SOLUTION OF SOCIAL
PROBLEMS DISCUSSED
Dean of Women At W. C.
U. N. C. Speaks To Salem
‘ ‘ The solution of industrial and
social problems lies in the hands of
thinking college women,” Miss Har
riet Elliott told Salem College and
Academy students in expanded chaji
el Wednesday morning. Miss Elliot
is dean of women and profes»8or of
political scienee at the Woman’s Co)
ege of the University of North Caro
lina.
In her talk, the subject of which
was “Pioneers of the Present,” Mis.-i
Elliot challenged the students with
the problem of better houses, better
health, and adecjuate education for
all.
Closely tied up with these prob
lems is the problem of wages and
finances. The solution of these ques
tions cannot be wrought overnight.
Miss Elliot pointed ont.
To provide homes for the millions
who are now living in houses not
worthy of the name of home, tn
meet the pressing need of medical
care for those in poor financial cir
cumstances, and to correct the in
equality of educational advantages
— these are the problems which
merit the attention of the thinking
student. ' :
“But are we interested in tht «ti-
ution sufficiently to saerifiee by
paying higher taxes or raising wagc^
or suffering a reduction on our stock,,
and bonds t” asked Misg .Elliot. Any
government assistance would result
in higher taxes. Better homes and
a good health program would lioth
necessitate this.
: “If you are going to be a pioneer
in the.social and industrial-.frontier
of today, you must have phyaieal
courage, infciligence, and imagina
tion just as the pioneers of old,”
AJiss* Elliot concluded.
