Something to Think About Courage is but a word, and yet, of words. The only sentinel of Perma- The ruddy watch-fire of cold winter days. We steal its comfort, lift our weary swords. And on. For faith—without it—has no sense; And love to wind of doubt and tremor sways: And life’s forever quaking marsh must tread —John Galsworthy. I HE SALEMITE sentative of this Salem spirit, not only while we are in school, but also wlicn we shall have joined the ranks of the alumnae; for, to us people look for the meaning of Salem ideals. It lies with us, therefore, to bring about the fulfilment of the thought expressed in the second stanza of our Alma Mater: "Firm is thy faith, oh Salem Thy future service sure. The beauty of thy heritage Forever shall endure.” PARAGRAPHICS There is a fallacy that is wide spread, and that is that it doesn’t make any difference what you do where you do it; that it is the kind of person you are that counts, little common sense would show the nonsense of that. For who would say, for instance, that Thomas Edison would have been as great a servant of mankind had he been a drugstore clerk, mix ing soda-water with all of the skill and efficiency he has been using to ferret out the secrets of nature these past fifty years?—B. B. Van Dusen. USE OF THE LIBRARY In no instance does the careless ness and thoughtlessness of a cause greater confusion and i unnecessary inconvenience tc large number than in the use of the library. Any intelligent person can readily comprehend the necessity of an orderly arrangement of books on the library shelves, in order secure efficiency and to prevent w ry and loss of valuable time by those who wish to use the books. The librarian spends a great deal of time in attempting to keep the shelves in order, but hasty and thoughtless students often complete ly upset the arrangements of the shelves and bring about a great' deal of confusion. The return of a book to the place from which it was taken is certainly not more difficult than re turning it to a shelf, on the oppo- side of the librarj'. Books tak- 'rom reserved shelves should be returned to reserved shelves rather ;han left lying on reading tables, or 'areles.sly stuck away in a corner where they are w'ith difficulty redis covered. A great many people are often compelled to use books of which there are only a few copies in the library, and the careless mis placement of these books results in inconvenience and loss of time for a whole class. If every user of the library will co-operate with the librarian and with other students in the careful return of books to their proper places, much needless confusion will be avoided. What Everybody Is^Reading Announcements “Southern (’harm,” by Isa G is a delightful bit of Southeri pudence. “There are few more ierous members of the United States population than the garrulous en who are strewn from rustic homes below the Mason-Dixon line into the complicated excitements of N'orthern metropolitanism, there to stand, like cats in the, -ain meowing about their cousins. Southern courte sy and Robert E. Lee.” These wo men are a small class but they are ;>ertainly a fertile field for satire. Four such women of varied ages are written of in the storv. The author, Isa Glenn, born in Atlanta, has evi dently herself strayed northward, not to meow but to chuckle. SPRING MODES- NOW PREDOMINATE AT THE IDEAL ! !

LIVING UP TO OUR HERITAGE In celebrating Founders’ Day last week, we realized anew the heritage which the founders of Salem have given us, a heritage in which the directors of the college and its alum nae, too, through its one-hundred fifty-seven years have had their part. They have given us worthy traditions, a high standing among colleges, and an, invaluable good name. We gladly acknowledge our indebtedness to them jn expressing our sincere gratitude. At the same time we realize our very real re sponsibility as students to keep the n.ame of Salem always significant of true honor and ideals of service. We cannot live in the reflected glory of our predecessors, for though we may be proud of our past, we must still progress and do in the present, something worthy of pride. If we would keep faith with those who have given themselves to make our college what it is, we must fir.st of all get the real Salem spirit which is one of co-operation, loyalty, and service. We shall realize then, that we are working together here in school to help one another, and that our ultimate aim is to prepare ourselves to serve the outside world when we have completed our educa- We must continually remind our selves that we are to be truly repre- On Saturday night, February Le Cercle Francais is presenting “Les Miserables,” the scenes which are taken from the exact 1 cale of the story.

HONOR SYSTEM UPHELD BY VOTE OF 509 TO 232 ubiication of “Not Magnolia,” )vel by Miss Edith Everet . of St. Augustine, daughter of ator and Mrs. A. M. Taylor, of St. Augustine, and a student at the rida State (College for Women, been undertaken by a New' York publishing house, it was announced here. The book will make its appear ance next I'ebruary. “Not Magnolia” is the first novel to be published by an undergraduate of the b'lorida State College for Women and possibly any Florida college. The author has drawn largely upon the college and Talla ■e for her material, which she treats in a realistic manner. Miss Taylor is also known as a poet of promise. A volume of verse “The Black Lagoon,” which wa,‘ published in was favorably re- ceived.—Tampa Morning J'ribune. Durham, N. C., Feb. I—(C, P In a referendum vote here the Hon- ir Sy.stem was upheld by a vote ol i09 to 232. This ballot was rather urprising since many predicted that the Honor System would be vc ut. During the examinatio: just passed eight cases w'cre r ported by students, something that ilireeedented here, and more eas than had been reported by students in the ])ast two years. The sliorteomings of tlie system hav^ 'jeen attributed to the lack of knowl edge on the part of freshmen. Already the committee is at work tttempting to revise the Honor ?ode, and very soon officials expect :o be able to report one of the i effective Honor Systems in the s “Did 1 1 fill “I’ll say I did. She : thing in sight.”—Capper date last Gallkms Reach, by II. M. 'I'omlinson While the hero and heroine of “Gallions Reach” arc inclined to gasp a bit too frequently the book as a whole is both artistic and en tertaining. After lie had killed a man on board a boat at “Gallions Reach,” a part of the gray furtive Thames that slinks through- the up- roarous alleys of Limehouse, Colet was ])ursued by a ghost. Through shipwreck, even in the heat of the igle there was always a hand on Ins shoulder and a voice in his ear. Finally he obeyed the summons and sailed home to “Gallions Reach.” The book is the first novel of Mr. Tomlinson, a middle-aged man who had dreams and adventures i strange places.

It is the tory of the terrible influence that moron child had on his family, and the mental, moral and spiritual ca tastrophe that is brought about.
