Short talks about their sum mer studies were made by several of the teachers who had attended summer schools at various uni versities. An important conference of the heads and busi ness managers of several of the schools affliated with the American Church Institute for Negroes was held at St. Augustine’s on September 30th under the leadership of the Ilev.

Newbold, State SupOTvisor of Negro Schools of North Carolina, and his assistant, Mr. G. II. Ferguson. There were interesting and fruitful discussions oil several matters connected with the business ad ministration of the various institutions, including the purchasing of supplies, insurance and invest ments. Several matters of educational policy were also discussed, including the question of concen trating on certain trades and courses in different institutions. Steps were also taken to gather infor mation for the basis of future conferences and decisions. On November 10th, occurred the death of ^Irs. Marilla Smith Harris, a near neighbor of St. Augustine’s, who attended the Institution in its first days, when Dr. J. Brinton Smith was the l)rinc,ipal. During her last illness she had been visited l>y many friends from St. Augustine’s, and the Rev. Mr. Goold had celebrated the Holy Com munion in her home, assisted by members of the Bishoj) Tuttle Sehool. On the morning of her death she asked to be raised in her bed so that she could see St. Augustine’s that had meant so much to her during her long life. The funeral service was conducted in the College Chai)el by the Rev. Mr. (Joold and the Rev. Dr. Hunter assisted by the Chapel Choir. IVIrs. Harris had for many years, until she grew too feeble to come, been a faithful communicant of St. Augustine’s Chapel, and a member of the Mothers’ Meeting. On the evening of November 25th Mr. T. Arnold Hill, Director of the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League of New York City, addressed a large audience of both races gathered in Taylor Hall, on the labor and economic problems of the Negro. Mr. Hill came to Raleigh under the auspices of the Bishop Tuttle School and the Students’ Inter-racial Group of Raleigh and vicinity. The Rev. Richard Bowling, of Norfolk, Va., one of the leading Negro preachers of the Baptist Church, recently spoke in Taylor Hall under the auspices of the College Alumnae Club of Raleigh, of which Mrs. E. B. Holmes, a St. Augustine’s teacher, is president. His subject was “Our Great est Handicaps.” He emphasized strongly the need of inter-racial friendly contact and cooperation. President Goold was present at the Conference of Church Workers among the colored workers of the Third Province, held in St. Barnabas Church, Germantown, Philadelphia, early in Oc tober. There was a large attendance of Negro clergy and parish representations. In June Mr. Goold attended a similar Conference held in St. Philip’s Church, Syracuse, New York, for dele gates from the First and Second Provinces. He has recently taken part in a Conference of the Presidents of Negro Colleges held at Fisk Uni versity, Nashville, Tenn., which culminated in the dedication of the beautiful new Wbrary building which has been erected there through gifts of the General Education Board, the Carnegie Fund and the Rosenwald Fimd. Dean Herbert Hawkes of Columbia L^niversity delivered the principal ad dress at the Detlicatory Exercises. A hearty Thanksgiving Service was held in the Chapel on the morning of that day. The chancel had been most appropriately decorated with corn, cotton and other fruits of the earth from our farm. Kiplings “Recessional” was sung as an anthem while the offering was being taken for the aid of the many needy people in Raleigh. On the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day the St. Augustine’s football team played its annual game with Shaw University before a large crowd of spectators. The game was closely contested, Shaw finally winning by a score of 13 to 7. Another interesting game this year was the one with St. Paul’s School, of Lawrenceville, Va., which resulted in a victory for St. Augustine’s by a score of l-t to 13.
