By doing everything wrong, ac cording to the white man's ideas. Mr Click was in some manner doing things right, according to the Chinese way of thinking, and by flo doing he became very in timately connected with the Chi ».er*r-. His book pulls away the veil of opium smoke and bloody tong wars ani .shows a kindly, humor* loving, philosophic people. Bits of their philosophy are re vealed, along with glimpses of tu.oyr culture, family life, cus toms, and their delight in humor. Illustrative is the story of the .small Chinese boy, who, having rec nt'.y acquired a new baby brother, suggests to Click that I < purchase a football for the baby.

A more successful year in both the choice of entertainers and the response of the students and faculty, has not been enjoyed by the music school in a long' time. Bela Bartok Bela Bartok opened the season in the fall with a lecture and a recital of his symphonic arrange ments based on the native folk songs of his country. He was fol lowed by a series of band and symphony concerts and three Gleemen recitals during the win ter and spring, that were all ex ceptionally well reecived. The war had little effect on these con certs in relation to the size of the audiences that turned out for them. Sigurd Nilssen Sigurd Nilssen, bass-baritone and possessor of a wide musical background, was one of the out standing features of the season in a musical recital. He is pro r- — fessor of voice at the school of music . The Coolidge quartet vras con sidered the main attraction^ the year, except for the production of * ‘•The New Earth.'’ William Kroll, first violin of the quartet, re marked that the audience was tremendous and he and his com panions went wild over them. “New Earth” Eight hundred voices and mus ical instruments combined for the presentation of the gigantic pro duction of “The New Earth” by the choral union and symphony. Highlighted as the main attrac tion of the year it drew a re sponse that was unusually en thusiastic and was a fitting cul mination of almost a year’s work by Dean Kratt and the chofei un ion. The entire year was continu ously given over to radio presell* tations and student and faculty recitals. .....A YES, WE STILL HAVE A FEW TYPEWRITERS FOR RENT, AND THEY STILL RENT FOR $3.00 PER MONTH OFFICE MACHINERY & SUPPLY CO. 30 East lltli-' Phone 148 Oregon ^Emerald Classified Ads I Phone 3300—354 READER ADS Ten words minimum accented.
