EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Campus Sunday School
Have you been attending Sunday
school this year? If so, have you
not noticed from the reports of the
secretary that our atendance has av
eraged thus far about eighty-five or
ninety people every Sunday? Have
you not noticed also that we have a
group of competent teachers who are
thoroughly interested in their work
and who are prepared to give us
some worthwhile message each Sun
day morning?
There are a good many students
who spend the week-ends away from
the college, but out of a dormitory
group of a hundred girls and an
equal number of boys, we should
surely have more than eighty-five at
the college for the week-end. If
they are here, where are they keep-
ing themselves on Sunday mornings?
A little examination of the situ
ation will show us that the major
ity of these students are in their
rooms because they have not become
sufficiently interested in our Sunday
school to find out just how interest
ing it really is. We think that because
we are a little bit sleepy and tired
on Sunday it will be a fine time
to just stay in bed until time to go
to church. We yield to the temptation
and the next time it is a little easier
to stay, so that quite soon we have
formed a habit of staying away al-
together
Are you one of those who stay at
home? If you are, then you should
consider whether the Sunday school
is worthy of your attendance or not.
Religion ought to be just as impor
tant in our estimation as athletics or
societies or school work. Maybe you
have never really thought about why
you were not a member of Sunday
school. If so, let us remind you
that you should be. There is not one
of us who cannot go if we will only
determine to do so, for we would
probably spend that time uselessly.
The lessons for this quarter taken
from the life of Christ are particu
larly interesting and there is no stud
ent in college who will not profit by
taking advantage' of this oportunity
to study about Christ through the
Sundav school.
Come along, and bring your room
mate with you.
Literary Societies
The new students have now been
at Guilford a month and a half. That
is time enough for them to get accus
tomed to their new surroundings and
acquainted with the opportunities
for development offered by Guilford.
These opportunities are many and
varied. There is one, however, to
which we would like to call their at
tention. That is the opportunity of
fered by the four literary societies.
Every boy should by this time be
either a Clay or a Websterian, and
every girl should have joined either
the Zatasian or Philomathean liter
ary societies.
societies and work actively . If you
fail to do this and d onot prepare
yourself to take an active part in
public life in the future, you must
expect to have a great regret. We
Just what does society work offer
one? It is hard to estimate its pos
sibilities for an earnest worker. We
might, however, enumerate a few.
The art of public speaking is prob
ably the most important and should
be mentioned first. Knowing how
to express oneself successfully is in
valuable in life. Regardless of a
man's store of knowledge and the de
grees he may have attached to his
name, if he is unable to pass on to
his fellow man, he is a failure. It is
in the literary societies that we can
learn the art of expressing ourselves.
If this were all, society work
would be thoroughly worthwhile.
However, there are other important
benefits. One learns to cooperate.
Moreover, one learns the rules of or
der of deliberative bodies. This will
be of much practical value in the fu
ture lives of most college gradua
tes.
It will make very little difference
which society you join so long as
you are in harmony with the spirit
of that society. The thing that does
matter is that you get into one of the
societies.
Ask college graduates who have
been active society members, what
they think of society work. We have
often heard them say that they con
sidered it worth even more to them
than any course they had taken in
college. What has been true for
these will surely hold true for us.
We shall need the training afforded
by literary society work in the future.
Therefore, to those who are not mem
bers of one of the societies, we would
say get in your society and get to
work.
THE GrUILFORDI AN
THE MAGAZINE SHELF
by John Webb Cannon
Since it has been accorded to usj
the honor of reviewing each week |
for the Guilfordian a magazine from
the group of magazines that deserve
our attention, and from general ap- j
pearances, do not get it, let us look
for a moment at the Century.
Now of you want statistics, if you j
want information ready tu use in a
concentrated form, if you want pre
cepts and morals thrust down your!
throat without ceremony, by all
means leave the "Century" alone.
But if you like the gentle art of sug
gestion, if you like to see the human
passions struggle to the last ditch
and then leave you undecided, if you
like to read articles on civic, eco- J
nomic, and social problems that do
not claim to be panaceas, then I
think you can find no more enjoy-1
able thing to digest, than the Cen- j
tury.
The "Dark Ride" in this last issue
is the one of the most puzzling pieces
of English that ever came under my
immediate observation. Interesting]
yes, but what is it? It absolutely
refuses to be classified. Read it, see [
what it is—l'm sure it's not. In this
same number there are two out-;
standing love stories, "Fisher of the
Moon" and the "Kingdom and the
Power and the Glory." The former, j
in spite of the fact that it falls back
on Indian lore for a plot, furnishes
one with a very inetersting side of
that passion which is as old as man.
The latter, I may be wrong in class- j
ifying as a love story but the dom- j
inant forces are, a woman's love and!
God's, with the latter probably hold
ing the minor place.
To those of you who are especi
ally interested in sociology or edu
cation, "Salvaging Civilization," by
G. Stanley Hall, also of the October
issue, will probably be the star ar
ticle. Undoubtedly this and "Has
Germany Changed," by A. W. Ver
non, gave us a lot to think about
along social lines. W. Y. George's
"Death of the Jester" is a very dra
matic picturization of that time in a
man's life when his work is done.
The last pieces 1 wish to call to
your attention in this unmber are
two humorous sketches, one, "Dis
arming the Drama," by Woolcot, and
the last, "Adventures of an Illus
trator," by Joseph Pennell, a Quaker.
