NORMAL STUDENT SUCCEEDS Berea Normal students of the past few years will remember Lorena Lewis, who was a student in our Nor mal School and afterwards taught in our Training School. After she be came Mrs. Travis and moved to Okla homa, the need for teachers was so pressing that she found it impossible to resist the call to the schoolroom. The following is clipped from the North Eastern News, published by the North Eastern Normal school of Oklahoma: Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Travis have charge of the Christie school this year. Mr. and Mrs. Travis are from Kentucky, but were both in school here last year. The following article clipped from a county paper shows that they not only have the interest of the school at heart but that they are attempting something for the community as a whole. "Quite a bit of interest is being manifested in the Christie Literary Society, or Community Club, which was organized lecently. This club has a two-fold purpose. First, it of fers an opportunity for all the peo ple of the community to get together rd discuss the problems that are. Tbfse discussions may take the form of debates or round table discussions. Second, it offers the pupil an op portunity to display work done ' the school. The club Intends to se cure outside speakers occasionally, and to provide music and general en tertainment for each meeting. "The primary grades have ren dered two programs at the club meet ings. These consisted of songs, stories, Mother Goose Rhymes, etc. Each program waa taken from the regular school work. All present seemed to enjoy the work, especially some of the dramatized stories. A few present had never seen work of t'ind done by the primary grades Berea College Alumni Association (This space belong! to the Alumni Association of Rerea College.

Pyeng Yang, Korea, January IS, 1921 Dear Friends in Berea: It haa been only a few months since I left Berea, yet it seems over a year, for so many things have happened. You have a new president, and I'm glad to hear good reporta concerning him. Besidea hearing from se'cr.xl friends in Berea, I get The Cit.'zen almost every week; so I get most of Berea's latest." As some of you know, I left si hool June 1, 1920, was home three weeks, and left June 22 for the coast. Tn Kansas I met Mrs. W. N. Blair, v.-ho has been a missionary in Korea since 1900. We came the Northern way, sail ing from Victoria, Vancover Island, B. C, on the "Empress of Asia," and disembarking at Kobe, Japan. We crossed Japan by railway to Shimo noseki, and took a boat across the Korea Strait (sometimes called Japan Strait) to Fusan, Korea, coming the remainder of the way by rail. You see a lot of beautiful scenery, as you never get out of sight of the moun tains. It is very hot here in sum mer, so most of the missionaries go to summer resorts. I got here in time to go with a crowd to Sorai Beach, or Kumipo, on the sea. I ran say that I did my first swimming in the Yellow Sea. For recreation we have bathing and tennis in summer. and skating and basketball in winter They say it is real cold in winter. but I don't think we have had real cold weather yet at least, it is not nearly so cold as it gets in Missouri. As you know, my work is in the school for missionaries' children, teaching in the high school. I have the first three years in high school, and my time is so entirely taken up with the children that I have not time to study the Korean language. I expect to study aome next summer, however. This has been my first Christmas so far from home, yet I think it hat been my happiest. The workers are all so good to me, and I'm just glad to be here. The social life is not strenuous, yet there is plenty. Yes terday the governor of this province had all the foreigners in this station to hia houae for tea. It really was a dinner, with speeches, etc. He also had a gift for each of us. It was quite an elaborate affair. The gov ernor does not talk English, ao there were several interpreters present. Would you like to hear a few facts concerning the Korean mission field? I will give you a few. Half the 6,000 population of Syen Chun are Christians. The largest theological seminary in the world is located at Pyeng Yang. FourJlfths of the churches in Korea pay all their own bills. The area of Korea is 89,548 square miles; that of Kansas is 81,- 318 square miles. Except in rare cases, no Korean is received into full membership until he can read and write. There is one ordained preach er to every 150,000 persons in Korea; one missionary to every 37,000. In stead of the missionaries driving the woyk, it is the work driving the mis sionaries. There are not enough workers, and those who are here a.-e overworked. In our station alone, two familiea have gone this month to America on health furlough. All the Sunday-school is in the church all the church is in the Sunday-school. It certainly is inspiring to attend their meetings. Every Korean church of any size haa its missionary society; every pres bytery has its home mission board, ao'it waa quite a novelty to them to see the children play the roles of wolves, donkeys, cats, dogs, anJ chickens. However, no one enjoyed these programs more than the little people themselves." GIRLS' BASKETBALL GAME The Normal girls enjoyed a very exciting and close basketball game by Charles while the general assembly has its board of foreign missions which sup ports a flourishing Korean mission to the Chinese in East Shantung. It ia said that Korea is an easy field to work in, for the people are so eager to be Christians, and so re sponsive. That is certainly true, yet the number of workers is not in pro. portion to the work. Besides need ing ordained men at present, there is a great need for nurses. There ia not an American nurse at the Union Hospital here in Pyeng Yang, and they need two. There are two American doctors, however. Seoul is the capital of Korea, and, of