bound to arouse the most unstinted energies of the-members. Citizenship involves the notion of activity, positive doing for the com mon weal. Between the absorbing study of subjective ideas in. regular collegiate work, and the engrossing (lealing with concrete things and their objective relations in actual life, there seems little connection. letwecn the two, the literary society in a measure supplics the link. Here the students, more or less familiar with a vast variety of practical affairs, expose the air castles of theory constructed by their opponents. And on the other hand, the insufficiency and inconsis tency of mere empiric information an( formula are power fully pointed out by minds trained to seek logical consis teicy, and habituated to seek and understan( the reason ror every rule and fact. There is a school of philosophy and of educators which looks solely at the motive, and if it be clothed with the moral character we call "good" then the end of education is accomplished. They say mere intellectuality is a dangerous instrument. "The more the ability, the greater the knave." The fallacy is intricate, th.ough none the less real and far-reaching. "The evil is wrought for want of thought, as well as want of feeling." Mere desire without ability to achieve is futile. On the other hand, ability being present, ordiinary chances are evenly in favor of the presence of the right desire, and if the right desires be instilled during the process of enpowering, the ideal is then approached.

The mighty Freshmen haven't had a chance to show their prowess as yet, but judging by number and size, they may prove to be a stumbling-block in somc other class' way. Their scrub men, many of them, were kept out of varsity games on accoutn of the rules of the association, and for this reason they have a slight advantage. A ruling of the Advisory Board de bars from all class games, all men who have played in any part of a varsity game. This gives the unexperienced men a better chance and brings out more material. The first game will be played the last of this week or the first of next. Then we wvill see a battle royal between the Fresh and Soph. Send a copy of Trie GAMEcoCK home. Play at the C. F. W.

See them coming one by one See them coming in a row, Come one, come all to the First annual baby show. See the prctty little dears, Dresscd in white, pink and blue. See them suck their fingers And smile so cute at you. First in line is Jimmie Green, Mother's dea- little boy. I le is dressed in pink and green, And in his hand lie holds a toy. Next in line is "Tubby" Ehrlich, The fat bal)y of the crowd, liut he certain not to touch him be cause Ie yells so loud. Dressed in pink, green and White, comes the mighty Dr. "Dilly," Ile is full of brains and Nooark, But he talks so loud and silly. See Peterkin long and lanky, Riding in an awful mood, He is cross and mean and angry, All because he eats Pratt's food. Oh, they come, they come in their glory, Speigner and Youmans so dear. They are cute and sweet, and all that, But they act so very queer. Riding in a pretty float made For him by.college girls, Pursued by forty-seven ladies, Quickly by Merry Widow whirls. In his greatness comes Red Russell, With a great and mighty stride, He is lord and monarch of all, And in him all power doth reside. Now comes the faculty bunch, And they pass one by one. They parade and flount around, Because they think they are big guns. They have passed, they have gone. In the distance the line fades, But what a beautiful baby show All the little kids have made.
