EDGAR LEE MASTERS WILL SPEAK MONDAY Author’s Works Possess Universal Appeal Edgar Lee Masters,—'“moralist and social philosopher, the only poet with Americanism in his bones”— such are the epithets hurled when speaking of the noted author-poet who is to speak Monday, at the Woman’s building. Mr. Masters, who is a native of Kansas, was brought up in that re gion of the state of Illinois known as “the Lincoln country.” His father was a law partner of Lincoln and was also his inspiration. It so happens that his most fam ous work, “Spoon River Anthol ogy,” was written with a home set ting. Not only has he earned fame through this work but through its criticism he has been termed an “American Masefield with more sense than Mr. Masefield but a smaller poetic gift.” True Ameri can, in the spirit of his poetry as well as by birth, he has been termed another Walt Whitman. Even though his works are char acterized by impersonality and oc casional spurts of irony these very qualities serve to bring out the per sonalities of the characters of his works with such perfect clarity, such extreme reality that one does not realize the presence of these factors in the writer’s treatment. Perhaps one of the things which tend to make his works so popular is their universal appeal. It has been said of his Spoon River story that not only has he succeeded in presenting his character’s lives per fectly, but in so doing, he has por trayed life as it is everywhere.

W. Groups on Technicalities Of Leading Discussions (Continued from page one) concentration of energy, and self cultivation. Technicalities of leading discus sion groups were taken up by the next group. In the first place, Miss Louks pointed out, a subject for dis cussion must have two sides. “There is a great difference between de bate and discussion,” she said. “Debate presupposes that one side or the other is right, but discus sion allows for good points on both sides. Opinion is always decided on the base of sense of value.” There is no stimulus in a discus sion if there are not two sides, Miss Louks declared. If people have different points of view a better conclusion will be reached. Con trary to former announcements, there will be no discussion groups held with Miss Louks today on ac count of the basketball game. Fri day at four and five, they will be resumed.
