cvale (lie question, the individual is
not thinking as .?he should if any-
ibing flb-e rpsulfs. The time spent
in waiting for plione calls, 5n Avish-
ing for .specials, in reading light,
rri\-olous, i)iirny!ird literature, in
•seeing poorly consstrueted, den^oral-
izing jiiuturo shows docs have
fruition—but in -what? We kavc
Icat-ncd how to spend twenty-four
houi’s u day. Eut even a bargain
is not a bargain if it is not needed,
nnd is bought at the loss of ,5omc-
Ihing dearer but luore useful. “The
fool just didir’t realize!” ‘\Yas it
bcr fault. Partly ye.«, partly no!
What she needs is closer attention
to Ihii5gs of real value. She thinks
10 pay little for nmcli. But saiicr,
boflt'i- thinking is more paying in
the long run; the bargain often
bci.-oini.'S a liability. The carefully
fho.scn arliule increu.ses in value as
iiii asset. As money begets money,
.^0 tliouglit lic-gels thought. Let lhat

iMisg Johnson lirst cxplsiinetl the iiso
of juathenniLics in Freshman Chcm-

took up the higher eouraes in Chem
istry, emphasizing the necessity for
calculus and differential equations in
the solution of problems in these
courses. The talk was interesting
thronghout, and the element of sur
prise was introduced when the Bpeaker
wrote on the board somo romiulas of
such Jongth that the audience won
dered how they could possibly be
worked out.
Surprise was again I'elt when Anna
bel Abbott, vico-prcsidont of the ciaij,
began to speak on the subjoct, ‘’IvraLh-
eniatics and Poetry. 'What possible
connection could there be bet'veen
nmthematics and poetry'/ Quotations
were given from promiuent poets and
maLhcniaticians to prove that there is
a vital connection between tho two,
and the relation wna farther shown by
the reading oJ Edgar Gnesfs e;i:er-
taining poem, entitled "Fracdons."

OF SKIJJNC! UOM>S FOR
NJnV SIKREDTTH
in chapel Saturday morning Mr. Lee
•MclJride "White, of Kinston, conducted
Ihc dovotiunal cxercises, and made a
most interesting talk to the student
body. Mr. White has charge of selling
the bonds to raise money for the erec
tion of the buildings of New Meredith.
He Inis given up his woric at Kinston
for the next three months in order to
dr>VDte his entire time to the tremen
dous task which he has undertaken.
With such a task in view, his talk
was very aptly based ou faitli, which
he doliued as being a combination of
vision iind courage. With such a
viewpoint, and such conlidence, we
feel that siicijcss in the great M'ork
that ho has consented to do is
iruivitable.
Following a dinner of savants a
certain professor of P.syciiology
thoiiglit ho would test a colored cloak
attendant as to his memory. Al
lhough thu professor pretended to have
mislaid his check, the boy without
hesitation handed him tho right hat.
“How di«i you Icnow this one was
minc?^' n.sked the learned man.
“Ah don’ know dat, suh.”
“Tlion wiiy did you give It to me?"
“ ’Cause you give it to me when yon
come in, suh.”
