People do not reach maturity by counting birthdays.” This Avas the gist of Mr. Strong’s talk in chapel Thursday morning, March 2nd. Recently, there seems to be a trend toAvard individualism—individualistic thinking as Avell as individualistic manner. Students are being influenced and urged to depend upon their own opinions. This reminds one per haps of Barrett Wendel In a Good Writing Style “Don’t be ashamed of your oaa-ii ideas; they may turn out to be just as good as any body else’s.” A recent joke brought to the campus goes: “A very enthusiastic teacher Avas conducting a recitation. During the nerve-racking process, one student gazed for quite a. AA’hile out of the AvindoAV near by. “What are you looking at?” inquired the eager teacher. “Oh, I am thinking,” replied the indus trious pupil. “Goodness,” returned the irate teacher, “this is no place to think!” On (he contrary, college is a place in which avc must learn to think. We must groAv up in the correct Avay, and not by merely count ing birthdays. A Patron Saint We live in a world where* men are rushing here and there trying to facilitate the tre mendous task of living; a world Avhere the* globe turns on its axis bringing to some nations day and others night, to some sad ness and some joy; to all it brings a world mixed Avith riches and deprivations, exalta tions and abasement. It is a Avonder that men take the time in such a Avorld to think about the great spirits of the past. Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland was born about 381 A. 1). and his work con sisted largely in the organization of Chris tian societies and charity Avork among the Irish people. lie planted Christian faith in regions Avhich had not yet come under the SAArny of the gospel. His career is involved in considerable obscurity. Widely varying vieAvs have been held by modern scholars with regard to his activities—some going so far as to treat all the account of his labours as the fictitious creation of a later age. But men have ahvays had their heroes. Hero-worship seems to be a part of man’s nature. Every nation has had in it some person Avho has exemplified their ideals of a great spirit. After great men are dead men sing praises of their heroes, place halos around their images and AA-orship them. There are other men Avho come later and try to discount all that has been said or done by their forefathers in honor of these heroes. Some men extract the good from their spiritual heritage and as a result live on a higher plane. We have in our world both types: Those aaIio A\ T ish to be their own heroes and worship themselves and those Avho are able to recognize and emulate other spirits nobler than themseUes. It is this unselfish spirit in the Irish that keeps alive their reverence for their patron saint. Correction In the February number of The Campus Mirror, it Avas reported that Miss Mabel Dockett is teaching in Tyler, Texas. Miss Dockett is on the faculty at Saint Philips Junior College, San Antonio, Texas. We Avish to apologize for this mistake. Miss Mosetta Miles Unable to Teach Schoolmates and friends of Mosetta Miles, of Macon, Ga., member of the class of 1929 of Spelman College, Avill regret to hear that she has been unable to carry out her regular duties as teacher since December, 1932, on account of illness. Miss Miles Avas instructor in the County Training School in Douglas, Georgia.
