K, Martin, rmiuhrV of exeeutiye rommittee of the board of Iru^t'eeg of Mereer University, gave Mrs. Helen Topping Miller, WeTT Kiown Mscon author, recently lee- tured before the . English class of Mercer. At the sasfe time she read one of her rtorioa.’' entitled "B Flat Barto,” wWth was accepted by the Saturday'Evening Post. The class- s'udeshr a very inti-resting and room was filled-to its capacity dur ing the reading and much interest manifested by the students. Mrs' Miller gave valuable and in teresting information to young writ, ers. She said the art of good story telling consisted mainly in hard work, study - and patience. She il lustrated by saying that whenever America needs an expert to put fine edges on tools shy has to send to Eu rope to secure the best skill. “We Americans are too impatient” she declared. “We do not spend enough time in preparation for life’s work. Why, in Europe a man will study one subject from ten to twen ty years. This principle applies to writing. You . must work, work, work, if you would excel Be accu rate. No matter what the subject or circumstances about-which your are writing, make your knowledge definite. This does not mean one must necessarily know everything about the subject, yet it does mean that whatever statement is made should be truie." Commenting on her story she told how that she had once worked for a northern cutlery . concern- and this way came to know and under stand her character. She chose win ter for the time of the story because she intended to make an appeal to the* reader’s sympathy .for the poqr people who came from foreigp tan4s to seek homes in America. It. wf* a case of discontent among employ ees who were working under ad verse conditions and inadequate, pay. The story found a solution to . the problem by affording a plan whereby, the workers could eventually own thir own boms.

E Brew er has thrown a gloom over the en tire campus. He was gassed while in France and last year had a case of flu which was followed by plue- racy. A few days he was taken to the hospital and an operation was necessary. At the present writing he is doing as well as could be ex pected from the nature of the case. Counting the time he has been on the campus,-, Brewer. is one of the oldest men at Mereer, and is presi dent of the overseas club. He eame from Norman Park in the fail of 1915 and entered the sophmore class. At the beginning of the war he was a member of the ifin^T class and was the first Mercer gUIB to give up his school work and g# into the service- . A training trip to the border.where he became ac quainted with a good part of Texas, fitted him for overseas services. He was in several of the battles and after the battle of St. Mfhiel-he had to -leave the company on ac count of gas and' exposure and- go to the hospital. After his return he came back to finish his educa tion. Last year he lost almost the entire years work on account of illness and he will be greatly hin dered this time by his sickness. Thomas S.
