JOINT SESSION IS HELD
BY KOROS AND S.M.K.S
Harry Bone Discusses
Problems With Group
Members of the Korosophian and
Susan M. Key societies met in joint
session Thursday afternoon' in the
auditoriirtYi of the administration
building.
Jessie Ruth Dralfe, Forney^ was in
charge of the program. Dr. Frank
M. Darnell, head of the English de-
partment, talked to the group on
"Better Reading." Louise Hooper,
Fort Worth, an S. M. K., gave a read-
ing, "If We Had Time." Shiela Al-
len, Fort Worth, a Korn, gave a piano
solo.
Harry Bone, traveling secretary
for the National Y. M. C. A., was on
the campus of Texas Woman's Col-
lege Friday night, Nov. 8.
A group of students and faculty
members gathered in the S. Mi K.
hall about 6:30 to talk with Harry
Bone. The discussion fell to an
analysis of campus problems and es-
spccially the problem of over activi-
ties. Mr. Bone said that he had ob-
served that the most outstanding
problems of the campuses of America
were the problem of too many activ-
ities, and of administration and stu-
dent relationship—the problem of dis-
cipline.
The group seemed to come to the
conclusion that most students are
burdened with too many extra-cur-
ricula activities.

Exists.
Mrs. Lisenby said in her talk Fri-
day, "Though rare, the ideal woman
does exist, as surely as the prize man.'.' .
She explained the qualifications and
characteristics of this ideal woman >11
the following words: j
"First, she must have the> heritage
of birth which will give her a strong,
sound physiAl body and a clear brain.
Even then the Ideal Woman cannot
develop from just any baby girl or
just any little girl of ten or twelve
years, or just any young woman.of
fourteen or fifteen years. Given the
physical heritage, environment and
training must be taken into account.
The Ideal Woman must know what
life requires her to know—she must
love knowledge. She must be able to
do what life requires her to do,—she
must have skill. She must have a
love for the beautiful—an aesthetic
taste; she must have a deep moral
sense—a love for the good."
She Challenges Students.
She made this challenge to the stu-
dents: "You college girls have in
your keeping the woman you are go-
ing to be—your After-Selves. Fif-
teen, twenty, twenty-five years from
now are you going to turn over to
her, that Woman-you-ought-to-be, a
body fine and strong, a. brain clear
and active, that, she may proudly
take her place in the sun?"
