THE HOPE AND RESULT OF
AMERICAN EDUCATION

J^ote. — The editors of Hio Alumnae News
are pleased to present to the alumnae this
address made by Miss Charl Ormond "Wil-
liams at the National Council of Education,
February 27, ]922, in Chicago, 111. Subject:
"The Hope and Besult of American Edu-
cation ' '.

The democracy establislied by our fathers
nearly a century and a half ago provided
for equality of opportunity never reached
by, any other people before. They made
America the synonym for freedom, justice
and opportunity and to our shores from
that day have come teeming millions eager-
ly in search of the avenues of self-expres-
sion and self-development which our form
of government made possible.

Closely interwoven and intertwined in the
very foundation stones of this scheme of
government are the fibers and tendrils of
our greatest national institution, the public
school. The evolution of their educational
purpose was slow and laborious, due to
traditions brought from the Ol'd World, dis-
tances, and difficulties of communication.
However, as the democratic impulse beat
stronger and stronger in the hearts of these
people and confidence in the republic grew
from day to day, the educational outlook
and purpose began to assume form and to
develop like proportions. It is a far cry
from the early colonial school, discriminat-
ing between the needs of the poor and the
rich, to the present day conception of pub-
lic education with its equality of opportunity
to all races and creeds alike, and we have
just cause for pride and glory in our
achievements.

That we have not, however, reached the
zenith of our possibilities in public education,
indeed, that we have not properly safe-
guarded the life of our free institutions,
was brought home to us in telling force by
the revelations of the great World War.
It was largely through the draft that our
attention was focused upon the number of
men who could neither read nor write, those
who could not serve in the army overseas be-
cause of physical disabilities, and that other
group of people considerable in size, who
though living imder the protection of our
Stars and Stripes had not been imbued with
the spirit of our government and continually
sought to handicap and thwart its plans in
the hour of its greatest crisis.

We began to see very plainly what ought
to liave been obvious before, that our school
system, though it might be free, was by no
means universal. When we began to take
stock of our educational advantages it was
found that the school terms varied in length
from twenty-two to thirty-six weeks in dif-
ferent states of the union, and that in spite
of cumpulsory legislation on the statue
books, the attendance upon them was very
poor. At the height of the war thsre devel-
oped such shortage of teachers to fill the
school houses of the nation that, for a

time at least, it filled with alarm the hearts
of our people. It served to bring to mind
very forcibly the lack of preparation for
teaching which had prevailed in large areas
of the country before the war. There are
approximately 700,000 teachers in America
today. Of this number 1.50,000 are under
twenty-one years of age; 30,000 have had
just eight years of elementary schooling;
only 120,000 have had four years of high
school followed by two years normal or col-
lege work; 1.50,000 have taught only two
years, while one-half of them have taught
less than four years.

The teacher training institutions of the
country are turning out about one-fifth of
tl;e number of teachers annually required to
place ' ' a well trained teacher in hearty ac-
cord with American ideals in every class
room in America". Larger and yet larger
support must be given to these institutions
else we shall be cutting off our stream of
supply at its very source. We cannot face
this situation in the future with any degree
of confidence knowing that the average
salary of our teachers is less than .'ti700.00
a year, these being the latest figures obtain-
able. In this year of financial stress the
daily papers carry all too frequently ac-
counts of the closings of schools through-
out the country for lack of funds and many
teachers of excellent training and experience
in their work will receive this year less than
this annual average salary, a situation that
ought not to be permitted to arise and one
that ought to be effectually dealt with when
it does arise. Banks, merchants, farmers, and
business of every kind which might have
gone under for lack of financial support dur-
ing this period of liquidation have been
bolstered up and kept going and yet the
schools, the biggest business of any munici-
pality, state, or nation have been forced to
suspend operations for the same reason.
When our people, as individuals and as a
nation, really understand that our schools
are the bulwark of our liberties and the
greatest protection oifered to our free insti-
tutions, searching investigations will be
made until we have arrived at a plan of
adequate support of our schools for present
needs and wise preparations for the exi-
gencies of the immediate future.

There is not time nor is this the place to
enter upon an evaluation of our course of
study in the public schools — whether it is
too full or too long drawn out is a fruitful
source of discussion, the end of which is
not yet in sight. Complete concord of
opinion on this subject has not been reached
by our educational experts, but I think
we may not be challenged in saying that
definite fundamentals in the preparation for
life and citizenship should be given to
e\ery child, followed and supplemented by
training most needed to fit for his situ*tion
in life, the choice to be made by himself
after he has been acquainted with the vari-
ous lines of endeavor open to him.

