DR. BRUCE SPEAKS
TO BRUCE SOCIETY
STRESSES THE NEED OF REAl.
THINKING ON l*ART OF
AMERICA TODAY
Dr. W. H. Hruce was the principal
ipeaker ut the regular meeting of the
W. II Bruce Scholarship Society on
December 12 at the Mary Arden
bodge. Dr. Bruce will address the
Society each year at Christmas time.
In the talk Dr. Bruce stressed the
need of real thinking on the part of
he American today. "The American
government is strong beesuse it was
founded upon local self-government,
mnetity of the home, and parental
respect.” He mentioned the wise
policy of the government toward Cuba
uml the I'hillipincs and said that
these policies were the product of a
thinking people.
“Effort is being made to increase
the number of thinking people.
There are more people in the colleges
today than ever. Some people say
that it is a fad. If it is a fad society
will suffer. The greatest criticisms
if our colleges tmlay is that they
place too great an emphnsis on the
number in attendance with the result
that the graduates are "ground" out.
Dr Bruee closed his talk with these
remarks, “Don't be n grind, nor u
waster. Be sociable, not gregarious
Mix some "ginger" and “pepper" and
spend some time ill solitude."
In the business meeting that fol-
lowed Mr. I. W. Newton was selected
to represent the local chapter at th*
National Kappa Delta I’i Convention
st Washington, D. C. on February 2(1.
Miss Alyne Key wus chosen as dele-
gutc from llie W. II llruee scholar-
ship Society to the State Scholarship
Convention at Georgetown on Feb-
ruary 22. The progrnni committee
decided to group the members and
study current events for the year.
A very interesting half hour was
spent before adjournment in the dis-
cussion of Christmas customs in other
lands.

ference In temperaure from that
without. The program consisted of
characteristics Christina' plays and
customs of Mexico.
Birdie Brcnholtz presided and wm
to him who could not grusp the Span-
ish language, because everything was
given in Spunish. The progrum wus
divided into two classes: religious and
popular.
The members of the faculty were

costume, represented the Spanish ma-
tron. Mr. Eoff was dressed in u
Charro suit.

Spanish h.v Alyne Key. A replica of
the scene was made in a sand-table

tin- three kings, the wise men. guided
by a large silver star, and many
typical objects mude in Mexico.
Paul Taliaferro and Sum Wilks en-
acted the scene at the inn-door be-
tween Joseph und the inn-keeper.
Then the students sang the Christ-
inas song "Silent Night, Holy Night"
in Spanish.

Then a most interesting Mexican
custom was observed. The students

large hags covered with colored
paper, hanging from the roof of the
pergola. One of the students was
i blindfolded and after several at-
| tempts uml misses, hit the sack,
bursting it nnd emptying upon the
: floor a deluge of smull sacks of candy
land nuts. This sack is called the

In order to provide foi this utility the

Scout's motto: "He Prepared."
Someone proposed that they tell
jokes and everyone immediately ii'
1 siinied a spirit of revelry and thought
of their best rib-ticklers. After the
supply of jokes wus exhausted, Com-
mie Allen guve the history of the
American flag and the respect due
it. The Girl Scouts huve charge of the
raising und lowering of the school
flag each morning and evening, and
each day the flag is raised and lower-
ed with fitting ceremony und patriot-
ism. With these various talks mixed
in with Scout sungs, the girls find
that the time soon passes and the
hour of their bed-time has arrived.
The dismissal was in the form of
“Taps" sung by the scouts
"1 am well satisfied with the last
term’s work and we ure very enthus-
iasm1 about the work we arc just be-

The Blair home, a three story house
located at 1505 West Hickory, on the
corner of Hickory street and Avenue
B, was almost totally destroyed by
fire of an unknown origin Sunday
morning between 2 nnd 3 o'clock.
Four young women students of the
College hoarded ut the residence hut
they hud ull left for home following
the termination of exams on Saturday.
When the fire was discovered, the
fire department wus busy in the north
part of town, so the fire wus well
started before the trucks arrived. Ow-
ing to the good pressure, however, it
was brought under control und finally
extinguished.
The student's possessions thul wen-
left in the house were destroyed, but
some of them had been taken home
for the holidays, and were thus saved
Miss Alina Sewell who is leaching

her parents here.
