Alumnae | We hope that every girl will carry out the suggestion made iu the fol lowing letter. In the spring of 1922, tlie Alumnae Association voted uimnl- niously to send Miss Colton a gift at Christmas, as it had done tho year before. No further action was taken, but If each girl makes an individual gift this Thankagivlng, it will fulfill tlie wishes of the aaaoclatlon as a whole. Dear Alumnae: Aa you have heard, Miaa Colton who has l>cen such a wonderful factor In bringing our Alma Mater iip to its present high place among women's colleges, has been seriously ill for many niontija in a Sanitarium. Re cently a letter, written by her nurse. caniQ to one of her frienda at Meredith and told of the great increase in her suffering, and a stale of well-nigh iielplessness. Her condition necessi- tal«8 Ihe services, day and night, of a priictical nurse. Thia, of course, udd.s to her Ilnaucial burdens, which wore already Kroat. All this by way of introduction to a suggestion I want lo make. Let us give Jllsa Colton a shower at Thanks- fiiviiig—a showor of notes of appre- ciiition for all she has done for our beloved Alma Mater, and of sympatiiy for her in her suffering, each note ac companied by a check or money order from one dollar up as high as you {■an. 'rhia will be a good way to ex press the thanks we feol for our Alma Mafer, and the blessInES It has lirnughl. us. It will bring good cliecr to a sufferer, and add materially to her comfort. This is entirely a personal letter and the response io it will be entirely a personal matter with ouch of yon; l.here iB no official action of our assocla'tion. Do not expect acknowlodgment from Miss Coitou. She is unable to write even a postcard to her own loved ones. The address is; Miss Elizabeth A. Collon, Clifton Springs Sanitarium, Clifton Springs, New York. Jinst cordially your friend, Foy Johnson Farmer (’07). girls are crowding our schoola. The' whole summev the boya have been coming trying to get In the scliool. Bu't we must not grow any more until we get more leachors. Music, Bible, literature and commercial courses are being crippled for lack of teachers. Five of us are trying to do the work this fall. But we need twelve to do it as it sliould be done. This past year I have carried Helen through her seventh grade work in addition 'to a number of extra ciassea for boya, men and girls besides teaching In the col lege and high school. This year since Helen must go to Kobo I can have a few more hours to teach in school oach day. Yet the work among the mothers and sisters of the students just cannot be done as It ahould be until rein forcements come from home. While I waa in America a few dol lars were given me which I Invested iu bulbs and seeds for the compound; three or four clasaea and friends have alao sent me seeds. I wish you might have seen "What a Garden Beautiful” wo presented In the spring. Some of my timo bc'tween classos, meetings and study I spent in cultivating the plants. The boys, too, made ilower bods in front of tho dorniltorica, so wc bad bowls of flowers especially nasiur- tiums, for the three dormitories, dln- ing-roonis. reading rooms, ohurcii, etc. Everybody enjoyed 'chc flowers! The hot August days have dried up things yet wo have some flowers left. How they do brigblen tho ground under the liinc trees. In tlie neighborhood Sunday School on Sunday mornlnga I havs a class of girls, ages 15 to l‘J yoars. I hope these arc gtiiliB to be the nnclcua for oiir Y. W. A. For thcso I want you 'CO pray. Just a little while ago two of them came and said, "Tcacher, we are sorry, but we shall not be able to conic to Sunday School any more, our fopfher will not pprnilt us to do so,'' There are many who would follow Christ In Japan but serious dlfncultios stand in the way, I spent scvoriil hours Sunday afteriinmi talking 'to a young man abo\it the way. For liim also the antagonism of tho father stands In his way. The father’s only desire Is that the son nmy bo highly educated and famous. The Crown Prince has come back from his world tour with a great many wos'tern ideas. He wants Ills people lo be like other great nations. We re joice in his advanced ideas. But he has not yet learned the seci-et of true success which is found only in Christ. This fall his wedding occurs. Great preparations are being made. Gifts suitable for royalty are being pre pared. Christian pcopio are planning to present him a Bible—one not too elaborate to read. Tlie packing of the children's trunks, going to meet Miss Mallory at the boat then back again to school, home and W. M. TJ. duties are ahead. We covet your prayers and sympathy in tiie work. This fall an ovangellstlc series of mee'lings is being planned for our lifteen churches. There were more than one hundred and sixty who came Into the Baptist chnrcli in a recent meeting in Tokyo, and there is jikicPi to be done. Tiie task is yet unrmislicd and the Master says, “liift up your oyeij, and look on the iiclds.” He lias no o’thcr way to bring Japan to Hinibolf. He is depending on you. Yours in His service for tho rcdtunp- tion of Japan. Sinccrcly, M.vfii B. DdZiKit. Ruth Poiircie spent wecic-ond with parents in Louisburg. Minnie Herrin was in Wako Forest Monday for Society Day. Susio Reams