-operation for a greater Ago-
nistic? If you have any valuable
suggestions to offer we will gladly
accept them and will try to profit
by them.

AFFILIATED MEMBERSHIP.

The report has come to some of
the editors that the new girls do
not understand what it means to
be an affiliated member of a church
in Atlanta or Decatur. In the first
place we want to say that it does
not mean when you choose a
church for your home church that
you are bound to attend that
chureh every Sunday. The object
of this system is to keep us from
being ‘‘church tramps.’ We all

We are more interested in the

The Y. W. C. A. through this
committee wishes you fo identify
yourself with one church and give
to it your presence and your inter-
est. Of course you can go visiting
or you can have people visit with
you in your home church, but you
know it makes you feel better for
the minister to know you person-
ally and to feel that you are a part
of the ehurch while you are at
college. So let us all co-operate
with the Y. W. @. A. in making

‘‘Thinking.’’

College! What is it all about,
anyway? Have you ever stopped
once to think what it is and why
you are here and what you are
doing with it and who will be the
loser if you don’t put the realest
kind of living into it?

You talk about your “‘religion,”’
but you never exercise any gray
matter on it. You take what has
been handed you by your families
and never trouble to make it rea-
sonably yours. What is religion.
Christianity, church, chapel life?
Could you even satisfy yourself if

you tried to define them? And
why not? Beeause you don’t
think!

Because it is eternally true that
it is the things you think about
most persistently that finally come
to possess you. Has that ever
made the slightest conscious dif-
ference in your thinking? Twen-
ty-five girls in this school might
just as well be painted clothes
dummies in a shop window for all
they ever think of anything else.
And fifty other girls on this ¢am-
pus never have their brain tracks
trod by any living thing except
““the men.’’ <A bare few withdraw

THE BLUE PARADISE.

“The Blue Paradise’? whieh will

night, Saturday and

tration of what the publie wants.
Under the managerial direction of
the Messrs. Shubert this most sat-
isfying and delightful of recent
Viennese operettas has just con-
eluded a phenomenally popular
run of fifty-two consecutive weeks
in New York City at the Casino
Theatre, which marks a new ree-
ord even for this famous play-
house that has been the metropoli-
tan home of most of the most sue-
cessful musical entertainments |
Broadway has seen in the past
twenty years. ‘‘It promises to
rival all musieal suecesses of the
past quarter.of a century’? was

night and the erowded houses that
have so far greeted its every pre-

as to the prediction being fulfilled.
Paul Nicholson, Miss Norton, Gus-

Bowers, Yolande Preszburg, Rob-

of almost 100 persons the Messrs.

“THE BIRTH OF A NATION”
BOOKED FOR RETURN

ENGAGEMENT IN
ATLANTA.

It will be welcome news to
dwellers hereabouts that D. W.
Griffith's spectacular romance ot
the Confederacy, ‘‘The Birth of a

Nafion.”’ is to be presented again
at the Atlanta. The dates are the
week of November 27th with daily
matinee, and each presentation
will be identical with those which
attracted capacity audiences last
season. The company carries its
own symphony orchestra of 25
New York artists and they will be
augmented with the regular the-
atre orchestra.

This will probably be the fare-
well visit of the speetacle to At-

lanta. Producer Griffith has an-
nounced that he will soon with-
draw ‘“*The Birth of a Nation’’

from the road to make way for his
newest and biggest spectacle, ‘*In-

tolerance.’’ now running at the
Liberty Theatre, New York, and

which will soon be presented in
the principal cities.

The prices for this engagement
are considerably less than last
|year’s, the $2.00 seats having been
eliminated entirely. The best seats
at the night performances will sell
for $1.00 and $1.50 and the best
seats at the matinees for 75¢ and
$1.00.

CAUTION!

The <Athletie Association re
quests the girls not to play on th:
tennis courts immediately after a
hard rain. At that time the
ground is so soft that every foot-
fall leaves a hole which remains
after drying. This leaves the 3
court in a wretched condition and
one which is not easily remedied.

Each one of us should consider
it a personal duty to see that the
courts are not spoiled or defaced
in any way. Surely none of us
would care to have a court of our
own so trampled upon and it be-
hooves us to see that these courts.

A DIRGE FOR HALLIE.

Juniors’ Loss.

Have you noticed any particu-
lar redness about the eyes and
noses of the Juniors this week?
Doubtless you have, or else you're!
not a very observant young per-
Son.
of the weeping—Hallie has been
compelled to stop playing basket-
ball!

We grant that this is a sufficient
reason for tears. For two years
Hallie has been one of the main-
stays of the team of ‘18. Iler
good work as forward, her display
of headwork and her enthusiasm
will certainly be missed and we

heartily sympathize with the
Juniors.
Mrs. Parry found it best for

Hallie to give up basket-ball on
account of her heart. Not that
she is seriously afflicted with any
dire disease of that organ, but
basket-ball was proving a little too
strenuous for if.

THE BUDGET SYSTEM.

Once more we are forced

Ilerein is the doleful cause}

to|in two of the classes to organize

tion in athletics. The Athletic
Association wishes it to be clearly
understood that no girl who has
not paid her budget will be per-
mitted to take part in any sports
at A. S. C. She is deprived of
the use of tennis courts, swimming

{pool and prohibited from playing

hasket-ball. Moreover, she is
asked not to encroach upon the
rights of the girls who have paid
their budget by using them.

As soon as any girl, who has not.
pays the budget, she will be re-
instated and given these privileges
but until then—

Keep Off!
THE BAND.
The Agnes Scott Band for the
match games has become a _ re-
ality. Ilallie Alexander is to play

the trombone, Amelia the mando-
lin, Bess Ham the drum, Hattie
Mae Finney the piano, and any
number of girls ought to be out
with ukeleles. There will be sev-
eral practices this week in order
to learn the new songs and per-
fect their harmony.

The Survey, Nov. 11, 1916.

Doctors in the United States are
not holding back from the health
insurance movement as they did in
England. Indeed, they are help-
ing measurably toward the day
when agitation will give way to
legislation. But the discussions at
the national public health confer-
ence brought out some lively dif-
ferences among physicians, Insur-
ance men and laymen who are in-
terested in labor legislation.

Boys of an East side neighbor-
hood in New York have financed a
new settlement house, thus passing
on to a younger generation the set-
tlement leadership which came to
them at Madison House.

Conventions galore! All the
leading societies got together to
begin drafting an American peace
plan: The submerged nations of
Europe gathered to put forward
their common plea. California
city planners reported on the
working out of Zoneng systems.
Illinois charity workers are wait-
ing an epitaph for their county
jails. Public health workers dis-
cussed long hours. alcohol and
other factors in efficiency.

was also very good, and India as}

The rest of the committee agreed
with her, and all were received

FOR CHRISTMAS GREETING

VOL. II.

PILGRIM PARTY

Rich, Rare, and Racy!

Progress?
Agnes Scott has already begun
her Thanksgiving—and nearly a
week ahead of time too! At any
rate the Mnemosyneans and espec-
jally the “‘Props’’ began feeling

seven fifteen.

For the Mnemosyneans had a
“Thanksgiving Special’? meeting,
and invited all the rest ol! the
school to come enjoy it with them.

To the stirring meter of **The
Ancient Mariner,’ the famous
landing of the Pilgrim Fathers
was thrillingly set forth, and after
each verse there was a most ef-
fective illustration in pantomime
of what had been told. At first
the

‘“Weary mariners

Seasick as could be’’
came slowly across the sea, pitcli-
ing fearfully in big rocking-chair

boats. Finally, Plymouth Rock
(Louise Abney) gradually rose

out of the horizon, and the joyful
Pilgrim Fathers—and mothers—
disembarked with a most impos-
ing array of furniture. (It was a
feature of special note that one
illustrious Pilgrim bore a ponder-
ous book of pedigree)

“Of all the families in the land
That are, or e’er shall be.’

But seasickness and the dan-
}gers of landing were the smallest
of our ancestors’ troubles, for
Wscarcely had they put foot on
shore, when ferocious Indians
dashed forth from behind the
Htrees on all sides, and not only
Wscalped (or, to be more exact,
‘“switched’’) several ladies of the
Hparty, but made off with every
idrop of the ‘‘fire water’? which
jour noble forefathers had so care-
fully brought over, in case some
Hone should get sick and need a
*““toddy.”’

And not only Indians abounded
in this terrible country, but the
Istrangest of animals, quite equal
Hto those held in captivity now by
the Junior Sisters Circus Com-
J pany, continually harrassed the
j pilgrims. Some bold member of
ithe party suggested killing those
Hanimals for a feast, and a most
idramatie scene followed, in which
eyen the wily turkey was. finally
overcome.

So the ladies stayed at home
and cooked the dinner, and sent
the men to church, where they
were effectively preached to sleep.
}When chureh was finally over, all
Hol us were invited to go home
with the pilgrims and help them
enjoy the feast which consisted of
delicious little candies served ‘‘a
la bueket!”’

“The Oxford Affair”

Blackfriars Make Hit

If anyone should be asked what
was the climax of all the grand
things that happened on Thanks-

the games, exciting as they were;
and over that dinner, big as it
was; and say that the climax of
the day came in its proper place
at the last. For Thanksgiving
juight was given up to the Black-
friars play—the nicest possible
ending for such a glorious day.

The play was called ‘The Ox-
ford Affair,’’ and here is the cast.

Mrs. Jack Oxford, who enjoys
herself in spite of obstacles—Miss
Fan Oliver,

Miss Margaret Oxford, who is
nearly distracted by her duties
as chaperone—Miss Ruth Nesbit.

Dorothy Howe, Phyllis Ashton,
Miss Oxford’s niece and her
friend, who are enough to distract
any chaperone—Luey Durr, Re-
sina Pinkston.

Mrs. Zachariah Barnstable, who
is not averse to displaying her
newly acquired wealth—Laurie
Caldwell.
| Miss Sophronia Price, Mrs.
Barnstable’s sister, who aspires to
Shakespeare—Louise Ware.

of her strong character but also
because of her gentle and impar-
tial word. of good counsel to all
do we express: our gratitude to
her. The Agonistic realizes that
words are often meaningless, but

one will mean volumes when we
say to Miss Hopkins: ‘‘WE

Aid for Prisoners of War

Is there anybody in this uni-
verse who thinks that Agnes Scott
doesn’t do her duty like a lady?
If that person is lurking about
just let us' know and. we-ll—we
can’t say what we'll do, bu we'll
do ‘‘a plenty !”’

Only a few days ago we received
an urgent appeal to the “‘STU-
DENTS, OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE STUDENTS
AND THEIR COMRADES IN
|PRISON CAMPS IN ALL LUKE
INATIONS AT WAR!” Pray,
what did we, poor plodders, here
in Decatur have to do with
\those prisoners of war in far-
laway Europe? Simply because
five and one-half millions of
/men in prison camps meant at
lleast ten millions of women who
|were their wives, mothers, sisters
and daughters. By sending money
—though ever so little—we could
lighten a little of their heartache
and save ourselves from selfish-
ness !

p—Annie Lee.

The whole play was one big

Sip-

laugh, from the time the curtains
first went up until at least ten
minutes after the last flattered

actress had bowed herself off the
stage.

We didn’t blame every one for
falling in love with Fan Oliver

“The pretty little widow with
laughing eyes of blue.”’

And we certainly saw why the
poor chaperone was so agitated in
trying to keep an eye on her two
charming charges. But when Mrs.
Zachariah Barnstable—and her
figure—appeared on the scenes,
you didn’t have time for anything
else—you just laughed and
laughed and laughed. Of course
Louise Ware, with her startling
Shakespearian quotations, was
splendid; and Mary and Ellen,
the two maids,. certainly did their
‘part in keeping up the fun.

Blackfriars, congratulations !
We didn’t know what ‘‘geniuses’’
(or are you genii?) we had
amongst us, but now we do know
—give us some more!

STATE CLUB PARTIES

Great Successes

The Alabama Club gave its an-
nual party last Thursday night in
Miss Cady’s class room. The cor-
ner over by the fire place was
sereened off from the other see-
tion of the room, and was made
most inviting by the artistic ar-
rangement of pillows and pen-
nants. A red lamp which burned
over in one corner helped the roar-
ing fire to make this a cozy place.
At eight forty-five all the Ala-
bama girls assembled for this
meeting. There was no definitely
planned program for the occasion.

A “Booster” Letter

Read it Now!

Editor of the Agonistic:

Your editorial, ‘‘Please Be Kind.
Hearted,’’ stirs memories within
me of the days of antiquity when
I used to try to help with college
publications, and I feel impelled
to say to you that no one who has
not lent a hand in such work can
quite appreciate the difficulties
and discouragements of the task.
The constant strain of trying to
‘‘make news’’ when there seems
to be little real material available
sometimes reduces one to the
verge of insanity, as any college
editor can testify. I wish to con-
gratulate you and your staff upon
having so far accomplished your
work very creditably, and to urge
you not to become unduly dis-
couraged by reason of any crit-
icisms that may have found their
way to your ears. Criticisms show
that there is really life in the stu-
dent-body, life that you may be
able to use for the bettering of
the paper.

For it is only plain common
sense to believe that if the critics
will get busy and air their crit-
icisms in the columns of the Ago-
nistic, the paper will immediately
begin to show more of that
strange and wonderful “quality
which we sometimes hear charac-
terized as ‘‘pep,’’—a quality as
necessary for the success of a pa-
per like this as for a football con-
test. Nor is it necessary that your
critics should confine themselves
to criticisms. If they really wish
their paper to take on new life
and interest, they have only to
keep their eyes open in order to
be in a position to contribute
““copy’’ every week, “‘copy’’ that
will be spontaneous and that will
give you more of local news than
you will have room to publish. If
‘the students could once realize
what a useful organ they have at
their disposal, and make the
Agonistic verily their medium of
expression, your troubles would
be largely over. Of course, so long
as they simply stand on the
‘‘side-lines’’ and ‘‘knock,’’ the
Agonistic will get nothing but
useless bruises. I agree with you
heartily that such an attitude is

very absurd, =

‘We all want the paper to succeed.
All we need is to wake up to our
duty in the matter of its support:

our essentials, and we are going
‘to give it support as such. We
‘are glad to think that it already

BLUE RIDGE!!

When you arrive at Blue Ridge
your automobile will drive you
from the station directly to Lee
liall. Alight from your car and
20 immediately to the office in the
main lobby, pay your registration
fee, then board, then go directly
the Agnes Scott-Tech cottage,
eet yourself ready for supper, and
come back to the porch of Lee
Hall to take in the most inspir-
ingly beautiful nature scene you
ever beheld, in the thirty minutes
while you are waiting for the sup-
per bugle.

Strictly a Student Camp

Altogether there are over sixty
people employed to operate the
camp. Forty or fifty of these are

voung ladies, the rest with the ex-| ve

ception of six cooks are young
men. One of the qualifications
for a position at Blue Ridge is
that you must be a college man
or woman. So that each of these
men and ladies comes from some
college or university. This in-
sures the highest toned atmos-
phere about the grounds and
building the entire summer.
Cottages.

| Besides the large hotel with 138
rooms, there are twelve cottages

accommodating fourteen persons
each, and Martha Washington

cottage, the girls’ dormitory, with
rooms for a large number of girls.
These cottages were built by the
different college Y. W. and Y. M.
C. A. donations, and are the per-
manent property of the schools,

The cottage that is used by
Tech's delegation is shared by the
Agnes Scott delegation each year,

the girls’ conference closing just
before the boys’ conference he-
gins.

These cottages cost $1,000, are

well constructed,
places and equipped with electric
lights and hot and cold water,

The cottages keep the delega-
tions together so that more team
work is possible in the way of
athletics and in arranging the con-
ference work.

Ownership and Control of Blue

Ridge.

The 1,000 aeres of land and
$200.000 invested in buildings and
other improvements is legally
owned and held jointly by the city
and. student Y..M. GC. A.’s and Y.
W. C. A.’s of the several south-
eastern states. Every association
within the territory is a member
of this ‘‘¢orporation’’ and has
through its general seeretary a
voice in the general administra-
tion of the camp.

Foreign Students at the
Conference.

We have an opportunity to get
acquainted with many parts of
the world during the conference
days, in contact with a number of
men there from several different
countries—watch for the enthn-
|siasm with which they enter into
our sports, such things
never had at home.

What it Means to go to Blue Ridge
To go to Blue Ridge means to
20 to a place Where you may meet
people who will put into your
heart a new faith in the nobleness
of men and of women and to re-

ceive a new vision of united or-
ganized and Christian manhood

and womanhood throughout the
schools and colleges of the South-
land.

This brotherly, unselfish inter-

est manifested so beautifully at
Blue Ridge is destined to achieve
great things in the lives of our
college men and women.

Men and women, faculty and
students meet and discuss with

absolute freedom and fairness the
great problems that confront our
colleges to-day. It is the spirit
of those who have forgotten them-
selves in the greater issues of spir-
itual power and beauty of soul.

“THE BIRTH OF A NATION.”’
(At the Atlanta.)

If you saw ‘“‘The Birth of a
Nation,’’ you will enjoy seeing it
again this year. If you missed it
last year, you are lucky in having
another opportunity to see it.

Everyone is too familiar with
Thomas Dixon’s story, ‘‘The
Clansman,’’ to go into details of
“The Birth of a Nation,’’ for the
picture is a visualization of that
wonderful verbal portrayal of the
sufferings of the men and women
of the south during the war and
the trying days of the reconstruc-
tion.

Tn he Birth of a Nation”’
there is a combination of the word,
the picture and that subtle, evasive
element which only music seems
recreate, The emotions are
aroused and analyzed by the pie-
ture and the music.
this particular is literal in its
meaning, for there has likely never
been in Atlanta a production in
a theater which so clearly brought
forth the feelings of each of the
audience as “‘The Birth of a
Nation.”” There were cheers and
hisses, tears and occasional laugh-
ter.

Whether

Sh by

“The Birth of a
Nation’’ arouses any prejudice or
not—and if yon want to know
what I think, it undoubtedly does,
and plenty of it—there is a whole-
some sign in the manner in which
the audience last night approved

or disapproved of the incidents
portrayed and interpreted. It
means that when again there is

THE GAMES.

On Thanksgiving morning, in
the presence of a vociferously ap-
plauding and yelling audience the
senior basket-ball team met the
juniors in battle array, and the |

sophomores went at the throats of
the freshmen. ,
These were two of the most spr-
ited contests ever witnessed at
A. S. G, and both players and
spectators were on tenterhooks
from the blowing of the first
whistle. Every girl on every

team entered that fray with a set
determination to win for her team
and her class and stellar perform-
ances were the rule and not the
exception.

The Fresh-Soph playing was ex- |
citing and thrilling to the last de-
eves, Everybody ‘‘whooped”’ up
their respective teams until each |
player fought like a tiger. How-
ever, that Soph team work was
splendid, wasn’t it, girls? It sho’
‘nuff told in the end, and 1919 beat
1920 by the score of 25-10.

Some more excitement popped
up when those Seniors and Juniors
tugged for the honors. It was a|

case of ‘‘fight to the finish,’’ for
every girl was on her metal.|

The end came with Juniors vic-
tors, and the score 10-7.

CONFERENCE AT HOLYOKE

(Concluded from page 1)

Monday morning, and Twesday)
morning after the regular chapel)
exercises they told us about their
trip. Miss Lowe told us about
the happenings of the first two
days they were there, while Miss
Iarwell discussed what oceurred
the remainder of the time. We
are always very interested in hear-
ing about what the other colleges
are doing and we should profit
largely by this, since we can see
how we may improve some phases
of our student government sys-
tem. They told us about the meth-
ods used at Wellesley, Vassar,
Smith, Bryn Mawr, Goucher,
Randolph-Macon and all the other
large colleges. Some things ap-
pealed to our sense of humor
since they were so totally differ-
ent from our methods—such as
the students helping to regulate
the curriculum. But other things
bore a striking resemblance to ow

system. One morning was. set
aside for talks along various
phases of student government.

made by each president from each
college represented. No doubt
many valuable and helpful sug-
gestions were offered in these dis-
cussions. While most of the time
was devoted to this line of work
since this was the purpose of the
convention, they did not work all
the time. Both of our delegates,
gave thrilling descriptions of how
delightfully they were enter-
tained during their short stay at
Mt. Holyoke. The afternoon they
arrived they were met by some of
the students. Later they went to
a tea. That evening some one
gave a dinner in their honor, and
this was terminated by a dance.
So we see how well they were en-
tertained during spare moments.
Both girls seem to have enjoyed |
their trip very much and to have}
derived much profit from it. We
wish to thank them for the very
interesting reports which they
brought back with them.

HARMONY AT A. §. C.

Great Kryl with his world-
renowned military band didn’t
have a thing on Agnes Seott and
her aggregation of musicians who
played at those Thanksgiving
games. Under Goldie’s able direc-
tion, our band has developed into
a reality here, and during the
games Thursday it made the wel-
kin ring with its harmony,

At present the Agnes
Athletic Band consists of two
drums, thunderously beaten by
Esther Hlayis and Bess Howe,
four horns, one cornet, fwo trom-
bones. one of which emits most
powerful blasts under the contro]
of Halhe—an accordion upon
which Emma Ware performs, a
Chinese instrument played by
Nell Aycock, two ukeleles, six
mandolins, six guitars, the piano
and a few odd pieces,

The music rendered by this
band formed one of the most at-
tractive features of the Thanks-
giving games. Not only did such
an exhibition of ‘‘pep*’ inspire the
players but the spectators too
were fired with enthusiasm hy
the strains of ‘‘Ilottentot,’’ the
new athletic song, and ‘‘Alma
Mater,”’

Scott

THE AGONISTIC

Moreover, we want this band to

stay with us. Now that it is fully
organized we see no good reason
why it should not become an in-
stitution at A. S. C. just as much
as the Glee Club and remain as a
necessary adjunct to the Athletic
Association. The girls have cer-
tainly made quite a suecess of it
und the association extends its
heartiest thanks and appreciation
to the members of the Agnes Scott
Athletie Board.

HOCKEY GAME POSTPONED.

The mateh game in hockey be-
tween the Purples and the Whites
which was at first scheduled for
the Wednessday afternoon before
Thanksgiving has been postponed.
However the sticks have now ar-
rived and the game will be played
on Monday afternoon, December
Ll.

This ought to prove a thor-
cughly exciting contest as there
is much rivalry between the two
teams, In addition, the associa-
tion has introduced a very inter-
esting feature by offering the
girls on the team that wins the
best two out of three games, small
gold bar pins in the shape of a}

HONOR TO MR. JOHNSON.

At the meeting of the Athletic
Association on last Monday, Mr.
Lewis Jolinsou was elected an honu-
ovary member of it. We feel sure
that this was a wise move on the
part of the association, and that
their selection of the new member
is a very happy one. The ming-
ling of masculine ideas and a mas-
culine voice in athletic affairs will
add an element of strength.

Second Méeting of Education
Club.

re SN, ee eta mmeanves ure

A very interesting education
lecture was given Tuesday night
in the chapel by Prof. Jos, 3%.
Stewart. A large audience at-
tended and every one was well
pleased. The talk was on “‘Re-
quirements for a Teacher in See-
ondary Schools.’ Prof. Stewart
has specialized in this work and
is now professor of Secondary Ed-
ucation at the University of Geor-
gia. He is a very interesting
speaker, and the whole school, not
merely the education students,
enjoyed the talk and were ben-
efited by it. Everyone of them
saw herself (or himself) as a fu-
iure teacher in Ifigh Sehool, in-
teresting her pupils by various
new methods and working very
hard. He stressed the importance
of method and hard work for the
teacher more than for the pupil.
When we were at High School
we never realized how much re-
sponsibility a teacher has, but
Prof. Stewart has eleared that up
for us. He thinks that a teacher
in a secondary school not only
needs to know her subjects thor-
oughly, but needs to know how to

put them hefore her pupils clearly,

forcefully, ana enthusiastically.
The matter of discipline was also
discussed by him in a most en-
lightening manner.

