EASTER SERVICE HELDOUT-OF -DOORS.

Sunday morning at nine-thirty, thecollege gathered on the south side ofNew London Hall for a brief Eaatermorning service under a grey sky. Eventhe few drops of rain on Easter bon-nets could not detract from the beautyof t he hymns led by the chotr and ac-companied by the little organ, 01' orthe rtesurrectton story, or the lessondrawn from that story of PrestderuMarshall. when the Eaater festival Isplaced so late in the season, surelythe happy custom of an out-dourmorning service at college makes upfor the loss of Easter day at home.

The President then read the suggea-tions of the Silver Bay Gr-o up as to thecruauttes which it seems that Presi-dent of Student Gov€,rnment ought tohavc. They :11"eexecutive nbility, l'e~sponsihility, stabillty, sincel'ety, sym-path~". imInl'Onl judgJment, poise, t[lct,uni';ellishneAs. and pel·severance.

SPECIAL LENTEN SERVICEHELD.

On vYednesday e\'ening, April 16, aSl ecial Lenten service was heJel in thegymnasium at seven o·clock. The ser-\'ice was conducted by the Rev. :\'fal-calm Tay!ol- Executive Secretary ofthe Board of Religious Education ofthe Episcopal Church in the Provinceof New England. Although the servicewas initiated by the Episcopal studentsof .the college it was open to all whocared to attend.

Mr. Taylor chose his text from St.Matthew's version of the events in theGarden of Gethsemane, and preachedon the phrase "and he went a littlefarther," EVIlphasizing the point thatwe as Chl'ist4ans should not be contentwith n scant measUl'ing up to crowdstandards but should .,\.1 "a little far-ther" in all our conduct, choosing al-ways the better of' two -possible ·goods.

"THE EXCEPTIONAL CHILDIS NOT EXCEPTIONAL."

Dr. Johnstone Tells of VinelandSchool.

Dr. E. R. Johnstone, for 26 yearssuper-intendent of Vineland TrainingBchoot, Vineland, N. J., lectured on"The Exceptional Child," 'Eueada.yafternoon in the gymnasium. "The ex-ceptional child," said Dr, Johnstone,"is not so exceptional after all. Sub-normal persons are those whose weak-nesses are the exa g'g'er-atfon of ourown." Dr, Johnstone's lecture con-cerned the exceptionally dull child.

"Vineland," said DI'. Johnstone, "firstasks three questions in dealing with achild. "Where is the child? where dor 1)I'OI)OSeto take it? and how do Ipropose to take it ther-e?"

The first step in treating a feeble-minded child is to give it a thoroughstudy. Even the X-Hay is now usedtor this end. Often the heart or di-gestive org'ans are fOUlld to be ab-nor-mar and when the trouble is COt'~t-ected, there is a great improvement Inthe mental state. '1'11emental exami-nation follows the physical ana thechild is classed accor-dtng to its de-gTee of intelligence. 'rests oC stabilityand unstabilit~' are also made, 'fhefeeble-minded are those whose mindsdo not develop nOl'mally. '.rhey al'e dl-videcl into three groups, tn .. Idiot. theimbecile, and the moron. There is agroup or high moron or low grade ofno"mal which is often not recognlzeuns feeble-minded, but does not quite"~et Hlong" in the wOl·ld. An import-nnt thing to l'emembel- in dealing withboth nOl'mal and subnormal children Isnot to put too much responsibility 011them.

Dr. Johnstone asked everyone totake an intel'est in the State Institutionfor the Feeble-MInded at Mansfield, ofwhich Dr. La Morte is in charge. Heemphasized the fact that a home forthe feeble-minded is one of the hap-piest places in the world.

Dr. Johnstone stated that the objec-tive of Vineland is to take the exag-gerated traits of the feeble-mindedchildren, to stUdy them, and to tell theteachel's of normal children how to goabout tmining them. The first thingof Importance is to be sure a child un-derstands the teacher. Another maximis that if you fil'mly establish the factthat a certilln thing is bad, the badact will be the first thing the chilclwill do when he gets angry. Also,evel'yone likes attention, and if onedoes not get it through doing goodthings he will through doing bad act.s.The principle Is, of course, to noticeand l'eward the good things.

The voice of the adult counts a greatdeal with a child.

