THE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY
The Parents-Teachers Association
requested that we publish a list of the
books most needed by the high school
library, in order that many of our
patrons and friends may give books
which we do not already have. We
are glad to say that through the book
showers the library has increased
from about 300 to over 700 volumes.
This gives a sufficient number of vol-
umes of poetry, history and fiction to
meet the state requirements, and ref- j
erence books are most needed now.
The school will thankfully accept!
any suitable book donated, but books !
or reierence, on any pnase 01 science,
geography, biography, travel, mis

LINDSAY TAYLOR BETrER
Lindsay Taylor, alias "Kink," alias
"everybody's friend," is convalescing
rfter a rather trying illness. Ev
erybody is hoping that "Kink" will
sorn b abcut again. This old town
can't spare him off the job of cheer
ing up the rest of us long enough
to have an honest-to-goodness ill
ness. MISS NINA COOPER GRADUATES
Oxford takes a pardonable pride in
the fact that Miss Nina Cooper has
recently been graduated from the
University, a good two months ahead
of her class. And there was a time
when it was feared that women might
:;ot prove able to stand the "intel
lectual pace" set by their brothers!
"What's the matter, little boy?"
asked the kind-hearted old gentleman
ef the youth who was yelling lustily.
"Boo hoo, boo hoo," sobbed the boy.
"Come, come," soothingly said the
old gentleman. "Don't mind, don 1
mind."
"I didn't," shrieked the boy, "an'
that's what I got licked fur!"
"Now," said the Principal, to one
of the pupils at the close of the lesson
in which he had touched on the hor
rors of war, "do you object to wa',
my boy?"
"Yes, sir, I do," was the fervent
answer.
"Now tell us why."
"Because," said the youth, "wars
make history an' I jest hate history."
DR. SANGER MAKES EXCELLENT
ADDRESS
IHTI.;1 ISI1KII KIUCATOH OI-
VIHUIMA TALKS Alio IT
TKAfll I ; At A I. IKK
rnuKKsiiu
Our school had a distinguished vis
itor Monday morning in the person
of Dr. W. T. Sanger, editor of the
Virginia Journal of Education, and
former dean of Harrisburg Normal
School and of Bridgewater College.
Dr. Sanger is fortunate in possess
ing pleasing personality. We likd
him from the moment he utlc-el his
first sentence. Perhaps that was
partly because he chose such an ad
mirable point of departure for hi,
remarks. Dr. Sanger began by say
ing he read and liked The Tattler.
Naturally we were disposed to listen
with favor to anything that he had
to say.
"Teaching," said Dr. Sanger i i
part, "is the most universal of pro
fessions. Everybody teaches more or
less." Dr. Sanger went on to show
that teaching is the most important
of all professions. More than the
lawyer, the doctor, more than the
preacher perhaps, the teacher touch
es and shapes the life of the individ
ual and the nation. How important
it is then that the teacher should bj
thoroughly prepared for her respon
sible work. Dr. Sanger listed for ui
what he called the three indispensable
qualifications of a teacher: good
health, a love for nwinV nnd mis
sion for knowledge.
It is not every day that a man
like Dr. Sanger comes our way. We
are genuinely grateful to Mr. Barn
hart for giving us the opportunity
to make the acquaintance of a man
who in fifteen minutes could inspin
us to reach upward and onward to
ward the better things of life.
MRS. BARNHART GIVES RECITAL
On Monday evening in the chapel
of the Oxford College, Mrs. Barn
hart, assisted by Mrs. Blount Bryan,
gave her voice recital. As usual Mrs.
Barnhart charmed and delighted .1
very large audience of music loving
Oxonians. Mrs. Barnhart divided her
programme into two parts, the first
from the French and Italian, and the
second from the English school. Each
song was rendered with a richness and
finish, that only a contralto of qual
ity can give. Mrs. Bryan particular
ly captivated the audience with her
skillful rendition of a number of well
known violin solos. Mrs. Woodall, in
structor of voice at Oxford College,
accompanied both ladies at the piano,
in her usual skillful manner.
! EPIDEMIC RAMPANT
j We have noticed lately among the
j high school pupils a peculiar phe-
I nomenon in the region of their faces,
which is manifested by a dazzling
brightness. An official board of in
quiry, like the ones that Congress de
lights in, was appointed and the cause
of the epidemic was found to have
come from Mr. Barnhart's wholesale
distribution of Colgate's tooth paste
and soap. The tooth paste and soap
were in sample form, and were not
intended as a reflection upon the ap
pearances of the pupils, but as a com
pliment. If you haven't gotten yours
see Mr. Barnhart, and sign the pledge
to make water and soap your closest
friend.
