Wllam Jennngs Bryan lectured n Lewston a week ago and spoke to the students brefly al noon. Hs address was " : subject that Is approprate here at Bates where so much stress s ps I upon effectve publc speakng and doubly mpressve when lng from a mn who s known nl over the cvlzed world as ; m or and statesman. The students bad I n lookng forward for some tme to the leetnre In Cty Hall and were agreeably surprsed when Presdent Chase announced n chapel that Mr. Bryan would appear n the chapel at l o'clock. Nearly every able boded student was on hand at tlnt hour " greet one of the upperclassmen wth cheers as he appeared on the platform wth a Btand. Boon after tlw speaker appeared wth Presdent Chase and Mr. Boauleu. The applause was long and fervent. After the short ntroductory words of the Presdent, Mr. Bryan quelled the nose ns soon as possble tn remark that be notced they had cheered the one who preceded hm and that they must remember there was one n come after hm, wth the water..lust then n came another Senor wth n ptcher of water and a glass. He dd m take advantage of hs opportunty for applause, however, but left hs burden on the organst's bench. The address seemed short, yet t was nearlv two o'clock before classes were begun. Mr. Bryan attempted no rhetorcal flghts whch so often pose as oratory, le merely talked to the man and woman. le dd not rase hs voce, yet everyone heard, le dd not enthuse only c e when hs tone hardened and hs whole body became tense as he urged the need of publc speakers to offset a subsdzed press, vet the nterest dd no! lag once. The topc was vastly dfferent from that whch most hal e.\ ted, an.i was only very brefly preceded by remarks on the great place of the small college n producng educated men and women anl gvng tone am element whch the larger unversty cannot gve. He also outlned hs subject of the evenng, the three fundamental relatons of man. to the government under whch In- lves, to socety of whch le s a part and to Col, ks Creator. In commentng on woman suffrage he sad that the natonal stuaton was most favorable anl that Mane would have suffrage for tll, even f the outsde world had to force t upon her. la Introducng hs topc, he declared Unt he always used water on the stage, even though le undent 1 l t was condem I as a had practce. le further stated that h' would stop dong so when he had the advce from anyone who had more experence than he hmself had obta I n hs ::; years of publc lfe. Orators may be born and not made, but just lke most people, beng born may he most necessary, lmt t. s only a small part of sac,-ess. An orator should know hs subject thoroughly; he convnced that t s somethng that people should know and then he wll have, the necessary earnestness to make hs words effectve. :o c mght he lelned us the sp h of one wdo understands hs subject and feels that t should be spoken. These are the fundamentals whch are most essental to effectve publc speakng. There are other ads, however, that may assst \ n obtanng a hearng. These are clearness of statement, brevty and concseness, llustratons from coma lfe and the summne up of the whole theme s one vtal queston. The truth s self evdent, merely brng t out clearly. Proverbs an.i epgrams are excellent. Use lttle Manager Ooogns of the Muscal Clubs n s that the usual Massa chusetts trp of the clubs wll not be taken. le has made all efforts to secure the dates and apparently had arranged a trp. Later, however, can collatons came n from so many places that t s ed best ant to attempt to go out of the state. The war eondl ons Were gven a- the reason why most of the concerts eollbl not be held. The clubs make ther ntal appear anee at Lsbon Palls next Wednesday evenng and bd far to have a fne program. After that the next trp wll start about New Year's, 'fle dates are not defntely arranged a- yet because the manager wshes to secure cm ts at a few more towns. Ths trp wll take n Sanford, Waterboro, Gorham, Portland and Bddeford and probably one or two other places. EvTegot atons are also under way wth Bangeley, Phllps, strong and Parmngton. If suffcent concerts can be secured, the clubs wll take n those towns m lately after he frst. agagements are over. To make up for the loss of the long Massachusetts ourney, there s a poss blty of a trp through central Mane n the Bprng. Ths wll depend on con dtolls at college tt that tme. The students wll have an opportunty! to hear the clubs n Lewston at Cty Hall some tme n January. The exact date wll be announced later. There s an doubt but that the combned clubs wll have a lne program. We have already prnted the makeup of the clubs.

