EDUCATIONAL TOPICS
(Continued from page One)
duce the “the” sound correctly, it is
generally known that the tongue
must be placed between the teeth. But
what is the position of the vocal or-
gans in uttering the other forty-nine
sounds of the English language?
Very few Americans can answer this
question, and it casts no reflection on
them, because they formed correct
speech habits in childhood and they do
not need to concern themselves about
these details. It is quite essential,
however, for the student of Oriental
parentage to know these things in or-
der to master the English language.
Thirdly, some students have difficulty
in making the proper distinction be-
tween sounds that are formed with
the vocal organs in almost the same
position. There is a very slight dif-
ference in the position of the lips,
the teeth and the tongue in uttering
the long “e” and the short “i” sounds.
For this reason we frequently hear
“peen” for “pin”, ‘bean” for “been”,
' ” ’ “ship” for
“way”, and
‘whay” for
“sheep”, also
“wail” for “whale.
The Apostle Paul said, “How then
shall they call on him in whom they
have not believed? and how shall
they believe in him of whom they
have not heard? The same principle
as applied to the acquisition of a new
language might be stated: How can
any one acquire a good command of
a language whose speech habits are
foreign to him ? and how can he ac-
quire these speech habits unless he
be informed ?

Austin, will address the club on the
subject of Leadership. Father Moo-
ney, who was a graduate of Notre
Dame Law School before he entered
the priesthood, has been conected with
the Boy Scout movement for the past
eleven years, and has been in close
touch with young people. He is an
excellent speaker, and well worth
hearing. The entire student body is
invited to come to hear him. There
will also be some good music on the
program.
Wow! Don’t we have fun? There
is no other club on the hill that can
boast of such a spirited group
members as the Valley club. We have
as members, over half of the Lewis
House musicians, and they always un-
selfishly carry their instruments with
them and greatly enliven our enter
tainments.
Saturday night, in spite of the fact
that there were five entertainment
features competing with our club, we
had about thirty present on our pic-
nic.
For a time after arriving
Thompson’s Island we thought we
were at the Kid Party at the Gym,
as all of the most childishly inclined
of our members pulled off shoes and
stockings and waded until their
clothes were drenched, and their feet
sore. Such laughter and delight was
never experienced before, eve
childhood “by-gone days.”
Soon followed an amateur bull
fight, staged by our more dramatic-
ally inclined young sports. The ef
fects were marvelous and the inter-
ested senoritas wept seriously as their
particular heroes,' either man or ani
mal, were downed, and laughed
heartily when they regained their feet
“Supper esta listo,” shouted Mr.
Nelson, our sponsor, as Mrs. Nelson
and some of the girls laid out the eats.
There were dozens of really hot
tamales, deviled eggs, fruit, pickles,
sandwiches, salad and cake. That is,
there was that much to begin with but
soon there was not a bite to find on
the once laden table.
The group was very unique as ev
eryone was dressed in bright Span-
costumes and for an hour they sat
around the mystic circle in the semi-
darkness and!, listened to the club
orchestra, consisting of Red Bugby,
saxophone; Byers, clarinet, and Carl
Timms, banjo. Red and Byers also
showed us the latest whirls, much to
everyone’s delight, as thye seemed
very adapt in their profession.
At a short business meeting the
club constitution was adopted as
read, and a committee was appointed
to carry on the club work through the
summer.
As the moon tipped the tree tops
the revellers ceased their sports and
returned to reality, and San Marcos.
This was the last party for the sea-
son and to be sure, we did enjoy
the affair, let’s give three cheers, and
make them loud for the Valley club.

