Later on. Miss Albright plans to have a few social meetings in the evenings for those interested. So far ten students have enrolled for the subject. Each Friday, every stu dent will hand in a list of six friends whom she wants to visit the class the following week. The list of names will be posted on the bulletin board to inform the visitors of their invita tions. They will either take part in the discussions or observe the pro gram presented that week. The class will study the origin of parliamentary law, the qualities necessary to a good officer, the duties of various officers, methods of car rying on business in all sorts of meet ings, rules of proposing amendments, and writing constitutions.

From time to time, debates and panel dis cussions will be })resented. The text book which is being used as reference is Robert’s Rules of Order. The other new course is Interna tional Relations which is being taught by Mr. Kennedy on Monday, Wednes day, and Friday. The course is open only to juniors and seniors. Stu dents taking it will study trade, treaties, and international laws. Mr. Kennedy says that the study of in ternational trade is very important because without the trade not much could he done. Without treaties among the nations trade could not be carried on in an orderly way. With out international laws any nation would be apt to infringe on the rights of another. The class will study all financial matters in connection with trade and commerce. On Mondays and Wednes days, Mr. Kennedy will give lectures and on Fridays, quizzes. Guest of Book Tea Group Speaks On Subject of Japan Mrs. IJoyd Withers was guest speaker at the meeting of the Book Tea grouj) of the Spectator Club, which was held on Friday, February 4, at 4 o’clock, at the Day Student Building. Her subject was Japan. Mrs. Withers gave a delightful ac count of her recent visit to Japan. She told something of the country itself, emphasizing its beauty, and continued with an account of the Japanese people and customs. The listeners were impressed with her description of the Japanese peo ple as a cultured, educated, polite race, with a deep love of beauty. Other interesting points brought out were the honesty of the people, and their charming hospitality, as illus trated by Mrs. Withers’ visit to a Japanese home. She exhibited sev eral beautfiul Japanese articles which she brought back to America with her. At the close of the program a social hour was enjoyed. Untermeyer To Talk Here Famous Poet, Critic, And Editor Will Appear Here On Night of March 23 Louis Untermeyer, well - known poet, critic, editor, and lecturer of New York, will speak to Queens- Chicora students on March 23, at an evening lecture. He will appear un der the auspices of the English de partment. Born on October 1, 1885, in New York City, Untermeyer obtained er ratic schooling; he likes to boast that he was the least educated writer in America. He attended DeWitt Clinton High School, but his failure to com})rehend the essentials of geometry prevented him from grad uating, and the halls of colleges were unknown to him until he became an occasional lecturer. In youth his one ambition was to be a composer. At sixteen he appeared as a semi-profes sional pianist; at seventeen he entered his father’s jewelry manufacturing establishment. For nearly twenty years he com muted to Newark, New Jersey, being advanced from designer to factory manager and vice-president. In 1923 he retired and, after two years of study abroad, returned to America to devote himself entirely to litera ture. In 1938 he achieved a life-long desire, acquiring a farm, a trout- stream, and half a mountain of sugar- maples in the Adirondacks, where he lives when he is not traveling and lecturing. It is evident that Untermeyer’s work is divided into four kind: his poetry, his parodies, his translations, and his critical prose. A few of the best known are: “Challenge,” “Roast Leviathan,” “Collected Parodies,” “Yesterday and Today,” and “Se lected Poems and Parodies.” Besides being the author of these and numer ous other volumes, he, as an editor, furnished introduction to some dozen other works. Fie is undoubtedly a valuable contribution to modern lit erary culture.
