Description:	THE NORMAL ADVANCE161§♦ JIL anb & »♦ C a.r. i/. c. 4.1^ URING the preceding month the attend- ■ ance at the Tuesday afternoon meetings of the Young Mens Christian Association has been larger than ever before. Enthusiasm has been greater and the work of the association as a whole bids fair to get a new and better grip on the men of the school, even in face of the fact that it has always had a grip on the boys at I. S. N.The Bible Class meeting at the Centenary church at 2:30 P. M. on Sundays is a success. Professor Sandisons lectures on Hebrew life and history as it is found portrayed in the sacred book is attracting the attention of many students. The attendance at this class is weekly increasing, and there is always room for one more. Come on boys, and get a better under¬ standing of the spiritual force which has done most to move the western world in which we liye^On Tuesday afternoon, February 24, the Y. M. and Y. W. met together to see slides of famous pictures of the madonna. All who attended came away with a new respect for both art and religion.Great plans are on foot for a good organi¬ zation for the spring term. The Y. M. C. A. expects to fulfill its mission as a true servant of both the physical and spiritual needs of young men.Y. W. C. A.The Y. W. C. A. meetings this month have been more interesting than ever.As we are nearing the end of the term stillmost of our girls rally about our standard and are loyal to their Y. W. duties.Sometime ago the cabinet met and selected the Secretary of the Y. M. Cabinet to speak to our girls.His talk Inaction is Death, was certainly very appropriate. Each of us could easily identify herself in one class or the other into which he divided the student body.Some of us belong to the class that spend all the time laboring over our studies. We scarcely have time to give our fellow students a smile and a pleasant word. Others belong to the class that think only of social affairs and a good time, paying very little attention to our duties as students. Talking nothing but trivial and nonsensical stuff. Never giving a helping hand to any one. The third class, in which every one of us should belong, are those who have time to attend to their school work and still always be ready and able to do things for their fellow students and for our school. If we are not in this last class of students we should get busy and attain these desired at¬ tributes.We will not realize what it means to really take part in social life and do our work faith¬ fully until we find ourselves in a position as teacher in a school of some small town. There we are expected to take an active part in af¬ fairs outside of school and if we are unable to do this we are thought of as being undesirable. I think this is worth thinking about.Through the kindness and courtesy of Mr. McBeth and Mr. Schockel the Y. W. was shown some reproductions of the paintings of the famous madonnas.
