Meeting in 
lVianchester 
Wednesday evening the first 1cet- 
ing ot the Parent-'leachers Associa- 
tion, Manchester, this season, was 
held in the assembly hall ot tae Price 
school. ‘The president, Mrs. Hattie 
Baker, opened the meeting with a 
few words of welcome and appreci- 
lation for the large attendance. 
Supt. Mackin announced the first 
number of the program, -which 
was a vocal solo by Mrs. Alice Lee. 
Her song, ‘‘An Autumn Lullaby”’ 
was well received. Miss Audrey Cal- 
den was Mrs. Lee’s accompanist. 
Mr. Mackin then introduced Rev. 
Frederick J. Libby, former pastor of 
the Union Congregational church of 
Magnolia, who has but recently re- 
turned from an _ extended trip 
abroad. , 
Rey. Mr. Libby had chosen as his 
subject, ‘‘Colleges I Have Visited,’’ 
—upon which he was very well quali- 
fied to speak as he has in his broad 
travels not only visited many of the 
eminent universities, but also those 
of smaller fame. Mr. Libby could

speak, not only as a casual visitor, 
but as one who has been a part of 
the college lite at many places. in 
speaking of the university lie in 
Germany, Mr. Libby took as his ex- 
ampie the University of Marburg. 
Freed from the strict routine of the 
school room, the German boy enjoys 
his freedom at a university to the 
greatest extent. The first two years 
of his college course are almost in- 
variably devoted to his corps, which 
corresponds to an American frater- 
nity. The drinking bouts and prac- 
tice duels consume a greater part of 
the days and nights and the college 
man of Germany has little time for 
study during the first two years of 
his course, but in the last two he has 
to make up for the time he has lost, 
for at the end of his course he must 
pass final examinations on all the 
subjects in which he is registered. 
Mr. Libby constrasted the differ- 
ence of college life in England with 
that of Germany. Taking Oxford as 
the representative English univer-

Do the Children Wear 
“Cadet Hosiery”? 
Scientific Stockings for Men, Women and 
Children 
“Cadet Stockings’’ are especially recommended for boys and girls be- 
cause they are the strongest and most durable it is possible to produce. 
They stand the strenuous wear and tear of the children and the grown- 
ups for they are reinforced with linen — the toughest fibre known.

All colors and sizes for men, women and 
sity, Mr. Libby spoke particularly of 
the difference in the amount and 
regularity of exercise between the 
student at Marburg and at Oxford. 
Athletics form a small part of the 
life in Germany, while in England 
no college man will be found study- — 
ing, or participating in social duties, 
between the hours of two and four, 
which are set apart for exercise. The 
great diversity of sports which Ox- 
fords affords, and the number of — 
colleges comprising the University 
make it possible for every man to 
take an active part in some sport. 
Mr. Libby spoke of the delightful | 
sociability of Oxford and described 
the average day of an Oxford man. 
The day in England begins late and 
nobody breakfasts before eight 
o’clock and the first lecture is at 
nine. At one the students lunch in 
their rooms, one fellow inviting a 
number of his friends to have lun- — 
cheon with him. This pleasant cus- 
tom goes far toward promoting the 
good fellowship and the college spirit 
at Oxford. In the afternoon,, after 
exercise, English men indulge in af- 
ternoon tea and then find an hour 
for study before dinner, which is the 
only really formal meal of the day. |
