the opportunity of having known
him and for his real influence, and
we hope for the girls who will come
to Salem in the future years, that
they may know him, too.

Something to Think About
Life is a measure to be filled,
not a cup to be drained.
It isn’t your position but
your disposition that makes
you happy or unhappy.
Knowing that you don’t
know much is knowing a lot.
PARAGRAPHICS
If yu are going to giv a man enny-
thing, giv it to him cheerfully, and
quick; don’t make him git down on
hiz kneeze in front ov yu and listen
to the Ten Commandments, and
then yu giv him 5 cents.—Josh
Billings.

Of Thoughtlessness
How considerate are you of the
rights of others} How often do
you stop to think of another’s feel
ings before saying something unkind

the heedless remark often wound
painfully affect others far m(
than we imagine. It is childish
‘I didn’t think.” Our purpose
for being in college is to think; not
is inexcusable and infinitely
distressing.
One of the most inexcusable and
excessively annoying acts of which
thoughtless college students are guil-
interference with another’s at
tempts to study. Such interference
is seldom deliberate; it is practi
cally all due to heedlessness. Few of
us are fortunate enough to get
through college without studying.
Even if this unusual capacity be
ours, should we not respect the
rights of our room-mates and friends
to a quiet study hour, free from un
necessary interruption ?
The greatest nuisance in college
is the idle girl who not only disre
gards her own work, but unwarrant
ably impinges upon the time of
those who earnestly desire to study.
Don’t be a time thief; don’t steal
that which cannot be redeemed or

We feel that v

it again, but we are glad, at thi;
anniversary, to express anew oui
devotion to him.
Bishop Rondthaler has a person
ality which wins the love of all his
students, for he himself seems to
live in the spirit of love. There
could be no more kindly and merci
ful teacher than he, always willing
to give the student the benefit of
the doubt, putting the pupil’s un
derstanding above giving grades for
what she may or may not know.
This makes the girls feel that he
questions, not to find out whether
they have studied the assigned les
son, but whether they understand it.
This seems to us teaching with a
purpose. Because of his readiness
and ability to appreciate the stud
ent’s side of any question. Bishop
seems to us never to grow older, but
to retain the spirit of youth.
Associations and personal influ
ences are as great a part of educa
tion as knowledge gained from
study, as important as any other
phase of college life. Though a girl
may never come into closer relation
ship witli Bishop than she does in
the Bible class, she gains something
valuable from this contact. Because
we know tliat there is no pretense in
him, but that he is absolutely true
and sincere in his life, he gives us.

Kindness
Did you ever stop to think of the
numerous little kind deeds that you
could do daily if you would only
let yourself.^ We all know how it
feels to be sorely in distress, and to
have some kind Samaritan happt
along and help us. If we would
only live by the golden rule what a
wonderful old world this would be!
Do We do it.^ No, indeed. We are
usually so busy doing something for
ourselves that we never have time to
lything for anyone else. Of
course, it is easy enough to help
closest friends—and we are ’
. s glad to do that—but do
help those girls with whom we
it well acquainted, as much as
ight.^ This does not necessarily
:an doing big, spectacular sacri
ficing kindnesses that will bring oui
e before the public—for people
always willing to be obliging
for the sake of publicity, but it
means silently, and generously doing
little kind deeds that pass unob
served and unheralded. After all,

s the little things we do
