Mrs. F. 1. Sheed '/
Addresses College
For Second Time
"The Chureh has encouraged a
greater liberty for women than
any other institution," was the
sentence which, perhaps, more
than any other expresses the key­note
of Mrs. Francis J. Sheed's
lecture at Nazareth College on
Thursday. Mrs. Sheed addressed
the student body on "The Catholic
Girl in the Modern World."
To stress the Chureh's import­ance
as a winner of women's
rights, Mrs. Sheed spoke of the
!!-Bints. "Every man saint," she
!!-Bid, "has had feminine co-oper­ation"
and "the women of the
Church have worked with men and
have been the inspiration of men."
She cited as examples St. Bene_
dict and St. Scholastica, St. John
of the Cross and St. Teresa, the
CUn! d' An and St. Philomena.
In sharp contrast, Mrs. Sheed
pointed out the "feminine de­corum"
of the nineteenth century
when it was held that "women
exist in order to get married." She
spoke of Charlotte Bronte's "mad­dened
exasperation" because of it,
of Jane Austen's humorous treat­ment
of it and of George Eliot's
open rebellion. George Eliot, she
said, broke not only convention
but commandment. It is import­ant
for us to make that fine dis­tinction
today. Our modern con­ventions
are not, fortunately, 80
rigid as those of the last century
but, as Mrs. Sheed humorously
pointed out, kissing one's husband
on the top of a 'bus will be
frowned upon even in this en­lightened
age. The breaking of
a commandment, however, is a
serious matter and no era will
ever make it Ie!!.'! serious.
As Mrs. Sheed speaks, one is
particularly impressed by her
great Catholicity, her love of tra­dition
and her pride in ancestry,
both of the latter characteristic­ally
English.
Juniors To Sponsor
"Little Women"
At Palace Theatre
After some time of waiting, we
are finally going to have the op­portunity
to see Louisa May Al_
cott's long-famed novel come to
life on the screen. The Palace
Theatre has booked this picture,
with such delightful staTS at Kath_
erine Hepburn and the charming
young actn!Ss, Jean Parker, for
early December.
The Junior Class i$ proud to an·
nounce that it has obtained all the
necessary permi.ssions which will
allow it to sponsor "Little
Women" for the entire week. Of
course, we're counting on each of
you to help. When we undertook
this project, it was with the
thought thst everyone of you
would support us. We are plac­ing
this second only to the game.
It won't interfere with the game
in any way because we know that
young and old have already
planned to see this movie.
Lucia Vetter heads a large com_
mittee of Juniors who are plan­ning
for the movie, with Betty
Frank and Mary Doyle in charge
of publicity.
Once again, we, the Juniors,
earnestly solict your support; we
want you to realize that our s uc­cess
is success for the College snd
that, of course, is foremost in the
minds of al1 of us! Let's go, then,
students of Nazareth College, to
make the game, the ball, the
movie and every other activity we
undertake a tremendous success!
H. M. C., '35.
Mrs. Sheed is the wife of
Francis J. Sheed of the publishing
house of Sheed and Ward of Lon­don
and New York. Her grand­father,
the late William George
Ward, was one of the leaders of
the Oxford Movement and a con­vert
to the Catholic Church. With
her husband, MTS. Sheed has been
an outstanding figure in the Cath·
olic Evidence Guild, both here and
in England.
Stadium and Civic Center
To Be Scenes of Events
On Thanksgiving Day
All plans for Thanksgiving Day,
in so far as it cncerns the college,
have been made final. The foot·
ball game between Notre Dame
"B" and St. Bonaventure will take
place in the Red Wing Stadium at
1 :45 o'clock on Thanksgiving Day,
November 30. The Ball will be
held the same night at the Colum­bus
Civic Center from ten tm two.
Salt Smith's orehestra will play.
Enthusiasm is running high in
all quarters. Miss Lillian Rossen­bach,
chairman of the ticket com_
mittee, and Miss Marcella Reich­enberger,
chairman of the sub_
committee in charge of the boxes,
report that the ticket.s are selling
well.
Agencies have been opened at
the Columbus Civic Center, the
Odenbach Coffee Shoppe and the
Powers Hotel where the dummy
tickets may be exchanged for re­served
seat tickets. Students and
alumnae are in charge of the
agencies, which are open daily ex­cept
Sundays.
Publicity for the game has been
gained by the co·operation of the
city's various newspapers. And
we know that our best publicity­knowledge
of the game imparted
by the students and alumnae­will
not be lacking.
November 30 is not far away
now. And we shall expect to see
ever)' student and every alumna
of Nazareth College st the Red
Wing Stadium. We are already
planning the greater Nazareth, we
can see it in our minds. There­fore,
let us make our first step
toward it a la rge and courageous
one.
Dance
The frenzied excitement of
Thanksgiving afternoon will give
way to gaiety snd soft music at
night. The Columhus Civic Cen­ter
will be the scene of the dance
and the rhythms of Sax Smith will
keep us dancing from ten till two.
Although the dance has been
somewhat overshadowed by the
game, that is probably natural
enough-after all, we have had
dances before but this is our first
football game! Nevertheless, the
dance is important, too. It is a
part of the College's biggest
Thanksgiving Day as wel1 as a
function upon which the success
of the Building Fund largely de·
pends.
The members of both teams
have been invited to be guests of
honor at the ball. And the dool'
prize will be a further proof that
Nazareth is becoming football­conscious.
It is to be the football
used in the game and it will be
autographed by all the players.
Helen Howland is general chair­man
of the ball. She will be
assisted by John Dorsche!, George
Whelehan, Alfred Briggan, Joseph
McMann, and Thomas Lynch of
the arrangements committee
Catherine Hock is chairman of the
ballroom committee and she will
be aided by J osephine Koch. Betty
Randall is in charge of the tickets.
Her committee consists of a num­of
alumnae and students, includ·
ing the following: Margaret Ellen
Bennett, Mary Fraher, Betsy
Jones, Emily Knoll, Frances Leach,
Dorothy Lucas, Estelle Meehan,
Genevieve Meisenzahl, Grace Mur­ray,
Mary O'Rei11y. Cyrilla Stanel
and Doris Webber. Gladys Englert
is in charge of the decorations.
Alma Lou Ginnity, assisted hy
Mary Moran, is chairman of the
publicity committee.
The tickets for the ball are ex·
empt from the tax and their price
is one dollar and fifty cents. They
may be purchased from any memo
ber of the ticket committee.

