Yet, if she would realize the truth
it is i'll her power to be attractive de-
spite her lack of q classic nose and a

women underestimate the power of

developed, a power to attract greater
than that given by regular features
and lovely complexion. Mr.. Henry
James asserts that the one essential
aim i'll educating women should be
to teach them tact, which is the true
secret of the art of pleasing of which
every woman should be mistress.
Tact may be cultivated to q degree
that means the power to influence
men and women irresistibly. The
basis of tact is Il knowledge of human
nature together with the faculty OF
putting yourself in another's place.
Add to these gracious manner, a
well-modulated voice and a spirit OF
kindly liberation and you have tact
a possession which may be attained
and which is infinitely more to be
desired than beauty.

The Vacation Problem.
kinsten Free Press

kiHsfeu r rec ffes5
Vacation time has come and now
in thousand homes the question is
"what shall we do with our boy?"
Right thinking parents want to
put him to work at something, even
| though he cannot earn much. The
rightly trained boy will usually want
to 90 to work; but he naturally
wants to make something. And it
is desirable from many standpoints
that the boy be able to make some
thing. In the first place it encour-
ages the boy, makes him feel that he
amounts to something in this world,
and prompts him to persevere, even
though his task is hard Then again
il he can earn something during the
summer months the family exchequer
will stand the strains of his winter
schooling much more successfully;
and not only will the boy have grown
and developed a habit of self-reliance,
but his efforts wiil-help other mem
bers OF the family by relieving the
strain.
But ordinarily boy cannot earn
much during the few summer months.
| He may be bright and willing, he
may have the brain and the Drawn;
| he may have made a faultless record
during the school term just ended;
but he nevertheless comes out from
school an unskilled laborer. His
hands can do only what thousands
of other hands can do; and the con-
sequence is that there is not much
money in it.
1t would be far more different if
the boy could do something out OF
the ordinary. The world is looking
| for boys and men that can do some
thing ont of the ordinary, boys and
men who can perform some kind OF
skilled labor.
The point is this: While your boy
is passing through his earlier years
and before he "goes OFF, to school it
is desirable to have him taught to do
something other than ordinary I'M
skilled labor. Then when his summe r
vacations come along he will find no
difficulty in turning his time directly
into money; and in later life, if ever a
dull period should come to him, he
will have his "trade," learned in early
youth to fall back on.
| Just at this time there is employed
in the Free Press office q young man
who is at home from the A. and Nj
College for the summer vacation.
He is competent printer having
made himselfproficient in early youth
and whatever fortune may befal]
him-barring some catastrophe-his
services at some place or another
will always be in demand, because he
is sober, Industrious, bright, reliable
And there are dozens of other fields
of effort where more or less skill is a
requirement of employment. The
| young man who can handle a razor
can make his way; or if he can use
tools with proficiency, or use the tel.
egrapher's key, etc, etc. Such ser
vices are always in demand
SO, if parents would only see that
their children are taught to do some
thing that everybody else can't do
the vacation problem would be
solved to no small extent

The target practice upon the mon
itOr Florida, of the United States
Navy, with 12-inch and smaller guns,
was a severe test of the metal of the
protective armor used upon our
ships, q test OF the mettle of the
officers and men of the navy, and of
the mechanism of the ships. When
men are willing to expose themselves
to the danger of being blown to
pieces in order to observe the results
of al experiment in the business of
their profession, it is easy to guess
what they would do if the navy were
brought into action for the defense of
the country. All the officers and
men of the Florida remained on their
ship while she was being subjected to
the terrific test of the 12-inch shells
of the battery of the Arkansas.
Lieutenant Taussig who was in COM
mand OF the turret of the Florida,
remained in the handling room d.
rectly beneath the turret which was
used as a target. He and all the
Others of the ships crew were more
intent upon watching the effect of
the shot than in seeking shelter -
The Baltimore Sun we'll says that
''the people OF the country take pride
in the courage and devotion of these
men because they are of the people
OF the cOuntry-a part of them, not
a separate class. Their qualities
prove the qualities of American man.
hood and patriotism. They are not
only the stuff of which heroes are
made; they are heroes already. With
such men on its decks the American
navy cannot fail TO cover itself with
glory whatever the emergency which
cOnfronts it. 1t will occur to many,
however, that these lives are too val
liable to be risked needlessly, and it
is not apparent that the test of the
ship would not have been Just as sue
cessful il the officers and men had
been out of danger. 1t does not
seem that the authorities were justi-
fled in permitting these brave men to
| risk their lives. The Florida was a
costly target, the contract price of
the hull and machinery alone being
1925, 900. But the results of the
experiment may abundantly Justify
the use to which the boat was put.
For..many years there has been race
between Offense and defense in the
navy. The struggle has been to get
guns and proiectiles which could pen
citrate any defensive armor, and at
| the same time there has been an effort
to make impenetrable armor. In
this test the armor seems to have
won, although at the present time
| this is not entiriey settled"