YMCA NOTES
Last Wednesday at the assembly
period our regular “Y” meeting was
called to order by the president, and
opened by a devotional exercise led
by Dr. Evans.
For the reason that a general roll
call had been announced about 40
members were present.
The president-elect for next year
outlined his plans that he wishes to
follow in the “Y” work. Some very
valuable suggestions were made by
some of the members in regards to
tfcese plans. The work as outlined is
very constructive and we hope that
those members who will stay and
those who will join will faithfully
help in putting these plans over the
top. The YMCA and YWCA are not
children’s affairs—they are a man’s
job. Therefore, let your actions
speak louder than words.
It was very interesting to note that
we had quite a number of our faculty
with us. Those that were present
follows:
Drs. Evans and Nolle, Dean Speck,
Sewell, Woodson, Wiley, Goodman,
Arnold and Tanner.

Saturday afternoon at four o’clock
an enthusiastic group of students
met in front of the Education Build-
ing. Who were they? Why, they
were “Garretts.” Where were they
going? To New Braunfels. In a
few minutes Frank Arnold drove up
in the truck which he had washed and
polished up especially for the occasion.
Everyone piled in and amid a chorus
of shouts, they started out. The
sponsor, Miss Allison, together with
Miss Lazenby, accompanied them in
the latter’s car.
When they reached Landa’s Park,
there was a general rush for the
swimming pool. Then for the next
hour there was a wild confusion of
splashing aand ducking.
When everyone was out and dressed
someone set up a howl for eats. The
crowd gathered at the spring, and oh,
what a feast was spread. One of the
deep mysteries to be solved is, “what
became of the pound and a half box
of candy which some one took over
there?” It never appeared at the
picnic. After eating until they could
hold no more, the crowd enjoyed a
few games. As the moon was rising,

declaring that it was the most enjoy-
able evening he had spent in a long
time.
WE SENIORS
Well, what about us? How many
are there? We are about 160 strong.
We have about five girls to one boy.
But, all the same, we are going to
have a grand time. We are going to

exercise”—in answer to a query of
one who failed to graduate. We are

cal Academy team and he has had j going to teach; many will go to Col-
lege before attending the school of
more than exceptional success this
season with the Eagle baseball team.
In the first game of the season Den-
ton defeated the strong T.C.U. team
that is now one of the leaders of the
Southwest Conference.
The Denton team was to be in San
Marcos on last Monday and Tuesday
but on account of Southwestern Uni-
versity cancelling two games, the two
with the Bobcats, had to be postponed
pending developments.
San Marcos has won by far the
majority of the games played with
Denton. The colleges split on the
two game series last year, which
ruined the Cats’ championship hopes
in 1924.
The Bobcats, whose prospects look-
ed very gloomy at the beginning of
the season, due to the absence of such
stars at Kallina and Hennig, have
surprised and pleased all of their sup-
porters by the splendid ball that they
have played all year. Coach Shands
has kept the team near the top and
has instilled the right kind of base-
bal into his men, and they have de-
livered in a most pleasing manner.
The games will begin at 3:45 p.m.
each day on Evans field. As these two
games close the year of athletics for
the Bobcats, it will be the local fans
last chance to see any of the 1924-25
Bobcat teams in action.
Life; some will walk out the doors of
this institution and bid education a
farewell. Still others will, after a
while, enter technical or commercial
colleges and prepare for a business
life.
We are going to make the most of
the remaining three weeks. Then we
will part, never to be together again.
But, just watch us the remainder of
the term.