A reception was held for Dr. John~stone, Tuesday evening, in the FacultyRoom of the Library,

ELECTIONS.'l'he elections for next year's officers

are now well under way. The SilverBay Group, in suggesting to the col-lege a list of some ten qualities re~qui!'ed in a candidate for office, hasstimulated college interest in t.he cam-paigns of a hil;h degree. 'file quali-ties recommended are fundamental andare essential to any leader of collegeactivity. It Is not too much to askthat a girl in office have executiveability and a sense of responsibility;1101' is it t.oo much to expect her toexercise sympathy and tact in meetingthe ineVitably annoying problems ofcampus life.When the Silver Bay test 15 applied

to a girl, personalities are fortunatelyleft out. It is so easy to recognize inanother girl one's own faults and tocondemn her for them. The proposedstandard excludes judgment on all thepetty personal vanities from which weall suffer. It is sufficiently broad toinclude all the major requisites ofcharacter and personality not onlyfor a Student Government President,but for all the other officers, the em~phasis of qualities being regulated bythe office in question.A student body which elects its lead-

ers with these qualities in mind hasno cause (at' unjust criticism of itsofficers when they assume their posi-tions. The sympathy, tact, and per-severance cannot all be on one slfi€.The individual members of any a!,·ganization must assume their shareof the responsibility for carryingon the work. The shifting ofresponsibility for a failure on her partby a member of an association tothe chief officer is not only a futiieform of defense mechanism, but it isnot true sportsmanship. In a smoothlyrunning organization, responsibilityis proportionally divided between offi-cers and members.

FREE SPEECH.[The Editors at the Neloa do not hold

themselves responsible [or the oplniollAeX'Dre.ssed1n this column.)

To the Editor:The first ~ews the majority of us

heard when we got on Campus-orpossibly before---was that anI' latestEndowment Fund effort had been

crushed in the bud or existence. Thatunique plan, as eood as any goldendream one has. and even berter, forthis was so per-recnv possible. was norto be reaueedt :wnerher it was a flRment of the mind

of some one beyond the campus. thatthe ptan was not unanimously approvedby the cotteee. or whether some dis-senttne votce had been raised to ex-tend beyond the campus limits, it isnot known. If it was the Iorener therehas probably been some attitude on thepan of some member of the college tocreate that thought. 'wourd it not bewell to consider our actions and OUI'words when they can be used as wehave witnessed to our own drsadvan-raze and disappointment? People arejudging us when we ao not know It,and one untavornbta act might cast itsshadow to darken the whole college.It is a natural tendency to take oneact as chal'acteristlc or a person, onenegative voice for that of it multitude,one opinion for that of it community.It is up to each one of us not to be the"one". It is a responsibility not to beignored. '24.

HUT CHRISTENED WITHSTEAK AND BAKED

POTATOES.First Week-End at Miller's Pond.

Yes, it was a true rumor that themembel's of A. A. Council were to bethe first to spend the week-end at thenew hut. A week-end at Millet·'s Pondincludes a brisk hike plus many littlepracticalities such as blankets, pillOWS,food, a real bed for future inducementof chaperons, and other minor necessi~ties. The self·appointec1 moving com-mittee, consisting of Spud, Sally and'reddy, successfully conveyed the sup~plies within a mile of the pond in thecollege Ford.Pre!ir;Jinal'ies over. the stl'enuous

work loi: furniture moving began, theunpleasant details at: which may beimagined and omitted. The hut havingbeen set in ordel', the Committee re~warded themseives with a plunge inthe cold waters of the pond. It wasnot long before not only kitchen andpantry. but IiJ,ewise parl(lr and bed-room of the hut reeked with the blissof sirloin steak, baked potatoes amIother delicacies. The evening wasspent singing and talking before thefire, with an occasional stroll upon therocks, to admire the moon which in its(ull glory lighted the waters of thepond.From this point on the story re-

sembles the Bed Time variety. Bedswere made on the floor of the hutaround the fire. The a(orementionedthree decided to keep watch and tendthe fire during the night. Severaltimes the others questioned at thedepth of this altruism, for when theywere not walkJng about on the porch,talking in voices not quite low enough,they were replenishing the \....oodpile,waking the others, and wishing thema "Mel'ry Easter Egg-." So the nightwas spent.By 5.30 everyone was up, breakfast

was ready at six, and at seven allwere ready to leave.Do such hours appall you? Does

this week-end seem unattractive? Itmay from this account but \ve canonly ask you to try it for yourself, asonly experience brings full apprecia-tion.
