The roses blush a deeper hue 'Neath glance of autumn sun,
And summer flower'ts pine away To think their work is done.
The autumn winds are whistling1 The barren branches through.
Brown the leaves all scattered lie-_ With nothing more to do.
November's not withered or dead; This wonderful month of ours
Drest by nature in regal splendor, Envies not the bringer of flowers.
She rises superb as the lofty pine; like a vision of a brilliant pearl ;
Like a dazzle of walls of jasper; Like a glimpse of another world. Radiant! Perfect! M. E. P., '22.

[Reflections of a college girl concerning a small boy s atti

tude toward his delinquencies.] When dad was a boy, he liked to work! He adored it! Oh, yes! He thrived on it! He was a geyser of energy, he couldn't tire; he split the kindling; brought in the wood

and the water; hoed the garden; watered the lawn, milked the cow; fed the stock; mended the harness; helped his
mother; studied his lessons; never missed his spelling, liked to read; washed behind his ears; neither absent nor tardy; never remained after school--but always came home

whistling with a shining face.

,, ,

Such is the myth of age and the land of used-to-be.

Has it changed? Not a whit. Adam told it to Cam; Oam

being a vengeful person passed it on. His descendants

dwelled upon the ancient combination that would conquer

heaven and the old hypocrisy has continued to be nour

ished ever since. Dad never lived as leisurely as I. re

fection vanished from the earth when I came here. Ask

dad--he knows.

, T

I'm so glad I'll be a grown up man some day. ihen 1

can tell my children what I used-to-do and what I used-to-

be when I was a boy. I'll be as industrious as Benjamin

Franklin--forget that I was a vegetable instead of a flower,

and have the energy of Teddie Roosevelt. I'll try Mrs.

Do-as-you-were-done-by's method and even have the brain

of Edison.

The Prep II class all hiked away.

To Jones' pond they turned their step,

All jolly good girls and full of pep.

They romped and skipped and talked and sang

Until the woods with echos rang. Thru oak shrubs thick and pine groves tall

Iney heard cold weather give her call. They found the lake with moss clad trees

And sunny spots unhid by leaves,

songs, and ate their lunch

And drank their bottles of cherry punch.

So after fun they faced about,

And to the college trod their route.

<rWell, I just will not go back, that is all there is to it,

the very insult of her talking about me in that way, ana

then asking me to come back aand spend the night with

her. No! I won't go, and what's more, I'll tell her the

reason why I won't," stored Edith before her mother had

the least chance to find out what the matter was. The

mother finally discovered from the sobbing girl that while

she was sitting on the porch of her best chum, she heard

the following conversation between Mary and her mother:

"Well daughter, I won't have her here, that is all there

is to it," said Mrs. Daniels. "But mother," was Mary's reply, "I know she s not very

clean, and may even have fleas on her, still she will be com

pany for me."

, '

"No, I will not have such a thing m my house," was the

only reply Mary receieved. "Since you insist I reckon it would be best; I will have

her tomorrow night and then drop her," agreed Mary.

"Why mother," said Edith, "I just couldn't get away

from that place quickly enough."

Edith's mother, thinking she would allow for misun

derstanding, 'phoned Mary that Edith wasn't feeling very

well and couldn't come that night.

The next morning Mary came by for Edith very early,

she was in her car, and in the back seat was a bag that

seemed as if it had something alive in it.

Mary, looking very sad, asked Edith to ride out in the

country with her. She told her she had found a little kit

ten, but that her mother insisted on her getting rid of it,

for it was dirty and had fleas; so she was going to drop

him near a farmhouse.

The only part of the conversation Edith had missed

overhearing while sittting on the porch was

"Drop her kitten near a farmhouse." Stella Taylor.

September Thoughts*. When September days with their cheer and sunshine have come, 'tis then our thoughts turn from the spent pleasures of summer time, and wandering back, dwell upon the pleasant memory of our school days. We think of the day when we were called new gins. How we longed to be as happy and feel as much at home as the old girls did. And then the memory of our joys and sorrows come quickly to our minds. The memory ox each day is dear to our hearts, and we would not have one changed, for with every day something was added to our life that we felt, made it better and more worth while. Our school days are1 over, but our thoughts and best wishes are still with you, S. G. S. N. C.

THE

SOUTH GEORGIA STATE NORMAL COLLEGE

A BRANCH OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA

FOR YOUNG WOMEN

(an Advereisement)

this institution is youno. and therefore still, has to combat many erroneous notions about its nature and function.

IT IS NOT AND NEVER HAS BEEN a District Agricultural school,
those are excellent institutions, but this is not one of them.

IT IS NOT AND NEVER HAS BEEN a preparatory school of any
kind or to any school or college, there are no preparatory schools belonging to the University system.

IT IS NOT AND NEVER HAS BEEN an industrial school in the
SENSE OF TRAINING FOR ANY TRADE.

IT IS LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO OFFER FOUR YEAR---- BACHELOR'S DEGREE----COURSES. AND WILL DO SO WHEN A SUFFICIENT PERCENTAGE OF ITS STU DENTS TO JUSTIFY THE EXPENSE TO THE STATE BECOME BONA FIDE APPLI CANTS FOR DEGREE COURSES.
*****

IT HAS A TRAINING SCHOOL AND SECONDARY DEPARTMENT LIMITED IN NUM BERS TO THE NEEDS OF THE COLLEGE.

This college understands that its business is to train leaders for life IN Georgia, it therefore "stands for standards." it owes it to the state to do so.

it OFFERS NO "SNAP" COURSES. IT HOLDS ITS STUDENTS IN CLASS TO EX

Large gifts from the City of Valdosta augmenting the reasonable APPROPRIATIONS OF THE STATE HAVE ENABLED THE COLLEGE TO OFFER WITHOUT ADDED COST TO THE STATE OR TO STUDENTS. ADVANTAGES FEW OTHER COLLEGES CAN EQUAL. IT IS AN IDEAL COLLEGE FOR YOUNG LADIES WHO WANT TO BE SOMETHING AND DO SOMETHING FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD.

That styles may follow a general trend, and yet find infinite opportunity for individualized ex pression, is evidenced in the many clever original touches which appear in the new Fall Shoes.
