THE CAROLINIAN (Continued from last week) "Constancy"-fortunately an anonymous-is evidently the work of an untried hand, yet of one that does not shrink from the boldest of bold imagery, which however gets a little mixed in such lines as: Thy breasts image foam of the sea, They have never given ear, etc. The sentiment is good. There is nothing finer than constancy of love in misfortune; but this writer is not yet prepared to cel c ebrate it in verse. C/ "Her Lily" is good, both in z conception and expression. The style is simple and clear, and generally correct. The phrase " "he looked the same as any other priest" is not good, and to say that "silence is interned" in a place is very bad. Let our young writers avoid all "big words." In -"Kinship," the writer is not as successful as in his prose. The last line "For things I never saw, her will" is bad enough to spoil the whole. "Art Thou a Drunkard ?"-the title does not indicate the sub ject. The phrase "physic uni verse" I hope is due to misprint. The style is bad, combining the f-rm! of prose with frequent rhythm of blank verse-produc ing, therefore neither good prose nor poetry. - "My Fairies" is good-short and sweet, but shockingly marr ed by misprints, for which the editor is responsible. "The Song of The Oak" is a genuine gem-gives in simple style a natural and pleasing pic ture, alike true and poetic. The fifth line would be better: "I rock as the wind god whispers." "The Fable of the Greedy Merchant," I confess I do not understand. If an allegory, it is not clear. When the writer says "he awakened," he means he awoke, " but yielded to the lure of the "bigger" word-a dan gerous temptation. The "Editorial Department" calls for sympathy and commen dation. The first writer still mixes his metaphors, when he speaks of "Embers-sacrificed and snuffed out," and is a little superfious, when he speaks of "refilling a place." The Ex change Editor is more 'at home in verse than in prose. His prose lacks simplicity and clear ness. Let him learn the uses of shall and will, should and would. The proof reader was evi dently not at home. EDWARD S. JOYNES. Dr. Currell spoke to the Civic Club Friday night on Civic Pride, Addresses Esculapians Dr. N. Bruce Edgerton spoke to the Esculapian Society last night in Flinn Hall. In prefac ing his talk he spoke fQr a few minutes on the Choice of a Pro fession, in which he showed the fallacy of a young man's parents, his comrades, or his family ad visors deciding for him what his lifes work should be devoted to. He said "Each sortof work, each profession, and each calling has its advantages, its faults, and its standards of honor to which every man who enters its ranks will eventually subscribe be they high or be they low; and he will be satisfied." The bulk of his talk dealt with sex teachings and their value to the youth, and the evil effects on the minds of some so-called edu cated children. The speaker said that good along this line could only come from teaching youths to emulate some one-that a per son always is as good as the indi vidual emulated anei no better. It is reported that R. R. Mc Leod was in Hartsville last Sun day to deliver an address at the union meeting of the Sunday Schools. Mr. McCleod is a forcible speaker, and he did not fail to hold the attention of his hearers. 10 per cent DISCOUNT TO ALL STUDENTS HABENICHT McDOUGALL CO.
