THE SUPREME TEST
By FRA"CI5 GORMAN RISSER, Okla., A.
"I'll die for you! " a noble phrase, 'Whenever it is true, But there 's a deeper, stronger note In thi s, "I'll live for you!"
For often it is easier To die a hero's way, Than to go slowly, inch by inch, A littl e every day. To give up life in fire or flood For stranger, kin or friend,
Is great, all praise is due the man That comes to such an end. But to see everything that makes Your share of Ii fe worth while Fade. as the years pass drearily, To toil and al ways smile.
To keep faith in yourself and God When life's a fading dream, To live for others every dayThat is the test supreme!

Later during the w ar, whe n she had occaSIon to ask this gentleman for a recommendation , he took occas ion to remark if she were ri ghtly placed s he woul d head the Treasury Department of the U ni ted States.
The "unimportant facts" of her life , as given me by he rself, are as follow s: Born Oct. 21, 1893 . Di ed after Convention, Jun e, 1927? Graduated fr o m the Unive r s ity of Minnesota 19 15 .

After taking up he r re s idence in Minneapolis again, she became active in city club work, serv ing as Treasurer of Co ll ege Woman 's Club, and as a Department Head of the Woman' s Club. At the present time s he is associated with her hu sba nd, E. Guttersen, in building of "Homes of Character," spec ial iz in g in interior decorating.

Remember wh en Mary hung her s lipper s on the bellcord a nd stopped the train going up to Bilfl\'in and how Jane almost got left at the Portage?
You've just gat: to come! I know all those girls we met from California and Canada are go ing to be there-and think of n e w ones from Kentucky and O hi o \V es leyan and William and Mary. Do YOll rem ember the thrill we had when the Founders ca me into Convention Hall that first morning! And how wonderful Miss Onken was at model initiation?
Whew! I can hardly wait to see all of those chapter ex hibit s and to find out who gets the Balfour Cup, the Song Cup and the Mileage Cup.
No, don't stop to buy a lot of new clothes. Bring something for comfort-this isn' t a sty le show. \-Ve 're out for a good time. Fine! Three cheers, I knew you'd come. I-Iurry up-the whi s tle 's blowing. All aboard! !

This morning ChrisUne nsked us to go down through the vlllage with ber. As we walked along, tlbe bnrefooted w Ollle n In theLr colorful costumes cnme "I) nnd courtcsled belore us nnd then kissed Christine's band. In h e r native wny she remnrked: "Thl'Se peasants have n borrlble wny of rubbing their noses on one's hand , but they have done It for centuries to nil my Rn cestors and I can't stOp them."
We w ere shown the stables with the mnrvelous saddle and race horses, the sRw-ml1l where the wood is cut up for fuel supply for the palace. the gardens. cows and pigs, slaughter houses nnd the laundry. All the acth-itles In the ",llIage rev o l\'e around tile UJlkeep of the castle.
"These people seem .contented In Kruzynll , Christine," we said. "Yes, they nrc," she answered. "They lo\'e us nnd come to mother wl1 h 1111 their troubl es; when there Is sickness she goes to them, and Ull,l'oue of them would lay down bis liCe tor ber. And yet there is n feeling ot unrest. Otten men come through the vlllage and stir the l)Cassots up. But they do not understuml that it they join the movement they ",'-111 i.>e worse orr thou they are now. They do not mC1w what it Is all about. Not long ago I said to one of our stable-boys: 'rt there Is n raid (because tlh e re h:we been many) " ' 1lI you help us or join the other, Jocob?' 'I must join the Communists; be said , 'because we ore told they are good men , they are the ones who take Communion otten!'"
The next atternoon we drove into the forest and tor the first Ume 1 realized whut it meant to be n 'landowner in Pola.nd . Even the Black Forest in <krmany wus not so dense. The s tand of trees wns immense and as we went loto the woods it became blacker and blacker. A Ilunter with n fox o\'er his shoulder l)asscd us, UllCl tar off we could hear the woodchoppers at work ,
We asked Christine what rights the peasants had 10 the forest, and she told us that they are .allOWed to chop out the roots of the trees afier they llaye been felled , saying that a root would burn a iong time in 8 peasant's hut. They are also ullowed to gather the brush under the pLne trees ond pick berries for their tables. She was astonished 'when w e suggested that it might be better to give each one a tract of lund, llnd replied that the peasunts are much better off as thAt are.

