CHARLOTTE TEACHERS
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
EXTENSION WORK.
The Extension Course of
Johnson C. Smith University
began Wednesday with an en
rollment of sixty-nine teachers.
The large enrollment is indica
tive of a progressive and pro
fessional spirit among the teach
ers of Charlotte.
As a result of the extension
work in the Negro schools of
North Carolina last year 313
teachers received credit equal
to the credit of one summer
school session. Of this number
there were 27 Charlotte teach
ers. The State Department of
Education is eager to increase
the number of standard certifi
cates among the 5,037 Negro
teachers of the State. We are
forced to commend the act of
the Charlotte teachers this year
when we learn that only 53.19
per cent of North Carolina
teachers hold standard certi
ficates.
The teachers will study Cub
berley’s text-book on the ^‘Intro
duction to Education/’ under
the direction of Mr. T. S. Jack
son, professor of education.
JOHNSON C SMITH UNI
VERSITY NOTES.
By A. H. Prince, Theo. *27.
Vespers last Saturday and,
Sunday evenings were conduct-j
ed by Dr. W. E. Partee. Thej
strong messages of these ser
vices embodied the profound
truth that God is sovereign of
all in the world- We were ad
monished to keep ourselves in
His love.
Mr. Frank T. Wilson, secre
tary of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association, was a pleasant
visitor to us last Wednesday
morning and made a very in
teresting address after chapel
devotions. Tire great message
was a real challenge to the stu
dent generation of today to mo
bilize its forces for the great
task oi evangelizing the world
for Christ.
me game oi iooiDaii Deiween
Virginia Seminary and us here
last Friday was the first game
of the season. It seemed that
each team realized that the
eyes of its school were upon it
and it could not lose. The game
was 0-0. It was an exceptionally
good game. The next game
will be with Howard University,
Washington, D. C., on October
17. All hopes are for a real
gafhe in the Capitol city for our
first time.
Mr. Arthur Scott, of the
Sophomore class, has returned
from his home, Blackstock, S.
C., where he was recently called
on account of the death of his
mother.
Mr. James Young, of the
Freshman class, was called to
his home in Wake Forest last
Sunday on account of the death
of his brother.
The first publication, for the
school year of “The University,
Student,” published by the col
lege students of the Universi
ty, was issued last Wednesday
and shows quite an improve
ment in its size and materials
over the previous issues. It is
hoped that all who would like
to keep in close contact with
the school and its doings will
subscribe to this paper, “The
University Student.” The price
is one dollar for the school
year.
The writer, A. H. Prince, has
returned to the campus from
his home in Sumter County, S.
C., where he was called recently
to the bedside of his father who
has suffered with a stroke of
paralysis and is seriously af
flicted at this time.
Dr. Yorke Jones, D. A. Cost
ner and J. R. Dungee, Jr., at
tended the North Carolina Field
Council of the Young Men’s
Christian Association, which
met at Shaw University, Ra
leigh, last week. Mr. Dungee
is a member of the National
Council and is to represent the
Association at a Conference to
be held in Washington, D. C.,
October 27-30th.
Up to date there are some
thing over three hundred stu
dents in the University, and the
enrollment in the college far
surpasses all previous records.
The enrollment of the Fresh
man class alone almost equals
that of many of our secondary
schools in the South, -and is far
above the usual enrollment of
this class in the school.

ANNUAL HOME-COMING AT
EMANUEL CHURCH
Sunday, October 11, 2:30 P. M.
BARBER MEMORIAL COL
LEGE NEWS.
By Myrtle A. Brodie, ’29.
On Tuesday morning, Sept.
15, Barber Memorial College
threw open her doors to the
coming of a host of girls. Her
doors were not thrown open in
vain, for by the end of that
week the building was overflow
ing with girls. Girls came
from all parts of the State—
girls with high ideals, girls with
broad visions, enthusiastic
ones, and girls eager for knowl
edge—just all kinds of girls
who help to make up a grand
college.
On the night following the
opening of the school on intro
duction of our most highly hon
ored faculty was given.
Saturday night, September
19, was quite delightful- An ex
cellent musical programme was
rendered by a number of our
teachers and students. The mu
sical talent of each was shown
to a great extent.
Sunday evening, Sept. 20, as
the sun was sinking behind the
western horizon with the mag
nificent mountains scalloping
the sky, chimes were heard
seemingly bringing to our
minds that “The heavens de
clare the glory of God and the
firmament showeth his handi
work.” We assembled on our
spacious campus for vesper ser
vices, which were conducted by
Miss Mabel Smith. The talk
given by Miss Smith was quite
impressive. With the pictur
esque mountains before us, she
vividly brough to our minds the
beauty and fulness of this sen
tence ..prayer, “Lord, give us
mountains to climb ag£,
strength to climb them.” ^ She,
told us of the mountains I qf- life
which faced us anda'dhe urged
each of us to clihifo'them brave
ly. Our melodies,Which"' were
sung by the girls at that time,
were heard in the distance as
the evening died away.
Miss Kinniburgh, our es
teemed dean, gave a surprise
partly for the college students
on Monday night, September
21, It was of great delight. Of
course the girls did not leave
any of the refreshments for
fear that they would go to
waste.
The Sophomore and Fresh
man classes, under the superviss
ion of Misses Dorothy Kinni
burgh and Ruth Simch, went on
a hike around Sunset Drive
Thursday evening, September
24.. The hike was very inspi
rational, for as we ascended this
mountain which required one to
have courage and strength, we
thought of the great! rugged
mountain of life that is climbed
by those who strive to reach the
summit.
Eight select voices have been
chosen from the college depart
ment to render music Sunday at
the Presbyterian (^huixh, of
which Rev A. W. Rice is pas
tor. The faculty and students
of the college and high school
departments worshipped with
Rev. Rice, and his congregation
on Sqnjlay, September 27. Rev.
Rive delivered a glorious ser
mon from John 1:41.
On Sunday, evening at four
o’clock Madqm Bayon and her
choral club rendered a musical
concert fyere in the school chap
el. Space will not allow me to
give this programme; neverthe
less special mention may be
made of the following pieces:
“Listen to the Lambs,” “Tos
ti, Good Bye,” “Humoreske,”
“I Couldn’t Hear Nobody
Pray.”
Madam Bayon is to be highly
commended for the excellent
work that she is accomplishing
and for the musical talent that
she exhibited. The. outlook for
the club is great. .
On Monday night, September
28, in mempry of. Frances E.
Willard’s birthday a W. C. T. U.
programme was given by the
Seniors of the High School De
partment, after ^which Barber
had her annual house opening.
The building ;was inspected by
many friends and outsiders. A
punch course was served at the
end of :the affair.
Dr. and Mrs. Scherer, our be
loved President and his wife,
are doing all in their power to
make things as pleasant around
the school as possible. We as
students appreciate this much.
The prospect for Barber this
year is indeed bright, and t|y
the aid of our dedh and compet
ent5 teachers much is expected
to be accomplished and will be
accomplished. .
LISTEN!
to the voice of nature. If
it were not for pain, our
bodies could be destroyed
without our knowiedgp.
Pain is a friendly warning
that, something is wrbng.
If, in disease yon silence this
warning by deadening the
pain, you have not corrected
the cause, but you have tak
en away nature’sidanger sig
nal.
CHIROPRACTIC
is a science—not of deaden
ening pain but of correcting
the cause that produces
pain.
