PIRATES CLOSE SEASON-
TAKE TWO FROM A. & M.
SIMMONS GETS CREDIT FOR FIRST
GAME—HITS HOMER WITH
TWO ON
Southwestern University Pirates clos-
ed the baseball season 1923 Thursday
•and Friday with a double win over the
A. & M. Aggies on Fireman's Park at
Brenham. With odds against them the
Pirates cinched the first game in the
fifth inning when Simmons, hefty hurl-
er, hit a homer with Robertson and Mc-
Daniel on bases. To Simmons goes prac-
tically all the credit for the victory.
He pitched gqpat ball, allowing the Ag-
gie nine only three scattered hits, two
of them being scratcMI. Be was rather
wild, walking seven men, but was in-
vincible in theY'nches. Robertson had
a bad day in the field, but made up for
it at the bat, getting a double and a
homer in four times at bat. The homer
came in the ninth when he lifted one of
G iff en's fast ones over the left field
fence by the aid of the wind. It was a
mighty wallop—a home run in most any
park.
The Aggies' first counter camc in the
sixth on Forgason's hit and an outfield
error. They rallied in the seventh, but
were sut short of scoring when Wilson
failed to touch second base when Puck-
ett poled a double down third base line.
This play cost the Aggies, for after Wil-
son went out the bases were filled. Simp-
son hit to left, and Sterling, fielding the
drive perfectly, completed a double play
by throwing to Catcher Pearson who
nailed Puckett at the plate. The Farm-
ers scored their last counter in the
ninth.
Harvey, star center for the Pirate
gang, staged a sensational catch of
Simpson's long drive in the fourth
which looked good for a double. There
were two on and two out at the time.

EX-STUDENT WRITES
FOR MAY SCRIBNER'S
TELLS OF LIBRARY EXPERIENCES
AMONG CHILDREN OF RUS-
SIAN JEW S
0U.
Kf I
In Scribner's Magazine for May there
is an article entitled "Library Experi-
ences Among the Children of the Rus-
sian Jews", by Margaret Munger Stokes.
Miss Stokes attended Southwestern in
1911 to 1914.
The experiences narrated were the re-
sult of a term during which the writer
acted as substitute \ibrarian in the chil-
dren's room- in ofle of the lower east side
branches of the New York public li-
brary.
Miss Stokes tells of the eagerness
with which the young foreigners seek
books; of the long lines of children, oft-
en finishing their breakfasts as they
stand, that form before eight o'clock in
the morning to await the opening of the
library at nine; of the inspection of
hands and the frequent sending away
of a child to wash off some of the grimp;
of the influence of the constant associ-
ation with good books upon the minds
and lives of the little citizens-to-be.
In common with other children, the
young East Siders prefer fiiction, but
the library records show that works on
religion, philosophy, science, history and
^biography are also read.
Miss Stokes,.after leaving Southwes-
tern, went to the University of Texas
and later did graduate work at Colum-
bia, where she specialized in child psy-
chology. Says Scribner's: "During the
y—iwar she took an active part in Red Cross
work, as an organizer of chapters in
rural communities. In 1919' she became
a member of the faculty of the Colcgio
Ingles-Espanol in Monterey, Mexico;
and while in that country she traveled
extensively, investigating social and ed-
ucational conditions. Since, her return
to tlie United States she has been in-
terested in story-telling^ plays, and
pageants for children."
THIS IS FOB YOU, MR. AND
MISS SOUTHWESTERNEB
This is a little heart-to-heart
talk with you, the students of
Southwestern. During all this
year not one word has been said
to you in our columns concerning
financial matters of The Meg-
aphone. We have attempted to
reduce, the means of collecting
publication fees to as strict a min-
imu mof trouble for you and us as
possible by the use of the blanket
tax system. We believe that this
system is as fair and just one as
can possibly be devised. There
are numbers of students who have
paid their publication tax in full,
some have paid for two terms,
while there are numbers- of others
who have only paid for one term.
To those who have paid in full
we have nothing to say except a
\ profusion of thanks. To those
who have not paid in full we ex-
press our confidence in you to do
the right and honorable thing. If
you are not able to pay, come and
tell us and we will arrange mat-
ters to suit voar convenience.
Plainly, this is the case: You
have received The Megaphone for
nine months. We have trusted
you to be as fair with us as we
have been with you. If you do
not want a Jubilee Annual, will
you not pay your Megaphone sub-
scription ?