PRESIDES OVER GOVERNOR'S MANSION
"The youngest mistress in the traditional political precedent of the executive mansion of Pennsylvania," is the way in which the Philadelphia Public Ledger character izes Mary Fisher, Maryland A, daughter of Governor John S. Fisher.
In writing of Mary Fish er for The Republican Wnmall, Mrs. Sylvia Happer says:
"ENTER Mlsl:t Mary I!'lsher.

''Her engagement has been 8nnounced rece ntly and the marriage - Is to take place sometime next June. Should Miss Fisher's wedding take place In the Executh'c Mansion, as it probably wlll she wUl be the first bride 88 well 8S the youngest hostess.
"Mrs. DUford Pinchot has held this place tor the last tour years. When she came to Harrisburg, she bad bad a wIde experience tn society.

"In direct contrast to this wili be her successor, Miss Fisher, who was born and lived trom oaby.bood, in Indiana, Pennsylvania, which Is a small but progressive town. She was a carefree girl at college, just ready to graduate. when her mother died. Previous to this Ume, she had bad no responsibility, but she came home atter her graduation and took entire charge ot her lather's house, which she has JUanaged tor the last tour years, and ba8 done it well .

Pr Pllrs '" TilE PUBUC EYE
DIRECTOR OF NEAR EAST ORPHANAGE
By FLORENCE MEUDIAN, Editor of Algaia of Phi Mu.
'"Director of the orphanage in the world," is the title just recently relinquished by Inez \Vebster, Illinois who is visiting her mother in Galesburg, Ill., after spending a year as head of the East schoo l and home nea.r Leninaken, Armenia, where she had 6,(X)() refugee children under her care.
The parentless youngsters are the sons and daughters of R LISsian and Armenian folk who were killed in the World \\"ar or massacred in fighting with the Turks. Contributions from America support them and assist the East Relief in teaching them vocational work to make their way in their own land. Miss vVebster was i n complete charge of the home life of the c hildr en, directing their feeding, housing, clothing and discipline.
It was due to Miss Webster's thoro ugh methods that none of
INEZ \-'irEBSTER the children were injured in the lU inoiB!\ and B earthquake la st October that took hundreds of live s in Leninaken and nearby villages. The youngsters were assembled in orderly fashion for their quick march from the old Hussian barracks that provided a home for them. Though 1:>':1.r t 5 of the barracks were demolished by the quakes, not a child was hurt.
Following the quake, after her olVn charges had been arranged for in a tented city near the barracks, !\1iss Webster turned to relief work, and under her direction, the older c hildren worked to assist in lessening the suffer ing in the stricken villages.
Before going to Russian A rmenia , "Miss \V ebster spent two years as the head of a Near East Relief orphanage at Beirut, Syria. She had 800 children under her care there, and not only

