Salem Represented at Collegiate Press Conference
NORTH CAROLINA
HISTORY CLASS
Studies Museum Elxhibits
Officers of N. C. Collegiate Press Association
The seventeen members of the
North Carolina History Class learned
their lessons last Saturday from a
building instead of a book when
they were shown through the \Va
ehovia Museum by E.ev. Douglas
Rights, president of the North Caro
lina Historical Saciety, and of the
local Society.
The field trip through the museum
was part of the teaching program
of Edward Holder, instructor in his
tory here. He has planned other
class activities of the same sort to
take place throughout the winter.
Mr. Rights’ explanation of the
museum was exceedingly beneficial
and entertaining to the class, who
remained in the building for an hour.
Among the most interesting relics
of Salem and vicinity which were
pointed out by Mr. Rights in his
explanation of the Museum was the
spinet in the northwest room up?
stairs, which was played by a young
lady to entertain President Wash
ington in 1791; the self-portrait of
Thomas Sully and his personal let
ter to his pupil, Daniel Welfare;
Revolutionary Cannon, which was
dredged from the Cape Fear River;
the silhouette machine which was
used in Salem School to cut profiles
of its pupils and teachers, some of
which pictures hang above the ma
chine, and the many feminine knick-
knacks which bring back the days
of Salem Female Academy.
The girls commented on the large
counting frame left over from the
little boys’ school which was held in
the present museum building, the
chandeliers which pull down from
the coiling and were used in the
Home Church when lighting candles
and snuffing them out by hand were
the only means of illuminating the
auditorium; and the collection of
kinds which are assembled on the
third floor of the building.
According to Mr. Holder, arrange-
mpnts are being made for hia North
Carolina history students to visit
Guilford battleground sometime in
the near future.

sions ill Luebo, Belgian Congo,

He discussed advances in African
civilization.
The speaker began his talk with a
discussion of the Belgian Congo as
it wns C9 years ago, just after Stan
ley had finished his trek acros.s the
continent. Presbyterian missionaries
sent to Luebo in 1891 must have
found an extremely beautiful coun
try, with little forests and plains
dotted with little hills which re
semble inverted cups and saucers.
They found a friendly and respon
sive but a desperately ignorant and
suffering people. It is hard to im-
