Several unusually interesting talks
were given to the Korosophian So-
ciety Thursday, February 1(!. The
first of these talks was made by
Miss aMrian Mc'Caslin on the "Mod-
ern Girl." Her advice is—let the
flapper flap on, for she isn't the
representative type of modern Am-
erican girlhood anyway.
The second of the talks was by
Miss Jewel Knowles, who gave us
a word picture of '.'Her Ideal Man."
He must be educated and possess
numerous other good qualities—and,
she added, must of course, be tall,
and have black hair and brown eyes!
Miss Norma Woody Graham gave

by Miss Martha Cantrell, defending
the modern girl. Each of the talks

ADDRESS BY REV. SAMUEL
M. LINDSAY
I first met Dr. Curry at Newton
Baptist Theological Institution
where he was a professor and I a
student. During the three years that
I studied there, a warm friendship
developed between us .which was to
continue through life: At Newton,
I became acquainted with the warmth
of his personality, his deep spiritual
insight, and the unique philosophy
of life which he was forever preach-
ing to his students. Dr. Curry had
a high respect for the personality
of his students, and a deep concern
for the welfure of each man. :t is
not always that a teacher wins the
affection of his pupils to such an
extent as did Professor Curry.
Dr. Curry loved the open. He was
at home in forest and in field. It
was my privilege to go with him
on many occasions and to study with
him the birds, trees, flowers and
rocks. He loved nature with the
intensity of his friend John Bur-
roughs. It was a rare privilege to
lie under the shade of an oak tree
and listen while he received lines
from Wordworth or some other loved
lyric poet.
Kilmer's Trees was one of his
favorites: /'
I think I shall never see

but the way is yet long and thou j
must carry these two burdens."
Whereupon he strapped upon her
back a bundle of Responsibility and
a box of Humility. Student took
up the stick to begin her pilgrim-
age. She saw before her a long,
toilsome road that led up the hill
of weariness, but at the top shone
the lighted torch of Knowledge. The
path was steep and her feet became
sore. She slipped on a Psychology
stone and almost fell. Now she
clung to a branch of Child Study
and again braced her feet in a niche
of Sociology and ever she strug-
gled upward.
At last, almost spent and fearful
in heart, she grasped the edge of
the last shelf and was amazed to re-
ceive a friendly push, which helped

time to write you a note of appre-

Dr. Curry believed three things
about life: That it is a good thing
to live, a better thing to live long,
and best of a 1 to live well.
He believed that life was a good
and not evil, a blessing and not a
curse. He believed" that God had
honored men by calling them into
being. Wherever he found life ex-
pressing itself, he interpret^! it in
terms of goodness. He was one of
the most optimistic men I ever
knew.
Dr. Curry was enthusiastic about
life. He lived a strenuous life, and
A number of T. W. C. girls ac-
companied by two of the faculty
members, Mrs. Bumpas and Miss
Van Devort, spent a most delightful
day Monday, visiting several in-
teresting places in the city.
The first place of interest was the
King's candy factory. Mr. McNemer
and Mr. Dobbins were very kind to
show us through the building.
Each detail of the work was
carefully exp'ained and by watching
the candies while they were being
made, from the large red pepper-
mint sticks to the mcst delicious
chocolates, we decided that the work
was quite an art. We did not hes-
itate to indulge in the eating of -the
most delicious candy in Fort Worth.
We thank you again for the lovely
box of chocolates and for the kind-
ness and courtesy shown us while
there.
The Walker's Bread Co. was in-
deed very hospitable to us—we were
shown the various steps necessary
in the making of a loaf of bread. We
think Walker's bread is the best
ever, because we were served hot
rolls with plenty of good butter, and
we know how delicious they were.
Mr. Speer, we thank you again,
for the pleasant time spent at the
factory, for it fvvas by means of
your own effort, that this pleas-
ure ^as made pessible for us.
:ie next p'ace of interest was the j
Martin Ice Factory, w? were quite r
amazed at the large machinery and;
I in spite of the fact that we could not-1
j uiidet stand the process, we enjoyed
! our visit.

The annual meeting of the Life
.'-'elvice Volunteers \>f the "Central
Texas Conference wis held under
'he supervision of Alonzo Monk Jr.,
'■'ebruary :Sid, 1th and 5th. at the
Polytechnic Methodist Church. Their
motto was, "The Whole Wide World
for Jesus Christ, Our Lord." Mrs.
Hargrove opened the conference Fri-
day night with the first of a series
of t ne Bible talk based on second
Tim. thy. I he messages she brought
us throughout the series were. The
value of a high ideal, The Gifts and
responsibil ties ot ;r Christian work-
r, the strength and purity of the
worker, His enemies and doctrines,
and Christian fellowship and con-
quering zeal.
1 l:e opening address was given by
Dr. Selecman from Dallas. The sub-
ject of his sermon was "The Con-
quering Kingdom of God.'' He ad^"
vocated a 'Martial Life," and com-
paied our fight for souls here with
the World War. , The soldiers went
to France saving. "We'll not come
back until it's over, over there";
iust so the Life Service Volunteers
mu t. enter their fields of service.
We must link the work cf one Chris-
tian worker to that of another ta
save the world.
The services bo!h Saturday and
Sunday were opened by sunrise
prayer meetings at 6:10. Brother
Monk led Saturday morning with a
talk on soul-winning. The Sunday
morning service was. in charge cf
Mrs. Hargi vc. who spoke on the
wonderful piomise of prayer.
I he address Saturday morning
was delivere.l by Bishop John M.
Moore, on Bra il. It was extremely
interesting and inspiring, as he told
of the needs and opportunities of the
great country to cur south. The last
thought that he left with us was,
that we must train the young Bra-
zil ar.s so that they will be capable
of being leaders in their own land,—
"We shall overcome by the power of
God."

maze of delight, but Logic silenced
her outbursts t»f joy with argument
and Practice Teaching made her
feel small and humble. Weary with
'argument, she sought Sscape, but
she wished not to go back down

door was there which could be un-
locked only with one hundred and

among her burdens, she found
ninety rusty keys. After much
pleading, Logic gave her others, till
at length, after many had contrib-

more. With joyful step, she un-j yearn
locked the door, scarcely noticing
that we consider ourselves
fortunate in having her.

several hours of his valuable time
showing us how to publish a news-
paper. Each detail, from the time
the news is received until it is pi*int-

especially interesting. We were