loo ked after their housing and feeding, but directed the school in connection with the orphanage as well . A hospital, bakery and farm vocational sc h oo l owed their su ccess to her capable management.
The work both at Beirut and Leninaken was very fa sc inating, Miss Webster says . In Syria there were always interesting places to visit, to re lieve the: occasional monotony of orphanage life. She talks as familiarly of Egypt, Palestine, Aleppo, Damascus and Jeru sa lem as the rest of us might of towns on th e hard road near by. According to Mi ss vVebster, Russia was an interesting place to be because of the unique government experiment that is being carried on there now. \ '1he n she was called home because of her father' s death, the Soviet government accorded Inez \ '1ebster unusual privileges in expediting her exit froin the co untry. A s pecial permit allowed h er to leave by way of Moscow and Leningrad, with a minimum of inconvenience, because of the Soviet appreciation of her efforts at the orphanage. Foreign fields are not the only ones in whi ch Miss Webster has made her unusual capacity for executive management in social service work felt. The Free Kindergarten in her home town of Galesburg first claimed her efforts in this field. Then she did child placing work for the courts there. When the World War came, she was among the first to go to France in Y. M. C. A. canteen service. Later she ass isted in Red Cross clinic work in small towns, returning to the kindergarten at Galesburg as superintendent until she left for Syria.
Having attended both Knox and Lombard, Mi ss Webster is claimed by the Pi Phi chapte r s at both colleges, and one year held the Pi Beta Phi Fellowship. She is as interested an alumna as she was an active member and the Galesburg chapters profit by her decj s io n to remain at home .
DIRECTS NEW PHASE OF CAMP WORK
Many Pi Beta Phis are engaged in the very interesting work of running summer camps for boys and girls. 1\[ost of them, however, cater to the college or high schoo l girl. It is interesting to find that Mrs. Arthur L. Eaton (Lottie E. Burnop, Iowa A), and her hu sba nd. are s upervi sors of camps for younger children as well as those of high school age.
Jolly Acres, a camp for girls, which is under the direct manag.:ment 0 f Mrs. Eaton admits girls from the ages of six to sixteen
In 1923 Mr. and 11 ". Eaton bought an abandoned farm of seventy acres in tht' very heart of the Green Mountains of Vermont, remodeled it and opened a camp for little boys and girls under twelve. Jolly Acres as a co-educational camp for lit-
tle children was a most delightful work but New England does not approve of co-education, so the camp is now being used exclusively for girls.
One of the outsamling requirements of Jolly Acres is that all applicants must present a certificate from a physician stating that she is in average health.
Character and ideals; the development of good sportsman. ship; Christian standards; and how to live with others are things which are particularly stressed by Mrs. Eaton who is making of her camp a real summer home for her girls.
The regular activities enjoyed by most "campers" induding woodcraft, sports, etc., are found in the daily program.

PI PHIS IN THE PUBLIC EYE
AN ENTHUSIASTIC JOURNALIST
Ella Sengenberger, Illinois B, was recently elected president of the Indiana Journalistic Teacher's Advisors' Association at the annual convention of the Indiana High School Press Association.
She is first president of the organization and has bee n busy directing the pioneer work which the Advisors are sponsoring.
Four state committees are at present at work under Miss Sengenberger's direction: one is writing a handbook for publication advisors; one is arranging a course in journalism f o r state consideration; one is reorganizing contest rules for newspapers and magazines; and another is planning for an exhibit for the convention next fall.
Ella Sengenberger, who is a graduate of Lombard College, has taken summer work at Northwestern, Columbia, and Cornell Universities and brings a wealth of interest and enthusiasm to her work as an instructor in the English department of the Technical High School of Indianapolis.
Upon request Miss Sengenberger has written of her work as follows:

While In Lombard J was president ot my chapter during my senior year, nnd I 81eo won the freshman scholarship cup, oltered by our chapter alumnae each year. I was greatly interested in exua-currlcular activities: at dltterent times was president ot the ltterftry 80-

'I'he two years followlnir graduation, I taught English In the high school at A"on, Illinois; nnd trained the contestants for county declamation contests nnd coached the se ni o r playe.
During the ycor 1916-1917, I 'Was at home In Peoria. At this tlme my sister Nina, also an Illinois BetA. nnd J founded the Peoria chap-. ter of Pi Phi Alumnae. I was elected lis first president.

