gets in this vocation. Recently a
woman consul was appointed to
Canada, an appointment conferring
much honor to a woman because of
the tact required in dealing with a
country so necessary to our trade.
Dr. Woodhouse also mentioned the
possibility of woman entering fores
try service. Although only one wom
an has passed the forestry exam for
field service, it is interesting to note
that she is a North Carolina woman.
In the Department store field,
there is a good opening for college
graduates. It is requires two or
three years of hard, lowly-paid, pre
paratory work. This field offers
good salaries for its buyers, but it
demands of them a profit, on goods,
selection of good clerks decision of
prices, and patience, hard work, and
the taking as well as the receiving
of orders.
Interior decorating is being raised
to a higher standard and it also re
quires training, but offers good pay.
Industrial photography, deep sea
artists, traffic managing, and engi
neering are branches in which women
may exeell if they desire.
In conclusion Dr. Woodhouse did
not forget to remind Salem students
of the unfavorable criticism which
women in business vocations get.
Nor did she fail to remind them of
her faith in ability of women.

FOLK MUSIC IN ART IS
COMPOSER’S SUBJECT
(Continued from Page One.)
of Folk Songs to be really used ii
the home and school, and the revival
and encouragement of Folk condi
tions. 2. To bring out new composi
tions by unknown composers who
should be known and to encourage
compasition based on native folk lore,
which is obviously the only way to
get a distinct individuality in Ameri
can Music. Bach, Mozart, Strauss
and others based their masterpieces
on folk-lore. 3. To bring exceptional
talent to notice, and to direct
positions, to bring out the benefits of
training with an artist and to open
the eyes of the people to real
tistry.
Mr. Stringfield emphasized the
fact that this is not a one man job.
It is a job for everybody, inwhich
th^re is a great deal of fun. Taking
his word for it, interest in Folk
Music and music in the home brings
one in contact with greater minds.
American playing started in the
home. The string quartet is the
forerunner of chamber music. It is
a marvellous diversion, recreation, an
education, and it produces an atmo
sphere unequalled by anything else.
To quote statistics: The greatest
percentage of names in Who’s Who
are those of minister’s sons. Not a
single business man who has commit
ted suicide was interested in music.
The refined enviroment minus jazz
accounts for this.
Folk music is the basis of art
music. Art music is music composed
by an individual and expressing th!
emotions of one individual although
these emotions may be shared by
masses. Folk music is an outburst
of unexplained expression,
born out of the emotions of the peo
ple. Art music is a stimulus to folk
iic. Tlicir activitiec work in cycles.
Each helps the other.
John Powell, in speaking of folk
music, said “On down through the
iphony from Folk Music.” One
t look back to folk music for all
playing and creation. There
perfect cycle of progress from folk
music into American music, from that
to orchestra music, high school, ci
state and national orchestras.
Folk music is not dependant
other forms of music, and it should
t be snubbed. The field of folk
jsic can boost us tremendously.
Mr. Stringfield said that most of
j information is based on experi-
ce, observation, and association,
rather than on original or personal
ideas. Folk music was the greatest
stimulus to his individuality. He
told of a personal experience with a
stupid publis'her who thoug^it Jie
knew what the public wanted. He
also told of the thrill he got when
iposed music for “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin,” in a day.
Ir. Stringfield greatly compli-
ited Dean Vardell on his com
posing. Mr. Stringfield is a firm
believer in living composers for
which there is plenty of room on the
concert program. He thinks they
should be given some reason to write
He cited his friendship with
John Powell as beginning when they
played in a concert together one of
his compositions at Chapel Hill.
Mr. Stringfield ended his talk with
n illustration on the banjo —
'Cripple Creek,” on of his own com
positions—which he said puts his
a good humor every morning.
Anyway, it certainly had the effect
in his aduience who look forward to
lis next talk on November 19, on
‘American Folk Music.”
SLEEPY SAL SAYS:
A parasite is a thing you
jump out of airplanes with.
A king usually wears a vel
vet robe trimmed with vermin.
A conjunction is a place
where a railroads ends.
A quack doctor is a veterin
ary surgeon.
A man named Atlas was the
world’s first gangster. He held
up the whole world.
My roommate is so dumb she
thinks noodle soup is a kind of
shampoo.
Once upon a time a Junior,
thankful because Miss Law
rence allowed her to go to ride
with her date in her surprise
and joy said, “Miss Lawrence
if ever there was a fallen
angel, it’s you.” She can’t un
derstand why the Dean has it
in for her now.
