The examinations have passed and
our parents are this week receiving a
report of our grides which .will indi-
cate the work done by us. Have we
done our best during the past term.
Will this report cause the loved ones
at home to be proud of the .sacrifices
they are making that we may receive
the benefits of a college training?
We may be able to satisfy ourselves
as to our low grades and decide that
we are getting along fine. But how
can we explain to the folk at home
that our "studies must not be allowed
to Interfere with our college educa-
tion?" It is said that the social life
in college is one-half of the students'
education. Father and mother re-
ceive the report of good grades in
classes with much pleasure; do they
receive and welcome the report of the
other half? In the majority of cases
they frown upon the social career of
their son or daughter and especially
when the report from his or her
studies is bad.
Take part in the social life of the
college but always remember that
you are here to receive instruction in
the different courses taught in the
college.

Cottage Home girls enjoyed- finite
a siege of outing last week. On Fri-
day afternoon about l:!!0 o'clock Mr.
and Mrs. Hillsinan took a large num-
ber of the girls out to Round moun-
tain. Some of the girls took their
crocheting and tatting and worked
and gossiped while others explored
the mountain. As the sun was sink-
ing in the west Mr. Hillsinan as-
sisted by Misses Effie Baker and
Frances Stewart spread supper then J
called the "indii'trialings" who de-
spite their declaration for love of
work were glad to lay It aside and
enjoy the nice spread.
Again on Saturday the same crowd
accompanied by tatting shuttles
crochet needles and embroidery
hoops went out to the Bayou and
spent the whole afternoon. Some of
the girls who wore not inclined to
"tattle" and "broidery" explored the
pump house wter tank and woods
until we beard fifteen rail's for sup-
per. We took til's as a signal to be-
gin gathering sticks then we made a
bon fire and rousted our wcinies.
After supper wo found a swing and
"swnng" until it grew into the "wee
hours" of nleht. Then all set out for
home declaring even if it were exam
week that the sweets mixed in took
away most of the bitter.