These lectures have been ar-
ranged by the Education Club

and if the succeeding ones are as
pleasing and instructive as those
already given, we will feel that
the Edueation Club is one of our
most important organizations,

“When the Agonistie loveth, it
Joseth,’* because we've just learn-
ed that we’re about to lose an-
other one of the standbys of the
staff. This time, we’re sorry to
say, it’s Mary Freeman who has
had to resign on account of her
health, and what we'll do with-
out her we don’t know. It seems
that Miss Hopkins realized the
arduous duties of a member of the
Agonistic staff, and as soon as
Mary began to fade away, she im-
mediately insisted on her handing
in a resignation. And as the rea-
sons were what they are, what
could we do? We're awfully sorry
Mary, and it will be hard to find
anyone to fill your place, and we
all thank vou for your good and
faithful work on the Agonistic
staff.

In Mary’s place we find that
Hallie Alexander has been elected.

old Hallie ‘Sgo after things”’
knows. that she'll be one of our
real ‘‘right-hand men!’’ We're

awfully proud that she was un-
occupied enough to take the job
which we offered her. The staff
appreciates more than a little the
very enthusiasti¢ way In which
she’s responded to our eall! With
la welcome for Hallie in our hearts
land a grief over Mary’s forced
departure, we're pressing with
our difficult work. We’re awfully
sure though that it'll be easier
with our able new helper!

LISTEN TO THIS!

Let’s Stop It!

We are perfectly well aware
that you are all thinking we are
merely printing again an article
we published some weeks ago on
this subject—we are not even in-
genious enough to fool you into
reading what we have to say wn-
der a new name because we are
merely going to put the thing up
to you very squarely and very
honestly and ask you quite
frankly what you are going to do
about it. Because it is up to ev-
ery single one of you to do some-
thing and do it quickly, even if
you don’t do anything more than
open up the overgrown paths of
your brains, (We expect some
of them need the brushwood cut
away from the state of affairs
along this line!)

In case you are getting anxious
for us to get to the point we will
repeat what we said several weeks
ago (though it didn’t seem to do
much good) and state that in
some of the classes books have
heen kept open during recitation.
We haven't seen it as we men-
tioned before in Sociology T and
in Psychology T, but it has re-
cently come to our notice that it
occurs regularly and without fail
in a certain Freshman class. The
method employed in the latter ex-
hibited that ingeniousness which
we have heretofore not been able
to utilize in interesting you vitally
in this subject. The members of
this elass (some of them) make
out neat and forceful outlines of

eartiest Congratulations to Mrs. Gaines !!

Talk By Prof. Stewart “Lost aid Found” — Her Charming Book

Our Great Pride!!
Only a few daysyago the Ago-
nistie editor hoard that Mrs.
Gaines had just written a most
delightful little book entitled *‘T
Hear de Voices Callin’’’ Imme-
diately she rushed to find some
one who could ably ‘‘review”’
such a charming literary work.
She spied Dr. Armistead at that
very moment and he, as is his
wont, kindly consented to grant
her request! Both the article and
the book are most interesting and
we heartily recommend them to
you. Congratulations are indeed
in order and we may well be
proud of our president’s wife!

‘I Hear de Voices Callin’.’’

Under this suggestive title
comes the beautiful little volume
which has just been contributed
to southern literature by Mrs.
Gaines. To all who love the old
South and its traditions this col-
lection of verse and story will
come as a welcome addition to the
store of negro dialect writing—
that relatively small store of what
is really true to the old plantation
life.

The author has shown herself
mistress of the art of portrayal in
her deatings with the negro, not
only as to the very skillfully man-
aged dialect, but with regard to
the working of the negro mind

as well. The retrospection of
‘SUnele Nat’? in “‘1* Hear de
Voices Callin’,’? the song from

which the volume takes its title,
giving us the familiar attitude of
the old darkey whose ‘‘white
folks’? have all departed; the
faithfulness of the body-servant
who accompanied his master to
the field of battle. in ‘‘De Battle
ob de Crater”? and ‘‘Dem Swadin’
Ways;’’ the fine tribute to the
men of the South, as they bravely
set to work to rebuild their over-
thrown civilization after the close
of the great struggle, in ‘‘An Ie

Mended de Gyarden Wall;’? the
loving eommemoration of that

unique class of servants to whom
was committed in such well-de-
served confidence the e¢are of our
fathers and mothers in their in-
fancy in ‘‘De Ole Black Mammy ;”’
all these show rare insight into the
negro character, while the unex-
celled reproduction of the dialect
makes the darkey verily live be-
fore us. The prose sketehes are
likewise fascinating in their faith-
ful setting forth of various types
of the ante-bellum negro,—types
ranging from ‘‘Une’ Caesar,’’ the
pious churehman who got drunk,
‘‘onbeknownst to hisse’f,’’ to
“Queen Tuldy,”” the proud, un-
scrupulous remnant of African
rovalty who was reputed to be a
dealer in the “black art.’? Tn
short, as a true view of the old
negro the book has probably not
been surpased, even by the work
of such artists as Harris, or Rus-
sell. They have given us extended
poems and stories, while Mrs.
Gaines has shown us only glimpses,
but those glimpses are such as are
well calculated to snegest all that
‘gs tender and beautiful and mirth-
provoking in the days that are
cone forever.

The illustrations scattered
throughout the hook are note-

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1916.
PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS!

ATTENTION!!

Attention! This is something
everyone on the campus should be
very interested in. We are going
to start a ‘‘Contributor’s Column’?
on the very front page of the Ago-
nistic. We are going to have a
box placed in Main building to
receive all contributions from any
one who wishes to offer them.
This will give you a chance to say
something you wish to say, to
offer any kindly suggestions you
may, and to make any criticisms
(not too harsh), that you want to.
Now don’t stand back on the
other person but make your con-
tributions as soon as_ possible.
The Agonistic does not belong to
the staff, but to the whole college,
and consequently we feel that
every one should put in a word or
_two now and then. We have de-
t" that the best way to carry
out this idea is to start a eontribu-
tor’s column, and we sincerely
hope that every one will take ad-
vantage of this rk a

THE FOLIO CLUB.
What It’s Doing!

The Folio Club is doing splen-
did work this year and its mem-
bers should be highly commended
for the earnest efforts they are
making along the literary line.
While it has admitted many new
members recently, it has lost one
of its most valuable members,
Miss Emily Miller, who has_ re-
cently been admitted to B. O. Z.
So what B. O. Z. gains, Folio
loses. We all wish to congratu-
late Miss Miller in her recent sue-
cess, and hope that she will con-
tribute as largely to the success
of B. O. Z. as she has to that of
Folio,

At the last meeting of the Folio
Club there was a full attendance
and almost every member brought
up work that did credit to the
club. If this record keeps up dur-
ing the entire year this will be
an organization of which all of
us will be very proud.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

It has been the custom at Agnes
Scott for several years for the
girls to give the money which
they intended spending on pres-
ents for their girl friends here at
college to a fund which goes to-
ward a Christmas tree for the poor
children in Atlanta. You know
with all the presents which come
to you on Christmas morning how
little difference a little handker-
chief of sachet or collar can make.
And think how much real differ-
ence the same money used to buy
a doll or a toy can and does mean
to a little kid. You are going to
hear more about the plan, but we
just want you to be thinking
about it and deciding that this is
the nicest way to give Christmas
presents,

FIRE, SPEECHES, YELLS!

Who says athletics are not on
the boom at Agnes Scott? Well,
if you do you couldn’t have been
on the campus on the memorable
night before Thanksgiving; for
really no boys’ schools on the eve
of a big football game could have
shown better or bigger athletic
spirit.

When such a notice as ‘‘watch
Main building’’ is given out, ev-
erybody gets busy. ‘‘What’s
Main going to do?”’ That’s the

uestion and here's the answer:
Prin ply atter supper the watch
began, Everybody got together
around a big bon fire in front of
Main and then the fun started.
The band, harmonious as ever,
blazed forth in the new athletic
song and the crowd took it up
with what Mrs. Barnstable would
have termed ‘‘pip and ammuni-
tion.”’ Next, short, snappy
speeches were made by the repre-
sentatives of the different teams.
After many yells, pulled off with

unusual force by the several
classes, the imevitable ‘‘Agnes

Scott’s going to win again,’’ was
struck up and the snake dance
around the fire ended the ‘“‘spir-
ts’? for that night.

We are glad to see the spirit of
athletics awake again at A. 8. C.
There is nothing that gives true
college spirit like a lot of rous-
ing athletic spirit. It is the kind
of thing that grips you and makes
you want to do something and
that’s the kind of living spirit we
need right here.

All together, girls, let’s give
nine long rahs, and nine strong
rahs for athletics.

on one for next spring! Of course
we all intend to carry out the sug-
gestion to the letter! We were
surprised that all the tragedies
as well as the histories were not
ineluded, but probably we are to
do that for next time!

amuse as well as instruct his men,
and to that end he arranged a

was Adam and Eve in the Garden

Suddenly an inspiration struck
‘the sailor, and to the consterna-
tion of the chaplain and the de-
light of the audience the gramo-
phone squawked out:

‘“‘There is only one girl in this
world for me.”’

A SUDDEN STOP.

A lady entered a railroad car
and took a seat in front of a new
married couple. She was hardly
seated before they began making
remarks about her.

Her last year’s bonnet and coat
were fully criticised with more or
less giggling on the bride’s part,

Dear Miss Clairo:

There is one thing that puzzles
me in one of my classes. I never
‘do have time to study, yet [ ‘al-
ways get A on tests. M. F., a
friend of mine studies all the time
and yet always gets F. What do
you suppose is the reason?

Anxiously,
I, A,, Junior.

Dear H. A.:
You are in a bible class I sup-
pose. Your professor, you are
aware, is extremely fond of allit-
eration. For that reason he gives
all the girls whose name begin
with A an A, B.a B; F an F;
W a W, etc. Therefore you need
not study. You will always get
A, and your friend, F.
Calm yourself,

60 STUDENTS GIVE $2800

To Fund for War Prisoners.

Under the general supervision
of the Williams College Christian
Association the biggest movement
in the line of relief work
which has come to the college was
launched yesterday when repre-
sentatives of the international
‘committee of the Young Men’s
Christian Association opened a
campaign to raise money for the |
$150,000 relief fund for war pris- |
joners in Europe. Already $2800 |
/has been pledged for this fund by |
|the first 60 Williams College stu-
dents interviewed,
| Early in the year a committee
‘of men from the Williams Chris- |
tian association met at Ilartwell- |
ville, Vt., and discussed plans for

war

jopening the campaign at Wil-
liams. At their request George

Irving, editor of the North Amer-
ican Student, the official publica-
‘tion of the International Young
Men’s Christian Association, and
| Francis P. Miller, secretary of the
/international committee of the
Young Men’s Christian Associa-
tion, came to Williamstown to
help place the movement before
the college.

The first intimation of the ¢am-
paign came in a masterful sermon
which William Douglas MacKen-
zie, president of Tlartford Theo-

| ers

youth who was a junior in a large
American college at the outbreak
of the war.

“Tf I ever have to go back to
the trenches and walk and sit in
holes full of mud and rats as I
had to do before I’m sure I would
go insane. They tell me I am
crazy now, but who isn’t under
such conditions? If only some of
the Americans could come over
here and see the conditions as we
do I am sure they would feel as
we do toward the war and the
poor men who, like me, are fight-
ing for their country and God.
But by all that’s holy I wish that
I might die now instead of rotting
away in prison.’’ The letter con-
tains a description of the condi-
tions in the prison in which he is
a captive and tells of the death
of the boy’s own father, who was
driven insane and finally died next
to his son in this prison.

The purpose of this appeal is
to raise $150,000 among the stu-
dents of American colleges to alle-
viate the suffering among the pris-
oners in Europe. These prison-
are not beggars, but like
the student, were themselves en-
rolled in colleges and universities
in Europe before the outbreak of
the war.

WHAT’S WHAT IN

ATHLETICS.
We've got enough material

‘running around loose” on this
campus, to cheer up the spirit of
athletics, so he’ll wear that grin
that never comes off, And haven't
you noticed that he has had on a
very broad, happy smile here
lately ?

The heads of the athletic asso-
ciation have some plans that are
coming true just as rapidly as pos-
sible for using up that material.
They are going to make athletics
so lively that he can’t possibly
lose that grin. First of all, there’s
basket-ball. Every class in school
has a dandy team; and though
that team is a mighty important
thing, yet every member of a class
indirectly helps to win a game by
the enthusiastic support she gives
the team. You see, the players
are just working as hard as they
can against the other team; they
ean’t think about winning; that’s
for you to come out and do.

Mrs. Parry is to have student
assistants as coaches in basket-
ball. This plan is used in other
colleges; and to be chosen as an
assistant coach is looked upon as

a great honor, because a coach
must be a girl who knows the

game thoroughly, who is capable
of directing both new and old
players, and who can be of great |

Parry has chosen as her assistants
for this year Amelia and Hallie
Alexander, and the teams are for-
tunate in having two such capable
girls to help them.

The Thanksgiving games were
dreadfully exciting, but each time
a game is played, it gets more and
more exciting, because it makes
the final outeome that much closer,
The next game will be played Sat-
urday, December the sixteenth.
Don’t forget that you can help to
win that game and that your team
needs you. Come out, evens and
odds, all of you; and yell!

You have heard a lot about
hockey, and you have seen some

lively practices on the athletic}

field, and next Monday, December
eleventh, you’re going to see one

of the liveliest match games you’ye |

ever seen. The purples and the

whites are going to have their first |

big battle, and everybody is get-
ting terribly excited.
is going to be there again, and
help in the excitement. Be sure
and come early, so you can get the
best view of the game; the play-
ing will begin at four. Learn the
new athletic song so you won’t be
the only one not singing.

Are you thinking about the pic-
ture contest the association is go-
ing to hold? Lots of good ath-
letic pictures have been taken al-
ready; see what you ean do. The
hulletin board is going to hold an

there. Try it, anyhow; you've
no idea how many interesting

subjeets you ean find.

And the association is planning
something else new. When you
hear anyone say ‘‘Tennis Club,”
you always think of an annual
pictare of about twenty-five girls
in white middy suits hanging their
rackets over the net, and the
sweet information ‘‘ Twenty-five
cents, please,’’ thrust upon you.)
don’t you? But this year we’re
going to have a real club, worthy
of the name. It’s going to be a
regularly organized affair
will mean something to the ath-
letie spirit and to Agnes Scott.
The charter members will be girls
who have already played in tour-
naments. The club will have the
management of class tournaments,
and the interclass tournaments.
The mem-
bers who will be taken into the
club will be girls who play in
tournaments during the year, So
the membership in the new Ten-
nis Club will be worth while, and
well worth striving for.

Everyone of you can do some-
thing, and there’s something for
everyone of you to do. Come out
and show your spirit and make
athletics a great force in the life
here; and while you're helping
athletics, you'll be helping your-
selves, for you'll be having a good

value to the whole team. Mrs. exhibition of them soon; and prob- time.

of members of the college com-

A very entertaining program was
rendered as follows:

Merry Xmas to Little Syrians.

It is very necessary for all of us
to be willing to lend our efforts
towards making the little Syrian
children as happy as possible Sat-
urday night. Of course all of us
are very excited over the idea of
going home for the Christmas holi-
days, and rightly so, but we must
not be so engrossed with thoughts
of ourselves that we forget the
happiness of others who are less
fortunate than ourselves. You)
may not have any special duty to
perform in connection with this
Christmas tree, but that does not
relieve you of al] responsibility.
It is just as much your duty as
any other girl’s to contribute as
largely as possible to the happiness
of these little children. Tf you do
not know what to do, just go to
one of the girls on this special
committee and ask them if there
is anything vou can do to help in
this worthy enterprise. . There is
plenty of work to be done and all
we need are those who are ready
and willing to do it. This may
call for some small sacrifice on|
your part but you will be amply |
rewarded in the end when you see
how happy these children will be.
So let’s all combine in our efforts
to give those children the happiest |
Christmas they have ever known,
on Saturday night.

“Yes, I got you sewed, too!”
replied his diminutive nephew,
with a diabolieal grin,

“Oh! I don’t mind a little thing
like that, son. There's another
man that thinks he’s got me ‘sew-

as with unerring aim he drove the
elusive 2 ball against the 15, and
threw both into the pocket.

“Whew! Wish I could do that.

Pal, scenting a story.

“Nothing, son, you wouldn’t

wisely. ‘‘L know all about that.

THE CHRISTMAS SERVICES. |

It has been the eustom at Agnes
Scott for several years for the Y.
W.C. A. to hold a Christmas serv-
ice in the chapel the Sunday be-
fore the holidays. Christmas
carols are sung under the diree-
tion of Mr. MacLean and there is
a regular choir. We hope that}
everybody will come to this serv-
ice for it is one of the most beau-
tiful of the whole year in its sim-
plicity and earnestness. We un-
derstand it is to be a ‘‘White
Christmas”? service.

OUR WISH TO YOU:

May Each
Holiday be
Full of Joy,

eyer since you’d graduationeered
from college that Vivian Brown
had just played with you, and
screwed—screwed—screwed you
around her little toe.”’

“*T suppose you mean twisted
around her little finger.’’ correct-
ed his unele, grimly. ‘‘Go on.’’

“That’s all. Unele Phil, is she
coming to your house party to-
morrow ?"’

“Yes. Why?”
“TY am wild to see her, Uncle
Phil. I have heard so much about

her,’’ replied Pal in perfect imita-
tion of a gushing young lady who
had visited them, not long since.
“Won't you make ’em lemme stay

up late every night ?”’
But Phil was not listening.
Almost uneonseciously, he was

speaking his thoughts. “‘Why,
Pal, she doesn’t play with me: She
is the sweetest, truest woman in
the world. Tt isn’t her fault if
Dick Maynard is mad about her.
She doesn’t encourage him, she is
engaged to me.”’

Pal waited patiently, then,
*Tnele Phil, can’t I stay up late
every night to see her?’

Rather more to avoid argument
than anything else, Phil promised.

“*T know all about girls, Phil,”’
offered Pal. ‘‘You know I been en-
gaged to Virginia ever since she
was two. She hardly ever does
come to see me now. Guess she
thinks she’ll have to stay at my
house enough when we grows up
and gets married.”’

The next day the house party
arrived, consisting wholly of
Philip Carter and Vivian Brown.
Pal was not over-impressed with
her the first day when she refused
to arise in time to count the cars

on the swiftly moving eight
o'clock freight for him; the

second day, when she refused to
blow up his. water rings, so he
could go out in deep water alone,
he began to ignore her; but the
third day, when she refused to
allow him to accompany Phil and
her for a ride in Phil’s beautiful
new racer, he positively loathed
her. Pal’s quick eye had also
noted that she was giving Uncle
Phil a bad time of it. She flirted
with the other men, but if Phil so

rch as looked at one of the other
girls, she took him to task.

Pal happened in on one of these
stormy sessions. As Miss Brown
flung herself angrily from the
room, he turned to Philip with a
consoling word.

“Don’t vou mind, Unele Phil.
Girls always gets mad like that,
onet mamma read me out of the
prayer book or the Bible or some-
where,—no, 1 guess it wasn’t the
Bible or the prayer book, either;
it was a big book with a yellow
hack. Anyway, she read me where
it said, ‘Girls was onreliable like
a mule’s hind leg.’

Phil smiled in spite of himself,
and Pal resumed, ‘‘Once when I
took another girl riding in the
pony cart. Virginia wouldn't

days—no—,*’ reminsecently, ‘I
cuess it was about two million
days.’

That afternoon it poured rain,
Pal erew tired of the erowd in the
living room and hegan strolling
over the house in search of amuse-
ment. Tle finally stopped in a lit-
tle writing room and erawled up
to the desk to enjoy the forbidden
ink. <A fresh, clean blotter had
heen put on the desk, and there
was the clear imprint of a whole
letter on it; Pal tried in vain to
spell it out; then he happened to
think of something you could do
with a mirror and a blotter, that
daddy had showed him once. Tle
ran away and soon returned with

having an
Now. what does that spell, ding
bust it!’’ Pal was completely
stumped. At that moment he
heard some one pass the door, and
looking around, saw to his joy
that it was his Unele Phil.

‘*Phil, come here a minute and
tell me what a-b-o-m—-.”’

‘*“What in the world are you
doing, Pal. Oh! I see. That’s not
exactly honorable is it, son? I—,”’
he stopped short as he read the
reflected words:

“Dear Dick:

*T am having an abominable
time. I wonder if Philip Carter
really imagines I am in love with
him. You don’t mind me playing
around, having a good time with
him as long as you know where my
heart is. do you, dear ?—”’

Philip read no further; for sev-
eral minutes he stood as though
turned to stone. Finally he spoke
very calmly to the little boy, ‘‘Pal,
let’s put this mirror up and go
shoot billiards. You musn’t ever
say anything about us reading
that to anyone—hear—not to your
mamma, or grandma, or anyone.
It’s our seeret.”

**T won’t say nothing to nobody
about it ever.*’ Pal played his
trump eard with assurance. ‘‘Tlow
late will you make ‘em lemme
stay up to-night, Uncle Phil?’’

His big uncle laughed down at
him, as he replied, ‘‘Until in the
morning if you want to, son.”’

Schools and Pupils.

Springfield schools, Springfield
stedents and Springfield teachers
were highly honored at impressive
exercises in the Auditorium
week Wednesday in connection
with the formal presentation of
the Dartmouth trophy by Presi-
dent Ernest Martin Hopkins to
central high school and the Pan-
ama-Pacifie awards to the three

high schools and _ vocational
school. Collectively the awards

represent the highest honors that
have been gained by eastern
schools during the year and in
themselves are silent tributes to
the high standard of scholarship
maintained in the schools of the
city and the efficiency of the
school authorities. Each was
gained through superior scholar-
ship in competition with leading
schools from all parts of the coun-
try.

The Dartmouth trophy. a beau-
tiful bronze shield 18 inches high
on a mahogany standard, was
awarded to central high school for
the highest scholastic rank obtain-
ed by a secondary school delega-
tion in the freshman class of the
college this year. It was won
through efforts of Charles L. Clay,
Henry O. Holley and Russell
Whitney. This is the first year
the college has made a presenta-
tion of this nature. The idea will
be continued annually.

The Panama-Pacific award, a
gold medal about three inches in
diameter. was presented the
Springfield high schools for at-
tainment in applied art.

Hygiene is the science of health

we preserve our mental health.
He placed the diseases of the
mind in two classes. In class one
he placed idioey, imbecility and
feeblemindedness, In class two is
insanity. The cause of feeble-
mindedness are heredity and acei-
dental. Heredity is the cause of
eighty per cent. of the cases of
feeblemindedness. There are cases
that are accidental which are due
to injuries before or after birth of
the child, aléoholism, or to any
exhausting illness in parents.

Feeblemindedness is of great im-

but when several Juniors were

very knowing! We are sure that
this ‘‘show’’ will be a great sue-
cess for there are a good many
girls in the Junior class who have
talent along these lines.

It has not been decided what
kind of a show they will give.
whether it will be a play, or a

seventy per cent. of the habitual
drunkards are feebleminded, On

account of the far-reaching re-
sults of feeblemindedness. the
problem is of increasing impor-
fance. The United States makes
small provision for the care of
these cases. Georgia does not pro-
yide a single place for the care of
the feebleminded. .This is gross
neglect for there are over four
thousand children in this state
who are mentally deficient. A dis.
tinction must be made between
feebleminded children and retard-

some physical disturbance. For
these feebleminded people an in-

Committee of Y. W. A, enter-

college this semester with a de-
lightful little ‘* Anti-Homesick-

vited to Miss Louise Slack’s room
where they were regaled with
creamed chicken and marshmal-
lows on toasted crackers. To add
to the enjoyment the Big Four
quartet rendered several classic,
and otherwise, selections. The
affair cheered the new girls and
they forgot their usual after-din-

NEW IDEAS. _
Read This, Girls!

