Woodhouse Speaks On
On Approach To A Job
Y. P. M. Hears Interesting
Talk on Situation Today
“The Approach to a Job in 1933,,
vas the subject chosen by Mrs. Chase
Going W'oodhouse for her very in
teresting talk in expanded chapel
Wednesday morning. Mrs. Wood-
jse spoke of the scarcity of em
ployment and emphasized securing
y job possible with the view of
ing the experience gained to the
best advantage in future activity.
Four things that a girl who is a
;ollege graduate of 1933 may do
^fere explained by Mrs. Woodhouse.
rile very first thing of all to be
•emembered is that, no matter what
me is doing, a definite goal should
be kept in view. As a rule college
graduates want to follow a profes-
n. However, often this cannot be
anged, and in that case, a job of
le kind can be gotten, and used
the best possible way as a step
to-wards that definite aim. Even
if jobs cannot be found, there is no
;ason to be discouraged. There are
ift two fields of voluntary work
which will broaden the knowledge
and add to experience; Welfare and
Civic work. W'ork that could never
be done otherwise is completed
through volunteers in these fields.
People need to think more of them
selves their country and their prob
lems than they ever have before. The
world is becoming more complex and
is demanding much more from
inhabitants than formerly.
A college education is an assel
such lasting value that no depression,
even though it be so long as that of
the Middle Ages, can take it away.
Material things are important, but
time and money spent in acquiring
knowledge and culture are never
wa.sted.
Mrs. W'oodhouse pointed out that
things will never get better so long
as we sit waiting patiently with fold
ed hands for things to improve.
Prosperity will not come to us but
we must go after it.
In conclusion Mrs. Woodhouse
said she thought that the boys and
girls graduating from college in 1933
and ’34 are fighting as hard a battle
as those boys and girls did back
1918, a harder battle because they
have no brass buttons and bands
cheer them on, but they are strong
and they will win.
During her visit of a day and
half, Mrs. Woodhouse discussed with
many of the Seniors the possibility
for work next year, and as a result
the outlook on the coming year of
the Senior class is much brighter.
President Comments On
The Banking Situation
Drive Made To Improve
Science Lab. Equipment
Prof. Higgins Conducts Wide
Search for Needed Materials
The department of science, under
he direction of Prof. Charles II.
Higgins, is m.aking a strong effort
to improve its equipment, which will
allow the introduction of new courses
in nature study and geography. It
is just in the lack of certain demon
stration and laboratory equipment
that the science laboratory fails to
■et the highest requirements of the
State Department of Education.
iiowing that material of this na-
is commonly kept at homes,
where it is of no particular value,
the department asks for contribu-
ions of collections and instruments
and for information about where
they may be found. Any contribu-
ion will be of great value to the
Mr. Lliggins, in giving a Saleiniie
cporter an account of the project,
gave a list of materials needed, and
added by way of emphasis:
‘We need your assistance at this
e. Courses in Nature Study and
nciples of Geography have had to
be introduced into the curriculum of
Salem College to meet the require
ments of the State Department of
Education, and there is little demon
stration and laboratory equipment
available for these courses.
Ve are appealing to the alumnae,
students and friends of the college to
help us to secure the necessary ma
terial to give these courses in a way
that will be a credit to the College.
“We have need of the following

Mounted (stuffed) birds.

Bird nest collections.

Salem Academy Library
Moves Up Two Notches
Comfortable Furnishings And
Several Periodicals Added
Last Monday afternoon the entire
student body of Salem Academy was
invited to a tea in the French class
room. Instead of walking into a
drab recitation room as they had ex
pected, the girls entered a new li
brary. Arcmnd the walls were huge
scenic posters. The books were
ranged neatly in the painted e:
On one of the three reading tables
periodicals were spread. The rugs,
curtains, and arm chairs gave the
room somewhat the aspect of a home
library.
Salem Academy has also been
promised subscriptions to several
new magazines. These are Harper’s,
Vanity Fair, Travel, Antiques, Stu
dio, House and Garden, New Yorker
and Harper’s Bazaar.
Monday morning during casses,
Miss Vogler managed to have all the
books, magazines and shelves moved
from the old library in the basement
to the second floor of the Mary Pat
terson building.
The girls knew nothing about it
until the tea in the afternoon.
Present Economic Dis
tress Due to Our Folly
Dr. Rondthaler Discusses Two
Bills Before Congress
On March 7 at the morning Chap
el service Dr. Rondthaler began the
first of his timely remarks concern
ing the Bank holidays which were
declared by President Roosevelt on
Vlarch 6. His interesting comments
■ontinued through March 14. Each
morning Dr. Rondthaler presented
the national and local situation to
the students and faculty by relating
the latest developments published in
newspapers and by adding his own
succint word of enlightment and en
couragement.
Tuesday morning March 14,
brought the group of talks to a close.
“The Banks,” Dr. Rondthaler said,
“resume their work this morning at
o’clock. It is hard to tell what
this means in business—the removal
of incredible cares, responsibilities,
and difficulties. It may seem a small
thing to have students and a faculty
thing to have student and a faculty
who have been as patient as those of
this college.”
The trouble has come, continued
the speaker, from people losing their
heads. Considerable inconveniences
have been the result. It is, however,
great to go through a thing like this,
especially is it great, in after years
look back and remember the try
ing situation of this era.
Dr. Rondthaler also spoke of the
two outstanding bills before Con
gress, the bill for the modification
of the Volstead Act, and the bill for
reduction in the vast appropriation
to the alleged relief for veterans.
After explaining the import of each
bill he urged everyone to follow the
procedure of Congress carefully and
thoughtfully for, said he, unfor
tunately many' people read only
headlines which are often in them
selves misleading.
