FARMVILLE, VIRGINIA

NEW FIELD FOR DEBATERS Interested Audience Attends First Debate of the Course.

Much interest is being manifested in the course nf debating offered this term in the Department of English under the instruction of Miss t '.race I.. Russell.

Members ol this class could he of greal help in renewing debating contests among the literary societies.

The first formal debate occurred

Monday,

'April 2.\ and was attended by High School classes in history as well as the regular students M>f the course.

The question for debate was "Resolved: That France was justified in occupying the Ruhr Valley. Misses Julia Alexander and Kstelle Bennett argued for the affirmative and Misses Harriet Munoi and Jean West for the negative.

[Miss tdadys Yates occupied the chair with Miss Kinily Calcott acting as time keeper. The question was discussed from a legal, a political, an [economical, and a moral standpoint. The arguments wen put befort tin cla with force and [conviction. The members of the class acting as midges decided in favor of the affirmative.

The subject which was chosen for the debate is HI' particular interest today because of the differences "i opinion which have arisen concerning Prance's presenl occupation of the Ruhr Valley. The Ruhr Valley covers a distance ol about fifteen miles north and south of the Ruhr I River and fifty miles east and west. It has an area of 1.2.^4 square miles. Its importance lies in the fact that it is rich in coal and iron production. It is an exceedingly wealthy section and very desirable. Germany s war indemnity had not been paid and hence France's occupation oi this section.

A PEREGRINATION

DA VIDSON'S

Xow there was a certain Literary Society ol Farmville, Virginia and its name was Argus.

And it had many members, and of these members thirty-five were faithful.

And this Literary Society went up out of the city on to a mountain to rejoice ami make merry.

And the thirty-five faithful members and Mr. I.car and his wife, Mrs. I.car. and Miss Spear, .Miss Peck and .Miss Dietrick were there.

And it came to pass as they were leaving the city, the driver of the truck said, "The mountain is far, and the hour it late. I.rt us go to some other place, that we may return early."

But Mr. I.car spoke and said. "Drive on, <> Rastus, for the mount is scarce a mile but eighteen, and the time is suffidestit."

So the driver went his way, 1 nit his countenance was dark, and he did grumble to himself.

But the members of the Argus sang songs in their joy. and noticed hint not. They sang of Carolina in the Morning and the Sweetheart of the Sigma Cdii. and they sang with exceeding great joy.

And the great Cakott, and Kemp and Parker played upon string instruments, and the mem hers of the Argus said. ''The music is good."

And when the truck was come within threemiles of the mountain. O! it stopped and would not move another inch. Then up spake Miss Spear. "Why delayest thou? l.i't US he On our way. for we are hungry and would eat."

And the driver answered her and said. "Full many an hour must you wait lief(ire eating, for the gas has failed.'* And when the members heard this, they said.

"There hath not been such a timing before!"

And they got <nit of the truck and did walk, all except Mi^s Spear and the six girls who remained with her.

And as they walked they picked many flow ers from the side of the road for the sake of Nature Study.

And four of the members walked ahead of the remaining members, and wlicn these four members were near the mountain they heard a mighty shout, saying. "We arc they who came OUt of your truck, and we have got US a ride. hut the mountain is near and voii can walk."

And it came to pass, when the four members had walked and were come nigh unto the moun tain, they heard a voice saying, "\Yc have walked to the top in seventeen minutes and two sec onds." And the voice was the voice of Mr. hear who had come ahead with the first truckin his good steed automobile.

And then the members of the ArgUS Literary Society did take the food, and prepare a feast in the forest.

And there was much to eat, large rolls shaped like circles, hot-dogs from the simps of Farmville, and small green pickles, SUdl as come out of jars, and mustard, and sandwiches, both ha nana and tomato, marshmallows, bacon and golden bananas.

And the water which they drank was brought in a white bucket from a spring called "Peaceful Valley" by name.

DEBATING AND LITERARY SOCIETIES This week's ROTUNDA contains an account of the lust open debate given in the debating course.

We arc in hopes that tli^ first attempt will be tlu' inspiration tor debates on ;i larger scale, which in turn will prove a means to ;m end.

For sonic time, debating In this institution has been practically dead. So have literarj societies.

Why not revive both, each assisting the other?

Numerous projects for reviving interest in literals societies have been suggested, tried, and allowed to drop. "There arc too many other organizations for real interest in them, is the excuse offered. Nonsense! There is never too much work to prevent active interest in them. < hirs have simpK rusted through lack of UK. We are in a rut. Something is needed for impetus. Why not try inter society or inter-group debates? It can't hinder, and it may help a meat deal.

Mary : "Why, you told me to git familiar with the great oemposers."

Farmville girls have been bobbing their hair at a desperate rate for the last week.

If this continues as it has started what shall we do for a May Queen? Did not all the queens of long ago have long flowing locks? Do not he so sad. perhaps we may he ahle to start something new. Lets dress our queen as one of the wives of King Tut. Let her wear one of those peculiarly shaped head gears. This will hide all the hair that is lacking. She musi wear a straight long dress, covered with varied Egyptian designs.

Barrings the longest to he had. and sandals of a brilliant scarlet. Her maids must he dressed accordingly.

Instead of carrying flower^, they must Bear huge haskets of fruit high over their heads. The queen must rest languidly on a low divan. The minuet as formerly planned would he out of the question. The dance of the "Snakes" would he far more appro] n'iate.

Will you save your hair until after that day. or are VOU going to help out those girls that are going to start a "Barber Shop" in benefit of the Student Building?

LEARN TO LET GO One of the most practical and absolutely truth ful bits of philosophy that has appeared in a long time, was recently published m Medical Talk, on the wisdom of "letting go." Says the writer : If you want to be healthy jnst let go.

Thai little hurt you got from a friend, perhaps il wasn't intended, perhaps it was, but never mind it. Refuse to think about it.

Let go of that feeling of hatred you have for another, the jealousy, the envy, the malice, let go all such thoughts. Sweep them out of your mind, and you will be surprised what a cleaning up and rejuvenating effect it will have upon you, both physically and mentally. Let them all go; you house them at deadly risk.

But the big troubles, the bitter disappointments, the deep wrongs and heart-breaking sorrows, the tragedies of life—what about them?

Why, just let them go, too. Drop them, softly, maybe, but surely. I'ut away all regret and bitterness, and let sorrow be only a softening in-
