I CHRISTIAN CHIESETO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS Chinese students who are spending- their first Christmas here in Ameri- ca are finding festivities quite differ- ent than those enjoyed in their na- tive land. dIIome r f }; SUGAR BOs L mr ---- PHONE 102$-W rI Sing Christmas Carols Perhaps the most interesting of Chi- STUDENTS, STORE TO las T 'WERE ONE OF 'ACH 'ENO3 THE COM- WE CAN'T DO SEA ]HRISTMAS FOR ALL EEP APPRECIA- )ENCE BESTOW- AND PLEDGE q SERVING OUR nese Christmas celebrations is the "Street Children's Day" carried on by: the Christian schools. On that day each school undertakes to give all the poor children of an assigned district a basket of fruit, gum, soap, etc. The street children gather for about two hours in the school building to be en- tertained by Christmas carols, and poems which ghave been translated from the. English and learned by the~ more intelligent pupils. In this way many children are influenced to attend school. Non-christian as well as Christian pupils exchange gifts but the latter give much -less expensive ones in order to have bnough money left over for the poor. Christmas trees, Santa Claus, and the hanging up of stockings are as much in evidence in Chinese Christian homes as they are here. New Year Unique Event The Chinese New' Year is most unique. On that day - every child is supposed to receive an entire new wardrobe. In the morning right after breakfast, the children, dressed in their new clothes, go before their par- ents and receive a piece-of money, us- ually equal to about one dollar, wrap- ped in red paper. Then the children1 bow in acknowledgment of the par- ents' gifts. The breakfast part is very1 important, for if a child goes with- out it he will have bad luck through the entire year. - Parades are given by the poorer class and the rich are supposed to be lenient and generous in their re- sponse. The rest of the day is spent. in visiting relatives and friends, or in enjoying music at home. SHARFMAN URGES TRAINING IN EXPRESSION TO ATHENA "Self expression is the ultimate aim of almost all individuals and institu- tions. Training in public speaking, since it develops ability in oral self expression, is useful not only to the professional, but to those in every walk of life," said Prof. I. Leo Sharf- man, of the Economics department, Tuesday night at Athena's first open meeting. Physical, victory over Germany left a great task for statesmen, and for leaders in every community, he said. They must use their persuasive pow- er to make popular the best plans for carrying out the issues for which we fought, and to put them into ef- fect. Training in public speaking, he declared,ods essential. REV. L. C.
