   ANARCHY IN THE UNITED STATES

Anarchy is a social condition (some say It Isn't social) which without government permits every individual to have the fullest self expression that he can secure for himself. This is the ultimate of 'Individualism" as we now conceive It.

The organized society begins when the group starts legislating and restraining for the benefits of all members, finding its completion in a socialistic or purely communistic state.

The upper class in America are the most Anarchistic group In the' world at present, for in practice they are limited by nothing. Their money, power, and political contact. In courts or at large nullifys all law for the' good of the masses, and leaves them unhampered to pursue the fullest expression they can plan for themselves by simply maneuvering their money and "pull."

It matters not whether it is economic strangulation, sex orgies, physical, mental, social or recreational starvation which their acts promulgate, so long as they have money they are limited only by their ability to maneuver It for their ends.

You may say that the upper class cooperate. Yes. they cooperate hut In the interest of greater anarchy. You say they donate to charity and are benevolent, but It is simply one form of their maneuvering In order to subjugate the masses for greater expression thru unarchy.—Submitted.


CHAPEL MUSIC

The music department furnishes music of high quality as preludes and recessionals in chapel programs. This music represents work and expense on the part of each performer, but Is given to the student body free of all, charges. Students listen or not as it pleases them, talk and laugh without, care for the selection or the person playing. At the close half a dozen people will applaud, another half dozen give one clap, thereby drawing, the failure out painfully. If students really enjoy the music, why not make It known by a good round of hearty applause; if not, why make it ao evident by half-hearted applause.—Ennuye Satirist.

MISSIONARY STUDENT'S SON

DOESN'T THINK VERY MUCH

OF AMERICAN VOCAL TALENT


Son of J. S. Rice Heard Nothing Best African Music Until Coming To America—Rice Taught In Industrial School In Natal, South Africa-—American Tobacco Companies Sell  Cigarettes To The Natives


By EDNA NYQUIST


Speaking of provincialism there is at least one student In McPherson college who has a world-wide vision and Shat man is Mr. J. S. Rice, who has been on the African mission field for seventeen years. You'll notice him around the campus, perhaps, not because he tires to make himself conspicuous but because he Is conspicuously kindly In his attitude.

Mr. Rice decided to be a missionary 25 years ago an a representative of the Free Methodist church—so he went to the Mechanics Institute of New York and after studying there he Journeyed to England and thence to the beautiful foothills of the Inzalle moutains in Natal. South Africa Here he taught In an industrial school for boys which was established and maintained by the Free Methodist church. The school gave these black-skinned boys training In tanning, carpentry, tailoring, blacksmithing, motor-mechanics, wagon-making, and leather work.


Wed., Jan. 28—in chapel this morning Dr V. F. Schwalm, who has Just recently returned from a convention of the Association of American colleges at Indianapolis, related a few of his personal reactions from the meetings.

"One of the most outstanding speakers at the Indianapolis meeting,” Dr. Schwalm stated, “was La-rado Taft, the sculptor. His address came from overflowing heart of an old man. The people of this age need someone to direct, teach and Instill in them the beauty that is around them,"

After all, the speaker asserted, life is simple and art is simple if you make it so, Everything depends on the individual. In closing Dr. Schwalm said. “If you want to live life the highest devote your life to the fullest."


fables, parables and allegories, lyric poetry, dramatic and epic forms. visions and symbols, and such prose forms as biography, history, and the essay. The second feature of the method is the comparison of the biblical material with other literature of the same type or theme.

The aim of Dr. Culler's book Is to present the Bible as literature, so that It may be associated with and thought of as a part of the literary Inheritance. The method of the book Is meant to be inductive. This book Is the result of lectures given with increasing Interest at various places to widely differing audiences and should appeal to both popular renders and scholars.

PHOTOGRAPHER SNAPS

Russell. Elliott of Waldo visited friends In McPherson last week end.


Mon.. Feb. 2 This afternoon the trustees of the College were the sub-ject of the Quadrangle photographer, Leonard Walker, who photo-graphed them for the College year-book.


The boys he taught were of the Zulu tribe of Africans. Mr. Rice said that they were quick and willing to leanr and were no more difficult to discipline than the same number of white boys In America. They are as a rule honest about everything with the one exception of the cigar-ette smokers, however, they will lie almost every time If they think It will help them. (The fact that the American tobacco companies are putting cigarettes on sale In such by-places of the world isn't a fact for America to be proud of)

The boys are Christians and this largely accounts for their usual good conduct. But there are heathens all around them. Mr. Rice's next door neighbor had ten wives—Mr. Rice smiled when he told this. The neighbor must have been wealthy for even one wife means that a man Is rich for he pays ten bead of cattle for her besides the heavy wedding expenses and forty head of cattle if she is a chief's daughter.

Mr. Rice was asked if he had any trouble with the heathens or If he wa sever In danger because of them. He answered. "No. they usually leave us alone.” He added that there might have been danger for him If he had gone near them when they were on their "beer drinks.” They make beer out of corn, their mainstay In

food, sometimes nearly 1000 of them drink to the dangerous point of killing one another.

So much for their bad customs and now for their good customs. Mr nice said they loved bright colors and put designs on the blankets which they wear, on pottery, and on-their wooden spoons. Even their round thatch-roofed sod houses are decorated sometimes by these heathens who particularly long for self-expression. "And most Interesting of all.” Mr Rice said, "I have never seen a native African who wasn't a good singer." They sing folk songs accompanied by stringed Instruments of their own crude construction. Mr, Rice laughed good-naturedly when he told what his son said when he heard the first Americans sing when he came to America. The son had heard only African singing and his remark wasn't complimentary to American singing.