We pubUab fifteen weekly issues a semester with a large magazine--trom 48 to 72 pages at the .close at the term. This magazine includes yearbook features-senior class pictures and activities, athletics, clubs, etc. The paper carries no advertising, receives no outside financial aid; it supports itself entirely through Its subscriptlon!t-6e\'enty-fi'f'e cents a semester fOr the sixteen issues.
A stat! of fi.tty upperclassmen, chosen 'by me from a I1st recomme nde d by the faculty, nnd with a course in journlllism as a prerequisite , publish the paper. We have two very well equipped editorial .rooms, n small business ottlce, and a distribution room. The students receive no credit tor their hours ot 'Work; their only recompense 1.& the honor of being se lected to represent their 8Chool in thls way ond the privUeges and r ecognition that staff members receive.
The statts have always taken an active interest in the Indiana Hizh School PrcsR Association, founded at Fl'anklin College, Franklin , Indiana , in 1922. Two of our members have held state oftfices in this 8.8SOclation. In 1925 the Cannon staffs drew up a code of ethics tor high scbool PUbUoatlODS and presented. 1t at convention. It was unanimously accepted as Ule state t'Ode. In 1926 we were hoats to the fourth distrIct conference of the state press association, the second meeting of its kind to be held in the state. We belong to the d1tferent national press aMOCintions. and have won Uterary and recognl· tiOD.

AT SUGARLANDS
TII£ HAzEl T ODD MEADEN COTTACE
OW that the Hazel Todd Meaden Cottage i s practically finished you will want to see some pictures and hear a little someth ing about it.
Helen Chew, Ohio A, was th e first one to have a vision of a center in the Sugariand s, six miles above Gatlinburg. She was so inte rested that one summer she taught sc hool there, riding from Gatlinburg each da y, a nd did it all for just her "keep."
The peop le wa n ted her to teac h th e county school there in the fall but she thought it better to continue here o ne 1110re year and in the meantime th e peop le would have more time to think abo ut it.
The next year they came to us with the proposition that they would give two ac res of land adjoining the county school property if we would put a Pi Phi teacher in the school for fo ur years and would huild a teacher's cott a ge on the land None of the se things are done in a minute in this land but finally the deed to th e land was signe d and th at mu ch set tl ed .
The first year Helen Chew and Cora McCarter, one o f our Gatlinburg gi rl s, tau g ht th e sc ho o l and li ved in a littl e cottage the people let them have, and which we fixed up so it was really quite li veable. We supposed of course th e new cottage would be built by the fo llowing summer but when that tim e came nothing had bee n decided on regarding plans for the hou se . The teacher s had to move into another house and before the cottage was fini shed they had lived there nearly two years.
Some years ago the Athens Alumnae Club lost one of its very dear P i Phis and one who was inten se ly intere s ted in the

school. Her husband started a fund which has been added to by the Ohio Alphas from year to year. The only stipulation in regard to its u se was that Hazel Todd Meaden's name should be perpetuated. The fund has been kept intact, not even the interest used. When the decision was made to build a Teachers' Cottage in the Sugarlands we felt that that was the very place to put th at money, especially as an Ohio Alpha was carrying on the work . in that center.
[0 our anxiety to make the building come within our means the first plans called for a kitchen, bath room ( with plumbing to be put in in later years), and a living room with disappearing bed. This never would have been satisfactory for a community house so plans were altered to provide three small bed rooms. Then instead of leaving the rooms open to the rafters we ceiled them so that an attic was made for storing things and also to provide extra sleeping space if we should need it later on. These things called for extra expense, we had to get water to the house, so one thing after another has made the house cost more than we wanted it to.
Not the least of our troubles was the lack of a r oad. The house stands on quite a rise and the nearest road is one that never was made for a wagon, to say nothing of trucks. No one wanted to bid on the job so finally two of our Gatlinburg men srud they would build the house, Mr. Mattil, supe rvi s ing . Late fall had come before work could be started. The miserable summer road became alm06t impassable. But in January the girls moved into a nice rock cottage, comfortable and convenient.
Mi ss Chew's old fashioned cherry furniture she has gotten in the Community has a perfect setting.
The county has built a new schoolhou se, and as you no doubt know , pays two teachers. The state helps with the salary of the third because o f the adult work done. The current expenses of maintaining the center are not heavy,
The cottage is darling, the girls love it and it will last forever . Rut take my advice--if possible build a house where there is a road and you can use a wagon to get supplies in-a flat sled s liding over the boulders and one mule can't haul much of a load and your stock of patience will be exhausted before the work is finished.

