.. 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.

-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 :

ed from $87,800,000 in January 1910
;ed' to $77,600,000 in January of this

I $323,600,000, which has been increased
daring the past 7 months?
th- op to Jauuarv 1911 to $443,700,000.
'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

"The corn crop is one of the most sit

These annual concerts have reach- yt

flu i ilium
Instead of thinking of rejecting
le Arizona constitution Congress
liould investigate the New Mexico
onstitation. There is qo doubt
bat honest methods prevailed in
Irixona, ami although the ideas
dopted a<e somewhat radical regarding
the reoall of judges, yet
rith the fe<leral judges virtually
aking sides with the corporations
he people of Arizona cannot be
lamed for attempting to prevent
ishonest judges from continuing in
ffioe. ?? ? ? There
are very serious charges be>g
made about the corruption and
le improper influeno?s that were
sed to secure the adoption of the
institution of New Mexico. With
lull Andrews, late of Pennsylvania,
iadtng the gang that is runutng
lings almost anrthing is possible:
t is safe to sav that as bad as the
trritonal government has been, oonitiona
will be far worse with stateood
under tbe domination of the aoklled
Republicans, and there will
e oorrnption and scandals that will
isgraoe the State if it la admitted
nder those conditions
