Book reviews for
medical auxiliary
Mrs. Ralph P. Baker presented a
review of the book, “History of
Medicine in South Carolina 1670-
1825” at the March meeting of
the Woman’s Auxiliary to the
Newberry County Medical So
ciety. The meeting was at the
home of Mrs. Gurnie Summer with
Mrs. Sydney Carter as hostess.
The book reviewed by Mrs. Ba
ker was written by Dr. Joseph
Waring. The main narrative re
lates chiefly to the history of di
sease, of medical practice, and of
professional activities in Charles
ton. A summary of Mrs. Baker’s
report follows:
“The first thirty years, the
struggling Carolina colony did not
contribute much to the develop
ment of medicine in America. In
the 18th century there began to
be many scientific advances in the
state.
“South Carolina medicine during
the Revolutionary period is treat
ed in some detail. The population
at that time was listed as 45,000
white people and 80,000 Negroes.
Charleston was the center of ac
tivity, exceeded in size by only
Boston, New York and Philadel
phia.
“The Medical Society of S. C.
was organized on Christmas Eve
in 1789. The fee schedules listed
in the minutes were published in
pounds, shillings, and guineas un
til 1813. Some of these early fees
were, for a visit in the day, five
shillings; for a requested visit af
ter dark, ten shillings; for a rising
out of bed and visiting according
to the weather and other circum
stances, from one to two pounds.
Fee schedules beginning in 1813
were given in dollars and cents.
“In April 1825 the first class
was graduated from the Medical
College. This class consisted of
five students. By this time the
state had several hospitals and
surgery was being performed by
several doctors. The medical pro
fession had produced many writ
ers who made contributions to
journals of note here and abroad.”
It is reported that Dr. Waring
at the present time is working on
another book, “The History of
Medicine from 1825 to Present.”
Mrs. Baker was thanked for her
interesting program. During the
business meeting, presided over
by Mrs. Kemper Lake, president,
it was decided to present a copy of
this book to Newberry College in
honor of the doctors of Newberry
County on Doctor’s Day.
Several of the Auxiliary mem
bers are planning to go to Co
lumbia for the Health Careers
Rally.
The Auxiliary is planning the
April meeting at Whitten Village
in Clinton. Each member is asked
to bring a toy to be given to the
children there.
A delicious luncheon was served
at the conclusion of the meeting.
College teacher
workshop held
A workshop for supervising
teachers connected with the spring
student teaching program at New*
berry College was held at the Col
lege recently.
Supervising teachers represent
two elementary schools, Boundary
Street and Speers Street in New
berry, two junior high schools,
Greenwood and Newberry, and
seven high schools, Newberry,
Mid-Carolina, Saluda, Lower Rich
land, Chapin, Whitmire and Irmo.
During the opening session of
the workshop Dr. James F. Cum
mings, head of the Department of
Education and Psychology, led
discussions on “Authority and
Responsibility,” “Utilization of
the Student Teacher,” and “The
Extended Student Teacher Pro
gram.” John A. Whitacre, assist
ant professor of education, dis
cussed the subject “Purpose of
Student Teaching.”
Following the opening session,
elementary and secondary teach
ers met in separate groups. Dr.
Margaret Buckley, associate pro
fessor of elementary education,
presided over the elementary pro
gram; and Dr. Cummings was in
charge of the secondary program.
Dr. A. G. D. Wiles, president of
the college, extended a welcome to
the group.
Wise lectures
on Debussy
Debussy and Ravel were the
composers studied by the Newber
ry Music club on March 9 at a
meeting held at the home of Mrs.
Dave Sokevitz. Prof. Darr Wise
was leader of the program. Asso
ciate hostesses were Miss Mary
Elizabeth Fowder, Mrs. Roy Tn-
derson, and Mrs. J. E. Wiseman.
Mr. Wise began with some gen
eral comments on impressionism
and indicated that the movement,
which was chiefly French, was
evident in all the arts. Artists
were seeking new and fresh ma
terial. In music, Debussy was
known as the High Priest of Im
pressionism. Some of his inno
vations were the pentatonic scale,
the whole-tone scale, organum,
gliding chords, and addednote
chords. The pentatonic scale he
heard for the first time at the
World’s Fair in Paris; it was be
ing used by a group of Javanese
musicians. The whole-tone scale
reminded Debussy of the sound of
running water. Mr. Wise demon
strated these effects on the piano
and called attention to the many
works of Debussy inspired by wa
ter.
Organum Debussy borrowed
from early church music. The add-
ed-note chords were demonstrated
by Mr. Wise—an added second
chordand an added sixth. The
speaker also pointed out that
with the music of Debussy there
was the beginning or breakdown
of tonal harmony. Mr. Wise’s final
demonstration was of Debussy’
exploitation of the extreme regis
ters of the piano. He then intro
duced four of his students who
performed for the enjoyment of
the club members.
Bill Wheeler played a Debussy
Prelude, “La Puerta Del Vino,”
which was inspired by a post card
which the artist had received from
a friend traveling in Spain. Carol
Armfield played a Prelude from
Suite for Piano. To illustrate the
works of Ravel who, Mr. Wise
said, wrote in the same idiom but
was a little more of a classicist,
Whetsell McDaniel played the
First Movement of Sonatine.
Jimmy Calk played “Reflets
dans L’Eau“ by Debussy, and Bill
Wheeler concluded the program
with Debussy’s “Les Collines
d’Anacapri.”
Mrs. Hope Wilson, president,
presided. She welcomed four new
members to the Club—Mrs. A1
Busby, Mrs. F. D. Cortner, and
Mrs. Charles Dukes.
J. D. French gave a report of
the progress of the committee on
securing a new piano for Com
munity Hall. It was noted that
Mrs. Hart Jordan’s name had been
omitted from the names of the
committee members. Mr. French
reminded the members to turn
ever any contributions to Charles
Dukes.
Mrs. Sokevitz reported that the
former Harriet Dickert of New
berry would be performing with
the Charlotte Oratorio Society on
Saturday, May 1, in the Bach
Mass in B Minor. Miss Julie Ham-
iter invited the club members to
the piano concert in Holland Hall
on March 19.
