FORMER LUMBERJACK SPEAKS
ON THE GREAT NORTHWEST

Dr. McCall Tells of His Work There

Twenty years in a lumber camp before
turning minister, Dr. Jack McCall spoke
in the chapel last Sunday night.

There are, Dr. McCall said, 200,250,-
f ‘standing timber in ‘the
great Northwest; over 5000 men are.em-
ployed there, and the 6nly church working
in an organized manner is the Presbyterian
Church. According to’ ,Dr., McCall, the

 

lumberjack is a big-hearted, honest, -cour-,

‘ageous boy, strange from’ being so long-in
the woods, but inherently fine. Dr. Mc-
Call’s appegl to his audience was that they.
should “hive these men on their hearts,
men who need help but whom nobody loves
but Christ.”

In his work among them, D}. McCall,

or “Jack” as they all call him, hears many

sad’ stories, some of which he told—of
Johnny-the-Grouch, who responded so eag-
erly to sympathy, of Tom, who couldn't
help swearing but trusted “It -wouldn’t
matter as long as it didn’t come from the
hegrt 3” and.of Henry, who gave up chew-
ing tobacco because “It was wicked” and
took to chewing’ snuff. é
Radicalism , was his ~ worst ‘enemy, Dr.
McCall said, ‘and there was even a strong
feeling against the church as a capitalists’
institution. -But he was generally able to
win out by “practicing what he preached”

‘and by “that fundamental necessity” human

sympathy.

MEXICO NEEDS JUSTICE. FROM U. S.,
SAYS MR. MacDONALD

-“Right relations between the United
States and Mexico would be a wonderful

_ example, in the world, of justice between

a strong country and a weak,” began Mr.
James. MacDonald, chairman of the~For-

~Seign Policy Association, who spoke in Tay~

lor Hall last Wednesday evening under the
auspices of the World Citizenship Commit-
tee, in connection with its course on Inter-
national Problems.

Describing modern Mexico as “an abode
hut-with a marble-facade;’-Mr. MacDonald
showed how it is a country of great rich-
ness of natural resources, particularly oil,
as contrasted with its weakness through
race complexity and political organization,

and the wretchedness | of the mass of its

population. Finally, “Mexico is peculiarly
the problem of the United States, the points
-of issue between us must be cleared up,
and we must lead the way to a just and
equitable exploitation of the resources of a

~ backward country.”

 

-MISS KING SPEAKS ON DANTE AT

ITALIAN CLUB TEA ,
In appreciation of Dante’s anniversary,

* Miss King, professor of history of ° art,

spoke at the Italian Club tea last Wednes-
day afternoon, on The Divine Comedy and
others of Dante’s works, ‘i

“The Divine Comedy,” began Miss King
“must be approached from a point of view
which embraces all great religions and the
deepest workings of consciousness. Fur-
thermore, it postulates a God to be trusted,
and it admits the reality hell; hell is a
state of mind, Finally, Dante’s was a life
very much like‘ours with similarities in his
high ideals and his desire for peace.” Miss.
King showed Dante as a great lover, and
revealed his moral, intellectual, political and

“poetical sides,

LAW SHOULD BE OBEYED, CLUB
DECIDES BY INFORMAL DEBATE
Whether or not law should, be obeyed

regardless of moral disapproval was argued

at a new kind of informal debate held ih

Taylor Hall last Thursday evening. The

aflirmative team, T’Beaudrias, 23, E. Austin,

'25 and M. Hansen, ’25 won by a vote of

6-5 over the opposing team, N. Fitzgerald,

’23, H: Chishol, ’25.and N. Hough, ’25.
Cards, on ich possible points in the

argunitnt had bee# written, were drawn
by the six debaters who volunteered at the
opening of the meeting. The teams were
given five minutes to prepare, one minute
was given for each speech, and the re-
buttal took two minutes with five minutes
to prepare. This method was approved
by the members at the close of the debate,
and another debate on the same plan” was
held ‘tonight on the resolution: “That the
system of comprehensive examination” be
adopted at Bryn Mayr.”

Supporting the résolution “That law
should be obeyed regardless of moral~dis-
approval,” the team for the _ affirmative
argued’ that nations where law is supreme
succeed, that~ the “character of — the indi-

vidual improves where the individual will

is subjected to the greater will of society,
cand that the rights of the community come
before the right of the individual.
negative contested that loyalty to.an ideal
made for. progress, true character and the
best of citizenship. N. Fitzgerald, 23, gave
the rebuttal for the negative, and E. Austin,
’25, for the affirmative side.

CHINA IS MOST CRUCIAL PROBLEM VOLUNTARY COMPULSORY ein

‘ ADOPTED FOR CHAPEL

 

Motion Unanimously Carried

Results of the questionnaire on chapel
attendance were discussed ‘at a meeting of
the Christian Association on Thursday, and
a motion Yhat the voluntary compulsory
plan be adopted for the. rest of@the. year
was unanimously carried. °

From pledges signed by . the students,
stating the number of times that they would
attend chapel, it was found that the mini-
mum average atendance would be 102, with-
out taking into consideration members of
the faculty and graduate students,. The
suggestion to have chapel at 6 o'clock in-
stead of 7.30, was not accepted on the
grounds that outsiders would be uriable to
attend, that ministers had agreed to con-

‘duct service at 7.30 and might be unable ~

to come earlier, and students away for
week-ends or the afternoon would not bg

back in time. ‘

made the same reservations for their extra-
tersitorial privileges, , :

On November 23 the Chinese. revenye
question came up before the Far® East Com-
mittee. China’s customs have been fixed

‘and administered by Great Britain ever

since the Treaty of Nanking of 1842, Be--
fore 1900 China had no foreign debts, pay-
ing for all expenses of government from
her taxes. The indemnity imposed-for the
Boxer outbreak, however, saddled her with
a heavy foreign debt for which her taxes
are not sufficient return, She therefore
asked ‘of the Conference that she be allowed
to raise her tariff from the 5 per cent.
rate fixed by the British in 1900; to
12% pér cent. and that she be allowed
to make a higher rate for luxuries, that
is, that the autonomy of her own customs
be gradually made over to her. She pro-
posed that the treaties which. fixed the
tariffs be abrogated, together with those
which compelled the’ investment of revenue
funds in foreign instead of in Chinese
banks. This also applied to the returns
from the railroads wich are at present
also invested in foreign banks. At this
point Great Britain went on record as in-
terpeting the Root resolutions to mean
that there should be a pooling of railway
interests in China which should be ad-
ministered by a commission of foreign
powers. She also understood that Great
Britain would continue to administer the
customs. This interpretation China er

ously opposed.
