Everyone at Salem is anxious that the Salem girl shall repre sent the highest type of Ameri can womanhood and it said with pride that the Salem standard is indeed high. But the best type of wodern woman hood confines her point of view to no narrow range; she is ac quainted with public affairs as well as with the events which take place within her own small circle. The all-round, worth while girl w'ill know what is happening in the political world, in Ilussia, in China, in Europe; she W'ill have at least some knowledge of the outside world. She will read the newspapers and make herself acquainted with the important events and personages of the day. She will not allow the vastly interesting happenings of an interesting age to slip by while she knows nothing of them. In order that she may be the best type of young woman, we urge the Salem girl to take an interest in public affairs, to read the news papers and to prepare herself to take her place as a useful citi- The foregoing subject minds us of the lact that Main Building consists largely ol class looms, and that recently there has been disturbances in the halls during class hours. The halls are not meant for assembly rooms, and if you must study them study quietly. A class can be annoyed intensely by loud talking and laughing outside and it is the duty of every girl to remain quiet in this building during class hours. le columns of the Salemite of September 26 ap peared an article entitled Late- The author cleverly de picted a girl’s one trait that pre dominates above all others—her characteristic tardiness at all engagements.

WORKERS TO ADDRESS SALEM STUDENTS There is a trite old axiom familiar to everyone, “Nothing venture, nothing have,” and this advice applies to everyone every w;ilk of life. The girl who hangs back, afraid to act, and lets someone else cast the decisive vote, or take the tiative, will never accomplish anything worth while. Daring, the quality which makes a per son stand out from his com panions, will result in achieve ment; timidity will never complish anything. The i who has ideas and puts them to practice is the s>irl who the leader. The person m initiative, the person who is i afraid to act, is the one does the work of the world and who is responsible for all prog- It seems to us that Salem studnets do not realize the dignity of Main Building, and are not aware of the fact that they detract from this dig nity by sitting on the front steps. IMain Building is the chief of the group which form the buildings of Salem College, and its front entrance is, in a way, the front door of Salem. It is not fitting, therefore, at any time, that groups of girls should be seen obstructing thig en trance and making merry on the front steps. There is a quiet distinction about the portico, with its white pillars and stone steps, w'hich is marred by a group of girls on the steps, and although there is no rule a- )w that the cool weather has :, and we are becoming ad justed to the college curriculum, we must not forget that prac tices for basket ball and other sports are being held every ifternoon under the direction of ;he Athletic Association. The 3lass teams will soon be chosen, md there is an opening in some iport for every student. Those 'nstrumental in promoting the ’.ports are urging that everyone ;ome out. There js only a short ime left for real practice before ,he championship games, -his year, we want these games 0 be the best ever held at Salem. Gome out for practice before it is too late—co-operation needed. ‘There’s a reason, join the Y. W. C. A.” —so reads the placard on the bulletin board! If ther has been any doubt in the mind of some individual as this “reason” might be, after the launching of the member ship drive and the program put on by the Freshmen last night can there be any doubt now as to why she should join the Y. W.? Everybody likes something new. The program last night in the hands of the Freshmen, was new “fresh” and interest ing. The impression held by so many that a member of the Y. Cabinet or anyone connected with the Y. W. C. A. must be unusual and different from the other girls is not the conception of the.Freshmen, for many have been in religious work at home and in the Y.

The campus seniors marched in body to their home, and sang 1 appropriate song to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne,” presenting them with a gift from the seniors and Miss Stipe, Dean of Women of Salem College. Dr. Mrs. Rondthaler expressed • deep appreciation of the gift and of the sentiment. Every member of the student body offers them hearty congratula tions and sincere best wishes.

Their idea of a college Y. is an enlarge ment of the slogan—“Be you great or be you small, Salem Y.

Next week the speakers will be Y. workers from the city Y. of Winston-Salem, both of whom are well known to old girls and who will soon be friends of the new.

The Farm Electrical Of the six and a half million farm homes in this country, only half a million have electricity. Still, the advantages of electricity are -widely known. But there is more to farm electrifica tion than the installation of motors, lights and heaters. Current must be brought to the farm, and that means many miles of transmission line, supporting poles, transformers, and ad equate generating equipment. Slowly but surely the electrification of Amer ican farms is taking place. As farmers learn how to use electricity, rural service lines reach out farther and farther into open country. Six million farms to be electrified! Here is a vast and virgin field for the application of electricity, with countless opportunities for college-trained men in the technical and com mercial phases of this undertaking. And for the agricultural college student and others planning a future life in rural sections, it means a better, bigger, happier life-time now in the making.
