Education Classes to Extend
Practical Work to Negro
. Population.
Work for the colored population of
the village will be^in at au early date.
Plans have already been outlined by the
community service committee of the re
ligious activities organization for thisi
kind of work. The colored children of
the town are to receive week day reli
gious instruction similar to that offered
to the white children. This will be
given on Thursday afternoon at the
colore'd school which is situated on the
edge of the village. There is to be* a
night school for adults also. In this
school the Bible wil be taught for thirty
minutes to everyone together. This wili
be followed by classes in arithmetic
and sanitation and hygeine. The lattei
course, that in sanitation, will be undei
the general supervision of the State
Health Department. Dr. Rankin has
been asked to outline the course. It is
reported that the course in sanitation
will be followed in the spring with 3
course in home demonstration work.
and follow it up in the spring with a
careful study of home conditions and
home missions.
Coursese in Christian Endeavor ex
pert and teacher training have also been
announced.
A course for the study of the great
Southe>rn problem of the races will be
conducted for all those interested in
tliat line of work. Dr. Weatherford’s
book on the negro of the South will be
the opening text book. The course can
be made' ve-ry helpful in meeting and
solving this momentous problem of the
South.
The negroes of the town are manifest
ing a. great deal of interest in the new
work which is being planned and it is
believed that it will result in great good
to the colored population of the town
and in a mutual understanding and
harmony between the races.
The work of the night school is to be
intensely practical, and from time to
time may be broadened to meet the
needs of those whom it is intended to
serve.
The committee on community service
has also inaugurated plans for a kinder
garten of religious education at the
Orphanage. These are new phases of
work at Elon and are securing a great
deal of attention from the student body.
Tlie new co-operative organization is
making this vast amount of practical
outside work possible by a careful con
servation of time and energy, and by
bringing into service a larger number of
the students. This big extension work
cannot but result in a better trained
eadership for the church and the nation.
Beginning with the first Sunday in
October definite courses of study will
be offered by the various departments
through the Sunday school.
The committee on study courses has
not yet thoroughly completed its work,
but the following courses have already
been announced.
A course in Christian le^adership will i
be offered to Y. M. C. A. members. The! >;
text will be “The Making of Men”,
by Dr. W. A. Harper, and one of Dr.
Fosdick’s books on character building.
A course in Christian missions is of
fered to Y. W. C. A. members. During
the fall they will study foreign missions,
PSIPHELIAN LITERARY SOCIETY
The Psiphelian Literary Society met
with various feelings of suppressed ex
citement on the part of the individual
members, on last Monday night. The
Phi’s and Clios were to take in their
new members, and, because of the loyal
spirit of the Psiphelian girls, the young
ladies were as much interested in the
event that was to follow the society
meetings, as the young men themselves.
Calming themselves as be-st they could
under the existing conditions they lis
tened interestedly to the following pro
gram:
The North American Indian, by Miss
Ora Pace.
Latest Beauty Hints, by Miss Ross
Clark.
A Piano Solo, by Miss Annie Laurie
Philips.
Current Events, by Miss Esther Far
mer.
What I Hope to Get From My Trip
to Blue Ridge, by Miss Margaret Cor
bitt.
Miss Pace prepared and delivered a
good paper. The subject, one of para-
mounf interest to all red-blooded AmcTi-
caos, was delivered by her very credit
ably.
Miss Clark’s beauty hints were well
timed, instructive, and amusing, as she
selected *a number of advertisements
rife in our magazines of the day. Their
wonderfully curative and beautifying
powers were strongly emphasized by:
Miss Clark, who performed her task as
creditably as another Lillian Russedl.
Miss Phillips played her piano solo
without the use of notes, and did it well.
She seems to have ability in music and
the Society wishes for her much success
in the musical world.
Miss Farmer varied her current
events by bringing in a bit of fun. The
dryness of the events was freshened
up a great deal by the touches of fun
she had in her paper. She delivered a
good paper.
Miss Corbitt gave a delightfully in-
forcsting talk on Blue Ridge. It was an
informal little speech, but given in her
own individual way which f)leases al
ways her audience.
Immediately after the close of the
meeting the girls crowded out on the
second-floor porch of West Dormitory to
serenade, respond to, and cheer the
Clios and Phi’s. It was a great night
and one long fo be remembered by the
jiarticipants.
News comcs from London that an
aeroplane shed which cost $150,000 has
just be-en sold at public auction for a
sum of $.52.5. ,

metropolis of this district, the city and the store have advanced hand in hand, and in every event of progress
which has transpired, this store has most notably mad e its impress upon the welfare of the people. We
merely reflect public opinion in this statement, for it has repeatedly been said that “the greatest single force

born in this store.”
