reSS NOES ; - r- r:?x. f : zil ??- . ■?;: : r -Trrrr m BETHMAN, IN TALK, COMPARES MAN TO A 3 CYLINDER ENGINE TALK BY Y. M. C. A. MAN Mr. Hoisington, assistant state secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was with us several days ago and gave us a splendid talk on what one should do to fill in his niches in life. He told the traitor story of Benedict Arnold to illustrate his point. He said that we were all Fords, having a moral, a social, a religious, and an intellectual tire. , . + . .+ . . . . . . 4l . ., ESSAY ON PENITENTES The Penitentes — from a Spanish cross to a chosen place where it is A erected, and he is nailed to it and left for some period of time. He is taken down after unconsciousness is reached. The burial of the crucified is supposed to take place, but rarely does. In my experience I have known of a living baby being suffocated by the Penitentes. I was also acquainted with an old Mexican who lived at Petaca, New Mexico, who suddenly disappeared from this place. It was soon after the Penitentes had cele- brated Lent ,and we learned that he had used barbed wire with which to lash himself. Death followed as a result of blood poisoning and lack of care. In another town one of the prettiest children is always chosen as a victim to be fed to a snake. It almost seems impossible in this day and age that such conditions could prevail in any section of our country. It would seem that some attempt should be made to remedy conditions of this kind. H. M. PINGREE LECTURES On Monday, February 11, the stu- dents again had the pleasure of hearing H. M. Pingree, state super- intendent of the Methodist Episcopal churches, give a talk on principles of accomplishment. This was an exceptional delight, as it came in the morning during the regular reci- tation periods. The following is a brief summary of his talk: ' ' When you are young, take ad- vantage of all that life offers. It is great to be young, and youth is the flowering, the most beautiful, the most enjoyed and the strongest per- iod of a person ' s life. To go to school is a privilege, an opportunity, in fact it is a preparation, not only for one ' s future, but for future gen- erations. To get the benefit of study, get your lessons, and contin- ually have an object in view. Then of most importance, whatever you do, DO WELL. Think while you are doing it, that is what your head is for. Make every accomplishment a masterpiece. This speech was brief and concise, and delivered in a forceful, inter- esting manner.
