The program begins July first. 390 students have been assigned to Newberry. Eighty per cent of , these young men will be trans fers from other colleges to con tinue their college courses here. The others will be freshmen. The military features of this program will be definitely subor dinated to the academic. The College authorities will have complete control of such matters as selecting te'its, conducting classes, giving examinations, de termining academic eligibility, etc. Many of the civilian stu dents will attend classes with the naval trainees. The purpose of the V-12 curriculum is to pro vide college education for pros pective officers in the Navy. Therefore, there will be no in terruption of the regular college work. Ample .provision will be made to take care of all civilian students. The College will con tinue to offer the regular courses as heretofore. $50.00 a month and his subsis tence. He will be in uniform. The Government will pay all costs of instruction. The stu dents, of course, will be under navy discipline. The trainees will occupy quar ters in the men’s dormitory and in Smeltzer Hall. Women board ing students will reside in Carne gie Hall, Which has recently been remodeled to provide very attrac tive and comfortable accomoda- tionsi for them. The College will now operate on a full twelve-months’ basis to conform the navy program. This new system will enable the Col lege to help meet the critical shortage of trained men and women in the various vocations. The Government is murging that educational processes be acceler ated as much a® possible for this purpose. The calendar year will be divided into three terms of six teen weeks each, beginning July 1, November 1 and March 1. A Freshman who enters College on July 1st will receive his degree within less -than three years. The Each naval trainee will receive new schedule means that the Col lege probably will have hereafter several commencement seasons a year as students graduate. A high school graduate under 17 may enroll for the V-12 course if he is academically eligible and When he becomes of age may take the navyt ests. If he is ac cepted it is possible for him then to be enlisted as a naval trainee with advanced' standing. This enables him to secure his commission more quickly in the April tests but are not being as signed to active duty until the November term. It is expected that many of the naval students will be per mitted to remain at Newberry more than one term, some of them to graduate. Two such terms are equivalent to one full college year. A pamphlet describing the new academic set-up is in press and may be had upon application to the College.

Bailey, , Field Worker for the Florence Crittenton Home was in Newberry this week in interest of the home in Charleston. Mrs. Bailey said that due to the in flux of new people in Charleston the home was sorely taxed to meet the demands upon it. Crittenton Homes operate nationally and take care of girls who make their first mistake; they do not operate the home for habitual offenders of the moral law. Anyone careing to make a contri bution to the home should address it to Florence Crittenton Home, 19 St. Margaret Street, Charleston, S. C. Below is a few facts about services of this nationally known home for unwed mothers and thdir babies. “The Florence Orittemfon Home in South ■Carolina was established in Charleston in October 1899, through the efforts of the Christlove Mission of the King’s Daughters with the personal assistance of Mr. Charles N. Crittenton, national founder of the work. It is one of the 64 Florence Crittenton Homes in the United States. The home in Charles ton is chartered under the State of South Carolina and i® governed by a board of directors representing a wide field of religious and civic in terests. Purpose of The Home To shelter and care for the un married mother and her child; to give her understanding, friendship and guidance; to provide her with pre-natal care, hospitalization, train ing in baby care and to cooperate to the fullest with local or state agen cies interested in securing the best possible adjustment for the girl and her baby when they are ready to leave the home. Admission To The Home All admissions, inquiries and re ports are confidential and in charge of the superintendent. No South Carolina girl facing motherhood for the first time, whose health reports are satisfactory, is refused admission because of her inability to pay the entrance fee. A contribution in any amount, mailed to the home will mean that you are helping some South Caro lina girl to*again take her place in the life of the state. _ MISS McCAUGHRIN IN COLUM BIA HOSPITAL The many friends of Miss Fannie McCaughrin wil be pleastd to learn that she is doing nicely in the Co lumbia Hospital, where she entered last week for ten days treatment.