We have all heard of the
“ideas’’ gotten at the Woman's
Inter-collegiate Association for

student government, but as other
matters have come in and prevent-
ed our carrying. on these new
plans, we haven’t as yet entered
on any line of action for the ** pos-
sible future expansion of student
government.”’ But now that we
are breathing freer, since Christ-
mas rush and exams are over, we
can begin to carry out our plans.

Let us remember that we are
not adding these new ideas or put-
ting in this new system merely for
the sake of having something new,
but forsa very definite purpose.
We want to make our government
a more vital thing to every mem-
her of the student body, to inspire
each of then’ with the spirit of
self-government, and to, impress
each girl with her own sense of
responsibility as a member of the
assofiation.. To do this our plan
is to give as many girls as possible
a direct share in the administra-
tion of*student affairs. Thus, we
will make the government a more
perfect thing. a more complete
affair than merely an organ for
carrying out the discipline of the
school. Then, by bringing more
students into a closer knowledge
of the inner workings of student

government. we will -bring the
Executive Committee in closer

touch with the student body and
bring them to realize that that
committce is not one merely to
run after them and catch up with
them. In this way, too, we hope
to perfect more our honor system.

**Parlez-vous Francais Well,
if you do, you should by all means
be present at the French enter-
tainment to be given in the chapel
on Friday evening. Not only all
the members of our college com-
munity are invited, but also sev-
éral outsiders who are interested
in French. The French I and
French 0 students are distinguish-
ing themselves by bringing this
splendid entertainment to our very
door.
students have been taking part in
affairs of this sort during the
whole year as members of the
Allianee and now the others are
showing how deeply interested
they are in French by giving this
performance.
French faculty are assisting them
in this worthy undertaking. This
entertainment promises to be very
interesting as well as very instruc-
tive. They have been able to se-
cure Madame Guerin and_ her
daughter to give this performance.
They will give interpretations of
various characters in French his-
tory, in which they will appear in
costumé, At intervals, slides will
be shown... This will enhance the
and will make it. on the whole,
tres-interessant. Madame Guerin
and her daughter are very inter-
esting people and have attained
wonderful suecess in this line of
work. It is indeed a privilege to
be able to hear these two talented
women. They have already given
about five hundred of these enter-
tainments at different places in

the United States, have ap-
peared at several of the lead-
ing colleges in our country.

and many stand witness to their
extraordinary ability. Now they
are going to appear at Agnes
Seott, so we will be able to see and
hear them, also. This is indeed
an environment in which to learn
French, if we have any desire to
do so. So let all those who are at
all interested in French, assemble
in the chapel Friday evening to
witness this entertaining and in-
structive performance.

ORIGINAL DRAMATIZATION.
Delightful Occasion,

On last Wednesday evening, the
school enjoyed a most pleasing
event. Miss Lois Hardy, graduate
of the School of Expression at
Boston, resident of Senoia, Geor-
gia, gave her own original dra-
matization of Mary Johnston’s
hook, ‘‘To Have and To Hold,’ at
the invitation of Miss Gooch. So
far as is known, this is the best.
if not the only dramatization of
this delightful book which has
ever been made. She is a reader

of marvelous ability and the
charm of her melodious voice

thrilled every hearer. We breath-
lessly followed the hero and hero-
ine in their domestic ups’ and
downs as well as their later ad-
ventures, and the magnetism of
the reader was so great that we
felt as if we were really living the
life portrayed. On every side

that we were in time to witness
the vaudeville, consisting of ‘*Ha-

her name with ease.) During the
intervals when not listening, we
discovered the origin of the name,
booths displaying well-known
products of Georgia, Alabama,
and Florida.

The Georgia Federation of Wo-
men’s Clubs furnished a comforta-
ble little sitting-room, where a few
rested from the arduous toil of
sight-seeing. Several investigated
the ‘‘sweet’’ booth of Martha
Washington candies. Perhaps the
most interesting of all the displays

colleges and schools. Then the
city organist. Mr. Chas. A. Shel-
don, Jr.. played a beautiful pre-
lude, written by his father, on that
enormous organ which happens to
be the largest in the South.

Then, on common ground with
opera stars, the Agnes Scott dele-

gation waited behind the scenes

while Mayor Asa G. Candler de-
livered an enthusiastically receiv-
ed address. After that, looking
like ‘‘a nawful few,’’ the patient
little bunch of girls gave ** Agnes

the accompaniment of Tech’s yells

—‘Tlottentot."" The ‘‘extras’

members of the Glee Club to sing

Music Hath Charms

Tech’s Fine Performance.

On last Saturday evening, Agnes
Scott was favored with a concert
given by the Georgia Tech Glee
Club and Mandolin Club.

Judging from the excitement in
the hall of Main Building, and the
fluttering, hurrying Seniors, one
would have supposed there was
something afoot. It was, in fact,
quite an event in the social calen-
dar of the school. When the long
line of the Mandolin Club filed on
the stage, one little Freshman was
heard excitedly to whisper that
she had forgotten there were so
many men in the world!

Rag-time selections by the Man-
dolin Club met with the approval
of the audience. ‘‘ Yacka-Ifula-
Hicky-Dula.”* ‘‘Back to Dear Old

Tennessee,”* ‘‘ And They Called It
Dixie Land,’’ were among the
most popular. By request, the

Mandolin Club gave the Washing-
ton and Lee swing.

The Glee Club gave a new (2)
version of **Mary’’ and her nu-
merous possessions. *‘Maregarita’’
was rendered most tenderly and
feelingly. ‘*One More River to
Cross’" was especially liked be-
~vause ofits ending, —“* Yo Ho, for
a Jolly Good Sail”? was given with
almost as much spirit as a Tech
song on the football field. Then.
of course, there were the ever-
popular football songs, and the
audience and the singers both
grew enthusiastic over what the
“Yellow Jackets’? would do to
Georgia. ‘‘The Barcarolle’’ from
Tales from Hoffman, was given as
the closing number and was very
greatly enjoyed.

Between Glee Club and Mando-
lin Club numbers were songs by
quintettes, quartettes, and solo-
ists, as well as instrumental nuim-
hers which were pleasing. The
quartette accompanied by the
guitar was a very attractive varia-
tion from the usual order of
things.

The solo, ‘‘Roll On, Thou Dark
| Blue Ocean, Roll.” was very well
rendered by Mr. Francis Wrench.
Mr. Jimmie Craig’s singing of ‘‘ At
Dawning*’ was encored and fol-
llowed by the familiar and much-
loved **Who Knows?”’

versatile Mr. Tom Sims (who
“seemed to do just everything’? as

upon the patriotic side of the
society, that it was a glorious duty
to belong to such a society. Mrs.
Gordon-Smith was in France at
the outbreak of the war and saw
the splendid work of the Red Cross
there. She explained the courses
and that having taken these, any-
one would be qualified to be a
nurse's attendant. She then gave
out the slips. The membership is

cures the magazine. Mrs. Gordon-
Smith made a deep and lasting im-
pression on all her hearers.

A dignified parade of the women
of Atlanta, in which Agnes Scott
was invited to take part was held
Thursday. Every division was un-
der a Red Cross banner and Agnes
Scott formed one division.

MR. SHAEFFER’S SERVICE.

The service Sunday night, Feb-
ruary 11, was led by Mr. Shaeffer,
from Atlanta, and was both inter-
esting and helpful in its earnest-
ness. Mr. Shaeffer is a man of a
very strong personality and his
service was one of the finest of the
year. It was not his first visit to
us and we hope we may have him
with us often during the coming
months.

habit it does mi
one, such as lear
writer, or reading rords in th
old **blue-backed’’ speller—but it
connotes a general tendency. It
is not a reflex but an ageney which
arouses us to do things and fur-
nishes an ideal.

Kinds and degrees of these
habits are many and varied. These
imay be classed as follows: (1)
the strongest which we acquire as
children and become a _ second
nature; (2) routine; (3) habits of
acting, as those of honesty and dis-
honesty; (4) weakest—which are
partially recognized by us; {5)
habits which we pick up and find
leave no lasting effect upon us.

Two kinds of originality can re-
sult from a habit which an indi-
vidual has acquired. One may be
what is termed vocational, and the
other expert. Naturally the last
mentioned is the most desirable.
If this man wishes to really make
his mark in the world, he is forced
te become highly proficient in each
habit which he makes use of.
Originality and initiative have as
their very foundations good hab-

its. Consequently, the edueator
ought to instil “‘right acting”
habits in the child. Eduea-

tion also takes on a more extended
meaning with reference to habit
for not only can certain connee-
tions be made, they ean also be re-
wade. Thus. improvement will be
much more marked in present
educational methods. Habit is the
result of educational training but
it is also being continually modi-
fied by this training. By con-
sidering the definitions of ‘*‘Edu-
cation,’’ a very excellent one has
been deduced when we say it is
“the making of character,’’? and
character “is but the sum-total of
our habitual tendencies."* Good
mental and emotional habits are
inevitably the result of an efficient

educational system. An edueca-
tor’s great work is to find the

highest ideals. Working for ideals
will make them become part of us.

“DUP, MORE OR LESS.”’
By Lorine Pruitt.

It was time for Mrs. Stainer to
die, and she just would’ not die.
At least that was the way her
nephew, or rather,her husband's
nephew, John, felt about it. Not
thing against his
aunt-in-law; generally speaking,
she was a very nice old lady, and

Circulation| Jolin felt he could have liked her

if it, had not been for the remarka- |
ble pertinacity with which she)
hung on to her money, or rather,
her lusband’s money. A very lit-
tle of that money would have en-
abled John to get his invention
across and to marry the finest girl
in the world.

She was a frail little old woman
of sixty-three, with faded cheeks
and mild blue eyes that could
twinkle pleasantly. She knew
very well that John wanted her
money, but she believed in letting
young men shift for themselves,
thinking that when she died it
would be time enough for John to
come into his fortune. And she
did‘ not intend to die for a long
time. Frequently on Sunday af-
ternoons, John and Marjorie went
out to a little suburb to look at a
cosy bungalow which they intend-
ed to buy some day, but that was
as far as they ever got.

Until Mrs. Stainer decided an

tions for increasing theiréfficiency
And nobody could ae-

and use:
ecuse him of being Jacking in
originality.

Mrs. Stainer was not exactly at
the bottom of the sea. At times
she was as much as thirty fathoms
deep, but generally about ten, and
frequently she came up. to the top
to view the scenery which con-
sisted mainly of a grey sky and a
grey ocean, sometimes enlivened
by the black hull of a passing ship.
The old lady was having the time
of her life. Not so, Captain David
Jones of the U. S. submarine No.
24. By the time he had spent four
weeks drifting about the Atlantic
Ocean, or rather under the ocean,
with the old woman close on his
heels every minute to see what he
was doing, he felt himself fitted to
apply to a home for nervous and
nerveless husbands or else that he
needed a six-weeks cure for de-
lirium tremens.

Not that Mrs. Stainer made any
attempt to escape. There was not
anywhere for her to escape to, as
the captain said, but still he felt
grateful that she did not harass
him with hysterics and pleadings
to be taken back to her happy
home. But still well, the captain
later told an interested audience
of two the story of that four
weeks’ trip and we might as well
hear it now.

‘*Well, to begin with,’’ he said,
stretching out his long legs and
lighting a very vile and ancient
pipe. “To begin with, she come
along peaceable. “Course when
we took her off the ship we threw

adjust ourselves. The business-de-
partment of the Agonistic turns
positively sick over the stern re-
alization of facts that it has hith-
erto been unwilling to meditate
upon for fear of learning the
truth. Unfortunately, some. of us]
are so prone to utter those words,
‘*Patronize our advertisers,’ with-
out really meaning what we say.
Now, girls, it does no good to
preach a thing we do not practice.
It is just about as effective in its
results as pouring water on
duck’s hack. We have no right to
say ‘‘Patronize our advertisers,, |
and then turn right «round+and
do the opposite thing. We have
no right to accept advertisements
week after week and then not
patronize-the advertises.

Do you still want e# college
paper? Well, if you do, you had
better wake up and get interested
in this at once, for perhaps you do
not realize the fact that our ad-
vertisements do a great deal to-
wards making its publi¢ation pos-
sible. We positively can not con-
tinue to publish the paper without)
the aid of some advertisements
and we éan’t expect to keep on
imposing on our advertisers with-
out really patronizing them. So
if you want the paper continued,
then trade with our advertisers.
Whenever you are going in town
to shop, look over the Agonistic
and then do your shopping with
those who advertise in our paper.
They earry as fine a line as you
will be able to find in town any-
way, so you will not be putting
yourself out in the least when you
do this. So let’s all wake up and
show our college spirit by patron-
izing our advertisers.

She set sail the first of May, ac-
companied only by her companion, |
Miss Jones, a middle-aged, inter-
esting spinster with a secret fond-
ness for romance. It might be
added that Miss Jones admired
John immensely.

The third night out, Miss Jones
roused the ship’ in her search for
her mistress, reporting that she
had insisted on going on deck
alone and had failed to return.
But her search was fruitless. Mrs.
Stainer was not on the ship. In
mid-ocean, the ship had unae-
countably lost her wealthiest pas-
senger. There was but one ex-
planation. People sighed and
touched their foreheads meaning-
ly..while Miss Jones, leaning over
the rail, wept salt tears into the
salty ocean where she was sure
her mistress’ body was* buried.

At about this time John and
Marjorie had a terrible disagree-
ment. It took them nearly a whole
day to become reconciled, Marjo-
riezhad almost failed to see John’s
view-point and at first she had in-
sisted that it was. not right and
she would not have it. But exer-
cising one of the virtues of the
‘‘weaker sex’’ she eventually gave
in and peace was restored.

When John got the cablegram
announcing his aunt’s disappear-
ance and suicide in the ocean he
rushed to Marjorie with it at once.
In the days that followed he had
many papers of importance to take
to her. It was found that John
was the old lady’s sole heir and
beneficiary with the exception of
a small legacy to Miss Jones.
Some weeks later when the estate
was settled and the talk’ about
Mrs. Stainer’s death had subsided,
John began having conferences
with important men in Congress)
and on committees of the Army
and Navy. John Stainer, the
multi-millionaire.,. secured — audi-

An’ the only way we ever got her
to go to bed was by promising to
come up to the top next morning
to let her see the view. Yes, we

the view, an’ we kept on comin’

bribe me, and by and by, when I
seen she had a sense of humor, I
up and asked her what I was to
get out of the trip. She said I was
to get the pleasure of her society.

SENIORS 9, JUNIORS 2.

The hest basket-ball game of the
season was staged last Friday af-
ternoon by the Seniors and
Juniors. Both teams were some-
what erippled, but the playing was
hard and fierce throughout. The
game was characterized by spec-
tacular individual playing in every
department rather than by team
work, although the latter was
pretty good also. Katherine Lin-
damood played her best game of
the year at forward for the
Seniors, scoring one field goal and
three free throws with ‘unerring
aceuracy. Ruth Nesbit also put
up a good game in the same posi-
tion. Hall and Lee held the
Junior forwards to only one field
goal.

For Leyburn and
Astes displayed excellent team
work and a stellar variety of
guarding. Brehm and Eve were
fast at getting the ball, but the
Senior guards proved a little too
much for them.

the Juniors,

The Seniors scored first on a free
throw by Lindamood, followed in
another few minutes of play by a
second free throw and a field goal.

Before the end of the first half
Nesbit had seored another field

goal and the score at the end of

As a great humane and patriotic
institution devoted to the mitiga-

humanity and the upbuilding of a
strong and vigorous people, the
American Red Cross Association
stands at the head of the list.

It is indeed a great privilege
that here at college we should be
granted the opportunity of assist-
ing in this work for the alleviation
of suffering and distress in times
of peace as well as in times of war.
The Y. W. C. A. has made it possi-
ble that we shall have the benefit
of these training classes where we

the American Red Cross Associa-
tion by sending $1.00 to the Na-

was afforded the class in psychol-

they are almost all poor children.
There have been cases, when there
was absolutely no hope given by
the doctor, which were cured.
The children are operated upon
and when well enough are allowed
to go home, But the work of the
Home does not stop there. There
is systematic ‘‘follow up work.’’
Miss Carter visits the homes and
sees that the children get the care
that is necessary. Miss Carter’s

Through Mr. Turner’s efforts
Agnes Scott girls are being afford-

interesting lectures. We all ap-
preciate Mr. Turner’s new plan of
bringing lecturers out here. At
present he is planning to bring out
Miss Donment. She is interested
in the same line of work, Uer lee-
ture will be most interesting and
will be supplemented with dia-
grams and pictures. We are look-
ing forward to her lecture.

‘“CUPID’S PARTNER.”’
Blackfriars? Yes!

We are all delighted over the
fact that the Blackfriars are going

to give a play and, rightly so, be-
cause they have done so much

credit to themselves in the past.
The play, which is called “*Cupid’s

Partner.”’ will be given in the
chapel on Saturday evening, Feb-

thirty.

| Election to Gamma Tau Alpha.

os

¥ - rN

Rarely does old Agnes Scott
feel thrills run down her spine as
she did last Saturday morning: at.
chapel. It was then that the en-
tire hour was turned over to
Gamma Tau Alpha, Agnes Scott’s
IIonor Society. Dr. Armistead. the
President of this organization, be-
gan his speech with a reference to
old days here when students were
awarded ‘“‘first, second, or third
honor,”’ as the case might be, It
was a difficult enough feat for a
girl to attain the high scholastic
standard set for second honor, and
candidates for first honor were
almost entirely lacking. So many
hours of ‘A. and B.’’ work in the
total 60 were stipulated that in-
justice was often done bright girls.
The faculty took the matter up
and the Phi Beta-Kappa members
of this body formed the Gamma
Tau Alpha Honor Society. There
is no real connection between the
two, though the inner organization
of Gamma Tau Alpha is modeled
on that of Phi Beta Kappa.

What do these words—Gamma
Tau Alpha—mean to the college
community? This body has set-a
two-fold standard on the student,
t and principal basis’ is
high scholastic attainment, for this
is the purpose of the college. Ae-
cordingly, our faculty has deter-
mined upon this record which
materially few are able to secure.
The other kind of achievement is
that of unselfish work for the col-
lege and for others which a stu-
dent should manifest, The busi-
ness of Gamma Tau Alpha is to
tuke a list of possible candidates
who have gotten the “‘grades,’’ to
sift them down and discover the
manner in which these persons
have received their learning.
“What honor they meant to the
college community ?*’ The intel-
lectual and moral nature of the
possible member are thoroughly
considered ga only those who
have the tri@’*‘college spirit’’ in
combination with scholastie attain-
ments can ever become regular
members,

Under a rule of the faculty the
society must not elect more than
one-fifth of the Senior class, and
it is not required to choose that
large a per cent. In the present
Senior class there are forty-one
Seniors, therefore the organization
was privileged to select eight. As
a matter of fact they only chose
six, but several of these Seniors
may prove their right to this
honor during the remainder of the
term.

No snobbishness should he ap-
parent in Gamma Tau Alpha mem-
bers. They have been recognized
as the best type of scholarship ex-
istent now in the Senior elass.
Their learning. is both sweetness
and light and their election is due
to the promise of the full attain-
ment in the future of Cardinal
Newman’s ‘‘philosophie knowl-
edge”?

Dr. Gaines made a few apt re-
marks on the very great honor
conferred on these new members.
Their great responsibility was the
last point which he appropriately
stressed.

The following is the list in

On Elections.

Ilave any of us ever thought
seriously enough about what-elee-
tions mean? We are all prone to
go to class meetings and student

government meeting and Y, W.
«, A. meetings with a certain

amount of curiosity and pleasura-

ble excitement concerning elec-
tions and with not enough con-
sideration of the relative merits

and capabilities of the girls who
are to be the leaders in the college
community, Have you ever been
to a class meeting and heard the
oir] next to you remark, “‘Do you
know, I believe I'll nominate So
and So for Secretary. She’s an
awfully nice looking girl and she’s
one of Mary’s brother's best
friends,’’ or have you ever been
to a student government meeting
.or a meeting for the election , of
Agonistic stait members, where
the whole thing seemed pre-
arranged by a certain group of

girls who wanted the members of |

their particular circle to hold these
responsible offices ?

Seriously. don’t you think the
college community as a whole and
collectively might consider elec-
tions in a graver light? Being a
leader means a lot not only to the
college community, but to the girl
who is serving, and we ean serve
our college in a very real and help-
ful way by. considering the capaci-
ties of the members of the college
for leadership. Dont’ let our self-
ish motives come into play. - Don't
let’s nominate our best friends nor
the girls with whom we asso¢iate
daily if they are less capable of
the office than other girls with
whom we may not be intimately
asso¢iated. Don’t let’s go to elee-
tions with a nonchalant air be-
cause these same best friends of
ours may not be elected. Don’t
let’s go with the idea that we are
not interested in student activities
for then we are saying that we are
not interested in our college. A
college in its life and In its en-
thusiasm is measured by the life
and enthusiasm of its student
activities and if we would keep
Agnes Seott strong and alive and
virile we must keep her student
activities alive with a very real
and a very telling strength and
enthusiasm.

The election for the officers of
Y. W. ©. A. comes off in less than
two weeks, followed by nearly all
of the elections to the important
offices in college It is the least we
can do for the good of Agnes Scott
to be thinking of the girls who are
best fitted for responsible leader-
ship in these offices. Let us come.
then, to these elections, putting
aside the selfish cause for our own
particular set or circle, forgetting
our inertia and lack of interest
and action, and with a very real
sense of serving the best interests}
and promoting the highest ideals
of Agnes Seott.

‘“‘DEEP, MORE OR LESS.”’
By Lorine Pruitt.
(Continued from last issue).

“Well, I got it. » We played
whist every night till two. ex-
ceptin’ when we played poker with
money up, and the old woman
winnin’ every time, But in spite
of being up late like that, every
morning she was up at eight, pok-

ing into everything on board,
messing up all my orders and

spoiling life in general, Not but
what she was a nice old lady—she
was just one of them kind of wo-
men that get on your nerves like
a gnat buzzin’ in your left ear. It
was four weeks an’ one Cay that
I stood in an’ then I cabled you.
I ve got a daughter at home an’ |
felt like she’d want her pappy’s
body to lie up there in the little
church graveyard when he died,
‘stead of in the ocean for shark’s
meat. An’ that’s where I’d a been
soon, for there’s one thing a cap-
tain can’t stand an’ that’s to have
somebody else a-bossin’ of his
boat. So I cabled you and you
sent back word for us to come on
and we made a bee-line for Chesa-
peake Bay and here we are.”’
The old captain knocked out his
pipe in the fireplace and smiled a
relieved grin at the pretty young
girl opposite him. The young man
who had been sitting at her side
with one arm back around her
where he thought the captain
could not see, rose and went to
the door of the next room.
‘*Auntie,’’ he ealled, *‘do

be too busy to be troubled with

The captain sighed and drew
himself up to his full height as if
awaiting a judgment from the
Supreme Court,

Mrs. Stainer went on:

“T am a little of an inventor
myself and I have made certain
plans for improving the comfort
of a submarine cabin, which I
should like to have put into effect
at once. I shall depend on you,
John, to see to this, as the captain
and I are desirous of a new and

enbach were seated on the plat-
form. Trustee MeCain was un-
avoidably detained and was forced
to miss the creditable exercises.

A pleasing program was ren-
dered by the children. The open-
ing song, ‘‘Mary Had a Little

fresh young voices. Katherine

pupils’ rest room) for their lunch
and games. WellLtfilled lunch bas-
kets with cakes and erackers and
all-day suckers were distributed
among the little girls; and deli-
cious punch was drawn out of the
well in the old tin bucket. Vari-
ous games were played during re-

and *‘Many, Many Stars,’’ the pa-

merry gambols of the happy
children.

After recess, the children filed
back into the class room for the
afternoon session, A Spelling Bee
was called for the afternoon, and
sides were chosen by the captains
of both sides. The children
showed remarkable training and
unusual ability in spelling words
of two syllables even. The, pupil
left standing received a beautiful
prize for her work.

