ST. AUGUSTINE’S RECORD 3 BISHOP TUTTLE TRAININ^G SCHOOL (Continued from Page 2) tive Association in Washington, Traveller’s Aid ill Raleigli and the Negro worker in Wake County, K C. The rooms on the third floor that were finished this summer, filled at once, and with the most satisfactory work of our new teacher, Mrs. Louise Bromley, prospects are bright for the year’s work.—B. R. AN APPRECIATION OF THE NEW BENSON LIBRARY By One. Who Uses It. An atmosphere conducive to study, materials extensive in quantity and excellent in quality, a staff that knows its business and is solicitous of its client’s interests—these are the things that every teacher and student hopes to find in a library, and they are all present in the !New Ben son Library of St. Augustine’s College. One can not enter the building without being immediately impressed by its beauty, nor can one remain long in the spacious reading room without feeling the urge to investigate further. The periodical racks, the encyclopedias and the dictionaries, the low comfortable chairs and the good lighting begin to exercise their appeal. It must be an uncomfortable place for the idler or the devotee of the comic strips. But an examination of the card index is neces sary for the fullest appreciation of the happy state of affairs there. The examiner is soon convinced that this beautiful building houses an admirably Well selected collection of books, new and old, deal ing with every subject in which a college student sliould be interested. After glancing through the titles, the patron is already fairly certain as to the qiuilities of the staff, but should he ■sWsh to make assurance doubly sure, he has only to ask one of its members for information and advice. When finally it is necessary to leave the library the feeling of satisfaction acquired there is likely to bo tinged a little with regret that because of such things as classes, courses and duties conse quent to being at college in this age of specializa tion, there must be many good and interesting volumes which will remain closed to each patron, however diligent he may be.—C. H. RECORD NOTES !N'ational Education Week, N’ovember 10-16, was observed at St. Augustine’s in several ways. On November 11th, Armistice Day, the entire student body assembled in Taylor Hall and lis tened to a program which emphasized the value of Education and its connection with the ideal of World Peace. On the afternoon of ISTovember 12th, the student body assembled in the Cheshire Building and lis tened to the radio broadcast of the program on Negro Education given in Washington, I). C., under the auspices of the U. S. Office of Educa tion. Addresses were made by the Honorable R. L. Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior, President John W. Davis, of the West A^irginia State College, and Dr. Ambrose Caliver, Specialist in Negro Educa tion of the U. S. Office of Education. On Sunday morning the President, Mr. Goold, preached on the objectives of Education, using as his text the St. Augustine’s motto, “The truth shall make you free.” Recent College preachers at the Sunday morn ing services have been the Rev. Dr. A. B. Hunter, Honorary President, and the Rev. John W. Herri- tage, a graduate of St. Augustine’s, and now the Rector of St. Joseph’s Church, Fayetteville, N. C. The formal opening exercises of the College year were held on Thursday, September 25th, in the College Chapel. Brief addresses were made to a large congregation of faculty and students by Bishop Cheshire, the President of the Board of Trustees, Bishop Penick, Vice-President of the Board of Trustees, the Rev. Dr. A. B. Hunter, former head of St. Augustine’s, and now the Honorary President, and the Rev. George A. Fisher, the Rector of St. Ambrose Church, Raleigh. Other clergy of Raleigh were in the chancel. The full four year College course will be in operation for the College Department this year for the first time. About 160 have enrolled for College work, over 80 of whom are in the Fresh man Class. The rapid growth of the College work at St. Augustine’s, the only institution of the Episcopal Church offering this course to Negro youth, clearly demonstrates the wisdom and need of its establishment. The students enrolled in it come from all parts of the country—North, South, East and West, and include many children of our Negro clergy.
