Without delving into the politica intracacies of another city, while w. have enough of our own, sth, it will be the subject of congratuation gen erally that the people of Little Rock have endorsed Mayor Taylor for re election because his administration has been so attacked for it's progres. siveness. Little Rock has made sucl rapid strides in the past six years tha the Capital City is the pride of tho state. and the Taylor adminisratio. has undoubtedly been responsible fo. much Of thai improvement.
 A careful historian of the stat would recite that Fort smith was th first city really to accept the position that public debt and improvement was better tl.ah clean financial slate and a baei,ward municipality.

From a military point OF view

most interesting situations that
has developed during the present
war. The military strategist hnds
II difficult TO understand Just why
the Germans should elect to throw
their forces in such desperate ef-
forts against one OF the strongest
points in the allied line. since the
only thing certain in advance was
that under the most favorable cir

bound TO entail losses that would
be- wholly out OF proportion 10 any
advantage that could be gained.

Settle. field secretary of the Play
ground and Recreation Association OF
America, spent a day at our school
last week, spoke to the students at
assembly, and gave an interesting lie
lustrated lecture in the evening" iiRo
The first quarter of the school year
closed on Wednesday, and nearly All
the students left on Thursday forftheir
homes to spend the Christmas Nholi-
days. The second quarter will begin
on January 8, 1917. ~
The Christmas cantata, Peace. and
Good VIII" was beautifully rendered
last Sunday afternoon In the Presby-
terrain Church by the Glee Club and
some members of the Harrisonburg
Oratorio Society. under the direction
OF Miss Edna Shaeffer, one Of our
instructors in music.
The faculty and students were enter
tanned at Christmas supper in the
dining hall last Sunday. Carols were
sung by a chorus of girls from the
Glee Club: and an open fire, a spark
ling Christmas tree, and red -shaded
candles lighting all the tables made it
typical holiday occasion.
The Industrial department of our
| school is endeavoring to develop in
terest in its line of work by organiz-
ing home economics clubs In the coun-
try near here, and by correspondence
with women in all parts Of the State
with reference to forming such clubs.
and also concerning the problems OF
their daily household occupations.
Miss Sale and Miss Button are
especially active in this work. which
| Is aided to an increasing degree by
the students who DO their practice
teaching In Industrial subjects in the
county schools, and by the graduates
of the department who are teaching
| in the State.
The holiday spirit OF the school was
much depressed by the news of the
death OF Miss Annie V. Cleveland on
last Tuesday at the Memorial Hos
pital in Harrisonburg. Until the pres
I ent session, she had been associated
with the school since its founding as
instructor in French and Bible classes
! and was greatly beloved.
