VOL. IL. 


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

On September

gave its annudé 


appointed for the purpose, 
old girl was “‘assigned”’ 


girl, bearing the relation of 

**Grandmother to her new 
charge. In this way. each new 
girl felt thoroughly cared for and 
the old girl on her part learned 
‘to. know at least one new girl 
well. 

Dr. Gaines in his dress-suit and 


the members of the faculty in a 
row near him learned innumer- 
able names and smiled and look- 
ed pleasant and promptly forgot 


them. It was all very informal, . 
though, more so than any former 
\Y. W. reception because the 
system of ‘‘breaking’’ was fol- 


| \lowed and. if you forgot anybody ’s 
Peers which was an extremely

lasked it and forgot it again and 
then you both laughed and de-

“MORNING WATCH.”’ 
An Explanation, 
For the benefit of the new girls 
|\who may not understand just 
|} what Morning Watch means, Miss 
| Katharine Seay, the, chairman of 


the Morning Watch Committee. 
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 
these services without feeling 
she has made the best begin 
possible for a new day and a 


that the new system will have the open and the guests began to ar-| how much joy can spread out from} dents, the Agonistic welcomes the! each try to have our yoicesS among

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} 
counting on you! |

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

munications with due con-|** 


and us 


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 
/ unnamed body by its lawful title 
—FRESHMEN! Though it’s some 

_ few years since we've had 
name written in wee, 
in the ‘‘Silhouette*’ and our 


‘| termed 


this| 


our | 
tiny letters| advertisers. 
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| 
Agnes Seott ‘‘inhabitants”’

we'd feel we knew a great deal 
more about our ‘‘Alma Mater’’ 
when we read those delightful

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!

The Nation, October 5th. 

The Presidential campaign may 
now be said to be in full swing. 
Saturday was signalized by two 
carefully caleulated speeches, one 


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


quished his non-partisan attitude 
and struck out boldly against the 
Republican. party. 

The threatened 
strike growing out of street 
way troubles has failed to 
terialize. 

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

Mr. Hughes de¢lared labor issue

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 


followed one-step in pleasant al- 
ternation. ‘‘Breaking”’ 
noticeable feature of the occasion 
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 
were Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Miss 


Lewis, Miss Bourquin, Miss Will- | Lois Leavitt, 
Miss York, | Emily Miller, Elizabeth Stoops,

lems in the student body. Conse-

trouble. 


“THE AURORA.”’ 


Its Future. 

The Aurora, our quarterly mag- 
azine, is soon to appear according 
to information which The Ago- 
nistic has just received from Miss 
India Tlunt, the editor. This 
means that, in November, we shall 
see and read it in its new form. 

An ** Aurora’’ box will be placed 
in Main Building at an early date. 
In it the students are asked to 
place any or all of their literary 
efforts. Whatever you put in it. 
whether printed or not, is a credit 
to you for, at least, ‘‘the spirit is 
willing even though the flesh be 
weak.*’ Therefore, as “‘loyal citi- 
zens”’ of A. S. C., keep in mind the 
fact that the Aurora is your own 
possession, that the things which 
compose it are your own posses- 
sions. With this idea, please use 
vour “‘eollege spirit,’’ everybody. 
in order to make the Aurora really

“Reign of Terror” 


Soph’s “Sentence 


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 
enforce thi 
ter. Some 
ment Us 
eral 
sing ; 
Dudley ’s benditfon ; 
Loves Me, Everybody Hates Me.”’ 
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: 
Dr. Armistead, so they say, 
Goes a courtin’ every day. 
Pistol and Delta Tau Delta 
pin by his side, 
Trying to win Miss Markley for 
his bride. 

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 
of the session.

of 1919 and 1920 will come to an

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1916. 
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 


is like a wee : 


wouldnt you just wish there had 
never been ‘*no such animal’ as a 
car strike? Now. wouldn't you? 


RECENT EVENTS. 
(Concluded from p. 1.) 
taken from under the ground into 
the air. The results of these 
efforts have been encouraging. 
The Germans have been foreed 
from their trenches over wide 

area. 
England in 


a 


controversy with 
Sweden over right to search neu- 
tral vessels and remove parcel 
mail. England declares her mail 
seizures justified, 

The strike in Atlanta of the 
street car men has not progressed 
any. Both sides of the question 
refuse to listen to a mediation com- 
mittee. There has been compara- 
tively little violence. 

German submarines sunk six 
ships off Newport and three of the 
ships had American passengers. 

Big milk boycott growing as 
State moves in inquiry in New 
York, Distributors and producers 
offer futile concessions and ae- 
cuse each other. 

Canvasses indicate that ninety

way Men are for Wilson. 


Embarrassing question will 
arise from submarine raid. Com- 


plications with Germany not nee- 
essarily the result. Four British 
ships. one Dutch and one Norwe- 
gian ship were the victims of the 
raid.

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-

| BIBLE STUDY CLASSES. 
(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

Manhood of the Master,’*’ and the 
Juniors and Seniors, ‘*‘The Teach-

BE A BOOSTER.

Don’t be a kicker, be a boos-

Condemn a poor policy or plan,

fand Austria were on one side“and 
France and Russia were on the 
other. Five days later England 
entered the struggle on the side 
of France and Russia. After three 
days Belgium joined these Allies. 

The world knew that Germany 
Was the strongest military power 
and would take the offensive. It 
was necessary for Germany to deal 
France an overwhelming blow at 
Hfirst. Germany decided to attack 
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 
race for the coast began, and in 
two armies locked

In the East, the Russians were

the Carpathians to the Baltic

side of the Allies and Turkey and 
Bulgaria on the Teutonic side.

nally in an attack ‘on Constanti-

and Montenegro. In 1916 things 
have gone decidedly to the Allies. 
Roumania has entered for the 
Allies. The Allies have learned 
the lesson from the Germans, the 
lesson of preparedne ss. Munition

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

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. 
fore, everyone will have a reason 
|for practicing hard,

‘thrilling pastime this year. we 
‘hope. Practices are scheduled to 
take place every Monday after- 
noon at five o’clock, and it takes 
twenty-two girls to make two full 
teams. Why not try out for 
hockey, then? You'll like it and 
jnohody knows how to play yet.

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: 
and even in the most active period

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. 
the faculty taking their places on 
the platform and the Seniors oceu- 
pying the front seats of the chapel. 

The service was opened with a 
prayer, after which Dr. Gaines

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

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.

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

number of your members who take 
and read their own copies of the 
national Association magazine?

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 
that comparatively few take any

The cost of a medium-sized. 
cement pool has been estimated at 
about seven or eight hundred dol- 


lars. Now, with $50.00 as a_be- 
ginning, an enthusiastic student 


body could soon raise enough for 
a pool. Let’s get together on this 
and see what can be done.

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, | 
won't tell who it was, but there 
| were some present who cast ap-

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? 

The following night a blood- 
curdling scream issued from the 
dark depths of Caroline Sproul’s|

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 
classes except the freshmen begin- 
ning at 2 o’clock.