Sister M. Paulette
Addresses Meeting
Of N. C. C. W.
Council Held at Civic Center
"Charity is doing something for
our fellow men, social work is the
way of doing it" thus Sister M.
Paulette, hOlad of the department
of Social Service at Nazareth Col­lege
addrOlSSOld the third annual
meeting of the Rochester Diocesan
Council of the N. C. C. W. which
met at the Columbus Civic Center
during October.
Those of us who are particu­larly
interested in that field well
recall the distinction. Many of
her hearers, pm·hap., although
they knew there was a difference,
never had put it in so many words.
Sister then pointed out the con­nection
between sociology and
Catholic charity in its broadest
sense: "Charity includes every­thing
we do {or OUr fOlllow men
{or the love of God , without re­gard
for material compensation"
while "social work is something
more than a mere handing-out ..
its duty is to help the handicapped
to help himself so t hat he may
take h1$ place in the responsible
group called society." Charity,
then, really applies the Golden
Rule.
Besides Sister Paulette, Father
Byrne of St. Bernard's Seminary
lectured on "Early Missionaries of
Western New York."
Father Randall of St. Patrick's
Cathedral talked on the theatre,
stressing the need for suitable
dramatic productions and asking
for support for the newly formed
Catholic Theatre Guild of Roches_
ter.
Finally, Miss Caroline Ruth
Doran of the Elmira Star Gazette
lectured on "The NRA and the
N. C. C. W." Miss Doran urged
organizations to work together
and to put aside all personal ambi­tion
for the good of the great
cause--Catholic Action. She said
that every Catholic man and
woman should become well ac­quainted
with the Encyclicals of
Pope Leo XIII and Pope Pius XI.
This latter part may be a gentle
hint to us as members of a Catho­lic
college. How well we know
our religion and how hard we
strive to know it beller while we
have the opportunity will some
time be shown. As women in the
world, we shal! have to take our
plaOle with all creeds and kinds.
Will we be a credit to our college?
Certainly not if we are lacking in
knowledge of the fundamental
principles of our rel igion. When
we stop to think it over, it en_
livens us, it make us resolve to be
better diaciple3.
At the end of Miss Doran's talk
THE GLEA NE R
Father O'Mailia
./ Conducts Retreat
Each year Retreat time affords
us an opportunity to look into
ourselves-to find out what we're
worth spiritually. To some it is,
perhaps, a revelation-they never
t hought of themselves as they
are--while to others, it means
that they knew and now admit it,
promising to be better.
This year the Reverend Myles
O'Mailia, S:;1., our Ret reat Master,
a man of great s pirituality, gave
above all thing~ one of the ' most
practical Retreats that could be
given. Every utterance could be
applied to our daily lives-noth­ing
was meant, as we like to say,
"for somebody else"-on the con­trary,
it was meant for us and
we knew it. We were made to
feel more proud than ever before
of our immortal souls, "Creation
by God," and with earnestness we
said,
"Divine Master, throw upon our
hearts the search· light of Thy all­seeing
eye, that we may know the
weaknesses that have made our
lives imperfect in Thy sight."
With this plea before lis, we
began our Retreat on October 23,
and ended it two days later with
a conviction that our prayer had
been heard.
Devotion to Our Lady and to
t he Sacred Heart were urged. In
his talks, Father stressed the sole
purpose of our life here on earth,
the saving of our souls. We were
told that Eternity is only OUr de­layed
reward for service to God.
Service of God is merely "Lively
Faith" and " Deep Humility." The
proper use of creatures and their
importance eount only in so far
as t hey lead us to God.
And finally Retreat closed with
Father O'Mailia's inspiring char­acterization
of the ideal Nazareth
College woman. It was inspiring
and uplifting and yet at t he same
time so possible that we returned
from "three days apart" to an
uncertain world, unafraid and
ready to go on.