When one travels throughout the length
and breadth of this great land of ours and

sees our miglity forests dwindling away, our
enormous water power going to waste, our
broad rivers with undeveloped facilities for
transportation, the millions of acres of arid
lands in the West waiting for the touch of
human hands to blossom as the rose, mil-
lions more of acres in other sections whose
fertility is exhausted by years of unscien-
tific agriculture, when one views with alarm
the enormous waste of human life due to
preventable diseases and lack of proper in-
structions in health and hygiene, one can-
not but feel that systematic, scientific in-
struction must be given to all of our people
if we are to conserve and develop our human
and material resources to the desired end.
One has only to go to our great centers
of population and observe the colonies of
foreign people speaking the language of
their native country, easy victims of spuri-
ous doctrines, the unrest prevalent among
the workers breeding antagonism between
the employer and the employed; the rotten-
ness of our city governments, sore spots
eating into the very vitals of our nation;
the cupidity, graft, and ignorance always
on hand in our legislative halls; to arrive
at the conclusion that education has only
just begun to function in our country.

It has become a trite saying that the life
and strength of a democracy is in direct
ratio to the enlightenment of its citizen-
ship and it has never been challenged. When
this S'mple truth finds lodgment in the
hearts of all of our people, there will be
given a force and a direction to the great
American educational scheme that has never
quickened it before. Having performed just
one time the duties and responsibilities of
a full-fledged citizen of the republic, I am
profoundly impressed with the euormous-
uess of our task and the sacredness of our
obligations. There rests upon the teaching
profession in this country today a responsi-
bility so serious in its very nature, so far
reaching in its consequences that it staggers
the imagination of our leaders and chal-
lenges the best efforts which the united
profession can bring to bear upon it.

It is a task of sufficient magnitude alone
to set out upon the mobilization of the
mental, moral, and physical resources of
this great country of ours — but that even
is not the end. Whether we will it or not
the hopes and aspirations of all of the nations
of the earth are centered in us, the freest
of all free people. We cannot regard this
trust lightly, America is still the world's
great leader in democracy and we must so
shape our affairs at home and direct our
policies abroad that these yearnings of
people everjT\-here may find satisfaction and
peace and confidence in the leadership which
we have given to them.

It is right and proper and a sign of hope
that the great nations of the earth have sat
down together to devise some plan for inter-
national arbitration and for the elimination
of some of the causes of war. Whatever the
scheme devised may be, now that the councils
have disbanded, and their work has been

ALUMNAE NEWS

given to the world the task has been only
just begun, for no plan will be stronger than
the public sentiment and moral sense of
humanity. If their work is to endure and
is to be followed by greater steps toward
world peace, then the great teaching agencies
of the earth, the school, the press, the plat-
form, and the pulpit must begin their work.
The children of one country do not hate the
children of another country unless they are
taught to do so. The great mind and
heart of the world cherish good will and
abhor war.

In the following ringing editorial, the
Washington Post has struck deep into the
hearts of the great problems of international
good will and world peace : ' ' Deeper than
conferences, deeper than national policies of
friendly intercourse, deeper than individual
genius can reach or collective effort accomp-
lish, lies the talisman that will abolish
war. It is education — the abolition of
ignorance. Until humanity is really edu-
cated it will not be free from plague,
famine, slavery, or war. Ignorance is pro-
tean in its shapes and devilish in its unex-
pected appearances. It acts through all the
base passions and lusts. There would be no
War if ignorance were supplanted by edu-
cation, for selfishness would be eliminated,
prejudice and hatred diminished, and it
would be perceived that no war, however
materially successful, is profitable. The
winners of the late war are as unfortunate
as the losers. It is not true to assert that
"there never was a good war or a bad
peace ' ', because a war for liberty is blessed,
and peace that accepts brutal violation of
natural right is shameful. But it is true
that war is an indictment of the intelligence
of man, conclusive proof of his ignorance. ' '

That the people of the earth may develop
to the limit of their possibilities, this de-
velopment to be based upon a right and just
and honorable understanding among them,
is education's chiefest task and here lies
America's golden opportunity. Education
is the best possible preparation for war, if
wars must come; it is the only sure prepara-
tion for universal brotherhood and world
peace. Let us have faith that America will
prove true to her trust and worthy of this
vast responsibility which the nations of the
earth by common consent have placed upon
her — that she will emerge from lier task,
untarnished, unscathed, a bright and shin-
ing example of the ability and determination
of a free people to develop themselves.

of paid up members was found to be pres-
ent.

Dr. Foust, who was present, then spoke
a few words of welcome to the alumnae.

The report of the General Secretary-
Treasurer was given and a vote of thanks
extended her for her work.

