Lectures

Among the month's lectures were:

* The lecture by Mr. Mohammed al-Baalbaki, editor-in-chief of our colleague "Kull Shay'," on "The Conscious Citizen." He delivered it on January 29 at the Cénacle Libanais, in the lecture hall of the Ministry of National Education.

* And the lecture by Mr. Wasif Baroudi, inspector of secondary education at the Ministry of National Education, on "The Crisis of Youth." He delivered it on January 24 in the Empire Hall, under the auspices of Mar Ephrem College in Zahle.

* And the lecture by Mr. Rushdi Ma'alouf, on "The Appreciation of Beauty." Might he still be yearning for the themes of poetry and beauty, which he forsook for journalism and teaching? He delivered it on January 31 in the Empire Hall, under the auspices of Mar Ephrem College in Zahle.

* And the lecture by the deputy Mr. Kamal Jumblatt, president of the Progressive Socialist Party, on "International Relations and Their Possibilities in the Arab World." He delivered it on January 24 at Beirut College for Women, under the auspices of the International Relations Club. Mr. Jumblatt made it a condition upon the club that no representative of the press be invited to attend the lecture (!!) — but that did not prevent "The Woman's Voice" from attending and listening, with Mr. Jumblatt's knowledge, and with his frankness and boldness..