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.

In such stately terms did the 
Senior Class invite the entire stu- 
dent body to. a Hallowe’en party 
last Saturday night. But the in-| 
vitation was the only stately thing | 
about the party, for ere the thresh- | 
hold was crossed a clammy hand 
had to be shaken, and a broom- 
stick jumped, thus sweeping away 
every vestige of dignity one might 
have had, <And, speaking of dig- 
nity, there were other disturbing 
elements; a certainly — lively 
‘spook’? who managed to keep 
things in an uproar, and sundry 
black robed ‘diphtheria germs” 
who flitted here and there, bring- 
ing terror in their wake, and 
creating a general seattering. Still | 
there was a tendency to collect 
around the fortune teller’s grotto, 
and the “‘wishing well,’’ which 
held a potent charm for the ladies. 
Who would not go through a 


~+thorsandcontortions, -and=setitt | 


for hours through the infinitesimal | 
peekhole to catch a glimpse of the 
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 
spooks’? could be distinguished 
and the Gym did look beautiful—

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 
part in the life of the students 


here, and who are leaders in the

put before the student body, that 
will be of real interest to all.

Are you a Democrat, Republi-

No matter to what political party 


you may he pledged, get busy 
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

Wilson

It will all be immensely inter- 
esting, girls, and very instructive. 
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- 


son, work for your candidate, or 
the Hughes people will surely 
win. And if the Republicans in 


our midst get sleepy on their jobs, 
the Socialists or Prohibitionists 
may surprise them by coming out 
ahead. 

Lively campaigns are being 
conducted on the campus by all 
parties. Come to the C hapel 
Monday night, boost for your can- 
didate, and see who Agnes Scott 
elects for the next president of 
our nation.

Ilave you noticed around Agnes

‘“y, W. posters,’’ these days? 
It’s gotten to be so bad that a 
little Freshman inquired of an 
upper classman who the girl wa 
whose initials were ‘“Y. W.”’ She 
must be awfully popular the 
Freshman thought. She heard so 
very much about her! Do you 
realize that we are leaving out the 
most important letter of the whole 
group, the ©, and do we realize 
just what the C means in Y. W.

~ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1916. 
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 
face. She welcomes the tired 
shop-girls as they come from 
work, so nervous and weary that 
they can hardly speak. She is 
glad and willing to instruct the 
people from the country as to 
ways and means in New York, | 
when they have come there as 


strangers. 
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, 
and of the ideals we form in col- 
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, 

Until last year, 


nothing of the 


kind had ever existed at Agnes 
Seott. Realizing that many need- 


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?

for very few people will read it,

Dear Clario La Mour:

“valler’’ dog which took up with 
us in Inman Hall, and now the 
dog-catecher has taken it away. 
Tlow shall 1 recover from the great 


loss? 


Dear Friend : 

Bathe your eyes in kerosene 
every night to relieve the ache. 
Ilold a large piece of ice against 
your heart for fifteen minutes 
every morning at dawn. Then, if 
you ll stand for three hours on one 
foot and twirl your thumbs, I be- 
lieve vour mind will be taken 
from vour great loss.

Dear Miss Clario: 

For weeks I have been madly 
in love. Every Friday morning | 
place some token of affection on 
my adored one’s desk. He spurns 
ite—has never even said ‘* Thank 
you.’ Do you think he could 
ever love me?

curring. Last Thursday, we. 
namely, Agnes Scott, had the | 
pleasure of entertaining, at a 
lune sheon, the members of the 

‘“Woman’s Synodical of Geor- 


gia.’ These charming ladies at- 
tended our Investiture service and | 
dined afterw ards in the Mnemosy- | 
nean hall. ‘‘Miss Phi’’ had pre-| 
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 
efforts.

Whatever the treatment contem- |

the association in Buffalo, though 
discussing many aspects of prison 
administration and reform, laid 
further stress upon this requisite

need of individual treatment, not 
unlike that involved in psychoan- 
alysis, was strongly put by Dr. 
Guy Fernald, resident physician at

Two match basket-ball games 
have been scheduled for Thanks-

play the Freshmen, and the 
Seniors play the Juniors. These 
are the first match games of the|

cases and excitement is high 
among the players. 
HOCKEY PRACTICE, 


The best hockey practice we 
have had took place last Monday 
afternoon, although there were 
not two full teams out even then. 
Nevertheless, those who do come 
out are getting into good shape, 
and the ones who do not are miss-

Rowe is the captain of one and 
Gjertrud Amundsen of the other.

Agnes Scott Elects Wilson as President!! 


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. 
“Shall we go cotton mad 


again?’’ asks the Montgomery Ad- 
vertiser in the title of a leading 
editorial. It is afraid, as many 
Southerners are, of the effect of

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 
she mentions Miss Mary E. Mark- 
ley. to whom she is indebted for 


leoking over her book and for 
offering valuable suggestions. She 


Miss 

to whom she owes many 
considerations. But above 
that she is indebted to 
Prof, Calvin Thomas and Prof. 
Wm. Addison Henry, both of Co-| 
for the valua- 
ble knowledge gained from them 
which made possible the book she 
has written. The literary value 
of this book has been recognized 
by people of learning all over the 
educational world, and it will un- 
doubtedly be of great help to those 
who pursue their studies along 
that line. A copy of ‘‘Theodore| 
Fontaine as a Critie of the 
Drama’’ may be found in’ our) 
Agnes Scott library. We all wish 
to offer our congratulations to 
Miss Trebein on the success she 
has attained, and to thank her for 
the work she has done.

‘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- 
ple Children’s Home, where we 
may go and bring untold joy to a 
tired, suffering child. The Child- 
ren’s Orphanage of Decatur, the 
branch of the Y. W..C. A. in At-|

are all places and organizations 
which have a very vital need for

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 
Scott—an Edueation Club, formed 
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. 
let’s all join and make this a sue- 
cess—don’t be bashful—there are 
NO DUES!!! 


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

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. 


IMPROVEMENTS. 
Athletics seem slowly but surely 
to be opening its sleepy eyes and 
taking on new life. During the 
past week an outdoor basket-ball 
court has been fitted up for us by 
the college. The space

Three Cheers For Him! 


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. 

Miss Agnes Seott Donaldson

slogan was given to 
That weighty and defiant 


chal-

Americanism, constitutional suf- 
frage, social and industrial pre- 
»aredness, preservation of Ameri- 
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 
for government ownership of 
utilities, for representation of the 


masses, for the single-tax, for 
eight-hour a day legislation, and 


for the Socialistie party in Ger- 


many. 
Mr. Manly had his capable ad- 
vocate, Miss Helen Hood, who 


duly considered the great princi- 
ples which were at stake. Though 
this platform was too lengthy for 
full diseussion, its foundations 
were splendid and its features 

ideal. However, it greatly ‘lif. 
fered from the others in that the 
paramount issue of this Prohibi- 
tion party was a moral one. Turn- 
ing from the ‘‘platform,’’ Miss 
Hood gave the salient characteris- 
tics of her chief and even re-

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) 
rmer members to have a’

along that line won ‘+ make that rally to give an enthusiastic wel- 


latent college spirit rise into prom- 
inence. Our college songs are sure 
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.’’ 
There were three ring perform-

Not only will I tell you how to

to preserve any other fruit. Take 
the figs (or other fruit, meat, vege-

sire to preserve, wrap it carefully 
in tissue paper. Then, after tying 
oileloth about it tightly with a 
heavy cord, put it into an air-

A. 8. C. ELECTS WILSON. 
(Concluded from page 1) 

Wilson did not intend to have the 
lives of thousands sacrificed for a 
few favored capitalists. Hughes 
was substituting abuse for argu- 
ment and avoiding the main is- 
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 
his ery. 