SWEDISH SYSTEM GIVES WAV TO GERMAN IN GIRLS' GYMNASIUM WORK LATTER INCLUDES INDIAN CLUB AND WAND DRILLS The plans for the grls' gymnasum work durng the wnter ate somewhat dfferent from those of past years. The Swedsh system of gym nastes, whch las always been used at Hates, lavs -real emphass m the correctve effects nt' floor drll and carefully supervsed apparatus work. Mss Nles s plannng to supplement ths system by the German method. Indan club practce and wand drlls wll hereafter be a part of the regular gymnasum work. Each class wll specalze n some one thng ths wnter: the Preshmen wll work on folk dancng: the Junors wll have wand drlls, and the Senors wll be traned n the use of Indan clubs. The gymnasum s alto-ether too small for tns veal's classes, and so t s mpossble to have as much marchng as s desrable; but the Sophomore class, whch s the smallest, s gong to pay specal attenton to mltary marchng. In order that the other tn classes may have loom to Spread out over the tloor. t s planned to dvde them nto two so.- lons, each of whch wll narch for leu mnutes at the begnnng of the perod. M s worthy of note that the tl drll for all the classes s pra d e: II v dentcal wth the settng up exercses whch are n use n the army. In addton to the regular gymnasum tranng, there wll shortly be organzed two classes normal work, one for Sophomores, and one for Junors and Senors. Twelve Sophomores have al ready sgned up for ths course. The purpose of the work s to prepare grls to teach physcal t n hj< b -. hools, and to enable them to at once to do BOCal servce work. Several of the grls are already teachng at tn- w. C. A. Besdes the classes n normal work, there are several grls who are takng specal correctve work. The department s serously handcappod, however, by the lack of specal correctve apparatus: grls wth curvature of the spne, for example, should have specal exercses whch are not now possble. The shower baths connected wth the gymnasum have long been a source of vexaton to everyone who has tred III use them. The Athletc Assocaton has the money on hand tor some new- ones. and the new showers are to be nstalled n the near future. The frst of the seres of ndoor -.-. the volley ball fnals, wll be played on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. The volley ball practce las I n unusually enthusastc ths year: the I'leshlnen, es pecally. have shown great nterest and -kll, and promse to gve the Junors a g 1 fght.

We leave the student wth essentally the.-am- polcy lmt was bequeathed us by the class of H'17. We beleve that the experence of the laal two years has justfed the pt f a weekl) ncwspape and t month magazne. We have at tempted to enlarge the scope of the pa per somewhat and make t less of a rec- ord of ancent hstory. Much more can and. we trust, wll le done to ths end. The neu edto- by ther cxpere wth us have a concrete dea of the problems that requre ncreased effort on ther part. We venture to menton two way! n whch the subscrbers can help n the mprovement of the paper. To have a BU nsful magazne secton, the artcles must be suppled wth wl»a and read wth nterest. It las.oo the dffcult task of the lterary edtor to -ec-et artclea f the materal that are both ntereatng and contan some ltea. t. I.aek of propel materal has been a great handcap n the carryng out of a polcy that would per hapa ncrease the Interest n tht a/.e. There appears to be a lack of nterest among those who have creatve ablty n the Held of lterature. The ceaseless efof the lterary edto and her assstants to obtan the desred manuscrpts have not l n suffcently rewarded. Ths s not due to the lack of students who ran produce such Stores and com postons, we frmly beleve. There s no reason why there should not be desrable materal always at hand on the desk Of the edtor. The students owe the use of ther talents to the college and the paper. Next year there" should be more response to request! for artcles. Do not say I lull you have no ablty. Wrte frst nnd submt the artcle. Even then the practce nnd the feelng of satsfacton of a duty well done should le ample reward. The publshng of your handwork s added glory.

Any shortcomng! we feel are due to lack of sutleet co-operaton. Gve the next board more asaatance and ncrease the value and nterest of the Student.

"Quack' 1 was a member of the Glee Club and chor, a football letter man. an actve member of the Deutscher Veren and a V. M. C. A. commttee charman. Tho the loss of these men n college actvtes wll be great, the greater loss wll be n the hearts of ther many frends. Of course when the call comes we wouldn't have them do otherwse, but l s hard to see the hoys go just t he same. ROGER WILLIAMS HALL TO HAVE PARTY FRIDAY EVENING Roger Wllam- Hall s once more to have a party. On Frday evenng of ths week, the men of that hall wll entertan ther frends from the other sol' of the campus. The exact nature of tn 1 party s more or less of a - ret, ut somewhat elaborate preparatons have been n progress for some tme. All the genus of the presdent of the Hall Assocaton, all the mechancal n genuty of the assstant n the Depart n em of Physcs, and all the apparatus at the Command of the Chef engneer of the Hale- College Heatng Plant have been elllp loved ll behalf of the party. The lnger Wllams Hall party was nsttuted some years ago. and t was thought at that tme that l would become an annual event. Last year, t WSJ planned to gve the parly as usual, but t was postponed untl a tme when so many of the occupants of the hall had left for the agrcultural front that t was mpossble to have a party. Ths Vear, however, the custom wll be re vved, n the hope that t wll herone an establshed one.

It has been the hope of the club to brng some speakers on such topcs to the college and an fl'ort wll be made to secure a promnent legslator to ntroduce some new dea- of how our government s really conducted, especally n such a tme as ths. At the meetng "f the club ths evenng, the Presdent wll have at hand for dstrbuton scone lterature on the Sngle lax whch has been suppled through th' kndness am Ihought fulness of Professor Tubbs.

"Lut. yn say t s too dealst e; t s askng too much of human nature to be cheerful when natons ;1 re beng mr dered, to smle when our brothers and frends are taken from us nto the servce of our country; and I answer you n the words of Brownng: " Mll, but a man's reach should exceed hs grasp. or what 's a Heaven fur."