After this, the class sang ‘‘My
Country “Tis of Thee’? with a
beautiful swing. Then the reports
were given out, and the patrons
were gratified to see that every
child had been promoted. The
teachers of the school were greatly
complimented on the splendid
work done, and the very excellent
and highly enjoyable closing day
program. The day closed at eleven
P. M. after one of the happiest
times that the little girls of the
Senior class had ever known.

THE' AGONISTIC

SENIORS WIN BASKET-BALL
CHAMPIONSHIP.

Score 24-21.

Last Friday afternoon one of
the closest and most exciting bas-)
ket-ball games ever witnessed at
Aenes Scott was played. After

four years of hard work the
Seniors have at last won the
coveted championship. What a

glorious and fitting climax for a
college course such as theirs! But|
the Seniors certainly don’t deserve| ‘
all the glory. Both teams showed
remarkable skill in handling the|
ball. and we congratulate you, not
only for your fine team work, but
also for your individual playing.
During the halves and quarters, |

Goldie and ‘‘George’’ led sky-
rockets and alligators. ‘til the en-|

thusiastic cheers inspired every)
girl to do more than her best. |
During the first half there was)

whole game, as the advantage
shifted from one side to the other |
unpartially, but especially at the
last; when there was only one more
minute to playiand the score tied!
The Sophomores played hard, but
somehow V. Y. got the ball. and
the Seniors got the vietory. While
congratulating 1917 on their vic-
tory we wish to congratulate 1919
on having a girl like Claire Elhot
on their team. If anyone showed
pep and class spirit, it was Claire.

efforts have been realized. It has
proved itself one of our most

the play on next Saturday even-

very entertaining one. The ad-

that the Dramatic Club is doing.

popular as some of the numbers of
the Tech Glee Club. We must
praise particularly their rendition
of **The Last Rose of Summer’’
and *‘Carry Me Back to Old Vir-
ginny’ already immortalized and
interpreted extremely well. The
eternally-beloved Barearolle from
‘Tales of Hoffman?’ was another
one of the most applauded pieces.

Miss ‘*Crip’’ Slack and Miss Lo-
rine Pruett accompanied the
larger selections ‘‘The Snow’ and

“Fly, Singing Bird’ in a masterly
fashion on their violins. Although
in different voices, naturally. this
performance of the melody so uni-

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1917.

No. 16

The Blackfriars’ Club Scores a Splendid Hit

Gigantic Work

Great Confederate Memorial On
Stone Mountain.

\ Quite ar interesting event of the
past week was the talk given by
Mr. Gutzon Borglwn, in the chapel
on Friday morning. Mr. Borglim
has been chosen by the Daughters
of the Confederacy to carve a me-
morial to the Confederate soldiers
on the side of Stone Mountain.
This is a great and splendid work
and one in which we are al] inter-
ested, so it was with great pleas-
ure that we heard Mr, Borglunt
speak. THe began his address with
a few remarks concerning wha
literature, art, architecture, seulp-|
ture. et¢c., have meant to the
greatness of the power of nations
in the course of history. This
served as a very effective method
of introducing the deseription of
his work, Then he went into a
detailed explanation of his plans
for carving the memorial, and
showed small sketches of the work
as it will look when it is com-
pleted. Ue said that the brain
work and the planning was al-
“ready done and only the material
work remains to be done. He said
that no work exactly like this has
ever been attempted before, so)
that he had to practically invent |

tay which_te..co—it,._-_The,Lowe-

actual work will begin in about
six weeks, and probably about six
years will be required to complete
it. The memorial will consist of
prominent leaders of the Confed-
erate soldiers on horseback in the
foreground, and an army of sol-
diers in the background. <A large
hall will be cut into one side of
the mountain. The door to this
hall will be dedicated to Georgia,
while there will be a window for
each of the other Southern States.

Mr. Borglum said that this
carving would stand out about six
feet in relief from the rock of
which it is carved, Beeause of
the gigantic seale on which this
work must be done it seems a little
dangerous for the workmen, but
Mr. Borglum said that every pre-
caution will be taken to prevent
any accident. He described to us
the methods that would be used to
insure safety for all the workmen.

This is a great piece of work
that he is undertaking, and we

should be proud to live in an age
that produces it. We all enjoyed
Mr. Boreglum’s address very much,
as it was instructive as well as
interesting, and we feel that it
Was a great privilege to have
heard hin.

CONCERT BY ARTISTS.

David and Clara Mannes.

The musie lovers of Agnes Scott
were given an unusual treat at
the Sonata Recital by David and
Clara Mannes. given under au-
spices of the Musie Study Club of
Atlanta at the Cable Hall, the
night of Washington’s birthday.
This was only one of the wonder-
ful series of concerts it has been
our pleasure to attend, and it was
enjoyed to the fullest extent. The
artists, David and Clara Mannes,
with violin and piano, were on
their first trip South after tri-
umphs at Philadelphia, Boston,
and other large cities.

Delightful Lecture.

Monday morning, February the
twenty-sixth, Tiariy of ‘the
Scott students and faculty were
addressed by Mr. Marion Jackson.
Dr. McCain presented Mr. Jack-
son to his large audience, yet an
introduction was not necessary as
Mr. Jackson is familiar to all of
us. The lecture was primarily for
the class in Economies, but it was
enjoyed by many others. Mr.
| Jackson's subject was ‘*The Street
Railway and Electric Company.”

God has put everything needful
jin this world for human life.
Groups of men have attempted to’
get possession of these forees and,
jinstead of their being a blessing
they become a curse. Mr. Jackson
explained that his talk was not
aimed at personal men in the com-
pany.

Ile goes baek to the publican, a
holder of a special privilege. The
publican was a collector of taxes
and paid the Roman government

for living on the people. The
Jews classified them as dogs.

John the Baptist once told a pub-
lican to take no more than his due.
The Georgia Railway and Power
Company handles one of theen
cessities of our own day and

ithe purpose of keeping up the
way, <A part of this tax fim
jgoes back to the government.

When the Georgia Railway and
Power Company asked the com-
mission to issue stocks and bonds,
ithey were buying Tallulah Falls.
They said they could develop an
enormous amount of horse power.
‘For each horse power they would
put in ninety-three dollars in cash.
For every ninety-three dollars,
they felt justified to expect people
to pay as if they had expended
three hundred dollars. The Rail-
road Commission refused at first.
The story started goine around
that the Commission was keeping
hundreds of millions of dollars out
of Georgia. The capitalization to-
ward which it is now moving is
eighty-seven million in stocks and
bonds. In reality there are two
companies—the Georgia Railway
and Power Co, and the Georgia
Railway and Eleetrie Co.

In 1900 the eapitalization was
about three million, At present
it is twenty-seven million of capi-
tal stock. Nearly all of the origi-

stock. Everything we wear or eat
tricity. The capitalist is in the
grip of a system that had got
started and he can not get away
from it.

For every hundred dollars of
bonds, they issue a hundred dol-
lars of stocks. A return must be
made on the stock held by the
‘‘innocent holder.”’ It is not right
or just to make thousands of

a sight most charming and unus-
ual for Agnes Scott—a dear little
girl teaching her dollie to danee.
The audience was delighted, and

> continued to be so until the end

of the play.

The Blackfriars as usual distin-
guished themselves in ‘‘Cupid’s
Pariner.’’ Even the Forsyth ean
boast of nothing better than ‘‘ Dan-
delion Mugg’’ (Miss Katherine
Reed). It is whispered that she
even brought tears of laughter to
the dignified eyes of the English

Department. And ‘‘ Mis: Mulea-
hey’’—but we all knew that
‘*Peanut’? Rowe was a star. She

did this part just a little bit better
than usual, though, and that’s go-
ing some for ‘‘Peanut.”’

The role of shop-girl was played
splendidly by Lois Eve, with
neither too exaggerated a style,

nor too commonplace a person-
ality. Ruth Nisbet, as Mrs. Free-

land, was most charming, and our
hearts went out to the brave Sybil

bled at the appearance of the
haughty Mrs, Jardine (Margaret
Phythian), so tatural were her
grim looks and proud shrugs.
The plot of ‘‘Cupid’s Partner”
was a little more serious than the
last play the Blackfriars gave,
“The Oxford Affair,’’ but was
none the less interesting on ae-
count of that. We all enjoyed it,
and we don’t think that there
were many who were in the audi-
ence that night who did not have
plenty of laughs because when it
was funny, ‘‘Cupid’s Partner’’
was ‘‘downright comie,’’ as one of
the audience, who had a ‘‘ window

Y. W. C. A,

The Tea~ Room.

This is not an epicurean sermon
nor even a plain hedonic disserta-
tion wherein the delights of the
tea-room or rather of its contents
are extolled, but a plain statement
of facts concerning this place.

To begin with the tea-room as
most of us know, js carried on un-
der the auspices of the Y. W. C. A.
and when we patronize it, we are
doing something direetly to help
the Y. W. C. A. of Agnes Scott.
The profits from the tea-room have
been woefully small lately. Of
course, we do not-want you to go
contrary to the wise and sensible
posters on the hnlletin board got
up by the industrious finance com-
mittee, but we do want you to
spend your money on the tea-rom

‘‘EXPERIENCE.”’

The Atlanta engagement of the
modern morality drama, ‘* Experi-
ence,’ which has been one of the
biggest theatrical sensations of re-
cent years, opened Monday at the
Atlanta Theatre.

The play was written by George
V. Hobart, and it is patterned
after the old time morality dramas
of four centuries ago. Yet while
it retains the form and manner of
the old plays, it is strictly up to
date, and is adapted to modern
conditions. The great novelty les
in the fact that it treats modern
and up to date situations just as
the priest-playwright of four cen-
turies ago treated the moral and
spiritual problems of that day and
age.

In ‘‘Experience.’* one sees in
ten vivid and dramatie scenes, the
principal events in the life of an
average young man who goes forth
into the world in search of fame
and fortune. The leading charac-
ter—ecalled Youth—says farewell
to Love in the little country cot-

tage, and with Ambition as his
euide, sets forth into the big
world. At the gates of the city.

Youth meets with Experience for
the first time. Experience is
shown as a wise old gentleman
who knows everything there is to

know, and he announces that he|

will accompany Youth upon his
journey, He introduces Youth to
Pleasure, symbolized as a beautiful
woman, and Pleasure takes Youth
to the Primrose Path, where he is
fascinated by the gayety and en-
‘tertaining life which unfoids be-
fore him. The glittering and gor-

age of most of the cheerful house- geous outlook does not last long.

Monday night at the Atlanta
Theatre will begin the week’s en-
eagement of D. W. Griffith’s stu-
pendous spectacle, **Intolerance.””
There will be a matinee daily
thereafter.

“Intolerance” is revolutionary
in its handling of dramatic themes

both of things as they were in the
far distant past and as they are
to-day in the present. The four
great parallel stories are handled
in a manner which gives the spee-
tator the feeling that he is living
in four widely separated ages of
tlle world’s history during the
progress of one evening. The
switching backwards and _ for-
wards from one story, to the other
is handled with such deftneys that
the interest is always maintained
at fever pitch. Each story stimn-
lates a new interest in the scenes
to follow.

Tremendous, indeed, are the
Babylonian scenes, those of the
St. Bartholomew Massacre, of the
times of the gentle Nazarene in
Judea and of the stirring, pulsat-
ing modern times. Nothing like
*“Tntolerance’’ has ever been pro-
duced, and it is not likely that
there will ever be another pro-
ducer who will be willing to un-
dertake the hazard of such a large
enterprise. Not only the magni-
tude of the spectacle itself but
the entire scope of its multitudi-
nous details show the presence of
an entirely new idea in the making
of productions of this type.

The scheme of the plot is to lay
before the world in thrilling story
form three great historic episodes,
the climaxes of which are brought
about by the passions aroused by
intolerance, and to weld those by-
gone episodes with the present

through the medium of a modern|

story which shows what intoler-
ance will do in this day and age
unless fanaticism is done away
with and meddlers are curbed.

Babylon, that wondrous cradle
of civilization, which gave arith-
metic and astronomy to the world,
lives again in all its splendors; the
Judea of the Man of Men appears
to wondering eyes as if the paint-
ings of the great masters had come
to life; the France of Charles the
Ninth and Catherine de Medici
becomes as real as the France of
to-day and flash by flash is told a
thrilling story of the present time.
Only real wizardry could so real-
ize and resurrect what imagina-
would scarce dare dream.

There will be a large symphony
orchestra and soloists.

Ho—hum! Excuse me, but I
always feel like this in spring.
Isnt it queer how different Feb-
ruary sounds from Mareh? And
here it is the second of Mareh! 1
always sympathize with Mrs.
Wiggs when she says, “‘I declare,
I never will git no work done. if
this weather keeps up!’’ Spring
wasn’t originally made for work.
Can't you feel yourself nodding

when your professor’s voice
drones away through sixty of

those long minutes which would
be glorious outside under the big
tree by the Library. Not that the
lecture isn’t valuable, but it
doesn’t harmonize with your
spring feelings.

I went to a French class the
other day and to save my lie I
couldn't keep-my mind on the les-
son.

| ‘*Racine—Corneille—Moliere,”’
the lady was saying.
| ‘*Jonquil—bring —teacher,’’ I
|was thinking—my mind centered
on our yard which was several|
nules away.
| The bad part was the lady called |
on me in the midst of my reverie
and I was too pre-oceupied with
spring to know what she was talk-
ing about.
| And as for romance! Every
year there is a new one. One thing
is very disappointing, though—to
have one’s best efforts in a roman-|
tie way. fall flat. I rode in on the
car with a lady who teaches Eng-

order as follows:

Miss Julia Abbott, who is well
known for her powers of mimicing
and for general dramatic ability.

Miss Martha Brantley, who is
also a valuable addition to the
¢lub.

Miss Elizabeth Denman, a girl
of very expressive actions, face,
and speech, and who is very much
welcomed.

Miss Marguerite Davis, a talent-
ed girl of the Freshman Class,
bright and capable.

Miss Claire Elliott, whom every-
one knows to be a EARP ERERN I,
gifted girl.

Miss Marion McCamy,
by the members as a
valuable co-member.

Miss Rebecca Whaley, a girl of
distinct talent and a good type
for many places in a dramatic
club,

Miss Elma Wimberly, of undis-
puted ability in this line of work.

After weleoming the members
just received, the business of the
club was attended to.

Miss Cady then gave a delight-
ful talk on the good work the
Blackfriars had done in the past
and on the expectations for the
coming performances. Ter cheer-
ing words made each member feel
very much encouraged and more
determined to do her very best for
the continued and increasing ad-
vancement of the club. Her good
advice and expressive gestures
conveyed her appreciation of the
duties of such a e¢lub and her
charming talk awoke in all a new
interest in drama.

CAUSES OF THE WAR.
Diplomatic Crises.

Everyone at
tensely interested in the present
war. Therefore, we are grateful
to the Y. W. ¢ for arranging
for a delightful series of talks on
this subject to be given by Miss
Cady. The course was begun last
Friday night, with an entertain-
ing and instructive account of the
origins of the war. Miss Cady pref-
aced her lecture with the state-
ment that she was attempting to
give us an unprejudiced account;
but that under the existing con-
ditions, it is impossible to main-
tain a spirit of absolute neutrality.
She assured us that she would
make no statement which was not
backed by authoritative evidence.
I only hope that the reporter may
give as impartial a statement of
the facts as did the lecturer.

After a brief discussion of cer-
tain phases of German diplomacy,
illustrated by the document re-
cently brought to light in rela-
tion to the United States and
Mexico,
outline the causes of the war.

The remote causes are the spirit
of nationality and commercial
rivalry. England, Russia and
France achieved national unity at
a comparatively early date, Ger-
many and Italy, about 1870. After
achieving national unity. Germany
found herself so situated that she
could not expand ‘‘ without tread-
ing on a number of susceptible
toes.’’ In connection with her
discussion of the spirit of national
unity, Miss Cady gave an inter-
definition of the Balkan

question. ‘‘When everyone is

In speaking of the direct causes
of the war, Miss Cady mentioned
the fact that since 1870, Germany

jhas been the most aggressive
|power in European diplomaey.
The German people have had

preached to them continually the
doctrine that they are a chosen
nation—‘the most unfortunate
idea that a nation could have in
its collective cranium.’* When
William II came to the throne in
1888, he was filled with the
thought that the Germans were
called by God to spread their
civilization over the world.

capital of an Austrian province,

Beautiful Co Concert.

The music lovers of Agnes Scott
enjoyed a very special treat Tues-
day evening at the concert, of)
Miss Christine Miller, the great
American contralto, with the
Alkahest Lyceum Bureau. Those
who went will fully agrée with
the Chieago Musical News, that
“she a joy, musically, artis-
tically and personally.’’ Miss
Miller, besides possessing a won-
derfal voice of unusual richness

is

ality and endeared herself to
every listener.

Beginning the program with
some delightful Old English and
Old Trish Melodies, she played
upon her audience in a_ skilful
manner in ranging from them to
Tschaikowsky and IIugo Wolf
songs. Of course, there were sev-
eral encores, Miss Miller conldn‘t
give a concert without them. One
of the most enjoyed was ‘‘Flow
Gently, Sweet Afton.”

Miss Miller is one of the fore-
most song interpreters in the
realm of songs, and she impressed
every member of the audience
with her graceful and artistic ren-

Whether the U Aifad States goes
to war or not is not the question
of immediate interest; Agnes
Scott is going to war with in-
juries, and we are carrying out
the poliey of Preparedness as hard

Cross Glasses have been organized
and the active work has already
begun. There are two classes,
each with the full quota o
twenty-five members, and there
are several girls on the waiting
list. Besides the members of

Augusta has a message that she
sends to the girls: ‘‘I just want
to give them a little ‘inside dope.’
While I am now running second,
and there is apparently no need to
worry about the Victrola, they
must remember that the contest
does not close until practically a
month after school is out. The
race as it stands now is very close
for second place, and unless I can
get enough votes to give me first

ALL ONE CROWD.

By Jessie Field. ©
One day | was
talking to a girl who lived in one
of the big houses in the stylish
part of town. 1 had heard that
there was to be a party the next

day and I asked her if she was
going.
“No, indeed,’ she replied.

‘They are not in my crowd.’

‘Your crowd?’ | asked, ‘and
would you please tell me who is
in your crowd?’

‘Me and Juliette and Gene-
ae e and Mabel and Madge,’ she
replied with a smile that was un-
conscious of the fact that she had
revealed the limits of her life.

‘<Well, of course it was not the
girls’ fault, for they were just the
finest girls I ever met anywhere.
But there never had been any-
thing in their town to bring all
“the girls together in just the way
that the Young Woman’s Chris-
tian Association did. And even
the association did not bring them
together in a day or a month,

gathered together in an old hotel
that they had made over into club
rooms. They told me of their
eymnasium classes and their Bible

study and their plans for a com-
munity chorus and many other
things. That night they were
there for a good time and the air
was warm with friendliness.
Wherever the girls happened to
be they were talking to the girls

next to them. There was the
straight, brown-eyed girl who
worked in the shoe factory; the

fair, earnest-faced girl just out of
Oberlin; the vivacious girl who
was the reporter for the county
newspaper; the sweet flower-
faced, fluffy-haired girl from the
five and ten-cent store, and the
charming girl home from Vassar
who lived in the biggest house in
all the town. Girls were there
from every ¢hureh in town,

STUPENDOUSNESS AND
SPLENDOR MARK
GRIFFITH’S ‘‘IN-
TOLERANCE.’’

In the beginning, please bear in
mind that mere words are inade-
quate to give even an approximate-

ly faithful indication of the stu-
pendous, staggering wonder that

‘Intolerance’? is. That is by way
of saving, that if there is.any way
for me to do so I want to_impress
you with the sweeping, grinding,
nerve-racking and bewildering
power of this second masterpiece
of David W. Griffith, which was
shown in Atlanta for the first time
at the Atlanta Theatre, Monday
night. —-

Never has anything been shown
here before which remotely sug-
gested the possibilities that lie in
the moving picture. The magni-
tude—the mainmoth scale upon
which certain scenes of *‘Intoler-
ance’? are produced—is utterly be-
yond the power of the imagination
to grasp fully and hold. This ‘is
true of ‘the Babylonian scenes.
The meaning of the line flashed on
the screen—‘ This hall is one mile
‘2—loes not dawn upon one
at first. The scene is shown for
some seconds before the treinen-
dous proportions of the setting
are fully realized. And presently
one has to pick out some single
little spot upon the screen and
gather the relation of a group of a
dozen or fifty human figures to
some great carving or bulwark of
a wall to bring- back the realiza-
tion of size and scope that is-in
the picture.

Barbaric In Splendor.

There are walls three hundred
feet high and wide enough to drive
a chariot along the top. There
are thousands upon thousands of
people. There is barbarie splen-|
dor, so. vast that the imagination
is taxed to visualize what the eyes
really see. There is thrill on thrill.
Great seige towers are overturned.
Men fall from &-Sat heights. Sad=
denly a giant of a man with one.
an

body. One sees the head of a
spear-enter the bare abdomen of
a victim and the blood spurt forth.
The whole cosmic wonder is pro-
duced with realism, that proclaims

Griffith the master producer,
which “‘The Birth of a Nation’’
heralded.- =

Compared with this first great
product of Griffith’s genius, ‘SIn-
tolerance,’’ is lacking in the emo-
tion-stirring features. There is in
this picture no appeal—no loéal
appeal, ifsvou please—to prejudice
or call to embittered passion. But
compared to “‘The Brith of a
Nation”? again, ‘‘Intolerance ‘>is
an aeon ahead of the predecessor
in the point of scenic s splendor and
great proportions, and is a peer
of “‘The Birth of a Nation’’ for
exciting action. :

As a drama, or even as a story,
“‘Tntelerance’’ can hardly be. con-
sidered a success. It is purported
to be the narration of four sepa-
rate stories of different ages of
the world, told simultaneously.
The result is a complicated lack of
coherence, but, at the same time,
a sequence of a number of highly
exciting and at, times even dra-
matic incidents.

~Wonderfulness of Picture.

It is in this very stupendousness
and splendor—the ‘‘wonderful-

‘ness’’—of the picture that its
worth as an entertainment lies.

And that, together with the dem-
onstration it affords of the great
work that can be done with mov-
ing pictures, is the sum total of
the worth of ‘‘Intolerance.”’
Incidentally, that is all the
worth it needs, if one is looking

three hours of the tensest excite-
ment of anything that has ever
been shown'in Atlanta. ne

There are a few more things
about ‘‘Intolerance’’ that must he
mentioned.

One of these is the splendid
work of Mae Marsh and Bobby
Harron. These are the present-
day heroine and hero of the pic-
ture. They are shorn of any of
the pompous and showy costumes
and settings and situations which
afford the other characters of the
picture. It is great acting that
carries them through. And great
acting it is. You are guaranteed
to shed a tear or so for Mae and
Bob before the picture is over.

The pieture carries with it a full
orchestra and several vocalists,
and the music is a very distinct
and greatly helpful feature of the
performance. It is very pretty
and well adapted to the pictures.
and follows the action of the piec-
tures as the musie of an opera.

Strangely enough, the one big
failure in the picture is the depic-
tiom of the crucifixion of Christ.

““Tntolerance’’ will be at the At-
lanta for the remainder of the
week with daily matinee and even-
ing performances.

OTIS SKINNER IN ‘‘MISTER
ANTONIO.”’

