Have you ever thought how much time you idly waste each day. or have you analyzed the time you give to each phase of your activities?

Benjamin Franklin was an economist in time as in all things. Each day he planned so as to have time for work, play, service, self-improvement and communion with his Heavenly Father. Thomas Edison made his first and some of his most important inventions during his ipare time. Henry Ford created his first "Lizzie" during his idle moments. And so, we see that the consideration and value of time well ipent has played a great role in the success of 3ur outstanding Ameircan citizens.

As in professional life, so in college, the consideration of time is worthwhile.

Everyone needs time for work, for rest, for eating, and for play, but these should be planned in a proportion relative to their importance.

Few students have schedules filled to the *29 '30 extent of having no spare time.

Most of us '29 spend this spare time in—doing nothing. We '31

AN ARTIST OF THE SAM) HILLS In the little town of Southern Pines, N'mth Carolina, there lives an artist. He is not a painter who talks of Raphael and Hitian, and not a sculptor nor a musician.

He works in wood, and the instruments he uses are the plane and calipers. The masters he studiees and strives to equal are Guarnerias and Aniati, the famous violinists. He is a violin maker.

He is more than a craftsman; he is an artist. The creation of his brain and hands are not mere peices of wood; they are things having almost life and soul.

The artist is Allen Roberts, a native of England, but since 1901 a citizen of Southern Pines. His entire life has been devoted to the study and making of violins. Since the time when he first fashioned a violin and felt the thrill of a creator, he has never thought of following any other vocation. He is completely under the spell of the king of musical instruments. He talks violins, thinks violins, studies violins, and dreams violins. All the energy of his mind and body have been devoted to this one task.

Thus, the man has cultivated his talent into a lovely and beautiful thing.. From the wood of the North Carolina hills he fashions his work of art. He finds jo; in the hills and the wood, they yield; he finds joy in both the making of his violins and in the finished product, and by that product, he is giving joy to the world.

Could anyone live a more radiant life than this?

During our high school career, all of us were told an innumerable number of times, and all of us had strongly impressed upon us the fact that we were no longer children but high school students; being such, we must leave our childish habits and manners and act the part of high school students. When a girl has reacher the The Three Cs college age she has, presumably, attained the manners which a college girl should have.

MORNING WATCH I wake to see the golden, dewy night draw near its end; To watch God's starry candles slowly burn out, one by one; And with my Heavenly Father to "commune as friend with friend," From dusky, cold-gray morn until the rising of the sun.

I kneel to pray there in the cloistral shadows cool and dim, And ask my God to help me, in my world of commonplace, To live the like that Jesus lived, (for I would follow Him) — To find in simple things a depth of beauty and a grace.

And when the turquoise dawn begins to break upon the land, A tranquil peace comes to me that I"ve never had before; God is so very near, and holds my hand within His Hand.

When pools of golden sunlight come to ripple on my floor, I remember that I cannot always dream among the stars,— I must consume in work for Him the stlength I've gained in prayer, Again I place my ardent soul behind its prison bars— But mother says I never brush the star-dust from my hair ....
