lighting cn'cct and imprcssioniatlc
poses. Accompanying each tableau, ap
propriate nnd especially well rendered
vocal and instrnmental selections in-
tensilicd the beauty and realism of the
visualized reproduction of the story.
We congratulate the Juniors upon
their variety of talent displayed and
covet the realism expressed by their
various actors.
A rapid transition necessarily fol
lowed and the devilishly optimistic
Sophomores created a scene of humor
ous indulgence of Freshman folly. An
unusunlly well thought-out minstrel,
of the colored variety, furnished the
outlet for Sophomore spirit and the
“Study la Black and White,” as ren
dered, shoVed promising material tor
future use.
Concluding the stunt program, the
Fi'cshmen gave an impersonation of
the Sophomores, and, in spite of the
fact that some clue to their stunt had
ijeen asfiertained by the Sophomores,
they rendered with a commendable
spirit of “spunk” their stunt as ar
ranged.
Following the decision of the judge‘s
the presentation of the cup was an
ticipated with much anxiety and hope-
Fnlnoss. In his own and pleasing
manner Colonel Olds presented the
loving cup, In Its initial appearance,
to the Senior clnss of 1922-23 tor
rendering the most original stunt, and
gave to the Juniors honorable mention
awarded by the judges.
Serving as an additional incentive
to future classes, wc wish for the lov
ing cup a chcckered but successful
career.
WHY BE A TEAfllEni
America’s licst talent should be dedi
cated to the training of the youth fnr
citizenship. The National Education
Assncial.ion aiipreriat.cs the efl’orts of
Its members to enlist in the educa-
lional army the strongest men and
v.'omen in every locality. It is recom
mended to our best young people that
they consider the following advantages
of the profession of teaching:
1. Teacliing pays. Besides ever-in*
Cl easing financial compensation, the
teaching profcssinn offers the highest
social sanctions and rewards.
2. Teaching is a growing profession.
The nation now requires the service
of 700,000 teachers. There Is a strong
domnnd that teachers be better ti-ained.
As training increases, the tlnanclal and
social rewards likewise increase,
3. Touching offers a growing career,
1’he well-trained teacher need have no
fear of unemployment, but may look
forward to increasing opportunities
commensurate with added training and
growth in personal (itneas.
4. Teaching olTers mental and moral
growth. The soundest mental and
moral processes are involved in the
making of good citizens.
5. Teacliing is building. The teacher
shapes the unfolding life of childhood
and radiates ideals and purposes that
in the citizenship of tomorrow will be
come the fabric of an improved social
structure.
A-WniER ARGUMENT FOR SITE
(Coniinued from Pago One)
some spirit of Meredith, known far
and wide, would overbalance every
advantage the combination would
confer. It is true the influence of
Meredith at Method would be ,a de
cided benefit to the A, and B., bui
this does not prove the unwisdom of
locating the college contiguous to the
boys’ Institution. We dare say they
need the uplifting influence of the
student body of young women quite
as much, if not a little more, than
do the boys at Wake Forest. We
sincerely hope no change will be
made in the determination to locate
our woman’s college on the site se
lected near Method. The saving of
a few thousand dollars lu the pur
chase price of the land is nothing at
all In the long run of years, and It
would be a high price to pay for the
loss of the individual and distinctive
spirit of Meredith College. The
board of trustees are wise and capa
ble men and women and they have
canvasscd the situation with aii eye
single to the good of our greal
school; It would be folly to take the
business out of their hands. They
have given the matter more enrnest
thought than any of us and their de
cision should be accepted by all our
pcople.---Cfton/j/ tnid CliHilrcn.

"And did you ever make a serious
mistake In your diagnosis?”

6. Toaching inspires high ideals.
There is nothing nobler or more prac
tical than to shape and to guide the
ideals and practices of the young citi
zens who are soon to be the nation's
rt-sponslble leaders.
7. Teaching is service. Those who
enter this high culling enjoy the spirit
ual developmout and true happiness
that come from rendering real service
to the Republic.
8. Teaching insures big opportuni
ties. With growth and inspiration
come multiplied opportunities for self-
improvement. for rearing tho family in
a wholesome atmosphere, and for liv
ing and building on life's best side.
9. Teaching is practical patriotlBm,
Inspiring young citizens and di
recting problems of citizenship prac
tice Is a ministry essential to a de
mocracy,
10. Teaching is the profession of
professions. Measured by tho stand-
nrds that make life genuinely-rich and
happy, teaching offers opportunities
beyond those of other professions.
Teaching is the clearing houao of the
past, the guide of the present, and the
prophet of the futuro. It is therefore
nccessary timt the nation's Ilnest tal
ents should be consecrated to public
education upon which the perpetuity of
American Ideals and the salvation of
the Republic depend.—Jonrnai of the
National KrhieMiio7iaJ Associatioti.

Meredith to hold her place as a giver.
He asked the girls to give up luxuries
to some extent at least, and listen to
God as a director in what to do con
cerning this cause,

ItKCITAL
Instead of the usual recital given
by the college students, tho entire pro
gram Thursday afternoon, November
2, was given by pupils from .Mrs. F’er-
rell's department. These young artists,
for some of them show qualities of an
artist, are to ho commonded for the
ease with which they appear and play
before the public. Their excellent
techuique and lu many cases their
good interpretation of their pieces put
the collogo music student to shame.
However, the fact that these children
are getting such excellent training
in beginning their study, should be
taken into consideration when making
such a comparison. These recitals
given by the younger pupils give us an
opportunity to further develop our
capability of criticizing, since tneso
simpler pieces are much easier to oiv
serve than the more difflcult composi
tions.
Tommy, after going to bed, became
thirsty, or thought he did. He called
out: “Mn, I want a drink.’’ "Tommy,
you go to sloop.” Tommy grunted,
turned over, and was silent for ten
minutes, then: “Ma, I wants a drink.’'
"Tommy, you go to sleep,'’ was the
reply. Intense silence again for ten
minutes: then: “Ma, I wants a drink.”
‘'Tommy, if you don’t go to sleep,
I’ll get up and spank you,” More
silence, this time for about two min
utes; and then: “Ma, when you get
up to spank me, bring me a drink,,
won’t you?”—Ex.
