A. & T.-WILBERFORCE
DEBATE IS INTERESTING
was given in chapel on Tuesday,
April 9th. Mr. Lanier, a member
of the club, was the main speaker.
In the beginning of his talk, he
brought to onr minds the fact that
mankind and the lower animals
have always had some place that
they called "home." As civilization progressed the homes improved
and   the   domestic   a-nimals   were
moved out' of the house into shelters of their own. Mr. Lanier mentioned the bad condition of our
present-day homes, their lack of
cleanliness and sanitation. As a
remedy for the depressed situation
of some of our homes he proposed
the use of more paint for their preservation ; a greater attack on our
unsanitary habits in the home was
urged and the presence of suitable
flowers to make it attractive both
inside and out was suggested.
"Home is a place where the contacts of life are most intimate.
Creative imagination should be seen
in the home'' he stated. Two important points were mentioned in
connection with the improvement of
flowers, first, that they necessitated a generous water supply and,
secondly, sufficient assimilation.
Mr. Lanier stated. 14 points that
we must know in order to be successful with flowers and plants
after  which he. mentioned  ten  of .
