tjiieBtion which I would like to men
tion, and that is the social side. I
do not think that when we come rlKlit
down to brass tacks any o£ us want
or think that God Intended social
equality l)etwpen separate and dis
tinct races. He must have had a pur
pose for each race. If we are to
kfcp the races distinct wo cannot have
Hodal eciiiality. Going back to the Sa
maritan we see that after he had
done what he coukl for the wounded
man, each went on his own way hap
pier than before. Would we not be
happier also, if we would lend a
helping hand in the education and
religious training of those who are
less fortunate than we? Anyway,
let's think about it this week, and
then go to Y, W, next Sunday with
open minds, and see If IVIrs. Bickett’s
point of view can help iis.
MJSS WENCHELL OF
COLUMBIA SPEAKS
IN CHAPEL
The race ciuestion la one in which
we are all Interested either directly
or indirectly. But are we facing this
ciueatlon squarely when we shut our
eyes and say, "1 see nothing wrong;
America is 9.S percent all right"? We
do not like to be accused of letting
>ionuM>ne else do our thinking for
us, and yet that is exactly what we are
doing wlien we accept the prejudices
of mir parents and Krundparents with
out a (luestion. In order to do any
original thinking we must have a few
t'i;cts as a point of departure, Mrs.
I-Jlckctt Is to Hpcak lo us next Sun
day ovoning In V. W. c. A, on the
race problem. Here is our chance!
Let's make the most of it. If we
think it thru honestly, and still reach
tlK' sumo conclusion, at least It is
our own concln.sion and not that of
someone else.
To open our eyes and recognize the
I'.ocds and rights of the negro race
is not siimcienl. 1 do not think ther^
iv anyone who would deny that
m'grcH-H Imvi' ilie same rl^ht to re
ligion that we have, but are they
really getting it? Uefore God a soul
is a soul whollu'r it belongH to a
wiiiie or a colored person. On the
otiier liaml we are never divided when
i\ comes to ilie mailer of cduciUioii.
Tliosf who have not opened their
cye.s to tho need do not believe In
-du'Htion for ttie negroes at all. Of
those who do see th(' need one group
say.s, "Yes, I nee thal education would
help, bill let them ^el it alone. 1
am doiiiy; enough when i stand by
and lit) nothing to stop ihem," and the
other sroup says, "1 believe tho ne
groes hav. a ri^lM. lo education, and
I will do whatever 1 can toward that
eml." Of course we all kiii>w whicli
group Is following the exani])le the
gooi Samarilan set for us wlien he
ministered unto the woujided man In
stead of passing hy on the other side
of lii> road.
There Is one other side lo this

"There is one tyi>e of profession
that all of us are interested in, the
profession of living In a family grou|i.*’
a,-serted Miss Wenchell, head of the
department of i-lousehold Arts of Co
lumbia University, in chapel Tuesday
morning. March She pointed out
tho value of training for home making
and home-sharing while one Is securing
her college education.
"Are you learning to live with
others?" questioned the speaker. She
further showed the requirements In
volvcd in this question; patience and
forbearance with peculiarities of
others; control of ourselves; control
of our environment; the ability to do
some things well, and to share in actlvl- '
ties lo make home what It should be;
keeping yourself well lit; learning to
help others live up to the best that is
in them; physical education; learning
to eliminate the nou-essenlials; will
ingness to give up the lesser com
forts, and similar problems. Further
more. one must build up a rich cal-
tnral back-ground that she may be
better enabled to be agreeable not
only to others with whom she is
Immediately associated, but also with
herself.
In conclusion, Miss Wenci\ell cUncli-
ed her points already brought for
ward with the statement, “The
strength of the nation depends upon
the strength of the home.” Hence the
great importance to the young woman
to realize this importance, and pre
pare herself accordingly whether she
is to make a home for herself, return
to her own home or be associated In
home life in any other manner.
This lecture by Miss Wenchell of
fered not only unique subject matter
as coni|>ared with the usual talks to
an audience of Meredith students, but
furnished particular interest to the-
students of sociology. There was some
thing of value also to those studying
religions education, psychology, phil
osophy, chemistry and homo econom
ics aside from the general emphasis
on the importance of training In home
making.