State Tenc h e rs College,

"The Top of the World" by Welthy Honsinger Fisher, New York, Abingdon Press, 1926.
Readers of Mrs. Fisher's previous books kn ow already that a treat is in sto re for them in a new volume by her, whether she writes stories or description of the Orient and it s people whi ch
she knows so well. her wri ting is fascin at ing. Her latest boo k deal s with India, but an unfamiliar India, not that of Kipling and of British rule, of deadly heat and teeming with people, but an India of cold and solitude, literally miles above the sea. Here we journey with her to the lofty heights of the Himalayas, the top of the world .
From the Eyrie, their shack at Darjeeling, the Place of the Thunderbolt, Bishop and Mrs. Fisher set out with native guide and pack train (mos tly human), seventeen persons in all, to follow the trail of the Mount Everest climbers to the borders of Tibet and the greatest view in the world . Though they had entertained the Prime Minister of Tibet-and such a unique experience as that was-yet when they sec ured the pernlits to take the trip they had to sign an official document promising not to step foot OR Tibetan soil. On the way their route took them past the Lamasery (Bud-
dist monastery) at Pamionchi where they were entertained by the lamas. For four days they lived at an altitude as great as that of the Matterhorn before their combined Buddist and Christian prayers of the party were answered and the clouds parted to show them "the greatest , "jew in the world," sunrise on Mount Everest, six miles in height, Ranked by Kanchenjunga and Makalu scarcely less majestic, "the three highest points of the earth in which God has chiseled in the ice the word Eternity ."
In God's Gardens, on the heights still below the tree line, they found the mountains fairly on fire with rhododendrons, in bIoom-carmine. purple, mauve, white. One cluster of pink ones bore twenty-six bell-shaped Rowers on one stem, each the size of a tiger lily. Fields of white and yellow calla lilies filled the valleys, and one day they rode mile after mile through forest abloom with orchids. A little shepherd boy they met wore in hi s buttonhole a boutonniere worth $50 on Fifth Avenue. The book is profusely illustrated with photographs by Mrs. Fisher which add much to its attractiveness.
"T lae Painted City" by Mary Badger Wilson, District of Columbia A and New York B. N. Y. Frederick Stokes, 1927 .
The painted City is a volume of nine short stories or sketches of life in Washington. Not however, the gay and intriguing life of the political and diplomatic circles about which most of the fiction centers, but the drab monotony of government clerkships and residents with "paying guests." From Fl u , a story of a young press reporte r who in his delirium sees through the artificiality of the city's painted beauty, we gee the key to the book's title. Veneer tells of the wid ow of a "plucked" navy officer and her revenge. Static is the story of one of the war-time clerks. The Better Part Demoted, and Pensioned, and Cherry Blossom s deal with government employees of long standing In Real Estate we see the tragedy that may follow the first ingress of negroes into a formerly white section of the ciy. Remnant is a sketch of one of the last of the old resident families who has nothing left to her but her pride.

This very splendid tribute was paid to the Unknown Teacher by Dr. Henry Van Dyke in his address delivered at the recent Sesquicentennial Celebration of Phi Beta Unknown Teacher Kappa. u nder the title of "Democratic Aristocracy H
"A.nd what ot' teach ing?" asks Dr. \"an Dyke. "Ah, there you ba,"c the worst paid and tbcbest rewarued of nIl the ,'ocatlon s. Dare not to enter it un less you love it. li'or the VRst lllajority or men and women it bas no promise or 'Wealth or filme . but they to wbom It Is dear for Its own sake are among the nobllity ot mankind "
I sing the praise o.t the Unknown Teacber.
IGreat generals win campo.lgns, but it Is the Unknown Soldier who wins t h e war.
Famous educators plan new Hystems or pedagogy, but it is tbe Unknown Teacher who dellvers and guides the young . He Uves In obscurity and contends with ba r<isllip. E'or him no trumpets blare. no chariots watt. no golden decorations are d ecreed. He keeps the watch a long the bo rders ot. darkness a nd lends t h e attack on the trenc hes ot. Ignorance and folly. Patient in his daUy duty, he strives to conquer t he evll powers wh i ch are the enemies ot. youth. He awaken s s leepi ng Be quickens the Indol ent, e ncourages Ule eager , and steadies the unstable . He communicates his own Joy In learning and sbares w ith boys nnd g i r l s t h e best treasures or his mind He lights maDy candles which In Inter years 'Will shine back to cheer him. This is hls reward .
Know ledge may be gained from Books; but the IO\'e ot. knowledge Is transmitted only by personp.l contact. No one bas descn'ed better ot. t he Republic than the Unknown Teacher . No one Is more worthy to be enrolled in 0. democratic artstocracy" King ot. hlmselt. and sen'ont ot monklnd ." •

