“Wake County Welfare Work”
was the topic of discussion at

in the Hut. The guest speaker
was Mrs. Josephine Kirk, super
intendent of Public Welfare for
Wake County. Mrs. Kirk, who
was introduced by Ruth Vande
Keift, reviewed the various

county telling of some of the
needs in the different fields. Also
Mrs. Kirk discussed some of the
possibilities for welfare work in
the future and told of the need
for more workers. In this con
nection, she mentioned the
qualifications of a worker and

people. At the close of her talk
Mrs. Kirk led the group in an

Baptists Support
Expansion Idea
The Meredith Expansion Pro
gram is meeting with reasonable
success in North Carolina be
cause Baptists of this state are
sensing the need of money to
operate influential Christian in
stitutions, not minimizing the
significance of educational stand
ards and the vital spiritual life
in the least. Since the Wake
Forest-Meredith merger discus
sion, leading Baptist educators
have been aroused to the en
largement and the strengthen
ing of the Council on Education.
Consequently, this group, led by
Claude F. Gaddy of Raleigh, has
made and is making definite
plans which will be announced
in the near future. With sixty
leaders studying and planing for
this important task of Christian;
education, to such a task Mere
dith is dedicated, results are to
be expected.
Meredith was aware of the |
meeting of the North Carolina
Baptist State Convention in Ra
leigh recently, in more ways
than one. This year the new
plan of rotation of members of
the Board of Trustees for Mere
dith took effect and six new
members were elected to serve
in this capacity, their term ex
piring in 1949. New “members
of Meredith’s Board of Trustees
are Edwin W. Yates, Raleigh;
Mrs. Walter Clark, Asheville;
Carroll Abbott, Elizabeth City;
Claude F. Gaddy, Raleigh; W. R.
Chambers, Marion; and (Jarl G.
McGraw, Charlotte. Heretofore,
the term of office lasted through
life. The new plan also retired
six trustees.
Other trustees of the college
include J. E. Broyhill, Lenoir;
Margaret S. Everett, Greenville;
Eph Whisenhunt, Clayton; J. R.
Hunter, Raleigh; Mabel Claire'
Hoggard Maddrey, Ahoskie;
and Beth Carroll Taylor, Char
lotte, whose terms expire in
1946, These members are elected
to serve until 1947: Maude
Davis Bunn, Raleigh; Harry B.
Caldwell, Greensboro; Vet
Molete Dorsett, Siler City;
James M. Hayes, Winston-
Salem; Lister A. Martin, Lex
ington; Alfred J. Smith, Golds
boro; and Walter H. Weather-
spoon, Raleigh. The terms of
Z. M. Caveness, Raleigh; Com
modore T. Council, Durham; Foy
Johnson Farmer, Raleigh; Anna
Kitchin Josey, Scotland Neck;
James Y. Joyner, La Grange, and
LeRoy Martin, Raleigh, expire
in 1948.
Sports Review
By RUTH MARTIN
Hockey season has come to
a close! Jane Middleton, man
ager of hockey, told me—and
by the way, she probably tcld
me so it would be sure to be
seen in The Twig—that the
tournament will be played some
time in the near future. Of
course, some “make-up practice
had to be scheduled for this week
so that some of you who just
found it impossible to attend
enough of the regular practices
Meredith Entertains
Convention Delegates
At Open House, Tea
Members of the faculty and
student body were at home on
the afternoons of November 13
and 14 from 5:00 to 6:00 to re
ceive friends and delegates of the
Baptist State Convention. Plans
were made for the occasion by
the social committee composed
of Miss Anna Mae Baker, Miss
Ellen Brewer, Mrs. Mary McCay
Egerton, and Mrs. Vera Marsh.
The guests were received by
Miss Baker and members of the
student body who showed the
visitors points of interest on the
campus, and the rooms on the
first floor of all the dormitories ‘
were open to receive guests. Dr. FoerStCr LeCturCS tO
Both the parlors were deco
rated, and Russian tea was
served by Mrs. Leroy Allen and
Miss Hazel Baity one day and
Miss Helen Price, Miss Louise
Lanhan and Miss Jennie Hanyen
the next day. The refreshments,
made and served by Miss Brewer
and the Home Economics De
partment, consisted of cookies
in the shape of oak leaves sur
rounding a bowl of raisins and
nut acorns, chocolate cakes, and
cookies in the shape of fruit.
could be eligible for the final
tournament. These make-ups
have been going on all this week
and last week, so about next
week we’ll have the class tourna
ments and see just which class
stands where. So watch the bul-
etin board to see the date and
add a little class spirit to the
games by being there with your
mouth and voice to put in your
two cents.
The number of tennis players
has increased—well, you’ll have
to admit that two is an increase
over zero! I kept looking for
someone to appear on the courts
so I could have some encourag-
ng news; and really, it actually
happened! Two eager-beavers
have been out there playing for
several days—gee, they look
good, but it surely is hard for
them to keep all the courts in
shape right by themselves!
As for horseback riding—it’s
the same ole’ story. Those
horses are being ridden so much
that they wonder sometimes if
they’ll ever get to rest; but since
they’re such good natured beasts
of burden, they don’t mind.
What d’ye know? It’s time
for me to run now, but I’ll be
seein’ you in a couple of weeks.
The Y.W.A. study course,
originally planned for November
26-28, will not be held at this
date. Due to the fact that a mis
sionary was not available to
teach the course, the study will
be held some time in March,
Frances Pope, president of the
Y.W.A. announced recently.

Wake English Professors
On Tuesday evening, Novem
ber 20, at 8:00 p.m., the teachers
of college English in Wake
County, met in the Faculty Sit
ting Room to discuss and hear
new ideas concerning the teach
ing methods and materials of
college English. Dr. Norman
Foerester, formerly from the
University of Iowa, and at
present connected with the Uni
versity of North Carolina, pre
sented to the club a lecture on
“English In General Education.”
Dr. Foerester made in the be
ginning three conclusions to
wards which he directed his
points and thoughts. In brief,
the three conclusions were: (1)
the instruction and practice of
writing and reading cannot be
separated; (2) the best content
in the world’s great litreature;
and (3) the emphasis of writing
should be on human values.
Dr. Foerester advocates a
method of instruction in English
whereby the student takes a re
quired two years course in which
the study of reading and compo
sition are combined.
Over a period of years Dr.
Foerester has experimentd with
his combined study plan and
other new ideas at Iowa State.
Another project was a question
naire, “What is the best way to
teach writing”? which he sent
to some 18 college English de
partments.
Succeeding Dr. Julia Hamlet
Harris as president of the club is
Mr. Roger Marshall.
