My classmates of 1907 may at least be interested in this little piece of news, as 1 do not know their individual addresses at present, aud so could not send each an announce ment, but if you should wdsh to put this in the alumni column I trust they will see it if they read the college pa per as closely as I do. Am always glad to receive Maroon and Gold and learn of the big changes going on at tlie College. My work has taken me so far away that it is seldom I have the opportunity to visit the campus, but am always glad, to know To Wear FLORSHEIM SHOES is to enjoy the best there is in shoe making.

Come to ATLANTA WIENIE STAND *'■ '■'Fej'-Quiclc Eui^h "• i Tlie members of the Clio Literary Society were very must pleased with the program given at its regular meet ing last Tuesday night, as it was of a highly interesting and practical nature. J. P. Davis delighted his audience with an account of his summer in Can ada, and gave some interesting facts about the occupations, character and habits of the Canadians. In concluding Mj’. Davis advised the members that if they w’antcd to spend a pleasant va cation. they should go to Canada. Speaking on ‘‘Germany as the Vic tim of the World’s Blackest Swindle,” S. H. Abell next told the society of the conditions in Germany and declared that in trying to swindle other coun tries the leaders of Germany had only brought disaster upru their own peo pie. A discussion of “The Newer Free dom for Labor” was given by J. L Lynch. Choosing “The Alamo’’ as his sub jcct, J. T. Banks gave an excellent oration on the high spots of Texas his tory. This selection was given in a most pleasing manner and was enjoyed by all. Mr. F. C. Rainey followed with some very interesting facts about Elon’s im proved power plant. A strong debate was given on the query, “Resolved—That co-education ill colleges is desirable.’’ J. 0. Atkin- soil, Jr., and H. Richardson spoke for the affirmative and discussed the sub ject from moral, social and religious viewpoints. F. H. Prescott and G. A. Pearce defended the negative. The decision was rendered for the affirma tive,- J. 0. Atkinson, Jr., and F. H. Prescott being the best on their re- sj)ective sides. J. T. Banks proved himself to be a second Demosthenes in winning the oratorical honors of the evening. The debate proved conclu sively that the Clios are heartily in favor of co-education. Miss Lucy M. Eldredge G-oes With the Board of Christian Education; Miss Coghill Takes Work. Miss Pattie Lee Coghill, ’23, was elected to succeed Miss Lucy M. Eld redge as Field Secretary of Religious Education for the Southern Christian Convention.
