CHAPTER NEWS Scotland Neck Alumnae For some time the Scotland Neck chapter of Meredith Alumnie had been almost inac tive, so recently some of the most interested alumn® called a meeting for the purpose of re organization. This was held in the ladies’ parlor of the Baptist Church and was fairly well at tended. After some discussion Mrs. R. A. Phillips (Sallie May Josey) was elected president and Lil lian Wheeler secretary and treasurer. Committees were appointed to collect dues and plan for a real live social meet ing in the near future. There are about thirty-live who should be active members, and we hope to have good things to report in a short while. Lillian Wheeler, Secretary. Miss Ida Poteat, head of the art department in Meredith Col lege, was a guest of the Kinston alumnse at their chapter meet ing on May 9 at the home of Mrs. Sopfjie Knott Brewer. She made a cj^arming talk on “Some of the unusual things in art I saw while in Europe,” after which a social hour was enjoyed and refreshments were served. ^e extend sympathy to Mrs. 0. H. Browne (Mary Martin Johnson, ’21), of Lexington, Va., in the death of her father, Mr. Jas. M. Johnson, on May 16, at Raleigh, N. C. NEWS ITEMS Glennie Morgan, *27, of Marshville, N. C., spent several days recently with her sister, Mary. Mrs. J. M. Spiers (Martha Powell, ’24), of Richmond, Va., was a caller at the college on Friday of last week. Dorothy Turlington, of Sa- lemburg, N. C., was a guest of Miss Virginia Branch, of the music faculty, on May 16-17. Mrs. Eugene Olive (Iva Pear son, ’13), of Chapel Hill, was a visitor of the college on Satur day morning, last. Mrs. Bickett Discusses Social Welfare Work (C»ntinue4 fnm page ma) ■ touch with prisoners who are released on parole and see that they do not return to their for mer life. Lastly, there is the work among boys and girls under sixteen years of age. De linquents are given a physical examination, and if their home is not considered good they are placed in the Detention Home until they can be moved to a re formatory or returned to the care of their parents. Mrs. Bickett told some of the needs of the welfare board in order to do more efficient work. Among the most important things are a workhouse for older girls, a sanitarium and hospitals. She also discussed the train ing that a welfare worker should have. A thorough col lege training with special em phasis on sociology and psy chology is necessary. A pros pective worker may also go to a special training school. A woman who is physically strong and capable of under going severe strain and who has the grace of God in her heart is the only kind who should enter welfare work. Commencement, 1930 May we count on you for Commencement? When do you expect to arrive ? Do you wish us to reserve a ticket for you to the Alumnce Luncheon? Signed Address B.S.U. NOTES Echoes From Ridgecrest On Campus Sunday night about 11:30 members of the Ridgecrest Stu dent Retreat Group of last year serenaded the girls by singing a gi'oup of Ridgecrest pep songs. Such a foretaste of the merry life at Ridgecrest gave many of the listeners a desire to attend the conference there. Meredith B.S.U.

Mrs. Kemp Neal Talks At Chapel Exercises (Coiilinucd from page one) open to girls. It has progressed rapidly, and the one-time long hours and extremely hard work have been abolished. But even yet it is a position which means hard work, and there is no short road by which a girl can become a nurse. For a girl with no col lege education three years of training in a hospital are neces sary, while only two years are necessary for a college gradu ate. There are various phases of work in the field of nursing, such as public health work, teaching preventive medicine and health, and specialized woi’k. In any of these a college girl is so much more capable, having had a sufficient amount of trained and cultured back ground. Nursing offers a very attractive salary, but more than that it offers an opportunity for a young woman to render bene ficial service to humanity.