Jane Summerell reported that the Treas-
urer 's report had been audited and found

Miss Mary Taylor Moore, reporting for
the College Credit Committee, announced
that the College had been accepted as an
A-1 College by the Southern Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools, along
with five other colleges in the state, these
being the University, Trinity, Davidson,
Wake Forest and Meredith. She also re-
ported that we had applied for member-
ship in the American .Association of Col-
legiate Alumnae, but that we would not
hear from that for several months yet.

Miss Winfiold. Chairman of the Com-
mencement Committee, asked the Secretary
to give her report. The Secretary reported
the program for the day, and also an-
nounced the green and white reunions ou
Monday.

Tlie Secretary -Treasurer then read the
reports of the work done in the various
counties for the Alumnae Home.

Under new business came the question
of raising the ahimnao fee. The discus-
sion brought out tlie fact that the oflice
was hampered on account of lack of funds,
and it was thought that the fee ami sub-
sorijition to tlu- .Vluuiuao News should be
at least two dollars. It was moved, sec-

onded anil carried that we change out
alumnae fee and subscription to the Alum-
nae News to two dollars.

Mrs. Cone, chairman of the Business Di-
vision of the Alumnae Home Committee,
reported that the Board of Trustees of the
Association had voted that mor«ing to
borrow as much as ten tliousand dollars
for the completing and equipping of the
alumnae tea room, the idea of having the
tea room having been decided upon rather
than a cafeteria.

Mrs. Weatherspoon. reporting for the
Decorating and Inspection Committee of
the Alumnae Home, said that the com-
mittee had met with representatives from
various houses to study prices and equip-
ment, but that no decision had been made
yet as to the furnishings.

The presiding officer then stated that
there was a motion on the table to Jhe
effect that we confer upon Miss Laura
Coit the title and otfice of Honorary Pres-
ident of the Alumnae and Former Stu-
dents Association. This motion was voted
on and carried.

Miss Coit, chairman of the Committee
on the Alumnae Council, gave her report,
and called on the Secretary to read the
recommendations for the formation of the
Council. It was moved, seconded and car-
ried that we accept these recommenda-
tions. They are here filed. (Note. These
recommendations were published in the
April number of the Alumnae News.)

Mrs. J. A. Brown, speaking for the
Board of Directors of the College, here
stated that the Board wished the Alumnae
Association to suggest a name for the
third new dormitory. It was moved, sec-
onded and carried that we appoint a com-
mittee to look into the matter of the
naming of the third new dormitory.

The Secretary here read telegrams from
Miss Emma .Austin and Mrs. Paul McCain.
It was moved, seconded ami carried that
greetings be sent these alumnae and that
some expression of svmpathy be sent Miss
Byrd, whose mother had just died.

The Secretary and Treasurer then said
that she hoped that the Association would
be thinking along two lines during the
coming year — that of further study for the
alumnae and more vocational guidance in
our College.

Miss Spier thanked the Secretary for
her suggestions, and it was moved, sec-
onded and carried that a committee be ap-
pointed to report in October, on the mat-
ter of vocational guidance in the College.

The Secretary then .askod the alumnae
to adjourn to the Alumnae Home, in order
that all might see the progress of w^ork on
the structure.

Tliere being no further business the
meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Ethel 0. Bollinger.
Secretary Treasurer.

Note: Several days after this meeting
a wire was received from Miss Mary Ar-
rington. saying that it was impossililo for
her to accept the presidency of the Asso-
ciation. .\t the meeting of the Board of
Trustees, which fell at this time, it was
therefore decided to send out a new ballot
for the election of President. The returns
from this election are not vet in.

Eeport of Work of General Secretary of

Alumnae and Former Students Association

June 4tli, 1921, to June 3, 1922

The work of the Alumnae Association
this year (1921-1922) has been continued
along lines similar to those originally
mapped out for the growth of the Asso-

ciation and. the building of the Alumnae
Home. ,

The three chief interests, therefore, have
been along the general lines of increasing
the membership in the Association, the
building up of the county organizations,
and the beginning of the erection of the
Alumnae Home.

In order to get in closer touch with
tlie graduates of the College, and through
interesting them, procure a larger member-
ship in the Association, a Class Secre-
taries Bureau has this year been estab-
lished, composed of one member from each
of the classes which have been graduated
from the College. Through these secre-
taries we have been able to procure many
interesting news items for the Alumnae
News, and to keep before the individuals
in the classes the necessity for a large
paid up membership in the Association, as
well as the matter of subscribing to the
Alumnae Home Fund. Partly by working
through this channel 415 graduates have
joined the Association and 331 have made
pledges to the building fund through the
class connection fund. Sixty-seven per
cent of the class of 1922 pledged $25.00
a member towards the Alumnae Building,
thus continuing the class connection fund
which was begun with last year 's class.

