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.

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.