By an electoral vote of 251 to 
34, Woodrow Wilson was elected. 
He was immediately telegraphed 
congratulations in which the Ago- 
nistic most joyfully joins!

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. ”’

At Agnes Seott we’ve got some! 
teams 

That know the way to play, 
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 
end, 
Work! Work! for every goal, 
College honor to defend. 
Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! 
Play for Agnes Seott 
And cheer the girls that play 
the game,

rather of the abandonment of the

has made such headway in the

agreed to comply with the de-| 
mands of the Allies, of which the 
essential points presumably are 
non-interference with the military 
operations at Salonika, the sup- 
pression of the German propa- 
ganda, and the restitution of some 
sort of constitutional liberty to the 
country. Compliance with the 
first of these demands is to be 
seen in an order transferring 
troops from Thessaly and the 
Ephesus to the Peloponnesus.

News of Interest. 


=—-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 
‘dozen other states of the North 
west imperilled or shattered, we) 
can hardly be blind to what is 

Syuiecront- “fresveptre ot politieal 
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 
the announcement by the British 
Admiralty of the torpedoing in 
the Mediterranean, without warn- 
ine, of the P. and O, liner, Avalra. 
On board were 437 passengers, all 
of whom were saved. On Wed- 
nesday, we have a brief dispatch 
recording an attack on the Ameri- 
éan steamship Columbian. On

requests that all the Alumnae 
take especial note of this, for she

SOUTH CAROLINA CLUB 
ORGANIZED. 


Our Best Wishes to It! 


The South Carolina Club was 
reorganized Friday night, and 
Miss Rita Schwartz elected presi- 
dent. This is the first of the state 
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 
party. Promptly at eight-thirty 
Saturday night, all the members 
of the Palmetto State met in the 
room of the newly elected presi- 


dent and had the grandest time

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. 
after soaring info the aesthetic 
realms of dramaties? Anyway, 
eur good friend, “‘Fannie Tea- 
Room’’ was responsible for the 
last, and not the least suecess of 
the rally. 


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? 


PERSONAL BIBLE STUDY. 
Please Try It. 


The Freshman Commission this 
vear is proposing a very helpful 
and very hard work. They are 
personally going to try to find out 
what girls do personal Bible Study 
and influence them to make a 
habit of reading the Bible as a 
study and as a pleasure each day. 

It is demoralizing to skip about 


in the Bible and concentrate on 
certain familiar passages. You 


lose the beauty of the dynamic 
structures of if and do not get 
the breadth and scope unless you 
have a regular plan of personal 
study.

our daily lives here at college. fur-

that we do and we ean never hore 
to make it so unless we supply per- 
sonal Bible Study.

nual member is we had better ex- 
plain what an annual member is,

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

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.

“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.

“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- 


cominitted at Agnes Scott. 

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 


gest some remedy out of such a 
difficulty ? 
Yours in humility, 
Sister. 


My Dear Sister: 

To begin with, you should not 
take any girls you do not know 
totown. It’s dangerous! Then if 
vonr memory not good, you 
should pin labels on all the young 
ladies whom you chaperone, Never 
speak to one not labeled and if one 
addresses you, look straight

purse, and spurn her, Hoping

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-

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,

Ilere is a bit of good news for 
the Agnes Scott swimmers. The 
Athletie Association, in making its 
plans for the swimming meet to 


be held in the spring has already 
obtained permission from the De- 
eatur Athletic Club to use its pool 
and has written the management 
of Bast Lake asking if they will 
not grant us the privilege of using 
their lake for the occasion. The 
meet will be held at one of these 
places, preferably the latter.

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:

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.

The Societies, Propylean and

pantomime debate between Sophie 
Newcomb and A. S. ©, and of 
course, Agnes Scott won. 

B. O. Z. and Folio represented 


a picture of a ‘‘roasting’’ of the 
literary efforts of a Freshman 


which turned out to be Gray’s 
“*Blegy’’ instead of an original 
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- 
tion had been neglected. The 
stage setting was very unique and 
attractive for this scene, 

The Athletic Association showed 
us athletic spirit snubbed and ig- 
nored by faculty, student body, 
Decatur movies, library notes and 
other things; then finally boosted 
up by the Association. Our new 
athletic song was then sung with 
a vim by the whole audience. 

The Blackfriars. heralded by 
girls dressed in Blackfriar cos- 
tumes, then gave us a glimpse of 
a try-out sitting. The committee 
assembled, Gjertrud Amundsen 
realistic as Miss Gooch, bewailed 


‘the faet that all were late; Miss 


Cady (Caroline Larendon), Miss 
Markley (Margaret Phythian), 
and Miss MeKinney (allie Alex- 
ander), came in very characteris- 
tically. Llewellyn Wilburn as 
Mr. Dieckmann, K. Seay as Myr. 
Johnson, and Annie Silverman as 
Dr. Armistead, completed the fac- 
ulty members of the committee.

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

‘‘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

THE BLUE PARADISE. 

“The Blue Paradise’? whieh will 
be seen here at the Atlanta to- 
night, Saturday and 
matinee, offers an excellent illus- 
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 
the prophesy made by the critic}

coming to act like dust- ‘ 


Saturday. : 


Paradise’’ created at its opening 
night and the erowded houses that 
have so far greeted its every pre- 
sentation on tour leave no doubt 
as to the prediction being fulfilled. 
Paul Nicholson, Miss Norton, Gus- 


tav Baci, Lucey Fields, Charles 
Bowers, Yolande Preszburg, Rob- 
ert Allen and Charles Derickson 


are included in the brilliant cast 
of almost 100 persons the Messrs. 
Shubert will present here in ‘‘The 
Blue Paradise.” 


“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

Dear Miss Clario: 

I take a very difficult poetry 
course. I study quite a bit, but 
am in the class with four genuine 
poets. who. write brilliant rondels, 
irrelais. sonnets, ballads and blank 
verse, But my dear, I can not 
write a line of poetry and always 
get the worst mark in the class on 
examinations. Last year I only 
made A’s! What would you do? 
Dear Worried Student: 

Do not be discouraged. Just 
memorize all the assignments your 
teacher gives and you'll get along 
all right in your next examination.

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. 

