MAYOR HANES AT WED
NESDAY CHAPEL MEETING
In chapel Wednesday morning
Mayor Hanes made an eloquent ad
dress on Good Citizenship. In the in
troduction of his speech, Mr. Hanes
went quickly from the humorous to
the serious.
Mr. Hanes said that our national
government was, perhaps, the biggest
business in the world, yet we think it
a most acceptable subject for jest. We
consider as a joke the great responsi
bility of the president and congress—
a responsibility for our money, our
welfare, and our lives. If officials
are responsible to us, we are, likewise,
responsible to them, for government
comes from the consent of the people.
This principle holds true in the gov
ernment of nation, state and city.
The semi-commission government
of Winston-Salem is like a business
organization: the citizens are the
stockholders, the aldermen are the di
rectors, and the mayor is the presi
dent. It is the duty of the city offi
cials to elect the heads of the depart
ments of civic government. It is true
economy to pay high salaries for
competent men to fill these positions.
The police department, the fire de
partment, and the department of pub-
lis works are considered necessities.
In the last year Winston-Salem spent
two and a half millions on public
works.
The public is slow to realize the
value of the departments of health and
education. Although these depart
ments are so important, yet they have
not yet been reco^izcd in the city
charter as necessities. The members
of the health department examine the
school children and give free medical
aid to the poor. Through their efforts
the death rate of Winston-Salem has
been lowered.
Education is a preparation for
citizenship. When wo consider that
the majority of children go no further
than the public schools, twenty-two
dollars seems a small sum for this
city to spend on the education of each
child. This amount spent for educa
tion means either that the teachers are
unprepared for their work or that the
public is unappreciative of this work.
In concluding his address Mayor
Hanes asked that our government be
treated seriously and criticized care
fully. We should hesitate to accept
the criticism of the soap box politi
cian, who never succeeded in runnmg
anything except his tongue vVe need
clear, definite ideas of government;
and, then concerted action to improve
conditions.
FORM ADVERTISING CLUBS.
In practically every college and high
school today are young men and young
women interested in advertising and
journalism. A great many of the stu
dents get practical experience by
working on their school paper. But
there are many others who content
themselves with the prescribed courses
attending regularly classes in jour
nalism, in marketing, in business ad
ministration and kindred subjects.
English, Psychology, History enroll
many more.
Would it not be helpful if all these
students interested in journalism and
advertising had a central meeting
place where they could regularly ex-

