AGRICULTURAL NOTES
Doctor S. C. Schmucker, head of
the science department of the West
Chester Normal, will lecture in the
Old chapel, Tuesday October 7, at
4:20 p. m. The lecture will be a
part of the course required of all
juniors and seniors taking any of
the four years' options in agricul
ture. Other students in the college,
however, are invited to attend. All
seats in the gallery, and on first
floor from row L back. may be oc
cupied by students who are not re
quired to take this course. Doctor
Schmucker is one of the best
known and most popular lecturers
on nature subjects in the United
States and it is to be hoped that
there will be a large attendance of
students as well as members of the
faculty.
Professor W. H. Tomhave spent
the week in Roane County, West
Virginia, buying feeding cattle for
use in the instructional and experi
mental work of the department of
animal husbandry.
C. G. Mcßride, 'l2, and H. S.
Adams, 'l2, representing the college
as county agents in Mercer and But
ler counties, respectively, brought a
number of their constituents to visit
the school of agriculture during the
week. These men were very much
pleased with what they saw and
signified their intentions of return
ing for the exercises of Farmers'
Week.
Dr. Seerly Again Corning.
Penn State men will be glad tc
know that Dr. Seerley, the noted
'sex educator of Springfield, Mass.,
who was at the college one week
last year, will be here again from
Saturday until Monday noon. He
will speak on Saturday night at the
free lecture course; to the freshmen
at ten on Sunday morning; at the
regular chapel service at eleven,
and at the six-thirty Y. M. C. A.
meeting. Arrangements will also
be made so that those who desire
can have personal interviews with
Dr. Seerly during the day.
Dr. Seerly will be remembered as
having presented to us last year a
discussion of the social problem
which has never been equalled in
thoroughness, frankness and force
fulness. All with whom he came
in contact, whether in meetings or
in private interviews, fully appreci
ated not only the practical physio
logical message, but also the fine
spiritual tone. It was through
"Dick" Harlow 'l2, and "Shorty"
Miller 'l4, that Dr. Seerley was in
duced to come here last year, and
his success at that time created a
strong demand for his presence at
some time this year. All men are
urged to come to one or all of the
meetings, and if • possible, to try
and arrange for a personal inter
view.

Oratorical Contest
It is now definitely assured that
the oratorical contest of the Pro
hibition League of Pennsylvania
will be held at Penn State this year.
Representatives of about ten col
leges in the state will participate
and compete for the sixty dollars
in prize money which is offered.
Arrangements are now being made
by the local league to have the con
test held early in April- The win
ner of the state contest goes to an
interstate contest of which there are
three in the United States. Every
two years the six winners of inter
state contests, during that time, en
ter a contest and compete for
national honors.
To those who are not familiar
with the workings of a local Pro
hibition League, a word of ex
planation is due. The Prohibition
League has no connection whatever
with any political party but is
simply an organization among col
lege students to study the liquor
question. The local college leagues
are under the direction of state and
national organizations which are
composed of college men.
The Penn State Prohibition
League meets on Monday evening
of every other week alternating
with the meetings of the Agricul
tural Society. Interesting dis
cussions are held each meeting and
all meetings are open to any one
interested A local oratorical con
test will be held prior to the state
Contest to choose a man to repre
sent the local league. Any student
is eligible to enter the contest after
he has affiliated with the local
organization.
With the publication of the Penn
sylvania Day number, "Penn State
Froth" will present a new sensation
al idea to the student body and will
appear for the first time under the
management of the new board.
The men of the two lower classes
have been urged to try out for the
five positions open on the staff,
and though a number have report
ed, there is room for more. Froth
meetings are held every Tuesday
night at seven o'clock in 423 Main,
and all men wishing to try out are
urged to repoit next week. With
the resignation of M. J. Lewis and
J. S. Leffler, several alterations
have been made in the staff, and it
is now under the direction of: J. R.
Silver, editor; E. C. Stiles, assistant
editor; B. J. Sturtevant, business
manager, and Wayne W. Weaver,
chief artist.
Southern Club
As the outcome of a long felt
need to unite the men from south
of the Mason and Dixon line, a
meeting will be held in room 121,
Main Building, Friday, 7 p. m., for
the purpose of organizing a South
ern Club.
Such an organization not only
would afford social intercourse
among the members but would also
be a powerful factor in promoting
the interests of Penn State in the
south.
Similar societies exist in the
majority of the leading institutions
of the north, in every case being
established on a strong basis, and
there is absolutely no logical reason
why one cannot and should not be
found here. It is especially urgent
that all men eligible for member
ship to such a club be present at
the meeting on Friday evening.