Cheer leaders have been elected

he the first woman to appear in| 


one of the greatest Parliaments in 
the world. 

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. 


“STUNT NIGHT’’ PLEASES.

Demetrius and Louise Ware, as} 
the heroine, and also as Puck, the} 
sprite. Louise’s graceful move- 
ments and beautiful interpretation 
of her part was very touching— 
the audience went into hysterics. 
Olive’s interpretation of the hero 
was also very good, and India as} 
the villain was melodramatic in 
the extreme. After the try-out 


“Miss Gooch’? decided that- their 


dramatic instincts were very good.) 


The rest of the committee agreed 
with her, and all were received 
into the Dramatie Club. 

The Glee Cinb rendered a very 
beautiful and complicated song. 
“Ding Dong Bell, Pussy’s in the 
Well.** 

All the organizations then came 
hack upon the stage, the audience 


arose and ‘“‘Alma Mater’? was} 
sung. Cheers were then given for 


IIoase and for Louise Ware and 
all departed, after a very enter- 
taining evening,

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.

A. 8. C.’"S CONTRIBUTION 
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 ! 

We, as students and teachers of 
‘this day and good year 1916, have

helped to deny ourselves in an

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, =

merely critical in their attitude. _ 


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


me unanimously in saying that 


we feel the Agonistic to be one of - 


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


‘best of the college weeklies in 


‘many respects, and we know that 
‘if we get together on the proposi- 
tion, we can place it where it will 
‘not easily be excelled among pub- 
lications of like character. _

Good friends, we've just been 
wondering if you really knew te 


how much you mean to us, When 
the Agonistic began to think up 
what it should be sho’ nuff thank- 
ful for, many things came to mind 


—all those wonderful pies, tur-

“‘voodies’’ which made us feel 


good at the time but afterwards 
—oh, dear! Still we're not truly 
as grateful for them as we are 
for YOU; it’s YOU by YOUR 
kindly eriticism; it’s YOU by 
YOUR good advice; it’s YOU by 
YOUR encouragement who make 
us see that life’s certainly worth 
while!

The Tennessee State Club also

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. 


There were

whom were Latin Americans, 
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,

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

Now, every one who has ever seen | 


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.

urer made her report amid breath- 
less silence all around, and we 


‘found at the end that Blackfriars 


cleaned over sixty dollars from 
‘The Oxford <Affair.’’ Wasn't 
that just splendid? 


sut just because ‘*The Oxford 
Affair’’ is a thing of the past, is 
no sign that Blackfriars will re- 
fire into the dark and not be 
heard from any more. Those 
footlights were too fascinating! 


We've already begun making 
plans: for a lot more plays during 
year. Miss Gooch has ordered 
a stack of new plays, and hopes to 
ceive a “‘ripping”’ one on the night 
of Washineton’s birthday. She 
doesn’t quite know what it will be

Then Miss Gooch suggested that 
each member of the club read all 
of Shakespeare’s comedies, along 
with a few favored tragedies, by 
the next meeting, so as to decide 
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! 

Anyhow, we were brought to 
earth again by the best ice cream 
cones, and everybody left in a 
hurry to get to the library in time

ped, that true Georgia product, 
other goodies were made way 
with, and the only thing that 


marred the fun was the fact that 
the corn was black instead of 
white. There’s a superstitition in 
South Georgia that when the corn 
is black, someone present is go- 
ing to get into trouble—flunk a 
test, or something! They wonder 
who it is. 


QUITE TRUE. 
Young Mr. Hallowell was not 


much of a preacher, but, much to} ‘ 
his own surprise and everybody] ¢ 


else’s, he was appointed chaplain 
on a battleship. He desired to 
amuse as well as instruct his men, 
and to that end he arranged a 
jmagic lantern lecture on Bible 
scenes and incidents. 


A sailor who possessed a gramo-] 4 
phone was secured to discourse} % 
between the] 2 


appropriate music 
slides. The first picture shown 
was Adam and Eve in the Garden 
of Eden. The sailor eudgeled his 
brains and ran through his reper- 
toire, but he could think of no 
piece exactly appropriate. 

**Play up, play up,”’ whispered |” 
the chaplain. 

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, 
and there is no telling what might 
|come next if the lady had not put 
a sudden stop to the conversation 
by a bit of strategy. 

She turned her head, 
that the bride was considerably 
than the groom and in the

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

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.

Flonzaley Quartette 


Fine Program. 


The Flonzaley Quartet, at the 
“Cable Tall, Wednesday nigut, was 
‘immensely enjoyed by all who 
heard it. This is a string quartet, 
the finest in America. Much ap- 
preciation of musi¢ and its forms 


is required to understand and en- 


f 


joy this quartet. The quartet was 
originated by Mr. Coppet, a rich! 
business man, who was intensely 
fond of music. He paid them) 
enough, so they would be able to| 
devote all their time to study and 
practice—to attaining unison, 
They played only for his own and 
*his friends’ delight and entertain- 
ment. They took their name from 
his summer home, Flonzaley. 


They made a concert tour some | 
for B. O. Z. For Margaret Rowe,

time later and were such a great

death of their patron, the quartet) 
became independent, and now 
make tours everywhere. No- 


where have they been received | 


with greater appreciation than in| 
Atlanta, This was their third trip 
to Atlanta. 

‘ music was in sonata form, 
» pieces chosen suited the 


vas a quartet from Haydn, 
m Mozart, and one movye- 
rom the quartet of Smetena, 
Bohemian. The whole pro- 
gram was enthusiastically  re- 
ceived by the select audience. 

During the tours of this quartet 
it has become extremely famous 
and wherever it stops is received 
with open arms. The only regret 
we have is that more people can 
not hear and appreciate this won- 
derful opportunity.

“AN HOUR OF MUSIC.” 


Given By Our Music Faculty. 


Quite an interesting event of the 
week was the music recital given in 
the chapel on Saturday evening, 
December 9th, by members of the 
music faculty. The recital began 
at eight-thirty and lasted until 
nine-thirty. There was quite a 
large audience made up not only 
of members of the college com- 
munity but of outsiders as well. 
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.

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.

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

cuess it was about two million

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

Now. what does that spell, ding

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

**T won’t say nothing to nobody

trump eard with assurance. ‘‘Tlow

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

FOR HIGH GRADE WORK. 


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.

most interesting lecture to the 
eirls, Dr. Gaines is an associate 


professor with Dr. Block at the 
Atlanta Medical College, and is a 
nerve specialist of unusual ability. 
Ile spoke on ‘*The Fundamentals 
of Mental Ilygiene and their Ap- 
plic ation. This is a subject of 
growing importance and of all- 
absorbing interest. 

