STEREOPTICON LECTURE
lLast Tuesday evening Mr. Hatt of
Salem favored the student body with a
stereopticon lecture in the school' chapel
which was quite interesting; it also gave
us a faint idea of the Oriental countries.
The initial view was that of the' song,
"Doxjlogy," which was followed by
different views of steamships and the
Pacific Ocean from San Francisco to
China. Then view after view gave us
a little idea of the queer customs of the
Chinese people. Some of thtm were
rather pitiful scenes, especially the one
about a chinaman who had formed a
habit of smoking opium. He being a
wealthy gentleman when he began smok
ing the deadly stuff, but in a course of a
few years his health being ruined, he
died without money. The closing num
ber of the progrpni was the song,
u America." The student body was
well pleased and thanked Mr. Ha tt for
giving us the lecture.
