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 read and which will have s personal J- H Mercer men took it on them- ■elves to advertise Mercer by let ters fo friends over the state we would have more effective advertis ing than has been put on for Mercer. ■ 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 most in ton' mind of the people of "toe state wfll heve toe largeet num ber of students. That school will also have aa easy time getting mon- 'ey for eadosnaeats.

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 ths societies have boon made historic by saeh orators as WB1 D. Upshaw, TUm- Hardwick, John Roach Strat. 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. ce BLOSSOM TIME IN DIXIE .
