CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES

The Thursday evening meetings held weekly in College Hall by the Association continue a popular feature of the week's entertainment. Professor C. E. Bolser spoke one week on "Campus Manners, and How They Are Changing"; Professor Licklider spoke on "The Place of the Bible in English Literature"; Dr. J. M. Gile discussed "The Opportunity for Service in Politics"; and Mr. A. Linfield, of Lincoln, N. H., told about his work among the Lumber Jacks of the White Mountains.

The Employment Bureau is reaching a high state of .efficiency and has developed the supply of positions available to a point where it just about equal? the demand for work. Card systems have been installed by which complete data is recorded regarding each man's previous experience in special or technical lines, with the view of supplying him with more than general work. The committee in charge has fixed a minimum charge of 25 cents an hour, below which employers can not engage men through the bureau.

The Tutoring Bureau is helping many a freshman low in studies, by supplying free tutors when the man cannot afford to pay for one. Statistics are not yet available, but the average of this year's freshman class at the time of mid-semester marks is said to be much higher than in past years. There may be many contributing causes, but this new organized interest in the freshman's welfare is undoubtedly helping his scholarship.

The extension department of the Association has placed men in charge of Sunday school classes near Lyme, at Beaver Meadow and at Needham's Corner. More men have applied for the work than there are districts near Hanover, and so new territory will probably be opened up soon.