We have been particularly (ortunate In several things In ou r 6r8t )' ear. FJret, to have Mrs. Elliot as cur president. Her tact, her Interest and her ,ood judgment are guiding us very Bucce.ufuliy through our In(ancy. Second, even though the dub Is small everyone In it Ie very e nthueiasllc and Interested In the organization. Third, to have had the honor of entertaining and having speak to us Carrie Chapman Catt. Mrs. Catt and Secretary, Miss Ha y , spent seven In JanuaI')' and February at the San Ma'rcos Hotel In Chandler, near Phoenix. Because they were here (or a rest, we doubted that Bhe would give us any o( her time. but we (ound her very gra.dousl and willing to do so. At a luncheon which we gave (or her at the Phoenix Country Club she talked to us 110 Intereetingly (rom her great s tore of experiences and Interests.

at the Parent-Teachers Clinic cond ucted by the schoo l board in Los Angeles. She had been in charge there for severa l years. Katherine was born in St. Pau l , Minnesota, August 5, 1898. She graduated from St. Lukes school in St. Paul. She attended Central High for tw o years but graduated from St. Clare Seminary in vVinona, Minnesota. She then attended St. Theresa's College in vVinona for one year and the University of Minnesota for one year. After this she took a year's training at the Minneapolis Genera l Hospital and grad u ated as laboratory technician and X-Ray operator in 1919.
HOLLA 0, MRS. ]. E. (Katherine Lang). I have been asked to say a word in memoriam of our friend and late member, Mrs. Katherine Holland. Her life speaks for more than any of th ese word s of mine. A ll who knew her l oved and es t eemed h er and to no o rg anization was she more loya l than her beloved II B cP. Always to TI l B <I> she has given her best, even asking that some of the younger members sing at her funeral hymns of her choosing. Death is never a welcome yisitor but to this alumnae chapter it carne with swift and sudden blows in the taking from us of Nellie- Wallbank and Clare McAdam. But with Katherine HoIland His dread approach wa s m o re s tealthy . Over a year ago the surgeon's knife was required and what was thou ght to be a complete recove ry made. Uut not so; and! with a courage most admirable the dreary battle was taken up through the last few months only to end in defeat. But in it all Kate preserved her cheery disposition and sustained by the love and constant attendance of husband and friends gave us all an example of Christian fortitude. God gives us grace to live day by day and when our day's or life's work is done He alone gives us grace for the last hours. The young shrink from an)'" thought of death. the stepping from the known into the unknown, but it is no more terrifying than life itself, no more mysterious. Every step along the way is full of mystery. If we could foresee the future for five or te" yea r s we could not bear it. God has mercifully veiled the fu.ture fronl us but we live only one day at a time and so the years pass.

As a school teacher for several years she held a high plac. in the regar<\ of her pupils and not a few young business men spoke warmly of this regard for her whil e under her guidance as teacher.
She was always a lad y and charitable in her view ... o f any who faltered. An earnest ch urch worker, a compe tent home maker, a good woman is gone f rom among us. ';She hath done what she could" was spoken of one of old. I f that doing wa s worthily and well done what more may be said.

