A talk on the ideals and purposes of foreign language newspapers in the United States was given to Professor Elizabeth Albach, a professor of law this morning by Henry Albach, editor of the Lawrence Democrat. He came upon invitation of the department of journalism; similar invitation extended to other Lawrence editors.
Concerning foreign language newspapers that are printed in the United States, Mr. Alibach had the following to say: "One tenth of the people in our country have no English lish and the only way to reach them is through the foreign language newspapers. These papers, with but few exceptions, are edited by the second English speaking men of foreign parentage. They give American ideals to their citizens. Business necessity would force them to do this even if their personal inclinations did not cause them to do so. Foreigners as a rule come to this country to make their homes and want to learn our language. They must rely on papers in their own tongue to give these things to them."

Chancellor E. H. Lindley gave the address at the host of First Presbyterian Church Sunday morning, giving an informal talk on "Being Good."
"Being good is not blindly conforming to a set rule," said Consecrator Lindley. He challenged anyone to be able to thoughtlessly live up to the golden rule for even one day. Being good is a state of mind thoughtfulness, and living up to our best impulses.
"Virtue is not singular, and should not be spelled with a capital letter," believes the Chancellor. "Virtue is a moral code, and how you adjust yourself to them." He urged a moral code and the living up to it. He stated that it is essential to make quick, correct decisions in every second best is a sin against diviness.
Chancellor Lindley said the man of leisure listens to his watch, and it says "tick, tick," but the busy man doesn't. He quickly quick." It is difficult for many to be able to adjust themselves to new conditions and live up to their decisions. As many students in the University of Pennsylvania attend the first years of school and quit."