All lovers of» good acting will
rejoice in the next attraction at
the Atlanta Theatre on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, March 15,
16 and 17, when Otis Skinner,
most @ifted and most popular of
American actors, will be seen in
his latest success, *‘Mister An-
tonio,’’ a comedy of cheerfulness
which was written expressly for
him by Booth Tarkington, the
celebrated novelist. Mr. Tarking-
ton has not only written the ouit-
standing dramatie success of the
current season in ‘‘Mister An-
tonio.’’ but he has also succeeded
in reviving the romantic play in
ithe commonplace garb of present-
day life. Otis Skinner has
another of those picturesque roles
that he alone can play, and as an
Italian organ erinder he presents
the portrait of a
vagabond. It is big, vital and
vigorous and shows Skinner at his
best. ‘‘Mister Antonio’’ has won
first honors as the most delightful
dramatie entertainment of the
season, The story is based on the
Biblical tale of the samaritan who
befriended the man who fell
among thieves, and the action
takes place in New York and in a
small town with
trasting types. The
Frohman management sends a su-

perior supporting company and |
an adequate and artistic pro- ‘available young men at any social

duction. Matinee on Saturday.

ARTISTIC MUSICIAN.

One of the most artistic stu-
dent recitals ever heard here was
that of Miss Margaret Woods, in
piano Monday evening. Every
number was perfect in detail and
Miss Woods’ technique and inter-
pretation are beyond criticism.
This recital was most enjoyable
and we are proud to have such a
talented and skilled musician in
our school, The following was
beautifully rendered as follows:
1. Saint-Saens—

Allegro Appassionato.
(With second piano).
2. Chopin—
Mazurkas, op. 33. 1 and 3.
Valse ¢ sharp minor.
Valse ¢ minor.
Seeling-Reed Songs (after

Appassionato molto.
3. Ornstein-Suite Russe, op. 12—

“Dead Earnest” Comes to Life Again!

Interesting Leviate

Mr. McCord Speaks on Banking.

Monday evening, the twelfth, a
most interesting lecture was given
in the Players Lecture Room by
Mr. Joseph. MeCord. Dr. McCain
introduced Mr.. MeCord as the
president of the Atlanta Federal
Reserve Bank. Mri MeCord is
probably the leading banker in
the Southeast. His talk was on
“Some Interesting Features of
Banking—Past and Present.’’ Mr.
MeCord presented a difficult sub-
ject in a very clear way..

Since the beginning of the
world there has been trade and
barter. At first there was eéx-
change of goods. A medium of
exchange was needed. Eighteen
hundred years before Christ the
first metallic medium of exchange.
money, was used. Pearls, beads,
and shells were used as a medium
for exchange. Gold and silver are
now the chief medium of ex-

change.
Gold is the real medium of ex-
change. If we raised our

standard to the diamond it would
he troublesome. In any country
in the world the equivalent weight
of a pound of gold money is given
in the money of the other coun-
try. For example in Russia, for
five dollars in gold we would get
rubles, in Germany pfennigs. The
value of gold is the same the
world over:

Oglethorpe conceived the plan
of having colonial money, which
was used in the form of “‘I O
U’s”’ to the men until the ships
came with the money. After this
eame the continental money. The

first national bank was establish-|

ed and then broken up on account
of political reasons. The second
national bank was. discontinued
by Jackson in 1837. Then state

banks sprang up all over. the
country. Some of these were
sound and some were on the

“‘wild cat’’ plan. The banks be-
gan to issue too much paper money
for the gold they had in reserve.
The Suffolk system arose to
steady banking relations. This
system would redeem all paper
money of a bank that belonged to
this system. It would clear the
checks for the banks. It was
very satisfactory, but the Civil
War broke it up. At this time
there was an upheayal of credit
all over the country. Each state
had its banks. Some redeemed
their paper money, some did not.
Greenbacks got down to forty
cents on the dollar.

President Lincoln looked to
Simon P. Chase to formulate the
national banking system. This sys-|
tem has many conservative
clauses in it. It prevents many
state banks from coming into it.
because they do not wish to be so
hindered. There are so many
state banks in comparison to
national banks. There is more
money, however, deposited in the
seven thousand five hundred
national banks than in the eight-
een thousand state banks. There
must be a capital in the national
bank that is proportional to the
population. The national bank
must also carry a certain amount

A Musical Star

Miss Nelson’s Ability.

One of the © most: énjoyable
events of the weék was the piano
recital of Miss Priscilla Nelson
Monday night. Each number was
artistically interpreted and the
technique was faultless. Miss
Nelson is a most talented girl and
this was another instance of her
musical ability. Especially to be
noticed were her renderings of
the Bach Prelude and Fugue and
the Schumann Kinderscenen.

Her program was:

1. Bach—Prelude and Fugue.
Mendelssohn—Prelude.
Schumann—

1. Entreating Child.

2. Happy Enough.

3. The Bogie Man.
Jensen—

Etudes, 4th and 5th.
Chopin—

Preludes, 1 and 4.
Albeniz—

Nochecita.
Bach-Macdowell—

1. Courante.

2. Minuet.

3. Gique.

A FUTURE TREAT,

An unusual event to look for-
ward to is the organ recital of
the distinguished French organ-
ist, Joseph Bonnet, a vice-presi-
dent of the American Guild of
Organists, Honorary Fellow of
the London Royal College of Or-
ganists, and sent over by the
French government to give the
American people an opportunity
to hear the most famous pupil of
| Alexandre Guilmant. This dis-
tinguished musician and artist
should be heard by every one.
The organ concert will be held at
the Auditorium, March 20.

2.

Another interesting recital in
piano will be that of Miss Elise
| Currell next Monday night, March
19. Elise is a ‘‘new girl’’ but is a
very talented musician and a
credit to the department. Every-
one is cordially invited to be pres-
ent.

On Tuesday night Mr.
W. Turner, our professor of Edu-
cation and Philosophy passed
away at the Davis-Fischer Sani-
tarium in Atlanta. Mr. Turner
‘had been ill for several months
and a week ago it was thought
best that he go for treatment to
‘the sanitarium. He grew steadily
worse, and after an operation
Monday night he was told that
he could not live. His father
‘reached Atlanta Tuesday from
St. Peter, Minnesota.

In Mr. Turner’s death the
whole college feels a deep loss.
Besides being a brilliant scholar
Mr. Turner was a splendid teach-
er—his untiring efforts in behalf
of his classes, bringing lecturers
‘and preparing work were a part
of his excellent system. Mr. Tur-
ner was one of the most perfect
gentlemen and a most lovable

Whither Tiny Sparrow!

A Flight of Fancy.

Did you notice all those grey
hairs, floating about the campus
the first of the week? We saw
some sparrows up by Agony office
who had made a nest of them, and
who had so many left over after
the nest was finished. that Mrs.
Sparrow saved them to make a
blanket for the babies on chilly
days. It was such a sad and
striking phenomenon that we sent
one of the youthful- reporters to
follow the sparrow couple and see
where all the hairs came from. If
the souree should be exciting it
could fill up space in between the
advertisements, and, if not, cer-
tain members of the staff who are
fast turning grey themselves
would be only too glad to have a
switch, when the necessity should
arise.

Away went the youthful re-
porter flying along over the cam-
pus with her head high in the air
watching the sparrows. The
sparrows flew; the reporter ran,
keeping both eyes on the birds.
Past Science Hall, past the Li-
brary they took their course, when
bang! down went the long-suffer-
ing reporter on the ground—trip-
ped up by one of those horrible
wire-and-stick ways the college
has of saying ‘‘keep off the
grass!’’ ‘Of course, by the time
she rescued herself, not a bird was
to be seen—blue sky and tiny
white clouds and soot from the
engine room meet her upturned
face—and that was all.

She returned crest fallen to
‘*Agony’’ office to write of her
woes to Aunt Emma, and after a
while, here eame the sparrows, re-
turning jubilant to that “‘flossy”’
nest of theirs.

When they went off again, so
did Young Reporter, who, by that
time had been cheered by her fe-
male relative, Emma, into good
health and vigor. On went the

bearers were Mr. Johnson, Dr.

The remains were carried to St.

Turner is survived by his parents, |

brothers, Mr. Clarence Turner and
Mr. Herman Turner.

In losing Mr, Turner we feel a

character should leave us, but we
feel that he was prepared to go

ed a higher happiness than that

“Belgium”

By Miss Cady.

Recently Miss Cady has honor-

ed us with a series of talks on the |

war. Nothing can possibly give
us more pleasure than to know
that Miss Cady is going to talk to
us. The subject of her lecture last
Friday evenmg was ‘‘Belgium.”’
Perhaps there is no phase of the
war which can arouse in us a more
peculiar interest than that of Bel-
gium. These Belgians form the one
group of people that have suffer-
ed more, endured more, and not
unheroically, at that. Miss Cady
made the statement at the begin-
ning of her talk that she intended
to deal with the entire situation
as impartially as possible.

With a brief introduction she
then proceeded to name and
analyze the probable. causes which
led up to this affair in Belgium
which does not fail to seize us
with a certain feeling of resent-
ment.
length, not failing to the exact
position that Germany occupied
in the situation. This part of the
talk, in itself interested us_ es-
pecially. Miss Cady made the re-
markable statement that Belgium
was not only justified in offering
resistance when the German
troops came through that country
but she was honor bound to do
so. She also added that Belgium’s
resistance was more heroic than
we are wont to consider it.

Then she diseussed the numer-
ous and shameful atrocities of
which the Belgians were victims.
She refrained from mentioning
some of the worst of them on the
ground that they were too in-
clined to make one’s blood boil
with resentment. Those that she
did discuss were founded on neu-
tral truth and were sufficient to
serve their purpose. The excuses
which the Germans offered to de-
fend themselves from reproof in
these cases were absolutely il-
logical.

After discussing the sufferings
which Belgium endured during
the active march of the German
troops through that country Miss
Cady spoke of the exactions which
have been demanded of those peo-

Miss Cady read
the official statistics of the things
which were included in one of
these payments.

This lecture on one of the most
interesting phases of the present
_ European struggle was given to)
us by Miss Cady in her own at-)
tractive manner. We all enjoyed
it thoroughly and hope to have

such another pleasure again soon.

were at the Faculty Play last Sat-

was splendid and everybody had
the gocd time they expected and
then some. It was one great big
laugh after another, and one
almost forgot that the characters
were real flesh and blood: faculty
in some of the scenes, Dr. Armis-
tead was the ideal bachelor, and
as “‘Dead Earnest’? he was es-
pecially good. Miss McCallie, as
Lady Fairfax, was easily a star.
Her acting, the excellent repre-
sentation of the difficult role of the
Englishwoman, was fully earried
out in a remarkably clever man-
ner. Mr. Dieckmann, one of the
other ‘‘ original stars,’’ was one of
the hits of the play, and Miss
Markley played the role opposite
him splendidly. Her acting as the
prim Miss Prism, governess to
“dear little Cecily,’? was es-

mix-ups that resulted. There was
not a serious minute in the whole
play, the lines were downright
funny; and after all, it was good

THE PROPYLEANS BEGIN.

‘“‘Here’s to the Debaters.’’ .

The fruits of the Spirit Meeting
are being reaped. The societies
each have their groups made out
and are going to work. The
Propyleans got there first with a
hot debate on Saturday night.
The subject chosen this year for
the Inter-Society Debate is a live
one and there’s plenty of material
to work from (one who knows
gives this information).

Any time last week that you
happened to stroll into the refer-
ence room of the Carnegie Library _

Atlanta you could have found “
one or more of the four girls who
debated last Saturday night (they
all say that didn’t have any time
to work on it but they hung
around that library a good deal
not to be working).

Well, to come back to Satur-
‘day night, Misses Ruby Lee Estes
jand Ruth Nisbet upheld the
affirmative side and Misses Hallie
Alexander and Julia Lake Skin-
ner the negative.

The first speaker, Ruth, gave
the history of the ease and started
|the ball rolling in a elear and con-
cise manner; her points were well
made and things began to look
black for the other side.

Then Hallie introduced the

Societvy DR. GAINES SERMON IN THE

CHAPEL, MARCH 25. ©

The Religious Meetings Depart-
ment of the Y. W. C. A. has ar-
ranged to have Dr. Gaines talk to
the college on March 25 in the
chapel. Last year Dr. Gaines
consented to deliver a sermon to
us in the chapel and the entire
college community, both enjoyed
it and derived a great deal of
benefit from Dr. Gaines’ splendid
sermon. Student Government
will let the attendance at this
service count as regular church
attendance in town or in Decatur,
and you may register ‘‘Chapel”’

instead of -your usual home
church, Dr. Gaines in his deep
earnestness and ‘ sincerity, is

always convincing and we hope
that you will all avail yourselves
of this unquestioned opportunity.

EASTER SERVICE, APRIL 8.

Every year at Agnes Scott an
Faster Service is held, very beau-
'tiful in its simplicity and dignity.
Before breakfast all the girls who
desire dress in white and march
through the buildings and on the
campus singing familiar~ Master
hymns. In the early morning of
the Easter-Day with the earnest-
ness of each girl the service can
be made very beautiful and help-
ful, and the Y. W. C. A. hopes this
year that it may really mean some-
thing to each girl. Let us all be
thinking of this service, and when
Easter morning comes to join in
making it as sincere and as beau-
tiful as possible.

THE CHRISTMAS GIFT.
By Olivia Russell.

Tt was Christmas Eve. But the
snow was not falling silently, cov-
ering the city with a white blank-
et; nor were there holly wreaths
in the windows and crowds of
cheery Christmas shoppers in the
streets. There was not even the
conventional poor little newsboy
on the corner, blowing on his blue
fingers; for the scene was below
the equator. Three men sat in
front of a straw hut and listened
to the many sounds of the tropical
forest. A gurgle from the water's
edge told them that a crocodile
had come up to the surface, and
a rustling in the branches over-
head suggested a snake concealed
there. Two of the men had an
evil smirk to their countenance,
and seemed in some sort of un-
derstanding, but the third looked
thoughtful and worried. He
seemed to be debating some
knotty problem .

“So this is Christmas Eve, I
wonder what the world is doing,”’
said Judson, the largest of the
three men.

‘*Probably wishing each other
peace on earth, and good will
toward men.,’’ replied he address-
ed, with a sneer. But the third
man said nothing, and only gazed
through the tangle of under-
growth as if vainly trying to find
there an answer to his problem.

‘““What’s the matter with you
Sledd?’’ said the tallest, by name
Andrews.

“Didn’t your last . haul suit
you?”’

But Sledd did not reply, and
after a few moments got up and
left them, to go into the slowly
gathering dusk.

“*Sledd is going to reform—the
Christmas spirit’s got him,’’ said
Judson to Andrews, with a sneer.

“You mean that girl’s got him,
and what’s more, Judson, I’ve
something to tell you. That af-
fair of the bank note is out; it’s
been traced, and you know Sledd
is the only soul except you and
me that knew,—so—.”’

As Andrews spoke, he looked
keenly at his companion. Then
he resumed,

“Yes, that girl of his is trying
to make him reform—lead a new
life—and you know how crazy he
is about orchids? Well—’’

On the following day Andrews |*

said to Sledd:

“We've got a Christmas pres-
ent for you old man.’’

““What is it?’

“Well, listen; while you were
gone yesterday an orchid collec-
tor was by here and he told me
that there was a rare blue variety
of which there are only about
three plants in the world, up a
branch of the Amazon. What are
you going to do to-day? What do
you say about going after it?”’

the plans for us and gave an en-

discussed the financial side of the
question, This was followed by a
talk by Gjertrud Amundsen. She

EX-PRESIDENT TAFT ON
LEAGUE TO ENFORCE PEACE

His Delightful Talk!

On Friday afternoon all the col-
lege girls who could get off from
the gym meet went, with the rest
of Atlanta, to hear Mr. Taft, now
president of ‘‘The League to En-
force Peace,’’ speak at the Audi-
torium, They say that everyone
who has ever seen the ex-Presi-
dent’s genial smile, will go out of
his way to see it again; certainly
it is equally true to say that who-
ever has heard Mr. Taft speak will
make a way to hear him again.
Mr. Taft spoke on the aims of the
League ‘to Enforce Peace, and on
its relation to America and the
present international crisis.

The speaker said that the time
has come for America to leave off
trusting to that same good luck
which cares for children and
drunkards to protect our country
indefinitely, as it has always done
before. Instead, it is time for us
to begin helping ourselves a_ bit.
Mr. Taft realizes that the only
way to ensue peace, is to have a
big enough army to quickly put
down any hasty uprising. The
Leagne insists on a council where
all disputes are to be settled,—
the settling of which will take
about two years, so that all hot-
headed wars, at any rate, will be
averted.

The President gave a most con-
vincing argument for universal
military service. especially
America. He told the far-fame?

The stars shone their brightest,
Kmma Jones proving especially
fetching in the escape-from-the-
tower scene. Sir Lancelot Scrap-
iron is by far the best looking
of

actor the day, and anyone
would go again to see ‘‘The
Foundling WUeiress’’ simply to

feast her eyes on the charms of
\the hero’s moustache. One of the
most striking features about this
play was the fact that Theda

Acxtoni—Miss —Marian__Mc-. Bara’stight—has-been—completely

eclipsed by that of the new yam-
pire star: Julia Walker. The
other. members of the cast all
\carrying off whole trees of laurels
iwere: The Black Brigand: Caro-
\lyn Larendon; The Duchess of
‘Scrapiron: Lorene Pruette ; Hilde-
|gard, the Nurse: Ella Capers Wes-
lton ; and the Brigand’s Servant:
Elva Brehm.

The plot was cute and the actors
were really splendid, the whole
‘thing’? taking well with the au-
dience, but there was such a long
time between each act that it was
rather hard for one to remember
the story, when the intermission
took about five minutes and each
act only lasted about two.

“The Age of the Enlightened
Despot.’’ however, was quite the
‘feature of the evening. We
‘learned that Miss Markley was

} . .
the Enlightened Despot in ques-

tion—the point of the play being
an attempt on the part of certain
girls to find out her age.

The whole thing was awfully
funny, and very well done. Julia
Abbott, playing Miss Markle ry,
was simply uncanny in her
ickry, and every Blackfriar shook
in her boots at the sight of Fan
Oliver, walking down Main Tall
and hurling furious invectives
against the girls who are late to
play practice.

The laughter of the audience
showed how all the other members
of the cast were appreciated, Ev-
eryone was convulsed from begin-
ning to end. especially the faculty.
The audience, however, had more
or less the same sensations that
one experiences at a cireus: every-
one was divided between the in-
terest in seeing Miss Markley on
the stage, and Miss Markley in
real life in the audience—the re-
sult being that Dr. Sweet, on Sun-
day morning. had to treat several
eases of erick in the neck.

The Juniors took in thirty-one
dollars, much to their joy—also to
the joy of the Senior class. We
‘wonder why?

In the first place. th

If,
the price of all the paper is aeath:
ished by a half just see what a dif-
ference that would make in the
long run. “Then, in the second
place, we should have some regard
for those who have to collect this
paper, Various experiences have
been related by the unfortunate
ones who have the task of getting
all this paper tegether. One girl

|0

said that she reached her arm
down into a can to get out the

paper and when she took it out
her arm was literally covered with
ants—yes, ants, and that doesn’t
sound very pleasant, does it? On
further investigation she found
out that some sardine cans con-
taining infinitesimal pieces of sar-
dines (enough to attract the ants,
however). had been carelessly
thrown into the paper can. Some-
one else said that she had to take
a hot bath every time she collected
this paper. In fact, all of them
have told various and sundry tales
about their experiences in gather-
ing up the alumnae paper, most
of which were very unpleasant to
hear. Out of common considera-
tion for others, if for no other
reason, shouldn’t we try to be
more careful?

We all volunteered to co-operate
with the alumnae in saving this
paper and in keeping it in as good
a condition as possible. Now, is
it quite fair to disregard what we
have promised to do? Of course,
it is just carelessness on our part, |
but we can’t afford to be careless |
about our promises. If every one
of us would resolve to co-operate
in this cause. and would then carry
out our resolutions, just think
what a difference there would be.
We would thereby increase the
value of the paper and at the same

time would decrease the task of
those who collect the paper.
Aren‘t you willing to be more

careful and to co-operate in this|
cause?

subject Miss Cady offered us was
‘*War In the Air and on the Sea.”’

One of the most unique and in-

is the use of air and sea craft.
This is, of course, the first war in

Do you know I’ve come to the}

conclusion that this world is a gay
place! There have been so many
things lately to bring joy to the
heart of even a hardened pessi-
mist. There was the gym meet
last Friday. Ilonestly, now,
hadnt you rather watch the gym-
nastie feats of a sister class than
go to a eireus? Several of us
bought some gum and went early

to get good floor space. We sui
down and began to fan, for it was

awfully hot. The gym lady ealled

a class and said, ** Now, be esthetic

ments,’’ or something to that ef-
fect, L’ve forgotten her technical
terms. I wish every one of you
could have seen one of the hefty
specimens whom I was watching.
She fixed her right eye on the ceil-
ing and her left one assumed a
sickly expression—she seemed to
be enjoying her act for she was

smiling broadly. One arm. shot
forward and one backward and
she began to hop.

Last Thursday afternoon Mrs.}

and who is visiting her mother in
Atlanta, was tendered a delight-
ful tea by several members of the
faculty. The guests assembled in
the faculty coffee room where de-
lightful sandwiches, tea, mints and

was a very pleasant one for the
new members of the faculty who
had never met Mrs. Coleman, as
well as for those who knew ‘‘ Miss

here.

SERMON OF DR. GAINES.
A Wonderful Lesson.

Sunday morning, March the
twenty-fifth, we had one of our
sweetest church services of
year. It was a college service,
held in the chapel, with our Glee
Club for a choir, and with a ser-
mon by Dr. Gaines. We sang the
old church hymns that we all
love; and we enjoyed the quiet,
inspiring service. Dr. Gaines read
the fifty-third chapter of Isaiah
for a lesson, which tells of the suf-
fering Messiah; he took his text
from John 19:30, which reads:
‘“When Jesus therefore had re-
ceived the vinegar, Ile said. ‘It is
finished,’

the |

and He bowed Tis head

and gave up the ghost.’’ This
death of Jesus Christ for us rep-
resents the atonement for all our
sins. To fully appreciate this|
meaning of atonement we
first realize who Jesus was. Jesus
was God Himself; He was equal
| with the Father in power and|
| glory.
as we are.
resenting a lost and ruined people,
|was Himself without sin. In the
second plac e, to appreciate fully
the meaning of the atonement, we
must realize the place lis death
holds in the plan of salvation.

Again, we must realize the place
His death has in its application to
salvation. There has never been
a soul saved except by the atoning
‘merits of Jesus. Just inside the
tent was the altar of incense which |
represented prayer, but it must/|
be approached by the altar of the
blood of atonement. Our prayer,
then, should be by the atoning
blood of Jesus Christ. The appli-
cation of the atonement to the
‘final consummation is given in the
Book of Revelations. ‘‘Lamb’’ is
the keynote of this whole book.
| Revelations tells us in one beauti-
ful passage: ‘‘These are they
which came out of great tribula-
|tion, and have washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood
of the Lamb. Therefore are they

before the throne of God, and

STEREOPTICON LECTURE.

Monday morning a most inter-
esting and instructive lecture was
Alfred Chandler, of
The lecture was
made doubly interesting by the
fact that it was accompanied by
stereopticon views. Mr, Chandler
is speaking in all the great uni-
versities of the South, and in a

few of the colleges for women.
We were indeed fortunate,
through Dr. MeCain’s efforts, in
being able to secure him. Mr.
Chandler took as his subject,
‘““Taxation and Social Better-
ment.’’

Land values are made by the
presence of people upon the land
—not by people who happen to
hold the land. Congestion of
houses anywhere is due to owner-

|ship by the few at the expense of

the many. Land should be treated
as a community asset—then we
would have more schools, hospi-
tals and libraries.

At present almost everything in
sight is taxed. The revenue should
be diverted into the public treas-
ury. This could be done by means
of the single tax. The single tax
system has been tried out in Aus-

tralia, New Zealand, parts of
Canada and South Africa. There
are a few cities in the United

States that are making rapid prog-
ress in the direction of the single
tax.