In the tall. o n e ot the larger meellngs was the alumnae rushing teal held In the new home at Airs. A. G, De Vri es o n Lake Harriet Bou l evard. Alway. In December we hav e our annual Christmas luncheOn which Is the m ee ting tor that month. ThIs year it was h e ld at the Minneapolis University Club and was unusuoJly well attended. MlnneapolllJ alumnae entertai n ed the St. Paul alumnae at the Marc h meeting which was held at the chapter house. We are now planning tor the banquet whl('h Is to be a "convention" banquet and are boplng It will be the befit we ha\'e ever had. In :May th e graduating sen lora of the active chapter will b e entertained by the alumnae at a picnic. Perhaps they rna)" be Induced to Join the club at that time. Our Jut event ot tbe year Is always the bridge part)' where we begin our membeuhlp campa.!.-n tor the next This )'car It Is to be held in the new home ot Mrs. M. E. Gutlersen on Thomall Ave" So.
Our main source of revenu e thltt year waS' Mrs. Gutgeaell'lJ Chrilltmu card bookB. 'Ve gave up the Idea. ot a bazaar and spent our time and ett o rt In selling these Chrlat.m&.8 c a.rds. Helen Anderson had charge of the boob and to her we are deeply Indebted for the SPlendid re8ult-. The 8um
ot $600 was reallzed which w e sent t o the Settlement School. That meant that we Mid more than $1000 worth or ('arda.
The other important mearu ot ralaing mone)" hall been the bridge groups ot which there are as many IUJ alI. All girls who can are supposed to belone to some one group whi ch meet. tor Hupper and bridge 8t a member'. home once every two weekJI. At meetings the members ot the group pay tltty cents. These groups have been ven' 8uccessful and allogether a plea.aa.nt way to give your money. The money trom them has not all been turned In 80 the exact amount rt:alh:ed J can not say at thla time.

The North Shol'e Alumnae Club was c hartered In April, 1926. Though our total enrollment Ja 160 members. representing a wide range or territory, our meetings number an average of 35. This IS due to the large number of a.ctlvltles In Evanston rather tha'll to a la c k at Interest In n II 40 \Ve fe e l that our first year has been successtul.
It la our custom to alternate a. card party with an atternoon Cozy , and It la at the latter that we have our feature meetings, with the exception or Foundera' Day
The December meeting at Lillian Capron Raeder's home was devoted to the Constitution, and the FebrUAry meeting In the studio of Mra. Barbereux Parry wa.e glver'\ over to the Settlement School. Helen Barre tt talked to tholle present a.bout the school, atler whic h the hostellse8 served a supper at Otty cents per plate and sold arti(')es made at th e IIchool. The proceeds go toward our yearly donation to the Settlement School.
It 18 our plnn to ' have the Chicago and 'Vest Suburban Clubs and the active chal>ter celebrate Founders' Day with us In Evanston. We are hopIng, too, to ha:ve MI88 Onken with us.
The May meeting, a cooky-shine, will be devoted. to the active chapter.
We hope to give UOO to the Settlement School this year, some of which haft been raised by charging twent)'- fiv c cents a perscn at each meeting In the future we hope to Increase thIs amount, but with a membership comJ)Oiled. la.rgely ot PI Phis from Illlnol8 E, which Is building a $71,000 chapter houae and furnishing It, that Is Impoaalbl e for the present.

The moat absorbing event ot the past term has been the drastic action of the University or Oregon faculty In deciding to establish a.. junior college and to organize honor courses tor superior students. The adoption ot t41s plan necessitates the enllre reorgant zstlon ot the present a.cadem1c system. During the first two years the students will be permitted to maJor In any COUMJe they choose but all wUl be given w c rk along general cultural linea. On completion ot lower division requirements they will receive A jun· tor cerliftcate. In addition, It they have fulnlled several requirements concerning grades, they will then receive a jUnicr certificate with honor privileges. This new system does not effect the etudenta now In the university but w1l1 govern those entering ne.zt tall. After June, 1931, no etudent will receive a B.A. or a B.S. degree who docs not poueaa a junior certificate with upper dlvl.ston atanding or a junior certificate with honor privileges. Under the Lusplcea ot the Y. \V. C A., a serlee of tour ' discussion groupe have been conducted in the numerous living organizations. Various taculty memben hAve acted as leaders In these croupa.

