EDITORIAL COMMENT
Au Revoir
And now our readers, we take
leave of you. Our task is finished.
With the publishing of this issue
of the Guilfordian the present board
steps out and the new board will
take up the work next week.
For us it has been a pleasure
to do our bit to keep alumni, old
students and friends of Guilford in
touch with its activities. We see,
however, where many improvements
can be made and should be made.
We have tried to eliminate some
of the worst faults, but there is much
yet to be done, and we rest in the
belief that he new board undjer'
the new plan of organization will be
able to accomplish more next year.
We cannot go, however, without
thanking those who have so loyally
supported us in the work. We are
truly grateful to all who have, in
any way, contributed to the success
of the paper. We especially desire
to thank our faculty advisors for the
live interest, which they have taken,
and for the hard work that they
have done. Whatever success has
been attained, this year in the pub
lishing of the paper, is due in a
large degree to their efforts.
We congratulate the members of
the new board for the honor and re
sponsibility which they have had
placed upon them by the societies.
We extend our very best wishes to
them in their work for a better
Guilfordian,
THE DRAMATIC COUNCIL
With the presentation of "Clar
ence," the Dramatic Council lias
prtctically completed its work for
this year. We think that anyone
who understands the situation will
be highly pleased with the work
done.
The council, frdm the outset, faced
a different task. On the one hand
the problem was one of building both
a dramatic and financial success,
and on the other, the problem of
making over an entertainment
■which was a financial success into one
which would also be worthwhile and
a credit to the institution. Anothei
difficutly was the lack of experienced
nitely xzfifl pshrdlu et shrd
student material upon which t
build definitely. Practically the only
source t>f experience at Guilford in
the past was the Y. W. C. A. pla>
which was far below the standard,
which it was thought should be set.
The minstrels, as they were given
in the past, developed little, if any
dramatic talent.
Needless to say, rapid strides have
been made this year in the matter
of dramatics. Two splendid plays
have been presented which were fai
above the average which has exhib
ited at Guilford, for several years.
In the matter of high class enter
tainment, they have been far su-
perior to those for which they
were .substituted.
One of the big problems just now
seems to be a financial one. In this
matter the Y. W. C. A. has been
as successful or more so than in the
past. The Athletic Association, how
ever, has not realized as much from
the play, in. a financial way as it
formerly did from the minstrel.
This, however, is no indication that
it cannot be made to. The outcome
on last Saturday evening bids fair
to take a live interes in this work.
The play can soon be made more
popular thjjnn the iminstrel could
ever have been.
The Dramaiic Council is to be
congratulated for the splendid work
done this year. It has made even
more progress than was to have
been expected in one year. The Y.
W. C. A. and the Men's Athletic
Association are very grateful to the
council for the work which has been
done in their behalf, especially to
the faculty members of that organ
ization, who have worked so faith
fully. The success of the produc
tions has been largely due to the
work of Miss Roberts and Miss
Polk who have directed the plays,
and to Professor whose
work in planning and building the
scenery, has produced one of the
chief features of the entertainments.
It is no unusual thing of late to
hear Mr. Been's new lawn mower
in operation. In fact scarcely a day
passes when the wild onion and
seedy grasses do not hear the sound
of destructoin.
The campus has improved in looks
wonderfully since Mr. Been's arrival.
The majority of the students are
grateful for his care of the grounds,
and are co-operating with him bv
staying off the grass and insisting
that others avoid "Cuts" on the cam
pus. However there are still those
who are careless about the little
things which mar the beauty of our
campus. Let us be so careful of our
walks and drives that the detested
white posts, which Mr. Been was
forced to place here and there, may
be taken down next year.
Mrs. Raymond Binford lias re
ceived from her uncle Timothy Har
rison and from the Plymouth church
of Indianapolis, Indana, 461 lantern
slides for the college. The slides are
devoted primarily to famous paint
ings and sculptors and will serve as
a fine means of creating an appreci
ation of art among students at the
college. There are also a number of
pictures showing artists an dscenes
connected with classic literature.

THE FILTHY FLY—A HEALTH
TALK
The flies are coming! They have
been asleep all winter in some quiet
corner of the cellar or the woodshed
and now they have been tempted
out by the warm sun and are flying
about and breeding and laying eggs
and buzzing, buzzing, buzzing.
They can lay their eggs in almost
any decaying rubbish that has been
left lying about but the place they
like best is the manure pile. If
there is an old-fashioned manure
pile near your house you can be sure
the flies have laid their eggs in it
and that the little white mag
gots that came out of the eggs
are wriggling about and feeding in
the manure. They will live £n
the manure about five days and
then they will burrow down into
the ground and make a little brown
case like the chrysalis of a butterfly
and after three or four days more
a new generation of flies will hatch
out of the brown cases and crawl
up to the surface of the ground
and start on heir career of crime.
What sorst of crimes do they com
mit? Murder, sometimes. For they
pass from manure piles and outdoor
closets and other filthy places to
your breakfast table and wipe off
the filth they have gathered on the
bread and wash it off in the milk
pitcher or they crawl over the rosy
lips of the baby in its cradle and
leave filth there. In the dirt the
fly carries on its feet there may
be typhoid germs or germs 'of
summer complaint and when this oc
curs the fly is a deadly enemy.
So, good citizens will swat the.
fly and trap the fly and starve the
fly by keeping windows fastened and
food covered. Above all, they will
prevent the breeding of flies by clean
ing up rubbish and keeping manure
in dark tight bottomed bins from
which the maggots can not burrow
out into the ground and from which
the manure is regularly removed and
carried away at least once a week.
Now is the time to begin the war
on the fly. See to this in your
neighborhood and the filthy fly will
realize it is no place for him and
will fly away to some other town.