MorrJavillo. spent week-end iu Mary M. Parker waa iu ITcudersou Sunday, Eleanor Lovo spent week-end at her homo. Mary B. Martin spent the week-end in Wilson. f.iist week the first part of the le'tter from Mrs. Dozter was published, lell- Ins of her work among the women of Japan, and of tlio Boy's school in Fuicnokii. It is continued iu this iasuc. coM'iMu:!) riuoT i,AST wi';i:k g)tubent ©pinion ,.A A OUTLOOK 0-\ CX-ASS STU-NTS Ah everybody knows Saturday night stunt night, and a very enjoyable time it was. All of us want to culti vate ill us that spirit of originality iiiul cleverness. And for a class to present a s'tunt, such as any one pre sented Saluvday night, ccriHinly brings out the products of the working of ihc Kiris' brains in our iTHur classes. Mere- dilh always wants her danghtors to be fonr-snnare girls, and it takes many ari'omplfshiiiHnfs 'to cnnio. up to this Hiandiird. Not a small one of these ai:compli.shinents is the development i)f oriBlnaliiy. Again I say that tho KPlting u]) of a class stunt develops tiR along this line. So let’s give three flificrs for our ajunial stuntsi:: SUPERBA Annie Laurlo Simmons waa in Mentz for Sa’turday and Sunday. Annie Harris enjoyed Sociciy Day in Wake Forest. Xaomi Hocutt waa the guest of Mrs. A. r. Biigley of W'ake Forest Monday. Durtcll Blackwell spent tho week-end at her home In Castalia. Jano Heavers spent Sunday in Fuquay Springs with friends. Sadie Hobbs will spend Society Day In Wako Forest. Nita Turlington was in Benson for tho i)aat week. Beatrice Mai-tin spout week-end at hor home. Helen Thompson was iu Fuquay Springs lost w^eek-ond. Some Saturday morning I winli you could drop iu at our chapel for the special song service to hear our fftudonts sing. How different to the school just across the street which has no chnpol hour! Little moro than an hour from Fu kuoka Is our girls' school. It la just two years old. Two dormitories, gyui- naslum and missionary home is tho work shop for one hundred and sixty girls. Wo have askod the board for money for the main bulldiiig for this year. If this cannot ho granted trag- oily faces tho school, for more bed rooms cannot bo converted Into class rooms. And more than one hundred girls will have lo be turned away. This would put tho school iu a very bad light before the Japaueao gov ernment. It would seem to them that w'c aro not going to make good. We pray that the pledges for the $75,000,- 000 nmy bo met. How much It moans for ua to have to retrench. “American Cluiatianity does not amount to so much after all. They don’t maintain their schools and churches." la the criticism wlilch awaits us. Yet build ings and equipment are not out only need. Our need foi' mon and womon Is growing desperate, Tha boys and Novoiiibor 12, li?, 14: 1). W. GRIFFITH’S “777^ BIRTH OF A NATION^ November 15, Ifi, 17: ^'lOLA DANA in *‘HER SOCIAL CODE' When we (Freshmen) cntereM col lege one of the most outstanding guea- tiona in the heart of each one of us was: “Shull I or shall I not like every activity connected with my college life?” We each knew without any question whatsoever, that on choosing Meredith we had chosen the best of all schools. We knew also that we were going lo like the different phases of work and pleasure connected with school life here. Yet the one great question; "What one thing shall I like the best?” continued to ring in the minds of everyone. Upon answer* ing this I feel sure that I shall voice the opinion of all my fellow classmates when I say lhai we have found the wonderful cooperative spirit that ex ists among the student body at Mere dith. to be the one most important factor. Of course each one of us realized that diiriiig our slay a1 MerL’dllh wi> Would all have our apella of the "blno.s" and liomesickncss. .\nd as we had antici pated, we met our worse times at tho very beginning. But due to tho spirit thill run among the students of Jlere- dith we were not left alone long to pino for did we not continually have our big sister.* present lo chcer us iilnng and eticoiirage us to move on ward to higher and belter things? We may also stop here for a tew miniites just long enough to say a few wijnis about our other sister classes, the "Sophs" and “Senioi's." li is a known fact that wc cherish the friend ship of the "Seniiirs" as a valuable troasnre. Then next are the “Sophs.” Surely as we had oxpecird we roceived our initiation from them, which at times seemed rather luird, yet which we all bnre n« gnorl f-nnrt':. But T ven ture lo say tliat there is not one of tho “Sophs." proud as they are of lliolr "2G," who would nut stop long enough Id help one of their friends of "21” out 01’ trouble—or who would re fuse them any aid of any kind. Fur th:it is just llio spirit .running abroad at Meredith College. Help one another, tiion help one's self. Therefore 1 am sure lhal Ihe Fresli- man chiss as a whole wlslloi! to say that Ibey apprcciare tho loiiperacive spirit of their newly made friends and wish to do their part In making Mere dith the very best yet. i EFIRD’S CAROLINA’Sl lARGEST CHAIN OF ONE-PRICI'^ DE1.’ARTN'[ENT STORES WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATRONAGE WE 'SELLi rr li-OR LESS YOU ARE WELCOME AT ALL TIMES Sample Shoe Store Shoes and Hosiery 21S S.