To increase membership in the Associa-
tion notices have been sent out numbers of
times during the year, when the fees have
become due. Encouraging responses have
been received.

Meetings have been held in Beidsville,
New Bern, Norfolk, Va., Tarboro, Rich
Square, Oxford, Charlotte, Chapel Hill,
Salisbury, Gastonia, Shelby, Greensboro,
Concord, Roanoke Rapids, Sanford and
Wadesboro, while special "get togethers, "
such as dinners or other forms of enter-
tainment have been held in Washington
City, Charlotte, Carthage, Smithfield,
Wadesboro, Asheville, Wilmington, San-
ford and Durham.

New organizations have been formed in
Lee County, at Sanford; in Richmond, at
Hamlet; in Craven County, at New Bern;
in Edgecombe, at Tarboro, and at Nor-
folk, Va. This totals forty-seven organi-
zations, with eight smaller groups, which
have worked as much as possible for the
building — making fifty-five working groups
in all. Effort has been made to enliven
the county organizations by sending out
members of the faculty from the College
to the meetings, by visiting and through
letters, and by short campaigns for the
building fund. During the last week in
March, Alumnae Home Week Campaign
was put on in all of the counties, and
many of the organizations held sales, par-
ties and entertainments of all kinds for
the Alumnae Home. At this time all of
the county reports are not in. but much
interest was shown in the week 's cam-
paign, and it served to advertise the
Alumnae Building as well as add to the
Home Fund. ^

This year has of necessity been greatly
concerned with financial interests. When
we returned to the College in September,
it was learned that plans were on foot for
the building of a cafeteria in the College
neighborhood. This would have been very
detrimental to the plans of the Alumnae
Home, so at the Founder 's Day meeting

the Board of Trustees, after careful con-
sideration, voted to start the Alumnae
Building, putting up that part contain-
ing the cafeteria and kitchen, which is
the first floor of the west wing. We had at
that time around six thousand dollars cash
and six thousand dollars in pledges, with
the assurance that we could borrow as
much as six thousand from a local t>ank
if necessary.

Urgent appeals have been made, from
time to time, for the payment of pledges
and the signing of new notes, so that to-
day our bank book shows that we have
had a total of $14,144,41 cash in the bank,
and that we hold $4,373.00 in notes, mak-
ing the whole amount in cash and notes
raised for this part of our building, $18,-
517.41.

The two campaigns then, for increased
membership and for the Alumnae Home,
have constituted the financial interest of
the year.

Aside from this there have been many
other alumnae activities of interest. The
establishing of an Alumnae Council pro-
claims a constructive step in the alumnae
work. During the first week in March
representative alumnae from all over the
state met at the College to formulate plans
for an Alumnae Council. The recommen-
dations which were drawn up at that time
and published in the April number of the
Alumnae News will be voted on at this
meeting.

The annual re-union Thanksgiving din-
ner was held during the Teachers' As-
sembly in Raleigh with one hundred or
more in attendance.

On Saturday, December 3rd, the annual
Christmas bazaar was held for the bene-
fit of the Alumnae Home. The following
counties we-re represented in the dona-
tions: Alamance, Alexander, Anson, Ashe,
Beaufort, Bladen, Buncombe, Burke, Ca-
barrus, Caldwell, Camden, Caswell, Chat-
ham, Cherokee, Cleveland, Columbus, Cum-
berland, Currituck, Davidson, Davie, Dur-
ham, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Gaston, Gran-
ville, Guilford, Halifax, Harnett. Haj--
wood, Iredell, Johnston, Lee, Lenoir, Mad-
ison, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Moore,
Nash, New Hanover, Northampton, Or-
ange, Pitt, Richmond, Eobeson, Rocking-
ham, Eowan, Eutherford, Sampson, Scot-
land, Surry, Wake, Warren, Washington,
Wayne, Watauga, Wilson, Washington, D.
C. Aside from the financial success the
bazaar has come to afford much interest
and pleasure to the alumnae at the hap-
piest season of the year, and by all work-
ing together, many of the old ties are re-
newed.

The tea room, which was operated last
summer in the Old Infirmary, for the
benefit of the building, enjoyed great pop-
ularity and the equipment plus a hundred
and four dollars and 69 cents was cleared.
This summer the tea room will again be
opened under new management, and great
things are hoped for it, since we now have
our equipment.