Mr. Chandler then gave a his-
toric sketch of our taxing system.
Our present system of taxation
was brought to us from England.
All the land along the coast was
parecelled out by the king and held
by the absentee landlords. The
laws of taxation made then were
all right for a time, when land
was free for the asking, but they)
are not suitable now,

when nearly |

all the land is appropriated. What |
we need are tax laws made by the}

be righted.

The basic principle of the single
tax is not to penalize the man for
improving his land. The present
system of. taxation discourages
improvements. This is especially
seen in the crowded tenement sec-
tion. Children grow up under ad-!
verse conditions. Land speeula-

THE AGONISTIC

SENIORS WIN GYM MEET.

Without a doubt the gym meet
was one of the most exciting ath-
letic performances of the year.
The Freshmen were determined to
do well, so as to begin with a fine
record, and Seniors had planned
to end this gym career with an
extra fine showing. The Sopho-
mores and Juniors did well. but
the fight lay practically between
the Seniors and the Freshmen.
There is no need to say that the
Seniors were confident, the Jun-
iors small in number, the Sopho-
mores trembling for the danees,
and the Freshmen shaking at the
idea of appearing as a class for
the first time. How every one
wished they hadn’t tried to get

out of gym, and miss the much-
needed practice! There were
sundry resolutions made about

going more often next year, but
we are wondering how many will
be kept. We sincerely hope they
all will.

The classes made a good show-
ing, lined up for the floor drill,
the Seniors with their yellow ties,
opposite the Juniors with their
red ones,
Freshmen and Sophomores in
black ties. It seems that the presi-
dents of the various classes are
rather critically inclined, judging
by the care and precision with
which the neckties and shoe laces
were tied.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GA., FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 1917.

VOL. II.

On To Washington
Miss Cady Departs.

But she's
the

Miss Cady is gone!
coming back again after

~ week's absente in Washington.

‘ know Agnes Scott is famed for

' For Miss Cady is not only Profes-
sop of History at Agnes Scott Col-
lege—that’s merely one of the hun-
dreds of her varied activities.
She’s known to have done every-
thing from sawing off tree limbs in
the garden, to helping entertain
the gentlemen members of the De-
eatur Episcopal church. Among
other things. Miss Cady is Presi-
dent of the Atlanta S. A. C. W.
That’s why Mary Neff is getting
out of eight hour’s work this
week, while our history teacher is
gone off to Washington to attend
a convention of the Southern <As-
sociation of College Women held
there.

The Agonistic wishes to make
it plain that there is no ulterior
end in Miss Cady’s absence, than
just the one given. Above all,
she’s coming back, and she’ll be
back next year, too. Such wild
rumors have gotten out lately
from the story of her shooting the
beloved Bettina for a burglar, to
the report that she was going to
leave us in favor of the little
mountaineers, that when it be-
eame known that Miss Cady was
going to leave really, several of
the first aid girls thought that
their recently acquired arts in re-
viewing the fainting might be
practiced on the throng of heart-
failing Cadyites.

We miss our History Professor

with the smile that she always}

finds even for the thickest skull
among us; we miss the inspiration
that she manages to tuck away
within the intricacies of eigh-
teenth century polities, but, just
the same, those cuts sound ex-
eeedingly tempting to most of us,
and we only hope Miss Cady will

enjoy the week as much as we)

enjoy all that lovely extra time.

Last year a lovely old woman wit-
nessing the exercises exclaimed,
‘Oh, that’s the most beautiful
thing I ever saw.’’ Well, this time
we’re going to surpass ourselves,
from all the reports I’ve heard.

On Friday evening the May
Queen was elected. The nominees)
were Misses Margaret Morrison;
Miriam Morris, and Tyler Wilby. |
Tyler Wilby received the most
votes though the other two ran
her a close race. We are all glad
to have such an attractive May
Queen and are sure she will grace
the oecasion very much, Tyler is
a new girl this year and one of
the most popular in her class. Her
regal bearing will add much to)
the occasion as she oceupies the
May Queen throne.

A new plan has been devised
for this year and there will be no
maids of honor but goddesses,
priestesses, ete., will take their
places. The whole plan is not yet
known, but so far as is known
this promises to be quite the suc-|
cess of the season.

Japan and Her Culture

Interesting Lecture By Dr. Griffis,
the Educator.

A very interesting and note-
worthy event of the past week
was the address given in the
chapel by Dr. Griffis. This was
indeed a rare privilege for our
college community since Dr. Grif-
fis is very well known abroad as
well as in America, in educational
circles. The subject of his ad-

a i

dress was the “‘Culture of Japan
and China.’’ Since he has spent
about forty years of his life in
these countries ,jhe was well quali-
fied to speak about them. We are
wont to think of these countries as
lacking in culture and almost un-
civilized. But Dr. Griffis made an
interesting comparison between
American civilization, on the one
hand, and Japanese and Chinese
civilization, on the other hand.
He brought this out very skilfully
by showing the differences in the
respective ideas of art. He said
that a rich American would have
his house so stocked and crammed
with different forms of art that it
would be difficult to step around
comfortably in the drawing room,
while the Japanese would bring
out each piece of art separately
and allow you to enjoy fully all
the beauties of one before looking
at another. He showed that the
Japanese people carry out this
idea in everything. Ile said that
they deal with wood as we Ameri-
cans deal with marble.—that they
do not varnish it but they polish
the unadorned wood until they
have what is called satin wood.
The Japanese people, he said,
would trim off a chrysanthemum
plant so that only one stalk was
left in order that they might have
one beautiful, perfect flower.
Their culture is not always ap-
parent, but it is there beneath the
surface, as it were.

Dr. Griffis did not confine his
talk to the Japanese idea of art,
but spoke of their government.
the endurance of the Chinese re-
publie and their systems of educa-
tion, He told of how the first
woman’s college was established
over there.

Dr. Griffis concluded his address

with a few remarks on the pres-|
ent war which is now so imminent |
and of such great moment. Ile}
said that he did not think that we
hated the Germans or that the
Germans hated us. Then he en-
deavored to explain Germany’s
attitude towards us and why she)

struggle. |

One of the most striking re-
marks that Dr. Griffis made was
when he said that the best time|
to enjoy life was after sixty. We
enjoyed his address very much
and wish to thank him heartily}
for such a treat.

Junior High School

By Dr. C. H. Judd.

Dr. Charles Il. Judd,. direetor |
of the School of Education of!
Chicago University, and one of|
the foremost educators of to-day,
gave a very interesting and in-
structive lecture under the au-
spices of the Atlanta Teachers’
Association, Saturday morning,
on the ‘‘Junior High School,” a
plan for re-arranging our present
school system to better fill the
needs of the majority of school)
children.

He showed very elearly that
our present school system origi-|
nated in Prussia, where confirma-|
tion, at the age of fourteen, ended |
the grammar school. Our com-
mon school system is patterned
after the German Volkschule, in-|
tended for children of the common |
classes who ee not allowed to
spend any more time in school.
Those intending to enter universi-
ties are sent to special prepara-|
tory schools. Since we have one
school system for all children in
the United States and since our
school system is not influenced by
religion, it should he so planned
as to meet as nearly as possible
the needs of the mass of the stu-
dents.

In 1830 our public school sys-
tem was similar to our rural
school system of to-day, but dur-
ing the deeade of 1830-40. under
the influence of ‘such men as
Horace Mann, Henry Barnard and
Page of Michigan, our present
common school system was organ-
ized. The first high school origi-
nated in Boston as a preparatory
school for Harvard University and
was called the Latin School, This
ambition for higher training gave
rise to academies and private high

|schools all over the country.

According to our present plan
a great majority of our grammar
school students never enter the
high school for various reasons
and never have the opportunity
of coming in contact with some
of the most important subjects.
such as science, higher mathemat-
ics and modern languages. There
must be some reorganization of
our present plan for it has not
proved efficient and the Junior
High School as presented by Dr
Judd promises to better meet the
needs of the present generation.
By this plan the sixth and seventh
grades of the grammar school are

the high school—forming the
Junior High School followed by a
three year Senior High School.

subjects such as arithmetic and
others and make them cover a
period of eight years when this
could be expended more

fundamental subjeets as
geometry. the sciences
and others of practical value. In
ihe words of Dr. D. E. Smith, of
this plan will give
every pupil a glimpse over the
fenee into the field heyond and
furnish an inspiration for further
pursuit of ‘‘hetter things.”’

Long May “Old Glory”’ Wave!!

Synonyms:
ad ——
Villains-Baritones.

Why nobody knows, but it hap-
pens to be a fact that baritone and
villain are practically synonyms
in the lexicon of Grand Opera.
That there can not be much justi-
fication for such a law in real life
is pretty well established by the
fact that all the baritones with
which Atlanta society has had any

experience have, without excep-|

tion, been acclaimed off-stage as
the jolly best fellows in the world.
But be that as it may, when the
curtain rises on the Metropolitan
season in Atlanta, Messrs. Seotti,
Amato, and DeLuca will be off in
a rush once more for the annual
rascality sweepstakes.

It is true there will be a false
start. The first opera on the pro-
gram, ‘‘L’Elisir D’Amore,”’ is
ninety-nine and three-fourths per
cent. pure of villains, and since
Donizetti couldn’t make his bari-
tone a monster, he threw the whole
tradition by the board and made
him altogether lovable. As Bel-
core, Antonio Scotti will have an-
other one of those human, humor-
ous roles, like that of the painter
in ‘‘La Boheme,’’ for which An-

tonio Seotti is so thoroughly
adored. And the second start will!
he alittle weak,.. beeause even

though the Conte diluna in ‘‘T
Trovatore.’’ is meant to be a vil-
\lain, it will probably no longer be
considered infamous for Mr.
Amato to fall in love with. the
heroine, and, on that account put
up a corking good fight against
the hero. Inasmuch as the hero-
ine this time will be the beautiful
Muzio, it isn’t likely that anybody
will blame him very much. But
the race will be on in earnest,
when the genial Pasquale puts a
hump on his back on Wednesday
night as Giovannis through three
terrible acts of ‘‘Francesca da
Rimini.”’ <As the cruel, crippled
brother Amato is superb and, at
the same time. terrible. The
eritics of New York, without ex-
ception, have proclaimed him the
grand star of the performance.
Nevertheless, his laurels in the
race of wickedness, will by no
means be safe. Though Scotti
gets off to such a bad start in
“T,’Blisir D’Amore,”’ he will have
to his eredit. before the season is
over, another example of his im-
mortal interpretation of Baron
Searpia, and the Toscan villain is
about the villainest villain in g. o.
But as for De Luea, he really
won't be in the running at all.
To tell the truth he only got into
this because when you write the
annual press agent yarn about
baritones and villains in Grand
Opera, you can’t leave out the
name of any big Italian baritone
or he might get excited, and Italy
is now an ally of the United
States. The poor hunch-back fool
in ‘‘Rigoletto’’ is only a kind of

feels for poor Riggie is sorrow.
Ilo, for the exception that proves
the rule! In ‘‘Rigoletto,’’ your

villain is the tenor!

My Country Tis of |
Thee!

Hurrah For United States!

In this time, when we need pa-
triotism so niuch; when we feel
it must be made the great living
factor in each of us, the college
as a whole heartily thanks Dr,
Sweet and Miss Emily Miller for
|giving us a perfectly huge flag
and flag staff for Main Building.

We are sorry that so many
things are reported ‘‘one of the
most impressive occasions in the
college year,’’ because the service
of flag-raising really was so, and
we are sure that the memory of
that morning, with Old Glory
waving triumphantly far out
‘above the group of cheering stu-
dents below, is bound to be among
the vivid impressions of every col-
lege girl as she looks back upon
“the semester when war began.’’

The ceremony was. a simple one,
but somehow it rang very true,
and one felt undoubtedly that
everybody who took part in it
meant the whole thing from the
bottom of her heart.

After a short chapel, taken up
mostly by Dr. Gaines’ prayer for
our country, the students marched
out in front of Main and saw the
long flag stall standing oud per-
pendicularly from Main tower.
Of course Miss Cady had to be
jealled on, on such an oceasion as
this. We feel that it would be an
injustice to try to give the gist
‘of her inimitable talk to the girls
on this momentous oceasion, All
we can do is to pronounce it, if
anything, more ‘‘Cadyesque’’—
hence more inspiring—than usual,
and to say that the applause, at
any rate, attested our apprecia-
tion. Preluded by Miss Cady’s
talk, and in the midst, first of
silence, then of enthusiastic cheer-
ing, the flag was raised. After
that, from high upon the tower,
the Glee Club sang ‘‘Star Span-
gled Banner,’’ then the whole col-
lege joined in singing ‘‘My Coun-
try ‘Tis of Thee.”’

So now, as a perpetual re-
minder of our duty and privilege
and high ealling, Old Glory hangs
out above our campus.

“TO ARMS,’”’ AND HELP
YOUR COUNTRY!

This call for volunteers which
our President has just issued is
not merely for those males, sound
in body, between the ages of fif-
teen and twenty-five. It is for
every man, woman and child who
ean serve his country in even the
little every-day, ordinary ways.
Pray what ean we of Agnes Scott
do for our country? True patri-
otism is manifested in our desire
to help to co-operate wherever
and whenever the appeal is made.
Red Cross classes, sock-knitting,
irelief work, and, most of all, NO
|GRUMBLING.
| If your father, perhaps your
brother, or your sweetheart, goes
to war, it’s your strength and your
*‘orit’’ that will help those at the
front.

Women of Agnes Scott, your
native land, your homes and your
college demand a courageous re-
sponse to the little tasks which
are indispensable for great
achievements!

Y. W. C. A. INSTALLATION
SERVICE.

On Easter Sunday, April 8th,
the yearly service of the installa-|
tion of the new Cabinet members
was held in the chapel. The serv-
ice was both beautiful and impres-
sive in its simplicity and earnest-|
ness and much credit is due to
Miss Vallie Young White for the |
arrangement and planning of the
whole.

The old and new Cabinet mem-
bers all dressed in white marched
in behind the Glee Club, which
was also dressed in white, and the
members of the new Cabinet took |
their places on the left of the}
chapel and the members of the
old Cabinet on the right. The

‘stage was beautifully decorated)

with white Easter lilies. Miss)
Regina Pinkston, the outgoing
president of Y. W. C. A., made a|
short but impressive talk on what
being on Cabinet means to the
individual and to the college and
of the great privilege and respon-
sibility the office brings. After a
prayer by Miss India Hunt, chair-
man of the social service depart-
ment, Miss Pinkston presented
Miss Ruth Anderson, the new
president, with a white flower—
the symbol of her new office and
trust. Then in order each of the
different members of the new
Cabinet came forward and re-
ceived a flower from the outgoing
member of her new department.
Each old Cabinet member in giv-
ing over her trust spoke of what
her particular department had
meant. The new Cabinet was
then addressed by Dr. Gaines, who
said that being on Cabinet meant
but privilege and responsibility.
He spoke of the function of the
Cabinet in uniting all the Chris-
tian forces in the college in set-
ting Christian ideals up as stan-
dards in the college, in the forma-
tion of Christian character and in
the making of a permeating
Christian atmosphere.

The service was one of the most
beautiful of the year and all who
were present will remember it for)
its directness, earnestness and|
beautiful simplicity.

The new Cabinet members are
as follows:

Ruth Anderson, president.

Julia Lake Skinner, vice-presi-
dent.

Katherine Seay. secretary.

Virginia Lancaster, treasurer.

Claire Bliott. chairman of social
service department.

Dorothy Thigpen, chairman of|
volunteer study department.

Goldie Ham, chairman of social |
department.

Mary Brock Mallard, chairman
religious meetings department.

A Responsibility.

The committees of the different
departments of the Y. W. C. A.
have been chosen for the coming

the new year’s work: of just what
being on one of these committees
means. Because it is a very great
privilege, this opportunity of
service, it means great responsi-|
bility. The committee members
are the direeters, of the business
of an Association, and until they
recognize their obligation not

Miss Wilby has written to her
mother to “‘Wake and call me

Dances for the festival have be-
eun practice in the gym and al-

and to live the word of their com-
mittees the Association of Agnes
Scott is not going to be very
strong. The Cabinet in choosing
girls for committees has carefully
chosen the most capable, consci-
entious and efficient girls in col-|
lege. But even more than that|
the Cabinet has tried to choose)
girls whom they thought would
deyelop much under the responsi
bility and whom they thought
would give their thought and un
tiring efforts to the promotion of
the work of the Master. In the)
name of the Cabinet, then, the
Agonistic asks each committee
member to realize her privilege |
and her corresponding responsi-|
bility. Your committee work on)
Y, W. C. A. can mean more to|
your committee members than)
anything else if you will only see}
it in the spirit of service to Christ. |

PROGRESS TOWARD ENDOW-

Last Monday night after pray-|
ers, Mrs. Dieckmann, the presi-|
dent of the Alumni, told us about,
the progress already made to- '

sulted in $9. The Alumni party rae eter
gave $15. So you see we are com-
ing on! After all, $100,000 doesn't
seem so big for four years, when
just two weeks nets $30. Does it?
Then the amount of pledges of
the faeulty and classes were
given. Mrs. Dieckmann an-
nounced that the faculty has
pledged to contribute $10,000!
The presidents of the classes then
gave the amount pledged by their
respective classes, which are as}
follows: Seniors, Juniors, and
Sophomores, $2,500; Freshmen,
$2,000. Isn’t that enough to en-
courage the most doubtful? And,
what’s more, we are going to do
it, too!

Then Mrs. Dieckmann told us
about the eute little endowment
banks we’re to have before we go
home. They are to be purple and
white, and big enough to hold
only a dime, nothing larger. We
ean carry them around with us
during the summer, and who
knows what wonders we can’t ac-
complish? Oh, there are just lots
of ways to make the pennies,
nickels, and dimes fly if we only
begin to think about it. Endow-
ment parties, plays, up at camp
this summer, at summer resorts
and at home. Among Agnes Scott
girls, any way. endowment things
bid fair to take the place of|
Hawaiian things, and so instead
of ‘‘Hicky Hula, Yaecky Dula,”’
we'll be having endowment fund

ALL SMILES!

The Hello Club, for the purpose
of first propagating cheer among
its own members, met in the tea-
room on Friday. Various ways
of promoting smiles on gloomy
countenances were discussed, and
several efficient plans were
brought up. The aim of this as-
sociation is 100,000 smiles every
day. Now that spring is already
here it ought not to be so hard to
smile; and every smile that you

THE AGONISTIC

EXHIBITION.
Agnes Scott is to be represented |
at an exhibition of physical educa-
tion to be given in the Auditorium
in the early part of May. All
educational institutes in and near
Atlanta are going to be present.
Mrs. Parry has decided that the
Agnes Seott girls will do several
dances. The Reinlander, which
everyone knows very well, and
one or two of the May Day dances.
These will be done in the Greek
costumes, and the Reinlander in
white middie suits. Mrs. Parry
will choose the girls who are to
dance, and she is hoping to have
about seventy-five, enough to
make two large circles. The danc-
ing will be on the arena of the
Auditorium, where there will be
ample room for the dances.
There will be no drill in floor
work in the exhibition.

OPERA TICKETS FOR SALE!

Dorothy Thigpen has two opera
tickets which can be had on ap-
plication to her. The tickets are

ner,’’ as our huge flag was raised
above them.

The whole program went off
beautifully and | almost every
number was enthusiastically en-
cored. The final number was our
Alma Mater song accompanied
by the Mandolin Club.

There was a large and appre-
ciative audience, and as usual the
Agnes Scott students turned out

present, especially when so many
of them hold Lyceum tickets.
The musie department and the
Glee Club labor under the dis-

we have and appreciate a few
staunch friends among them,

The dramatie club and athletics)
are enthusiastically supported as
they certainly should be, and we
are only too glad to hear that
some of the faculty have reserved
box seats to witness our gymnas-
tie meet. Yet when Agnes Scott

program in Atlanta or there is op-|
portunity for advertising to be
done, it is the Glee Club that fre-

least a half a dozen times this|

year, the whole Glee Club or se-|
lected groups of it, have been
asked by the faeulty or some

member of the faculty to repre-
sent Agnes Scott upon various
programs, and we have very
gladly done so, not without sacri-
fice of time and effort.

And still the Glee Club meets
with no commendation, only e¢riti-
cism or indifference from the ma-
jority of the faeulty, for work
which receives the—heartiest. ap-
proyal and most complimentary
notice from outsiders. In most
colleges the Glee Club is consid-
ered one of the best and most
pleasing advertisements that can)

such, the sacrifice and unselfish
work of the girls in it are appre-
ciated coneretely by support and
commendation.

The Glee Club ’should be just
as much a whole-school affair as
any other student activity and
demands the hearty and genuine
interest and support of every sin-
gle member of the faculty and
student-body. Is it fair to ex-
pect so much and give so little
in return? We ask you to think
it over.

1. All students are expected
to support college activities by
paving the amount of the budget
in two installments, one-half on

September 27, 1917, and the bal-
anee on January 11, 1918, to the

student treasurer.

2. The dues for Y. W. C.
are optional.

8. In the case of two sisters
they may pay $15.00 for the year

instead of $20.00. provided they
wish to receive only one of each of
the publications.

4. In view of the fact that the
following rule has been passed by
the student-body—‘‘ All students
failing to pay the semi-annual tax
in full shall be exeluded from the
activities specified in the budget
and from the privilege of use of
student telephone and of voting
in student elections’’—all stu-
dents who have not paid their
part of the budget in full by Oc¢-
tober 17, 1917, and January 29,
1918, will forfeit their rights of
participation in student activities
provided for in the budget until
they do pay.

These are the new rules and
new divisions of the budget. It
now includes the student tele-
phone, which has caused so much
disturbance this year. No one
will eare to fail in paying this
important part of their college ob-
ligation and the committee that
has so conveniently arranged it
is to be heartily thanked for their
eare.

This list ineludes all the gener-

al activities of the college com-|
munity.

ceived little. white eards
flags painted on them and the in-
seription :

“‘Trregulars Issue Proclamation

community against. the unjustifi-
able ravages of the despot, Bore-

building.

Open Saturday, April 14th,|
8 730, fy

The response of the citizens of
Agnes Scott was almost universal,
for promptly at 8:30 on Saturday
night, they flocked in bands to
the gym. The ‘‘reeruiting sta-
tion’’ was decorated in truly pa-
triotic style. At one end was
hung a huge flag and all around
the side walls, smaller ones were
crossed. The new army of re-
eruits formed in line for a grand
march headed by Margaret Morri-

son. Round the gym it circled
and twisted and as each girl

passed the end under the big flag,
she was given a little red, white|
and blue button—the cunningest |
favors you have ever seen!
When the real dancing began
the new army showed that they
were not raw recruits for they
surely could dance. The orches-
tra was composed of a_ drum,
beaten energetically by Sis May,
and a piano, played by Finney in
a manner—well, we don’t have to
tell you how Finney plays. Suf-

fice it to say that one girl was
heard to remark, ‘‘l believe any-
bedy could dance to Finney’s

music.”

When the dancing had gone on
for some time, several of the hos-
tesses appeared from behind a
mysterious-lookine s¢reen in a
corner bearing cones filled with
chocolate and Tutti Frutti ice
eream. The sereened corner be-
came popular at once, and soon
every dancer in the crowd had an
ice cream cone clasped in one
hand.

Davidson Cc Conquers!

Battle on Neutral Territory.

The big debate held here be-

tween Emory and Davidsor was

rare treat, and Agnes Scott is glad
to have been the scene of the com-
bat. The chapel was filled with
sympathizers, the ‘‘mourners
benches” being occupied by mem-
bers from the two institutions.
Dr. Armistead presided over the
debate, assuring the visitors that
we were entirely an armed neu-
trality. The Glee Club quartette

|sang a peaceful love sone to recon-
|cile the two opposing forces, as a

proof that we were indeed neutral.

