religion, psychology, science?
After all, individual reading and
thought is one of the best ways to
establish a philosophy of life, and if
for no other reason, that is sufficient
reason for exploring into the many
channels of literature, even though
some of them may not appear inter

Ohr library is hidden over in the
Academic Building, with not even a
sign over the front door. It is crowded
with shelves of books, and the reading
tables are few and uninviting. Speed
the day when we shall have a beauti
ful, roomy, comfortable, adequate,
separate library building!

When a man graduates from
college and gets out into contact with
people again, they will expect him to
have a talking knowledge of a
number of good books.
Yet, how many of us even have a
favorite author of fiction, and can
tell why we prefer him above a host
of others.
In our library there are books—
and some other books. True, a fellow
can’t read many books in the little
spare time he has here. But we will
appreciate it in later life if we so
regulate our spare time that part of
it shall be spent in reading a few
carefully selected books.
And we should select with some
judgement. We should not run all to
fiction, it is all much alike, best read
for pleasure; it is like eating cake,
a bit of luxury, see?
What a wide, wide field of reading
we have to select from, even in this
rather inadequate library. Do any of
us V ever scan a collection of poems,
read a few of the poems carefully,
memorize a select verse? How many
Dr. T. O. Walton, prsident of the
A. & M. College, delivered the prin
cipal address at the opening session
of the two day regional meeting held
by the East Texas Chamber of Com
merce in Jacksonville Tuesday and
Wednesday, January 25th and 26th.
Other prominent speakers appear
ing on the first day’s program includ
ed: W. B. Cook, agricultural agent
of the Missouri Pacific Lines, who
discussed the essentials to success in
fruit and truck growing; C. H.
Alvord, director of the Extension
Service at A. & M. College, who
talked on the relationship of the
extension service of A. & M. college
and the East Texas Chamber of
Commerce; O. B. Webb, assistant to
the president of the T. & P. Railroad,
who delivered a general address.
An agricultural program was the
main feature throughout the meeting,
but subjects of interest to business
men were also taken up. The second
day’s program included addresses by
G. V. McNallie, marketing agent of
the Cotton Belt Railroad, who dis
cussed the marketing of perishable
products: C. P. Blackwell, who talked
on the correct use of commerciai
fertilizers and A. K. Short, who
delivered an address on “A Safe Plan
for 1927.”
Eugene Blount, Nacogdoches,
chairman of the finance department
of the East Texas Chamber of Com
merce, talked on the value of the
organization to East Texas, and
Judge J. W. Fitzgerald of Tyler made
an address on the “Future of East
Texas.”
R. B. Leopold, director of the
organization service department of
the East Texas Chamber of Com
merce spoke on community service
during the afternoon of the first day.
“MASCOT” PRESENTED TO
SMALL AUDIENCE.
There is always the possibility of
having too much of a good thing all
at once, at least that is the way it ap
peared from the size of the crowd at
the opera last Friday night. Of
course the opera could not be expect
ed to be as good as the one “I
Pagliacci,” presented by the Man
hattan Opera Company but it was
good enough to merit all the applause
it gained and more too. The majority
of those who attended it were well
pleased with the singing.
The Y. M. C. A. has taken the big
job upon its shoulders of trying to
bring high class entertainments here.
The Senior Class gets a certain per
centage of all the proceeds above
expenses. They made about $160.00
off of the opera “Pagliacci” but they
were not so lucky this time because
they not only failed to make any
money but the “Y” lost over $100.00
on the entertainment. From the
looks of that statement the corps
might not get to have so very many
entertainments like they have started
out having.