Two regular meetings of the State Asso-
ciation have been held since last com-
mencement, one during summer session at
the College and on Founder's Day at the
College. The summer meeting was well
attended and was of a social turn. Effort

A DREAM COME TRUE

Did you ever have a dream which re-
peated itself so often that you almost
anticipated the coming event when you
were experiencing this oft-recurring dream?
Very many have acknowledged this still un-
expected phenomena that belongs to our
other self, that submerged personality the
psychologists call the sub-conscious self.
But it is given to few to actually have their
oft-repeated dream come true and they them-
selves to participate in and experience events
so oft felt and done in dreamland. This
great experience was my privilege on a re-
cent visit to Wilson County schools in North
Carolina. After years of dreaming of what
rural educational conditions should be, here
they were in reality. This story of the Wil-
son County consolidation of its rural schools
is a thrilling one.

In 1917 there were in this county fifty-
one rural scliools, only six of which could
boast of as many as three teachers, and the
largest number of which were one-teacher
schools. Of course, these small unit schools
were housed in the usual box-car, cross-
lighted, poorly heated, unventilated, wretched
wooden buildings such schools occupy, no
better and usually, perhaps, no worse than
the largest number of North Carolina rural
children are now attending.

Today these fifty-one schools have been
consolidated into sixteen schools. In place
of tlie miserable, inadequate, wooden struc-
tures they are housed in modern brick struc-
tures.

Out in the open country seven miles from
the nearest town one finds Gardner 's School,
a modern brick building, constructed ac-
cording to the Ijcst approved plans of school
architecture. There is steam heat, running
water, drinking fountains, indoor fUish
toilets and sewerage, and electric lights.
(_!an yn\i begin to estimate what the effect
of Rucli surroundings will wield upon the
lives of tliese country boys and girls? Can
you fathom what will be the effect tipon.
their ideals and standards of conduct?
Gathered together in this school were four
hundred and fifty of the finest boys and
girls to be seen anywliere in this democracy
of ours. Yes, this number of children lived
out in this country school district and were

assembled eacli morning and transported to
school by means of automobile trucks.
Every day there are fifteen precious loads
of potential man and womanhood brought
to school and returned to their homes each
afternoon. Where did they all come from ?
Well, that's a problem still puzzling the
county superintendent and committeemen,
for when the seven schools were consolidated
to form this school, tlie five one-teacher
schools and two two-teacher schools could
not possibly count over two hundred and
fifty children, girls and boys, who had
stopped school because ' ' they were fourteen
and didn 't liave to go " ; others who were
mditt'erent and had only come intermittently
now attended regularly. It's human nature
to want to be a part of a big successful
thiitg, so everybody, parents and children,
want to belong to this big successful school.
Here always on time, rain or shine, these
four hundred or more children, well pro-
tected from the rain and out of the mud,
assembled with dry feet and warm and com-
fortable. They worked together, studied and
played together, for each school has ample
playground and organized and supervised
play.

So imijortant does the county superin-
tendent consider play as a part of the
child's education, that there is a county
supervisor of physical education.

So it is that in such consolidated schools
the future citizens of Wilson County are
learning to work and live together. Co-
operation is becoming a habit and state of
mind as well as an ideal. By contact with
others these folks are learning how to live
with others and at the same time given an
opportunity to reach their highest state of
self-realization.

But the full story of Gardner 's School is
not yet told. Connected with this brick
building by cement walks are the teaehers'
cottage aud the garage. The garage is
large enough to hold school trucks. A
mechanician is employed, whose entire time
is given to caring for these fifteen auto-
trucks.

The teachers ' cottage is a modern two-
story building equipped with every possible
convenience and comfort. This building has
been fully furnished, living room, bed rooms,
dining room and kitchen. Even the bed
furnishings, table linen, dishes, cutlery and
cooking utensils were included in this com-
plete and ' ' niodel home ' '. This home the
County of Wilson gives to its teachers plus
the salary fixed by the state schedule. Will
you please remember that Gardner's is only
one of sixteen such schools that Wilson
County, N. C, will possess when its entire
building program is completed.

This also means that every boy and girl
in the county will be within reach of a high
school education. Now do you wonder that
I say my dream of rural education has
come true? Yes, and the reality is here, in
our very midst, within the borders of our
Old North State.

good fortune to be present at these meetings
and benefit by the discussion of ' ' Many
Men of Many Minds". But of all the
experiences of that week there is one I wish
especally to share with my fellow alumnae.
This was my keen joy and delight in meeting
again with our friend and beloved teacher.
Miss Dixie Lee Bryant.

A great number of alumnae will recall Miss
Bryant with tlie keenest feelings of respect,
admiration and delight. Those of us who
were at the College in the very first days
of its opening realize what an influence her
personality was in those years when we wnere
consciously making history. A vigorous,
wide-awake, well trained young woman with
several years experience in girls ' schools,
she was active, interested and most helpful
in the organization of the CoUege. Her
particular province was the Science Depart-
ment and that first year she had all the Science
taught at the college except Physiology.
She taught Biology, Physics, Chemistry and
Geology.