course. Is the largest mission sta tion. Tyeng Yang ia the second larg est. The workers in Korea are North ern and Southern Presbyterian, Northern and Southern Methodist, Canadian Presbyterian and Australi an Presbyterian, Seventh Day Adven tist, the Congregational church (with headquarters in Japan) and the Sal vation Army. Wouldn't you like to see some places of interest in Korea? There is a large I.eper Hospital in Taikyu, which is in the Southern part of Korea. I spent my Christmas va cation in Taikyu, so had the privilege of seeing this hospital which has about 150 lepers. It was a sight that one seldom sees. Here in Pyeng Yang there are many places of interest. In the old en dsys this city was threatened with a terrible flood, and the ancient ma gicians were railed from all Korea to come and see what was the mat ter and to help keep the city on the map. They came and saved the day by tying the city down to some great posts on the plain outside of the North gates. Wouldn't you like to see those formidable stone posts that have held the town securely all these years? Did you know that during the past century there was a massacre of all i the Christians in Pyeng Yang in the days of the Catholic church mission ' Come and see the monument erected In memory of those brave Christians who would not recant. There is a wonderful view in Pyeng Yang. It ia the "Mo Rau Bong." or peony point, just at the northern edge of the city. Below this point is spread out the moat beautiful pan orama of river, islands, pine-clad hills, fertile plains, and the busy city. Jack London, who visited Py eng Yang in the days of the Russo Japanese war, pronounced this scene from Peony Point to be the most re markable and picturesque combina tion he had ever laid hia eyes upon. But the chief reason why the Christian tourist should visit Pyeng Yang is to find out how much success the Forward Movement is having. There have been revivals all over Korea this past fall, and one result is that, where the men's Bible class has been meeting other years with an attendance of about seventy-five, is now meeting here with an attend ance of about 250. Isn't that wonder ful? I could talk hours to you about the great work which haa been done, and the great work there ia to do, but I think you would rather not hear any more just now. I could also say a few things concerning the Japan Korean political aituation, but :'t would never pass the censor. I hope you will enjoy these few lines. Is there anything you would like to ask about? Hoping you are all as happy as I am, . Sincerely, Etta Boyer, Pyeng Yang, Korea with the girls of the College during Vesper Hour on Wednesday night. The game was a very close one, the score being 12 to 10 in favor of College, The boys, not being allowed to attend the game, gave the Nor mat girls all the support they could from outside the gymnasium. The Normal line-up was as follows: Forwards, Lillie Webb and Leta Sugheot Mountain Men in History By Elisabeth B. Peck, Professor of History, Berea Academy PHILIP II. OF MACEDON The Father of Alexander Everyone knows the story of the marvellous achievements of Alexan der the Great, the Napoleon of anci ent times, but not everyone knows that Alexander's conquest would have been absolutely Impossible had it not been for the great work of Alexan der's father, Philip II. of Macedon. Although Alexander's fame has eclipsed that of his father, yet it is conceded that I hilip II. should be counted among the greatest of an cient kings. Now this Philip II wits a mountain man, and it was with nn army of well-disciplined mountain men that he extended his sway ever the more aggressive states of Greece. The Macedonians When Philip II cam? to the t'lrrne, the Macedonians were a rt.uuli, un cultivated people who were regarded with great scorn by the h'trh'y cul tivated Greeks. For the Macedoni ans, although they wen really Greeks, had been secluded f-r so many centuries in their mountains on the north of Greece that they liail long since Wen left behind in tt't race toward civilization. The Greeks hid become a commercial people, the Mac edonians remained a plain country people, for the most part farmers nrd shepherds; the Greeks had beer me j rich, the Macedonians were still pour; the Greeks had become democratic ;n I government, the Macedonians were I still ruled by kings; the Greeks had I developed poets, architects, sculptors, orators, and philosophers, the Mace donians had none of these, except when aome Greek from the south was imported. The Greeks of course loooked down upon the Macedonians as very backward and uncivilized, and sometimes even refused to own them as fellow-Greek. It was Philip If who brought all these cultured and supercilious Greek states of th south under the rule of their northern kins men from the mountains of Maeed'v nla. Young Philip When Philip was a boy, he stood very little chance of ever becoming king, for there were several in the royal line ahead of him. But at least his royal lineage caused him tn be sent to Thebes as a hostage fi r a few years when he was in his teens. As he was a very wide-awake youth, he made the most of this opportunity for receiving a thoroughly Greek ed ucation. Moreover, he became well acquainted with the two greatest Theban generals, who were also great statesmen. He drank deeply of Greek culture, observed the weakness of city-state government, and learned the military devices by which Thebes was holding temporary sway over her neighbors. It was not many years after Philip returned to his home io Macedonia that he seized the throne from the weaklings who were trying to hold it and made himself king of Macedonia, although he was only twenty-four years of aire. Changes In Macedonia Philip's great ambition at the be ginning of hia reign was to make his native state of Macedonia the equal, if not the superior, of the proud lit tle Greek states to the south.

