WE REPRESENT SALEM The old girls probably realize that during our holidays away from school we are to represent Salem by living up to her standards; for we have been admonished to do so in our previous years here. Sometimes, though, we need to be reminded of things that we already know. The freshmen, on the other hand, may not have realized that even when we are away from Salem, we still have a duty to her in making ob servers see that she bolds her stud ents to high standards of conduct. And it is a fact that outsiders are observers. They notice groups of girls traveling and in public places; and ask, not w'ho the individual girls are, but from what school they come. Those who are not familiar with the school can judge it only by the girls whom they see and whom they consider representative. All of us are naturally unusually enthusiastic as we start for home at the Christmas vacation, but we can show our enthusiasm and yet control it enough to keep from being bois terous and from attracting attention in such a way as to bring vorable criticism on Salem, only in traveling, however, but aft er we get home, let us represent the highest ideals of our school, may consider it as one expression of our loyalty to do our part toward giving others a favorable impressi of Salem. tain sensitiveness to constructive criticism, for each one of us, in her own mind, is doubtlessly very well pleased with herself, and thinks there is little room for improvement. One of the most favorite forms of adverse criticism used on this cam pus is that which flies about, dressed in gossip’s most alluring cloak. Un fortunately, each one of us is al ways ready to listen with attentive ears to anything that even suggests gossip about the girls with whom we profess to be friends. We never stop to think of the fairness or ve racity of the criticism that we hear, but we suddenly become so absorbed in the knowledge that we know a little gossip or scandal about some one, that we never stop to consider if the information be true, or wheth er or not the source and the in former are reliable. Nine-tenths of the gossip that weaves its way about the campus is based on false facts which have been told and retold with such emphasis and reality that the gullible students on the campus at once digest and absorb it, and incidentally are responsible for the speed with which it is spread. After all, no one of us is above criticism, therefore, let us not be too severe in our judgment of oth ers. If we must criticise, let us de vote ourselves to constructive rath er tlian destructive criticism. have given a great portion of hi^ fortune to this savior of lives. This discovery has cost Duke university thousands of dollars, but it repre sents one of the greatest contribu tions made to medical discoveries ir the past fifty years. Already orders are being received by the press for the book by Dr. Cornell, and much praise is being given his work by the medical jour nals. Criticism Or Gossip? Criticism, in its proper place, is a good thing. It is an essential re quirement for constructive work, yet too much criticism soon tends to become more destructive than con structive. We are always eager to receive favorable criticisms of our selves, for unfortunately, each of us is so tempered that criticism, which borders on flattery is very pleasing, In fact, we are all so fond of such of gaining compliments for our selves. Adverse criticism, however, is not welcome. It is only natural that each of us should display a cer- Wheii Does Your Holi day Begin? Christmas holidays begin this year after all classes are completed on Thursday, December 15. It is natural that we should look for ward to this cessation of work as a much needed and greatly desired “breathing spell” before examina tions, and on account of the joy w'hich the season itself brings. Do not let us make the mistake, how ever, of beginning our holiday too The last few days before the Christmas holidays arc naturally crowded with various social and re ligious activities relative to the joy ful season wliich we are approacli- ing, but we must remember that classes continue as usual. Term papers must be completed, note books kept up to date, lessons pre pared and quizzes passed with ex actly the same work and daily rou tine as has been applied during tlie previous month.

Let LIS utilize the happy spirit of the Christmas season as an added incen tive in filing the last week before the lioldays with a record of work well- done. Recreation is infinitely in creased in tile pleasure and profit which it gives, in proportion to the amount of toil and tiresome labor wliich precedes it.

Announcements FROM DUKE UNIVERSITY Durham, Duke University (CP) —Of the greatest importance to the medical world is the discovery by Beaumont S. Cornell, fellow of Duke University, that by eating one-half pound of calf liver a day the disease of Pernicious Anemia can be cured. A book on the sub ject has been prepared by Mr. Cor nell, and it is now with the Duke Press for publication. Following the death of J. B. Duke the officials of Diike University be- 3 intensely interested in the eradication of the disease which had wrought so much havoc in the world, and wliich had been directly respon sible for the death of Mr. Duke. As a consequence of this interest Beaumont S. Cornell, M. D., M. R. C. S., L. R. C. P., (Eng.) was ap pointed a fellow by the university search out a cure for the disease. Up to this time Pernicious Anemia has proved fatal to those afflicted. The remedy, as proposed by Dr. Cornell, seems quite simple. Trans fusions of blood, drugs, and other methods of cure had been employed, but to no purpose. Had Mr. Duke known of the cure for his affliction before his death he would probably The Seniors will be special guests at dinner at the “senior table” on Saturday evening at 6 o’clock.