It is not for lier class room work only
that the students in those days remember
and feel grateful to Miss Bryant. The in-
tense interest she took in each of us in-
dividually and the friendly, helpful manner
in which she gave us counsel will long be
remembered with feelings of real gratitude.
Miss Bryant taught at the College from
1892 to 1901. Then she went abroad and
spent three years specializing at the
Bavarian University at Erlangen. Germany.
lliere in 1904 she received the degree,
Doctor of Philosophy (Magna cum laude),
and was the first woman to receive this
honor from that university. The College
was fortunate in having Dr. Bryant return
and spend one year in teaching here again.
In 1905 she left and went to Chicago.
While she has been connected with the
high school department of the Chicago
city system since that time, her interest and
'ove^or our College has not waned. So it
*ill he of interest to many women in tliis
and other states to hear again of ' ' our ' '
Miss Dixie Lee Bryant.

er, slie seems especially fitted for the work
which she knows thoroughly.

Miss Travis' figures for a single week
show the placement of 176 men and 4ei wo-
men, making a total of 21 i' men and v.-omen
placed by the employment service througli
the different agencies in the state, and 347
registrations. This is a typical week's rec-
ord. Classification cards show skilled and
unskilled labor and business and professional
workers. Strange to tay, there is little de-
mand for domestic help and few seeking
domestic hire. In this day of economic
depression, with hundreds and thousands
seeking work, there is a fine field for service
by the eniployment agencies over the state,
meeting the double need of securing the
right man for the right .iob and tne right
joi> for the right man. The service io abso-
lutely free to the public. The last legis-
lature made a $10,000 appropriation and
the United State government also contrib-
utes tc the service, of which Commissioner
M. L. Shipman is state director. Miss
Annie Travis, the assistant director, is a
woman of experience and fine busin.ss
acumen. She sees many opportunities for
an exparsion of service. Tlie proposed
business exchange is one of the methods she
will use for tie convenience of business
offices and employees.

"It seems to me that a long felt need in
Raleigh has been what Ave might call, for a
better name, a business exchange," said
Miss Travis a day or two ago. ' ' The
United States employment service has under
\vp,y the pstablishnient of sucli a departm.ont
for tlie convenience of business men and of
young women who do not desire steady
work, but who would be glad to take tempo-
rary positions. So many times the heads of
departments or offices need one or more
stenograi)hers with experience, who will
help out with emergency work, but do not
know how to get in touch with such help on
short notice. For the convenience of ti ese
men, we wish to have a list of experienced
stenographers, or other clerical help, upon
whom we can call at a moment's notice.

''There are many competent young girls
and young married women, wiio have been
business women, who A^'ould be glad to do off
.iobs. It is our purpose to have these reg-
ister with the employment service. It will
be our business to let all tlie business men
in town know that wc have such an exchange
in operation. Trained nurses have places
where they register for duty. Any one
desiring a nurse can find out from these
places of registration ,iust what nurses are
available. By registering nitli the employ-
ment service, these stenographers or clerks,
declare themselves available for work, and
the business men will soon get the habit of
calling on us for assistance when in need of
additional help. There is a small army of
these workers w'.o are out of touch with the
business world, and there are so many calls
for .I'ust such helpers. It seems to me tliat
it would be very useful work to bring these
two cla.sscs together."

COMMENCEMENT

(Continued from page three)
was made to acquaint all present with the
plans of the work for the coming year,
and to interest every one in the Alumnae
Home. The Founder's Day meeting was

devoted chiefly to a discussion of the be-
ginning of the Alumnae Building, and of
the raising of funds for it.

During the year fourteen appointments
have been kept, and twenty committee
meetings attended. No record has been
kept of local visits and 'phone calls, but
it has been a great pleasure to not only
work with the alumnae, but see them in
their homes, when time afforded.

Four numbers of the Alumnae News have
been edited — in .June, October, .lanuary,
and April. Especial effort has been made
this year to have in every issue of the
News one leading article of professional
value, and also to have news items from
the different classes.

A 1921-22 year book containing last
year's report and this year's program, was
edited during the summer and mailed to
all county organizations and some indi-
viduals.

Three reports of the work of the Asso-
ciation were prepared for publication —
one for the Founder 's Day meeting for the
period covering the work from .June to
October, one for the Southern Women's
Educational Alliance, and one for the Col-
lege Annual.

