the states and countries from which

of students for independent state
clubs.

a stronger and more explicit desire to
go forth in a Christian mission.
The religious activities of the col
lege church are well organized and in
some respects are state leaders. They
are divided into the following groups:
the Sunday School department, which
is made up of ten classes consisting
wholly of college students; the B. Y.
P. U., which holds several state
honors, is divided into ten unions, all
of which are A-1; the Y. W. A., en
listing practically all the dormitory
girls, and having a marked effect on
the lives which it touches; the Minis
terial Conference, in which the minis
terial students meet to discuss their
problems and receive training for
their future work; and the Volunteer
Band, which is composed of a large
group of young men and women, who
are preparing their lives for definite
Christian service. All of these relig
ious organizations are members of the
general B. S. U. organization.

A traveler on the Dixie Highway
expressed his opinion of the Monta
gue Library in these words, “One of
the most picturesque libraries in the
United States is located on the Dixie
Highway at Mars Hill College, Mars
Hill, North Carolina.” The building
is the gift of Col. H. Montague of
Winston-Salem^ a memorial to his
wife, Estella Nissen Montague. It is
a fire-proof structure of stones and
bowlders from the surrounding moun
tains.
Through the years of progress and
growth in the college the book col
lection has been enlarged and the
building has been adapted for the pur
pose of furnishing the best library
service possible. At present the limit
of its capacity for accomodating read
ers and shelving books has almost
been reached. But the fine spirit of
cooperation among both faculty and
students helps obviate the difficulties
of an over-crowded building.
The Library facilities are grouped
around three types of service. The
Reference work is carried on in the
west end of the building on the main
floor. Here are shelved more than
flve hundred volumes consisting large
ly of encyclopedias yearbooks, dic
tionaries, atlases, etc.
The Reading Room is located in
the east end of the building. Here
are found the daily papers and period
icals—about seventy-five titles in all.
These cover practically every field of
interest represented in the various
college departments together with
many which are largely recreation.
It is in the Reading Room that the at
tendance record of the Library is
kept. The average daily attendance
is slightly over two hundred and fifty.
The general stacks from which
books are circulated are located in
the balcony. The books here are ar
ranged according to the Dewey De
cimal Classification. The book col
lection approximates eight thousand
volumes. Something like one fourth
of these, however, have to be shelved
in an adjoining building. The books
in special demand by classes and
groups are placed on reserve in the

This is the first year Mars Hill
has offered an accredited course in
Home Economics. However, with
the well-trained and capable teach
er, whose aim is to make the course
both practical and inspiring, there is
much progress to be expected. The
trustees and officers of the college
have foreseen the great need for wo
men trained in home economics. The
hope of the college is to do its part
in meeting these demands.
“It is not an exaggeration to state
that at the present time training in
home economics offers to young wo
men a wider range of vocational op
portunities and better chances for
successful and satisfying vocational
expression than can be found in any
other single field of knowledge,” says
Flora Rose, director, New York State
College of Economics.
In no other phase of home econom
ics do we, as women, have such a
fine opportunity to make use of our
advantage as we do in home-making.
We cannot hope to lift North Caro
lina higher than her homes. We can
not expect to lift our homes higher
than our womanhood. Neither can
we expect to lift womanhood to her
best in the highest call to woman,
home-making, without the best train
ing in this line.
Furthermore, home economics of
fers to the girl who is professionally
inclined the greatest opportunities in
a field where she does not have to
compete with men for position and
salary. For those who would teach
the field is open in high schools and
junior and senior colleges. Research
work in this field is rapidly gaining
ground as an important vocational ac
tivity. Then there is extension work,
commercial demonstration, experi
mental work, institution management,
social service, radio speaking, which
are all very interesting fields of ser
vice. Perhaps the most interesting
field, which is very much in demand
in the South at present, is that of
dietetics.
At present our home economics de
partment at Mars Hill includes only
a six-hour course in textiles and
clothing. However, a seven-hour
course in foods and cookery is be
ing added to the department so that
by opening of school, September 6,
the college will be able to offer the
first two years of a regular home
economics course preparatory to en
trance in the junior year of any of
our southern colleges offering the
home economics course. It is our
hope to offer in the near future a
two-year course in home-maker s ed
ucation, giving the greater part of
j training to those subjects necessary

more than two hundred volumes.
The Library Staff is composed of
two faculty members and several
student assistants.
In looking forward to 1932-33 one
project, not yet fully worked out but
in process of planning, is a brief,
systematic course of instruction in
the use of books and libraries for
each student. Such a course would
give efficiency and independence to
students in their everyday use of the
Library.
Another plan for 1932-33 is the
formation of a Student Library Com
mittee. The general work of this
committee would be to represent the
student body in making plans to help
the Library meet the needs of the
students and to encourage the use of
the Library for recreational pur
poses. This last item might include
such tasks as providing a sum to be
used in the purchase of books re
commended by students. This com
mittee might also help create a senti
ment on the Campus against van
dalism in the Library.
Certainly no department of the
college has a finer opportunity to
render service of lasting value and
a better chance to encourage whole
some and enjoyable habits for leisure
and recreational time than has the
Library
