GIRL OF TODAY IS
AS GOOD AS EVER
Dr. Jackson Says That N. C. C.
Girls Are More Independ-ent!
Than Formerly.
FACULTY HAS CHANGED
'•flirts of today are Just as good ai
they ever were, if not better." so says
I>r. \V. C. Jackson, vice-president of
North Carolina Collear. During the
past 20 years that Dr. Jackson baa
been here, he has noticed the greatest
change among the student body in that
the present one has more "Independ-ence
and self-reliance." It seems that
the girl of today la more ready to ■ h>'
lenge the Instructor's word, not dis-respectfully.
th:m aver In-fore. In dls-
;--i- L- this topic. Dr. Jackson stated
that more work ami N-tler preparations
■ran ri-iuiml of the Itarlatt by the
students now. The present student
tiody has an evidence of a wider ex-perlance
end aaeaai to i*1 "IM-MIT a<--
qualnted witij tba arorld."
Dr. JaekathO (Uakl that "the student
lw-ly il<n's not givo :is much attention
to the form of religion now. hut Is just
ns sound In character nevertheless."
In discussing the tir^r change, tlicre

teachers have n belter foundation for
teaching now than they did 20 years
ago.
Perhaps the.greatest change Is that
the faculty is chosen from nil over
the Itiltod States and also from acrosa

Scout Camp to Arrange

PLAN FOR ANTIQUE TEA
The Y. W. C. A. cabinet held its fall
training retreat Sunday, September 23,
at the Greeasboro Girl Scout eamp in
Gibaonville.
The meeting opened wilh a brief de
votional led by Betsy Dupuy. Fol-lowing
this, Misa Lucy Cherry Crisp
opened the formal discussion for the
morning period. Her talk waa cen
tered around the ideas that there are
certain fundamental needs on this cam-pus
and as cabinet members each
should try to fit herself for the task
at hand.
Each one offered -nggestions as to
how her particular department might
help to fill tin- campus needs. Plans
made at that time were hobby groups
in which there, will bo something to
appeal to everyone on campus, an aa
sociation banquet to which all members
of the organization will be invited,
ErMfassaa and transfer teas, and an
antique toa which was formerly a eol-
UfSj lr:i«litii-n.
The afternoon program started with
ional talk led by Elizabeth
Yatea, aud the dinciission of the morn-ing
waa continued until the close of
thf mei'tirifc'.
Thosr caluiH't Btabtai attending
were Mary Woodward, Marion MarDow-

Even-tt. Mary Brantley, Susan White,
M.aaheth Yatea, Gladys Black, BUsaV

Boylnn. Willa Towne. Mary Ty-ler
and Miss Lucy Cherry Crisp.
Early Belief Is That Girl
Has Only One Ability
I-oss than n century ago. the conven-tions
of society aud the educational
sysloin held fast to the old Idea that
lielng a woman In Itself limited the
dualities of the mind. It was gen-erally
hellensl and accepted that a girl
had no abilities for a carper other than
as housewife : and there was no ni'ed for
training In that, exi-ept to learn hy
aelunl experience how lo do Ihings eco-nomically
air! well so ns to contribute
more largely to the comforts of her
husband and his family, roar his sons
who Mould liecome the irt-w leaders. Ids
daughters, who In their turns would
make other families comfortable.
"Truly, the borne was man's castle—
woman's domicile."
Many "could not see the wood for
tlie trees" (hough here and there were
persons of true vision. Dr. Charles D.
.Mclver. I lie founder of our college, was
such a iicrsou, and through his vision
lie saw much that has happenisi during
recent years. At first everyone was
ris|uired to take cooking and sewing.
Gradually new courses were Introduced
which were not at llrst popular: how-ever,
the prejudices on campus were
overcome, hut the prejudices in South-ern
homes where servnnla and slaves
had been the custom presented a much
more dllncult problem. The criticisms
were that cooking and sewing could
be tnught at home. The untrained, of
course, could not visualize that behind
c.siklng lay the science of longer life,
and batdnd the term sewing lay an op-
I'.rlunit.v to develop an artistic taste In
many lines of art. It was at this time
that Dr. Mclver conceived the Idea of
employing a modiste whose business It
was to develop uood taate, not only
among the pupils but the public at
large, and to encourage the growth of
the department. Many gowns made
under her supervision were sent out
into the different states, even as far as
Michigan. This work overcame to a
large extent "the idea of cooking and
sewing at home."
In 1910 the first bulletin ever sent
out by the college wns on foods, their
It'Iiration, core, and economy. This
niso ilevelo|K>d a dcidre among the pa-trons
of the state for training. In 1911.
artists iran hired to remodel an old
house nnd to make It into a training
cottage or n home management house,
as we now call it. The department
continued to grow under the direction
of Miss Minnie Jamison, who was then
nt the head. It was during that time
that the china which we are now using
wns purchased, fjitor Miss Jamison
was sent out Into the stale as an all-linic
worker to help the fannfolk make
their homes more attractive and com-fortable.
Today IM still hear paopbl
i|tioting certain of her recipes.

College Customs
Interest Students
Traditions! Every college has
them, and TV. C. V. N. C. la not
lacking in fine ones that slmtilil he
kept up so that they may IK- handed
down Intact to future student*.
Many of them date from the found-ing
of the college and express the
Ideas of the beloved Dr. Chnrlea
Duncan Mclver, the nr»t president.
The custom of wearing white on
Founder's Day originated because of
his desire to see the students d reawed
In white. lie said. "Wear all the
white dresses you wish, l'ut a pre-mium
on cleanliness."
Another habit orlginntetl by Dr.
M.-lver was the habit of using tlie
walks instead of the grass. About
that he said, "The campus Is yours.
It will some day In- ymir children's.
Make and keep It in-nutiful for
them."
OtlaW sayings attributed to the
first president are: "900 times 0 Is
nothing. .VM> times a little noise is a
great noise." "Keep t«> the right and
there will be fewrr wreck*. In-close
the door Is a mark of civiliza-tion."
"Not a spoken word after
entering the i'ha;i*i f<ir prayers."
Miss H<*ldie, presi-m head of the
Latin department, add<-d this r\.cl-ient
bit of council: "Throw nothing
from the windows—not even your

Perhaps the wisest bit of advice
given by. Dr. Mclv.-r Is. "He that
