Disregard for the rights of others is shown in many forms, but the one most prevalent among college boys and girls is perhaps that of time stealing—wasting the time of an other. Of the fact that we are thus wast ing our own time as well, we shall say nothing but let us for the sake of common charity employ the con servation idea in our use of another's time. To illustrate the idea by a concrete example: Perhaps this hap pens to be an easy day for you, and since stern necessity does not drive you to work you decide to talk over things in general with your neighbor across the way. So you betake your self to your friend's lodging and he in a somewhat weary voice bids you to come in. You enter and find him engaged in an earnest search for knowledge. Undismayed by an un responsive silence you set conscienti ously to work to engage your neigh bor in conversation, and he at length throws down his book in desperation and prepares to listen with long-suf fering patience to your views. This happens daily, hourly in our college of Guilford, and "such things ought not So to be." Fellowship is a good thing, comradeship is certainly not to be decried, but let us by all means bear in mind that there is a time for all things, and the opportunity to engage a fellow student in con versation is not the time when he is making, a frantic effort to get a little studying done during the intervals when you pause for breath. A new idea for Hoover—waterless days. "SAY." Say, do you have any acquaint ances or friends who seem to think that you are a verb in the imperative mood? And say, when they greet you as a verb—second person, singu lar, imperative—are you profanely silent, or do you uncork the vials of your wrath and tell them in uncen sored terms how unbecoming, how shabby, how ordinary, how common, it is for a person to call some one else Say. The Lord Chesterfields of the 20th century have commented much on manners among the supposedly elite of America. But one subject about which they have not yet risen in just indignation is the despicable habit many persons have of addressing others as Say. Sometimes one hears it so often that one wants to lean up against a lamp post and cry. It is as bad as trying to take a nap beside a board-sawing sleeper or having to listen to a gormandizer inhale his soup. It is more painful than a would-be funny man in a cheap show. It is a fat fly in the honey sweetness of life. It is a moderate foretaste of what we shall get in the next world If we are not good in this. It is— You know. You have been called Say. How do you like it.—Milwau kee Journal. YOUR SOUL AS A SENSITIZED PLATE Prof. Partington in Y. M. C. A. Draws Interesting Comparison. On last Thursday evening the young men heard one of the best talks that has been delivered to them the entire year. Prof. Partington had charge of the meeting. He spoke on "Some Lessons from the Camera." The camera gets what is in front of it when it is open. "It is easier to modify the plate than to change our worn path," continued the speaker. Just a litle light shows on a film. The effect cannot be seen at first, but it shows up after it has been in the dark room. Time is the great de veloper of the things that enter into our lives. Some photographers, ear ly in their career, open the door to the dark room just a little bit. They think just a little light will do no harm, but in these days a picture can be made in 1-400 of a second and our characters are infiintely more sensitive than the photographer's plate. We may try to convince our selves that just a little iignt won't hurt; but it will. The insignificant things shape our lives., The little things cause us more trouble than anything else. The devil never ap proaches any one with a great big sin. We may get along all right for awhile, but wait until we go into the dark room. In development all our carelessness appears as clouds and stains. Every flaw in the negative shows in the print, and these are but traces of countless influences in our life. Every personality in the word has an untold influence on an infinite number of other persons. The hu- THE GUILFORDIAN man race is the only group of ani mals that spends millions of dollars trying to fool other people. The speaker closed by saying, "If the finished product don't come up to the proofs you are going to have trouble. The fewer things that we know about ourselves, that we don't want other people to know, the near er we will come to delivering the goods. When the fight begins with in ourselves, we are worth some thing. Nothing can overcome a real ly spiritual personality. It is the set of the sail and not the direction of the wind ithat determines the port. Christ himself and all the spiritual forces of the universe are at our command. Nothing can down us but ourselves." WEBSTER! ANS DEBATE MONROE DOCTRINE AND ELECT OFFICERS A debate, "Resolved, that the Monroe Doctrine should be abandon ed," was listened to with much in terest in the Websterian Hall on Fri day evening, Feb. 22nd. All the speakers were new men, and all of them are in the race for the improve ment prize. With a little more en couragement from the older mem bers the contest for the prize is ex pected to be a close one. In the debate the affirmative was upheld by Tome, Doggett and Stan field, while Raiford, Brown and Gil breath defended the negative. The affirmative argued that the Monroe Doctrine should be abandoned be cause: the countries involved are generally apposed to it; the doctrine has proved a failure; and the great responsibility it places upon the United States demands that it be abolished. The negative was suc cessful in showing the judges that we should not abandon the doctrine because: reason supports it; experi ence has proved it to be a vital part of American diplomacy, and it has been beneficial to American coun tries. As this was the regular time for the election of new officers the fol lowing were chosen: President, Paul V. Fitzgerald; vice-president, Hervie N. Williard; secretary, Hobart M. Patterson; marshal, Herman Rai ford. After a very instructive report by Ira G. Hinshaw, the critic, the society closed a successful meeting. E.
