FLINN HALL TO BE FURNISHED SOON. Work to Start Immediately After Corn mencernent-Movement to Secure Man as Student Secretary. The plans for Flinn Hall and .for a student secretary to have charge of it, are bringing results very satisfac torily. All the necessary furniture for the four large rooms down'stairs has been purchased and is now stored in the old Y. M. C. A. Dr. Gordon Moore will be unable to turn over the building to the Y. M. C. A. directors until after commencement. The work of remodeling and the installation of furniture therefore will have to be postponed until after that time. A special committee composed of Dr. Mitchell and Messrs. Belser and Coats has the work of furnishing the Hall in charge. The campaign. among the students for contributions towards paying the salary of a student secretary for the Y. M. C. A. was most satisfactory. Most of the necessary amount has al ready been subscribed. Upon the hearty co-operation of the student body in this movement a committee composed of Messrs. Christie Benet, Wright and Belser has begun to take steps toward employing the best stu dent secretary for Carolina that can be secured. Messrs. Weatherford and Johnson, the traveling Y. M. C. A. secretaries who paid us a visit re cently, and set this movement on foot, have been asked by the committee to recommend a suitable man for the po sition. From present indications the Young Men's Christian Association at Caro lina will henceforward be a most influ ential factor in stimulating an active religious and social influence on the campus. The student secretary next session will take charge of all relig ious- activities among students and will do much to aid other lines of work as well. The committee will doubt less succeed in securing an energetic Y. M. C. A. worker for this position. With such a man to lead in the work of building up our associa tion and with the increased advantage he will have for his field of endeavor at Flinn Hall, Carolina hopes to have a wide-awake Y. M. C. A. next year. ANNUAL TO BE OUT SOON. Garnet and Black Nearing Comple tion-To Break Record and Be Here by May 2.0. The Annual for this session will be ready for delivery about May 20th. The present staff has laboured very hard to make this volume the most at tractive that has ever been gotten out at Carolina. Of the contents we will have to learun later as it is the policy of the Annual Staff to divulge 'but few of their 'interesting secrets in advance. However, we are assured that many unique features have been introduced into theis year's edition, which will de cidedly distinguish it from its predle cessors. All of the short stories ex cept one dleal with campus life and promise extremely good reading. The art department is very full Aind well ar ranged, and adds much to the volume. Taken altogdther, the Annual is the best Carolina 1has had in years, if not the best, she has ever had, and its coming 'is awaited with a great deal of interest Items of Local Interest. A new catalogue has just been is sued, and may be had at the office upon application. The catalogue is larger than usual, 4nd well gotten up, most of the credit being due to Dr. Joynes. There is also at the office a most in teresting bulletin, containing the ad dresses, etc., made upon the occasion of Founders' Day. In the April number of the Univer sity of Virginia Magazine, the ex change editor pays a very high com pliment to our worthy contemporary, The Carolinian. The Virginia maga zine is almost universally conceded to be the best. college publication in the South, hence a favourable criticism from such a source comes with some weight. To quote: "In this first list, we omit to magazines from the girls, schools. The following, then, seem to us to be the ten best of our exchanges, judged upon the merits of the session's work up to date-in alphabetical order they are: Amherst Lit. Brunonian. Carolinian. Columbia Monthly. Harvard Monthly. Haverfordian. Nassau Lit. Wesleyan. Williams Lit. Yale Lit. It will be seen that The Carolinian is almost the only Southern magazine ,in the group, and to be put in the class with such publications as the Yale, Harvard, and Columbia magazines, is quite an honour. Continuing, the Vir ginia editor says: "We supplement these lists by one of what appears to us to be the five best Southern magazines. In alpha betical order they are: Carolinian. Georgia.. North Carolina Magazine. Southern Collegian. Texas Magazine." We congratulate The Carolinian on receiving such signal recognition. Dr. Henry N. Synder, president of Wofford College, and one of the most eminent literary men in the South, has an article in The South A tantic Quar terly, for January, on "James H. Car lisle-t-ducator." The article is an appreciation of this great educator and is of particular interest to students of the University, as Dr. Carlisle was one of Carolina's greatest alumni. According to the calendar in the new catalogue, the (late for the opening of college is Wednesdaiy, September 21st, and the year closes on June 7th. It will thus be seen that college opens and closes a week earlier than usual. "Charles," said a young lady to her beau, "what 'is the cause of the mar ket-house bell ringing so?" "Well," sa-id the beau quite solemn ly, "if I were to express an opinion, I shoul give it as my deliberate convic tion that somebody is-pulling the rope." A philosopher who married a vulgar but amiable girl used to call her "Brown Sugar," 'because, he said, she was sweet hut unreannda HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS MEET AT UNIVERSITY. Important Conference to Improve High Schools of State. The first annual conference of ,the high schools of South Carolina came to a close on Friday night. From many points of view this meeting was one of the most important of its kind ever held in South Carolina. Over one hundred teachers from the high schools over Pie, State assembled at Davis College on the University cam pus Thursday night and on the day following to discuss matters pertain ing to education in the secondary schools of the State. Prof. W. H. Hand, of the University, opened the meeting on Thursday night, stating that this conference was called to give an opportunity for a free-for-all dis cussion of high school problems. At the morning session on Friday Dr. Mitchell made an introductory talk, in which he reviewed the situation. A great many questions of vital interest to high schools were taken up and disposed of; such as the age limit for entrance to the high schools, the ele ments of a well-balanced 'high school course, the place of English grammar in the high schools, high school litera ture, a year's work in geometry and other subjects of a like nature. The most .important thing accomplished, by the conference was the appointment of a committee of five to submit to the next conferen& 'a model high school course. This committee will be named by Prof. Hand, and the next confer ence will be held at the University in April, 1911. Dr. Joynes Protests. E:DITOR or. Tin GAMEiCOCK: I beg you to print my protest against the reappearance of the same speaker, with the same speech, before the same audience, in our contests for society honors. This is not only severe inflic tion upon the audience, but it is a con fession of poverty on the part of the Literary Societies which they should be ashamed to confess, and which is sure to elicit unfavorable criticism. Especially should a speaker who has won, one prize be forbidden to contest for another with the same speech. How can we expect an audience to at tend, or to relish such a feast of "baked-over meats ?" Perhaps some one will say, "This is none of my business." But every thing is my business that concerns the good name of the- University, and especially of her Literary Societies, in which I have taken so much pride. Let me hope that this matter may receive appropriate regulation in future.. Yours, for Clariosophic and Euphra dian, EDWARD S. JOYNE~S. A Foot-Note.
