FALL DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY PRESENTED "Come Out of the Kitchen" Attended

by Large Audience.

The play "Come < >ut <>i" the Kitchen"' was presented by the S. X. S. Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss Edna X. Spear. Friday eve iting, November 17. at 8:30. The performance was attended by a large audience and was one more success for the Dramatic Chili to add to italready lengthy chain.

The scene of the play was laid in a colonial home "t" Virginia shortly before the Civil War. The Dangerfields were an old family whose resources had become very low. Colonel and Mrs. Dangerfield were in Europe, where the Colonel was t" undergo a very serious operation. The children had been left at home to manage finances a> besl the) could. In order to raise money they decided to rent the old home to a northern gentleman during the hunting season.

One of the northerner's particular requirements was that during his stay the house should he run by while servants entirely.

Just as tin- young Dandernelds were ready to leave for their aunts they received the news that their staff of of white servants had failed to arrive. They decided t<Âť take the part of the servants themselves and their lips and downs for the next two or three da\s were charmingly portrayed.

Many misunderstandings sprung up. hut things [Continued on page 6.]

The following expression from Dean Page of the University of Virginia was intended for the "Jarman Number of the Rotunda" hut reached the publishers too late to he included in that issue.

"1 cannot write just as I would like to about my friend. President J. 1,. Jarman. for fear of being accused of exaggeration. Bui to my mind it is impossible for anyone to know him. even superficially, without recognizing the sterling traits upon which his success is founded.

His utter sincerity is immediately apparent; and the older I become the more I reverence sincerity in anyone.

His simple and transparent honesty is so obvious that he is the despair of the trickster or liar. Endowed by nature with a Strong intellect, his ambition to he a scholar was early aroused; and in achieving the object of his ambition he overcame obstacles which would have been insurmountable to most young men.

To the great good fortune of the State and of the country, he decided to dedicate his life to the advancement of education; and he has already accomplished work in that held which will endure.

Hundreds, and probably thousands, of the most useful women in the State look hack to the day when they met President Jarman as the day in which they began to learn something of the real meaning of life: namely, that life is a precious opportunity for service.

May he he granted long life and strength to carry forward his great work.

HERFF JONES COMPANY WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE METHODS OF TEACHING? The Montessori Method of Learning.

The labors <>l Montessori have aroused an unusual interest among Americans. For some time her theories and practices have been a frequent subject for investigation and discussion in meeting of teachers and parents.

Madam Montessori is the assistant physician at the Psychetric Clinic of the University of koine. Some 15 years ago she became interested in defectives. She learned of the Sequin method lor education of idiots. Prom this and from personal experiences in the education of the feebleminded, came the suggestion of using her method with the normal child.

Madam Montessori has lectured in America and has a school of her own where she puts into practice her methods. Certain assets of the system are in themselves striking and significant.

It is based on a radical conception of liberty for

tin' pupil.

The Montessori Method is making the child wait on himself; in this way teaching him while young t<> do the things through practice which will come- into bis life afterwards. Education as development, the doctrine of liberty, the ade<[tiac\ of self expression, exercises of a practical life, and a sense training are the facts that are

stressed in the Montessori Method.

We have in review the principal features of the Montessori Theory and practice. Good points and had have appeared, but her preparation for the school art should prove helpful. Her greatest service lies prohahlv in the emphasis on

You have heard the response of our present membership in regard to finance. Now listen to this. Our Alumnae have responded equally as well. The contributions so far amount to $27.50.

The spirit which the Alumnae have shown by their letters is very encouraging. They have expressed their interesl in the work of the Y. \Y. (.'.

THE ROTUNDA, NOVEMBER 25, 1922 With the application of a little cold water, how-' ever, We were soon ready for further duty, and j with much gusto swung for a fine, long drive.

Thud! And approximately a quart of dirt went sailing over the unscathed hall. We scrutinized the caddies sharply to see whether or not they grinned at our mishap. They did not; they were too bored. We will skip detailed description of the ensuing events. We will ring down the asbestos curtain and allow soft, sad music to agitate the atmosphere instead. Suffice that we made six attempts in the regulation manner to move the hall, and at last succeeded in budging it only by taking the club between our knees a la croquet and pushing it off. (At this stage of the game our temperature would have caused a thermometer to burst with a loud explosion at a distance of fifty yards.) In the next four hours we played three holes, principally by the overhand method, i. e. hy picking up and hurling the ball with immense force and vim. We perspired at every known pore and at a few that we invented ourselves. Our instructor was a mental and spiritual wreck; the caddies snored gently.

And there was the ball, resting quite comfortably on the soft grass and leering evilly up at us.

Saddest of all, we could not vouchsafe a single remark to relieve our feelings for fear of spontaneous combustion. We returned quickly to the club house and drank four coca-colas in rapid succession. By that time we had recovered sufficiently to he able to swear by the beard of the prophet and as many other time-honored epithets as we could remember, never more to clasp a golf club.

For the next two daws we seethed. The famCONSERVATORY OF MUSIC ily breath was hated; the family step resembled that of a "burglar walking on eggs." At the end Affiliated with the S. N. S. since 1907 of that time, we began to long to learn to play Gives modern instruction in l'iano and Vocal golf if only for the pleasure of marring the sleek Theory, Harmony, Aesthetics, &c. face of that grinning, malevolent ball. W'e reAt reasonable tuition rates turned to the links. Practically the same experience was ours, except that this time we tore up SO much turf on the green that a look of awe appeared on the face of even the bored caddy. W'e went out on two ensuing occasions. A tier that the PHOTOGRAPHER family intimated that life under such conditions OVER GARLAND & UcINTOSH was not worth living, and that either they or we OPEN ONLY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY must leave. Prom a combination of rage and SPECIAL PRICKS TO S. X. S. STUDENTS pity, we departed hence, secretly relieved to at last be quit of a place where there was .something we could not do and could not refrain from doing.

COME TO From that day to this, our thoughts have been troubled, our mind is unable to attain its pristine freedom from care. Be warned, all ye who FOR contemplate taking up golf, and don't do it. for GOOD THINGS TO EAT golf fever is far, far more virulent and horrible m its effect than that of any other variety, yea. verily even unto the bay species.

FAN FUMES We were an unprotected visitor in a Strange country, and accordingly, when invited out to play golf, we accepted with alacrity, flattered hy this show of popularity. To the imitation was added a DOSl script, however, consisting of the

■tatemenl that we were to accept only on condition that we did not object to losing our peace ol mind. This remark, though, we attributed to merely the regulation golf hnmor tainted with jealousy at beholding our new sport suit. Consequently, we were neither stopped nor stayed in our resolution to learn jjolf.

The day of promise dawned. With an illustrated Sunday supplement as guide, we adorned OUrself in BUch a way as to make the lilies of the field flush with ragC at comparison, and sallied forth. We arrived at the club house and graciously accepted a bag full of clubs I which iliumdiatelv made several ungrateful attempts to destroy our soundness of limh). Having watched our instructor tee up and drive off in perfect form, we condescendingly took a club which the languid caddy reluctantly offered. Hut the club was badly proportioned, or something ol the sort, and in unwieldincss succeeded in almost slaying us hy a swift backward lunge to the head.
