ROOM FOR GUESTS

A room in the basement of the city library is now available for Greencastle's flood guests. Prof. Paul Boston states. This room will be used exclusively by our guests from southern Indiana for reading, recreation,

and visiting purposes.

This will enable those from the Good zone, visiting here, to talk over their mutual problems and get acquainted with a minimum of interfer-

Society News Woman's Union To Meet Friday The Woman’s Union of the First Christian church will meet Friday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock in the church parlors. Section One will have the devotions. A good attendance is desired. Professor Tilden Speaks At A. A. U. W. Meeting Members of the Greencastle branch of A. A. U. W. met Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. YVildman for the January meeting. A traveling exhibit of contemporary American prints composed of etchings, lithographs and woodcuts attracted considerable attention. “The Social Phases of Literature,” was the subject of a very interesting talk by Professor Tilden. First he brought out the fact that there are many ways of looking at literature, such as the appreciative point of view which doesn’t describe a thing as definitely good or bad, the historical and then the considering of a piece of literature from the standpoint of construction. We must understand the idea which the author tried to express because we find such varying comments. Professor Tilden briefly discussed several recent books on literary criticism as to their different viewpoints. This group, he said, represent what is happening in America. It is a new phase in our thinking about literature. Nothing is said about style but about what the author has to

say.

Then the speaker mentioned several of the most important writers of this period in America since 1890. as Hamlin Garland. Jack London, David

Health Commissioner

Rodman Ix’avell said he believed 200 persons have died since the Ohio first swept over its banks into the city. There are at least 2,900 more cases of illness than normal, he said. While the Ohio river hovered, apparently at a standstill, at 57 feet, and the weather bureaus forecast rain or snow with rising temperatures, the homeless crowded into every available shelter. A thousand of them slept on cots in the national guard armory. Airplane hangars and theaters were used as relief stations.

Graham Phillips. Frank Norris, Robert Herrick. William Allen White and Doj-othy Canfield Fisher. The significant author, he said, believes in writing what will make life better for its having been written. People are tired of reading about themselves. Professor Tilden feels, consequently the present novels are romantic or historical as “Anthony Adverse’ ’and “Gone With the Wind.” Books are successful because they are what the public wants at the time. So when reading we should ask ourselves when and how and why the book was written. + + ++ + + 1.+ Sorority Members Enjoy Pitch-In Supper Members of Kappa Delta Phi Sorority and their patroness Mrs. W.
