"SERVE. CHINESE SUPPER FOR
_ BENEFIT OF - FAMINE VICTIMS

Skit Written | By Fung Kei Liu

Hung with gay flags and weird decora-

tions the gymnasium was og into 3

for a supper at which real ~ Chinese food,
prepared under the direction of Fung Kei
Liu,;’22, and Miss» Dong, graduate. student,
was served for the benefit of the famine
sufferers’ in” Northern” China. ~The enter=
tainmént was in charge of E. Rhoads, ’23,

“chairman~of. the World Citizenship -Com-

=~

mittee.

Mrs. William Roy Smith, speaking after
supper in behalf ofthe sufferers, said that
reports from China were very discouraging.
“More than 30,000,000 people are affected
by the famine,” she declared, “and of these
some 15,000,000 cannot possibly be saved.”
Explaining that $12 will save one adult
or two children, Mrs. Smith urged every
one to contribute as: heavily as possible arid
to subscribe to all eritertainments in behalf

- of the Chinese, concluding with the advice

to “capitalize our own judgment to create
enduring gratitude on the other side of the
world,” vt

The next event on the program was a
skit: revealing life in*a.Chinese . school,
written by Fung Kei Liu, ’22, and directed
by C. Garrison, ’21. Miss Liu, as the school
teacher,, showed how Chinese children
should be educated, while Miss Dong
proved irresistible as a little boy, introduc-
ing “many Chifiese games and. winning

rounds of applause by her Witty~remark$?| .

Besides Miss Liu and Miss Dong the cast
included: C. Donnelly, ’21; K. Ward, ’21;
A. Hay, 23; H. Walker, ’24; C.. Garrison,
21, and V. Liddell, ’22. At the end of
he skit Miss Liu ‘told of conditions in
“hina, and thanked the audience for their:
help. The college orchestra then played
the rest of the evening fot dancing.

his books a-great faith in France and her
people, according to La France. His volume
“Auxécoutes de la France qui vient,”
‘from its appearance in 1913 attracted wide-
spread attention and has since the war been
regarded as:prophetic, embodies an “admix-

_ Merits versus Intelligence

The futility of the examination as a test
of real knowledge is only fully apparent to
us who are‘examined. We know that pass-
ing an “examination with merit grade does
not require either a broad understanding
nor the fruits of intelligent interest, but a

-memory temporarily overpacked with for-
mulae and catch phrases conned from tn-
systematic notes. We know the disregard

"vith which facts “not likely to be asked” |"

are treated, and the care with which pro-
fessors’ tastes are discovered. and catered
to. ‘For these evils we cannot feel that we,
are entirely to blame. As: college * “women,
therefore, bound to interests in education,
either direct or indirect, throughout our
Jives, and with the evils of an examination
system clearly before us, it is not too soon
to begin thinking how that system can be
improved.

cation was received. in a military college,
continued in the Artillery: School and. the

‘was to work at mathématics, and to this
he devoted all his vacations. . His. early
history is that of ‘so many of his com-

driven into futile revolutionary courses by
his patriotism and forced by failure to leave

village. These early struggles must have
ggcupied a few years before he went to
St. Louis, where he secured'a position in
a chemical factory in 1886. Throughout
these years his aim was to put aside enough
to take him to an American university, but
the generous help he gave to other earnest
students made this impossible until 1895,
when he went to the Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity. There he took the degree of
Ph.D, in 1897, after two years study. In
1897 he was called to the chair:of mathe-
matics at South Dakota, which he held until
1908; from 1906-08 he was also dean of
the Engineering School. His first wife, a
Russian, who had rejoined him after he
was established in this country, died lo
after he went to South Dakota. His seéont

‘cipally’ in differential geometry, to which

he had contributed in the American Journal |

of 'Mathematits,. the Transactions ofthe
American Mathematical. Society, and *the
Bulletin of the Society. His style, as shown
in these papers, was singularly clear and
direct, both in ao and mathematical
presentation. A gertain considerate com-
pleteness of statement goes far to explain
his success as a teather, combined, as his
teaching showed, with a sympathetic under-
standing of difficulties efhcountered,

I have referred to his constant goodness
to struggling students, which was carried
almost to‘the point of ‘crippling himself

of two Russian girls, thus enabling them te

Playing a fast, fighting game, "22 walked

team game of “fie water polo series last
Monday night with score of 15-1; 1924
fought gamely, but were unable to cope
with the brilliant Junior offensive.

