Editorial Opportunities Perhaps we have all tliought that opportunity very seldom kriocks at our door, but of which member of the family of opportunities, are we speaking? Now if it i is opportunity todo good we may think it true that it very seldom knocks, yet on the other hand, - opportunity to do evil knocks quite often. Some have said these two members of this particular family, ca(le'd "opportunities,", knock the same number of times, but that the welcome that they receive de termines how well we remember their call. ' , ' The opportunity to do good and the opportunity to do evil, first begins to knock at bur door during our school life. Of course we always want to accept the oooortunity to ao gooa It hs been said that opportunity has horns but no taiL By this simple cx p.rejf,ion we! learn that if we catch opportunity we must catch it when it first approaches, for after it has passed it Will be; too lat&' Now h tire time to answer the calls of oppor tunity to do good. While we are in school we have the best chances to our patience, our 'kindness, our for giveness, our fairness and our assist ance toward others.

S. ;S. and Lanjer Literary Societies' debated' on "Resolved, That Capital Punishment Should be'. Abolished." The debate was "held in the afternoon instead of at Jiight as had,been announced. -Local, rrleriapted' as, judges. The decir sion was in favor of the negative, , which -was the Laniers'. The judges especially complimented William Mc Giiinj. on his speech. Franklin's basket ball teams went to Sylva last week-end and played S. C I. and Sylva high school. The girls defeated the Institute in a hard fought game, but in all the other games Frankliin lost.' Mir. Moss claims that the reason the boys never win. any games' now is that the pres ence of the "squealers" always "flus- trates" them. He says that they no tice the girls so much that they can't sec the ball unless it hits them in the face. ' Tuesday morning, during cliapfcl period the ninth grad; entertained the school with a dramatization of one of 0. Henry's short stories. The characters were, Ida Moore, Ross Zachary and George Carpenter. They acted very.clevcrly'and the school en joyed the play verv much. .Last Thursday morning the eighth grade had lharge of the chapel exer rUfi Each trirl in the freshcan class impersonated some famous woman in history, while the scnooi guesseu Tuhnni ttipv renresented.

Association met Friday One very Welcome thing they did was to furnish the school with a nice cot. m&ttress, pillow and covering. This will make it so that children ivho get ciclf at school can be taken care of and not have fo be put on hard desks or just anywhere. It was a very wel-. come and thoughtful gift. Jokes. Farmer "Be this the Woman's Exchange?" ' Woman-" Yes." , -Farmer "Be ye, the woman?" Woman-"Yes." Farmer-" Well , then, I think I'll keep Maggie." "Just think of it 1" exclaimed Feoa the romantic! "A few words mum bled ever your head and you're mar ried " ' ' . "Yes,' agreed Dora, the cynical ''And a few. words mumbled in your sleep and you're divorced." ' v Willie held his nickel tightly while the Sunday school teacher told of the collection for the poor heathen. "Do they have ice cream cones where the. heathen lives?" he asked. "Why no", answered the teacher. "On movie f shows?- or Candj) stores?" -' "No. indeed 1" , ':-" "Well, then," said Willie, pocketing his money. "They ain't got any use for money, anyway." , The goose had been carved, and everybody had tasted '-.it. It was excellent. The tiegro minister, who was the guest of. honor, could not retain his entrusiasm. "Dat's as fine -a goose as I ever .set ma teeth in, Brudder .Williams," he said to his hos "Whar did you git such a fine goose,' . "Well, now, -pahson," replied the carver of the goose, exhibiting great dignity and reluctance. "When you preaches a speshul ' good sermon, 1 never axes you whar you got it. I hopes you will show de same consid eration." ; E. H. A., 27. ' School Tlk All school people are well ac quainted with !the sw.ing "of, the pen dulum during the last lew years lo waid a longer school day.. But haw far is it going to' swing? Some teach ers and pupils would be much alarm ed at the prospect 1 of an. all-year round, school year. But several places have it this year. Newark, N. J. Nashville, Tenn. and Vpinia has der cided to experiment with it in one county for the year. There are 'many others. It (is the', people back of the movement. The' following is taken from the February ', number of the educational Review. In it the, Chi cago Tfibune says: "In the days when life was much less comphv the edu.-cat-'on of children was of nr.Kh loss concern than in tie-5e confusing times. Times change, and we change with them.' -.The 'old-fashioned sum mer vacation is passing. . More and more educators and parents and phy sicians have come to'the conclusion that the jidle vacation is a mentaLphy sical ' and w spiritual detrirnent to childhood;:. The new will be a vaca tion period of directed- occupation." The Pittsburgh. (Tenn.) ?ress, says Th v.nrA ri Education announces that the lengthened school day is not to.,e aDanaoncu. xnc -uuu j.. lengthened in September of . last year, and the authorities see no rea son for returning to the shorter day in vogue, before that time. The pu pils themselves d not seem to have any real objection to it. The school curriculum now includes so much more than it did a generation ago! and few parents realize the improve ment that there has been in school methods. . ; , 1915 McDowell Club The regular meeting of the Music Club 'was called to order on January 27 at' the home of Mrs, Henry Xabe.
