DR. PICKIBD TALKS Oil
WOMEN OF IIEIR EAST
Influence of Christian Home
In Persia Describe**
“There is nothing which has as much
influence in Mohammedan countries as
the Christian home” declared Ur. H. B.
Packard, returned medical missionary
from Persia, in a talk at the regular
meeting of the Y. W. C. A. Thursday on
“The Work Among Women and the In
fluence of a Woman’s Life in the Near
East.” The medical profession, Chris
tian work, the power of the press, all
arc important, but not as important as
the Christian home.
Dr.” Packard told the story of a wo
man who came to him for medical help
to illustrate the great ignorance which
is prevalent in Persia. The' wife of a
powerful sheik came to the hospital to
undergo an operation. The people do not
trust their own native physicians, but
they will come to a Christian doctor.
This woman had a servant with her
whom she always called “Lady Satan.”
Mrs. Packard on one of her visits to the
hospital asked the woman why she
called this servant by such a strange
name. “Why she knows how to read
and write,” the woman replied. When
asked if she ■ considered this reason
enough for the name, she said no she
was a good woman, but she was the only
one around that part of the country
who could read or write.
With all their ignorance they are ab
solutely intolerant of any other religion.
The children ace so eager to learn that
when two of them had to read from one
bodk one of them learned by reading
upside down. Then wlier they were able
to have a book apiece the child that
learned to read upside down had to be
gin all over again.
“There is a great need for work in the
institutions of America, but there is al
so a need for work in that part of the
world where they do not have the op
portunities we have” said Dr,.. Packard.
Mrs. Packard 15 years ago gave the
first diplomas that liad ever been re
ceived by these people in western edu
cation. Before she was able to do this
she had to deliver an address in the
Turkish language, said Dr. Packard.
“If you girls knew about the be
nighted life the Mohammedan woman
has to live you would try to help lift
her up," said Dr. Pnckard. They have
to go around all the time with veils over
their faces and are allowed to sec no one
that is eligible to marry her. Dr. Pack
ard said that perhaps his wife would be
coming this way soon and that the girls
would be nble to learn a great deal more
about these women. ‘“Mrs. Packard is
good at telling stories,” he said.

STRUCTURE OF ATOMS
IS SUBJECT OF TALK
Lyman Meador Roads Technical Pa
per Before Regular Meeting of
Chemistry Club.
“The Structure of the Atom” was the
subject of a paper read by Lyman Mea
dor, a senior in the chemistry depart
ment. at the ■ regular meeting of the
chemistry department, at the regular
meeting of the chemistry club Thursday
evening. The lecture was built around
Langmuir’s theory of the atom, in which
be contended that the atom is composed
of positive and negative electricity. The
l uclcus of the atom is centrally located
and positively charged, and is surround
ed by negatively charged electrons.
Langmuir also proved that the sum of
the electrons adds to the atomic num
ber o fthe elements as given by the per
iodic table.
All the elements are made up of these
positively charged bodies, said Mr. Mea
dor, and that the only difference is in
tiie number of positive charges in the
nucleus, all the electrons being the same.
These electrons are stationary, rotate
and vibrate or oscillate in definite posi
tiors around the nucleus, most probably
they oscillate in restricted planes.
After the lecture a business meeting
was held, at which plans for the re
mainder of Hie year were discussed. It
was planned to have several more lec
tures, which are to be less technical in
nature, and of more public interest.
