LITTLE THOUGHTS
FOR TODAY
Wi.sdom i s man’s true
strength; and, under its guid
ance, he be.st accomplishes the
ends of his being. Wisely
handling the matter of life,
gives to man the richest en
joyment, and presents the
noblest occupation for his pow
ers; hence by it he finds good
in the fullest sense. Without
wisdom, man is as the wild
ass’s colt, running hither and
thither, wasting strength which
might be profitably employed.
Wisdom is the compass by
which man is to steer across
the trackless waste of life;
without it he is a derelict ves
sel, the sport of wind and
waves. A man must be prudent
in such a world as this or he
will find no good, but be be
trayed into unnumbered ills.
Spurgeon.
PARAGRAPHICS
Perhaps we can see what the
Freshmen really look like now that
they have shed their masquerade and
can be natural.
The Juniors began what will in all
probability be an old Salem custom
in years to come, vvhen they £
naded the Freshmen the other night.
At first we thought the Seniors had
gone loony over the thoughts of
|)ractice teaching and were rousing
VIS from our beds with a few prema
ture Christmas carols.
It will be a delight to all when
basketball practice commences . . .
pcrliaps more empty dope eups and
Nab packages will be able to find
their wav inside the trash cans.

deserves laud, but a special plea Is
made for the use of a programmed
time. Coming to school, escaping
home responsibilities one leaves off
the waste of time, by the possession
of the high privilege of a program
med life. No task is beyond one if
one’s time is scheduled as to time and
with respect to difficulty. In this
year all have met the crisis by being
offered the privilege of moving
youth to glorious expectation and
eager advancement.

MAMMY GOES TO SOPH
COURT
“I.awsy mercy, Miss, them peopli
what the college womens calls Soph’-
moes done took my angel child and
done tricks wif her.” Diana
panting and mopping her shiny face
as she looked helplessly at her mis
tress. “This here paper am what I
snatched away from a lady in a long-
black robe. I had to take a yella-
headed gal cross my knee ’fore I
could git away; she was that set
pros’cuting my Pansy. I tole her I
done raised that chile of yours t
she was no bigger’n a minute
that ain’t all I tole that sneerified
jedge neither. Is this paper ’por-

Pansy mama took tlie sheet which
tlie old darky thrust toward her
“Rules for Sophomore Cour
“The following are rules by which
the lialf-baked, though necessary,,
evils of Salem College, namely the
Irish Element, must abide tomoi

know, the 23rd of September.”
“Wait a minute, m’am. Them rules
don’t differ the matter none. It’s
wliat they done to them chillun I’se
guine to tell yuh. The po’ lil’ things
got down and sung praises y/hen I
come in to save ’em, about the time
them black robed pussons strutted
in. I didn’t do nothing just then,
but whin they made one chile bust
like a pipe and ’nother one wrestle
witli a female named Temptal
which was much too big for her, I
was powerful anxious to butt
If it hadn’t been for some no-ef
singin’ and some po’ speechifying

pathized with the jedges, I’d have
lost my shirt then ’n thar, but I

was a-coming.
“They got that angel-ehile, what
learned to call me ‘Mammy’ soon as
she learned to call you ‘Mamma,’ up

looked ’bomnable.
“They made tliem an’ her say and
do things what ain’t becoming to
ladies, so I mentioned some words
to them black-draped women, an’ I
done brought yo’ chile home.”
A certain bishop prides himself on
saying the right and tactful word to
every person he meets, and by rea
son of his office he is not accus
tomed to find his remarks qucs-
“So strange I should run up
against you,” he said to a woman ac
quaintance, “because I was chatting
only a few minutes ago with your
two children.”
“But,” said the woman, “I have
yio children.”
“Are you sure.^” he asked.

BOOK REVIEW
SHEPHERDS IN SACKCLOTH
In a novel of quiet beauty and
deep feeling Miss Kaye Smith has
written of shepherds of Sussex,
one a church of England rector and
the other a man wliose business is
selling tea and whose calling is that
of an evangelist. Botli love and are
loved by women; Mr. Bennet by
his faithful, gentle wife—a beauti-
fulh’ done character which so easily
might have been made sentimental;
George Heasman by Tlieresa, a
hoyden whose passion leads her to
a tragic end. These relationships
along with the fight made by Mr.
Bennet to retain certain episcopal
rites which he has practiced for
years and which are countermanded
bv a new Bishop, form the plot of
the book, the setting of which is
that of English countryside and vil
lage life which the author knows so
well, expertly written, portraying a
simplicity of life and soul, this
novel is a worthy edition to tlu)se
already published under Miss Kaye-
Smith’s name.
