I supposed tlio old hen gave enough milk I’or them.’’ MKETING or ASTKOTEKTON UTEBARY SOCIETY fContinued from page 1) cause the program committee does not recognize the potentialities, and equal ly as often beoauae tho girl refuses to tiso her gifts. It is a happy fortune to find the members of our society so readily responding to the call of aji Impromptu program. No loss worthy of conimendatlDn, was tho program of the following week which was in the nature of a debate. By some, it might be deemed inadvis able to discuss tho question which was under debate for Uie evening—the racial problem. The query waa. Re solved: That there should be racial eauallty, Living as we do in North Carolina It was quite natural that the discussion should talcG a sectional slant. Wo of the South are brought moro ill contact with the negro raco than with other foreigners, conse quently, wo are more interested in that phase of tho (]uestIon. Quite calmly and conventionally the debate ran along for some time, bnt the last speaker on the negative side brought with her specch all of the dynamic qualitiea in her personality. Indeed, she was quite forvont in lier denuncia tion of the proposed plan, placing the most emphasis on the social aspents of the questions. The judges rwidered a unanimous vote for the negative side —a logical and to-be-expected decision. The affirmative, it would seem to the reporter, had moro senDible, real argu ments brought out than did the nega tive aide, but wo are not yet free of prejudice, willing to aubmlt to roason with regard to the negro. That would be the only reason for discouraging the agitation of such a problem—with out a bettor perspective and more com prehensive understanding of the sub ject, yet wo are soon to take our place a» educated women, not only in the outside social world but in a political and governmental world as well and it is encumbent upon us to be better informed and capable of intelligent discusaiou of national and interna tional questions. And It Is to the credit of the Society that our programs are gaining in depth and substance. For January 27, a most delightfiil program was rendered by the musical group. It waa quite fitting at this time, after tho strain of examinationa waa over, to And mental and spiritual exhlliration in music of a high order. Then, too, the paper on music brought to us, in a very effective manner, the viilue of music in our lives. Some of us are not fortnnate enough to bo trained along musical lines, but the most of na are music lovers, with an untaught appreciation of its beauty and infliience. So, tven to us, not speaking of tlie atltled pleasure for our music students, there is a peculiar joy to bo found in the programs of the music group. Eadi number descrvea pspoclal mention, hut lack of apace does not permit that. But we should lilte to comment on the delicate sweet ness and spirituelle quality of Kather ine Shield’s voice. It is of, unusual sweetness and expression. —Reporter.
