GROWING DEMAND FOR RELIGIOUS WORKERS IN U. S.
Dr. Hill Says Twelve Persons From Religious Education Department Placed
OTHER CALLS UNSUPPLIED
Paid
Estimate That 40,000 Church Workers Can Be Placed in Five Years
Despite the fact that he had just lost his $7.00 fountain pen, his note book, and a few other articles, too numerous to mention. Dr. John Hill, who was preparing a lecture to be given, within a few hours before a Pasadena audience, paused long enough to speak a good word for the work of the Religious Educational Department of U. S. C.. of which he is the dean.
“Already this fall, since the opening of school, twelve persons from the department of religious education have been placed on good salaries in as many churches, and a dozen other calls still remain unsupplied for want of trained workers ready to take the positions.
“Leaders in the field of Rel'gious Education estimate that no less than
40,000	paid church workers can be placed within the next five years. In order to meet this growing demand.” Dr. Hill says, “It is hoped that the brightest and best young people in our colleges will take the training and be ready for some of these positions.” "The world today is hanging its fate upon the educational method in securing what It wants for the future. Big business men, for instance, are advertising: Men wanted; no experience necessary; We teach you. The church is turning to the educational method aa the hope of securing definite religious results and “the discovering, the training, and the placing of church leadership is the need of the hour.”
“In keeping with this educational trend, U. S. C., in its department of religious education, is preparing to train leaders, modernly and thoroughly equipped, for the foreign mission fields; the home fields; for religious directorships; pastor’s assistants; church secretaries; women workers; association workers; and specialists for city and rural work.
“So rapid is the growing demands for leaders with special training for particular types of Christian work that scores of churches have already sent in applications for trained workers, and are offering salaries from $1,000 to $3,000 per year. At the present time there are 75 major students in the department of religious education who are preparing for one or the other of these open fields. Many majors in the department are already being placed on small salaries for part time, which Rives good experience in needed field work. “While being equipped for their life work, many students,” Dr. Hill explains, “are doing an immense amount <>f good in the Kingdom.”
Additional Instructors ‘Some valuable professors have been added to the teaching staff of the department: Dr. Wm. Teeter, who is a specialist In Latin-American work, is Riving special attention to those who expect to enter the Latin-American fields; Dr. John Hedley, who is offering a special course for those who e'pect to go to the Oriental Held; special courses dealing with church prob-lM»is in the city are being taught hy Prof Rromley Oxnam; and Mrs. Rebecca Price is offering special training Heligious Pedagogy and Teacher •raining work.”

Wanda Hawley Hands Students a ThriH
By TRUMAN B. HANDY, (Former U. S. C. Student, Now Staff Writer fo|Jthe Motion Picture Magazine.)
Shades of Horace Greeley! and of all the others of that brilliant galaxy of departed journalistic stars—and Suns —could they only see to what use newspapers are put to in this time, what an uncanny rattling of bones there would be in sundry graves, as groaning corpses turned over in agony. (Ever hear of a corpse suffering agony? Ask Jonah?)
Shades! That is the ultimate fate of the present-day newspapers, we learn. It didn’t strike us until Monday, but the downpour that afternoon opened our eyes. And now we know. When the shower commenced ,a multi-
Li’l action, please!
And yesterday—when Trojanites were hard at the process of digesting various and sundry lunches, and when the various sweatered individuals of the ’varsity occupied themselves with —well, that time-honored institution of—ah!—queening—the campus was invaded by the movies.
Real—reel—movies! With the beauteous, blonde Wanda Hawley disporting herself in—and here we refer to the society editor—the most delicate of green-and-checkered attire.
For the invasion was occasioned by a “location” trip of Realart players for scenes in Miss Hawley’s current production, "The Snob”—the majority of whose scenes are laid in and around U. S. C.’s verdant campus.
Movies a la carte aren’t usually in the line of a college education. All of which goes to prove that yesterday’s invasion is more In the nature of liberal learnin’ for the collegians.
When the pudgy, good-natured Walter Heirs stepped onto the campus as Miss Hawley’s escort yesterday and made a sort of—ah!— dispassionate love to the blonde-tressed fillum beauty, there was a snicker of applause. Even tbe frosh—and the writer—and others—were prone to observe that the U. S. C. arch-hero, Charlie Paddock, slicked himself up, took a longing look at the—ahem! lovely Miss Hawley, and—! ! ! !—announced to those within earshot that playing In the mo’om pitchers isn’t so
bad after all.