SOCIOLOGY CLASS VISITS AUS-
TIN
The Sociology Class of Spring ’25,
of which Miss Bruce is instructor, vis-
ited the various schools for the de-
fective on Monday, May 4th. Before
going, the class was divided into
groups of which George Vest, Charles
Lee Dobbs, and Joice Wallace were
leaders.
The class left San Marcos at 7:30
and upon arriving in Austin about 9
o’clock, first observed the oral method
in instructin the deaf. The method
used in developing speech was remark-
able and was extremely interesting to
us all.
Having used the time allowed at
this school, we went to the school in
which the manual method was
taught. All members of the class
were astonished at the English which
these children knew in the primary
grades.
It was then noon; we went to Bar-
ton Springs, where we ate lunch which
had been carefully planneed by a com
mittee of which Frank Arnold was the
star member. All were refreshed,
and we continued our journey, going
next to the feeble-minded school. This
was a sad experience indeed. All
classes, including idiots, imbeciles,
morons and the mongolian type were
found there.
We went to the school for the blind.
EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECHES
The 8:00 o’clock English claass was
delighted over the challenge of the
10: 30 section a few weeks ago. It
was not a challenge for a duel, but a
challenge for extenporaneous speech-
es.
At last the great day arrived for
the combat. Everyone was excited
and low murmurs could be heard all
over the room, as: “I hate to see the
10:30 section beaten.” “Oh, you need
not worry about them.” The herald
came to the front of the stage and
announced the participants. First
speaker, Edna Earle Clark, for 10:30
class. Her speech was well delivered.
It was: “A Rallying Call to Seniors.”
Second speaker, Mildred Seale, for
8:00 o’clock class. She chose for her
subject, “Mile Stones;” and told us
how to pass them easily. It was a
pleasing and thoughtful talk.
Frank Arnold, third speaker from
10:30 section; “Loyalty,” was Frank’s
subject. It was well delivered and
well planned. He spoke of the loyal-
ty of the people of “Fendal Age.” and
of the present time. We hope that
his speech aroused the class from
their dream and that it will cause
each to become more than just a mem-
ber of the class in the little time that
is left to us.
Last speaker, Richard Harris. He
chose a very good spbject, “Tomor-
row.” He showed the result of a
term’s work in extemporaneous speak-
ing.
The judges departed to hold the
dreaded, yet much hoped for consul-
tation. After many minutes of heat-
ed debate, Mildred Seale was given
first place for the girls and Frank
Yrnold first place for the boys.

and was dramatized by the class of

SUB-COLLEGE COMMENCEMENT
Final plans for the Sub-College
commencement are now in shape for
publication. For the second time the
exercises will be entirely separate
from the college activities, the Au-
gust exercises of 1924 having inaugu-
rated regular high school exercises.
The honor students for the gradua-
tion exercises are: Mary Leah Miller,
(until recently, Blake), first honors;
Lloyd Green, second honors.
As has been announced before, there
will be a banquet on the night of May
25th, class night exercises, May 27th,
and graduating exercises May 29th,
at ten o’clock in the morning. Inter-
esting programs are being planned
for all three functions.

more place was to be visited. This
was the asylum or State Hospital, as
it is now called. This was not made
compulsory, as every member of the
class chose to go through. This too,
The store is fitted with an up-to- as the feeble-minded school, was a
date fountain. This fountain is made
by the Russ Manufacturing Company
of Cleveland, Ohio, and has the com-
plete refrigerating process built in,
so that everything served from the
fountain is ice cold but without ice,
the refrigeration being produced by
the latest automatic process, the tem-
perature running up and down as re-
quired to keep up perfect refrigera-
tion. A refrigerator candy case is
also included in the equipment.
The stock of the new store includes
a full line of drugs, sundries, cigars,
of Lilly’s pharmaceutical supplies; in
fact, everything that is usually found
in a first clas drug store.
John Bales, who has had long ex-
perience as a fountain dispensor, will
be associated with Mr. Kone and will
have charge of the fountain, J. M.
Gillespie, formerly of Edna, a broth-
er-in-law of Mr. Kone, will be asso-
ciated with the business as general
clerk.