Hygiene is the science of health 
preservation. It is important that 
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- 


Juniors are going to give a 
“show.*’ This announcement will 
be greeted with pleasure by the 
whole school, for the cireus that

ras thoroughty enjoyed by every 
one. The Juniors don’t admit vet 
that they are planning anything, 
but when several Juniors were 
questioned they smiled and looked 
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 
“take off’ on the school, At any 
rate it is goimge to be funny—of 
that much we are sure. Of this 
fact we are sure you will be con- 
vinced when we tell you that 
Caroline Larendon, Llallie Alex- 
ander and Emma Jones are the 
prime promoters of this show. 
Everybody knows what these girls 
have done, and what they can do.

often due to the lack of a certain 
sense in the parents. In England 
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- 
ed children. The latter is due to 
some physical disturbance. For 
these feebleminded people an in- 
stitutional life is best. They need 
supervision and in many cases can 
be trained to be fairly useful citi

preventing feeblemindedness is to

ample credit to our ‘‘budding

Another article which had a note

Dorothy Thigpen, which impress-

of English drama. Miss Olive

was ‘“‘The Technique of Ibsen’s

be taken of nervous children to

ANTI-HOMESICKNESS PARTY. | 


On Saturday evening, February 
3rd, the *‘On Ps Social 
Committee of Y. W. A, enter- 
tained the girls who in entered 
college this semester with a de- 
lightful little ‘* Anti-Homesick- 
ness’’ party. The guests were in- 
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- 
ner tears. They are hoping Y. W. 
will take them in hand again soon 
with as good a time as they had 
Saturday night.

BALLS AND BALLS. 


There are many kinds of ball, you 
know, 
And each have different names; 
They’re rubber ball and formal 
balls, : 
And balls we use in games; 
But the ball that interests us just 
now 
Is—Basket-ball ! 


Yes! foot and base and common 
hall, 
Are all right in their place; 
In winter we ¢an even stand 
A snowball in our face; 
But none can take the place just 
now 
Of—Basket-ball ! 


—The Sun Dial. 


_ There is no doubt about it, 
basket-ball is certainly eclipsing 
the other halls at A. S.C. at the 
present. Excitement has been 
running high all week in anticipa- 
tion of the game played off this 
afternoon. The Seniors and 
Juniors were primed for the fray 
and eager to be at each other’s

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. 
for after a girl has in any way 
had any work to do on, or dealings 
with the Executive Committee.

the campaign planned by the

the sum of $100,000. before June.

the endowment of the college for 
\the promotion of graduate work

college for an infirmary. 

“That the whole amount be in 
the hands of the treasurer of the 
aesociation by commencement day, 
1917. ; 

“That this action meant some- 
thing more than a formal vote is 
‘evidenced by the fact that the

ithe meeting closed and that at the 
meeting of the alumnae assembly, 
ithe announcement was made that 
a total of $15,000 had been pledged

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

ere gaining the scene of action on 
account of the fatigue of standing 
up on the Decatur car to town. 
All things have a habit of ending, 
though, and the Decatur car was 
considerably lightened when the 
corner was reached where you get 
off for the Auditorium. 

Mr. Johnson handed each girl a 
gaudy slip of paper, which when 
presented with a little dime, 
| bought an ex-quarter ticket. Thus 
entrance was gained. 
rast old~ place was 
filled with innumerable booths and 
people. It 
that we were in time to witness 
the vaudeville, consisting of ‘*Ha- 
wWalian Singers’’ and a little ‘‘ath- 
letie daneer,’’ Petite Hazelle. 
(Students of French IT translated 
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

was the miniature pecan nursery | 


of the Florida paper-shells. The 
Ford motor on an Alabama truck, 
and the Chevrolet were also among

At last the Tech band made its! 


presence known by a stirring tune. 


This was the beginning of the af-| 
ternoon session proper, devoted to} 


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 
Seott, My Agnes Seott,’” and—to 
the accompaniment of Tech’s yells 


—‘Tlottentot."" The ‘‘extras’ 
then walked back, leaving the 


members of the Glee Club to sing 
“Kentucky Babe.’* Thus ended 
our part of the program and we 
departed for new worlds of 
movies, leaving the Land Show to 
the mereies of Elizabeth Mather 
and Tech. 


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?”’ 

The Mandolin Club, under the 
versatile Mr. Tom Sims (who 
“seemed to do just everything’? as 
one youthful and ‘‘impression-

reached her audience the minute 
she started to speak. She touched 
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. 


Delightful Lecture

This gentleman be-

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.

THE AGONISTIC 


Contributors’ Column 


“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 
somethin’ over her head so’s her 
screams couldn't, be heard, but 


get a sudden move on us and re-| ocean voyage would be beneficial. bless Pat, she never made no effort 


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

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 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.

WHAT THE Y. W.C. A. DOES | join and act as if you belonged by 


Red Cross Classes!! 


As a great humane and patriotic 
institution devoted to the mitiga- 
tion of suffering for the sake of 
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 
may learn to become more efficient 
in times of crisis and more deei- 


|attending the instruction classes 
under Dr. Sweet and by making 


the movement a success by your 
enthusiasm. It is a very little 
thing: your part in this, and yet 
it may mean a very great deal to 


|some one person of whom you do 


sive in moments of uneertainty. | 
Regina Pinkston and Bess Ham 


are at the head of the movement 
and any information concerning it 


may be gotten from them, Dr. 
Sweet is to conduct the classes 
concerning which you may find 


out anything you wish from the 
above girls. Bess MceConnel has 
the pins which are 25 cents apiece, 
and you may become a member of 
the American Red Cross Associa- 
tion by sending $1.00 to the Na- 
tional Board of the American Red 
Cross Association at Washington 
through Regina or Bess Ham. 
The movement needs your earn- 
est co-operation to make it success- 
ful. It is not enough to pay a 
quarter for a Red Cross pin or 
$1.00 for membership and_ stick 
your pin in your best pin-cushion 
to rust and the fact of vour mem- 
bership in a remote corner of your 
brain which has no communication 
with the ACTING lobe. of

and it may mean even 
more to our country if the time 
should come when it shall need

Mr. Alvin director of the

with one mighty yell from the 
Glee Club of *‘We Thank You.’ 

After the concert the Seniors, 
before mentioned as fluttering and 


excited, entertained the visitors in 
the lobby of Rebekah Scott. The 
reception was said to have been 


enjoved so far as it went but it 
was brought to an untimely end

4 On ‘Wednesday, February the 
twenty-first, an unusual privilege 
was afforded the class in psychol- 


ogy five. Accompanied by Mr. 
Turner they attended a_ c¢linie 


mheeting at the Crippled Children’s 
Home in Decatur. As maty 
you know, this home is kept up 
by the Masons of Atlanta and a 


splendid work is being done there. |

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- 
ed the pleasure of having many 
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- 
ruary 24th, beginning at eight- 
thirty.

Tau Alpha Mcmbers Elected 


Impressive Ceremony 


| 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

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS ! 


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.

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

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,

CLOSING EXERCISES OF YE 
OLD COUNTRY SCHOOL 


In Miss Reichenbach’s Recitation 
Room, Tuesday Night, 
Nine P. M. 


“Ye pupils are asked to dress 
as befits ye children of ye third 
and fourth grades.”’ 


