[ Washington, D.

Twenty-four years ill the sue ees&ful service in the education of young men and women is the rec ord already,uttaiaetl by Elon Col lege, one oi the leading; educational institution* In the -South. Bvery year in the ltTe of the college hfts been more successful than the one preceding, and so' rapidly has the number of students Increased that 386 were .enrolled the past year, representing 16 States, from New York to Florida, and the promise for the next school year which will begin on September 2nd, is that ! the number of students will oe much larger tahn last year, and that a larger number of States will . represented. The ideal location of Elon College —64 miles west of Kaleigh and 17 miles east of Greensboro, on the N. C. Division oi the Southern ! Railway, running between Uolds borQ and Charlotte—has had no lit [ tie pflr to pla(y in the success which . this college has attained, (t is pos , sible for the student here to en ; Joy the advantages of town life ' without the temptatipns of the; , same, and to possess at the same i [ time the freedom of the country. I . So desirable is the climate and so , healthful the condition of the com-j . munity, that during the past eight years there has not been a deathi in the student body of the college 1 and rarely has there been a case l of serious illness. This latter statement is emphasized by the 1 fact that while in one of the coi-| ; lege buildings there is a well ■ equipped imirmary, U has never ! been used, nor is a medical fee 1 included in the expense account of the students. Nothing is left undone by the' faculty and trustees of the college to develop in the students health I body, mind, moralß, and spirit,] and distinct success has crowned' this effort. As far as it is possi- j ble to maintain the same in an in stitution so large, the spirit of the well regulated home prevails in the government of the college, and above everything else, "the effort is being constantly made to culti vate CnrUtian character, grounded upohn firm principles of right, a priety, and an earnest love for the high sense of duty, honor and pro truth." The honor system of gov ernment is emphasized in the col lege, and it has been justifed many ttimes over. There can be very litttle knowl . edge of Elon College without [ knowledge of the "Elon Spirit", . and no one can remain in the col . lege community without being im , pressed with the helpfulness of this i sspirit, wjhich briefly expressed, i "is the spint of fair play, of gen . tility in all things, of moderation* and temperance, of mutual helpful , ness, of brotherliness, of emula tion in right doing, of respect for the rights and attention to the 00-1 1 ligations of collegcmates, of deep and vital piety, of consecrated re ligious and Christian character; 1 ' and it is to the emulation and em phasis of this spirit that much of ■ the success of this college is due. Included in the campus of the college is 25 acres of land and the > colleg ebuildings, seven in number, ■ are substantial, attractive, and fully i equipped with every necessity and • convenience for doing the bast col , lege work. Every building is well i supplied with fire escapes. The , college has its own water system ' and electric light plant and the I of light and water is the best. The value of the college buildings is $300,000. The East Dormitory for young men, and the West Dormi tory for young women equal in • every way the boarding depart ment* of any high grade college. The expense of board to students not financially - able to meet the cost at the dormitories, has been greatly reduced in board to be se cured at the Young Men's Club House for boys, and the Ladies', Hall for girls. In the Club House | boys can secure meals for the en tire college year for $60.00, and in the Hall the girls are furnished room and boarii, with water, light and laundry included, for $00.07 for the yar. The kitchen and laudry in the Hall are equipped with all modem conveniences, and girlt who desire to do so lessen their expenses by boarding here and sharing the domestic work of the Hall. Competent critics have pronounc • ed the new gymnasium for men to be the best equipped gymnasium | in this State, and equally welt equipped is the gymnasium for . women. An athletic field of the r first grade furnishes much addi | tional pleasure. This college takes no part in professional baseball, • but the students enjoy the game t among themselves. In basketball f the college won the championship , of the State the past year. The curriculum of Elon College is that of the standard college and . the degree of Bachelor of Arts and that of Bachelor of Philosophy are are conferred upon students who meet the proper requirements, also the degree of Master of Arts upon graduate students who meet the ' requirements for the same. In ad dition to the regular courses of i study, music, art and expression studies and a well equipped do mestic science kitchen are provid . Ed for special students. A new concert grand piano has been pur chased and will be placed in the college. chap6l at the- opening of , the next session. There are also " splendidly equipped laboratories chemical, physical and biological and geological—and these are in ' valuable to many students, both ' regular and special. The president of the college is Dr. \V. A Harper, and he is as ' Misted in the work of management and teaching by a faculty of 21 teachers. E\ery member of the faculty represents some one of the ' best known universities in the J country. Thousands of boys are ownt'il , oul light as slave* on the big plitn , t .It ion* in Argentina.

The range of uses to which birch wood is put is surprisingly largs. The articles into which It goes I ranges from church pews to table, - ranges from church pews to tables, ana from organ pipes to newel posts. We may have our fist sleep in a birch crib and our last in u " bireh coffin. The spool* on which we get our cotton and silk thread r are birch spools, and the lasts on r which our shoes are made are birch lasts. The largest of the spools hold 12,000 yards, the smallest 20 . yards.
