DRESSES SCIENCE ttDB
Last Meeting of the Year
On Wednesday night. May 13, the
Science Club held the last meeting
of the year 1935-’36 in Park Hall.
After a short business meeting, Miss
Carlotta Ogburn, president of the
Science Club, introduced the speaker,
Mr. Roy Campbell, who spoke on
“Muscle Fatigue.” After the lec
ture Mr. Campbell gave a demon
stration of muscle fatigue. He re
moved the muscles from the thigb of
the leg of a frog. When electrical
stimplus was applied to the muscle,
it contracted. These contractions
were recorded on a kymograph. A
microtome was used to regulate the
time intervals of the contTaetions of
the muscles.
COLONIAL DAMES AC
QUIRE SALEM HOUSE
Oldest Elxisting Dwelling of
Moravian Settlers
DR. CHANG LECTURES
IN EXPANDED CHAPEL
The Forsyth County branch of the
North Carolina Society of Colonial
Dames of America have announced
that they have purchased the fourth
house to be erected in the town of
Salem. It stands on the fourth lot
on Main Street north of Bank Street.
The house has been named “The
Fourth House” by the organization.
It will be restored in the exact archi
tecture of the early Moravians; and
furnished in every detail in old Mo
ravian style. It will be used as a
museum and a meeting place for
the Colonial Dames.
The following interesting item is
found in the Bethabara diary for
July 25, 1767:
“Brother Schropp went to Salem
with Brother Rueter, where they
staked the ground for the fourth
house. ’ ’
On November 28, 1767 the record
reads:
“Early in the morning a number
of brethren from here (Bethabara),
went to Salem, and helped the breth
ren there to raise the fourth house,
which they finished successfully by
noon, without accident, thank God.”
This is all that is said about build
ing the house, but the German verb
used in the diary shows that it was
a frame house, not a log house. It
was customary to call the neighbors
in, after the timbers were prepared,
and they were “raised” quickly.
Since the houses on both sides had
cellars, it is probable that this did
also. It was a simple one-story
dwelling house.
Apparently, various persons occu
pied the house during the first years.
However in 1771, Charles Holder
and his wife moved into the house.
He came from Northampton County,
Pennsylvania, and was a saddle-
maker by trade.
The house was sold by the Mo
ravian congregation in 1844 to Henry
Rude for five hundred dollars.

Lorado Taft Lectures
Thursday Night
The Parents’ and Teachers’ Con
ference on Childhood and Youth is
being held this year on May 21st
and 22nd at Reynolds Memorial Audi
torium. The subject of the confer
ence is the child’s need of the arts.
Lorado Taft, noted sculptor, spoke
Thursday night. Mr. Taft has made
statues and monuments for many
cities and states. One of his most
interesting statues is the Fountain
of Time on the west terminal of
Chicago’s midway. Few know that
Taft himself, in artist’s smock forms
part of the procession in the rear of
the Fountain, and three young girls
in the foreground—“the spirit of
youth peering forward and trying
to outstrip the current of life”—
have the features of Mr. Taft’s daug-
ters. It has been aptly said that Mr.
Taft’s work are ‘ ‘ sermons in stone. ’ ’
There is a reverence, awe and etheral
beauty in his sculpture, which is
“the soul of man laid bare.”
Mr. Taft declared that the Ameri
can people are especially unconscious
of their inheritance of the past. The
rushing life of America is apt to de
stroy any new talent.
He then reviewed the periods of
history when art was at its zenith.
France expressed a mass appreciation
of art through the building of ca
thedrals.
“In the smug pride of our igno
rance we call those times the “Dark
Ages,” he said, “How I wish that

Speaks on ^‘Relation of
China To World
Civilization”
Dr. Y. Z. Chang, famous Chinese
scholar spoke at Y. P. M. The sub
ject of his speech was “The Relation
of China to World Civilization.”
China was known to the western
world at a very early date. There
is mention of it in the writings of
Horace. Late Greek philosophers
made mention of Chinese art.
Marco Polo after his return from
China published an account of his
travels. He admired the postal sys
tem. This combined with a hotel
system was maintained by the gov
ernment. Important news could be
relayed from border to the capitol
and government orders could be sent
to all parts of the country very
quickly. He remarked on the cour
tesy of the people. He mentioned
the trade possibilities. Following
him a number of Catholic jyriests
went to China. But from the thir
teenth and fourteenth centuries
Europe lost track of China.
In the sixteenth century Spanish
and Portuguese traders went to
China. And late in the sixteenth
century a Roman Catholic historian
wrote a so called “History of
China. ’ ’ It was translated into sev
eral languages. He described the
wonderful country. There were
charitable organizations created by