Miss Louise Ash, Miss Isabel 
Dew. and Miss Sarah Webster, 
who have been conducting the 


school this winter held very profit- 
able and very entertaining closing 
exercises this week. The children 
showed splendid results of their 
thorough training, and were a 
credit to their able teachers. The 
school patrons, Miss Parry, Miss 
McKinney, and Miss Lucie tReich- 
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 
Lamb,’’ was suited well to their 
fresh young voices. Katherine 
Lindamood, who gives promise of 
having a very good voice. histed 
the tune of the class. 
song, some prize compositions 
were read. One on ‘‘My Cat,’’ by 
Amelia Alexander, was very much 
applauded; and a very sympa- 
thetie little composition on ‘‘ Ani- 
mals’’ was read by another little 
girl. Katherine Simpson recited 
**Little Miss Muffet’? with much 
dramatic ability. 

The bell for recess interrupted 
the program, and the children

‘filed into the play ground (day 
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- 
cess, such as “Go In and Out Your 
Windows,”’ ‘*Blind Man’s Buff’’ 
and *‘Many, Many Stars,’’ the pa- 
trons and teachers joining in the 
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) 
some amusement caused on the} 
Senior side lines. The ball looked) 
as if it had caught some white) 
hair—we are not sure, perhaps it

the owner was not injured. 


Excitement ran high during the | 
ithe chapel and the V 


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. 
IIere’s to her, and may she long 
play basket-ball!

much credit for the quality of

the year show that they have been 
making an effort. and so far their 
efforts have been realized. It has 
proved itself one of our most 
profitable college organizations 
and, as such, it should be patron- 
ized, So we can’t afford to miss 
the play on next Saturday even- 
ing, because it promises to be a 
very entertaining one. The ad- 
mission will be only twenty-five 
cents, so. let’s all come out and 
show our appreciation of the work 
that the Dramatic Club is doing. 


CONCERT BY OUR GLEE CLUB. 
(Coneluded from page 1) 


Annie Silverman, was almost 
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- 
versal was greeted quite as en- 
thusiastically as that of Tech’s.

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

Play Very 


Last, ‘Satu deh the eure

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

boast of nothing better than ‘‘ Dan-

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 
Harlowe (Dorothy Thigpen). The

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

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.

been woefully small lately. Of 
course, we do not-want you to go

‘‘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-

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.

on our yard which was several|

spring to know what she was talk-

car with a lady who teaches Eng- 
lish, last Thursday, and she looked 
}so happy that I thought she must 
be going to meet someone of the 
little minister’s type.

toward her, [ asked expectantly: 


Miss Mary Dudley was the

The program announced such

n Friday the reg ecting 
of the Dramatic Club was held. 
Much interest was centered in the 
admission to the club of eight new 
members. They were received in 
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. 

Miss Annie Silverman gave an 
enjoyable reading, ‘‘Tlow Jenny

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

a territory about the size of Geor- 
|gia—then we have the Balkan 
question, *” 

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. 

June 28, 1914, at Sarajevo, the 
capital of an Austrian province, 
the Archduke of Austria and his 
wife were murdered by a fanatic

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 
as any troops ever did. Red 
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 


more members of the chapter who 
are taking just as active an inter-

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

GENIUS BURNS. 
The Maids of B. O. Z. 


Ilave you ever seen. a genius at 
work? Told your’ breath and 
come with me. 1 will show you— 
not one—but six real, live ones, 
working in their native haunt, 
radiating inspiration with every 
breath. This is a rare oppor- 
tunity. for the lamp of genius 
only burns intermittently about 
every two weeks, and the hours 
after 9:00 p. m. are most con- 
ducive to its flame. 

Just before that magic hour,— 
perhaps you have noticed it—cer- 
tain otherwise not exceptional 
citizens of our college world may 
be found biting the end of a pen- 
sil, begging for an appropriate 
asking if 
*? will rhyme with ‘‘again?”’

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, 
it takes time for the Spirit to 
grow in the hearts of girls—that 
Spirit that is great enough to 
break over all seeming walls and 
bring “A real friendship bétwétn 
all the girls of a community. But 
it did come, 

**One night when the association 


had been im that town for four 
years, I was there again. The 
cirls were having a mecting. 


_ More than a hundred of them were 
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, 

“<Tt’s a great crowd, isn’t it?’ 
I said enthusiastically ‘to the 
clever girl who helped run one of 
the banks.

‘“And in my heart a song of 
thanksgiving went out to the

the girls who live in towns the 
Spirit which is unselfish enough’

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 
poems by Lenau)— 
Appassionato. 
Laighetto. 
Appassionato molto. 
3. Ornstein-Suite Russe, op. 12— 
Doumka. 
Extase. 
Danse Burlesque. 
Melancolie. 
Chanson Pathetique.

“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

feel that he was prepared to go

“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-

in consequence,

the world in order to meet the}! 
exorbitant demands upon her lim- 
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.

Do you-get that.air? If yeu 
were at the Faculty Play last Sat- 
urday night you would have been 
singing it ever since. The play 
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- 
pecially good. Miss Harrison as 
dear little Ceeily,’’ and Mrs. 
Parry as ‘‘Gwendoline Fairfax’’ 
played together excellently in the

ment.tangle. 
erstwhile pr ofessor of Bible, play-

ceited English youth with real

played splendidly by capable 
actors. 

The plot of the play was rather 
complicated, making it very 
amusing in some of the absurd 
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?”’

cial procession, Laurie Caldwell 
introduced Mrs. Deickmann, the 
president of the Alumnae Associ- 
ation. Mrs. Deickmann outlined 
the plans for us and gave an en- 
thusiastic talk about the arrange- 
ments in hand, Louise Ware then 
discussed the financial side of the 
question, This was followed by a 
talk by Gjertrud Amundsen. She 
talked to us from the stand- 
point of individual giving. These 
speeches gave us all our practical 
information and then Emma Jones 
gave a very rousing spirit talk 
which stirred wp all the necessary

On the whole it was a very en-

outcome of it. Don’t we know

ELISE CURRELL’S RECITAL. 

A most enjoyable concert was 
the piano recital of Miss Elise

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? 
“Little Willie”? story. Little Wil-

child, spoiled, disobedient, nndis-

KIND FRIENDS— 

Kind friends, as a rest for you 
and of course, as a ‘‘breathing 
moment’** for ourselves, we an- 
nounce that there will be no issue 
of the ‘‘Agonistic’’ next week. 
“The Germans’? have nothing to 
do with this state of affairs. We 
lay the blame entirely on Spring 
Holidays. 

If we might make an awfully 
wise remark, we should say that 
you would prefer much more those 
““Spring Holidays’’ to any old

and after all those mysterious 
whispers from members of the 
Junior class, and after Emma 


Jones nearly collapsing from brain

members of the faculty appearing 
in wrong clothes—is there any 
wonder ‘that the whole college 
turned out on Saturday night to 


crowd the chapel for the far- 
famed ‘‘Junior Show?” 
Part II, a photo drama, ‘‘The 


Foundling Heiress or Lady Clare 
Vere de Vere,’’ preceded Part I. 
Ti was an all-star cast. featuring 
especially Emma Jones. Julia 
Walker, and ITlallie Alexander. 
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?

FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1917. 
PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS! 


NEEDED: A LITTLE MORE 
CARE, 


Recently, we have allowed our- 
selves to get very careless, indeed, 
eans which are used for 
nae paper. As you know,

may not get mixed with

r combings, banana peel-| 
cans, etc. 
re two good reasons why 
should be more careful about| 

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?

There is not a single department 


in Y. W. C. A. that doesn’t believe

progressivéness, if it be in the 
right direction, so Y. W..C. A, has 


its programme of preparedness as

wide-awake movements. More- 
over, we have a glorious purpose 
in our making ready, it is a bigger, 
better Y. W. C. A. for 1917-18! 
The past week has meant a great 
deal along this line. In the first 
place. the newly-elected cabine 
members have made a most impor- 
tant trip, bringing back with them 
enthusiasm, spirit and practical 
plans. On Pool Briday the oa

air craft has been found more use- 


ful for purposes of obseryation, 
and reconnoitering, than of actual 


fighting, though, of course, it is 
used in the latter way also. She 


closely described and explained 
the different types: the aeroplanes, 
among these the monoplanes, and 
biplanes, that is, those with one 
and two planes, respectively; the 


sausage balloons, Zeppelins, and 
dirigibles, and the principles on 


which these operate. The balloon 
can carry more men, but is more 
unwieldly and easily injured than 
the aeroplane. The warring na- 
tions on both sides have large num- 
bers of this style of fighting ap- 
paratus, and the output has in- 
creased enormously since the be- 
ginning of the war. On the con- 
sary the United States has com- 


air “craft. Miss Cady explained 
the battleships, armored cruisers, 
torpedo boat destroyers, and sub- 
marines, and what constitutes the 
equipment of each. These form 
an important and practically in-

Y. W. C. A. count as a great unit | 
and each one of us as a true repre- 
sentative of it if we will remember 
what Samille Lowe told us about 
feeling and willing and try to 
practice it. For if we just will to 
work for Y. W. C. A. and let our 
feelings help us to carry out this 
will, there isn’t any telling what 
we may accomplish in 1917-18 and 
the years to come. 

Y. W. C. A. this year has been | 
so unusually effective, vet having 
all the time to try out new sys- 
tems and patch up weak spots, 
nevertheless doing the work in 
hand so well that it is an incentive 
to make us work harder and 
harder even to be on a par and 
much more to reach a further 
point of development. Still we

will! 


“WAR IN THE AIR AND ON 
THE SEA.’’ 

Found: One disadvantage about 
spring holidays! We won’t have 
a lecture by Miss Cady. This re- 
cent series of weekly lectures on 
‘the war has been one of the most 
| worthwhile, and generally looked- 
forward-to features of our college 
program. Last Friday night the 
subject Miss Cady offered us was 
‘*War In the Air and on the Sea.”’ 

One of the most unique and in- 
teresting sides of the present war 
is the use of air and sea craft. 
This is, of course, the first war in 
whieh the phase of fighting in the

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

She fixed her right eye on the ceil-

TEA FOR MRS, COLEMAN. 

Last Thursday afternoon Mrs.} 
Coleman, who was formerly Miss 
Gude, a member of the faculty, 
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 
cakes were served. The occasion 
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 
Gude’? when she was teaching 
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

was God Himself; He was equal

| 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 
serve him night and day in His| 


The atonement gives us 
a victory over death; it introduces 
us to Heaven, where the Lamb 
shall meet us and keep us. 

And we must also realize what 
Tlis death means to.you and to me. 
It means the forgiveness of all ee 
sins. To call our God father; 
| he forgiven through the blood of 
Jesus; to know that everything 
has been blotted out. and that we 
are accepted and pardoned, Can 
there be anything better than this? 
Then His death means assurance 
of salvation to us. It means, too.

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.

Better housing conditions will re- 
sult from the single tax. 

As land inereases in fertility 
and productivity, the land owner 
increases the rent and the tenan‘ 
farmer still continues to 
only a bare living. The single tax 
is set forth by Henry George in 
his book, ‘ ‘Progr ess and Poverty,’ 
and is having a wide influence. 
It is destined to have a still wider 
influence.

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-|

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!

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

The committees of the different

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

service, it means great responsi-|

Scott is not going to be very

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

would give their thought and un

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- ' 
now we have on ha eash!if pos 2 aR

spring holidays netted $3. Mad- Goods si ae oe

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

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 
for the operas, Boris Godunoff, 
and Francesca da Rimini. These 
seats are worth $4.00, but will be 
sold for $3.50. 


RECITAL CHANGED. 


The date of the vocal recital of 
Miss Rosa Lee Monroe has been 
changed to Monday night, April 
16, at 8:30 o’clock. Everybody 
is cordially invited to attend.

ing buncoed out of a free pre- 
seription, and he said: 

“Such a man, my friend, ought 
to consult a good physician.’’ 

“Thanks, doetor,’’ said the suf- 
ferer, as he took his leave. 
“Mhat’s what I'll do, then.”’—

A. 8. C. GLEE CLUB STARS AT 
THE AUDITORIUM 


Fifteen Rahs for Their Splendid Program and 
Great Success 


The Agnes Scott Glee Club ap- 
peared last Friday evening, upon 
the ‘‘eollege night’? program of 
the Alkahest Lyceum, sharing 
the evening’s entertainment with 
Tech and Shorter colleges. Lit- 
tle Miss Catherine Cunningham, 
the sponsor, attired in a saucy lit- 
tle white ruffled frock and carry- 
ing a big purple pennant, intro- 
duced Agnes Scott to the public. 
The Glee Club then appeared and 
sang the ‘‘Star-Spangled Ban- 
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 
loyally and showed that they were 
The Glee 
Club felt very discouraged, how- 
ever, to see, after all the hard 
work of the year and the efforts 


jinade for Agnes Scott, that such 


a very few of the faculty were 
present, especially when so many 
of them hold Lyceum tickets. 
The musie department and the 
Glee Club labor under the dis- 
tressing handicap of lack of sup- 
port from the faculty, although 
we have and appreciate a few 
staunch friends among them, 
Some few of the faculty have to 
eriticise the Glee Club, and yet 
do not attend its concerts and 
give it a chance to. vindicate it- 
self. The Glee Club doesn’t 
mind criticism, but it wants and 
deserves support when it does 


everything in its power 
good of Agnes Scott. 
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 
is to be represented upon some 
program in Atlanta or there is op-| 
portunity for advertising to be 
done, it is the Glee Club that fre- 


for the 


quently prepares something. At, 
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) 
he offered to the publie and as 
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.

ties.

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.

CALL TO ARMS! 


Scott! 


Last week each of the classes re- 
ceived little. white eards 
flags painted on them and the in- 
seription : 

“‘Trregulars Issue Proclamation 
for Conscription ! 

