Washington's Birthday Celebrated
It was entirely fitting that on
Washington's birthday Dr. Mel
ton Clark should talk to us on
Service, because George Washing
ton so nearly illustrates our con
ception of service.
"There are four conditions
requisite to service, understand
ing first that God gives the life;
favorable conditions for growth,
harmonious environment, pres
sure or force from without for
force or action, and conviction or
power from within for action.
There never were so many avenues
open for heroic service; never so
many calls for men and women.
The opportunity comes through
our free institutions of America,
the home, the school, the shop, the
state, and the church.
"Not many of us will be gover-
LeGture On Palestine
GIVEN BY NORMAN BALDWIN.
A very interesting and instruc
tive stereoptican lecture was giv
en in Memorial Hall on last: Sat
urday evening beginning at 7:30.
The lecture was given by one who
has spent over twenty years in
Palestine, making that his home,
and for that reason was able to
give much inside information, as
it were, and also to give many
characteristics of the natives of
the different sections of that coun
try, especially of the region
around the Dead Sea. The speak
er is a native American, having
been born in this State and for
some time living in Greensboro.
The part of his lecture on the
Bedouin Indians living on the fer
tile, well watered eastern shores
of the Dead Sea was interesting
and instructive. He spoke of their
most striking traits and charac
teristics and of those that are re
vealed only to close friends. "It
is a custom," said the sj>eaker,
"for one to stay three days with
the Bedouins when making them
a 1 visit. No matter upon what
mission one mav go it is alwavs
' ° * •
expected that the visit be for
three days. In serving coffee, of
which the Bedouins are very fond
and the quality of which is very
splendid, the servor will serve
only a small amount if the visitor
is welcome, but when not welcome
the cup is poured full. "The Be
douins are noted for two things,
bravery and hospitality. They
are firm, true friends and very
nors or legislators but the most
important factor in tliis govern
ment is the man or woman at
home who lifts public sentiment
to honor law. The lawless man
fears public sentiment. Prohibi
tion is enforced in some places, in
others it is ridiculed. The differ
ence in conditions is due to the
public sentiment of the commun
ity.
"Ours is a great and glorious
heritage. We are striving after a
clearer truth. Sometimes we find
something that -.night to be chang
ed. We should have sufficient
courage to bring this change
about. We must face our oppor
tunities in the world. George
Washington never heard of social
service but he was interested in
the interest expressed by those
words."
Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Robins, the Methodist pas
tor, spoke to us Thursday evening
He took for his theme "Service.''
After reading a passage of Scrip
ture. The speaker showed that if
young men desire to be successful
in life that they must be sincere,
have a goal and try to reach it.
Above all you must lead a prayer
ful life, and be especially empha
sized that every one should spend
some time each day in prayer.
For in this service you will be
able to get very near your Father.
You should be faithful and en
(lavor to live the Christian life
every day, for our Master does not
rejoice over a hypocrite. Serve
your fellow men, have principles
and stand by them and you will
surely make a success in this life.
We were very glad to have Mr.
Robins with us, and are real sorry
that so few of the fellows came
out.

different sections of the Holy
Land were very choice and were
surely taken by one who knows
and understands that country.

NUMBER 20
PHYSICAL TRAINING
OF OUR NATION
Modern life has completely rev
olutionized the physic-iil welfare
of our nation, changing it from
the rigor and vigor of our pioneer
forefathers to one of practical in
activity, because of the modern
inventions of machinery which are
used exclusively in making our
necessary articles of use. With
this great physical inactivity our
national physique is seriously
threatened with deterioration, and
in order to guard against it lead
ers have studied the problem thor
oughly, and started a campaign of
education to add to our moral
code that "bodily weakness is
crime." It is a fact that bodily
weakness leads to the downfall of
society as either filth or fraud.
•Just as soon as good physique be
comes the fashion and any one
with a weak body is ostracized in
good society as it now ostracizes
those with unclean clothing, the
standard of national physique will
begin to rise.
W. 1\ Bo wen, Professor of Phy
sical Education ;it Michigan State
Normal College, Ypsilanti, Mich.,
whom I am quoting, divides the
methods of bodily improvement
into three groups. The first one
he gives is the pursuit of agricul
ture as an occupation, which is
one of the most healthful and use
ful and is becoming less severe
by the constantly increasing con
veniences for carrying it on. The
second line of activities is that of
active plays and games and out
door recreations. As a nation we
have the reputation of not know
ing how to get real recreation.
There is an abundance of whole
some outdoor games and sports
and the reason they are not prac
tised is because people do not
know how. They may have a spec
tator's knowledge of many games
but the skill that gives pleasure is
lacking.
Gymnastics exercises constitute
a third group which mean certain
definite movements of the body
that have been planned by some
one to accomplish certain pur
poses which may be the cure of
disease, the correction of posture,
the development of certain mus
cles, the acquiring of a certain
kind of skill or simply pleasure.
In them are included the correc
tive and educational movements
of gymnastics, the various forms
of military drill, the heavy ap
