4 GREENSBORO SECRETARY SPEAKS AT Y. W. C. A. Miss Evelyn White Describes Asso ciation Work in the City—Girls Subscribe $25.00. The girls were glad to have Miss Evelyn White, general secretary of the City Association work in Greens boro, at the last meeting. Miss White first spoke of the or ganization of the city work—how it consists of the employed staff and volunteer workers. She emphasized the facts that the work is not char itable, but philanthropic, that it is not first of all slum or rescue work but preventive and like all such in stitutions should not be self-support ing. The speaker divided the work into ten departments and spoke briefly 011 eac department in the following or der: Educational, religious work, social, physical, recreation, indus trial, employment, travelers' aid, boarding home, girls' work. Speaking of the educational work she sai 1 that the Association wa.i not just for working girls who had scarcely any advantages, but that the Association tries to meet the de mands of all the women in the city— for instance, the Association offers classes in Spanish, French ani music. Miss White said that the religious work is done principally through Bi ble study; but that it had been found that practical demonstration in the gymnasium and social work means more in influencing the life of girls. The purpose of the Association is then to develop girls and women physically, mentally and spiritually. Miss White gave as the requisites of a good secretary, refinement, tact, a sense of humor, the Association spirit and above all a knowledge of Christ as her personal Savior. The Guilford College Association with the help of Dr. Newlin has con tributed $25.00 to the Y. W r . C. A. building fund for Greensboro. J. H. BEESOX LEADS Y. M. C. A. "Four Reasons For (lie Christian Life." In the Y. M. C. A. meeting held last Thursday night J. 11. Beeson gave four fundamental reasons why every one should be a Christian. First, "we cannot escape it" for no matter where a person goes he cannot entirely get away from it, or in short "society has destined that we become Christians." The second reason was that "it embodies the best of life." No one can be a Christian unless he renders to God his very best services. A third reason for '.lie living of this great life is "its influence upon men has been seen." Wherever Christianity abides reforms of vari ous kinds are introduced. Each man helps his neighbor to live a straight, upright life. Last of all, "one should be a Chris tian just for the good it does him." "No one can be a self-made man" because the course one pursues must and does affect the lives of those around him. In other words "we are heirs of ages of Christian influence" and consequently each one helps to mould the character of his fellow man. Mr. Clifford Phillips spent the week end here, the guest of his brother. GUILFORD SCORES SIGNAL SUCCESS (Continued from first page) ful theory but we are here to face facts, not theory." This attitude was maintained by both of Guilford's representatives in the rejoinders and the political dangers inherent in the federalization of the railways were made perfectly obvious by Valentine and Newlin. Valentine kept the audience laughing and applauding during his entire rejoinder. His quaint and tremendously effective at tack on the plan of the affirmative was overwhelming. The rebuttal offered by the affirm ative was comprehensive but some what lacking in effectiveness. D. Kerr Scott made an eloquent appeal centering his attack on the theory of the negative that public control would destroy individual initiative. The stronger rebuttal was made by D. S. Coltrane, however, who made a terrific effort to disestablish the entrenched arguments of the Quak ers. He reiterated the contention that the plan proposed by the affirmative was free from the objections urged by the negative, but the doubt as to the expediency and equity of the pro posed plan had been so well estab lished by the negative that the judges rendered their decision in fa vor of the Guilford representatives. The judges for the evening were the Right Ilonorables W. P. Bynum, E. D. Broadhurst and G. S. Brad shaw, all of the Greensboro bar. The alternates in the debate were Robert Frazier for Guilford and S. Schenck Cline for A. & M. After the announcement of the decision by Professor W. C. Jackson, Dean of the Normal College, and president of the debate, a reception was extended to the visitors. The Normal College orchestra furnished the music for the occasion and the many other services rendered by the Normal authorities were powerful factors in making the event a nota ble one. Certainly the gratitude of Guilford and A. & M. Colleges is due the State Normal. A large numiber of Guilford Alum ni were present for the debate, easily the largest number of Alumni col lected since the last 'annual meeting. They were not disappointed, either, at the outcome and a larger number should be present next year to give their support to the Quaker repre sentatives in the coming forensic contests. CLAYS DEBATE WOMAN SUF FRAGE. At the regular meting of the Henry Clay Society Friday night the question for debate was: Resolved, That the women of the United States should have equal suffrage with men Messrs. Fox, Braxton and Moore ad vanced the affirmative, while Messrs. Townsend, Dough ton and Hussey de tended the negative. The judges ren dered their decision in favor of the affirmative Mr. Gentry then gave an interesting reading entitled "A Little More Time." COMMUNITY SINGING SATURDAY NIGHT.

After having played Davidson on the Statesville floor and spending Saturday as hosts of Statesville and tlie Statesville Female College, the Crimson and Gray quintette, on Sat urday evening suffered a greater de feat than on the previous evening at tlie hands of the strong and fast Statesville Athletic Club aggregation to the tune of 26 to 52. The States ville team was entirely too strong for the small Guilford five, however the game was more exciting and thrill ing than the score might indicate. The locals had a decided advantage over Guilford in the first half, the score standing 15 to 22. In the beginning of the second frame the Crimson and Gray team seemed to find themselves and due to a sudden spurt, tied the score, pock eting seven points before the locals were aware of the 'fact. However the Statesvyille five awaking to the situ ation, started an outburst which re sulted in twelve field goals before Guilford could check the onslaught. Statesville exhibited good defen sive as well as offensive work. Hold en. Statesville's stellar forward, reg istered thirteen field goals. He was able to pocket goals at any time, seemingly, from any position on the floor. Massey, Guilford's sturdy guard, played a good game, cover ing practically the entire floor. Also Smith played stellar ball, while Jones did some very clever passing. Guilford. Position. Statesville.