The war department of the Ir- 
regular Class hereby orders all 
citizens of Agnes Scott to enlist 
in the services of defending our 
community against. the unjustifi- 
able ravages of the despot, Bore- 


dom. Reerniting station, Gym 
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 
them and they were again out- 
side; for, in spite of the advanced 


spent several years of his life in 
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 
|for if a man is physically disabled 


the rest of the male members of 


the group support him, or they 


support his wife and children in) 
case of his death, until they are 
Every- 


capable of self-support. 
one in the Aretie regions is self- 
supporting until he 


tribe supports him. Dr. Ruskin 
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 
‘attain any high degree of civili- 
|zation in those extremely cold re- 
| gions where it is many degrees be-

One of the most 
his account of his rescue of four 
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. 


RECITAL OF MISS MONROE. 

Miss Rosa Lee Monroe, soprano, 
assisted by Miss Maggie Tucker, 
contralto, gave a most delightful 


recital on last Monday. night. 
Miss Elizabeth Lawrence and 
Professor Maclean accompanied 


these skilled singers. 
roe’s clear, sweet soprano voice 
displayed to the highest degree, 
its excellent range. The voice of 
Miss Tucker was also at its very

At this juncture it was an-

other march and the line was re- 
swung around the

COMPLICATOR ‘‘THE PICNIC’’ 

On Saturday afternoon the 
Complicator Club entertained the 
Bull Dog and Sigma Delta. Phi 
Clubs with a delightful picnic tea 
at that place-of-all-good-times, Ice 
Cream Springs. The picnickers| 
went out about five o’clock and 
came back by moonlight. John 
Davis preceded the guests with 
several mysterious-looking jugs, 
which rattled with a fluid that 
sounded strangely unlike pure 
water. When the crowd reached 
the spring they chased flowers, 
plucking huge bunches of them. 
Lois Eve found a_ particularly 
beautiful corsage. Among other 
lovely flowers found, Elizabeth 


Denman found two beautiful bird

The White girl gave one scream | 


and laughed the remainder of| 
dinner. Honestly those two were 


seven feet if they were an inch, 
and it was perfectly killing to 
see them ‘‘forward bend’’ and 
slide the tureens along the table. 
The housekeeper,

“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 
College. He is a Baptist, but this

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- 
dred-point men are not found ev- 
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. |

point man,”’

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

Heroine—Respectable, impover- 
ished, but singularly handsome 
Agony—R. E. Porter. 

Time—This week. 

Place—Atlanta Auditorium. 

Synopsis—With eriticism. 

This was quite the most inter- 
esting of all the week’s attrac- 
tions, so much so that a fuller re- 
/port will be given than has hith- 
erto been afforded any other of 
the better known productions. The 
excellent part about this is, how- 
ever, that it occurs every. year 
| during grand opera season, so that 
;/more may participate in it next 
| time. 

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. 
fin. ‘‘Get out of those one-fifty 
seats.’? Another pilgrimage in 
which heroine is preceeded by vil- 
lain, given a seat behind the sight 
line, orchestra playing feelingly, 


‘*The Blindness of Osevera.’’? End 
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 
seat within sight line. Villain in- 
terferes. Enter Hero, sees maiden 
in distress, sends Villain away, 
and allows Heroine to sit comfort- 


ably in the coveted seat. Quiet; | 
Heroine’s eyes suddenly light 
upon vacant seat below. ‘‘L’ 


Envie’’ (Desire) is movingly, but 
internally, rendered. Enter Hero. 
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,

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.’’

Topics in Brief, 


The Nation. 
In favor of selective conserip-

stressed that such a process alone

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. 


THE BULL DOGS ENTERTAIN 
AT EAST LAKE. 

On Thursday morning, the Bull 
Dogs entertained the Complicat- 
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.”’ 


(Concluded from page 1) 
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.

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

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)

greeted the guests sat down on the 
beds and engaged in the usual 
society banter. (The occasion 
was a very formal one). 

After a delightful evening Miss 


Grier served soup with toast, 
sausage and candy. 
Among those present were 


Misses Alice Norman, Elizabeth 
Dimmock and Elma Wimberly. 
Another voice (or two) was de- 
tected through the transom. 

At ten the hostess and her guest 
stood at the door in their receiving 
line and gave a parting hand- 
shake to the merry guests. All 
proclaimed the affair the most en- 
joyable of the season. 


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.

HIS EXPLANATION. 

“There will have to be new

notice,’’ said the hello girl in the 
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.’” 

**Oh, that’s all right,’’ was his 
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.

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.

dependable and conscientious 
Board, but also an advisory body 
which by its originality can add 
much to the inspiration and work 
of the Association. To have a 
strong Association in any college 
the Association must boast of a 
strong Advisory Board. The Cabi- 
net knowing this has been careful 
to select those members of the col- 
lege community whom they 
thought would give their most un- 
selfish and untiring efforts to the 


interests of the Association. The (Goneludad: on Gua) 
Cabinet and whole Association ras, Trimmed with wings, flowers, ornaments and 
welcomes the new board and 


thanks it in advanee for the effort 
and unselfish service which we 
know will be forthcoming. 

The members of the new board 
are: 

Dr. F. TH. Gaines. 

Miss Nanette Hopkins. 

Dr. J. R. MeCain. 

Miss Mary E. Markley. 

Miss Gertrude York.

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. 

After the play is over I guess 
we'll have a breathing spell—at

The lining, to be sure, doesn’t add service,

The silk in the lining of our suits is not an

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.

have been permitted anywhere. 
The worker looks to his success 
not from numerical strength, but 
from intellectual and moral 
growth. In order to speak of la- 
bor advancement we should think 
of what we have overcome. The 
Christian religion teaches that he 
is one of a people. He has some 
ambitions other people have. He 
is not different from other people.

him and his those things which 
take for progress, for more hap-

aspirations and love of country 
as others. Only through his labor 
is he able to attain these hopes— 
he has no revenue to draw on. 
Through eollective binding he 
hopes to attain those things he de- 
sires. His organization deals ex-

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

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

as a whole, this seems to be a

up well the reputation of the 
paper. 

THREE CHEERS FOR THE 
NEW STAFF! !

All the Details of Her Last and 
Most Important Affair 
Procured. 


Because of her extreme popu- 
larity and of the many hours con- 
sumed by her in varied and im- 
portant interests, Miss Senior 
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

Friday, May 11, 1917. 
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!! 


ALL JOIN!! 


Emergency Work. 


‘‘Naturally we are eager to 
stand by our country in this 
emergency, just as our brothers 
and men friends are doing and the

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 
in order that the whole college 
may know, the Agonistic wishes 
to publish the names of some of 
the leaders at least: 

Miss Katy Boyd George, Stu-

Miss Ruth Muir, of San Anto-

which are ‘‘Much Ado About

groundless.

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.

Sunday and Monday. 

One of the lovely guests for the

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.

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.

Mr. Wilson, who now has a place 


not a theoretical miner. He is an 
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- |
