THE BISHOP TUTTLE
TRAINING SCHOOL
Each full wo seem to move among three
groups—always there is the consciousness of the
graduates at work and especially of the last group
in the new positions whom w’e follow with a hope
ful anxiety until they settle firmly down. Then
there are the seniors of the year on whose spirit
and co-operation the whole school depends, and
who reveal so unconsciously and completely what
the school is meaning to them, and the incoming
juniors who turn our eyes ahead into the future
and of whom each year, wc expect more and more.
This year the seniors are back with fresh cour
age and the faculty have been obliged to restrain
some of their activities for the willing spirit and
the numberless opportunities pile up more than
they can safely carry, and after all they do need
some time for study! The junior class of six rep
resents as many colleges—I'isk, Howard, Alorgan,
Wilberforce, iSTorth Carolina College for Negroes,
and Erick. Of the fourteen students in l)oth
classes, nine are girls with their college degrees.
We have had the great pleasure of a visit from
^liss Beardsley from the ^Missions House and she
gave the girls a thorough understanding of the
Woman’s Auxiliary such as students in its own
school should have. Miss ilargaret ^rcCulloch
came over from Chapel Hill for several days, and
Miss .\[angot of the Student Volunteers has prom
ised to spend a Sunday witli us in the spring.
Some necessary renovation has been done since
school opened and the living room and dining
room look very fresh and livable. We wish all
our good friends would come to see.
The graduates of this last year arc in interest
ing positions. ^liss Ada Speight has work under
Bishop Koeso in Hawkinsville, (Jeorgia, of the
special sort that the Tuttle School was established
to bring about, in a southern town where there is
no resident clergyman, and where she gathers can
didates for baptism, organizes clubs, visits con
stantly and use.s ev>ry bit of training she has had.
Her appointment is under the United 'Phank Offer
ing as is also that of !Miss (Jueenie (V)oper, who
is the second of our girls to go to Archdeacon Bas-
kervill. ^liss Cooper is woi’king in the Church
School and community center of Calvary parish
in Charleston. Miss Ludie Willis is in the parish
work of the Phillips Brooks iEemorial Chapel in
Philadelphia, and Miss Bruce Simpson will carry
the training both of St. Agnes Hospital and of
the Tuttle School to the Good Samaritan Hospital
in Charlotte, X. C., where she will show the value
of a social worker in connection 'with a hospital
and perhaps lead to a wider development of this
form of social work. Mrs. Mary Jane Adams
Halliburton had her summer work at the Migrant
Camp at Ilurlock, ^Maryland, iliss Eosa Kittrell
had further training last summer for the duties of
resident director in our own Community Center
and she has develo2>ed the work with a vigor and
enthusiasm that tax the visible resources of sup
port to their limit. She has organized a Board of
which Miss Sarah Cheshire has been elected chair
man, a measure that has already broadened the
scope of the house. The Xursery School of seven
teen small children fills the morning hours at the
Center and no sooner are they disposed of at three
o’clock than the other clubs come surging in and
every nook and corner of the little house is in
use. Two cooking classes, one for boys, have be
gun with enthusiasm, and a glee club is another
new interest. The addition to the house in the
summer has much increased its usefulness. Kind
friends from town are leading several clubs and
older boys and men are being reached.
The response of the neighborhood and the use
made of the house are overwhelming tributes to
its timely start, and for the Tuttle School students
it is an important laboratory. If ever the school
was justifiel it is in this year when the need for
workers trainetl along these lines is more desperate
than ever before. B.R.
All the students and members of the Staff at
St. Augustine’s are each year provided with a set
of duplex envelopes which they are asked to use
in making regular Sunday offerings for [Missions
and for local church work. The ilissionary quota
of the Chapel, .$900, has been entirely met for
several years past. We quote below from a letter
received this fall from a former student living in
a distant city who was unable on account of finan
cial reasons to return to St. Augustine’s this fall.
“I have always looked on the keeping up of one’s
church envelopes as an obligation that one should
be willing to assume. For this reason I am en
closing some envelopes that I did not use last
semester. I had contemplated putting them in on
my return to St. Augustine’s this year. Since I
am not returning, I am sending the envelopes and
mv small contribution.”
