LITTLE THOUGHTS
FOR TODAY
“To be true—first to myself
—and just and merciful. To
be kind and faithful in the lit
tle things. To be brave with
the bad; openly grateful for
good; always moderate. To
seek the btst, content with what
I find — placing principles
above persons and rights above
riches. Of fear, none; of pain,
enough to make my joys stand
out; of pity, some; of work, a
plenty; of faith in God and
man, much; of love, all.”
—Leigh Mitchtll Hodges.
The Lenten season is about half
over. Aside from the speeches in
Chapel which have been very in
spiring and helpful there seems to
be no feeling on the campus. There
are a few girls, of course, who arc
sacrificing according to the demand
of their churches; but most of us
are forgetting the meaning of the
period and losing a very precious
experience.
Last year Mr. Gribbin spoke to
the Salem girLs in Y. P. M. about
the significance of Lent and urged
us to makt,’ it mean something in
our own lives. Lent ought to be a
personal experience rather than a"
church one. All of us should at
least remember those events in the
life of Christ that give the period
its significance. Mr. Gribbin sug
gested last year that we follow the
events as they are recorded in the
Gospels. This is a profitable and
inspiring thing to do daily. If you
do not feel called upon to give up
candy or picture shows as an ex
pression of remembrance, then
give a part of your time to the daily
reading. Lent is a particularly good
time to renew Christian fervor be
cause it ends with a week of victory.
We are so inclined to allow our daily
business to crowd out our daily
thankfulness that we slide into hab
its of forg-etfulness and neglect. Lt
us try to make this Lenten period
iiave a real meaning on our campus

Congratulations, Sights and In
sights! We think you picked a
splendid staff.
April Fool’s coming and the Sa
lemite plans to do a little mud sling
ing next week. Better wash up your
slate and hurry up about turning-
over a new leaf. How’s tliat for a
mixed metaphor?
The affirmative won in the “To
bob or not to bob” query agitating
Junior Hall. Personally, we say.
■‘Rah, rah for the shorn Shebas !”
March, coming in like a lion, was
due to go out like a lamb; but it
sure has wind-blown fleece. Trying
to copy the Juniors, we guess.
Chwatcznski—Our Good friend
Fishbein has gone to his everlasting
rest.
Andrzejewski—What! You don’t
mean he really got that government
job!

PERSIAN MISSIONARY TO
VISIT COLLEGE
PERSUASIVE SPEAKING
Sound minded educators tell us
that true education should have a
definite objective for every unit oi
learning which it seeks to obtain
Let us, in the manner of education
students who want to determine fun-
damental values, examine this unit
we suppose that it is a unit, sin_
anything else would not be conduc
ive to real learning—which has been
called “persuasive speaking.” It is
“-t public speaking, or deelamatiim,
oratory, but persuasive speaking
t us now define the objectives of
r unit. Obviously, unless the name
be ironical or intentionally mislead
ing, th • purpose of the unit is to
teach us how to speak persuasively.
Ihere must be some victim destined
for our persuasiveness. Perhaps, it
is to be able to coerce unwilling
ers or friends into acquiescence to
our plans (women do not usually
need any development along th’
line, but the text-book was also ii
tended for men.) Perhaps, it is tu
will action from the lethargic ranks
of mankind to outlaw wrong and es-
tablisli the right. If our education
is effective—and it must be effective
if "mastery” has been attained
(Please consult Morrison, The Prac
tice of Teaching)~-,wc may look for
ward to the introduction of the mil-
lenium within the next five years.
Why the millenium? Our persua
sive speakers diagnose the situation,
analyze the audience, outline the
problem, present a solution, visualize
the results, and call for action; the
unnumbered mass of humanity be
comes dissatisfied with existing con
ditions and accepts the challenge.
What happens.? Worry is abolished,
right is established and Gabriel
blows his trumpet.
There are .several ways of obtain
ing the end—result of being persua
sive. One is by trial and error. We
argue until we' are blue in the face,
if we are successful we try the same
tactics the next time, if we fail, we
attack from another quarter. The
above, however, is not the method
used in our unit, in fact it is quite
futile as was evidenced where earn
est persuasiv'eness was not effective
in proving that one four minute
speech is the same as two two-min-
ute speeches. “Speech,” that is the
word for which we have been look
ing. “Persuasive speeching” would
be much more true to fact than “per-
lasive speaking.” The word
speaking” suggests a comfortable
rm chair before an open fire with
>aie nuts to crack; speech suggests
platform and a glass of water.
Sometimes we are persuasive for five
■ind sometimes for only one.
Sometimes we are persuasive by ex
ercising the voice, at other times we
‘speak with the whole body.” It is
.nueh more convincing to gesture
(we hope this is a verb) with the
riglit liand, thumb straight out, thus
indicate the spot in saying “tliere
■i tlie man” than to trust to the
powers of imagination or observa
tion which the audience may possess.
We have varied imaginations when
become, persuasive and we find
grievances caused by the
world, the flesh, and the devil for
whicli we hold some twenty-odd
college sophomores responsible, and
which we are trying to show in their

Persia, and all that is connected
'ith it, is so far away from the
thinking of the average ])crson that
visit to Salem will be one of
profit to every member of tlie stud
ent body and faculty. Her charm
ing personality and the wide range
of her experience. She is a teacher
of Hebrew literature, Y. W. C. A.
secretary, industrial worker, student
of the League of Nations at Geneva,
inc^ missionary. All these connec-
ions especially enable her to in-
erpret Christian missions.

Why 85% of America’s
leading hospitals
use Kotex absorbent
Proper sanitary care is more
than a matter of personal dain
tiness ... it’s a matter of actual
health protection.
So it’s highly significant that 85%
of America’s leading hospitals selea
Kotex absorbent. ■
Why Kotex is more hygienic
Its amazing absorbency makes Kotex
safer in many ways.
Remember that Cellucotton absor
bent wadding is not cotton—but a cel
lulose substance which performs the
same sanitary funaion with 5 times
■ the absorbency of the finest cotton.
Read the reasons why Cellucotton
makes a superior sanitary pad.
