VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE AT THE Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. meeting this week was the opening one of a series of vocational meetings planned for the month of February. The meeting this week was a sort of introduction to the others that will follow. The leader chose as her subject, Our Life Work. Before anything can be done one has to de cide to do something and think about it, then make an effort. Aspirations ought to be high, but the heights can never be reached and kept if ,by climbing one causes another to fall. There is no need of blowing a trumpet to proclaim a virtue or tal ent for the world will find the person who does one thing well and will make a beaten path to his door. Sometimes school girls do not think that every unprepared lesson weakens them. Such, however, is the sad truth. The leader said that every one has an infinite capacity for development, but no one can reach the zenith of his ambitions at once. Plodding per severance marks the road to success. The leader concluded her remarks by stating the requisites for success ful and satisfactory careers which are: Knowledge, diligence and love —then she said "it will be living a life and not just making a living." This was a iplain, practical talk which held the attention of all the girls and made them realize that life is not an idle dream. WEBSTERIANS HAVE SUCCESS FUL PROGRAM. A most successful meeting of the Websterian Literary Society was held Friday night. After the usual oipening Mr. J. H. Beeson was ap pointed critic. An excellent literary program was carried out. The debate on the ques tion, "Resolved, that the Federal Government should own and operate the inter-state railroads,'' was inter estingly argued. Mesrs. D. D. Shields Cameron and Robert H. Frazier ad vanced the affirmative. They point ed out the wonderful success of gov ernment ownership and pictured the present unsatisfactory conditions of railroad matters, arguing that the only remedy was government owner ship, thus removing the trouble be tween railroad labor and capital, making strikes impossible. The negative was upheld by Messrs. R. A. Lineberry and J. Dew ey Dorsett. They argued the use- Jessness of a change, showing fail ures of government ownership. The Canadian railroad was cited as an example of failure. The dismal fail ure of the North Carolina railroad was brought out. According to their argument Federal ownership had never been tried. The judges decid ed in favor of the affirmative. Messrs. Paul S. Nunn and Baxter Richardson, both former active Web sterians, s>poke praising the work of the society and wishing it still great er success. The Siler City High School basket ball team also visited the society. UNCLE MUNN'S CORNER. GETTIN* OLD, —TOO COLD. ZATASIANS TO VISIT HENRY CLAYS.
