men? Brunette or Blonde?

With rare, toothsome viands we have
been regaled,
As to doing them justice, not one of
us failed.
This banquet, the grouch of a cynic
would melt—
Our President's wearing a new rubber belt.
In pleasure, or business there's more
or less "fuss,"
Yet we nothing accomplish by pausing to "cuss."
Keep clear of dissension, and do not
despond,—

We're an odd lot of mortals, some
humble, some proud.
Some few favor soltitude, others a
crowd.
While many will sidetrack a task well
begun—
Like a second hand "Flivver," "They
don't choose to run!"

This trite little maxim keep ever in
mind,
Grasp Time by the forelock, his pate's
bald behind,
Don't let opportunity once pass you
by,—
"The water's not missed 'till the well
has run dry."

There's naught in complaining, it
shortens one's life.
Then, eschew "Family Jars," between
husband and wife.
Be wise! Pluck a thistle, in its stead
plant a flower,—
"Things sweet to the taste, in digestion prove sour."

This evening, like Byron, say, "On
with the dance,"
The thrill of the "Terpsichore" nothing supplants.
Should you feel overweary, sit down
for a spell,—
After resting, you'll flnd that you're
every "WHIT-WELL."

In this rough game called life, study
carefully your play.
And don't lose a point, if you're sure
you can stay,
Although you may always see what
you can see—
Don't try to play bridge with a "heathen Chinee."

If hunting in season and stalking big
game.
You are eager to bag it, and add to
your fame,
Don't shoot 'till your sure 'tis a deer,
not a cow.
If a "BAER," then "RUSSELL,"
don't stir up a "ROWE."
Epilog
If we wish to flourish in -worldly affairs.
We shouldn't be haughty, or cultivate
"airs,"
Or act supercilious and turn up our
nose,
At our humbler neighbors in plainer
clothes,
A wise God created us equal, all,
Some soon to rise to fame, while others will fall,
Then don't hoard up riches, or be
overproud.
Capacious side pockets, don't go with
a shroud.

The right to confer the degree of
bachelor of science in education was
granted to the college two years ago.
Last year 11 were graduated in this
course and on August 3 next 12 more
students will receive this degree. At
present there are 33 college freshmen
preparing for this course while the
sophomore class numbers 29. Last
year the enrollment of the college was
426 students while during the term
just coming to a close the enrollment
was 476. This flgure is close to the
maximum capacity of the school,
which is equipped to take care of 500
students. Thirty-seven counties of the
state are represented in the enrollment.

Loyalty Fund Discussed
After the election means of raising
money for the Loyalty fund were discussed. It was finally decided that
there should be a chairman of each
county to help raise funds. The Deed
of Trust of the Loyalty Fund was
also read and discussed. This Deed of
Trust provides for the place in which
the funds should be banked and makes
provision for a standing committee
to administer the money. Announcement was made that the fund now aggiegates nearly $1500. It was also

Talk on "Our School"
In his address, which had as its
theme, "Our School," Dr. Armstrong
discussed the great improvements in
process and in contemplation. The
foundation of the new training school
is completed, the first floor is flnished
and the building will be ready for use
by October 1 next. The structure is
being erected by the state at a cost of
$134,000 and when equipped will represent an investment of $150,000.
During the past year, a new postoffice has been installed in the present
administration building, providing a
great convenience to all attending the
college.

Measure of Personality
Dr. Robertson used for his theme
the impalpable and powerful influence
of personality as displayed in the
things men and women do and say.
No one knows just what personality
is, he said, but industrial and educational institutions, led by scientists
and thinkers, endeavor to find a
means of measuring and detecting
this elusive and vital quality. The best
definitions of personality have reduced themselves in the end merely
to some one's opinion of some one
else. The most useful attempts to
measure and estimate personality
have been based upon a survey of past
achievements rather than a rating of
characteristic traits.
Recounting the five key questions
which have been used by the committee on personality measurement of the
American Council on Education, Dr.
Robertson urged his hearers to consider what answers might be given in
estimate of their personalities by those
who would base their answers on an
observation of things said and done.
The questions are How are you and
others affected by his appearance and
manner? Does he need constant prodding or does he go ahead wan his
woik without being told? Does he get
others to do what he wishes? How
does he control his emotions? Has he
a program with definite purposes in
terms of whieh he distributes his time
and energy?
Appearance is Important
Appearance is important, said Dr.
Roberbson, pointing out how expressions, tones of voice and countless
other small items in one's general appearance make their lasting impression on others who judge one's real
personality by the way in which it is
outwardly displayed. The things a person does and says are constantly creating a picture, true or false, of his
inner personality in the minds of
those who meet him.
Our own habitual acts then. Dr.
Robertson pointed out, are the telltale
checks of our personality which give
acquaintances, employers and supervisors their estimate of what we are.
Even one's inner desire to achieve
great things can be measured only by
what one does toward winning the
goal.
The Teachers' Reward

The acts in which personality is
manifested, said the speaker, are
doubly important for a teacher, who
may exhibit his personality either by
thwarting and disturbing the development of the boys and girls who come
for instruction or by patiently integrating a new personality, helping it
to win its fullest growth. It is the opportunity of a teacher to change unpromising personalities for the better,
an achievement which is, in itself, a
higher compensation than any other
occupation can offer.
