Rook Hill. October 26:?How ! <
would the readers of The County t
Record like to hear what is do- z
ing at Winthrop Normal and t
m Industrial College? Every per- t
r son in the State of South Caro- s
^lina should be proud of this ex- j
\celient institution and feel that
they have an interest in it, for <
the great work it is doing for t
the young women of South Caro- a
lina can nex'er be estimated. j
Just think of it! There were t
1,162 applications for entrance o
here, 115 of them having come
in since the college opened, and c
yet only about five hundred f
could be admitted. However, t
provision is being made to take!
in about two hundred more. A ;,
large new dormitory is now be- j j

I President 1). B. Johnson sail- t
ed from New York October 17 j
' on his way to Europe, where \2
he has gone to study higher
education for women. This is
for the benefit of Winthrop and
he hopes to bring back with
him all the latest improvements ^
for the higher normal and in- f
dustnal studies. Before he left, n
it was promised that on the a
Sunday night that he was out t
on the ocean, the student body t
would sing his fovorite song, c
"Nearer, my God, to Thee." It v
was with a feeling of sadness e
that it was done. Wofford has v
its Carlisle and Winthrop has j
its Johnson. Indeed, too much ^
cannot be said in praise of this ^
noble and efficient man who is ^
^evoting his life to the educa- ^
-Jon of the young women of ^
South Carolina. ^
Last Monday night, the Schu- u
bert String Quartette of Boston ^
presented the tirst number of J
the Star course, which has been i
^u-ranged for this session ofjc
^Rvinthrop College. The music i
Wwas of a high order and much g
* enjoyed. The Star course consists
of a series of lectures and
concerts. a