An aggregate of eighteen thousand let-
ters have been sent to the alumnae from
the office, carrying information concern-
ing the College, requests for payments of
fees and pledges, announcing meetings,
carrying information and -suggestions to
county organizations, and the annual let-
ter inviting all to return to commence-
ment. These letters have, of necessity,
been form letters, but there has also been
a great deal of personal correspondence
carried on relative to the alumnae work.
This increased correspondence has been
possible since this year we have had, when
needed, stenographic help, through the co-
operation of the College.

In conclusion, then, the outstanding
work of the Alumnae Association for this
year might be said to include:

1. The establishing of the Class Secre-
taries Bureau.

2. The establishing of the Class Con-
nection Fund.

3. The establishing of the Alumnae
Council.

4. The beginning of the erection of the
Alumnae Holne.

The alumnae work, since the last or-
ganization, is now nearly three years old,
and there are still two important things
which have not been attained, and which
must be, if we hope to do any permanent
or constructive work. We must become
self-supporting, and we must complete the
Alumnae Building in order that we may
have headquarters from which to work.

It is hardly necessary to state at the
conclusion of this report, that the loyalty
and interest of the alumnae remains un-
changing, and that splendid co-operation
and effort has been extended on all sides;
and that the College has stood behind us,
as always, in everything which we have
tried to do.

We extend to the College and to the
alumnae our most hearty thanks for the
valuable support which has been given
the alumnae office this year.

Ethel C. Bollinger,
Secretarv-Treasurer.

The alumnae recital, which was an in-
novation this commencement, and which
proved to be one of the most pleasurable
events of Alumnae Day, was at five
o'clock Saturday afternoon in Students'
Building. The jjrogram was as follows:

Nocturne in B flat (Paderewski) ; Pre-
lude in A minor (Debussy) — Claire Hen-
ley, '16.

Open Thou. My Love, Thy Blue Eye.s
(Massenet); The "Unforseen (Cyril Scott);
An Open Secret (Woodman) — Florine
Rawlins, '18.

Melodie Slave (Chaloff) ; Polonaise, C
sharp minor (Chopin) — Sara All, '19.

Cantique d 'Amour (Liszt) — Martha
Biggers, '17.

My Soul (Carrie Jacobs-Bond); Banjo
Song (Sydney Homer) ; The Star (Rogers)
— Minnie Long Ward, '17.

Waltz in E (Moszkowski) — Louise
Loetsch, '21.

The annual alumnae dinner was at six
o'clock in the West Dining Hall. Park
Night, which was to have been held im-
mediately afterwards, was postponed until
Monday night on account of the rain.

The Vice-President, Nettie Dixon Smith,
presided at the alumnae dinner. Presi-
dent Foust made the chief address of the
evening. After extending a welcome to
those present Dr. Foust spoke of the im-
portance of the service of the alumnae
after they leave the institution. "You
have done your part nobly in the upbuild-
ing of North Carolina," he declared. He
thought that everyone must see to it that
the next generation is more efficient and
powerful. "We have realized," he con-
tinued, "as never before the importance
of intelligence on the part of all our peo-
ple."

In speaking of the determination of the
state to educate all its sons and daughters.
Dr. Foust saw a great responsibility rest-
ing on the higher institution. He stated
that the college would be able to care for
400 additional students next year, but
even with that increase many girls would
have to be disappointed in securing en-
trance. North Carolina is .just entering
upon this great work of education.
Within five years, he said, a standard high
school will be within reach of every boy
and girl in North Carolina. This brings
an awful responsibility upon the higher
institutions and their faculty and alumnae.
"You and I and the other thoughtful
people of North Carolina will be com-
pelled to solve this problem if it is solved
at all. We must meet the emergency
which is to come in a few years. Some
way must be found, for democracy cannot
meet its responsibility unless it is met in
an intelligent manner, ' ' he said. In con-
clusion, the president declared that it is
"my ambition and I know it is your am-
bition to ]day a large, heroic part in this
great work. ' '

Speakers for the various Green and
White classes were: 1894, Mrs. Wm.
Creasy; 1898, Mrs. E. Murphy Williams;
1902, Mrs. E. D. Douglas; 1906, Miss Mar-
tha Winfield; 1910, Mrs. Julius Cone; 1914,
Ruth Gunter; 1918, Mrs. Wm. B. Richard-
son, Jr.; 1922, Martha Bradley.

The commencement exercises were con-
tinued Sunday with the baccalaureate ser-
mon at eleven o 'clock in the College audi-

ALUMNAE NEWS

torium, by Dr. J. B. Massey, of Hampden-
Sidney College, Virginia. Dr. Charles ¥.
Myers, of the First Presbyterian Church,
at Greensboro, preached at the annual
evening Y. W. C. A. service.

