IX THE CLIO BALL.
The progrannne for Friday evening, last,
was very good as usual. All items were
’well prej)ared and delivered in a com
mendable manner. The items which de
serve special mention are current events,
.an oration, and the debate.
Current events were given by Mr. Hat
tie. His events were events of the day,
to be sure. He is greatly interested in so-
•ciety work; anl his interest is manifest-
*d in the work he does.
The oration for the evening was deliv
ered by F. F. Myrick—subject being.
•‘The relation of elticiency to industry.”
Mr. Myrick said in part that efTiciency
4ind industry are so closely related to each
other that they go hand in hand. The effi
cient man is an industrious man,
and the industrious man is an cli
ent man. Mr. Kuskin once said, “life
M'ithout industry is guilt." Jf we only
think for a moment we find this to be
true. And one great cause for ».ur not
having more industrious men than we do,
in the fact that our public schools system
is so inetlicient. Statistics show that nine
ty-five percent, of the school children of
this great land of ours never go higher
than the public school. What is the public
school doing for them? Is it preparing
them for life? No! That is left off en
tirely for the high school to do, and such
a few ever reach it that the realm of in
dustry i*^ liardlv known. 1o ]‘)roduce more
efTiciencv among the men of our land,
Ave must make our }>ublic schools pre
pare more for life in the future than
they ba\ e in the past.
The debate for the evening was good.
*‘Querry. Resolved, that all insurance com
panies should be controlled by the State
government.’^
Much good and effective argument was
produced on both sides.
The affirmative argued that, if the in
surance companies were controlled by the
State government, all profits made on
policies, or insurance of any kind, would
be deposited in the State treasury, and
there it would be used for purposes
worth while. In this way eve^ry man
would be benefited by it. Insurance
^ompanies as they are today would not

They also argued that insurance compan
ies under those circumstances would not
be so strong as they are at present, neith

I'onndation.
The affirmatixe was the winning side,
with .\!r. Ileatwole as its strongest de

Society met last Friday evening at its '
nsnal time and a most enjoyable pro
gram was rendered.
One feature of special interest was a
paper by Miss Pearl .Tones on “Life at
West Dormitory.” She gave us a glow
ing lescrii>tion of it which was very hum
orous.
Another item that was much enjoyed
was a 1 iano solo by Miss Beatrice Mason.
She always gives something good.
Miss Xiiia I'inix read a “Prophecy of
Soph. Latin ('lass,” whicli wa« one of the
best 1 have ever heard in the hall. It
showed much originality.
We ha\ e al)out seventy-five members
now and we hope to do some good work
this vear.

IX THE riJlLOLOGIAN HALL.
Our ]irogram Friday night was very in
teresting and well rendered by all. The
men, both old and new. are showing more
interest than usual in society w’ork. We
are still growing in nnmbers as our list
now' shows ninety-eight members, and we
feel and know that we are growing in
quality as the men are already beginning
to show a decided improvement. The new
men deserve much credit for their work,
and the interest they are manifesting in
society. Each and every man seems to be
doing his liest and always upholding “Nit
Desperandnm” and Philologianism.
Our greatest aim is to train men in
literary pursuits and we feel that ere our
men shall pass out of the Philologian hall
they shall begin to recognize their ideals
in this work for we know no better place
for snch training than oar society.
Our best speaker oratorically was .T.
B. Aurley. He spoke in a clear and dis
tinct manner and show ability for great
er things in the future.
The debate resolved itself thus: that
the facutj of the University of North
Carolina were justifiable in dealing with
the hazers of Billy rand and others as
they did. The affirmative found its

Sunday afternoon at the usual ijmie
the Voung Women’s Christian Association
met in its regular session. Miss Thelma
Clymer, our leader, chose for her subject
I’rayer. After reading the Scripture les
son, she invited all to participate. Our
meeting was interesting and helpful. The
supject must have been a favorite one, for
a good number of the girls took part.
The vocal solo rendered by Miss Grace
Rolling's added much to our meeting.
The attendance was unusually good.
We are indeed glad to see the new and
old girls join us and hoj)e it will con
tinue.
C. Beatrice Mason.
MIXISTKKIAL ASSOCIA TION.
The association was well attended and,
it seemed, enjoyed by all. It opened
with the song. All the Way My Sa\-ior
Ijeads me.”
The leader, Mr. Brown, gaxe us some
very interesting remarks, choosing as his
subject “Growth in Grace,” taken from
the eighteenth verse and third chapter
of 2 Peter. “But grow in grace and in
knowledge of our God and Savior Jesus
Christ. To him be glory both now and
forever."
Mr. Brown showed that he had made
much i)rei>aratioii on the subject. The
following are some of the thoughts pro
duced :
First, “Growth in Grace”: a child when
young is very small but after many years
grows up into manhood, even so our faith
is small at first, but it gradually grows
and develops into a strong faith.
Second, Evidence. When we were first
con-verted there were things that we could
do and our conscience would not lash
us, but if we should do them now our
conscience wohld condemn such. St. Paul
in j)raying for deliverance from the
thorn in the flesh was comforted by these
words, “My grace is sufficient for you.” '
Third, Motive, Our greatest motive is
happiness, we obtain this by the spirit and
promises of God. AVe are not likely to
come to the place in life’s journey where
we may not fall, but we do hope by the
belli of God fo become less prone to
such.
Mr. H. S. Smith is our leader for the
next meeting. A full attendance is re
quested.

PLAYING THE GAME.
Life’s a game of nip and tuck,
And it ain’t no use to buck
Up again it lest yer born
With a spirit of the morn
To take throw-downs with a will
To get up and face the ill.
Life's a game of give and take,
Mostly for the future’s sake;
And what playin’ means is men
Gittin’ back to truth again
With the simple faith to fight—
Life or death fer sake o’ right.
Playin, the game is what we’re for,
Patiently o’er and o’er
Doin’ our part with vim and zeal,
Firm as faith and true as steel,
Taking, our blows and gitten’ on
Alluz some bit nearer dawn.
All must play it their own way,
But no playing is goin ’ to stay
That ain’t earnest, true and straight—
That's the only kind that fate
Takes as legal tender, men;
Get her breath, and play again!
THE WOODS IN AUTXTMN.
“Have you seen the trees in autumn?’’
Tliey are dressed in their most gorgeous
colors—deep reds, rich bronzes, greens
and browns in every shade. A walk
through the parks or forests in October,
in the crisp air, clear sunshine without
the languor of summer, with the brown
leaves underfoot and the splendid old
oaks and maples, elms and chestnuts over,
head—it’s like a breath from another
world.
It clears your brain of the cobwebs,
fills your lungs with fresh air and gives
you a new lease of life. ‘ ‘ The trees were
God’s fiirst temples,’’ and to them we re.
sort when we would commune with na
ture.
For worries, cares, headaches, colds
or blues, try this prescription:
Rx. One long walk in the park or
woods.
To be taken with an open mind, a
tliankful heart and a brisk foot, with
intervals of rest and thought upon the
beauties of the trees and the streams,
the wonderful world the good Lord has
given us and how grateful we should be
that we are able to enjoy it.
Physical culture is a sovereign rem
edy for most maladies. When the vital
status is raised, the morbid conditions
engaged by neglect and ignorance are
left out, and the individual exists on a
higher plane.
