NEWS = OF INTEREST IN THE SOCIAL REALM THE TEST. What is failure? It’s only a spur To a man who receives it right, And it makes the spirit within him stir To go in once more and fight. If you never have failed its an even guess You never have won a high success. What is a miss? Its a practice shot Which we often must make to enter The list of those who can hit the spot Of the bull’s eye in the center. If you never have sent your bullet wide You never have put a mark inside. What is a knock-down? A count of ten Which a man may take for a rest, It will give him a chance to come up again -And do his particular best. If you’re never been bumped in a rat tling go, Yqu never have come to the scratch, I know. —Edmund Vance Cook. Missionary Society Tea.

In the roll of the 781 students at the Georgia Normal & Indus trial College at Milledgeville, for the past year, not a single name appears of a student from out side the state of Georgia. Georgia girls were admitted first and there was no room for more. There is no law against the ad mission of a student from anoth er state, but President M. M. Parks has announced that it is the policy of the institution to give preference to Georgia girls and hence, with the great num ber of applications on file all stu- 1 dents from other states are 4 crowded out. The- record of last year is re-' markable. It is rather unusual for a college to have all students from one state and none from ’ outside the state borders. The Georgia Normal & Industrial. College at Milledgeville has made a unique record in its patriotic and wholehearted service to the state. Kingham Breakfast Ba con at Paul Nolen & Cos.