FOR BETTER TEACHERS When will the Kentucky cities make the effnVt that other citiea of other states are making to improve the work of their teachers. The fol lowing 4s taken from the Wisconsin Journal of Education of November, 1920: Racine haa adopted a policy affect ing the professional betterment of the teachers in the public schools which might very well be emulated by other cities. Teachers who spend the sum nier in study at an approved educa tional institution are paid their ex penses up to a maximum of $100. Thia amount ia adequate to meet the expenses of study in normal schools and universities, except those on the There Are a Million sf- complish this result, he developed the Macedonian army into a marvellous fighting machine, for hia mountain men took to military discipline more readily than to art and letters. By Improving the Theban formation, the phalanx, by developing cavalry, by adding artillery, and by cultivating a strong national spirit, he made the Macedonian army stronger than any army which the Greek city-states could muster. To finance his scheme, he worked the gold mines of the neighboring state of Thrace so that his annual Income became far greater than that of any Greek city-state. He moved his capital down from the old hill fortress to a city in the plains nearer the sea-coast and Greece. By bribery, trickery, and a little fighting he secured for his shut-in nation an outlet to the sea. King Philip in Greece King Philip was very anxious to To accomplish this, he hired agents in the various Greek cities, who Were. to work up a sentiment in favor of him and to persuade the Greeks to turn to him in time of trouble. By means of this propaganda Philip soon began to acquire great influence over the Greeks. He used to say that there was no town which he could not capture if he could once get a mule load of gold inside its rates. So for twenty years he steadily and secretly extended his sway over Greece. De mosthenes, the famous Athenian ora tor, tried to awaken the city-states to the danger which threatened their In dependence from the powerful Philip, but most of the Greek citiee were more Influenced by Philip's money and promises than by the fiery denuncia tions of Demosthenes. Only a few Greek states resisted the allurement of Macedonian alliance, chief among them being Thebes and Athens, which finally united their armies against f him. Philip met them in the decis ive battle of Chaerones, near Thebes, and utterly defeated them. After that King Philip was supreme In Greece. fi. Philip's Persian Plana His next, great ambition was to make a. campaign against Persia. For this undertaking he aroused the enthusiams of the subjugated Greeks and secured their cooperation. But in the midst of these plana he was struck down by an assassin's dagger during a wedding feast. To hia son, Alexander, he left a united Macedo nia, a highly trained army, a treas ure of gold, a conquered Greece, aa'J i the plana for the conquest of Persia. ! Surely Philip II dVseTvea a large share in the fame of Alexander the Great The Greatness of Philip II Philip was far from being an ideal character. He was coarse in hia pleasures, given to gluttony and over drinking, and unscrupulous in his methods. Rut he had other traits which make us inclined to overlook his failinga. He had unbounded en ergy, unusual resourcefulness, cun ning insight, and great control over other men. He set out to accomplish an end which seemed impossible, but in the course of his short reign of twenty-three years, he achieved the impossible and set a new goal for hia ambition, which only death could check. Philip II certainly earned for, himself a place among the world's i great doers of deeds. Atlantic and Pacific coasta. It is specified in the rulea that the items of expense vhich will be paid by the Board of Education are the railroad fare from either Racine or the teach er's home to the city in which the institution is located, tuition, board and lodging. Y. W. C. A. With the very interesting subject, "Sham and Reality," and Miss Saun ders as leader, the second division of the Y. W. C. A. had an unusually good meeting. An illustrative story was told by our leader which revealed to us juHt how much "sham" is be ing displayed in the Uvea of the ma jority of the people of today and how little "reality."
