Although again and again toward the.
end of last year there cropped up heated
arguments about the needless expense of
flowers compared with their aesthetic value,
the dispute remained unsettled.» It seems
only reasonable that now, before any plays
have been given, or any flower-debts in-
curred, some: student organization should
step forward and solve the problem once
for all.

The solutton can be little more than the
formation of sound public opinion “on the

by a compromise. . However, despite. the
futility of the “Flowers for Bates House”

to the Christian Association we must look
for further guidance.

WHERE WOMEN COUNT :

In the good old. days men. claimed the
monopoly of all the brains as well as all
the brawn. Women’s minds, they argued,
were ‘not suited to learning; higher educa-

tion was men’s own particular sphere. Yet

looked the fact ‘that had it not been for
certain active women the cause of educa-
tion would have ‘advanced slower than jt
did...’
Early in the .fourteenth century. it was
an influential woman, Elizabeth de Clare,
who gave the impetus to women’s activity.
In 1326 she rebuilt Solere “Hall, Cambridge,
where Chauéer had been a “clerk,” and re-
christened it Clare Halé&. She was the first,4

TRIP TO LEPER SETTLEMENT IS OF
GREAT INTEREST



Due to Better Understanding of the
Disease, Infection is Not Dreaded

“Specially contributed by Esther Rhodes, ’25

The most interesting and unusual part
of our visit to the Sandwich Islands Was a
trip around _Molokai with: a short stop
opposite the famous leper settlement.

This settlement was founded about 1864,
and Father Damien, that courageous mis- |
sionary who gave his life to minister to
these unfortunate people, came out to Mol-
okai 1860. Jack London in his
House ‘of Pride has some vivid, if. harrow-
ing descriptions of the efforts of the United
States government to segregate lepers. in
the colony when Hawaii had been made a
territory. Today the settlement is a very

about

cluding as it does a large government hos-
pital and two villages. As the island
steamer stecred slowly about between. the
‘steep cliffs of the island, cliffs that -rose
sheer for hundreds of feet from the water
and were festooned with moss, and thread-
like waterfalls, a large peninsula stretched |
out for three or four miles from an im-)
passable wall of rock. There was a small
sandy beach, but a few feet from shore the
water was toiling over projecting rocks
and coral. - Although the peninsula was
really quite rolling, the towering green cliffs

it seem deadly, flat.

The government hospital stands off to
one side, while two villages straggle over’
opposite sides of the tongue. The .houses
were low and small, but seemed to be in
good repair, and in every’ garden flowers
and flowering trees could be distinguished,
we could also make out some. stores and a
surprising number of church spires.

As° our boat gradually anchored the
people ®astened from all directions, some
on dashing, bucking steeds, others in_auto-
mobiles that were not quite as dashing but
bucked just as hard, and others on foot.

By the time we had lowered: two boats
they. had collected near the shore, for their
Fourth of .July parade. Their own band
began to play and they marched up and
down once or twice in the restricted space.
One or two of them wore the historic
feather mantle. These were bright red and
yellow and were formerly used for state

infection now since the disease isso
much better understood. We even took a
civil service nurse and a IKkanaka baby back ‘
to Honolulu on our boat. Thanks to board
of health control leprosy is decreasing and

the South Séa_Island-almost century
