PARENTS DAY SUCCESS- FUR IN EVERY RESPECT inine duets, trios, and choruses, and most thrilling and impressive of all, several numbers rendered by the famous child prodigy, Kennedy Orr, j of Fort Worth. He was ably accom panied on the piano by Miss Roberta Dedmon, also of Fort Worth. The feature address of the day was delivered by Mrs. A. R. Rucks of Angleton, on the subject, “The Amer ican Home,” which was pertinent to the theme of the morning service. Mrs. Rucks said that “in our mad manner of living, our inevitable haste, our short cuts to achievement, and our careless manner of living that the American home was apt to become just a stopping place.” She further said: “‘It takes a heap ’o lovin’ in a house to make a home’, so the poet tells us, and we agree most heartily with the statement, but are we of America today engaged in real home building? What is home? Not the walls that surround it; not the roof that covers it; not the furniture that fills it, and not the windows which let the sunshine in. You can no more measure it by inches or weigh it by ounces, than you can set the boun daries of a summer breeze or calcu late the fragrance of a rose. Home is the love that is in it. It might be by the fireside where the dancing flames cast magic, fleeting pictures, seen only by children; it may be by a study table filled with books and a reading lamp, or upstairs by a south window and a sewing basket, or it may be in a child’s play room in a doll house, or it may be in a kitchen whose floor is worn white with the hard work of years.” Sunday afternoon the guests were informally received in the Y. M. C. A. and in the Assembly Hall, where the A. and M. College band gave a splen did concert of sacred and popular mu sic. Sunday evening the visiting mothers and fathers went to the various denominational religious serv ices with their sons. Monday was spent in acquainting the parents with the College plant. They were wel comed to the classrooms with their sons and were given an opportunity to know the men who now take the place of teacher that mother first held many years ago. In the afternoon the mothers were guests of President and Mrs. W. B. Bizzell at a lawn re ception, and afterward the entire corps of cadets paraded in honor of the visitors.