Emory had the affirmative side
of the question, which was ‘‘Re-
solved. that eiployers and em-
ployees of public service corpora-
tions should be compelled to set-
tle their disputes by arbitration.’
Mr. F. M. Gaines was the first
speaker for Hmory. Mr. Gaines
cleared the ground for the debate,
and slowed that the affirmative
considered that the subject divid-
ed itself for the first part into
i That. the publie is
the great third party in all
strikes, and is the one most vital-
ly dependent on public corpora-
tions. He followed this up with
statements as to the pitiable con-
ditions —the “woul be
thrown in, in the event of unarbi-
trated disputes, strikes. He said
that, second, conditions in indus-
trial warfare demand this change;

eoultry

jand third, that voluntary arbitra-

tion has been a failure.

Mr. G, C. Bellingrath, of Dav-
idson, was the next speaker, on
the negative side. He stated that
the question was not whether we

shall have industrial peace or not,

but whether compulsory arbitra-
tion is necessary. The negative
contended that first, compulsory
arbitration was unsound in prin-
ciple; second. that compulsory ar-
bitration is unjust; third, that
compulsory arbitration produces
results even worse than the pres-
ent system; fourth, that it does
not represent the voice of the peo-
ple. He showed that the twofold
aim of labor boards is to keep
strikes down, and to settle them
when they arise. He contended
that such boards of compulsory
arbitration would be biased, in-
capable, and ineffectual.

Mr. H. S. Garland was the see-
ond speaker for the affirmative.
| Ile continued the issues of the af-
firmative by these: First; com-
pulsory arbitration offers the de-
sired remedy for present econdi-
tions; second, that this poliey is
not only just, but it is practicable,
if is necessary and it is expedient,
because it represented the voice
of the people; it is not political
as is legislation.

Mr. W. Il. Neal, of Davidson,
was the last speaker for the nega-
tive. He showed the evil results

s|}of a hypothetical state of compul-

sory arbitration. According to
Mr. Neal, they would have been
indeed deplorable in inefficieney ;
second, he showed that such a
system would never be successful
in the U.S. as it had never proved
successful where

tried, since
courts of arbitration could not
be established, and sinee the

awards could never be enforced.

His acrobatic stunts with both his

remarks and his arms were keen-

FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1917.
PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS!

DANGEROUS TRIP!

The Sociology VI class has been
sent to the Federal penitentiary !
When they arrived there. at ex-
aetly 4 p. m. on last Friday, they
Were eather dismayed at the com-
timand they received, ‘‘ Put all your
belongings in this room. You
can take nothing in but a very
smal] note-book-and your purse.’’
With some misgivings and a few
shuddering thrills they laid aside
their belongings and entered the
eriminal precincts. *azy27
hegged, ‘‘Oh, please don’t keep
my knitting.”’

After the crowd went through
each gate it was locked securely
and they felt as if they were in
for life. The office was spotlessly
clean, as were all the halls and
rooms.

The men who let them _in were
criminals who are trusted. All
the work done on the grounds is
done by the inmates. A new
building is being erected with no
help save the inmates. They
teach school, Sunday School, have
band practice and other activities.
A laundry is run by the Chinese
inmates (very appropriately). A
tailor shop is fitted out where all
the clothes are made.

Various trades are taught the
inmates so that they may make an
honest living When they are dis-
charged.

The dining-room, etc., was very
interesting. They only eat twice
a day, at 7a.m,and5 p.m. Soup
is made in a tub ‘‘as big as a
room.’’ They make their own
bread and allowed the visitors to
sample it. Some felt a hesitancy
in eating it, but others say it was
very good.

When a prisoner misbehaves he
is put in solitary confinement for
some time and allowed to eat
nothing but bread and water.
(Others even have apple pie, for
they saw some). They sleep on a
cotton mattress and a pillow with
no pillow-slip. They have only
two blankets and no sheets. By
the side of this solitary confine-
ment, the rest seem to be living in
the lap of luxury and comfort. All
are locked in their cells at 5 p. m.
to stay safely there till morning.

They are sentenced at all ages
and for all kinds of lengths of im-
prisonment, The youngest out
there is 17 years of age and the
oldest is 96. The length of sen-
tence is from avery short period
to a life sentence, and one man
was sentenced for longer than life
—he was sentenced for 80 years
and he most probably will die be-
fore he is discharged.

The remainder of the details
may be obtained from the report
of Soe. VI.

A great sigh of relief was heard
as the last door closed behind

side; for, in spite of the advanced

those cold regions. He discussed
at length the peculiarities of both
the human and animal life of the
Aretice regions.

Dr. Ruskin told us several in-
teresting things about the Hski-
mos that inhabit the far North.
He said that these people are a
better race than we are wont to
think them. For instance there is
/no such thing as begging up there

the group support him, or they

made the interesting remark that
the Eskimo can consume several
pounds of meat at each meal and
he eats four times a day. He has
to do this in order to keep his
blood warm hecause it
tremely cold up there.

In order to illustrate the erude-
ness of these people, Dr. Ruskin
‘related a peculiar incident about
an Eskimo smashing to pieces a
musical instrument invented by
|Mr. Edison, in order that he
jmight find out where the, noise
came from. This only shows how
|impossible it is for the Eskimo to

or five men that were marooned
on some island of the far North
where they had been for some
months. They had used up their

their dogs for food when Df. Ris-
kin and his party chanced to res-
cue them.

Dr. Ruskin coneluded his inter-
esting talk with a detailed de-
seription of the long Arctic night
which lasts for five months. Four
months of the time there is utter
darkness, and one month there is
twilight. Dr. Ruskin told us many
interesting things and his talk
was very much enjoyed by those
who had the privilege of hearing
him.

sounded strangely unlike pure

OF

“THE HUNDRED-POINT MAN
AND HIS SISTER.”’

A most instructive and deélight-
ful lecture was given during the
past week in the.chemistry lecture
room, Dr. Gaines made a short in-
troduction to the speaker, Mr. W.
W. Orr, president of the George
Muse Clothing Co., of Atlanta.
Dr. Gaines made mention of the
increasing importance of woman
in the business world.

Mr, Orr expressed his keen in-
| terest in Agnes Scott. He has
participated in a campaign for
raising funds for Agnes Scott

was to him no doetrine in edu-

cation. His subject was most
interesting and quite unus-

ual—‘*The Hundred-Point Man.”’
The man who needs no supervi-
sion has already succeeded. ‘*Hun-

erywhere. but they are always
safe to deal with.
to every trust. Their word is as
good as their bond.’’ Mr. Orr then
gave some other interesting
characteristics of the ‘‘Hundred-
point’? man. The saving of
money is the starting point of)
every successful man. Money, as)
an end is not desirable, but as a
means to an end, it is necessary.
It is necessary to ‘‘keep books
with yourself.’’ The hundred-

They are true |

point man does not spend money |

until he has earned it. He is not
extravagant in his use of time. |
Persons able to organize his or
her time have achieved et
rare and valuable. The prayer of
the hundred-point man is ‘‘Give
me to know that sixty ma
make an hour.”’

So much of our time is put into
things that are not profitable—the
hundred-point man regards obsta- |
cles as opportunities. He oeca-
sionally writes his thoughts. This
induces care. A man is more
careful of what he signs, than
what he says. He tries to value
friends. He profits by his own
mistakes and what is more im-
portant by the mistakes of oth-
ers.

Life is a matter of habit. He is
careful to make good habits.
Every person should have a defin-
ite aim in life—and select a vo-
cation. The person who is valua-|
ble has a fixed course, and hola
to it with tenacity. He evolves
the work habit, the health habit,|
and the study habit. Rewards of
life are for service. It’s desir-
able to be very much awake in
the day and to be very much
asleep at night. Love, modera-)
tion, equanimity, and love of |
work—no other rule is necessary. |

Brave Deed by a Mem-
ber of Our Faculty

Mr. Dieckman Slays Serpent.

Agnes Scott can add to Mr.
Carlyle’s list of divisions of he-
roes. For we have here “‘The
Hero as Snake Killer’*—a literary
division undreamed of in Mr. Car-
lyle’s famous thesis.
quite a new thing—only occurring
last week on the campus around
East Lawn. And the hero is—
guess who?—none other than our
quiet, peace-loving, gentle-looking
Mr. Dieckman. But, while cer-
tain other oceupants of East Lawn
stood safely within protecting
Mrs. Dieckman, her gallant knight
errant issued forth to slay the ser-
pent. It was a noble deed! Some-
one saw the animal outside, so it
was decided that the only thing
to do was to have his corpse in
the college collection of curios.
Out went Mr. Dieckman, armed

to the teeth with a walking stick
and several bricks, while that
obliging snake rested tranquilly,
unassumingly, unsuspectingly,
even, in the East Lawn flower gar-
den. Our hero cast one brick,
aimed true at the animal’s heart,
_ but the serpent was so shocked at
the apparition before him, that
his heart beat leaped up in agony,
so that the aforementioned or-
gan was not hit by the previously
named implement of torture, An-
other brick was cast—the animal
dodged and began to move quick-
ly to safer quarters. A third
weapon left our hero’s hand—the
serpent writhed in agony, but still
he lived, and furiously attacked
his enemy. Then the fourth brick
—the last of all, carefully aimed,
was produced, hurled, and hit the
offending victim straight on the
“‘eranium,’’ directly between the
eye-balls, exactly on the thala-
mencephalon. This proved fatal.
The serpent coiled furiously,
struck blindly, and lay prostrate.
The deed was accomplished. The
snake was killed, all except the
tail, which, as we know, is a harm-
less member of snake anatomy,
and Mr. Dieckman was joyfully
received into the comforting sanc-
tum of his doting family.

FOLIO CLUB, A THRIVING
FRESHMAN ORGANIZATION.

Perhaps just a little bit of gos-
sip about the Folio Club and its

work would not be out of place)

at this time. now that we are ap-
proaching the end of our Fresh-
man year’s work. The club is a
strictly Freshman organization
for the purpose of encouraging
literary effort along the line of
short stories and poems. This is
just the second year of the work
of the club, but we feel that it
has been such a source of pleas-
ure, and we hope of benefit, that
it has become one of our real
worth-while college interests. The
club offers an opening to Fresh-
men who are interested in writ-
ing, and besides that we have so
much fun from it that it really
don’t seem like work at all. We
meet every other week for about
two hours, each member bringing
an original short story or poem.
These are read and criticized, and
suggestions are offered that prove
very helpful as well as often very

This was quite the most inter-

the better known productions. The
excellent part about this is, how-

Aet I: Heroine leaves others
lof party down stairs, and begins
|the ascent of wooden stairs, which
are so interminable that she stops
|to examine carefully and ascer-
tain whether or not they be wood,
and shakes ‘every time she hears
a rattle, for fear that it may be
St. Peter with his keys. After
several decades of climbing she
unobtrusively sits down in a very
inviting-looking , seat near the
stairs. Enter, rushing up left
leenter, Villain, chanting furious-
ly, ‘‘Get out of those two-fifty
seats.’’ Exit Heroine, climbs
more steps, looks in at this story,
wailing brokenly: ‘‘Oh, [I have
sighed to rest me, down in some
comfy seat.’’ Sinks in first avail-
able seat. Enter Villain. D. C. al.

of Act I,

Act IL: Heroine’s eye lights
upon seats within sight lme—in-
vitingly vacant. Heroine rises,
bumps head on Auditorium roof,
which forms overture to ‘‘The
Swan Song,’’ in which Heroine’s
head swims mightily for several
minutes, ‘The bathing scene over,
Heroine again makes for vacant

terferes. Enter Hero, sees maiden
in distress, sends Villain away,

Heroine’s eyes light upon him. He
falls to the occasion, dropping,
with Heroine, a whole ‘‘story’’
down—alighting in a three-dollar
seat. “‘’Tis the Last Rows of the
Dress Circle, on Which My Heart
is Fixed.’’ Hero takes her to the
place of the lost organ, hoping to
recover part of it, is successful,
and retires. Hero, wishing for
more of the heart looks around,
sees vacant seat in box, and,
amidst remonstrances from the
assembled crowd, places Heroine
at the last stage of ‘‘La Pro-
gression’’—in a box reserved for
Enrico Caruso, who had not yet
appeared on the scenes. <A quiet

A LEAF FROM A SENIOR’S
DIARY.

Saturday Night, 11:30.

Oh, my goodness! I’m _ so
sleepy I’m about to croak, but I
can’t go to bed without writing
this beautiful party in. ‘‘Miss
Lucie,’’ one of our perfectly darl-
ing faculty members, gave a real,
‘‘sure nuff’? dance to-night, and
I never did have such a good
time. We went over at half-past
eight, and we didn’t get home un-
til—ten! I thought I’d gotten too
old and stiff to danee, but every
last one of us danced like Fresh-
men. Miss McKinney came too,
and she danced, of course; and
we had a grand march led by Miss
Lucie and Vallie Young. Mr.
Cunningham, the only swain of
the evening, was perfectly prec-
ious; he just marched around
the gym as gaily as if he’d grand-
marehed every day in the week.
Then we danced a regular old-
fashioned Virginia reel, and you
would never have recognized some
of us stately old Seniors by the
way we skipped so blithely around
in our happy orgies.

Miss Lucie said she was the
‘*bar-maid;’’ anyhow, what we
got at the bar was perfectly de-
licious. Can you imagine any-
thing more perfectly thrilling, or
filling, than all the cold, wonder-
ful home-brewed punch you want,

and good little cakes? Finney
played for us, and you know}
what it means when Finney

plays, it just puts dancing into
your feet so you had to dance. We
danced till the lights went out,
and then we danced some more in
the dark, and it was surprising
to see how easy it was to find your
feet, and then find the floor.

The dance broke up soon after
lights, and everybody went home
declaring that she never had had
such a good time.

We Inman Seniors helped bring
the things home, and after we got
to Miss Lucie’s room we had all
the punch there was left; fortu-
nately, the next day was Sunday.
and I can sleep late in the morn-
ing. Isn’t it funny you’re always
tired after you’ve had a _ good
time? I guess I must be espe-
cially sleepy, because I had an
especially good time. Being a
Senior is such fun, particularly
being at a Senior dance!

At the Alliance . Francaise.

Last Friday afternogn quite a
delegation from Agnes Seott went
into Atlanta to the Ansley, to

‘hear a lecture given by the French

Minister of Education. The Al-
lianee Francaise of Atlanta is the
biggest in the country next to
New York, so college girls are
fortunate in being able to hear the
very best lecturers which the
French Government sends to this
country.

But excellent French lecturers
seem to vary directly with the art
of talking into their beards, as
some one has been heard to re-
mark—the more famous the gen-
tleman in question, the harder he
seems to be to understand. (Of
course the beard may not be our

|only impediment, we must con-

fess, but it is a nice one to give,
and doesn’t cast any embarrassing
reflections on anybody around the
campus!)

The lecturer of the evening was
the French Minister of Education.
Ile has been several times to
America, and so he says, likes our
country better each time. He
congratulated American women
on the wonderful education that
they receive—better than that of
any women anywhere in the
world, and told us how the French
were copying our system as much
as possible in their schools. He
also congratulated American men
on having such charming wives
and mothers as they have, saying
that American women were the
most charming to be found any-
where, in spite, or possibly be-
cause of, the liberty which they
take as a matter of course, and
which seems so strange to the
closely-guarded Freneh girls.

Last of all, he stirred us to new
patriotism by speaking of the new-
ly-existing relations of admiration
and love which have been brought
about by Americans participating
in the great war, and her willing-
ness to sacrifice everything to the
pure idealism of the ‘‘liberty, fra-
ternity, equality,’’ which mark
the two great republics of the
world.

AMERICANISM.

a Strong-Minded
Woman?

Are You

Even if you are not a sufftra-
gette yourself you ought to be
mighty sorry if you missed Dr.
Anna Howard Shaw’s talk on that
subject, for it was worth hearing.
Dr. Shaw is one of the most noted
and competent workers for the
cause of woman suffrage, and her
lecture on Americanism last Fri-
day night at the Baptist Taberna-
cle was developed from the stand-
point of that subject.

Even one opposed to the en-
franchisement of women could not
but be impressed with the logical
and reasonable arguments put
forward by Dr. Shaw for that
eause. She said she thought one
of the queerest parts about the
suffrage argument was the fact
that there should be any argument
at all about it, that it should ad-
mit of debate or doubt. Dr. Shaw
said that every American prac-
tically agrees, or ought to agree

Lest We Forget!

“The March of the Deathless
Dead.”’

‘Gather the sacred dust

Of the warriors tried and true,
Who bore the fiag of a nation’s
trust
And fell in a cause, though lost,
still just
And died for me and you.

Gather them one and all,
From the private to the chief;
Come they from hovel or princely
hall,
They fell for us, and for they
should fall
The tears of a nation’s grief,

Gather the corpses strewn
O’er many a battle plain;
From many a grave that lies so
lone,
Without a name and without a
stone,
Gather the Southern slain.

We care not whence they came,
Dear in their lifeless clay.
Whether unknown, or known to
fame,
Their cause and country still the
same ;
They died and wore the Gray.

| Where’er the brave have died,
They should not rest apart;
Living, they struggled side by
side,
Why should the hand of Death
divide
A single heart from heart?

Gather their scattered clay,
Wherever it may rest;
Just as they marched to the
bloody fray,
Just as they fell on the battle day,
Bury them breast to breast.

The foeman need not dread
This gathering of the brave;
Without sword or flag, and with
soundless tread,
We must for once move our death-

less dead,
Out of each lonely grave.

The foeman need not frown,
They all are powerless now;
We gather them here and we lay

them down,
And tears and prayers are the

only crown
We bring to wreathe each brow.

And the dead thus meet the dead,
While the living o’er them
weep;
And the men by Lee and Stone-
wall led,
And the hearts that one together
bled,
Together still shall sleep.’’

“WAR AND OTHERWISE.”’

Topics in Brief,

The Nation.
In favor of selective conserip-
tion the argument is_ being

stressed that such a process alone
would avoid the wasteful em-
ployment of security which an in-
discriminate rush to the colors
involves. The Philadelphia In-
quirer is right in quoting the case
of thousands of British miners
who were sent into the trenches
before it was discovered that they

Y. W. C. A. HAPPENINGS.

Blue Ridge!

The Conference Committee,
composed of the girls who have
been to Blue Ridge, certainly suc-
ceeded in giving us not only a
very enticing and alluring picture
of the delights of Blue Ridge, but)
a very true one, because the de-
lights simply can not be over-
estimated. The only trouble about
telling people about Blue’ Ridge|
is that you can’t be truthful about |
it. Not even plain ‘‘gushing’’|
will do justice to the wonder and
the fulness of the 10 days spent!
there at the Y. W. C. A. confer-

ence.
Just ask any of the girls who|
have been: Spot, Annie, Jan,

Mary Neff, Brock, Sara Webster,
Louise Ash, Regina, ete.. and they
will tell you that you can’t do
Blue Ridge justice by merely writ-
ing or even telling about it. You
simply have to go to understand
how wonderful it is.

And because we want you to
know what Blue Ridge is we beg
everybody who possibly can, to go.
Think how much it would mean,
not only to Agnes Seott, but to
you as individuals to have a big
delegation there this year. It is
an opportunity that only few real-
ize and those who realize it are
the girls who have gone and who
know what Blue Ridge has meant
to them and to the work of the
association in our college. So let’s
everybody plan and work and
will to leave with the crowd and
have the most wonderful of times
in fun and play and in real spir-
itual and mental development.

Any of the girls who have been
will be only too pleased and glad
to talk it over with you and tell
you about the financial part of it
and may be able to help you very
definitely from their own experi-
ences. If you need advice see one
of these girls and let her help you.
And let’s will that Agnes Scott
shall have a big delegation and
let’s go to get the fun of good com-
radeship and the inspiration which
only a conference at Blue Ridge
can give!

Y. W. C. A. SERVICE SUNDAY,
APRIL 22.

Sunday, April 22, was a Blue
Ridge Sunday and was a fitting
service to supplement the Blue
Ridge Day which was given Wed-
nesday night by the members of|
the Conference Committee. Spot,
Gertrude, Mae Freeman, and last
and best, Miss Cady, brought Blue
Ridge right before our eyes and|
we all left with the firm intent of
drawing $35 from our poor and|
needy fathers whether destitute
on account of the decrease in the
price of cotton or the increase in|
the price of men’s ties! Spot told
us about the glory of the moun-|

,, everybody will and go and get the

THE AGONISTIC

tains and the outdoors, Mae about)
the athletics and good times, Ger-
trude ‘about the meetings and
**moonshines’’ of the conference,
and Miss Cady wound up with a
rousing talk on our social obliga-
tion in going; the benefit which
we would gain by coming back
with a ‘‘socialized conscience,’’
not as a text-book, but as a re-
ality and as a priceless possession.

Miss Cady is to be the Agnes
Scott leader at Blue Ridge so you
can all think of what fun it is
going to be. People have been
begging friends recklessly to go.
We even heard of one girl offer-|
ing to one of her friends the su-
preme inducement of sleeping
with her on the delightful porch
which Mae. deseribed! Let’s

best from, Blue Ridge and what is
equally as important, give Blue
Ridge our best in showing them
the Agnes Scott spirit.

ors and the Sigma Delta Phis with
a breakfast at Hast Lake. The
girls went out about ten o’clock

to the attractive club house. Some}
of them went swimming, showing |
Sev-|

much dexterity in the art.
eral attractive suits were worn,
Jane Harwell’s cunning black taf-
feta trimmed in black and white,
being an especially stunning one. |
There were several row boats oc-
cupied by others in the crowd.
An attractive seated breakfast
was served at eleven, after every-
body had obtained quite an ap-
petite by swimming and boating.

The menu consisted of strawber-|
ries and cream, lamb chops, rolls,
potato chips and coffee.

The girls returned home about |
one o'clock, after having enjoyed |
one of the most delightful events
of the year.

“WAR AND OTHERWISE.”’

could serve the country better by)
staying at home and digging coal.
The Hartford Courant cites the}
instance of skilled munition work-
ers who went to the front only to
be recalled after much delay and
trouble. But what these argu-
ments overlook is the fact that se-
lection can just as well be applied
to volunteers as to conscripts.
England, during the early months
of the war, would have made the
same mistake if she had conscript-
ed her men instead of calling for
them. For the simple fact is that
during the early months of the
war, its lessons were not under-
stood. Only after trench warfare

was established did the import-
ance of limitless munitions loom
up. Only after the war had|
dragged out for more than a year,
was it recognized that there must
be an organization of the nation |
behind the army. It was only in|
the third year of the war that)
Germany herself set to creating
her civic army. These lessons we
are profiting by to-day. The em-
phasis already laid on the food
problem, on the shipping problem,
shows it plainly. The lesson
learned, there is no reason why
we can not recruit as wisely as
we can conseript.

Are you going to win the swim-
ming laurels for your class? Or
are you going to snk? The meet
will be held in the Decatur Ath-
letie club pool. The A. 8, C. Ath-
letic Association will have use of
the pool for two weeks, and all
the girls are urged to practice so
their class may come out first.
There will be swimming for speed
and form, some of the strokes be-
ing, breast, over-hand, and back.

BASEBALL BEGINS.

The crack of bats and the thud
of mitts was heard on the athletic
field for the first time last Thurs-
day when Agnes Scott started
spring training for baseball.
Katherine Lindamood is managing
this great American sport. this
year and Mr. Tart is coaching the
players.

The girls who went out are en-
thusiastie over the game and the
only trouble there is now is that
not enough girls have entered.
The management can’t make a
success of baseball unless more
girls come out for the team and

all those who can are urged to)

come to practice on Monday aft-
ernoon. Surely there are more
**fans’’ in college than the hand-
ful who reported for practice last
Monday. Come out and get in
on the fun!

MISS GRIER ENTERTAINS.

Saturday evening Miss Lois
Grier entertained her guest for
the week-end, Miss Mary Frances
Cooledge, with a pleasant party.
The guests were received in Miss
Grier’s room where the hostess
and guest stood in a formal re-

ceiving line. After they had been)

Dimmock and Elma Wimberly.
Another voice (or two) was de-
tected through the transom.

GUESTS ARRIVING FOR
OPERA.

