THE BISHOP TUTTLE SCHOOL Our advertising tliis year has taken tlie form of trij)s in the interest of tlie sclioolj and three of tliem liavo opened up different angles of approach to our various problems. In Washington our six graduates took me to their ofliccvs and agencies where they are in touch with tlie great movements in Federal social work. I talked with representatives of standards and policies, and felt more determined than ever to make this sc.hool worthy of its opportunities. Canon Stokes gave a helping hand, and at a talk in St. (ieorge’s Church I found interested people in the Uev. Mr. Birch and his congregation. Our girls also entertained me at a delightful luncheon with Dean Slowe, two of their supervisors, Lt. L. A. Oxley, the Rev. A. A. Birch, and the Rev. .T. E. Elliott. On a tri)) in Alabama and (Jeorgia anotlier side was prominent. St. Mark’s, Birmingham, pre sented an opening for a trained woman to work among the large nuniher of their city students, at 'ru.skegee they are in need of a campus worker; in Atlanta one* of our graduates could help the Rev. Henry Bowden increase the usefulness of his new ])arish lious(*. -Vs the first tri]) had bi ought out the necessity of standards in professional work, so this one showed the opportunities that atr(‘t(di on every side for workers in Church and school and community, and the possibility of so placing them was discussed with IJishop McDowell and Bisho]) Mikell. A little later, our social work teacher, Miss Steven.son, talked to the students of Virginia State College in I’otersburg, and to com bined congregations in Richmond, where she also had a most hel])fnl conference with Bisho]) I'ucker. 'Pherc^ are two things of wliich the school is in 1—positions for work in the Church, and a growing nundtt^r of stulents ready for tiaining to that (Mid. Mis.s Lindley has suggested that Aux iliary leaders can lielp, and I know the readers of the St. Auhustink’s Recokd can, too. I find it haril to believe that the Church will let sli]) such workers trained to do the very things so urgently ne(!(led on (svery side. There are sev(‘ral grad uates, now with the added benefit of experience, who would gladly take such positions, and two present appointments especially illustrate what that work can be—besides the work also being carried on by Miss Ludie "Willis at Phillips Brooks Memorial Chapel in Philadelphia; Miss Inez Mid dleton at Christ Church, Forrest City, Arkansas, and Miss Esther Brown as a Field Worker of the Auxiliary. Roberta Lassiter has just gone to Fort Valley, where she is working out the help a trained worker can be between the school and the homo, and on the campus. Miss Ada Speight in Ilawkinsville, Georgia, has beautified the Church grounds with grass and shrubs and helped raise the order of the services, built up a Sunday school f)f seventy, bought a house and lot, and remodeled the little shanty into a parish house and com- niunity center. The property is now in the hands of the trustees of the diocese, and when I asked her what it had cost the diocese she answered, “Not a cent.” EPIPHANY 'I’ho traditional Epiphany Service is looked for ward to by many as the most impressive and lovely of the church feasts here at St. Augustine’s. Every year a large luimber of visitors and friends from the city .join us in the “Feast of Lights.” Over the years, it is believed, the spiritual significance of the symbolic parts of the service has reached more and more those who take part in it. Above the altar the illuminated star shone. At the head of the procession walked three characters rej)resenting the magi, while the choir followed, joining in the chorus of “^\ e 1 hree Kings.” Upon arriving in the chancel, each wise man presented his gift before the altar, singing his verse of the carol. Then followed evening prayer, with a sermon by President Goold. After the offering for missions had hwn received and tapers dis tributed, all lights, including the star, were ex tinguished, except the one candle on the altar. From this single light, the light was passed on to ev(*ry worshi}>]>ei, from one to his neighboi, until the chapel glowed with the soft effulgence. As the congregation passed out into the night the lights glowed far and wide over the campus and into tlie streets in the neighborhood. The service closed with this beautiful symbol of the spread of tlie gospel’s light. Charles Edward Boyer, ’23, has just been ap pointed director of Xegro activities of the Na tional Youth Administration in the State of North Carolina. Mr. Boyer, the son of our Dean Charles II. Boyer, is a graduate of Morehouse (^ollege, and of the Atlanta School of Social Work.
