Mr. Dutton took as the text of his
devotions, 2nd Tim. 2-10:15. He j
stressed the verse, "Study to show
thyself approved unto God, a work
man that needeth not be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of God."
The main theme of the program
was of an educational nature. The
text of Dr. Perisho's address was,
"The most wide-spread power for
evil in this world is ignorance." He
told us in a vivid way what Mr .Rey
nolds has done for mankind. He said
that he might have erected a marble
slab and the only good it would have
done, would be to make a spot in the
scenery, but he chose to erect a mon
ument that would be a lasting bene
fit to all mankind. He left the ques
tion and plea with us: "How much
does your citizenship mean to you?
I.et's be better American citizens."
Mr. Felts told us that education
had three values: (1) A monetary
value. (2) Social efficiency. (3) A
personal value. He said: "While you
are getting an education, build char
acter."
Dr. Foster told us about the ad
vancement that had been made in
North Carolina, and that such men
as William N. Reynolds are respon
sible for this advancement and prog
ress.
The dinner was a success. Sixty
nine cakes were counted, fifty one
jars of pickles and everything else in
proportion. Everyone was in the
best of humor and all the patrons
were of one accord—that we were
having a good school and that they
were ready to co-operate in the fu
ture more than ever.

Cold Logic
To Elbert H. tlary, the head of the
United States Steel Corporation, is
credited the most apt reply to a
question of stock value.
"Do you think steel stocks will pro
up or down?" a woman once asked
him.
"Yes," was the answer, "I think
they will. They rarely stand still,
and they can't go sidewise!" —Watch-
