At the regular mid-week meeting of the Y. M. C. A., Prof. Wardlaw gave an address on the important subject of "Choosing a Life Work." He said in part: "Modern life is a most complex affair. It is a difficult task to fit yourself into a place. The world is full today of round pegs in square holes and square pegs in round holes. The choosing of a life work is a problem for careful study. In Boston there is a bureau estab lished for the purpose of fitting men to their calling. The schools there are taking up the matter and the pupils are given the benefit of ex pert advice regarding their life's work. It is to be hoped that other cities and schools will soon imitate Boston's plan. Some few are, for instance, St. Louis, is starting the same thing. A new profession, that of vocational advisers, seems to be destined to spring up in a few years' time. A man should choose that profes sion in which he thinks he can (10 the most good. A man's business is not really his own business. The social phase must always be taken into consideration. We are all mem bers of one great society, working with each other for each other. A man, of course, must first con sider in choosing his profession, the probability of making an honest living. Next he must consider his probable efficiency. There are enough men working now at jobs which they are really unfit for, and crowding out the man who is fit. A man is not needed where he can not do himself and his profession credit. The social need must be consid ered. It is a man's duty to go where he is needed the most. -le should first investigate thoroughly before entering a profession. Today we need more farmers of the right kind, more ministers of the right kind and more teachers of the right kind. Politics calls for men who can resist temptation and put their whole being into the fight for clean and pure government. It is not wrong for a man to work with the end in view of getting wealth, if his pro fession be an honest one and he use his wealth to aid humanity. It is wrong, howvever, for a man to work for riches only that he may sit diown in ease and look upon toiling human ity wvith an eye of scorn. THE WAY WITH MEN. Two neat, Small feet And a shoestring loose. I bend, don't you, Before the shoes ? One glance at the shoe and two at the silk And an ankle showing as wvhite as milk; And I tie a knot that will slip again, For that is ever the wvay of men. -Cornell Widow THE SICK + V. A.

"Pat" Murphy Wins First-Hoyt Watson Second. The annual Gonzales Oratorical Contest was held in the University chapel last Thursday night. This contest has excited much interest among the students, considering the great success met by Carolina men (luring the present session along oratorical lines. It was by far the most exciting contest held at the University this year. Each speaker knew and delivered his oratio'i well. Hoyt Watson, T. K. Vassey and T. S. McMillan were the speakers from the Clariosophic Society, and J. C. Wrightson, J. B. Murphy and F. W. M. Woodrov from the Eu phradian. J. B. Murphy won first place, the stbject of his oration being "The Rising Tide." Hoyt Watson, whose oration was on "Modern Anarch ists," won second place. Both of the winners had excellently prepared orations and delivered tlim much to the credit of their respective so cieties. Featherstone and Robbins Win. In the Euphradian Intra-Society contest, held May 9, J. 1). Feather stone won the dleclaimuer's medal and WX. J. Robbins the dlebater's. As usual, this event caused considerable interest, and afforded pleasure to all p)resent. The declaimers were Brear Iey, Featherstone and Schwvartz. A spirited debate was wvaged over the proposition: "Resolved, That the Panama Canal should be fortified." On the affirmative DeTreville andl Edwards spoke; on the negative Robbins and Mitchell. "Divorced women, lowv-necked gowns and champagne is whlat hell is made off," shouted the suffragette temperance lecturer. "Oh, death, where is thy sting ?" sleenily murmurer1 Fresh TLevy.
