? TEN DAY COURSE AT
( WINTHROPCOLLEGE
Club Women Enjoy Interesting
and Instructive Entertainment
at Rock Hill.
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
