Show THE DIXIE OWI D. . C. SCIENCE SEMINAR The Dixie Normal College is a young vigorous institution with many ' needs, expressed and unexpressed. Her ambition is to realize these growing wants to the beauty and cultivation of her country and the satisfaction of her people. The growth of an educational institution may well be judged by the united efforts of teachers and students to preserve the best monuments of history and to live the safe progressive life of the present. In expression of these facts a number of the teachers and advanced students organized the D. N. C. SciThe ence Seminar last February. duty of this organization is written in its constitution to study and discuss current scientific problems and literature; and, to carry on scientific research in so far as we may, especially emphasizing our problems of local interest; and, to develop the scientific attitude among our members; and, to stimulate interest in the collecting and establishing of a museum within our institution. During the past year, several very excellent lectures were delivered before the society, the progress of scientific fields was ably reported, and the Seminar placed a few of the best scientific magazines before its members. It is the duty of each member of the association to contribute each year at least one specimen of plant or animal life or of inorganic nature or historical relic, worthy of a place in our museum-to-b- e.

The club meetings will be well worth while for anyone especially the farmer. DERATING Our debating and oratorical contests, like other activities, have been delayed. This, however, should not worry any student of the D. N. C., for this part of the school life has not been overlooked. Public speaking of all sorts is being arranged for to such an extent and under such a plan that none of our talent will be required to lie dormant because of lack of oppor-- I tunity. The debating this year will very likely be on one of the current questions, therefore, of great interest. These questions also afford an immense field for researcn work on the part of orators. The fact of the matter is that opportunity for public speaking is everywhere confronting us, making it almost impossible for the contests to be otherwise than well matched and keen. It is also next thing to impossible for any student to turn this chance aside. Because of this we feel certain that these activities will have the hearty support of every student, thus making a "grand success.

The numbers were as follows: Song chorus; Wee Willie Miss Snow; vocal solo Winkie Paula Andrus; piano solo Hazel Bunker; vocal solo Mr. Nicholes; cornet duet- - Mr. Bleak and Clare Gates.
