After the strain and stress of ex
aminations there is always a tenden
cy toward a reaction and a general
falling off in effort and accomplish
ment. This reaction is a natural one
and often excusable to a certain
extent, but it should not be allowed
to continue for any length of time.
Tlie second semester witli its prob
lems and duties, is now well on its
way, and calls for renewed energy
and application. A wonderful new
opportunity is given for a fresh be
ginning, and for accomplishing even
greater things than were possible
during the term just ended- Replace
the sins of indolence and neglect
with the virtues of industry and
wliole-bearted work, so that the

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Honor and (ilory
There is a thirst for honor and
glory inherent in every individual,
and strange to say it is this trust
that can either make or destroy a
career. We bear often of people
who have accomplished great things,
wbo have been successful in their
undertakings, and glory and praise
were theirs—their thirst, if evident,
was satisfied. And how many peo-
■ pie are willing to work and
interested in doing their bit, but
who refuse if praise is not accorded
them, and their deeds are not glori
fied and lauded? What littleness
The truly great souls are
who, unmindful of the world’s praise
or blame, heedless of criticism and
glory, run the second mile in humble
satisfaction, and unselfish interest;
who toil on with patience and per-
severence. They are mindful of
things higher than glory, and a goal
loftier than the praise that the world
can give.
Mud or Stars?
Two prisoners looked out of their
cells—one saw mud, the other stars.
A new semester forms the vista,
and college the vantage—which are
you as students, seeing—mud or
-stars? Are you seeing the disap
pointing grades of last semester, the
failures of past work, the unfinished
tasks? Or are you bright with the
hope and confidence that the future
holds, and using last semester dis
satisfactions as lessons hard-earned,
and standing on these for a basis,
making the last lap of tliis year’s.
W'ork equal to “the stars” in ambi
tion and purpose?

New L. F. M. Store
Open.s in Twin City
The new L. F. M. store which
has recently opened in Winston-Sa
lem is one of a chain of stores tliat
are well known on account of th^
good quality of their merchandise
and their low prices. The mana
ger has just purchased a stock of
lovely spring dresses which are be
ing sold at very reasonable prices
and he would be glad for Salem
girls to come and see the dresses
oven if they do not wisli to
It is the belief of the average
girl that a dress is not of good
quality unless it is expensive. This
belief is wrong. The L. F. M.
store is selling everything at very
reasonable prices, making only a
small profit and yet nothing is
sold which is of inferior quality.
Most girls hesitate to go into the
store because it is not an expensive
store. If they could be persuaded
to look at some of the really beau
tiful articles that are in the store
they would realize that tlie L- F,
M. store is selling just as good ma
terial as some of the most expen
sive stores, but at much lower prices.
A girl could buy her wliole
wardrobe there. It lias everything
from dresses to suitcases. All of
the dresses are absolutely
One may find pretty spring school
iresses of the latest fashion there
for five dollats.
Also one may be assured of cour
teous atention and it is very im
probable that there is nothing tliat
tlie L. F. M. store has not in stock.
The new store is well worth a
visit, and the company promises
good values and courteous attention,
especially to Salem students.
The Y. W. C. A. service Sunday
night, February the fifth, was most
interesting. The opening song, “For
the Beauty of the Niglit,” was one
of thanksgiving and praise to the
Lord. Miss Margaret Hartsellj the
Prc'.ident ^ead a pass-ge {’oin t)ic
fifteenth chapter of the Gospel ac
cording to St. John.
Bishop Rondthaler, beloved by
ery Salem girl, told the interest-
g Bible story of the poor w
whose sons were to be sold
slavery, and who went to Elijah
for aid. Incidentally he related a
bit of his own experience in Eastern
homes, and the manner of living
there. The story illustrated three
things that should be done in (
iccess. One should ;[
believe, and, the jnost importfent.
These may apply to daily
living, to passing courses at Salem.
Ask God’s help, believe that He will
help, study diligently, and success
•11 surely come.
Miss Hazel Horton Read played
delightfully a violin solo, “Chanson
de Nuit,” by the English composer
Edward Elgar. Her music added
greatly to the beauty and dignity of
the service.
‘Softly the Silent Night” was
sung before the Bishop spoke the
Benediction, a sweet blessing for
everyone-
Mrs. Sue Stone Dunard, who was
elected president of the State Asso
ciation of Deans last year, has re
cently been appointed Chairman. of
the membership committee of the
National Association of Deans. The
association now has the large i
bership of 25,000. ,
Mrs. Dunard has also been asked
act as hostess to the Deans
the next national convention -ft-bich
will hold sessions during the latter
part of February at Dallas, Texas.
Tlie convention will be held i
connection with the -department of
superintendent of the National Ed
ucation Association.
Is This the Way
It’s Done?
Duke University—One of our
professors who is up to date in his
grading methods but a little absent-
minded made a slight fox paw dur
ing the past exams. He tossed his
bundle of exam papers up the stairs
and waited for those passing the
course to fall back to him, but alas!
he had forgotten to take the rub
ber from around them so they all
flunked. Fortunately, however, he
found three papers loose in his pock
et, and by passing them, he came
out all right.”

College Athletics
President Lowell of Harvard has
expressed his opinion on intercolle
giate sports in The New Student
‘Intercollegiate sports resemble .
‘Surely, as the aim in instruction
Lo give education to all, that in
athletics should be the physical cul-
of all.”

His faith unconquerable, his passion for
work irresistible, his accomplishment not sur
passed in the annals of invention, Thomas
Alva Edison has achieved far more than man
kind can ever appreciate. February eleventh is
the eightieth anniversary of his birth.
Wherever electricity is used—in homes, in busi
ness, in industry—there are hearts that are con
sciously grateful, that humbly pay him homage.