Monday, June 5th, was taken up with
meetings of the three societies, and the
reunion of the Green and White classes
in the Y. W. C. A. hut. The classes repre-
sented were 1894, 1898, 1902, 1906, 1910,
1914, 1918, and 1922. Class meetings, the
reunion luncheon and the singing of class
and College songs, was enjoyed by all
present.

The Senior Class Day exercises were
held at five o'clock in the College audi-
torium and were presided over- by Martha
Bradley, the cl^iss president.

Park Night was celebrated at eight
0 'clock in the new open-air theatre in
Peabody Park. Park Night has grown to
be one of the most beautiful features of
commencement, the program being in the
nature of a masque and symbolizing the
spirit of the College — service.

Tuesday morning at ten o 'clock were
the annual commencement exercises.
There were ninety-five graduates, one. May
Meador, receiving her master of arts de-
gree.

Governor Morrison Speaks

The annual address was delivered by
Governor Cameron Morrison. He made a
powerful plea that the young women going-
out from this institution should work to
make and preserve North Carolina an agri-
cultural state. Extracts from the Govern-
or's address as i>rinted in the Daily News
follow:

' ' We want the women of North Caro-
lina to help us put a small orchard on
every farm home in the state, including
one around every tenant or cropper home.
It can be done for $10 of .'(il.'j a home.
It is a shame to raise children, even negro
ones, in any home on a farm without plenty
of good fruit around it. We ought to add
a few berry bushes and a grape vine, and
where they will grow a seuppernong vine. ' '

Study in horticulture must be stimulated,
because it is a noble science and the great
mass of the people must become interested
in it, said the speaker.

' ' I wish I had time to dwell upon the
picture, and point to the fine cultural ef-
fect the orchard, grape vine and nut trees
would produce. ' '

Jfrlp in The Great Cause
"My dear young ladies, help cause this
to be done. It will contribute to the healtli
and happiness of unborn millions; and then
it is so easy to do if we could only want to. ' '
The garden was the next phase of the
governor's address. Ho said with consider-
able emphasis that it ought to be a felony
not to have a garden in connection with a
home in town or country in this state. The
women are the natural gardeners and they
must take the lead in this most vital matter,
said he.

"The garden will always pay,", declared
his oxcelleucy. "Neither tho tariff, the
trusts nor any other age-old goblin of dis-
aster can prevent it. We are very poor
gardeners. We ought to bo masters of tlio
subject and fill tho state with tho finest
vegetable gardens in the world and tliou

learn to eat vegetables. We cannot grow
healthy children or keep healthy ourselves
without vegetables. We must dignify the
garden, it is no longer to be tolerated as a
feminine folly. ' '

Next came poultry and eggs and here
the governor said the women must take the
lead. The people ought to be ashamed of
tliemseives, he said, not. to give the children
of North Carolina more chicken than they
do; the little fellows expect chicken on Sun-
day and when the preacher comes or other
company; they ought to have chicken every
other day, and eggs every morning. All
joined in a good hearty applause, including
the preachers present.

Four-Legged Hogs Needed

The governor stepped along at a fast clip,
taking up the question of hogs next. Hogs
with four legs are the best defense against
the two-legged variety who have been eating
up the tobacco and cotton growers, said he.
lie told the women they are not considered
experts in hog raising, but they should see
to it that their meufolks engage in the
business to a greater extent.

Milch cows! People cannot grow healthy
children without plenty of milk and butter.
These two commodities added on to fruit,
mits, grapes, vegetables, poultry and eggs,
f/iieese, bees and honey will make North Caro-
liiui independent and happy. With these
tilings the people could then raise cotton and
tobacco in large quantities without disaster.

He told the women to fUl the state with
flowers, vines, shrubbery and beauty. This
is the work of the women, he said.

' ' The state, ' ' said Governor Morrison in
conclusion, ' ' has never been moved by great-
er purpose than now". We are glad to be
reinforced by the long list of trained 'men
and women coming this year from the col-
leges. You have the deep interest of the
whole state.

The State Our All
' ' The state is our all, except the pre-
cious chain that binds us to the union of
states. It is not the 52,000 square miles of
beautiful area comprised that makes the
state. It is not the two and one-half million
souls living in it. It is not the beloved
dead and the graves of our loved ones; it
is not the proud history and the glorious
traditions. Jt is all these and in addition
all the hopes and aspirations of future
greatness, power and goodness which may
surround our children and keep them safe
from harm, when we arc gone."

Tlu> diplonuis wore awarded to the follow-
ing graduates by the Governor:

Miss May Meador, of High Point, w.is
presented a master of arts degree, the first
student to receive a graduate degree at
the college.
