Saturday, May 20, 1933. THE S AL E MIT E Page Three. MISS MICKEY SPEAKS ON VISUAL AIDS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) and blackboard diagrams were next discussed. Bulletin boards and post ers must be well-organized and at tractive in order to have any value. Bulletin boards may be made inex pensively by using burlap. Good student-made posters are hard to get. (Jood ones should, therefore, be saved. Charts are very important. Many companies offer charts free, while others charge quite a bit. A teacher without funds can easily make excellent charts on window shades. Blackboard diagrams are good if done in colored chalk. Field trips are good if they are organized. Individual gardens, boxes, and sand tables are also desirable, 'riiere arc many types of collections. These collections may be placed in mounting boxes, may be mounted on corks, may be kept in dry bottles, in formaldehyde, or may be stuffed. Apparatus, although usually quite expensive, is helpful as a visual aid. Miss Mickey explained and illus trated the use of microscopes and slides, slide projectors, picture pro jectors—still and moving, small and plain lantern projectors, and m 'liines. Slides may be made on plain or ground glass. A translex screen of gelatincd paper is used with the still picture projector. Miss Mickey closed by saying that visual aids are plentiful and a teachcr can spend on them as h or as little as she pleases. QUEER A few days ago, several girls trip ped gaily up to the local stock mar ket to find out just what it was all about and how it worked. We were duly instructed as to the meaning of tlie abbreviations and figures of the flashes which were chasing each un adorned other across the screen. Some s the same ones came back un altered but usually there was a change in the fractions of the figures. This procession of stocks and their market values interested me, as a lockrr-on in the game, not so much in a financial way as in a personal I could not help thinking that the almost unintelligible procession be fore me was like a train of thoughts, thoughts so powerful that each unit of its being held the thoughts and ac tions of thousands of people ir clutches. Those magnetic units have 'e men hopeful, desolate, philan- thropicol, and utterly mean and 'cnary. The men who have been directly affected by these changing, 'ifeless symbols have in turn affected the lives of shall we say ten as a minimum number of people ? Queer. To jump back to 1929 is almost like going back to days of Babylonian splendor; to think of the nearly in comprehensible change that has oc curred within the last three years is to believe in unbelievable fairy tales with unhappy endings. There are many forces that mould the lives of men; the stock market is not proper ly one of them. Queer. It must be that it is the elements of hope and curiosity that have made men cling on, awaiting the next tiny change before going out to buy a yacht or to jump in the water that was to float the yacht. There’s a peculiar fascination about those rapidly changing digits. There is a cruel force behind them, and yet, if I had the money. I, to( would be waiting for the next chang( with my heart in my throat, a moi tuary notice in one hand and a check in the other. Queer. Seniors Are the Guests of the Juniors at Tea Sketches of Salem Are Given To The Honor Guests On Monday afternoon from fiv seven-thirty, the Junior class en tertained the Senior class at tea a the Forsyth County Club. During the aft-rnoon musie was provided by Fletcher Duggin’s Orchestra. The ball room and the porch were at disposal of the guests. Refreshments were frozen fruit salad, chicken salad and cream cheese sandwiches, punch, mints, and salted nuts. To each guest was given a shoulder corsag and a sketch “A Salem Doorway by one of the local artists, Williar Pfohl. Dr. and Mrs. Rondthaler, Miss Lawrence, Miss Riggan, Miss Mi Anally and Miss Fuller were special guests. r killed, Nobody’s ever whipped, or down flat busted, or out until he saj's so himself and be lieves it. —Ray Norton. . all you could ask for! ^ust two words... Yes, I have heard about two words; and now and then three words—but "They Sat isfy” means "To gratify fully.” Why do these two words "they satisfy” fit Chester fields? Because Chesterfield Cigarettes are milder. Be cause Chesterfield Cigarettes taste better. Chesterfield’s way of blend ing and cross-blending fine Turkish and Domestic tobac cos brings out better flavor and aroma.

F'lowers, President of the North Carolina Association of Magicians delighted a much too small audience at a magie sliow. Dr. IHowers per formed card tricks which put us all in a frenzy. He also unfolded a news paper wliich had been torn in shreds —and it was whole. Here is the best one—after Margaret Wall had literally pasted adhesive tape over the magician’s eyes and had on top of that placed a paper and a hand kerchief, Dr. Flowers walked non- (lialantly around tlie room and idi'n- tified any object placed before him. That is a true story. Several other small tricks completed his perform- BOOK REVIEWS “LETTERS TO WOMEN ’ Joseph Aiislander Mr. Auslander’s fine quality as a lyric poet is clearly shown in these ing and original letters to women ) have appealed to his imagina- !. 'i’he poems have unquestionable lity, and are full of insight. The er to Amy Lowell especially is admirable in its understanding, and in I he sympathy with which it treats the habits and environment of that rcTiiarkable ])0( I and woman. ^Ir. Au.slander says of his letters: “I could talk tcnderlv and proudly to Sapi)ho. I could fed with Lot’s wife, understanding the saltv nceessitv of her decision.' I could hav(- it'out with Fanny lirowne. I could hold vivid converse with the mischievous and dazzling imj), F.mily Dickinson; I could tell that lovely little child- wifr of Kdgar Poe what nobody has thought of telling her.” Besides h'‘.sc women, he has written letters 1) La Du,se, Eli nor WvHc, and, of ■ourse, to Amv I .owell. 'I’herc are,‘ho wevcr, some objec- ii n.ahlc features . Sentences run on inl on; there are many of over IfO words, one ■ monster of 2fi.3. I'herc are alnio; i’)ore,s and imag St too manv meta- :es.

THE SHELTERED LIFE William II. Long reviewing for 'he Archive, sa_vs that when two Oi-cnin.sl Sunday hook review su])- vvspapers o the r devot their may b;' ,',ure that book is outstanding.

Only the irony is old.” 'I'he novel is a study of the shelter ed life. The lives, thoughts, and actions of a young girl, a woman, and •111 old man over a period of nine years arc woven into a tragic pat tern by the author. Her characteriza tions are excellent. Placing the seine in the small city of Queens- horough, Virginia, Miss Glasgow again portrays the life about her— which is lu‘r own—critically and with insight into human motive and ac tion. Her beauty of prose style al ways makes her novels rich, and this is ]iarticularly true of the Sheltered Life, whose value, says one reviewer, will be even more appreciated ten years hence. I