But, seriously, yesterday’s location venture by the Realartlsts was made in the name of art. Those are the very words of the director. Sam Wood, and his varied technical staff, which ranged from a baker’s dozen of cameramen, camera boys, prop men and— beauteous supernumeraries
And—here we divulge another secret —the piquant Julia Fay the lady whose brunetteness has enhanced any number of Cecil B DeMille’s social screen satires, “assisted” Miss Hawley in uplifting the art of the photodrama^ Yea' and even caused the hearts of the sprouting frosh to flutter and fll'ker A often!
TO BE NEXT VICTIMS OF TROJAN ATTACK
Ladies and gentlemen ,the next number on the program is the Occidental-Southern California game, to be played Saturday, October 23, 1920, on Bovard Field, at 2:45 p.m. Preliminary to the game tigers will be displayed and along with the tigers will be presented Trojan pep, but the decisive moment will not be at rallies or other enthusiastic predictions. It will come when Evans swings back his foot and starts the Orange and Black-Cardinal and Gold mixup at the time and place hereinbefore mentioned".
Oxy Ought to Lose By all the statistics available the Tigers ought to have their tail twisted with a vengeance. They started their season by defeating the Cubs out at the Southern Branch, but this merely shows that they have the same habit that all the other elevens in the south possess. If the Cubs win a game this year it will be at tiddlewinks—not football; they simply aren’t there. Oxy’s next opponent was Whittier, where it takes half the men students to make up two football teams. The poets were right on the job with the old pep Saturday, and while Stanton of Oxy was sojourning at Bovard Field watching the Stanford game his Tigers took the short end of a 21 to 7 score.
Superstition Prevails When Poets defeat Tigers it should be a cold day when Trojans don’t turn the trick, but there is something in the psychology of the thing which gives the edge to the TigerB whenever they come I>os Angeles way. Two years ago they had a rotten team—one that by all the dope should have represented a cat hospital instead of a tiger. They played the Trojans and defeated them 7 to 6, by putting across a wonderful display of flght in the last few minutes.
Now the Trojans are wary of their Orange and Black opponents, showing a respect for the workings of the sub conscious mind and all such deep stuff which should argue for a fighting game Saturday. A year ago the slogan, “Remember Last Year,” kept down overconfidence, and something of the sort should be kept In mind again; for if they defeated no one else, the Tigers have always had a grudge against Southern California, which has put a tremendous kick in their actions against the University. They like us fine, but they like us still finer at the short end of a gridiron score.
Lineup About the Same With the exception of Dean, halfback stiir, the Trojans are in good shape and should be able to present a lineup similar to tbe one which faced Stanford—provided that Henderson wishes to run things that way. Lockett will probably be Kincaid’s partner behind the line, with Leadingham holding down his old post of fullback. Woodward Is the best bet for quarter, being experienced and capable, while Greene, substitute quarter at the first
(Continued on Page S)
tude of U. S. C. women suddenly blossomed out with old Trojans perched perilously upon the various weird concoctions superimposed upon their as variously toned-up or toned-down locks. There, shielding the variegated velvets, silks, artificial flowers (rag or paper), fruit clusters and papier machie, rested opened-out Trojans, the first and fourth pages looking heavenward and the pictures of Charle Dean and “Swede” Evans soaking in the falling spray. Rain-shades! And they served the purpose admirably. Furthermore, we noticed through misty windows of a West Jefferson street car that down-town newspapers were meeting with the same ignoble fate.
But, after all, we reflected, old Tio-jans must be put to some use, and they may just as well serve to protect the knick-knacks of female top-story embellishments as not. Then, too, we have known of newspapers to serve as sunshades, as wall paper, book covers, fuel and pillows, not to mention other uses in critical emergencies.
So, we now propose a new use for old, much-read Trojans.
In some of the class rooms there are to be found specimens of animal life, the lowest form of which we know, with the possible exception of the amoeba, who perpetrate such kindergarten antics as scuffling their feet, scraping chairs on the floor, and grunting and hee-hawing during a lecture, heckling the instructors and earnest students. Most of this comes from alleged men, but some women are gyilty, or abet in the offense by smil ing coyly at pranks which, to the majority of college students, are relicB of the nursery days. But some never grow up.
And it is for these offenders that we propose a new use for old Trojans. We would crush them up into compact wads and ram them down the throats of the grunting, foot-scufing, chair-scraping, book-dropping kindergart-ners who want to make a playhouse of a class room.
Gag ’em, as it were, with a ream or two of “Hit or Miss,” “Gridiron Gossip,” “Society,” and “Movltis.”
It might cure!