Raymond appeared, not as a mod-
n “Don Quixote,” but like a knight
of yore and his actions certainly did
not belie his looks for he showed more
bravery, courage and skill than any of
the modern “jelly-beans” would be
able to portray in actual life. His
armour and sword continually flashed
into the air to warn those around him
of his power and disposition.
George Burris, whether true to real
life or not, clearly showed the audi-
ence by his actions as well as his
words that he was more interested in
the wedding feast than in the wedding
itself. His humped back and torn
clothes added to the humor of his ap-
pearance. He aggravated the cook,
Sally Ross Jones, considerably, for
during the first few moments it seem-
ed as though his hunger would never
cease. “He spoke little but ate lots.”
The bride, Doris Landrum, acted her
role very skillfully and portrayed in
her actions the character of a true
woman. Her flowing white mantilla,
as well as the red rose in her cheeks,
added greatly to her Spanish appear-
ance.
Basilio, played by Louis Strieber,
verified the old proverb, “All’s fair in
love and war.” by pretending to stab
himself in order to get permission to
marry Quiterria. The “fake” wound
was “put over” so well that there
was a look of surprise on the faces of
every person in the audience when
they discovered that he was still in
good health.
Before the wedding, came the Span-
ish dances. Effie Lissner, who enter-
tained the audience with her snappy
Spanish dance. She looked so differ-
ent in her Spanish attire with her
yellow mantilla and lacy dress, that
many of the people failed to recognize
her. She entertained the audience in
a delightful way.
Last, but not least, comes the gal-
lant Comacho, played by Blake Mar-
tin, who gave up his bride in order
that the dying Basilio might have his
last wish fulfilled. He played his
part well, showing his generosity and
bravery throughout the play.
The bride’s attendants were: Mary
Frances Du Bose, Robbie Finch and j get.
Evalyn Emanuel.
The Harvard Lampoon is the sec-
ond college comic to be suppressed in
Boston during the last month.
The Literary Digest parody was
swiftly pounced upon by the police de-
partment of Boston and Cambridge on
the morning that it appeared, Friday,
April 18, and all copies on newstand
confiscated. Two violations of the law
were charged: First, the improper
display of the American Flag on the
front cover. Second, for the display
of an obsence picture on the inside.
The Lampoon parody closely re-
sembled the Literary Digest, so close-
ly that the police in their raid took
copies of the original Digest from a
newstand. The picture on the cover
was a parody of Washington Crossing
the Delaware. One of the men in
the boat is feeding sugar cakes to a
polar bear; another is reading the
Boston Transcript, while Washington
stands in the center of the boat with
his little hatchet in one hand. Float-
ing on a cake of ice in the distance
is a sign, “Welcome to Trenton,
Board of Trade.” The flag flying on
the boat constitutes the alleged dis-
cretion. The title of the picture was
“Sit Down, You5re Rocking the Boat.”
The “obscene” picture is a painting
by Manet, which hangs in the Luxem-
bourg.
Lampoon officials were apprised of
the suppression when two police cap-
tains entered the Lampoon building
and forbade further sales and threat-
ened confiscation of the issue. The
members of the Lampoon board rush-
ed out to the newstands and gathered
in as many copies as possible before
the police could act. Most of the
copies were saved.
The police conducted a thorough
search for the paper. One of the news-
stand proprietors declared that the
agents raided his place with the thor-
oughness of prohibition agents.
The raid started at 10:30 Friday
morning. By 11:30 the Lampoon sold
for $1.00, an hour later $2.50, and
by the evening the price had gone up
to $8.00.
Both faculty and students at Har-
vard are indignant over the action of
the police. Floods of legal advice are
pouring into the Lampoon office.
There is a possibility of a law suit.
Professor Felix Frankfurter, Byrne
professof Administrative Law, advised
as follows:
“It is the old story of police inter-
ference where the police have no
right to interfere. Pretending to be
patriotic and vigilant, the authorities
merely have shown themselves to be
ridiculous and meddlesome. The play
of the human spirit and freedom of
thought, even of foolish thought, can-
not be left in the hands of those whose
only business it is to protect life and
property and maintain order. The
human mind is not meant for the
safekeeping of the police.
“I cannot believe that the Lampoon
will not contest this action of the po-
lice authorities in the courts.”
Professor Zechariah Chafee made
the following statement, pointing out
the futility of the police action:
“I think it is absurd to suppress
caricatures of well known pictures.
“I do not see any reason for sup-
pressing the magazine for the cover,
if the flag appears in the original.
The picture on the inside is more ip-
decent than the original painting, by
Manet, which has doubtless been fre-
quently reproduced without objection.
It would be well worth while to get
a counsel and fight the matter out.”
