So far as we have been HBle to learu we are now leadings all C«fcre publica tions in circulation. It i^fceedlews to state here how we do it, we have our circulation started expect to keep the ball rolling. Oul^ circulation tliLs week is 2,760. Get the band waj'on by advertising with ii £ al and call it a Christmas present. We will accept it in that spirit anyway. A happy Christmas to ail our friends. K. A. C. C. B. K. We had hoped to have [he first issue of The Weekly in 1913 printed at Elon College; but it looks now as if it will be February firet before the new pub lishing house will be ready for work. However, as soon as we can we shall move our place of printing and do our best to improve the publication. A good friend in sending -us a dollar the other day on his subscription said, “We cannot do without The Weekly, Mrs. W— seens to enjoy it so much.” This man nor his good wife has ever seen Elon College. Thank you, brother. Gome up to see us and bring your wife and then you will even read our ads. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE OF THE WEEKLY TO INCREASE. At ft recnt meeting of the stock hold ers of The Weekly it was decided to in- ereoJ^e the subscrii-tion pi'iit o.ie dol lar ()«r year, exrept to the students. This change was not made in order that some one might be able to make money out of the paper; but for the interest of the publication as touching the life of the College and in order to insure The Weekly’s continued appearance. We trust that our many friends will approve of the decision and continue to give us their support in the future as they have done in the past. All subscribers who are now paid up w’ill have their paper sent until the dale of e.xpiration at the present price. f tlii-i change does not meet with your approval, we invite you to investigate what other College publications are charg ing before you pass your opinion on the matter. We have coming to our desk each week a paper printed by the stu dent body of a certain college in this State and is just one inch smaller all around than The Weekly. The price of this paper is .$1.50 a year. Another col lege paper on our exchange the same size of The Weekly, but printed on cheaper paper sells for one dollar a year. We thank friends everywhere for their loyalty to us, and we hope to share with their continued interest in The Weekly. The Managers. Klon College, N. C., Dee. 16, 1912. TO THE STUUENTii AT HOME. (A letter) We were unable to get our paper from the press before you left, and hence we are sending you a complimentary copy so that you will not lose connection. We know that you will appreciate this act upon our jjart, as Elonites always know how to appreciate things done for them. Beginning with the fii'st issue in Jan uary we hope to be able to have every student a siiliscTiber. We need your support and we believe you will let us have it. If you do not already take The Weekly send us a card while at home telling us to put your name on our list so you will receive the firet copy in the New Year. Perhaps your home folks would enjoy reading it. Ask them to subscribe and bring us the money when you return to the Hill. Trusting you' will have a pleasant Christmas and that the New Year will bring to you many happy returns, 1 am, Yours very sincerely, C. B. Riddle, Business Manager. Elon College, N. C., Dec. 20, 1912. sacrificing; Dr. Newman being dean. A new dormitory is being erected, to con tain, besides the fifty roonls for students, a modern gymnasium. The tliird dormi tory is a logical • and financial necessity, on account of the growth of the school. There are now (Dec. 9, 1912) three hun dred and eight students in attendance. Of these, o\er one hundred are freshmen; the largest freshman class in the history of the institution. There is an accurate and high tone of scholarship evident, and a reverent spirit is easily discerned in the religious services. All the enterprises at Elon College seem to be well managed; and are und er the guidance of men who are there, not for individual support which they could not secure elsewhere, but because they love their work and the high train ing they are giving young men and wo men, who are destined to future leader ship of mankind. The college business seems well handled, vigorous, growing, economical. For advertising and pres tige the college does not depend on white washed infidelity and foot-ballj but on scholai-ship, a religious atmo.sphere, and the refining influence of coeducation of the sexes. An uptown man calls his wife “My American Flag” because she has red hair, lily white complexion and blue eyes. Here's ho])ing he’ll never see any stars.—• Exchange. A boy was on the way tj the dentist to have a tooth pulled. He had suffered dreadfully with toothache. A (’hristian Scientist met him and insislcd that there was no such thing as toothache. It was all imagination. “Well,” said the boy, “I’m going to have my imagination pull ed, then.” At a certain Sunday-school one after noon the sujierintendent driven to dis traction by the noise from a class of par ticularly unruly boys, got on a chair and looked over the piirtition dividing the two rooms to see who the offenders were. Seeing one boy, taller than the rest, talk ing a good deal, he leaned over, seized him by the collar, lifted him over the partition, and banged him into a chair: “Now be quiet.” He resumed his lesson for about a quarter of an hour, when a small head apj>eared and a meek little voice said; “Please sir, you’ve got our teacher.” LOCALS. Miss Vivian Hoffman entertained a number of frieiuls at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Hoffman, on Tuesday evening, last, in honor of her friend Miss Eunice Myrick of Newsome, Virginia. Games and music were indulged in to a moderately late hour when delicious and delightfud refreshments were served. Miss Myrick has just returned to her home after a visit of two weeks to her brother, Mr. S. S. Myrick of the College, and friends in the village. Mr. J. S. Fleming of Georgia, member of the class of 1912, spent a short while on the hill recently. Mr. Fleming is at present employed as principal of the high school at . The Kev. Jas. L. Foster and family have removed the personal jiroperty from their former residence here to Waverly, Va., where Rev. Foster has accepted pas toral work. Rev. J. M. Walker, brother to Mrs. W. A. Harper, is biding the while with Dr. and Mrs. Harper. Kev. J. W. Patton is home for the Holidays. ENTERING AFTER CHRISTMAS. From year to year there are numbers of students applying for admission after the Holiday recess who could not for different causes be here in the Fall With this end in view arrangements have been made in most of the courses. Little in convenience will be experienced by en trance at this time and we trust to have a number who will do so. “Come go with us and we will do thee good.” FROM CAXTON. Fortune despises a quitter. A few hot words will cause gwat cool- iess. The workman who uses dull tools loses much time. Keep sharp. He who knows just what to do should al.so know just when to do it. It is push that makes both ends meet and stick-to-it that holds them together. There is always room at the top for the little fellow who has the pluck to make the big fellows who are up there move over. S.\LOON IS .1 SORT OF BANK.

This institution of learning at Elon College, North Carolina, has advanced greatly since I last visited it, eight years ago. W. A. Harper, LL. D., is now the vigorous, learned, indomitable, young president. The faculty is able and self- You deposit: Your money and lose it. Your time and lose it. Your character and lose it. Your health and lose it. Your strength and lose it. Your self-control and lose it. Your home comfort and lose it. Your own soul and lose it. The depositor awakes to find himself ruined.—Exchange. HEHAVIOR OF STUDENTS ON TRAINS. We often hear it said that yon can tell a man by Ms conduct. This is a true guide and never fails to point out his life and serve an index to his training. Now, as the trains are crowded with students home-ward bound, every man and woman has an opportunity to show his or her training by being kind, polite, and gen teel. No one on the train may know you, but perhaps some one will learn, what College you are from, and by your con duct you and your institution will be judged. How will you make itT Last Christmas we were on a train loaded with students from five Colleges. One fellow, a smart Alex, did all he could to entertain the crowd and furnish the fun. He did the job well, and at the same time reflected upon the home from whence he came and upon the institution that was trying to make a man of him. We heard remarks from a number of the students on board that if that was the kind of men that — College was turning out that fhey did not care to go there. This man was doubtless a rowdy and his Colles'e had no way of reforming him, but the College got the reputation just the same. We trust that no stndent from Elon will try to “show off” while going and returning during the holidays. Re member that some one is passing his opinion on you every time you move, and so let the oj>inion be good. A Student.
