The new catalogue of Elizabeth Col
lege and Conservatory of Music, Char

ance. The cover design is especially

ter setting forth in detail the sourses
of study, etc, in the literary course,

ments. The catalogue shows a facul
ty of twenty-three professors. The en-
trance requirements are about the
same as those required by the National
Education Association. The elective
system begins with the junior year.

thirteen States.
The whole catalogue impresses the
observer with the idea that Elizabeth

Girls Walking Away With the Boys

The Gastonia Gazette of Tuesday
says:
THE ten graduates of the Gastonia
graded schools who received their
certificates last night were all girls.
What is the matter? 1t might be
said that they are simply walking
away with the boys except for the
fact that they are walking away with
out them"
The record shows that the girls are
walking away without the boys" in
educational institutions everywhere.
In a class of 80 graduates in the
Statesville public schools this year
there were II boys and 8 girls, and
last year the class was in about the
same proportion. One reason for this
is that many of the boys don't want
TO go to school and their parents take
them out and put them TO work: and
sometimes the boys have to quit TO
enter the field as bread winners, and
the girls can be more easily spared
from work, especially in early life.
The boys ought to make efforts to
keep up, but if either has TO suffer in
the matter of education it is probably
just as we'll to give the girls the adj
vantage. An educated and properly
trained woman is a blessing to any
home if she is not educated above her
station, and if she good common sense
she need not be.-Statesville Land
