CMHA, TOPIC FOR 1G.A.M SEND DELEGATES TO STUDENTS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK PRIZE SPEAKING Discussion of Chinese hliistory and the present situation in the East were the topics considered at the regular meeting of the Y. W. C A. on Mon- day evening. Following are topics which were -discussed: \Confusianism in China,\ by Miss Nellie Wood; \China's 2500 Years of Literature,\ by Miss Mildred Hamlin; \Chinese Language,\ by Miss Kathryn Bangert; \The Place of Christianity in China,\ by Miss Belle Riley. As the discussion was not finished it will be continued at the next meeting with •''Revealing the New. China,\ by the Misses Helen McCue and Grace Fair- banks. At th business meeting following the discussion three delegates were elected to represent the school at the Student Conference which started Fri- day at Dansville. The Misses Marion Greene, Kathryn Bangert and Hope Levya were selected anl left early Fri- day morning for the conference. This is prompted by the national Young Woman's and Young Men's Christian associations for the purpose oi study- ing campus problems, student govern- ment and promoting better inter- national relations in student affairs. The question of -the Silver Bay song was considered. It is customary for each chapter to hand in a song at the Silver Bay conference and from this number one song for the year is selected. Any person in Normal, whether she is a m.miber of the Y. W. C. A. or not, may submit a pa:m, in fact the entire student body is urged to at least at- tempt th; words. The music need not be original, but the words must be. The topics on China discussed at this me-ting were most interesting. We hope to use them in future issues of the Normal Racquette.
