‘Administration’s Approach
To the Depression’ Is
Subject
■Ur. Albert Keister, Head of the
Department of Economics at Woman s
. College of University of' North Caro
lina, Greensboro, was the peaker at
Chapel on Wednesday.' The subject
of his talk was “The Present Ap
proach of the Administration to the
“sr'SL M Ik.
Tiassed bv the President and Congress
have had a great effect on Banking.
The collapse of the banking suture
shows a grave weakness this sys-
tern A law was passed to insure de-
positors against the failure oi' a bank.
President Roosevelt wishes also - to
unify the banking system At present
we have a duel sytem of banks. This
crisis in tlie banking of the Uni
ted States. One out of every' thr«:€
banks in America failed. In Canada
•md Enirland there has not been a sin-
le failure. This is because they have
a unified banking system.
The United States has f
gold standard. The President s idea
IS to lower the worth of the dollar
and thus raise prices.
If the people
Tf the people can oe sa.'/eA from
worthless C"ds, a great step Wll be
taken towards ending the depression.
The Administration is attempting
to aid the farmers. The farmer is
receiving TO per cent of former prices
f^r Zfr crops. He pays 130 per
cent more for goods that he buys. The
Administration has established insti
tutions where' the fanner may receive
loans. Dr. Keister stated that the
too much in debt to gel;
r 1 There is a plan also to
decrease the farm products. This is a
bad plan in the long run.
should be enough of =^11 f ^eal
for everyone. The attempt to
with mortgaged homes is ■ not very
successful.
One of the most interesting e:q)eri^-
ments of the Administration is the N.
R A The government wants various
firms’ to cooperate. It gives workers
the right to organize. Hours of the
workers must be shorter and. wages
must be raised. This is an attempt
to increase the buying power of the
consumer. Competition among firms
has had a very serious effect on work
ers. A Consumer’s Advisory Board
has been organized to keep manu
facturers from raising prices too lugh;
The ffovernment has taken steps
in relief of poverty. Under the Hoov
er administration, the Federal govern
ment had to take part in this relief
work President Roosevelt is contin
uing this plan, but is putting the peo
ple to work instead of giving them the
money.

Dr. Raymond Smith
Speaker At Vespers
Gives Poet’s Thoughts on
Subject of Prayer
Dr. Raymond Smith, leader of re
ligious education at the Centennary
Methodist Church and a former i"—-
ber of the Salem College Faculty,
guest speaker at Vespers on Sunday
night, November 19. The service
held in the Campus living roon
the Alice Clewell Building and Miss
Mary Sparser Absher had charge of
the worship program.
Dr. Smith stated that prayer
almost too great a subject for him
to speak upon in the short time allot
ted him. Therefore he let the poets,
both ancient and modern, speak on
the subject. After reading Henry
Emerson Fosdick’s “Meaning of Pray
er,’ Dr. Smith gave James Montgom
ery’s definition of prayer, contained
in a 17th century poem, as,
“Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire.
Hidden or expressed ...”
and also as,
“Prayer is the Christian’s vital
breath.”
The folowing seledtiom expresses
Tennyson’s idea of prayer, as he gave
■■ in “Morte d’Arthur.”
“More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Where
fore, let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and
day.
For -vyhat are men better than sheep
or goats
That nourish a blind life within the
brain
If, knowing God, they lift not hands
of prayer
Both for themselves and those who
call them friend?
For so the whole round earth is
every way
Bound by gold chains about the
feet of God.”
In “The Larger Prayer” by a mod
ern poet, man prayed first for light,
then for strength, then for faith and
peace. Finally, and God waited till
he prayed the larger prayer—he asked
for love—deep love to God and man.
Dr. Smith read further poems by
Max Eastman, Henry Van Dyke,
John Drinkwater, Hamlin Garland,
and Henry Kemp. He concluded with
one of Gilbert Chesterton’s poems,
one which takes a whole nation in
one which taakes a whole nation in
its grasp instead of an individual, aftd
the nation prays for the removal of
pride and for will and purpose and
strength.

s Entertain at
Dinner and Theatre
Seniors Are Honor Guests
Thursday evening, November 16,
le senior class—taking “ a tip from
the enticing sign on an enormous pur
ple trolley posted in Senior Hall—
met the Sophomores in the little din-
g room for dinner.
After the singing of grace “Praise
God from whom all blessings flow,”
the guests found their respectivf
places by attractive cards carrying
out the thanksgiving scheme of dec^
oration. For once the Seniors were
deprived of their exclusive position
at the head of the tables, for the
Sophomores graciously served as host-
At the end of the delicious three
course dinner, Nancy McNeely acted
as cheer-leader while the Sophomores
gave a peppy yell of fifteen rahs for
‘Seniors.”
The invitation to be present at the
Carolina Theatre to see “The Torch
Singer” was ■ renewed and at exactly
o’clock two special trolley cars
to Salem Square to ride the
members of both classes “instate to
see the show” exactly as the original
invitation had stated.
Evidently there was an .existing
plot to break down the Senior dignity
by choosing the picture of “The Torch
Singer,” for it was so realistic and
touching that the seniors bniffltW
throughoutv the performance.
Other guests present were Miss
Grace I^awrence, Miss Katherine Rig-
gan, and the sponsors of the two class
es, Misses Eloise Vaughn and Mary
Duncan McAnnaly.
P. S. Everybody had a good time.

Miss Anne Carroll
Moore Addresses
Students and Faculty
Prominent Authoress and
Critic Visits Salem
Last week Miss Anne Carroll
Moore of New York spoke to the
Salem studl(nt body. Miss Moore
is one of the best known critics of
children’s books. She is a lecturer, a
writer of children’s books, and head
of the New York public library.
Miss Moore wrote the delightfully
thrilling story of “Nicholas” and its
sequel “Nicholas and the Golden
Goose.” These two bo(>ks are very
popular among youngsters especially
" ose in New York who knew Nicho-
s in real life.
Miss Moore read from several new
books for children and told many in
teresting things she had done and seen
in Norway. One particularly inter
esting phase of her talk was the ex
planation of how she happened to have
the “trol” which she had with her.
This “trol” was a brown-wooden cha
racter shaped rather Ijke a bear. This
was a good luck companion.
Salem enjoyed having this distin
guished visitor.
Happy
Thanksgiving
