It is difficult to realize that soeh words

with the sung of nature in each line, were
written in the Tenth Century before the

There are two sets of literature—and so
Sunny more that there are few boundaries
—active and contemplative. And I have
founjl in reading early Chinese poets that,
while writing of active moments and of
dramatic mditions, and because they wore
a contemplative people, they were always
able to pr. sent these movements with an

The Brooks' prize debate, the annual commencement debate held at Southwestern
University between the two literary societies, the Alamos and the San Jacintos, was
■won unanimously by the Alamos, represented by It. Ci. Mood Jr., and Joe Lee Thom-
son on the affirmative of the question: "Resolved, That Immigration to the United
States should be prohibited for the next four years with the following exceptions:
(1) Persona having members of their Immediate family lu America, and (2) Skilled
laborers.
I this fact of contemplation Is true of many
Orientals, but the Chinese contribution to
Oriental literature is unlike that of Par-
! sia or Japan or India. Jt is too unsweet-

Unstudied Poetry.
It has been said of the early Chinese
writer that he did not know lie was a
poet. And that he bad no "style." His
mind was occupied with the actuality ••£
the thing about which he desired to speak
possessed by its most honest aspect, lie
was the echo of an incident. The <?hina
man sounds a conservative poet, an un-
emotional transcriber. J lis words are di

Sympathy With Nature.
There is no adventure, no climactic tabu-
lation of emotions. It !s tie- sympathetic
listening to, the pleasure in seeing, the
thinking about, nature. That a peach
blossom is more red after rain is a de-
licious fact without Importance to many
people, but to the poet it is u reason for
the summer shower—and his own content.

finds its emphasis lor beauty in the har-
mony of nature rather than in the disson-
ance. These poets are passive realists, re-
ceiving their impresses from a force with-
out themselves and giving these notes
forth again, not as their own achievement
or as personally recorded sorrows, but as
sort of data on life it>elf. They do not
intentionally tarn from the romantic or
fail in idealism; rather their realism be

table romance of nature. These Chinese
poets have the sensitiveness of a rare
civilization and the innocence of eager eh !-

is pure.

You may not be built like this
but we'll fit you just the same
TUST because you don't belong to the tall
slender type of man, the kind who seems
built for the waist seam style, you needn't
put yourself in the hard-to-fit class.
In fact, no matter what group you fall into; whether
you're built for waist-seam models, or more conservative
sacks; whether you prefer clothes that fit rather snugly
or like them built for ease and comfort; loose and roomy—•
we know we can fit you. There's no magic in that, either;
it's only a question of our having a big variety of suits
made by
Hart Schaffner & Marx
We have suits in regular sizes; suits for stout men, short
men; clothes for men who like the moxe extreme models
like the style shown here; two and three-button sacks for
those who prefer something more conservative. All we
ask is a chance to show how well we can take care of you.

FOR DEMONSTRATION AGENTS
College of Industrial Arts at Denton in
Co-operation With A. & M. to
Open School July 21.
Special Telegram to The Express.
DENTON, Tex., June 14,—The Collage
of Industrial Arts, through a co-operative
arrangement with the Agricultural and
Mechanical College, will offer from July
j L'l to August 21, special courses for the
county home demonstration agents. Miss
! Laura F. Neale,' State home demonstration
! agent, recently visited the college and
! held a series of conferences with President
llralley of the college, Miss Sarah Frances
Kowim of the department of rural arts.
Miss Mary Miller of the department of
foods and cookery. Miss Mary Marshal of
the department of applied art, and Miss
I Edna Irene Avery of the department of
textiles and clothing, at which conferences
practical courses were worked out espe-
cially designed for home demonstration
with the snine old cry.

The Benefit of ClannNhness.
The Chinaman writes his love songs to
his wife, and when they must be sepa
rated he sees her, in his vision, at home
I he instinct of the Chinese for the pres-
ervation of the family is almost as pow-
erful t day as it was three thousand years
ago. The grandfather is more important
in the household than the grandson. His
well being is considered: his maintenance
is the affair of the younger members «.
the family, who will be. in their turn, siji
ported by their sons and grandsons. This
elannlshness and the slow awakening of
the Chinese women to their share in n.t
tional life may be reasons for the present
separation of China from international
power, but they have retained for the poet
the national individualism which is for
him such a rare fabric.
The following poem was written In the
Ninth Century before Christ, and has for
subject a gathering of the clans:
How goes the night?
Midnight has still to come.
Down in tne court the torch Is blazing
bright;
I hear far off the throbbing of the drum.
How goes the night? f
The night is not yet gone.
1 hear the trumpets blowing on the height:
The torch is paling in the coming dawn!
How goes the night?
The night is past and done.
The torch is smoking in the morning light.
The dragon banner floating in the sun.
