2 ST. AUGUSTINE’S RECORD ^ugu£{tme’£( iRecorb Published bi-monthly during the College year at Raleigh, N. C., in the interest of St. Augustine’s College, Uev. E. II. Goold, President. SUBSCEIPTION, 25 CENTS. Entered at the postofflce in Raleigh as second-class matter, under the Act of March 3, 1879. Acceptance for mailing at a special rate of postage provided for in section 1103, Act of October 3, 1917, authorized April 11, 1921. BISHOP TUTTLE TRAINING SCHOOL Tim Tuttle Scliool was fortunate roccutlv in liaving a visit from Mrs. Alice Butler, President of the National Negro Pareut-Teacliers’ Congress. Tiie studeiits gave her a sunnnary of the work of the scliool that nuiy interest others who care to know what is being accomplished in this “Train ing School for Religious Education and Social Work.” Miss Rebecca Curley, of Savannah, said in part: “We have a thorough course in Religious Edu cation. During the junior year it consists of the Riblo, Old and Now Testaments, Educatioiial Psychology and Methods. In the senior year we have the Bible with related courses in History of Christianity, the Prayer Book, Missions, Church Scliool Administration, Teacher-training and field work. Our field work this year has in cluded teaching in the Sunday School of St. Ambrose Church, assisting iii the earo of the altar of St. Augustine’s Chapel, and conducting our own morning chapel services. This course has meant much to graduates of the school, and has been most helpful to those juniors who have done institutional work during their summer vacation, liast summer one of the students was superinten dent of the Sunday School in the institution in wliich she was emjiloyed, while another was direc tor and teacher of a Daily Vacation Bible School. These practical applications show plainly wliy the course is offered in a school whose curriculum is arranged for the training of well-rounded social workers.” Miss Inez Middleton, of Wilmington, N. C.: “We have a very sjilendid course in Home Man agement, the ])iirpose of which is to give the girls some ]>ractical knowledge of managing the home HO as wisely to use money, energy and time. We have a system which provides for the interchange of work so a.s to give each girl experience in every phase. This responsibility develops a home-like iitmos])her(‘ about the school. Each month two f^irls j)lan and jirepare the meals, being allowed thirty-five cents a day for each person. Some of the things we work for are appreciation of the home, the study of women and child life, interior decoration, diet in health and disease, household accounting with practice in budget making for actual families (clients), and demonstrations to various audiences in lectures, etc. I consider this course very valuable because as social workers w'o are working with families and by knowing ways of better home making we can more readily be able to remedy their maladjustments.” Miss Beatrice Clark, of Greensboro, X. C. : “The Social Work Department cooperates with the following agencies: dissociated Charities of Ralcdgh, County Welfare Organization, Child Welfare Organization of the State; Travellers’ Aid, St. Agnes’ Hospital, St. Ambrose Church, Washington High School, Lucille Hunter School, the Roman Catholic School for Negro Children. “Forty cases have been im-ostigated for the As sociated Charities from the County Welfare office, 5 cases of family welfare and 5 cases from the Juvenile Court have been turned over to the Field Department of the School. Owing to the fact that the Director of the Traveller’s Aid Society is a graduate of the Tuttle School, a very hearty co operation has been formed between case workers of the school and that department. Forty cases have been investigated for St. Agnes Hospital. Through the eiforts of the worker, a ton of coal was donated to the hospital to cover the expenses of one charity patient. Special attention is paid to the health of all clients. In cases of illness dis covered among the clients contact with the clinic at St. Agnes is at once established and proper care given. “Three members of the senior class are assisting in building uj) the Sunday School at St. Ambrose Church. It is planned to follow up this project with a house-to-house canvass in search of chil dren with no church connection. “It is our plan to cooperate with all the schools in securing better school attendance. We consider this extremely important in the light of the report ‘that only two-thirds of all Nt^ro children enrolled in the schools of North Carolina attend regu larly’.” The seventwn students now in school come from New York, Now Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Gwrgia, Florida and Kentucky. The fifteen graduates arc all in posi tions—in the Prison Association of New York City, the Church ilission of Help in Newark, New tJersey; two under Mrs. Kate Burr Jolinson in New Jersey; one in the House of the Holy Child near Philadelphia, in the Associated Chari ties ill Washington, St. Louis, and Charlotte, N. C., in Family Welfare in Louisville, Kentucky, in a church center in Arkansas, Juvenile Protec- (CoiitinucHl on page 3)
