J ' x E l , i l , Cotner College was organized under the auspices of the Woman's Educational A Council. The women of Cotner terri- Q tory felt that our Christian girls needed to be trained in the things that make ' for better homesg that the duties of home life should be so elevated as to put it on the scientific and artistic plane and that We should create a love for the true Christian home. Also there has been a great demand for Home Eco- nomics teachers and this need could , only be met in our great constituency by training and preparing our girls for i public school work. Many have gone out from this de- partment to establish Well regulated homes and feeling they are better pre- LULU HARDING SMITH pared to meet the battles of life for hav- ing taken this work. Many are teach- ing and extending their influence among ' the girls of the high school age who may never have the opportunity of : college Work. Some are managing tea rooms and Well known cafeterias. E There is a joy and pleasure in this Work for girls that is hardly equaled in any other line of Work because it is attractive to them and rounds out ' their education. We perhaps can never measure the good that will be ac- complished or how far-reaching the iniluence of the Work established by the Woman's Educational Council. i , 1 1 I A I gg -- w '------------ ' Page Thirty-two

THE BULL DOG Music Music is moral law. It gives a soul to the universe. wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gayety and life to everything else. It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good, just and beautiful. -Plato. Ruskin says: The four necessities of life are food, s h e l t e r, raiment and music. We are not true to ourselves, We are cheat- ing ourselves by failing to develop this art, this uni- versal language so neces- sary in this distracting, unsettled period through which We are passing. Music makes things go. It makes a peace meeting more peaceful, it intensi- iies the spirit of courage, it stimulates Workers, it uplifts, it soothes, and it heals. The remedy for all ills is T education. We so often . look for superficial effects rather than for real train- ESTELI-A KIEHNHOFF ing. Music is really an in- visible world, the World of' beauty and of order. We regard it too much as an accomplishment and too little as a means of development. The ulti- mate aim is to train for life-to use the art of music as a means of intellec- ual, aesthetic, and moral culture. Music is of all arts the most socializing. Its long service to society in the past is Well known, but music has a great modern Worth. Soon We shall return to first principles and to natural, normal conditions. Our duty therefore is to keep alive the love of the beautiful, to guard music and bring it safely through. We must keep the sacred fires of music burning and keep them burning brightly in order that their Warmth and light may help to illumine the World in the better days that are to follow. The sound of music that is born of human breath Comes straighter from the soul than any strain. ...sg ..... -..-., 1922 Page Thirty-one
