TO MEET NEXT FRIDAY The monthly meeting of the Men of the Church of the Aberdeen Pres byterian Church will be held next Friday night, Januarj?' 25th at the us ual time. HERE MONDAY QeojK^e Speai^s You are invited to the exTiibi- tion and free lessons in billiards to be given by George Spears at 8 o’clock Monday evening, Jan uary 21st in Straka’s Billiard Parlors, East Broad Street, Southern Pines. By D. H. Ives Consisting of modern and commo dious buildings, with ample acreage pleasantly situated, Samarcand Man or has nothing about it to .<»uggest a >enal institution, nor is it such, though widespread opinion seems to have so classified it. What then is Samarcand? Primar ily it is a place where under-privileg ed girls and those with unfortunate home situations who have come un der court jurisdiction may receive un der well-trained leadership such in struction as may fit them to take their rightful places in our social or der; and w'hile the material equip ment is, perhaps, not all that might be desired, it is well adapted to the present need. In addition to the various dormitor. ies, there is the general administra tion building, a modem school build ing, chapel, hospital, and superin tendent's home. Playgrounds and a little lake provide year-round recrea tional facilities. The large tract of land on which the school is located makes possible the production of many necessities which otherwise would have to be purchased at consid erable expense. Farm and dairy me thods, household and industrial arts, as well as the regxilar school activi ties, are provided as helpful adjuncts to a carefully planned program of so cial development. Making Useful Cltiieens The major interests in this insti tution center around- the individual. To quote Misa Gracfe Robson, the present superintendent, "Special ef fort is made to prepare the child for the more difficult adjustment to life on her return home. She is taught to become a useful citizen and not just to be a good child in daily institu tional routine.” To attain this end the cooperation and interest of all the workers is sought in an effort to bring to these children at least a sub stitute for the security which they lacked in their home situations, and to assist them in the development of self-control and self-determination. In fact, all training and treatment in this institution organizes its efforts toward the preparation of tlieoe chil dren for successfully meeting life's duties and responsibilities. The achievement of this Is sought through what we may call a prog ram of re-education. New ideals and new attitudes are substituted for the child’s old ideas and former train ing. The actual method is by “Classi fication Procedure,” the major prin ciple of which is the immediate prep aration of the child for return to nor mal family life and later self-main tenance in any community. This pro cedure is based on good social case work practice, and consists In general of three phases: First, diagnosis, in which the child is under observation, and the opinions of all contacting workers are correlated in setting up goals for attainment. The second phase, or treatment, seeks to help the child attain the goals set and to prepare the community for the child’s return. The last is parole, which con sists of a pre-parole review to deter mine eligibility; a check on social at titudes, education and general pro gress, and then giving assistance in the readjustments necessary during the parole period. Unfortunately, this brief summary can hardly give the reader an adequate %'ew of^ the comprehensive program of social de velopment which is undertaken. Spiritual Welfare While caring for the physical and intellectual needs, the spiritual wel fare of the Samarcand girls is not neglected. Sunday-school is conducted regularly, and ministers of several denominations conduct worship ser vices in rotation. For a number of years Baptists have provided the Bi ble school literature, though other re ligious groups have also contributed various periodicals. A more attentive and interested congregation could hardly be found than these girls dur ing the worship hours. For more than a year there have been several pro fessions of faith iu Christ each month, all having come on their own initiative. It has been the writer’s privilege to baptize over forty of these girls and there )B.re now, at t|iis writing, forty more awaiting the or dinance. The question is frequently asked, “Are not these girls infected with so cial diseases?” In answer we are frank to say that some of them are, but it is reasonably certain that the percentage of those so afflicted is hardly more than would be found in a cross-section of the same social strat. um anywhere in our State. Further more, at Samarcand all are under expert medical care and the most ad vanced remedial practice is utilized PINEHURST Misses Louise and Margaret Law rence of Hamlet were guests on Sun day of their sister, Mrs. Clarence Thomas.

The outstanding business transacted at this meeting was the passing of a motion giving each teacher the privilege of buying need ed supplies and supplementary read ers up to the amount of five dollars. Resolutions were drawn to be pre sented to our representative, urging support of legislation regarding schools as proposed by the State Sup erintendent of Public Instruction. Miss Cross invited any patrons of the school to visit the cafeteria where, under her supervision, about 70 chil dren are served hot lunch each noon. An interesting and instructive pro gram with teachers in charge was given. E. C.

BOYS’ CLUB ORGANIZATION MEETING SATURDAY NIGHT for the amelioration of their condi tion. For this reason, they are far less a social menace than many in dividuals in local communities. It would be hard to find a happier look ing, healthier group of children any where than you may see at Samar cand, and with the training there re ceived, most of them will make use ful citizens wherever they go. It is ours to see that no reproach is brought upon these who, often through no fault of theirs, have had institu tional care. We would not conclude without spe cial tribute to the late Dr. Delia Dix- on-Carroll, whose pioneering efforts and unremiting labor made Samar cand Manor a reality; to the past and present directors for their pro gressive attitude, and to Miss Grace M. Robson, its present superintendent, for her Interest In the individual wel fare and development of all under her charge. Whatever your opinion of Samar cand may be at prssent, you cannot visit the school and see what is be ing done there without griving thanks for the institution and its splendid work in behalf of the unfortunate and underprivileged.
