Attend Y. W. Conference
Millersville Normal was the center of
interest tor Y. W. C. A. workers the
week-end of March 28. Several normals
were represented, namely: West Chester, Bloomsburg, Shiiiiiensliurg, Stroudsburg, Keystone, iliirylaiid, and Lock Haven. The three re]iresentatives from
Lock Hiiven were Kuth Malone, treasurer; Helen ilizener, president, and
Grace McKinney, secretary of tlie Junior
Cabinef.
The conference was opened Friday
evening by Miss Kliiik who spoke on
the life of Esther and Morduai. The
tlieme of her falk was derived from
Monliiiii's words to Queen Esther, "Who
knows buf that we iire come for such a
time as this." Following the talk there
was a "get acquainted" meeting. Every
one enjoyed every one else.
Hefreshnieiifs were served, and every one retired to be rested for the conference

About 4:.'J6 A. M. I was awakened by
the sound of my roomie's alarm. It's
awful to be disturbed so suddenly in
the dead of night. (You people who remained in bed, can only use your iniagiiiiitions). Well, when my roomie refused to slam fliat alarm with a pillow,
f had to crawl out. I hapjiened to be
the first one in the main corridor so I
located in one of those coiiiforfable rocking chairs in the blue-room until the next
person ii]i|ieared on fhe scene. This was
Faye Lord (of course we did justice
to the rocking chair until five or six
more ajiiieared). We soon learned and
were pleased to know that some of the
inembers had kindly consented to remain in bed. Our couseicnce was relieved because it wouldn't do for iill
of us to do such injustice fo tlie beds.
If we would get grades for slec]iiiig,
their isn't a doubt but what Amy Biik

Larkin would give them a good secoiul

The Rehearsal

Health of the Child

The Kehearsiil, a coiiied,v in one act,
written by Christojiher Morle,y, was given in cliapel, April 10. The setting was
an unadorned stage—just several chairs
and a small table.
Freda, a brisk .voung woman wlio enjoys her responsibility, and takes it seriously, enters.
She then arranges the
furniture. Several girls meet for a rehearsal and are very much disgusted
with themselves, their director and their
play itself. Freda does everything in
her power to get the girls to go througii
their j)arts well. The jilayers think the
play is too quiet and they insist that
the.v never heard of a one act play having no fuu in it. Freda is rather disgusted and decides to let the second
part of fhe jilay rest until the next rehearsal.
The characters were as follows :
Freda, Director
Anna Mae Landis
Christine
Edythe Morrall
Barbara
Frances Cook
Gertrude
Kathr3'ii Brosius
Sonia
Helen Dittmar
Marjorie, Manager
Ann I'eters

The Health of the Child was the subject of Jlr. Drum's talk in Chajiel, Monday, April 7. He explained to the students several fyjies of physical exaininatioii notices wliich are sent to parents.
One type of notice gives the child's name
iind stiites that a careful examination
seems to show certain iibiiorinal conditions. These conditions are then listed
and a request made that the defects be
attended to.
The exclusion notice is another type
which gives the cause of the requested
alisenee of the child from school, and
states that he must be taken to a doctor
or a clinic before returning.
In case the child has no physical defects, a notice to that effect is sent to
the parents.
A short time after the first notices
have been sent to the parents, a jiink
slip is given to tlie child to take home.
This is to deterniine whether or not the
child has received treatment. The sliji
is to be fllled in by "yes" or "no."
There are also slijis for specific defects. These often give advice as to the
care of the child, and sonietinies give prescrijifions to be filled.
The seriousness of the child's ph.ysical
condition is not always fullj^ appreciated by either the parents or the teacher. Old age really begins at the age of
twelve. From birth up to twelve years,
the death rate decreases, nnd from
twelve up, it increases. Therefore, it is
very important that the school should
do all in its power to jiromotc the
heiilth of the school child.