The Orchestra' Concert whieh has
been so well advertised for the past
two weeks will be given in the Univer-
sity auditorium at 8:15 Thursday niglit.
The orchestra has been undergoing. soniQ
thorough training this ear under the
direction and leadership of Miss Etelka
yEvans, Dean of the Department of
Music. Miss Evans herself will prob-
ably give a violin solo. The concert
will be assisted by vocal and cornet se-
lections, which shows that the program
is going to be varied as well as inter-
esting and delightful. Many of the
players are artists in their line and with
tlio training they have received under
Miss Evans a very beautiful program
will be rendered and a large audience
will be expected. The priee for admis-'
sion will be fifty cents. The proceeds
will go to help defray the expenses in-
curred to develop the orchestra to its
present efficiency.
Dr. John C. Granbery, professor of
Economics and Sociology in Southwes-
tern, sails from New Orleans June 12th
on the steamship Niarara of the French
line Compagnie General Transatlantique.
The boat's first stop will be Havana.
He will leave the boat at Vigo, Spain,
and there will take the train for Madrid.
'From Madrid he goes to Northern Af-
rica, visiting in turn Morocco, Algeria,
funis, and Tripoli. Then he crosses ov-
er to the Balkans, taking in Greece, Al-
bania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Rumania, and
finally Russia. Latviar will be taken in
on the way home. "He expects tOjreturn
in time' to take up his elass work in the
fall.
Professor Granbery is making this
trip to do survey work for the World
League Against Alcoholism. Recently
he was called to New Orleans in order
to arrange the details of the trip. He
plans to leave Georgetown June loth.
Dr. Granbery, during the war, was con-
nected with the Y. M. C. A. and devoted
a large portion of his time to welfare
work in Greece. For his untiring devo-
tion to duty he was made a colonel in
the Greek army, and one of the highest
decorations of Greece was bestowed up-
on him by the Greek King. A part of
the territory Dr. Granbery will visit
will not be new to him, ns he traveled
extensively both during the war anil im-
mediately following the signing of the
armistice.
Southwestern feels honored that the
World Lea-rue has chosgw him for such
an important duty and the student body
wishes him well in his travels and work.

UNIVERSITY ANNOUNCES
NAMES UF GRADUA1
X. J. (Cotton) Robison made his week-
ly visit to Baylor eBltorj this week-end.
Things must not be going just right up
there, as we have noticed him hanging
around the Annex a little latelv.
Y. M. C. A CHANGES TIME
AND PLACE OF MEETING
The devotional meetings of the Y. M.
C. A. have been held for the past year
in the University auditorium at 6:15 ev-
ery Sunday evening. Both the time
and place were inconvenient and as a
consequence tlio attendance wast not
very large. This was to be expected,
as there was no enticement to sit in
that large, cold and blank auditorium;
and, too, that particular hour is prac-
tically universally aceepted as League
hour among Methodist organizations.
This latter reason itself deprived the
Y of many Leaguers who would other-
wise have attended the devotional.
The Association now meets in the
regular Y. M. C. A. room at Mood Hall
every Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock.
The president is keeping a graph of the
attendance and in spite of the many stu-
dent activities that demand so mnch
time, the average in attendance has been
more than doubled.

Megaphone Big Beatfty Contest?
"Engaged by Wednesday" was the
clever three-act comedy that was pre-
sented by the Senior Class of George-
town High School lapst Saturday even-
ing in the University auditorium. The/
class wsis coached by Miss Lillie Mot)re
Haden, a graduate cf Southwestern who j
is now teaching public speaking in the

While many defects showed up in the
acting of the amateurs, the play and
story as a whole was interesting. Ow-
ing to the inelement weather only a
small audience was present. The Senior
Class, though, expects to again present
their play here and if plans do not fail
also in several nearbv towns.
Hyder Rollins, professor of English at
New York University, will be acting

LEAGUE CONDUCTS SERVICE
The Itiembers of the Epworth League
were in charge of the services at tno
Methodist church Sunday night and a
number of interesting talks were made
by members of that organization con-
cerning their work, locally, nationally
and in the mission fields. The services
were interesting in that the audience
were given an.Insight into the work of
the League and its program.
(By Mrs. M. McKenaon
Last November in a joint session "of
the Texas Library Association and the
Southwestern Library Association, the
A. L. A. was invited and urged to hold
their forty-fifth annual conference in
Dallas, so all the librarians of the South
and especially of the Southwest would
have the opportunity of attending. Af-
ter due consideration the conference de-
cided to meet us half way, and we met
.at Hot Springs, Arkansas. This was as
Jgooil as we hoped for and Hot Springs
was a very happy selection.
Fifteen hundred librarians gathered
there April 2:i-2**. inclusive. Every State
State in the Union was represented and
some of thepi had many representatives.
Old Mexico was represented by two li-
brarians from the National Libzrary of
Mexico, and the Head Librarian of the
University of Brussels was also present.
Many notables of the United States also
joined our ranks, Mr. Bowker, editor of
the Library Journal: Mr. George Utley,
president of the A. L. A. and head of
the Newberry Library of Chicago; Mr.
J. J. Tigert. U. S. Commissioner of Ed-
ucation, and others too numerous to men-
tion. Texas was well represented, in
fact, there were more registered from .
Texas than any other State and most
of these were from schools and colleges.
The Hotel Eastman was general head-
quarters. Here were the exhibits, the
registration, the burean of information,
and all the things that go to make a
targe gathering a success.
From April 2.1-28 were strenuous but
happy days, for there were so many
good things on the programs that one
did not want to miss a thing and yet
one could not attend aW, for there were
