was full of sound common sense advice. The
day was dark and gloomy, but in commenting
on the weather he said he thought it better than
While he believes in all the year round

New Year’s day, however, is a good time for
ene to de as a merchant does; shut oneself
off from the world, take stock, clear out the
junk, check up mistakes, get an outlook for the
year, then open the doors, let in the sun-
shine and air, and invite the customers in and

give them the best one has in gtock. Some

quotations from the talk are these: “Nothing
in life is so bad that one cannot live through
it, and one can enjoy life if he will.” “No
matter how hard a proposition is, it is testing
the mettle in you.” “Don’t waste time re-
gretting the past, yesterday is gone and to-

‘morrow 2 not yet in your grasp; only now

is yours.”

delegate to the ninth International convention
of the Student Volunteer Movement for Fore-
ign Missions, which was held in Indianapolis,
Ind. from Dec. 28-Jan. 1 brings back an in-
spiring report. The 6500 delegates gathered
there from colleges and universities in the

United States and Canada were working for

the one common cause—World wide Evange-
lization. Great speakers from all parts of the
world were there, and one of such fame as
Dr. Mott, Dr. Speer, and Dr. Eddy. After
they had delivered platform addresses to the
convention they held informal meetings, when
delegates could have an opportunity to ask
questions on the subjects that had been de-

livered. Printed daily bulletins and morning | at the close of the fall term.

Interesting letters have recently come from
former members of the faculty. Miss Com-
fort who holds a business position in San Fran-
cisco, writes the interesting bits of news the
Letter carries to her. Miss McGowan a critic
teacher in the teachers college of Greeley,

Colorado, says that the News Letter is a wel-

come visitor.
Misses Goggin and Reeves, who are away

on a leave of absence, find the letter as inter-
esting as a personal letter from a friend. Mr.
A. M. Proctor, who taught in the college for
s-veral summers, has completed his work for

Most of the faculty went to their homes or
spent the holidays with relatives and friends.

The Misses Scoville and Miss Gray, living too
far away to reach their homes, spent the holi-
days keeping house for Dr. and Mrs. Carr
during their absence.

President Wright went to Baltimore and

Philadelphia during the holidays on college

business. His daughter and son, Pearl and
Robert accompanied him.

Mr. Underwood was in Baltimore for several

days.
_ Two new cars, a Star Sedan and a Ford
coupe, enter the college with the New Year.
The happy owners are Mrs. Grimes and Miss
Mattie Scoville.

Several new students entered for the new
term, taking the places of the few who dropped
out or finding a place in town. These carry
the enrollment beyond 500.

President Wright recently spoke in Roanoke
Rapids at a business men’s banquet under the
auspices of the City Schools.

Misses Lytle, Southall and Sharpe had a
very enjoyable Southern trip during the holi-
days. An auto trip through Western Florida
revealed the wonders of this region. Xmas
was spent in Havana, Cuba. From here the
boat trip across the Gulf to New Orleans,
La., owas taken, where’ several days
were spent sight seeing. They returned via
Atlanta and visited the Stone Mountain.

They brought many interesting things from
the tropics—much to the delight of the Model
School fourth grade who are making a pro-
ject of this trip.

figure and coloring, judging the girl not only
as to the workmanship on the dress, but also
as to her selection of material and design.
The first part of the term was spent on
making underclothes with especial attention
to workmanship, the teacher judging each step.
In the dress problem each girl had to be her
own judge as to workmanship and was graded
by the teacher not only on her finished pro-
duct but on her judgment.
