Crosby We noterthat Sol Metzer is on the football field every after noon now. Just watch him whip that team into shape, into a win ning team. Has anyone noticed that Metz er's Christian name is the Latin word for "sun." It is a new sun rising above . Carolina's Athletic horizon, bringing a new athletic day to this old college. * * Blut Metzger can't do it all by himself. Nor can, the men out there do' it all. They both must have the whole hearted backing of the whole student body. There must be no slackers in the body of men not actually working for the team. We all have got to do sohne yelling and lots of it. Everybody get the old Carolina spirit up again and when a game comes off let's go out there yell ing to win. -* * * Freshmen will do all the yell ing possible. If any sore throats are felt as a result that will be a sign that they yelled enough. * * * At last we have a band at Carolina. And it is reported to have thirty-five pieces. A band at Carolina has been needed for quite some time, and now that we have it, let's make good use of it. The student body is paying for it and we can well be proud of this new possession. We can now give the Citadel and Clem son some competition in the band line. Thirty-five intrumients ought to drown out anything these institutioQns mig't have. More noise to you, band of Caro lifia. All right, fellows, let's get out on the, bleachers next Saturday and see if we can make some noige ourselves. The band won't sowe'll have to be pint in for substitutes. Get on the bleachiers and yell till you can't-then some. 4ehn ifl 1rosirioot toi- C*tro Ua Any nMore. ident of the studelit body, was well selected. We don't ,know where, he got 'his name of "Charley," but- it is not quite as digniled as Jerome and there fore better suited to hinir. Charley makes friend's with everybody, is a prominent mem-, ber of the Clariosophic Society, is manager of the foot-ball team 'and is brim full of pep. Please name'a man who, can beat l1inl. We think that Carolina would have had a difficult time finding a better man for president of its student body. Governor Cox is for aocepting the League of Nations covenant and Senator Harding is abso lutely opposed to it. Therefore we are for Governor COx. At a certain time during the collegiate year it is customary to exchange professors with-cer tain colleges in Tennessee and North Carolina. We believe it would be a good idea to leave Dr. Morse at home. The Uni versity would suffer an irrepara ble loss if he would begin to like some other place better than Carolina and leave us. * * * September is supposed to be a fall month but if this weather continues the 'calendar will have to be revised.--Charleston News and Courier. A WITHERED ROSE. Within a quaint old book shop, whose low eaves Seemed to protect it in a pleas ant doze, I bought a well worn book, and 'twixt its leaves I found, as -though entombed, a withered rose A faded bloom, pressed in a time stained book, Its fragrance spent; but still a faint perfume Seemed to arise from out its modest nook And fill with ghosts the dim ness of my room. What dead romance was here? Perhaps a maid Had left a symbol for her' suitor .bold ; Or was it but a token, left to fade, Of blighted hopes, of love that had grown cold ? The dead ghosts mocked me for' ' no mortal delves . Into the Unseen, which no hu man knows; So sad of heart, I placed upon my shelves The book, between its leaves the withered rose. -R~obert Leslie Bellem in the~ New York Evening Post. fourth Lain NuSas he had In his third.

If was by a school teacher named Slutz, and gave his ideas on teaching. It was)so good that John H. Patterson had it printed as an adyertisement in his cash register bul'etin. All of us are teachers,'J said Patterson. "Sell ing is teaching. Propaganda is teaching." Slutz's school is at Moraine Park, Dayton, Ohio. It is in a converted green house and is sometimes called '"the school in the glass house." Not a bad idea. There have been enough schools in mausoleums. Slutz's speech was made a la school teacher'; that is to say, when he got through you knew what he had been talking about. He made seven points, each of which was sharp. It made you think, because it was built around ideas, not words. It was not a concatenation of catch phrases. I mention this because I have worked at the speech smith trade a long while myself, and know a good job when I see it. Here are his seven points, every one a dum-dum: 1. The school ought to develop individuality rather than con formity. How pleased we are wlgen our children learn to con form? Yet the whole hope of amounting to anything is based on their non-conforming power. 2. The school should develop 'optimism. This is the . best American characteristic, the blithe courage to tackle any thing, the specializing- in the im possible. . 3. The school ought to teach how to play. Nine-tenths of all a boy or girl learns comes by play. 4. The school should encour age many-sidedness. There is a democracy also in ideas. In a land of specialists the all:around man is king. 5. The school should develop business shrewdness. We are a nation of businss men. It is the era of business. The mind that despises it belongs to another century. No poet or painter is degraded by having business sense. 6. The .school should teach self-government. Every high school graduate ought to be an expert politician. Democracy is politics. A nation that despises politics is 'fit only to be bossed by a kaiser. Self-government is more important than arithmetic. 7. The school should develop the spirituality. Because spirit uality (not fanaticism) is the only- hope of the world. Every opk! 6f these points brise ties *vith b*'&iikSa ediates sugges. The speech is so ,good that I dlall steal it.
