The Russians are fine at beat ing retreats. ** "We shall rest and, faith, we shall need it." Life is one Russian war re port after another. The thermometer, so to speak, is down in the mouth. Will revolutions ever bring evolutions to Mexico? Illustration of punctuality: Riley at Mess Hall door. * * The Belgian hare must be standing on end, -but which end? * ** The square-meal towvn is cut ting those meals at 'he corners. Shiver with honor? No. This shivering is more real than hon orable. TIhe company of "give and take" is now doing a rushing bulsiness. The Mexicans have called the 5728th congress in order to start another reolution. THE SELF-SUPPORT. ING COLLEGE MAN Interesting Discussion of the Working Students. "Where there is a will there is a way." When this quotation comes to our mind, we at once think of the self-supporting student, who has from day to day kept these words constantly before him. Words which have become second nature as he struggles on toward the realiza tion of his ideals. This quota tion looks gloomy at first, but when he gets into the fight, the mist seems to roll away and the vision becomes clearer. The student who is making an effort to obtain an education at any price is the one that we wish to commend. If the young man who goes thru college on flowery beds of ease, financially speaking, gets his praise, then ten fold should he be praised who gets his knowledge by the sweat of his brow. If that be the case many deserve specia; commendation right here in the University of South Carolina. At present about 25 per cent. of the entire student body are earn ing part or all the money neces sary to carry them thru colbege, We should be proud to statc these statistics. Not becauSE they are poor boys having tc work for an education, but be. cause of the fact that there are so many in our University er.. dowed with that element called "pluck." There is still a far greatei thing in store for the self-sup porting student---the laying of E foundation for his future lift that cannot be excelled. He i; brought face to face with "fathes time." He knows the value of money, something that not every student can boast of. The State also gets its propor tionate share from this stu dent, for he is the one thai generally makes the best citi zen. He is willing to work foi his State as he worked for hi: education. He also helps hi: State by inspiring other young men to get an education. So there is no reason why a working student should becomc despondent because he has tc labor for his education. HE should look on it as a privileg instead of a burden, and r-emem ber, "There are no gainas with. out pains." "Contributed."
