TWENTY WERE PRESENT Many Subjects Were Taken Up and Discussed and All Who Participated Were r(Jreatly Benefitted. Mrs. R. E. Wylie, who attended the ten-day course for club women at Winthrop, has written the following descriptive story to The Lancaster News: ^ The ten-day course of study for a cluli women offered by Winthrop college was formally opened with an address of welcome to the members by ITesident !). 1$. Johnson, Tuesday morning, July 'J. The response in behalf of the club women was made by Mrs. Leroy Springs, president of the South Carolina Federation of clubs. About twenty members were in attendance for part or all of the session, and most enthusiastically they pursued the study of the various subjects offered. Mrs. J E. Ellerbee, vice-president of the Federation, was its official representative, always ready to render advice or assistance. Miss Leila A Russell, chairman of committee in charge, was cordially attentive* to all the various demands exacted by her p!)SSt!OP Among the courses offered were physical education, including games | and swimming, lectures on agriculture, especially the home garden and Ean English course by Professor Brown. Education, in several phases, was considered by Professor Magginis, r Professor Thompson and Miss lliil. t Pr. Walmsley's history class and Professor Kvans' geography studios' wore of special interest as tltoy dwelt , much on tho countries which are the \ centres of the present war. Miss I telle Williams, the enthusl^ astic teacher of birtl life and habits, | was accompanied each morning by a , party in a stroll around the campus I learning at Ilrst hand much of tho ^ habits of our native birds. V Misses Putin ami Satterhite \ among the subjects taught, gave val\ liable suggestions ;ts to tasteful intol rior decorations and dress designing. I Professor Thomas' talks on the chemistry of foods and nutrition, were fittingly followed by Miss tCoith's instruction in domestic sci,'ence Most of the members felt the J need of this teaching, especially thoj ' , lessons' on wheat and meat substi,4 tutes aud economical use of sugar. The class in public speaking con (1 ucted by Miss Crane was of interest j to those who atended. Parliamen-i tar.v law, so ably taught by Mrs. Km-! ma A. Fox, was eagerly studied by quite a number, realizing the need of order and system in conducting the various women's organizations. The practical talks on home nursing by Miss McKenna were always Instructive and many notes were tak-j en by members for future use, as we realized the importance of Intelligent nursing in the home when the trained helpers are so needed for war service Miss Jean Latimer fully explained the many activities of the He,? Cross home service awakening much interest in this important depart- , nient. Dr. Thomas' illustrated le<lure on the cities of the middle west and Yellowstone park was a much enjoyed featuie. Many of the club women attended Miss lleyward's classes in surgical dressings, being anxious for instruc tion in the latest methods of making these much needed lied Cross supnliOH The swimming pool was a favor- j .
