DR. SMITH LECTURES BEFORE CAROLINA Y "How to Choose Your Life Work"-Subject of In teresting Address On Wednesday evening Dr. Reed Smith addressed the Y. M. C. A. on the subject "The Principles That Should Guide a Young Man in the Choice of His Lifework". A large num ber were present to hear this lecture. Dr. Smith said that among the very few essentials of this life there are four that stand out, namely: Health, marriage (i. e. the kind of mate a man is going to take), character and profession. "Theoretical ly all doors are open. We should be ready for anything like the private soldiers in Na poleon's army, each one of whom carried a marshal's ba ton in his knapsack, ready for the time when he would be pro moted to the position of a marshal." In thinking of one's life work, Dr. Smith said that there are three questions that should be asked: 1, "What"; 2, the "Where"; 3, the "How." In considering the what, a man's wishes are a pretty safe guide, tho he should consider the wishes and needs of his family and the different types of profession.. "Don't drift in to blind-alley professions, pro fessions wtih nothing ahead." The "where" question should be easily settled. A man should go into a profession right here in South Carolina, and, preferably, in his home community, as South Carolina needs all the public-spirited, loyal, patriotic citizens it can get. She needs a sound middle class. Dr. Smith expressed the belief that a helpful era is com ing, one of social regeneration and construction. A young man would do best to- go to some other State to attend a university in order to get a comparative view of his State and local community. Last, but most important, is the question of "howv" a man shall perform his lifework. "It is the margin of spirit that a man puts into his work that counts," said the speaker. Upon the little bit of spare time a man has depends also what he will do for his fellowv-men and community. "The great on'estion," said Dr. Smith, in conclusion, "is not what you will get, but what you wvill be PROFESSOR BEZIAT TEACHES AT CAMP Will Have Charge of French Teaching to Soldiers at Camp Jackson The National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. hav ing decided recently upon a plan for the development and standardization of French in struction in the various army camps, Prof. Andre Beziat, of the University of South Caro lina, was asked to take the di rectorship of French at Camp Jackson, a position of great possibilities which he accepted, and upon the duties of which he has already entered. His first efforts have been di rected toward securing the services of a sufficient force of volunteer instructors. So far, about twenty officers and a number of Columbia women who have a thoro command of the French language have an swered the call. Owing to the change of personnel in the camp, however, many officers will have to be replaced. All these volunteer instructors are requested to attend a normal class, in which the best meth ods of imparting a practical knowledge of spoken French to the soldiers in the shortest possible time are thoroly dis cussed. Moreover, in order to pro mote among the soldiers a greater desire to study French, Professor Beziat has been de livering nightly lectures in the varicus "Y" units upon France, its physical and political geog raphy, customs, institutions, etc., and has canvassed the camp for French-speaking en listed men who will be utilized either as teachers or as "French glee clubs." Finally, a society, "La Tricolore," has been or ganized among camp and town people, the aim of which is to provide French entertainments at the camp. The program for the opening "soiree" has al ready been decided upon and the rehearsals are about to be gin. Professor Beziat will soon be assisted by one or two assist ant directors appointed by the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. Prof. H. E. Dennison gave his examination in advanced history Saturday and is closing this course because of his ap pointment to the next training camp. J. H. Martin of the senior academic class will teach his class in freshman his tory. Globe Dry Goods Co.
