1^3 A. F. JOHNSON. EDITOR AND VOL. XLI. ADDRESS AT COLLEC TWENTY FIRST ANNIVERSAR AKD MIDWINTER CONCERT W ?7 The Neithean arid Sea Gift S cletles Celebrate Their Twe tyFlrstAnnlversary?Addre .. by Prof- F. C. Brown The Neithean and Sea Gift Litera Societies of Lobisburg College celebn ed their twenty-tirst anniversary F day evening Feb. 24th. The use large Louisburg audience with mai out of town visitors gathered to he the speaker, Dr F. C. Brbwn, of tl Chair of English in Trinity College. T college chapel was beautifully decoi ted in white and gold, Neithean, a blue and garnet, Sea Gift coloia. anc mingling of the Louisburg and Trini pennants. The officers of the Societies took th< places on the platform followed by t speaker accompanied by the presiden of the two societies. After an inBtr mental solo by Miss Brinson, Miss Mi tie Martin, Neithean, with a grace ai dignity all her own, introduced E Brown. Coming from Trinity, Lou burg's larger, but not e der sister, E Brown, of course did not surprise 1 audience with an address filled wi sound thought and expressed in t choicest and most beautiful English After a few preliminary remarks < the traditions and history of the tow with a tribute to Edwin Fuller, E v Brown announced his subject "Tl j Ideal American Woman of the Futur Her Attributes and her Sphere." ,i course there was the usual hit in t story of Johnny, whose father. w dead. When arked about his fathei last words, Johnny replied, "Ho didr have any, my mother was there." E Brown said while he had the floor I wou d talk about the ladies. First he showed the necessity for tl irfjtal American woman. She is look upon as a model and studied by all t women of Europe, hence she cou combine all the graces. How differe is the Hebrew woman, shrowded as s is in Eastern seclusion, not even alio etf to recognize her own father, hi band or son should she meet them public. Our own fore-fathers, t Teutons regarded their wives a daughters as chattels,' 'while to t Germans they are j et mere posse sions. The French women are by means free, and even in Englai where thev come nearer to our ow there are many differences. Is the future woman to be differe from the present type? Yes. from t) new types. Dayid Graham Pfcilli has said that the curse of the Ame can woman is laziness and extra vagan This is the type whose so e ambition to look pretty, marry rich and spei money. The new wemon was then classifie The masculine,the intellectual doubt* the gregarious, who like the masculi V objects to home, and seeksamusemec elsewhere, and the society woman w ^'rfceds her mind with anything exce the masterpieces of literature, at cajes nothing about making her hor attractive to her husband and chiidre It is evident that the ideal woman not found among the new types. Foremost among the attributes the id* at wnmnn iw health. God pe* calls weaklings Into Sl'IVHW. IhB Ml woman must be free, confident a hopeful, and that means health. The ideal woman must have gracio ahd allurung manners. Here I Brown proved that beauty is depen ent upon health as well as cbaracfi and there is no inheritance more pi cious than the memory of a beauti sincere honorable, true mother. T ideal woman will be educated. W man long ago realized that education a necessity and a serious business a no longer an experiment. Statist; show that women are beginning to t ter every field of work, and in order cope' successfully with the educat man or woman must be educated. Then the American woman is prac cally mistress of her own fate and s has learned that to be happy husba and wife must be equally educated, i uneducated woman cannot be the moi er of an aspiring future race. Tl education ought to result in culture a the cultured woman is a lover of forms of beauty, a lover of art for ai sake and the possessor of a wa heart. ? The ideal woman Is religious,* i fanatically so, but of, the sort tl lacking apace below, builds up hq _*The spiritual forces of Christianity h? given woman all that she has. The fore, she must he a woman of loves, he what she is, the queen or a spleni civilisation upon whom it is encumbv for its maintenance. What shall be her ptaee hi politi. f~ ' HL-''*, .. wf. ?RA> -MANAGER C Here Dr. Brown proved that the ' ^ thing a woman most desires is her own will. The sufTragette iB contending for y her own will and not for a principle of ' sutfrage-jrill make the suffragette more beautiful, by all means let her have it. The ideal womans place in politics is 0- altogether the place of influence. It is ! n a poor woman who can't influence a man to vote in the right way. She 88 should take great interest iu legislation and use her influence there for the best, ry Womans greatest sphere is the home, it- Mau desires to control, but woman to < ri- relieve comfort and console.' She is a lal dreamer and becomes a moral force ay and the mainspring that influences the ar action of man. A man never looses his ' he ideals and never ceases to love Love, i he Therefore if bravery and moral training I a- have left men it is for the lack of nd home training, and the mothers, sisters 1 a and wives are to blame, for as Tcnnyty son has said "Woman's cause is man." ' The mid-winter concert was given at 1 sir the College on Monday night and quite I he a large crowd of people from both in | its and out of town were present to enjov u- the v.ell arranged programme. This it- conce.t was a recital of pupils of Mis- 1 nd ses Willamsand Brimson's music class- 1 lr. es, Miss Dickens elocution class and ! is- Miss Prestons vocal class, and the ren>r. dition of all the programme was such lis as reflected much dredit upon both ! th teachers and pupils This concert is he looked forward to with much interest each year and those who attended Mon i on day night pronounce it one of the best : n, yet given. , he - St- Elmo. e, The production of the above Well ' i# known pla^r at the Opera House in 1 k?

' he Leaves for Apex. e<* Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Johnson left i ja the past week for Apex where they < nt will make their home through the ' he coming summer.

'tis It is also pleasant to record that the ||j| exports of ootton wyring apparel and ootton cloth is also increasing, rm the latter tiaving redoubled durfng - January. As there- is free, trade in lot ootton fabrics, as far as exports are ist concerned, this inorease should open [b the eyes of the protectionists to the ( fact that trade unhampered by tariff to leooyera from depresaion much did quioker than trade on those articles mt which the tariff ia aappoaed to proI uoi end the raw material whiofi ia ait also protected.