Saturday afternoon Millersville demonstriitcd the ideal Cabinet meeting. A
great portion of fhe iifternoon was used
to criticize the meeting, constructively
and dcsfrucfivel.y by the girls and Miss
N'eigel. Miss Klink took charge of the
meeting tlien and discussed the duties
of every cabinet. The four outstanding
problems to make clear a r e :
1. The meiining of Christian Citizenship.
2. Cliristian Citizensliip o n t h e
Ciiminis.
;i. Christiiin Citizenship in the Community.
4. Christian Citizenshiji in the World.
Saturday evening, Millersville gave us
a lianquet. The room iuljoining the dining room was deeorated with the daffodil as tho center of color scheme. This
added to the general cheerful attitude
of all those present. Songs were sung,
siieeches were asked for from the different schools reiiresented, and all in all
this was a very lively and interesting
gathering.
The conference for next
year will be held at the Keystone Normal at Kutztown.
After the banquet another social gathe r i n g was held.
This was more of a
farewell gathering as it was tho last
meeting of all. The students who attended as representatives feel as though
they had gained invaluable knowledge
to help t h e m with their duties as Y. W.
officers.
Several ideas are to be tried
out in C. S. N. S. at a future date.

Newly Adapted Menu
With the final chiinging of tables in
the dining room for this year, table
number twelve adopted a menu to be
served with every meal. At this busy
time in the school year evei'3' one is
more or less tired, and perhaps a little
overworked. That's wh.v i l r . Vonada
suggested:
First Course—Goodfellowship soup. It
is the essence of a spirit in tune with
the worhl, providing it is served liot.
If delayed or allowed to become cold, it
is nauseiiting.
Entrees—Smiles. Garnished witli the
sauce of good-nature and sincerity, flavored with the herbs of good acts.
Second Course—Generous hospitality
to all. Fill this with laughter, good
stories, reminiscences, and serve in a
setting of all our friends.
Dessert—Liiughter.
Pile high with
good cheer. The best p a r t ot all—the
good time—costs nothing extra and wo
want all tables to share with us. Let's
keeji our troubles in our books.

to be sure, with a marvelous eye for
color; he suffers from unrequited love;
but even these leave the reader uninterested. Perhaps tho author did not
wish to awaken interest in this character. Edward W^illiams, the fellow mentioned, is a young Englishman uncomfortable in the simple wilds of San Francisco's Bolieinian quarter. He is disliked
by all his acquaintances, but derives
morbid satisfaction from his plight.
While attending a party he meets his
ideal mate, Emily Prere, another exiled
subject of Britain. She is presented
more as a stream of consciousness than
a human being. These two unfortunates meet several times; then while Edward is recovering from a slight operation, Emily leaves for China. Edward

A reading, "Bird Architects and Architecture," was given by Margaret Heylnum. In building nests, birds do not
strive for beauty, but for comfort, protection, and security.
The outside is
often covered -with something similar to
the surroundings. Birds usually build
new nests each year except in the case
of the hawk and the owl, who return year
after yenr to the same nest. The oriole
will use its old nest if it is secure.
Keeping birds in captivity has proved
that nests are built by imitation, not b y
instinct.
The following have been
found ainoug birds:
Weaver—the oriole.
Basket Maker—the vireo.
Masou—the thrush.
Brick maker—tho barn swallow.
Joiner—the chimney swift.
• Tailor—the tail or bird.
Potter—the cliff swallow.

we cough three times, flourish a lavendar tinted 'kerchief, gaze respectfully
into the eyes of our questioner, and
launch upon the subject of the weather.
Finally, with a great "a-liem" the question is repeated by us, and since we
have consumed many valuable minutes
belonging to our patient examiner, we
talk all around the point of the question, onl.v giving facts that might slied

time. Our tliouglits may be good (and
again they may not be so good) but they

all these birds are our good old friends.
It seems tliat along with our friends

The scene was in the breakfnst room

heard the alluring song of the gypsy, it

so-called freedom of the g.vpsy.
At
breakfast time with her husband, the
King, she still further rebelled, iind
(lecliired she wanted her egg boiled ten

the things that had been done before
them for centuries. While at breakfast,
she again heard the song of the g.vspy,
and decided she would no longer stay a t

window before any one could stoji her.
After the excitement of her escape bad
somewhat subsided, it was remembered
