Page 4 SOCIETY NOTES PHILOM ATM EANS EX PLAIN CUSTOMS TO MEMBERS For the benefit of the new mem bers, a Philomathean program was given Friday evening, Sept 29. The first number, a brief history of the society, by Annabel Thompson, was byway of an introduction to the new members and as a reminder of the old ones. Marie Beaman gave an instructive talk on Philomathe an customs, thus bringing to light some of the unwritten laws by which Philomatheans abide. The musical number for the even ing was both interesting and infor mational, acquainting the newmem bers with origin and past record of the organization. The place of the literary society in the college was then discussed by Vera Farlowe, who pointed out the various advantages and opportunities offered in a literary society. I A piano solo, "The Sheperd's Tale," by Nevin, played by Luna Taylor, while the final number of the program was the Philomathean call, given by all the members. The society received into member ship at this time, Lalah Hassel, An nie Mae Fowler, Mary Ragsdale, Margaret Armfield and Alma Stu art. ZATASIANS DISCUSS LITERARY SOCIETIES A discussion of the work of a literary society was the feature of the Zatasian program for Friday ev ening, Sept. 29. Nellie Allen gave a short history of the Zatasian so ciety, concluding with some prac tical suggestions for society workers. Viola Tuttle then gave an instrumen tal solo. This was followed by an instructive paper explaining what a year of society work may mean, by Eva Holder. She told of the many opportunities and benefits a society offers, dividing them into two classes, the mental and tlie social. Ruth Lev ering read a humorous selection from O. Henry, "The Romance of a Busy Broker.'' Plierlie Mae Siske closed the program with a still more ludi erous number, "The Way to Happi Three girls, Frankie Lohr, Edith Spencer and Hazel Coltrane were re ceived into membership. BONUS BILL SUBJECT OF WEBSTER IAN DEBATE The feature of the Websterian pro gram at their meeting on Sept. 29, was the debate on the question: Resolved: that President Harding was justified in not signing the bonus bill. Tne negative, Smith and Wi mon, won the judges' decision. They argued that the economic rehabili tation of the veterans was necessary for the welfare of the nation, and that Harding bad made a purely politi cal issue when he vetoed the bonus bill. The affirmative, Nereus English, and Howell, gave a creditable account of themselves, centering their argu ments around the economic condition of the U. S. at the present time. Gorrel discussed a number of cur rent events, while George Crisp con tributed the humorous element of the program, with a number entitled, "Whispered Words." The society was glad to welcome Ernest Macon as an active member. H. L. Macon, critic, gave a con structive critque, after which the so ciety adjourned. HENRY CLAYS ARGUE CHILD LABOR QUESTION New students and old Henry Clays joined in a mutual appreciation of the variety of talent displayed in the program Friday evening. Humor in appealing forms, sati ric, farcial and clever, was created and handled skillfully by James Joyce. Benbow Merriman interpret ed Dvorak's "Humoresque" in a pleasing violin solo. The final fea ture of the program, the speeches from visitors, was no less enjoyed. The question for debate, Resolved: that the child labor law should be re enacted in the United States, was by Russel Branson and Marvin Shore for the affirmative. The fact that at present there is 110 protection afford ed children from working in mines and factories under the federal law, or by the constitution was a strong point for the affimative. The nega tive, represented by J. G. Frazier and Allison White, won the decisions of the judges by granting the need of an amendment of the constitution and a child labor law, but proving the inadequacy of the former law based on taxation of a business em ploying child labor.
