Trailing Arbutus
It might be fitting at this season
to offer a plea for the greatest
favorite of our wild flowers, the
trailing arbutus. A few years
ago the woods around State Col
lege were filled with the fragrant
blossoms of this flower. Even
today there are many places beauti
fied by the arbutus, but an ever in
creasing number of "nature lovers”
has threatened its extinction be
cause many gatherers have pluck
ed up the whole plant,' root and
stalk. Why cannot we, who love
the beautiful things in life, remem
ber to cut or clip off the flowering
branches and, instead of extermin
ating the plant, increase its produc
tion of beautiful flowers. When
we have protected it by this treat
ment, we can more truly appreciate
the poet’s words:
“Sequestered flower of April days.
Thy covert bloom in leafy ways
A spell about me weaves:
Thy frosted petals faint pink glow,
Crystal pure like urns of snow
That all with incense overflow
Half hid beneath the leaves.”
Remaining Deficit
The Y. M. C. A finds itself
$266.25 in arrears for the past year.
As a result of Billy Sunday day
the association was able to de
crease its deficit from $l4OO to this
amount. Although this contribu
tion may seem large at first glance
upon investigation it is found to fall
below $.25 per person present.
When we consider the privilege
that was ours and the unquestion
able value of our Y. M. C. A. to the
college and community it seems our
duty to make up this deficit with
out their personal solicitation if
possible.
President Wilson says “You can
test the modern community by the
degree of its interest in the Young
Men’s Christian Association.” In
this test according to membership
we have no equal in the college
world. Why then is it not possible
to clear off this sum without fur
ther notice.
Faculty Additions,
Trustees of the Penn State Col
lege made three important appoint
ments to the faculty this week.
Dr. Arthur S. Shomaker was ap
pointed college physician and
physical director. He holds de
grees from Columbia University
and Kansas City Medical College.
For the past four years he has
been physician and director at
Tsing Hua College, Peking, China.
Prof. M. G. Kains who was made
the head of Horticulture has
degrees from Michigan Agricultural
College and Cornell University.
He has recently been assistant
editor of the American Agri
culturist.
The new head of the Department
of Public Speaking is Prof. J. T.
Marshman who holds the same
position in the Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity. He will give especial at
tention to Penn State's debating
team which this year defeated
Swarthmore, Franklin, and Mar
shall and Dickinson.
The Athletic association finds
itself with the problem each year
at this time of getting sufficient
houses of entertainment for the
athletics competing in the inter
scholastic meet. This year 150 men
are expected to be here and this
will necessitate the aid of the
fraternities in as liberal a manner as
possible. Any house desiring to
entertain any particular man or
school should make their wants
known to Manager Devoe or his
assistants.
YOUR SUMMER JOB
Should yield a practical business experience and a good summer of money.
Would you like to get both next Summer ?
Last summer 2346 men made on an average 98c an hour or $6.86 every seven
hour day demonstrating and selling “WEAR-EVER”. This equals
332 men by extra eiTort average $10.92 every day they worked seven hours.
“WEAR-EVER” aluminum cooking utensils are household necessities.
Advertising hus created a nation-wide demand for them.
Large orders can be tuken and profits are in proportion.
Last year almost 1000 men applied for territory ufter the door waR shut.
If you are interested don’t fail to see E. Gentzler, 316 W Beaver avenue,
and apply for territory now. Don’t wait until summer comes. By that time