. Catholic Theatre
v Guild Formed
A Catholic Theatre Guild has
been formed in Rochester with
Rev. John Randsll of St. Patrick's
Cathedral in charge. "To furnish
an opportunity for the develop��ment
'of dramatic talent among
interested Catholics and to pro­vide
Catholic theatregoers with
entertainment in keeping with
Catholic principles," is the pur­]
lose of t he Guild, according to
Father Randall.
More t han twenty actors, both
professional and anlateur, are al­ready
mOlmbers of the Guild.
Productions will be held at the
Cathedral Hall, Plymouth Avenue
North and Brown Street. Miss
Amy LaVigne Hutchinson is direc­tor
of the Guild and the stage
construction will be supervised by
Michael Mungovan, stage man·
ager of Lowe's Rochester Theatre.
Miss Marion O'Neil of the Col­lege
faculty will play the role of
Delia Duffy and Dorothy Hill
Dunne of the Senior Class also has
a pal-t in the Guild's first produc­tion,
Lennox Robinson's " White­headed
Boy," which will be pre­sented
Novembel' ~ 1 and 22.
We who know of Miss O'Neil's
and Miss Dunne's splendid drama­tic
ability are looking forward to
"The Whiteheaded Boy." We hope
that we shall have t he pleasure of
seeing more of Nazareth's students
in the Guild's forthcoming produc­tions.
This is an excellent oppor­tunity
not only to express the de­sire
to act but also to promote
Catholic Action. Father Randall
asks all interested to send their
names to him.

Catholic Evidence
v Library Opens
It is with a feeling of just pride
that we read the announcement of
the opening of the Catholic Evi_
dence Library, which is being con_
ducted in t he Library Room of the
Columbus Civic Center. The
Reverend Benedict Ehmann has
been named director. The library
contains a very good selection of
books on religion, philosophy,
poetry, essays, novels and other
subjects.
It is open on Monday, Wednes­day
and F riday from 3 :30 to [; :30
and from 7 :00 to 9:30 P. M. and
on Sunday from 3:30 to 5 :30 P.M .
All who are eighteen years of
age and over are privileged to
patronize it. This is extended to
non_Catholics as well as to Cath­olics.
It has a special appeal for us
at Nazareth College because our
own librarian, Miss Marcella
Reichenberger, as well as other
membcrs of our alumnae sre
numbcred among those who have
volunteered t heir services.
We sincerely hope that it will
grow with the years and thl!t
Archbishop-Bishop
v Visits College
His Excellency Archbishop-Bshop
Edward Mooney vis ited Nazareth
College on October 20 for t he first
time since his appointment 9.S
Bishop of Rochester.
The Dean introduced him to the
student body and he was welcomed
by Harriet Hoock, '34, in the name
of the college. The Glee Club sang
a hymn, "ECOle Magnos Sacerdos,".
composed in his honor by Sister
M. Irmina. His ExOlellency spoke
to us on what he expects. from
every Catholic school in Rochester
and particularly from us as the
city's one Catholic college. Miss
Margaret Blumrick, '34, presented
him with a spiritual bouquet and
His Excellency gave his blessing
to the faculty and student body.
Membcn of t he faculty were
later introduced to Archbishop
Mooney and a copy of last month's
Gleunel', which was dedicated to
him, was presented.