The first half opened with a long goal
by A. Nitoll from full-ba¢k position. The
rest of the half was markedby a series of
speedy dribbles and long passes by F. Bliss

Pa or.sever. Three of

| the Junior tallies in this half. were shoved

in by O. Howard after a scrimmage, and
two were scoréd by E. Hobdy from Passes
by F. Bliss.

The Freshmen defense tightened up at
the beginning of the second half, and by
the persistent, impassable blocking -of~K:
Connor in the goal, managed to keep the
Dark Blue from scoring’ till the middle
of the half, when P. Smith ‘broke through
for a goal.

1922 VICTORIOUS IN SECOND.

In a game marked by swift dribbling and |
wild shooting, ’22 won the first lap of the
second team preliminaries by defeating the
Freshmen, 5-1. The Freshmen were speedy
swimmers individually, but as a team lacked }.

«| co-ordination,

After the first goal by M. Cresby, Junior
half-back, which came about the middle of
the half, the game resolved itself into a
duel between M. Cresby and_S, Leewitz,
Freshman: goalkeeper. N ot until the end
of the half was '22 able to batter down
the Light Blue defense for another score.
M. Cresby constituted almost the entire
Junior team, getting free again and again.
for long, clean shots. J. Palmer, Fresh-

man half-back, did some strong shooting, |’

but the slowness of the side forwards in

getting up under the ball prevented more |

scoring.

VERY incandescent lamp has a Martins: Mount a metal








leaps the space between the filament and the plate when the
filament glows.

2 ‘Edison first observed this phenomenon in 1883. Hence it was
Ms... called the:“‘Edison effect.” -

. Scientists long studied the “effect” but they could not cman
it satisfactorily. “Now, after years of experimenting with Crookes

’ tubes, X-ray tubes and radium, it is known that the current that |
sr anonedinghy minute particles.

leaps across is a stream of “electrons” —

_ negatively charged with electricity.
These electrons play an important part in wireless communica-
_ tion. When a wire grid is interposed between the filament and the
plate.and charged positively, the plate is aided i in drawing electrons
across; but when the grid is charged: negatively it drives back the elec-

ve "trons. A very small charge applied to the grid, as small‘as that re- .

ceived from a feeble wireless wave, is enough to vary the electron
stream. aS

| So the grid in the tube cable: a faint wireless impulse to control
"the very much greater amount of energy in the flow of electrons, and

ceptible by the effects that they produce. Just as the movement of
w a.throttle controls a great locomotive in motion, so a wireless wave,

the Doctor first went up there in 1892 his
influence has been felt throughout the coast
and new. conditions have prevailed every-
where. A rhuch needed Seamen’s Institute
has been established: at St: Johns, “seven
hospitals in various. places; two orphanages
and industrial stations are in pperation,
besides Doctor Grenfell’s gwn hospital ship
which travels up and .down the coast.
- Doctor Grenfell
geon, dentist, lawyer, industrial manager and
minister, but he considers the hardest part
of his work ts be the “begging” for funds
which he does in winter. He has succeeded,
however, in rousing universal interest and
co-operation in his work—his mission has
become international as well as_ inter-
denominational.
After the service Mr. Greene showed a
number of slides in lecture room:G, which
depicted the methods of work—the boats,
‘stations and orphanages, and. the types of
people and conditions in Labrador.