THE NEAR EAST RELIEF.
One Sunday of every year is set
apart for the purpose of presenting to
the people of the United States the
need of funds to carry on the work of
the Near East Relief. In chapel ser
vice Friday morning, Rev. S. K.
Emurian, a Presbyterian pastor of
Norfolk, Va., spoke to the college and
academy students of the dependence of
Armenian sufferers on America.
“Other nations”, he said, “ai'e too
busily engrossed with their own af
fairs to heed the call of the more than
one hundred thousand children who
stand at their doors and knock, cry
ing, “Help, lest we perish”, and the
fate of these helpless little ones is de
cided by the attitude of the institu
tions of your o%vn great country.”
Mr. Emurian was formerly a music
teacher in Armenia but was exiled
several years ago. His relatives have
suffered untold cruelties at the hands
of the Mohammedan invaders—his
sister escaping to America only after
her husband had been murdered, and
her children taken from her and
placed in Turkish homes. The story
of the months of persecution she en
dured for her faith and her adherence
to that faith even in the face of death
itself was the subject of Mr. Emur-
ian’s talk at the First Presbyterian
church Sunday morning.
“We know little about sacrifice,” he
said in conclusion. “We give our
money and think we have given up a
great deal for the sake of our reli
gion, but these Armenians show us
the real meaning of the word. Their
country has been ravaged, their
fathers and brothers killed, their wo
men and children taken from them
and made slaves of the enemy. But
their belief in God is unshaken.
Armenia is being kept alive for a pur
pose. She will finally accomplish the
conversion of her persecutors, and if
she knocks in vain at your doors, if
you do not heed the call, “Come over
into Macedonia and help us”, her
blood is on your hands. But America
will not fail her less fortunate neigh
bor. She will give of her wealth to
care for the thousands who are
starving.”
Five dollars is the amount needed
to feed one child for a month; ten
dollars will provide food and clothing
foi^ the same length of time; and for
fifteen dollars, the child is fed,
clothed and sheltered.
At various other churches in the
city the subject was also presented
and as a result of the campaign a
large sum was secured to carry on the
work of the Near East Relief.
CHARMING DINNER PARTY
Misses Dawson, Whitaker and
Thomason, Hostesses.
Sunday evening, in response to
original invitations sent out by Misses
Margaret Whitaker, Raye Dawson and
Kathleen Thomason, their guests as
sembled in the second floor sitting
room of the Alice Clewell Building.
The guests caught the spirit of the oc
casion and arrived wearing hat and
gloves, and carrying card cases. Their
cards were very formally presented at
the door upon their arrival.
A long table was arranged down the
center of the room. Places were laid
for fifteen. The place cards were red
hearts, and the centerpiece, mint
baskets and paper napkins were also
suggestive of Valentine’s Day.
A delightfully palatable three-course
dinner was served. The first course
consisted of broiled steak and gravy,
baked Irish potatoes and rice. Fruit
salad formed the second course and
for the third course candies and nuts
were served.
The favors, crepe paper hats, at
tractively decorated with tiny red
hearts were passed with the third
course.
The guests voted the occasion one of
great success and declared their hos
tesses most original and talented in
planning and preparing the dinner.
The guests were Misses Mabel
Pollock, Julia Hairston, Bright Mc-
Kemie, Edith Hanes, Ruth Reeves,
Mary Warren, Hazel Short, Ayhvin
Hughson, Una Lindsay, Rachel Jor
dan, Dorothy Kirk and Elizabeth
Zachary.
DAVIDSON RECOGNIZED.
Davidson has recently been put upon
the approved list of the universities
and colleges of America. The Amer
ican Association of Universities has
two lists of members, the first one
containing only universities. The sec
ond list is for colleges whose work and
standing are approved by the asso
ciation. This means that a student
with an A.B. from Davidson v/ill be
accepted abroad and will be admitted
to the highest privileges of any in
stitution. Before this time Davidson
men have been accepted at Yale, Har
vard, Hopkins, Princeton and other
colleges without examination. This
new distinction will be of particular
benefit to Rhodes scholars who go to
Oxford.
Doctor Lingle and Doctor Martin
has been instrumental in having Da
vidson placed on this list.

HOME ECONOMICS MOUSE
TELLS OF ANOTHER EVENT
H. E. Juniors Entertain Faculty.
One of the oddest parties was given
on Tuesday afternoon, in my apart
ment, or rather I should say, one of
the oddest parties to my own opinion,
because those who came did not think
it was odd. Instead, they thought it
was a lovely party given for the
ladies of the faculty. They called it
a reception.
For an hour before the reception,
there was a hustle and bustle through
the rooms. From where I sat, 1 could
see girls placing ferns, draping British
ivy around windows, and concealing a
large punch bowl in a great mound of
green which was in a circle of lighted
candles.
1 could not see in the kitchen, nor
was I brave enough to take a single
peep at what was in progress there,
because, although it its my own
kitchen, I am sometimes chased from
it. Nevertheless, from the familiar
sounds, I knew that the Junior Home
Economics Girls were preparing some
refreshments.
Later appeared five ladies, Misses
Leftwich, Rogers, Green, Sessoms and
Mrs. Meinung. They welcomed the
members of the faculty into the Home
Economics Department. Punch,
chicken salad, biscuits, olives and
coffee were served by girls who have
a chance to visit the department very
often, and who have so many good
times cooking, cleaning cupboard and
washing towels.
From the expression on the faces
of every one who called, I knew the
guests were having a nice time.
THURSDAY MUSIC HOUR.
The second of the series of Thurs
day Music Hours, a l»upils’ recital,
took place in Memorial Hall January
25, 1923. The varied program was
well rendered, and the large audience

Chopin—Waltz in C minor—Eliza
beth White.

—Velma Cline.
Greig—Norwegian Bridal Proces
sion—Marion Schallert.
Professor Brander Matthews, writ-
ing in the Times Book Review on
Second Hand Situations,” says:
“On another occasion I propounded
the theory that the first writer who
uses a situation deserves credit as its
inventor; the second is a plagiarist;
the third is merely lacking in origin
ality, and the fourth is only drawing
from the common stock.
“‘Yes,’ asid a university president,
who was sitting opposite to me, ‘and
when the fifth man uses that situa
tion it’s research!'”