the Red Men roamed t his glori­ous

Football !
Thanksgiving Day is almost here. And that
means to most of us one important thing. The
Foolball Game! For weeb we have talked about
it, thought about it, .sold tickets for it. We have
been told of our school spirit. It is the .spirit of
a college, its students' rove, support and enthusi_
asm, that makes a college a <:ollege. Without
school spirit, there can be nothing-sll efforh are
necenarily half_hearted and all attempts are with­out
r eault.
Nazareth has always been proud of her school
spi rit. Now the most splendid opportunity for
manifesting OUr loyalty to our college is being
offered to us. Never before has the college under­taken
to great a project. And surely we cannot
fail her now.
We know that the Dean expects everyone of us
to give all of our school spirit. We cannot give
too much. Rather, we must be afraid of giving
too little. We know that our college is worthy of
all that we can possibly do for her. She has
refused u.!! nothing-always hM ahe been more
than generous. Now she ash something from us.
What will our answer be? Are we to ignore her
plea or are we to fulfill her faith in us with un_
swerving loyalty!
Let us., therefore, support the game and the ball,
let ua work for them to the best of our ability, let
UB, in fine, make the college', greatest undertaking
her most brilliant success.
Inflation
One of the major problema that Congresa will face
at the beginning of its session is the question of
inflation. This issue has been edsttng in a latent
.tate since last spring when Congresa gave Presi­dent
Roosevelt discretionary power to increase the
amount of cur rency in the United States. At the
present time the controverlly over inflation hss en­tered
a very serious stage. Cotton groweu of eleven
states have demanded a higher price level for their
cotton, to be obtained by increasing the cu rrency.
The word "inflation" Munds te r rifying to some.
But did the country not experience it in 1928! In­flation
simply mean.s more cireulating medium,
more money i$.!lued and circulated. In 1928 com­moditict
were higher but we had money to buy
them. Money was cheaper then and we had plenty
of it, therefore wages were higher and thcre was
enough money to pay them.
When did we live better and happier-in the
THE GLEANER
yean immediately preceding 1928 or in the dismal
days after it? And what is deflation! It i. a contrac·
tion of t he medium of exchange, that is fewer gov_
ernment notea, bill. of exchange, checks and drafts,
gold and bank notes. We have experienced in the
economic depression a diminution of the circulating
medium which has made the dollar dearer, more
scarce and more difficult to earn. The I)Urchasing
power of these dollars is great but their number Is
too .small .
The great indu.striali.sts and banken Bay that
inflation il not good and is, in fact, very bad for
the country. This is true, but not when, in speaking
of inflation, one Is careful to qualify it by the word
"controlled." The P resident should be the agilnt of
control. This can be done in two ways. Cireulating
medium ;.s composed of two elements: actual cur­rency,
consisting of gold and bank and government
notes, and dcposit currency, including checks, bills
of exchange and drafts. The cireulating medium
can be increased either by increasing the deposit
currency through casier credit, or by increasing
the actual amount of governmental CUl"rency in cir ­culation
in the country.
On the other hand, the agricultural class \. talk­ing
of new marches and strikes and demanding
inflation with a louder voice than ever. The farmcr'.
purehasing power has increased slightly but it does
him no good, for he finds that the NRA codes have
increased coata of produdion in other fields to .such
a point that the disparity between his profits and the
price.s of t he commodities he buys has never been so
great. It is that which has aroused the farmen to
demand inflation. In this case, it is clcarly the
problem of President Roosevelt and General J ohnson
to find a way to koop the industrial and agricultural
prices on the same level.
The money lending classes benefit very much in­deed
in a p·erlod of dcflation. If a man who lends
money in time of inflation, when the dollar has a
definite value, is paid in time of deflation, when
the doltar has twice that value, he receives twice as
much a l he lent plus the interest. The bankers and
industrialista will always say that inflation is a
danguous experiment, but did not our government
bring it about after the Civil War and benefit
greatly by it?
Therefon!, when Congre!!S convenes and this great
political iSSue of the day is settled, let UB hope that
the country w!ll have enough controlled inflstion to
obtain co.ntrol of the deflation of the!Se past few
years and bring back to the Americl\n people the
happy and pl"08perous days of 1928.
Tha n ksgiving
Man is never more childlike than when he is
grsteful. He is never more humble than when he
gives thanks for that which he can not undentand.
Yet, in times of stress, we forget the great eternal
plan of God and the unmeasured debt we owe.
The wisdom of a child among the nations gave
Americans their most beautiful and most Ghristian
holiday-a day on which alf men might thank the
God in Whom we place our trust for Hil lavon
and beg Him to continue them. We may well
attribute much of our national success to the
militant Christianity of our forefatheu who were
not afraid to fnce the sneers of unbelicvers that
they might proclaim their thanks to the God Who
found so little gratitude on earth.
Il our national government has much to be
thsnkful for, how great is the debt of each citi zen
under its sway. ThOle who have never entered
into the spirit of Thanksgiving Day should re<:all
the words of Edwin Arlington Robinson:
"Pir.t, 1 wONld lwv/I I/0u. l"1Ww, fOI' eve>1/" gift
Or sa crifice, tlaer/l al'e---cr there mall be
Two ki"ds 01 gratitude; the sudden kind
IV/I f eel lor what we take, tlae larger kind

