boys. we snail give only lew oil
the most striking points. First, an
address was given be Mr.. Norman
in which he urged all young men to
get as good an education as possible
showing from statistics that for every
dollar that has been spent for an ed
ucation, in three years twenty dollars
has been returned. Also, he stated
that sixty five per cent Of our states
men were cellege graduates. The
same speaker made the statement that
only five per cent of the young men
of our country where church members
only fifteen per cent attended church
regularly, and seventy FIVE per cent
do not attend at all. The typical
student was eiven in an addressby Pro
fessor L. L. Rees of Cumberland UNI
versity. To be typical student one
must be sociable;he must stand we'll in
his classes; he must cultivate his spirit
ual nature; he must shun all musty
and rancid jokes; he must not cheat
in examinations; he must reverence
the Sabbath day, and last he must
honor Gods Word. These are points
which every student should consider,
and we hope they will be help to all
of us.
! A Leap Year party was given by
Miss Annie Haworth last Saturday
evening to number Of her student
friends and others. The evening wa:
spent in social intercourse and games,
after which refreshments were served
Miss Annie is a very entertaining
hostess and every one present pro
nounced it an enjoyable occasion.
The ball team is now organizing
and bids fair to be good one. Tht
boys are taking regular practice. l
is a noticeable thing that the interest i
increasing. 1t is probable that a
good a team as that of last year will
The cotton unless it is in the pitcher
place. 1t is hardly lickly that a
good pitcher can be found as WILEY
Davis.
The musicals given by Mis-
Clemens was decided success. w
will make no special mention of an,
one, but say for all that their piece
were excellent. Miss Clemens is do
ing good work for Maryville Col
lege in the line of music. Let thi
art be cultivated to its highest extent
for if these is anything which will
make the heart of man better it il
good music.
Notice All persons having pig
or cattle would do we'll to drive then
around toward the college gate which
will be likely to be left open at any
time by the students, so that the stool
can enter the campus. There is ii
this place and abundant supply 0
water and fresh air and the boys will
always see that all animals hav,
plenty of exercise. If a beast SHOULD
be found which IS indisposed to tax,
exercises tin can will be tied to it
tail Immediately, which will insure
that it has exercise enough to be con
ducive to health.
The Athenian Society held its re
gular monthly joint meeting last Fri
day evening. The program consist
ing of destinations, essays, orations
debate, the reading Of the Athenia
and music was very well carried out
The most important features ofthe pre-
Igram was the Grafton givin by H. M
Welsh and the reading of the Athen
ian by G. w. Eisenhart. Thes,
monthly meetings are doing grea
deal for the society and we hope tina
the interest will be increased in thes
meetings Of the societies i'll genera
since we can now see our way clea
to hold a few regular meetings.

tinued. One who was standing BY
answered. "The performance ha
not begun; it is the students cheering
a boy who is going in with girl TO
the first time" This occurred at the
entrance to the college chapel las,
Thursday evening. 1t is thing thai
deserves criticism. And the same
thing occurs on the college campus
