Spooking in a clear, forceful
manner, entertainingly, yet infor
mationally, Dean Argelander of
Mount Zion Seminary discussed
some of the current far eastern
problems, giving their background,
and special emphasis to the scholar
In China. Dean Argelander lived
in China for twelve years and
understands Oriental People.
Pledger Carmichael who presid
ed In the absence of the president,
Howard Handley, asked Norman
Tant, a former pupil of Mr. Arge
lander to introduce the speaker.
Mr. Argelander began his dis*
.cussion with the great nationalistic
movement in China and discussed
the Chinese situation from the
viewpoint of a student, since the
students and scholars have had
such a tremendous influence in
shaping the policy of the Chinese
government.
“The efforts of the Chinese peo
ple to forfn a democratic country
is largely tracable to the Boxer
uprising,” he said. He explained
that after the Boxer indemnity
was paid to the United States our
government found the amount too
large and returned a considerable
part of it. The Chinese govern
ment set this aside as a fund to
be used in educating Chinese stu

He said that since that time the
scholar, always the leader in Chin
ese life, was bringing back new
Ideas and conceptions of govern
ment to China.
He said that after the Initial
nationalistic uprising had bean
crushed, the leader, Dr. Sun Yat
Sen, traveled all over the world
in search of help. He finally
found this in Russia. The Russians
agreed to help this movement if
he would permit Communist pro
paganda to be carried out behind
his advancing army. With Russian
help the nationalistic army advan
ced rapidly with Communist pro
paganda following it; the old dy
nasty agreed to abdictate if Dr.
Sun did not become president. He
agreed and thus China's great
leadership he had won.
Dr. Argelander discussed the
Chinese attitude towards Chris
tanity, he said the people of China
felt that Christianity was merely
the forerunner of capitalist exploi
tation.
Throughout his talk he stressed
the reverence the Chinese have for
the scholars. He said that the
educated man in China was the
national heroes, not the military
man. He stated that the Chinese
trend towards militarism would
have much signifiance to the rest
of the world.

Thus spoke Glenn Hogan last
Thursday night as he and Presi
dent-elect Horton Greene formally
initiated fourteen new members in

Ingram Writes On
Teacher Training In
The Junior Colleges

as junior college training. People
who have four years of training
can command better salaries in the
larger schools. The low expense
of the junior college and the near
ness of the junior college to the
local or immediate community are
further reasons for their doing
work in the field of teacher train
ing."
Mr. Ingram concludes with: “In
this article I have called the read
er’s attention to the following:
1. The junior college apparently
will be the institution of general
2. The survey submitted shows
the ineffectuality of our present
set-up of rural teacher training.
3. The survey further discloses
the need for an integrated pro
gram of all educational and allied
agencies.
4. The junior college, because of
its location and economic advan
tages, makes the institution de
sirable as a teacher-training unit.
5. Graduates of four-year insti
tutions go into positions of more
remunerative salaries and longer
terms.

Those present included members

Aunt Penelope:
And still they come! Worries,
worries, I thought I had the most
worries, but then I had some more
and I’m worrying how can I have
more than most?
Remember when Gordon came
down and played our team and beat
us? Well, we went up there, play
ed one game, an won over them.
What I’m worrying about is how
we reign one day and be rained
out the next.
I hear the boys’ glee club prac
ticing nightly and as curosity will
often prompt me, I ask very often
what they are practicing for. The
answer is, just as often, “for a
skit to be given on the road.”
Now dear aunt, do you think

such a large number of boys and
