An interesting feature of the C. W. B. M. meeting at the Christian church Wednesday evening was a debate.

The question was, Resolved, That heredity has a greater influence on child life than environment. The af firmative was taken by Dr. Blachly and Rev. Richard, the negative by Mrs. Evans and Miss Clare Robbins.

The judges were Rev. Brunt, Superin tendent Edgerton and Professor Na-bors. Two of them voted for the affirmative and one for the negative. It was a broad, fair-minded and in structive discussion of this question and excellent arguments were put forth by both sides. The best of feeling prevailed and the C.

W. B. M. ladies have every reason to feel proud of their representatives. The March meeting of this organization is always given over to a consideration of fhe children.

Prayer was offered for the children who have no homes, no churches, no schools and no books, also for the training of the children of our own homes. The question of how best to train the child for the work was discussed. The answers to hidden questions, which' can be found only after diligent search in the Missionary Tidings, the official paper of the organization, is very helpful in giving interest to the meeting and in assisting the members to remember the facts so learned. Monday was the golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.

J. H. Akin. They were married on the farm near Zeandale, now owned by James Hess. During all these fifty years they have made their home in this community, having lived in Zean-dael until 1893, when they moved to Manhattan.

The celebration at their home Sunday was a surprise for them arranged by relatives who brought well filled baskets with them. Several nice presents were left, together with congratulations and best wishes. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. M.

W. Ingraham, Mr. and Mrs. V. V.

Akin, Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Douglass, Mr.

and Mrs. E. M. McDonald, Mr. and Mrs.

The following ladies who help instruct and direct the college girls and boys took a sleigh ride and enjoyed refreshments afterward at the home of Miss Marie Coons Saturday evening: Mrs.

Van Zile, Misses Becker, Weeks, Coons, Beach, Miles, Train, Hobbs, Mutchler, Nash, Warner, Hine, Fur-ley, Biddison, Ping and Lindsey. Mr. Leslie Ross of the animal husbandry department of K. S. A.

He captivated all the members apparently as at an election by ballot after the evening sermon to decide whether or not a call be extended Mr. Arnold every vote was cast in favor of extending the call. Mr. Arnold stated that while he had come to Manhattan without thought of accepting a call until he had considered other of- ers the unanimity of the call and the good appearance of Manhattan and the college had induced him to accept the call without delay. Rev.

Mr. Arnold is a native of Geor ia. He is equipped with education and pastoral experience. He took his college work in Kimberlin Heights, and the Transylvania University of Lexington, spending three years at the former place and one year at the latter and will complete a bur-year course at Drake University the first of June. His work as pastor will be commenced here the first of June.

V. V. Akin has moved his family from the. farm to the house on Fre mont street which he recently bought of S. Jas.

Pratt. Musical Concert. The music loving people of Manhat tan are pleased to know that Profes sor Harry Brown and his symphony orchestra at the college is to give an otner concert down town tnis year Tuesday, March 12, is the date. i The Marshall theater will doubtless be packed again. By coming down town the townspeople are given better inducements to attend.

The college people ask Manhattan folks to go out to the campus several times a year and it is only right that one college event should come to us. The Students' Herald is authority that the orchestra is the best and most loyal student organization on the hill. The program this year is of higher class than ever before and the orchestra is putting in overtime getting it. Manhattan should be glad of an opportunity to hear this splendid musical organization.
