FORMER ELON STUDENT RE TURNS FROM EUROPEAN TOUR (Continued from Page 1) returned^to M-t. Gilead as foach for the coming year. the Ri^lig'ious. Econon^ic,, Social and I’olitical conditions of the above coiin- tiies. Lectures were given daily on the above countJ'ies. first hand contact with citizens of each nation, including every class, from the peasant farmer in X’nion (Tf Soviet Socialistic Republic to the leading political statesman of Europe. Among the most interesting countries visited was Russia or as it is known today T'. S. S. R. or Union of Soviet S'-ialistic Republic. A country of 850.000,000 s(juare miles with a popula- t.i(-n of approximately 175,000,000, and lir.ving within her border a new econo-i mic and social order that exist nowhere i else on the globe. These 175,000,000 people are all on the same social plane. There is absolutely no class or social distinction. This has been wiped from the land by a ten years of bloody revo,- lution. during which the Czar and his autocratic system of government was overthrown. Private ownership of prop erty is a thing of the past in U. S. S. R. Another important, or the most im- pci'tant event of the entire tour was the World Youth Peace Congress, held at Hrdle, Holland. August 17-29, com posed of 500 delegates representing seme .38 different nations. The Con gress was directel along the lines to promote international jjeace and order among races, nations and classes. Mr. Snow reports the Congress to have been; a oreat success. Mr. Spow was one of the 80 delegates to the Congress froiw the U. S. A French Circle In The Making At Elon Today many tnenibers of tlie t'rench department of Elon College are begin ning to consider seriously the matter of speaking l-^rench. The present out line of the course of study for advanc ed classes seems to jiredicate at least a meager speaking knowlejdge of this subject. Many of u.s have not this knowledge. How can we remedy the situation? Some one has suggested a French circle or club—“ Le Cercle Franeais” which shall meet regularly, shall in clude in its membership any student in the French department, and shall have such ofhcers as president, vice president, secretary, chairman of program cohi- niittee, and preferably the direction o-f the head of thi.-^ department—Prof. Cephas Guillet. In such meetings—attendance upon which is not compulsory—French is to be spoken as much as possible. Such schemes as rejuiring answer to roll call in the form of a simple French sentence or by the reading of an afore prepared sentence, distributed by the Progrant Committee after calling the meeting to order, may be used. ^[any suich groups call for the read ing of the minutes of the i)revious meet ing which are w’ritten in French. As much of the bssiness as possible can be done outside of the meetings, and the Program Committee may profit ably use the remaining time in introduc ing French songs, proverbs, and the French names for the things which we use every day. Hero one would at least learn to speak simple words. For the first few' meetings It might be wise to divide those present into groups and allot them a few' minutes to stay together. During this time they may speak—in French—upon whatever sisbject they prefer. Then these groups come together and new ones are formed, thus proceeding indefinitely in this way. giving each a chance to repeat his few sentences many times and to learn the sentences spoken by those in his groTip. Shell we see if this meets the need or shall we continue to sit down and decry our lack of a speaking knowledge of French? PROFESSOR VELIE STARTS A NEW MUSIC CLASS An interostiii|r course in piano for tlinse wlio liave never liad any previous lessonF!, wa-s aiinounceil in chapel Tues day by Prof. Velie. The class will be limited to ten pupils, and two one-hour lessons a weelc will he given.

Prof. ^'elie guarantees tliat at thu end 01 the year those pursuing the course as outlined will be able to play many of the easier hymn tunes as well as sev eral of the popnlar piano pieces.
