TALKS ON J. MASEFIELD
Professor Clarke Tells Audience of His Productions and Eccentricities.
George Herbert Clarke, professor of English in the University of Tennessee, lectured on John Massefield in the chapel of Fraser Hall yesterday at 4:30 o'clock. Professor Clarke gave tabloid extracts from a lecture given by the English poet at the University of Tennessee several years ago.
Masefield is a poet of extremes and to show the marked contrast in his production, Prof. Clark read a selection from *From the Beginning* by Bridget Jones, in opposition to that dramatic situation he read a pastoral sonnet. His poems illustrate his ideas of religion and lives of the people. At greatest depth, he imagined a change but would no doubt be Pantheistic.
Masefield admits that his literary heroies Thomas Hardy and although he is pronounced influenced by him, the poet caught the gloom of his favorite more than any other characteristic. The two plays, "The Tragedy of Man" and "Philip the King" contain many Harydisms.
His lyrics indicate the poet's love of nature; "The West Wind" and "The Call of the Sea" are the most popular. The four poems that will lend permanent value to literature are "Daffodils," "The Widow in Bye Street," "Dauber," and "The Everlasting Mercy."
Extend Time for Senior Dues
The time in which the members of the senior class may pay their dues has been ceased. Mr. Harold Carack, chariman of the committee, this will rush the class some in deciding how the money shall be spent but owing to the fact that several of the committee have been sick and were unable to look after lessons, it was thought he should be moved. Then he added, "Perhaps collections will be better after vacation."
Extend Time for Senior Dues

OSBORNE PLAN LAUDEI
Prof, Clarke Says Prison Reform is Great Success in Sing Sing Penitentiary
"Thomas Mott Osborne's new method of handling prisoners is a great success in Sing Sing penitentiary; my recent visit to the prison I made a painstaking investigation of conditions there, firmly convinced me of this," declared Prof. Herbert Clarke, of the University of Tennessee, in an address yesterday evening at University club smoker given in his honor.
"Mr. Osborne impressed me as a man with a big brain and an even bigger heart—a man who is doing his work purely for the sake of the humanity, think of him and his work is illustrated by the reply of one of the convicts whom I asked what would happen if the old method of procedure at work was reverted to. His answer was, The would be he to pay, Mr. Clarke.
After Professor Clarke had concluded his remarks, he suggested that Dean F. W. Blackmar talk because of his intimate knowledge of penal situation in the old West and the most natural home to society when he is cured. The trouble is that, although we admit that the criminal is governed by too much individual freedom, he allows him to speak to nobody for a term of years and so cultivate in him ten times the individualism with which he started out, and then turn him loose on society at the end of his life. He dreamed that he shall take his proper place in our social system.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR PRISONERS "Nearly every night." Professor Clarke continued, "an entreatment is given to the prisoners of the womb, of whom there are more than 1,700. Because of the small auditorium, they are divided into two squalls. The worst cells are seven and a half feet long by four and a half foot wide. The sanitary conditions frightful, as is common in the south. The Georgia is typical of the south. The prisoners there work in chain gangs."
OLD SYSTEM AILED
"Susan a system which a treatment is dazed by much helpless; in fact, mentally and morally incapable of adjusting himself to the new state of affairs.
The result is that he usually drifts back to the penitentiary."
OLD SYSTEM ALL WRONG
Forty attended the smoker. Among those present were: Chancellor Frank Strong, Fearn F. W. Blackmar, Dean Olin Templin, Pearn F. P. Walker, Dr. John Sundwall, Dr. S. A. Matthews, Prof. Arthur Nevin, Prof. R. M. Ogden, Prof. C. G. Dunlap, and Prof. H. C. Thurnau.

Heretofore the president has delivered messages to congress only over the most critical situations and both times, after the delivering of a message by Presidents Madison and Polk, a declaration of war followed.
The appearance of the president upon the floor of congress closely resembles that of John Adams when after a long diplomatic controversy with France, he sent a strong message to congress demanding a settlement of the controversy. The outcome of the whole during the Adams administration on page 3)
