Many are the benefits derived fron: even a small amount of time devotee to literary societies in high school. 1 choose high school because we are chiefly interested in high school, being high school pupils; but the results of literary societies are exen more gratifying in this stage of a pupil's work than even in after years, or in college work. . Naturally, the pupils sense of interest as a fine are is keener at this stage than any other, for it is just awakening to the wonderful progress that mankind has made along all lines, and especially literature. Besides the pupil's interest being) . keener for literature at this stage, the high school offers the only change a great majority have to take part in a literary society, as the number who attend college are by far in the minority. So the benefit of a high school literary society to the community at large is greater. But pupils who are fortunate enough to attend college consider themselves lucky indeed, for their ease and ppoise before the public is due to high school literary society training, to say nothing of the development that it gives in literature. Jhen last, but not least, is the spirit of interest developed by a literary society in high school. If there happens to be two societies, the greater the results, as a spirit of rivalry is incited in the pupil to make his society the best. Thus both societies make greater strides in development for where there is pride and interest, things can not lag. Emphatically, a well developed literary society is the greatest antidote for lagging interest in high school work with benefits sufficient to justify the time devoted to the work. ?Virginia Carroll, IX. r???t n !

Rivalry Keen Among Southern Towns To Get Quota Of Red Cross i Members First. Atlanta, Ga. Nov.?More than four hundred chapters of the American Red Cross and about three hundred chapter branches are organized in the southern division for the Fourth Red Cross Roll Call, November 11-25. "By organization is meant that these chapters and branches have chairmen, committees and the enthusiasm to make the Fourth Roll Call a sure success in their communities," said J. | L. McMillin, southern division man-! ager of the Red Cross, today. hove rAnnrtg from every one I of them that they are only awaiting the date to begin the campaign. First the workers themselves will renew their memberships in the Red Cross. Then every old member will be called \upon to re-enlist under the Red CrosB banner. After that, every effort will be made to get in the territory of each chapter as nearly a one hundred per cent membership in the Red Cross as it is possible to get." The southern division includes the five states of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. Last year the division, for its population, made as fine a record as any part of the country in enrollllng' Red Cross members. Tfeis year it is the eager purpose of every chapter to put the southern division on top again. A friendly but keen rivalry exista among the various chapters to be the first to report that their quotas are secured. A different system has been used this year in assigning quotas to the various chapters. Instead of determining the qupta for the division first and then dividing this out among the various chapters, each chapter carefully estimated the amount of money needed to finance its needs and its plans during the coming year. The chapter's quota was then based on this amount, and the quota for the entire division made up from the various chapter quotas. Thus, the Roll Call this year Is more than ever a local proposition in each community. When local people subscribe to the Red Cross, they are subscribing to meet local needs, and for every dollar paid for membership in frnaa tlftv Cfint? will be beDt \ LAAC7 ifctU vi vuu, ? ? ? by the local chapter to finance its plans for next year. The other fifty cents goes to national headquarters, to maintain the national work of the Red Cross. "We challenge every other chapter In the southern division to beat our Roll Call record," wrote one Roll Call chairman in North Carolina. "We intend to be the first 'over the top', for we are laying our plans to get our full quota of members early in the morning of November 11." This spirit is typical of the fray the vast majority of chapters are awaiting the Fourth Roll Call. It is a rare exception where chapters are not thoroughly organized and plans worked out to secure the quota of members easily and quiciuy. Hundreds of newspapers throughout the southern division will co-operate with the local Red CroBS chapters to make the Roll Call a success. Speak* ing of the view with which most Americans regard the Fourth Roll Call, one Atlanta paper already has called upon Atlantans to* join the Red Cross in the following editorial language: "The Red Cross Roll Calls are not 'drives', not attempts to raiBe large sums of money for untried causes, but they are institutions in the nation's life, the one time of tho year when the American people, old and young, are asked to renew tbeir memberships in the organisation that is so expressive of the national spirit and so great a benefit to the nation as a whole. "The American Red Cross is different in this respect from the Red Cross of other nations, in most of which it '.s maintained by large contributions from the wealthy. The American Red Cross is essentially democratic. It was founded by the American people. They maintained it for nearly forty years. In the war, thousands of them found in it the opportunity to serve (hey so ardently sought. "So, today, the Red Cross belongs to the American people. It gives them ihe chance they all want In their hearts to do some good in the world. Singly, their dollars for memberships might amount to little; but matched >" "tiiinni! r\thar Hollnrn frnm ??v UJ UUIllVUO VI. WVUVJ < ?> ?. w ..

"That is what Red Cross membership dollars can do. It would seem that n.% American citizen, with tho good of his country and his own community at heart, would refuse to join."
