THREE MACHINES ADDED TO COMMERCIAL DEPT. An Ediphone has been added to the equipment of the commercial department for the use of students taking typing. It is necessary for the pupils to become accustomed to taking dictation by means of an Ediphone because it trains them for later work in an office where these machines are used. The classes will start immediately using the Ediphone. Two mimeograph machines have also beeii moved into the typing room and will be put into use by the typing and bookkeeping stu dents. With these improvements in the commercial department, it is hoped that some of the difficulty in teaching the overcrowded classes will be eiadicated. Hallway Hash one of the study halls on the first day of school, someone remarked that the students were unusually quiet. “No wonder,” said another, “It’s mostly made up of new sophs.” Sounds bad for the older . generation.

T was looking about the halls on my way to class the other day and I no ticed that there are seve-al old familiar s hero, that I ihiught were in the graduating class. Just l.c;-v did it h.sppcn that they got out of all their classes la'it spring to practice for the pageant end other sen- festivities and yet come back over to school this term? I fear the rest of the student body had been gyped some way, or maybe these would-be graduates sent in their applications to enter college and found they had been gyped somewhere down the line of credits. The Delightful Study of Books These friends of mind regard the pleasures of the world as the supreme good; they do not comprehend that it is possible to renounce these pleasures. They are ignorant of my resources, have friends whose society is delight ful to me; they are persons of ail countries and of all ages; distinguished in in council, and in letters; easy to live WitlB always at my command. They come atThscail, and return when I desire them: the^^are never out of humor, and they anaw'^'v^l my ques tions with readiness. SoineNae^ before me the events of others reveal to me the secrets of Nature: these teach me how to live and those how to die; these dispel my elancholy by their mirth, and amuse e by their sallies of wit: and some leve are who prepare my soul to suffer •erything, to desire nothing, and to become thoroughly acquainted with it self. In a word, they open a door to all the arts and sciences. As a reward for such great sciences, they require only a corner of my little house, where they may be safely sheltered from the depredations of their enemies. In fine, I carry them with me into the field, the silence of which suits them better than the business and tumult of cities. —Petrarch.

During the past summer, Nora Chaffin and two friends connected with Duke Univetsity made a most enjoyable well as educational trip to California by motor. They took a northern route, passing through many of the largest cities of the West and Middle West, in cluding St. Louis, Kansas City, and Chi cago, After reaching California the trio traveled up the Pacific coast to Van couver, and across the Canadian Rock ies to Lake Louise, from where they continued back down to the United States to Glacier National Park. The party was also entertained to quite a thrill while in Yellowstone, when a grizzly bear attacked a ranger right in front of them, and Miss Chaffin confessed that in her mad effort to get out of the tracks of the arena, she fell, backwards over a log, probably adding humor to the scene. Miss Chaffin was most impressed by the city of Victoria, B. C., a strictly English settlement, which she said Te nded her of “a bit of old English, d also the Buchart Gardens, which e privately owned and said by Miss Chaffin to be prettier than any she has Other places of interest visited i Pike’s Peak, Bryce’s Canyon, Death Val ley, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Mounts Renier, and Hood. At present Miss Chaffin’s state is Cal ifornia next to North Carolina. WILL HOLD CHAPEL ONE DAY EACH WEEK Chapel programs this semester will e conducted one day each week. A.