Nature has provided the stomach with
certain natural fluids known as the digestive
juices, and it is through these juices that the
food we eat is acted upon in such way as
to produce the rich, red blood that flows
through the veins of our body and thereby
makes us strong, healthy and robust, and it
is the weakening Of these digestive juices
that destroys health. 1t is our own fault if
we destroy our own health, and yet it is SO
easy for any one to put the stomach out of
order. When you need to take something
take it promptly, but take something you

scientifically trained men (graduat-
ing only in recent years. fitted to
teach in the agricultural division of
a college, it is fact that it. is abso-
lutely impossible to get aud keep
strong, aggressive, capable men in
agricultural work at the same sala-
ries paid professors in the ordinary
branches of college work.
This is a fact which must be faced,
If the College is to get and keep
strong men who will build up its ag-
ricultural side. There should also be
recognition of the fact that there is
greater need of constructive activity
here; there is building to be done,
while the other departments of the
College are already well developed.
Hence the need of stronger men.
The A. & NJ. College, if it has place
at all-and we insist that it has a
place whose possibilities not one man
in g. thousand has yet realized-has
a place as a promoter of industrial
education, not of mere, ordinary
classical education; and it has a
place to fill as a promoter of .agri-
cultural education primarily, not OF
agricultural education lastly and
''for revenue only" If it is not going
to fulfill this mission,i it has no earth
| ~ excuse for existence apart from
our State University.
The institution needs President
who has a vision OF the possibilities
of the institution, a man whose heart
| and soul is in the work OF industrial
education; and who will put his life
blood into the construction of a great
| and genuine agricultural and me-
chanical Institution that will be q
credit to North Carolina and the
Southern States. We have no can
didate for the place at this time; we
| doubt whether any one should have
a candidate on such a short notice
But we do plead for the election of a
man who will give his life and time
and mind and heart and soul to the
mighty and inspiring task of re-
building North Carolina by turning
out from our A. & NJ. College two
thousand thoroughly trained and
splendidly equipped young men every
year to develop our agricultural anC
mechanical industries. There is nc
finer opportunity for service, fol

An Untraveled Traveller.
'haFlotte Observer.

Charlotte Observer.
The Boston Traveller, of recent
date. gives expression to the follow
ing:
We are advised from Paris by one
ID. \. Tompkins that the South
needs emigrants. Until the South
changes its methods its desire for
emigrants, like the boys longing for
the moon, will have to be taken out
in desiring. The emigrant with his
head screwed on right gives the
South a mighty wide berth"
The Traveller is not we'll named,
else it would know that the South
gets its best migrants from New
England and is getting them in
large numbers. Here il Charlotte
is fine New England colony, drawn
from the very shadow of the Ira vel
er's building and every one of them
has his head screwed on right. 1t is
those who have their heads screwed
on wrong who are of a mind with
the Traveller and who therefore know
nothing of the South, it's great devel-
opment and the opportunities which
it affords to the newcomer.
1t would be almost cruel to suggest
to this Anticipated Boston paper
that it is not emigrants the South
wants to drive out, but immigrants
1t wants to bring in.

the protection of the insect eaters
that insure life to crops, woods and
waterways should be one OF the first
practical means to the general end.
