SALEM ACADEMY
Saieii^ uovv 0,11 liisiiLuiiOn on the eastern side of Salem’s fifty-six acre campus, was first founded in 1772, but its
present building was first used in September, 1930. Although the Academy appears to be only one building, in reality there
are three brick buildings connected by stair towers. These three buildings were the gift of the families of three alumnae
sisters, Carrie Fries Shaffner, Mary Pries Patterson, and Emma Fries Bahnson. They are of the same quaint Moravian
architecture as the other old Salem structures. The two wings of this group are student and teacher dormitories on the
upper floors. The lowest floor of the left wing is the dining hall and kitchen; the basement floor of the right wing con
tains a book store, laundry, art room, and a pnall private dining room and kitchenette. In the center of the group is the
Mary Patterson Building which is the administration building. Here are the offices and classrooms, and in the basement
is a spacious social room.
This year the Academy has seventy-six students — fifty-seven boarders and nineteen day-students. There are seventeen
more boarding stiidents this year than last. These girls come from 14 different states, from Minnesota and Massachusetts to
Florida. There are fourteen teachers who live on the campus in the Academy buildings.
This school includes the last four years of high school Work. It is a college preparatory school, and its graduates may enter
any standard college. The small •classes, supervised study halls, and regular hours are of unestimable value to its students
of high school age.

EDUCATION PROGRAM
CONTINUED IN EX
PANDED CHAPEL
Annette McNeely Presided
Over Program
As part of the program of Na
tional Education Week, the Wednes
day expanded chapel hour for Salem
Academy and College iwaa ^ven
over to six student talks, five of
them dealing with educational cus
toms of five different countries, and
the conclusion being a lecture on
“Salem Fifty Years Ago.” All of
the girls were dressed in the costume
of their country or time, and An
nette McNeely presided over fhe
pTogram.
Frances Cole represented Russia
and told how the new system of edu
cation differs from the old, which
was for one special class and aimed
at the support of the Czarist status
quo of church and state. The new
system is experimental, social, prac
tical and utilitarion, and seeks to
educate and enlighten the masses, to
enable every human being to ob
tain personal cultivation and to
make materialists of the people. The
school plays a larger part in Russia
than the home and is a vital part of
the government. The system is prac
tical but the scholastic standard is
law; but although education has
come far, it still has far to go.
Anna Leak Scott gave a portrayal
of the education in China. Formerly
China had no co-educational system
and offered no athletics. Now she
has both and also one year of re
quired military training for the boys.