while tho!e who have long known and loved it,
should give thllnks to God that they were born
citizens of a Christian nation.

TILe Tall.".,

New Rochelle, N. Y.
If you would be consistently
American, PUl"gil your speech of
that "mealy-mouthed British neo­logism,"
urges an editorial. Per­haps,
this explanation will clear
the atmosphere:
"Although English people find it
perfectly correct and be<:oming to
say 'aren't I" as a contraction for
'am I not,' coming from the out­spoken
inhabitantl of the U. S. A.,
'aren't I' sounds . . . kittenish.'·
We agree.
The Setoniall,
Seton Hill Col\egil,
Greensburg, Pa.
It was Clayton Hamilton, in­form.!!
Tia/l Setonian, who persuaded
Brian Hooker to translate "Cyrano
de Bergerac" and Walter Hamp_
den to produce it. Hamilton be­lieves
this play to be greater than
anyone of Shakespeare's; for,
where Shakespeare wrote a comedy
or a tragedy, Rostand conceived a
five-act drama including a faree,
a comedy, a romance, a melodrama,
and a tragedy.
"The first act, the theater seene,
is wildly farcial; the second act,
which is laid in the bnkeshop of
thc genial Ragueneau, pastry cook
and patron of al'ts, is delightful
comedy. The third act, Roxlnne's
KillS, is an exquisite bit ot romance.
The battle scene in the fourth act
is pure melodrama, and the fifth
act, Cyrano's Gazette, Is tragedy,
deeper and more poignant even
than 'Romeo and Juliet.' We say
that with reason, for in ' Romeo
and Juliet' the lovers at least knew
fulfillment, but in 'Cyrano,' 'the
hero, with an exaggerated 6ense
of honor or gallantry, guards thc
!Weret of his love until death drags
it from him."
This splendid summary, with the
spice of a new thought to give
flavor, recn'ate~ the charm of the
play for those who either read or
saw Cyrano de Bergerac.

