"THE MARRIAGE OF KITTY" .
TO TAKE PLAGE TONIGHT
Eighth Annual Web. Play to be Presented
February 28—Best Talent in College In
sures Success of Three-Act Comedy
The long discussed "Marriage of
V Kitty" will take place in the Col
; lege Auditorium Friday evening, Feb
ruary .8, when the Websterian De
bating Society will present ? Its
Eighth Annual Play.
"The Marriage of Kitty la a
three-act comedy by Cosmo Gordon-
Lennox. It is full of amusing sit na
tions, and from the time' that Kitty
appears attired as a simple, awk
ward, untaught, country girl until
the curtain falls with the Peruvian
widow in the center of the stage in
her th fit, the audience will be
overcome with laughter. The mer
riment will not be' continuous, for
there are times when the situation
will be teiis'r when the audience
will almost hold its breath, await
ing the final word — tin* ultimate
outcome.
"The Marriage of Kitty" is not
what is commonly termed a light or
a frivolous play. On the contrary it
affords the greatest opportunity for
dramatic acting and rare chances for
character impersonation.
"The Marriage of Kitty" is, how
ever, not a heavy play in the sense
that it is solemn and serious. it is
a genuine comedy, yet one which de
mands real dramatic ability on the
part of the players.
The cast Is composed of the best
talent in college. "Peggy" Windus,
who has taken part In me/re plays
than anyone else in college, and
whose appearance alone has become'
a sufficient guarantee of a success
ful production, will take the part of
Madame de Semiano, the Peruvian
widow. She has lately "thrown
over" the wealthy Captain Churchill
for Ned Belmont, who is said to be
a millionaire.
Miss Zelva Mecklem, who has ap
peared before in plays at W. S. C,
will be "Kitty" Friday evening. Her
work is polished and finished in its
effect, and so completely does she
fill her character that she is always
Katherine Sllverton.
The part of Ned Belmont is taken
by Lawrence Whorley. He is deeply
and Insanely in love with Madame de
Semiano, but by the time they have
traveled over Europe together for a
year, he has changed his mind some-
whit. Her fits .if hysterics get on
his nerves. He s_'r* tires of mm.
. istnrlns to a helples?. sickly, rheu
matic individual. When he arrives
at home to arrange for the divorce,
he sees his wife as a beautiful and
attractive woman of charming man

households of England that he is pre

Consequently he evidences but little
surprise at anything that transpire*.
He carries himself admirably, and is
attentive and obedient.

and businesslike, and appears as ii'
he might have received a thorough
training in a metropolitan law office.
"The Marriage of Kitty" is to be
staged under the capable direction of
Miss Augusta Rosiskey, whose suc
cessful coaching of past plays has
brought dramatics at W. S. C. to Its
present high standard. Miss Rozis

play for the past two years. This is
the third Web play which has been
presented under her direction. Much
of the success of the play will be due

i hi; EDUCATION that FITS FOR
LIFE
Theoretically, we are all agreed
that the only real education is that
Which fits the-child for tho life it is
to live, Generally we Interpret life
as -gettrhg « living," but there ls a
good deal more in education than fit
ting the child to get a living. "Is
not life more than meat, and the
body more than raiment?"
There are two things involved in
education. One is the drawing out
or developing, the perfecting of the
workings of that piece of machinery
in use that we call the mind; so
training it that we can think clearly
and cogently and accurately. The
other is the connecting of the think
ings of the educated person with his
actual business in life, so that he can
make the work of bis hands not
merely profitable, but pleasurable.
Educator, are prone to insist on
the first kind of education as the
only real education. Now, we can
not well overestimate the importance
to that development of the mind that
will enable a man to use his brain to
thie best advantage; but the theory
that when a man is (bus educated
ho is competent to deal with any
problem of life that may come up
lucks a good deal of working out in
practice. There are plenty of men
who can solve accurately almost any
problem that may come up, speak in
several languages, are familiar with
a half dozen sciences—and yet are
not able to turn these to any prac
tical account in dealing with the
pioblems of life. Educators are
further very much inclined to the
belief thai the training of the mind
which they call culture can be best
obtained by the study of higher
mathematics, metaphysics, languages,
etc. They forget that there' is a vast
amount of training or culture to be
secured by studying things that have
. very practical bearing on the prob
lems of everyday life. If education
Is to fit us for life, we must not only
have the development of the powers
of the mind, but the capacity or abil
ity to apply these powers to the
everyday problems of existence.
lt must not be forgotten that there
pre vast numbers of people who can
not lake this higher education, as it
Is called; whose brains seem to be*
in their hands rather than In their
heads; win. can by no process that
was ever devised be so educated as to
ass an examination for graduation
from a high school or for entrance
into a college. In fact, the majority
of the young people born are of pre
cisely that class, and to attempt to
educate them for what nature did
not fit them for is simply throwing
time and money away, and unfitting
them for the real work of life.
The Interests of the state demand
that these people should have an in
dustrial education or an agricultural
education, an education in the line of
their life* work. If this be true, then
our present system of education ls
terribly lopsided, and will be until
we learn that life is a very broad
thing, that the natural powers of the
human mind are as varied as the oc
cupations of , men.
Therefore, if we are to have educa
tion that fits for life we must have
education that fits not the few for
the life they are to live, but the
many. In most of our western
state's, our system of education is a
pyramid, but it is trying to stand on
its top instead of on the broad
foundation, A broad foundation can
not be built by an agricultural col
lege, a university and a normal
school. It must be laid in the schools
of the open country and in the com
mon schools of the cities and the
towns. —Wallaces' Farmer, Dcs

A joy ride for baby!
Think you he doesn't have pride in the
appearance of the cart he "drives" about in.
i Let him ride a while in one of these beauti
ful cool summer time carts. Then try him in
the old one again and see him kick.
. He knows what looks best and he wants it
as much as you.
These new folding carts at low prices are
wonderful examples of artistic designing.
You'll admire them. So will your friends when
your baby is in one.
