An illustrated lecture on the outstanding

was delivered Tuesday night at 8
o'clock in Sloan College, by Albert

In his lecture Mr. Simons, who ^

the vital part which beauty plays in
the everyday life of each individual.

Kmmett Kilpatrick, professor of

Open Lettej
Four years ago, practically every
senior had the choice of several jof>s.
A very different situtation faces those
who graduate this year, when few
will find work demanding their talents,
however willing. Numbers of students
have been asking for aid and advice in
this situation. The author does not
claim credit for the suggestions below
but passes them on for whatever they
may be worth.
DO SOMETHING?
Regardless of what it is, plan to do
something when you leave the University.
VVe are all hoping that the
upturn in the nation's business has
definitely set in. But even if this is
so, the rise will be gradual, and the
probabilities of your getting a job soon
are still small. If you hang around
home for the next six months or year
doing nothing, the probability is that
you will do nothing for the rest of
your life Too many of the graduates
of the last few years have lost all
hope and all ambition simply because
they have been doing nbthing. Do
something if it is nothing more than
getting ten acres of land somewhere
and raising enough food for yourself
and to exchange for clothing. The
only hope you have in the future is
to maintain your morale and ambitions
within the next two years.
I he following suggestions have been
made for college graduates. If possible
return to college for a higher degree.
I here is no better time than the present
for the student to round out
lis formal education by taking some
other courses for which he had no
time during his academic years, or take
a professional degree or a graduate
egree Many engineering students
,itt,c time for* cultural
courses. Now is the time for him to
seize the opportunity for rounding out
his personality in a way that may
mean much for his advancement in
uture years. The liberal arts student
may take some courses in business
administration or in the school of education
in order to have a more balanced
I'fe and with the idea of commandmg
broader compensation in the future
GETTING BACK TO LAND?

Students Have
Unusual Names
There's a Still at the University of
South Carolina. Not only that
there's also a Brewer, and just to cap
the climax, two Boozers! But there's
no likelihood of a faculty investigating
committee being appointed, for these
happen to be just a few of the surnames
found in the student directory
of the University.
1 he nobility is well represented with
10 Kings, :$ Princes, 3 Dukes and a
"age, while the ecclesiastical fold is
present in a Pope, :i Bishops, a Friar
and a Rector. The realm of Dan Cupid
presents 1 Love and the inevitable
Valentine!
There are two Mclntoshes, for use
when it's Raney and the watery element
is further suggested by two
Rivers and a I.ake.
There is only one Worthy in school,
an a Looney is harbored.
I here is one Crow, a single Dove,
one Peacock, three Storks and a
Swann, with a Dickey also putting in
an appearance. There is also one plain
Hird. A single Pike represents the
. y legion but the animals are therein
abundance with two Foxes, a Lyon
and four Wolfs.
I'.atables represented are a Bean a
Berry, a Chestnut, a Citron, two
Hamnis, and two Rices, with a little
Hay thrown in for roughage!
There is only one Wise person in
school, though a Weisman is present
" you pronounce names to suit yourself!
The single Christmas in school,
though possessing an initial M, inconsiderately
refuses to l,c named Mary
City government is represented by a
Mayer and maritime vessels by a Master.
Occupations represented in the catalogue
with the number of people bearing
each surname are: Barbers, 2*
Bakers, ?; Carters, 4; Cooks. 2*
Coopers, 8; Gardners, 2; Shepherds, 2Millers,

or that could be sold on 'the open
market. There are many idle farms
that could he had for almost nothing
at the present time. Few students will
want to make farming a life work,
hut they can make it a means of sustenance
at the present time and that
is what will count when few johs are
to he had.
ON TEACHING?
Many students are going to try to
get places as teachers regardless of
the meager compensation. Education
is now at the cross roads. Taxpayers
are being impressed with the facts
that it cost too much. In the future
it will need stronger hands to guide
it as it should go. There are many
inspiring examples of men who have
started teaching in a one room school,
who have grown so that the field of
education has not been able to hold
them. What one man has done many
can do. If you are going to try teaching,
try it with the idea of making
a real contribution to the life of the
people of this State.
STARTING NEW BUSINESSES?
Marshall Fields Co. was started with
a small store during a great depression. J
Henry Ford started making automobiles
during a depression. The names
of many great firms can be listed
among those which were started under
just such conditions as confront us
now. The small business has a much
better chance than the big one at the
present time. You will be working
for yourself, you have no great debt
hanging over you to be amortized,
you have no enormous overhead in
large salaries to take care of. You
can get down to rock bottom. Now
is the time that many great concerns
of the future will make their start.
Why not you?
GOVERNMENT?
Get into the government of your
city, state or the nation, with the
idea, not of being a demagogue, but
a statesman. Learn the facts about
our government, find out what it will
take to make it a good government
and devote your life to that job. These
are only a few suggestions. But the
main thing is?do something.
A life spent in idleness the next
few years will in all probability never
amount to anything. Do something.
R. G. BELL.
Great Change
Noticed Here
South Carolina school conditions arc
far different from what they were a
hundred years ago, a University of
South Carolina professor lately pointed
out.
The teacher of the old field school at
Indiantown, Williamsburg county, for
instance, taught for 12 months, getting
off only a few days at Christmas
and on the Fourth of July. School
started early in the morning and the
pupils barely got home by sundown.
The school had only one window. The
boys pupils sat on hard high-pitched
benches, studied Webster's Blue Hack
Speller, the multiplication table, Bike's
Arithmetic, Murray's Grammar, and a
little geography. The pupils brought
their cold dinner which consisted of
fried potatoes, cold rice, and mush
cornbread. "There was much choking
and pounding of backs to unchokc,"
according to a chronicler. "The odors
of fried food were left on the well
bucket, ahd often a film of grease
floated 011 the water."
Discipline in the schools was kept up
by the free use of stout hickory
switches. The principal of an Edgefield
school often inflicted 150 lashes,
frequently ruining a pair of heavy
winter pantaloons at a single whipping.
