Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thought he is thinking and the deeds he is doing—where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger, which he knows that he Was meant and made to do.”—Phillips Brooks. Speaking of courtesy, not only do we believe that every courtesy should be extended to visiting teams, athletic and debating, but we suggest also that we study to be more courteous among ourselves. Why can’t Mars Hill be characterized by courtesy? Perhaps she is; but sometimes we may forget. A truly courteous person is courteous always to everyone. Let our slogan be “Courtesy Always”—student to student, student to teacher, teacher to student. If the atmosphere of our campus is to be truly cultural, this rare grace cannot be neglected. The most powerful forces in the universe are not the loudest. Frequently the most significant occurrences pass unnoticed. Perhaps there have been activities under one man’s hat of more far-reaching import than the battle of Waterloo. All values cannot be estimated in dollars and cents, and all questions cannot be decided by majority votes; even though some people do seem to think so. The time will hardly come at this stage of our development when as many people will attend a forensic clash as will turn out to a football game. Such a thing should not be expected. More persons enjoy a physical contest than a battle of the wits. The conclusion is obvious. We were glad to sec our auditorium crowded at the Furman-Mars Hill debate. {With apologies to the author of th^ recent "Essay on Han”) Woman is that which makes man her humble pi-ey. Some men insist that tliey are born misogynists, but let us be ad vised that those creatures have never > et seen an Eve or a Cleopatra. Woman with her magic tools of tongue and giacc carry man and leave him weal; and helpless. Women may be divided into four classes; loving brides, passionate old maids, aggressive man-hunters, and lonely widows—all of which are ab stract. Woman may need a new pair of hose and may crave a limousine, but she never needs or wants a new organ of speech. Woman may have two or more lov ers, but only one date at a time. Women are to be pitied. Their daunt less tempers, their zealous obstinancy, and their biased payments of speech, usually coming due with compound in terest, make them the wonder, but alas, the sorrow,of man. K you spend too much money bn the honeymoon, your bride gets uneasy about your “wad';’ and if you are miserly, she insists—secretly for the time being—that you do not love her. If, at the end of a hard day’s work, you come stamping into the little cot tage tired but happy, and you lavishly caress the idol of your heart, she is profoundly impressed; but, of course, she is sure it is too good to last long. If your wife buys a new dress, she half-way expects you to buy a new hat. She insists your shoes cannot reflect the image your lace, after you have spent exasperated minutes in flxing them for her sake. If the baby pays more attention to you than to her, she is secretly dis pleased, but she soon gets over it. Still, she expects you to kiss the baby at least three times a day, no matter how much superfluous secretions may have collected on the little angel’s mouth and cheeks. If, in case you are single, you ask Jane for a date, she wonders if you are merely inquisitive; and if you insist, in your timorous way, that she should supply the need of the hour by her presence, she wonders if you are al ready in love with her or whether you intend to be eventually. If you make reckless love to her, she seems to cherish the idea and encour ages you to do your best in the skUlful yet confusing art of love-making. If, in case she secs another to whom she presumes she can feel more devoted and one who can in return show the greater affection, she flaunts you and leaves you poorer in spirit than a church mouse In goods. Woman has written these imperish able lines: Let dogs delight to bark and bite. For God hath made them so." Let us Euld with urgent solemnity: Let woman still pursue her course; And man his heart keep true; Then let them both united be. To give each one his due. —EJd. Harrell. I The present exchanges are indeed gratifying as to oxtensivencs.s as well as the high standard of work o.xhibited by most of the publications that reach our department. College publications are expected to, and do, maintain superior literary value; the extensive high school exchanges not only occasionally give us a literary contribution, but also exemplify a comprehensive survey of the sectional events. Both are respected and enjoyed. Our extensive exenange list, including all the leading collegiate publications of the state and extending on the north to the New England states and on the west to the Philippine Islands, afford our department and student body the pleasure of catching the drift of life in any locality. We take this opportunity to thank our exchangers both individually and collectively; also, we invite exchange with any who consider our publication worthy of bartering. We are also grate ful to the following exchangers for re cently enlarging our exchange depart ment: Creek Pehhles, Campbell Col lege, Buies Creek,-N. e.; The Signal, Ouachita College, Arkadelphia, Ark.; The Wacoin, Washington Collegiate In stitute, Washington, N.

It is evident from a glimpse at the delinquent lists of the institution that there is a considerable number of young men and women who may be rated as dumb. Those who roam the campus, prizing beanty more than knowledge and elegance more than wisdom, may some time regret these mis spent hours. A lady once requested of the Dean that she not require her beautiful daughter to take geometry. The mother remarked that she would have no use for it because her grandmother and mother had got married and lived happily without it, and she didn’t want her daughter to bother her brain with hard studies. Beautiful but dumb. In other words, you think I’m hinting that those who escapq the delin quent lists are brilliant but ugly. No, far from it! The author intends no slander on the part of anyone. Nevertheless, do you know how you look to other people? Try vlewing'a mental picture once each day as well as many visual ones. AT DAWNING When eastern skies with beauty new, .\bove the world do lie; They’re golden with a brilliant hue. And sunlit clouds drift by. While calmest clouds hang o’er the world, And breezes gently blew. And flow’rs their leaves again unfurl. Her soul doth dawn bestow. Yes, this, thing was done Monday night, Februarj' 21, at a meeting of the Science Club. Not only was a fire made of ice, but water was turned to wine, copper into silver, a flame was generated by the simple waving of pa per in the air, and many other Inter esting things were done. The feats of magic and mystery were given by Mr. J. B. Crutchfield. Mr. Gamble gave an interesting talk on the fastest living creature. This animal is the Cesphenomyla or deer bot-fly. Tile fly is a native of North and South America and of parts of Eu rope and breeds in the nostrils of i deer. It travels 816 miles an hour, nearly 14 miles a minute and 400 yards a second. Should one be able to fly like that, one could leave New York at 4 a. m., have breakfast over Reno, tea at Constantinople, dinner at Madrid, and arrive in New York at 9 p. m. In time for the opera! Mr. Matheson gave a history of al gebra, the methods of the Ancients 4,- 000 years ago, in working algebra their signs and symbols. These programs rendered by the members of the Science Club are of much value to the students of science as well as to those interested In the science of everyday life. Every mem ber and also those students of science eligible arc urged to attend these meet ings. “Well everything I say goe.s.” “Come in the garage and tell it to the Ford.’’—Arizona Kltsykat.