German Education .. CLUBS .. It has often been said that a
German education ill superior to
any other. J>erhllps you have re­ceived
t his fact indifferently, a~
you have so many others, and
have never troubled yoursel! ttl
find out why it mllY be superior_
And you may have been even incl'J!­dulous
conct!Tning such a statement.
I do not pretend to be lin author­ity
on the subjcct but, since I
hllve spcnt six ycan in a Cerll)lIn
Ichool, I fecI that I am able to
give some idea of the present day
German school aystem.
The private sehoolr begin at
eight o'clock in the morning in
summer and at nine o'elock in
winter; the public schools begin
one hour earlier. School never
closes later than one o'clock ex­cept,
perhaps, once or twice a
week, according to classes. It ia a
wise thing not to have classes late
in the afternoon because children,
CSllecially young ones, t ire very
easily in school and they need to
go out in the afternoon sunsbine
to play and enjoy t hemselves.
However, there are aeuions on
SalurdaYll and the summer vaca­tions
last only six weeks. Still I
think you would prefer this
arrllngement to your own because
there are numerous vacations
throughout the year. We had two
weeks at Easter, (Euler marks
Ihe beginning of the school year)
two weeks at Pentecost, two weeks
at the end of September and two
weeks at Christmas.

The Kindergarten. or Frobel­garten
as they are called in Ger­many,
are the foundation upon
which the German school system
rests. These FrobelgllTten are at­tended
by children from two to
six years or age who are taken
care of by specially trained teach­ers.
Since the children are so
very small. each teacher calls for
her pupils in the morning and
takes them home in the afternoon.
Two and two, looking very, very
dignified and important, they fol ­low
her with army precision. At
the Frobelgarten, folk dances and
songs, needlework and handicraft
are taught, little playa are given,
long recitations have to be mas­tered
and stories, which the
tcacher has read only once, have
to be retold by the pupils with
accuracy and in detail. Great
stress is laid upon manners, and
woe to the little girl who does not
eurtaey as she comcs into the
room and who does not say good
morning to the teacher. (By the
way, girls curtsey and boys bow
to their elden until they are four­teen
years old.) It is here, then,
that the young minds are taught
to think intelligently for them­selves
and to act properly.
There are many more private
IIChools in Germany than in
America becllusc only those people
who cannot pouibly afford a pri_
VAte school education for their
children send thcm to II public
Khool. The public IIChools, con­~
i.ting of eight grades, are divided
into Volkschule, with separate
buildings for boy. and girls--the
Oberrealschule for boys and the
Lyceum for girls. Private schools
are made up of ten grades. In the
fourth grade, children of excep­tional
mental abilitie. are trall4-
ferred from the Volkschule to
either the OberrealllChule or the
Lyceum. Thus the progreu of the
more intelligent students is not
retarded by those who lire or
slower mind. You will probably
wonder why boys and girls are
sent to different schoob. German
educational authorities hold that
boys and girls lellrn more quickly
when they are Bepllrated because
a boy's though!..'! naturally differ
from thse of a girl he requires dir­ferent
methods of training and be­ca
use a certain "mount of distrac­tion
is done away with.
Boys are not taught by women
but by men. It is believed that
boys have greater respect for a
man than for a woman. The'
teachers have the right to chllstise
their pupils in whlltever way they
wish, with certain limitationll. A
good alap once in a while has
never done anyone any harm.
There ill one incident of my child­hood
that stands out very clearly
in my mind. I visited II eountry
IIChonl once and, when I did not go
to the yard with the rc~t o[ the
children during free lime, I was
3lallped so hard IIcross the cheek
that It still burns wheneve r I think
of it. Strict though the discipline
is, corporal punishment is not com_
mon in private schoola. In our
!!Chool, the greatest shame was to
be sent to the principal. I whis­pered
one word once to my neigh_
bor and was, of course, duly ac­quainted
with the office. That is
the only time in six yean that I
cver talked in clau. I am alraid,
however, that when I came to
America my teachers found me a
rather talkative little girl. But
you would taJk too if you had
been keeping still for aix years.
The manner in which work is
dIvided i ~ very similar to the way
our college work is arranged. We
had six or seven three_hour sub­je<:
ts a week with five minutes
intermiuion between the clalllles.
There were no study periodl!.
Lunchen was at ten thirty and,
except on rainy daye, had to be
eaten outside, even in winter. We
we!'e not allowed to sit down dur­ing
this period but had to walk
11.11 the time, in th"ee orderly cir_
clet around the school yllrd.

But here you are. On the right

you are in the kitchen gTeedily de­vouring

You turn to the left. Here on

On this lower shelf are the jams

have become for the nonce a gour­met