With the notice of the arrival
of the Limburger Opera Company
in Agnes Scott, reservations are
being made for the overflow of
guests. It is thought by the mus-
ieal association that this year’s
opera will be the most largely at-
tended of any since the days of
King Arthur. The opera com-
pany, since this is the third season
in Agnes Scott, is not entirely un-
known to the public and the Ag-
onistic takes pleasure in announe-
ing all the old favorites who are
in the cast.

Gowns, mavelous creations, are
being ordered from Louise and
Lucille, both of Decatur, and there
promises a most elegant display of
the season’s best. Box seats will
be on sale within a few days.
Since there is to be but one opera
(the Limburger Company never
plays a return engagement), sea-
son tickets will not be sold this
year.

“There will have to be new

telephone office to the chief clerk.

‘Why, what’s the trouble?’’

‘Well, some of the things said
over the wires are not fit for me
to hear.’”

flippant rejoinder. ‘“‘You can’t

HOW SHE MANAGED.

She had tried in vain to get the|
telephone, but the other parties
were using the line. The last time |
she heard one woman say:

““T have just put on a pan of
beans for dinner.”’

She tried later, but the women
were still talking. Exasperated,
she broke in crisply:

“*Madam, I smell your. beans
burning.’’

A horrified scream greeted this
remark and then she was able to
put in her ecall—National Month-
ly.

AMERICANISM.
(Concluded on page 4)

that the republican form of gov-
ernment is the most desirable
form. If this is true, then let us
have republican government. But
Dr. Shaw’s argument was that our
government is not really repub-
lican, the reason being that a re-
public is a government of the peo-
ple, by the people, for the peo-
ple, a government deriving: its

powers from the consent of the
governed, while our government
derives its powers from the con-
sent of only a portion of the gov-
erned, the women being excluded
from the government, The lecture
was colored throughout with
bright flashes of wit and humor
which only served to bring out the
points more strongly. Dr. Shaw
believes that women have as much
mental ability as men. As to the
question of a woman being capa-
ble of voting, Dr. Shaw said:
‘When a woman tells me that she
don’t know enough to vote, I al-
Ways agree with her!’’ After the
argument that our government in-
stead of a republic is an aristoc-
racy—of the men, Dr. Shaw re-
futed some of the arguments ad-
vanced against the equal ballot.
A woman who advocates equal
suffrage is called strong-minded.
**Well,’’ said Dr. Shaw, ‘‘When I
was called strong-minded, I didn’t
get scared—I just stopped to

think what it meant, and I said to
myself, ‘There are two kinds of
women—strong-minded and fee-
ble-minded, and I much prefer to
be called strong-minded.’’’ It is
argued that a woman may become
contaminated by the society that

political life brings her in contact
with, and to this Dr. Shaw pointed
out in a very beautiful way that
a true woman has that ‘which
holds her safe from whatever
danger she may encounter. She
paid a fine tribute to Pres. Wil-
son, saying that in spite of what
has been said to the contrary, that
he is not opposed to the equal
ballot, and that he is the first of
the presidents to faithfully keep
a promise in regard to that sub-
ject after his election, which he
had made before his election. And
while Dr. Shaw said that she dif-
fered from Mr. Wilson in the
method most desirable to obtain
the ballot, still he really does
favor it.

Dr. Shaw declared that while
men hate to be thought lady-like,
yet it is to be noted that when-
ever a man arrives at the highest
dignity and honor he may obtain,
be it pulpit, bench or class-room,
he always puts on a gown. Wit-
ness the bishop, the judge and the
professor. Dr. Shaw is a won-
derful personality and her lecture
was surely highly interesting and
entertaining as well as instructive
and Agnes Scott appreciated the
opportunity offered of hearing it.

AGGIE CAMPUS

This is certainly a heavy week.
Have you stopped to count up the
things we have had and are going
to have? There was the inter-
society debate Wednesday night
and the preparedness demonstra-
tion will be to-night, to say noth-
ing of the rehearsals for same.
And you won’t believe me but the
Blackfriar play will really be
given to-morrow night. Which
reminds me of a little incident,
after one of the rehearsals last
week—a lady who had been walk-
ing over the campus by Science
Building asked the coach what on

earth the trouble was between the

members of her caste. All the
lady could hear was:

‘‘Away, you are an ass!’’ and
**T beseech you, let it be remem-
bered in his punishment !’’

The lady was relieved to know
that there was no real friction

taking sister beginning to review
her ancient “‘je suis tu es and il
est’s’’ preparatory to the final
bout!

Something tells me we'll live
through the strain and on the day

among the players, but the words|we graduate we’re going to feel

overheard were a part of the lines
of one would-be-actress.

Silk-Lined Suits

The lining, to be sure, doesn’t add service,
but the feel—the comfort and satisfaction of
gliding into a coat lined with silk, creates that
“something’’ which makes one feel as if he
were groomed to perfection.

The silk in the lining of our suits is not an
added expense, but an extra value—which we
render our patrons and many of them enjoy
the luxury of a garment constructed in that

manner.

Suppose you slip iuto one of these silk-
lined garments and just see how it feels.

favor of the affirmative side of the
question.

Miss Ramsey, as second speaker
of the negative, since her colleague
|had discussed the ethical side of
\the negative, discussed at length
the practical side in all its details.
She argued along this line:

How does it work—either an ex-
|elusionist or a philanthropist.

She delivered a strong and
forceful argument along this line.

Then followed the rebuttals,
which were strong and snappy on
both sides, but the affirmative rep-
|resentatives killed some apparent-
lly strong points for the negative
representatives. Both sides put
up strong arguments and the issue
‘seemed very doubtful for quite a
while, but after the judges had
weighed carefully the arguments
of both sides, the victory was
awarded to the affirmative side,
and the Mnemosynean Debating
Society came out with flying col-
‘ors in the end.

BEST

a Splendid Crowd Witnesses The Season’s
Last Performance

There had been so much talk
about ‘‘the’’? play and such ex-
citement in the rehearsals, and
such a lot of postponements of
the final date for giving it, and
such a crowd of mysterious look-
ing individuals in the hall—look-|
ing like the most ferocious pi-
rates of our childhood dreams un-
til your eye fell on the lady-like
skirts that they wore,—that ev-
erybody simply had to go to see
the play on Saturday night.

And, in spite of that grand-
stand that made you feel like you
were spending the summer on
Pike’s Peak or sitting somehow,
on an inverted electric fan, and
in spite of that summer coat that
was so good and cooling that you
swore it was warm enough, and
in spite of those shivers that you
declared were caused by your
fear of the ferocious Dogberry,
everyone is glad she went. It was
a cold night, but the play was
better than the cold was bad.

We who remember. ‘‘Midsum-
mer Night’s Dream’’ thought
that nothing could ever be given
again that would come up to that.
*“Much Ado’’ was not better, but
was really quite as good, and the
present actors deserve more cred-
it as this was by far the more
difficult play to stage.

It must have been very nice to
have been in the play because
everybody said nice things about
everybody—those who only
danced were told how well they
did it—even the gentle Peanut
Rowe was praised for wagging
her head so well.

YET

In spite of Senior examina-
tions coming on so soon, the Sen-
iors managed to get time to take
most of the leading parts. We
all expected Gjertrud to do well,
and she did. Annie was darling,
and everyone fell in love with

Claudio. Olive Hardwick made|
a charming Hero while Jane
Harwell and India Hunt both

played their trying men’s parts
particularly well. Louise Ware,

Lois Eve and Louise Caldwell
did their share in making the

audience have a good laugh dur-
ing the evening. The other girls
in the play who attracted espe-
cial notice were Llewellyn Wil-
burn and Lucey Durr, but every-
one did well and was much ap-
preciated.

The Blackfriars and Miss
Gooch, their director, deserve a
vote of thanks from the entire
student body for having made
this year such a pleasant one to
us all.

Another presentation of ‘‘ Much
Ado*’ was to be given under the
auspices of the Atlanta Drama
League in town. either on Monday
night at eight-fifteen. or on Wed-
nesday night at the aforemen-
tioned hour on ex-Govyernor Sla-
ton’s lawn.

Perhaps this play was given in
Atlanta at one of the auditoriums
on Wednesday night. It may
not have been given at all. As
this is written in the future, and
will be read in the past, and the
reporter is a mere reporter and
no prophet, it is difficult to say
decisively what was the ease.

OUR HEARTIEST CONGRATU-
LATIONS TO THE NEW SIL-
HOUETTE AND ITS STAFF.

Here’s to the Annual Staff, the
faithful, ingenious bunch of au-
thors who have produced the
best book of all—the Silhouette
for 1917. We’ve been excited over
it ever since last fall when we
took statistics for the celebrities
of the college. We were just as
excited over having our own pic-|
tures made for it, and we were
awfully anxious that they be as
pretty as possible, for the sake of
the Annual, of course. And
we've been excitedly watching
for its appearance ever since we
heard it had gone to press. But
the Annual is one of the true
signs of Spring at Agnes Scott;
and when Spring was really here,
so was the Annual, although only
those who were so lucky as to be
named ‘‘Miss A to H’’ could get
theirs, nevertheless the others
couldn’t be kept away from the
fascinating volume.

Beginning with the cover and
ending with the last ad, the An-
nual is perfectly fine, and every
feature in it made it well worth
all the long waiting. The big
idea running-through it—that of
a complete library of Agnes Scott
literature all in one book— is
thoroughly original and certainly

appropriate for a real Annual.
One of the decidedly good fea-
tures is the recurring convention-
al design on every page, and an-
other is the excellent illustrations
which helps to make the Annual
bright and attractive. We lower
mortals who haven’t known the
hours of labor that the Staff
members have put on it can not
fully appreciate how really diffi-
cult it is to get up a good, clever
Annual; but we can appreciate
the fact that this is a truly repre-
sentative Annual, and that Agnes
Scott may well be proud of it.

NEW JUNIOR HOASC MEM-
BERS.

. Capable Girls Elected.

We are glad to hear that sev-
eral new members have been
added to Hoase from the Junior
Class to form a nucleus, as it
were, of next year’s membership.
The three girls elected are Samille
Lowe, Ruby Lee Estes, and Mar-
garet Leyburn. Hoasc, we feel.
means so much to the college,
and to every separate student at
Agnes Scott, that we are glad to
know that such girls as these will
be leading spirits in next year’s
organization.

‘Blackfriars Give Their Very Finest Play!

“MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING” IS THE Grand Banquet of the

Dramatic Club

A Reward of Merit.

Those Blackfriars certainly en-
joyed being in the spot-lights.
Here we have just given them a
whole column on that play of
theirs and several other columns
from time to time on the same
subject, and now they come and

jask for a write-up about a ban-

quet that is to be given on Sat-
urday night just after the May
Day festivities.

It seems that those Blackfriars
are going to have a great time of
it. Just as the sun has gone
down, they are to march in sol-
emn procession, in the Blackfriar
hoods and gowns,
torches, over the whole campus.
Then they will retire to the
Mnemosynean Hall, where their

regular meetings are usually held

and the doors will be closed to
all intruders.

After a short ritual the busi-
ness of the hour will. begin—to-
wit, the eats. It is said that this
is to be one of the biggest ban-
qnets of the year, and quite one
of the nicest. The menu will
consist of four courses, plentifully
intercepted with toasts’ The
whole thing is to carry out the
elub’s colors—black and white,
and will in that way harmonize
with the black and white decora-
tions of the banquet hall.

After an address of welcome
by the president and toastmaster,
Miss Louise Ware, the guests
will proceed to the first course—
pineapple cocktail with big dark
grapes on top. Then Miss Gooch
will toast all Blackfriars who
have been to all the rehearsals,
and roast all who do not fall in
this enviable group. Another
toast will then be called for (for
reasons to be learned later) to
which Miss India Hunt will re-
spond. India’s toast will be on
the subject of villains and then
hardships in general. Thus in-
troduced the second course will
come on—breast of fowl, pommes
de terres au ereme asparagus
au sauce blane avre pippets noires.
This it must be explained is white,
except for pippet noires—that is

why they had two toasts—to be

made black as possible—planned
to proceed and follow this course.

ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

Recruits Able Officers.

On Monday night, the entire
Athletic Association met in the
jchapel to elect the other officers
of the organization! It is a fine
lot of representative ‘‘athletes’’
jwhich have been chosen and we
| heartily congratulate ‘‘our-
‘selves’? upon their selection. The
Agonistic wants athletics to have
a vital meaning to every one of
the members for the year 1917-
18. Will you help to make it
grip our student life?

The following are the able offi-
cers who are going to make pos-
sible this ideal!

by her sensible and calm good
sense. Each of the others has
been chosen according to her gift
and talent; Lois MacIntyre will
keep “‘tab’’ on athletics for she
is interested heart and soul in
this. Margaret Leech and Olivia
Russell are valuable additions to
the staff; and Myra Seott will
continue the work she has had,
for the ‘‘Agonistie’’? just could
not get along without its business
manager. It is also very lucky
in securing the service ,of two
such capable girls as Frances
Glasgow and Lulie Harris. Taken
as a whole, this seems to be a
royally good bunch who will keep
up well the reputation of the
paper.

Because of her extreme popu-

Class was only interviewed to-
day for the first time, although
many attempts have been made
since the secret of her latest par-
ty leaked out. Since her advent
into the society of Agnes Scott-
ville, Miss Senior Class has given
two affairs regularly every year,
bestowing upon each a name most
unusual and clever. To this
year’s _ entertainment, whieh
promises to be by far the great-
est ever attempted, she has given
the name of ‘‘Senior Exams.”’
Each year Miss Senior Class has
been obliged to add to the list of
those invited because of her in-
creasing cireles of friends, so that
now she has been foreed to extend

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS!

OUR SWAN SONG.

Since this is the very last issue
of the Agonistie by the Staff of
1916-17, since the Seniors will
edit this paper during Senior
week, this is our last opportunity
to ‘‘sing our swan song!’’ Good
friends ‘‘o ’Auld Lang Syne.”’
We do not claim any beauty or
any merit for this ‘‘effort,’’ know
only that it ‘‘cometh from the
heart!’’

This song which is to be com-
posed is one of plaintive note, for
’ it makes a tear creep into our
‘editorial eye’? when we ponder,
—there’ll be no more lines to
count, no more type to set, no
more ‘‘copies’’ to mark! Is
it not a wailing air—this melody
we print? Perhaps, some of
our skeptical friends sneer at us
and say that there is no joy in the
mentioned tasks. Please hear
us when we say that we appre-
ciated every hour that has been
given us to learn the unforget-
able experiences of ‘‘paper’’ life.

And there our ‘‘air’’ of sad-
ness turns into one of gratitude.
It is the readers whom the edi-
tor of the Agonistie and the Staff
intends to thank from the depths
of their heart. You, students and
faculty, have been patient with
our shortcomings, have forgiven
us for our many errors, and, in
truth, have ‘‘backed”’ us in all our
manifold undertakings! When
your support was needed. you al-
ways answered our call and we in
turn, have tried to the best of our
ability, to please you and express
your views.

Even this grateful ‘‘note’’
changes and swells into a glad,
joyful echo! It is our last

‘*note’’—as the type is set and
the pages are numbered. But it
must ring out with the prospect of
a bigger and better college paper
than has ever yet existed. We
are so confident that the new
Staff will masterfully carry out
their splendid plans that we wager
“fall our goods’’ on them!

As a pledge of their good faith,
we give our own; in their name,
we ask the same efficient ‘‘back-
ing’? which we have received!
One melody in our song which
must last forever, which must
make our very heads swim with
the harmony of its tone—is that
of our ‘‘Alma Mater.’’ If the
Agonistie ring true to her and fur-
ther her enterprises in the future,
it will not have been edited in
vain!

PATRIOTIC LEAGUE!!

Emergency Work.

‘‘Naturally we are eager to

question comes, how can we as
Association members express our
spirit of patriotism? We must be
‘indeed ready to serve but we
ought not to run ahead of actual
ineeds for service and let the
| emergency work which we may
be called upon to do prevent us
from fulfilling our present obliga-
tions which are already upon us.

‘* _..In order that our Associa-
tion members may express their
patriotism and may unite their
loyalty to their country with their
loyalty to the purpose of the Asso-
‘ciation, we invite you to become
members of the ‘Patriotic League
of the Young Women’s Christian
Association.” Any member of
‘your Association is eligible, as
well as any student who wishes to
join a league under the auspices
of the Association. The league
imembership ineludes city and
country girls. The purpose of the
league is as follows:

** ‘Realizing my nation’s need,
I will express my patriotism by
doing whatever work I have to
do to the best of my ability. I
will be dignified, thoughtful of
the welfare of others, including
women of other nations, careful
to keep such standards of living
as shall make me a good citizen.
I will render whatever service I
can at this time to my country.’

‘“*A purpose card and a league
badge ean be purchased from the
Publication, Department, 600 Lex-
ington Avenue, New York City,
for five cents.’’—From the Senior
‘Student Secretary of the National
Board of the Y. W. C. A:

Is Agnes Scott patriotic? Do
we care enough for our brothers
‘and our friends and_our sweet-
hearts to make this Ifttle effort to
join this league when they are un-
selfishly giving their lives not
only for a strip of land and ‘a ban-
ner of silk, but for a great and
iglorious prineiple? If Agnes
Scott is to help in this war, if the
l'members of our college as mem-
bers of the great army of college
women are to be found not want-
ing when the test comes, let us all
begin by being loyally faithful in
the smallest things and let us de-
clare our allegiance to our duty
and to our country and to the men
of our country by joining this
Patriotic League at once.

Any one may join by giving her
name and five cents to Katherine
Seay, Chairman Educational De-
partment.

LEADERS AT BLUE RIDGE.

Many of the enthusiastic ‘‘ Blue
Ridgers’’ have seen the pamphlet
which came this week announcing
the leaders for the conference, but

the leaders at least:

AGGIE CAMPUS

I pause to mop my forehead—
not that the weather is particu-
larly hot, but those exams! The
Seniors who entered, as it were,
the conflict Tuesday have sent
back a report from the front,
which report having passed the
censors, reads like this:

Dear Girls: The exams came
upon us yesterday. The forts
were well guarded by General Re-
view, but the French and German
commanders are pretty cunning,
We expect. to attack on Saturday
and storm Tuesday, and we are
confident that the last enemy will
be routed by the end of next
week, Don’t let this conflict

worry you. We are expecting you
to join us in Tuesday, and
aid us in the final attack.
Yours in the Army,
THE SENIORS,
Fourth Infantry.

As our President says, ‘‘The
year is drawing to a speedy close.’’
When the first bateh of Annuals
came out Saturday morning, I
said, ‘‘This does look like the
end.’’ Wasn't it too bad that the
Annuals were only given that
morning to the girls through H in
the alphabet? Why, just think
how disappointed the Y’s and Z's
were to have to wait until Mon-

day for theirs. I met a girl out
on the steps of Main and I said:

‘Hello, Rosalind W—! How
do you like the new Annuals ?’’

“‘Haven't had a near sight of
one yet,’’ she said. ‘‘I’m going
to change my name to Susie Bone
and get me one.”’

How glad I was that I was Ag-
gie Campus! ‘

Girls, this is the last time I'll
have to talk to you this year, so
here’s hoping that you come out
fine on your work and I hope you
won’t forget your old friend
Agnes during the summer.

Au revoir, until next fall!

Aggie.

Silk-Lined Suits

The lining, to be sure, doesn’t add service,
but the feel—the comfort and satisfaction of
gliding into a coat lined with silk, creates that
“something’’ which makes one feel as if he

were groomed to perfection.

The silk in the lining of our suits is not an
added expense, but an extra value — which we
render our patrons and many of them enjoy
the luxury of a garment constructed in that
manner.

Suppose you slip iuto one of these silk-
lined garments and just see how it feels.

HOASC SUPPER.

On Wednesday evening, May
the second, the new members of
Hoase, Misses Samille Lowe, Mar-
garet Leyburn and Ruby Lee
Estes, were entertained at a de-
lightful supper. After their initi-
ation into Hoase they were és-
corted to the tea-room where a
delicious supper of pineapple salad
with Maraschino cherries, crack-
ers and orange ice and cake, mints
and nuts was served. After the
supper Gjertrud Amundsen made
a short talk, and each of the new
members pledged their loyalty to
the organization. The girls then

CULLINGS FROM SOCIETY.

Miss Lillie Jenkins enjoyed a
visit to Madison, Ga., for a few
days last week.

Miss Frances

Allen was the

‘guest of Misses Anne Kyle and

Spott Payne during Saturday,
Sunday and Monday.

One of the lovely guests for the
Blackfriars’ play was Miss Dorsey
Harris, of Birmingham, Ala., who
was visiting Miss Vallie Young
White.

Miss Elizabeth Allen entertain-
ed Miss Arcadia Near on Saturday
night.

Miss Ella Capers Weston spent
the week-end at the college.

ATTRACTIVE VISITOR AT
AGNES SCOTT.

One of the most attractive visi-
tors at the college recently’ was
Miss Katherine Parker, of At-
lanta, Georgia. She came Satur-
day afternoon as the guest of
Misses Spot Payne and Anne Kyle
and returned to the city Sunday
morning, after the play of Satur-
day night. Miss Parker is one of
the species of “‘rare guests,”’ only
having been with Misses Payne
and Kyle eleven nights; however,
the “‘rare’’ feature eomes in the
fact that this is the first time she
has allowed her name in these col-
umns.

Beautiful Nets, Laces, Embroideries, Flounces and

Novelty Trimmings for

Graduation Frocks

Back in September of last year, when prices were very
much less than they are today, a special trip was made to the
Eastern markets to gather these wonderful fabrics that you
might have the choicest of them for making the dainty gradua-
tion frocks and evening and party dresses.

We have, for instance, a plain net, fine mesh, full 2 yards wide,
that will serve as a beautiful foundation for dresses when trimmed a

bit with ribbon or lace. $1.00, $1.25, $1.50, $1.75.

Filet laces are used most effectively with Nets, and these we show
in edges and bands from 1 to 9 inches wide—perfect imitations of
the more expensive kinds, at 15c to $2.50 yard.

Embroidered Net Flounces—45 inches wide, in a wide range of
exquisite patterns, at $1.50 to $3.75 yard.

Shadow, Chantilly, and fancy Val. Flounces, at $1.00 to $2.75 yard.

We also have many novelty bands and edges in lace, for trimming
organdie or Georgette blouses, or the graduation dress made of those
materials.

THE AGONISTIC

ATHLETICS TO BE POPULAR
DURING NEXT WEEKS OF
STRESS AND STRAIN.

We feel safe in- predicting that
for the next two or three weeks
mutual ‘‘athleties’’ will be about
the only kind indulged in by the
girls. In the stress of examina-
tions. there will be little time for
tennis or any kind of recreation.
yet it is all the more important
that the girls should not neglect
to take at least a half-hour or an
hour out of doors each day. You
will find that you can study much
better and faster after a little ex-
ercise and that the time spent in
walking will not have been spent
in vain.

TRACK DISCONTINUED.

It was with much regret that
the manager of track has had to
give up the plans for the field
meet and discontinue practice.
Much rain and a searecity of en-
trants has brought about the fail-
ure of her plans to carry. Next
year, however, we hope to make a
big thing of track.

example of what can be done.)
Laborers now ¢ome to own their!
own places and are raising their
standard of ideals. Organization
has helped to bring this about.

A strike is not merely for the
money, or for the extra time, but
for the leisure time for the pur-
pose of development. There are
two directions for the laborer to
go—upward and downward. In
the economie condition in which
many of the laborers are, it is im-
possible for them to go upward.
By right of this power of produc-
tion has the laborer the right for
the necessaries and also for the
better things of life. A natural
and right pride spurs him. on.
The laborer should be allowed to
keep his standard of living once
he has sueeeeded in raising it.
Quitting work to raise the stand-
ard of life is commendable, be-
cause whatever progress is made
is permanent and you are getting
them out of the depths. Mr.
Jones is a good speaker and pre-|}
sented his subject most effective- |