THOUGHTS
Life Is nothing more (or less . if you will) than an adventur e in human relationships. Three things mnst we practice to make tbe most of that adventure: toleration , appreciation and co -operation. Until we find eorne means of jumping trom e-arth we have to Uve here wbether we like it or not. And , we cnnnot live alone . without human contact The other tello\v1 is in the Sllrue fix. He hns to tolel"ate us. We must concede that the other fellow h8S 11 right to his opinions 88 we have a rilfbt to ours--->8. right to his opinion s lIfe's relations, political e.tftliations. edu.catlonal relationship s, industrial contacts. socia l conduct. religious attitudes. When we appreciate and acknowledge the things that are 'Wort.h while in the oth t' r tcl1ow, lh3.t appreciation will be reflected in the nd,-,anccm e nt of the things that are worth whUe and In his things in us worth while. When we appreciate the worthwhlle things tn our human contacts a better understanding and closer relation of individuals will result. A logical seque nce of tile two ideas Is co-opera tiOD. Tolerate the other :fellow. appreciate his good qualities Rnd tile result is advan cement or tbe common good. As CJR says, "Think it over."- From the Phi Chi Quarterly.

It costs $1000 to send n girl to co ll ege tor one yeor; one month costs 1$100; one week costs $25. Is your chn,pter send ing n girl one yenr? ODe month? one week ?-From Hoppa Alpha Theta.
THE IHGH COST M' P.\Rl'lES
We hove noticed n growing tendency on the part of many Greek letter organizations to over-spend on SOCia l atrairs Newsl:mper and other nc:coW]ts of parties indicate thnt extrem e ly expensh'e and gay aflalrs are the rule on a large number of campuses. W e kn ow of cases where interior decorators are brought in from other cltlesj where the price of the orchestra runs into the hundreds of dollars, and where the Id¥ors are extremely expensive gifts.
The tendency to run up tbe btlls tor parties Is doubtless due to the strenuous com.petltion. It Is co.nsidered quite a record to have given the most elaOONlte party of the season.
'I'here may be some chapters whose members have the wealth necessary to cont ribute to such naairs without burdening themselves or their r elatives. For the great majority. howe,"er, levIes necessary tor such function s work a hardship. Chapters sbou ld considerately realize that not everyone in the group enn aflord the socJa l levies that are imposed , and should reduce the extravagance of their functions to the poLot where they are reasonahle in expense. It refl ects much more credit on a group to have given a party within the mesns of its memlbers. thaD to bave been the talk of the campus for the gUttering, extravagant at· fair that WRS held, to the fin8nclftl disruption of some in the chapter. -Tile Agalia of Phi Mu.

A JUST C RITICISM?
Alumni don't contribute most of the money to their own college endowment campaigns. Uore than halt of it comes from trlends of the colleges, not the graduates themselves. A survey ot: sixty-eight recent campaigns by a firm ot: drive managers showed this to be a fact. Why Is 1t that successful men , who did not get their education '8t college, give more treely than those who didj go?
'1'he office cynic, wbose take tbe l}la ce of wall paper ill his home, says it Is because college men don't make money anyhow
Yet, may,oo that Is not the whol e answer. Dq those who feel the lack of an education have more fOOth In it thnn those who have an " A.D." or "B.S.'., amI Rre in a sense d isillUSioned ? Or, Is it becouse the one who wanted to go, and cou ldn 't, is trying to fix thlngs SO that some other lad , simi1nrly situated, may not know the snme loss1The Magazine of Sigma Chi

[f an automobile manufacturer were to substitute :ast iron where specifications called for ste el he would have a difficult task in explaining lhnt both belong to the same group of meta ls. Or, if a jeweler attempted to substitute a white sapphire for a diamond, the plea thal both belong to the precious stone group would not serve as a satisfactory excuse.
Modern business rests upon a foundatIOn of confidence. Without it, the ultimate goal can never be reached, regardless of product.
