see about getting more students for
Hit year. Probably the most cer
tain way to have a large freshman
eliM for next year is to get every
nu la college to urge some n
lean to come next year- Each man
at Mercer now should write to at
^least two men who will enter college
next year. A personal letter set
ting forth the merits of Mercer
would do * more to influence men
than anything that could be done.
Every college in the state can tend
out circulars to prospective students,
: but when personal letters sre writ-
ton we have advertising that will be

H Mercer men took it on them-

would have more effective advertis

■ Suppose tost each man set out the
letters to prominent men in the state,
, all toe aoedi would be advertised and
too whole state would be' discussing
Mercer. The school which is upper

"toe state wfll heve toe largeet num

PRIDE IN THE SOCIETIES.
I-
One of the things that causes a
Into of iatareat in the literary aoeie-
ties is that none of toe students take
pride in too soot sty halls. Although

ton, Walter George, and Tom Wat-
ssa, the apeaken forget these facts.
However the entire setting should
^V^be rajuvinatod and mads beautiful
and dignified. One of the first
■ Ahp toot should be done is to put
in a rostrum that trill put the chair,
man to look mon imposing. New
furniture should he installed and
the satire rooms beautified to when
every member would be gied to go
and try his oratorical abilities.
After all a man’s heart will be
when his treason lies and when
that place is made the society hplls
we ean have better attendance. lust
the extent of pride a man takes in
his society will very near mark the
extent of his attendance. When the
societies develope where they have
a group feel and when meeting a
man on the campus each will say
then is'a Ciceronean or a Phi Delta
then we will have societies that will
mean something.. One of the best
ways to do this is to let each mem
ber take a personal pride in the
appearance of the halls. Let them
stand on the dignity of their past
history. L. W. H.

BLOSSOM TIME IN DIXIE

Blossom time in 'Dixie' land!
Perfume laden air;
My, but aint this weather fine!
All the sky Is fair!
Birds a -singing in the trees.
Natures heart a-tune;
Trouble is a stranger here.
Hnrk the singing rills;
Every heart Is filled with ilieer,
Joy stop the hills!
Blossom time in Dixie land!
Time.of love and song;
Lover's strolling hand in hand.
