Club Women Bummer School el Kock
Mill.
Editor of The Doily Item:
J feel that only lack of Informa?
tion concerning the many advantages
to be found al Winthrop during 111* -
club women's course kept the attend?
ance from being ns full as It deserv ? I
und as we desired. Every woman
Should know what this course is, ami
what a delightful program of social,
educational and Inspirational features
is to ho found there, and so i ash
that you publish the cmios< d letter oi
Mrs. Ellerbe, which tells of what
timse who sought, found ;it Winthrop.
This opportunity is open to ans
woman who wishes to avail herself ot
?, without regard to membership in
any woman's organisation.
Edith M. DeLorme.
Why shouldn't there be 100 club
women at Winthrop this week in
stead oi 20'.'
Cut should even the busiest woman
spend me- day at Winthrop now, she
I would realise how much could be
learned there, that would solve prob?
lems of war work, of home mans go
menl In Which she i : most interested,
in a way which would mean conser?
vation of time here after- to repay her
tor tin- two weeks in Which she wa ?
it arning.
Every wonAn in South Carolina
should visit Winthrop, beeaues it is
her ."trite college for women and he
I cause in its sise ami equipment it Is
a revelation to one who has not real
Ized its rapid development. The big
beautiful campUs Is in itself a com
plete surprise t?? those who remembei
how few years it has been since the
landscape architect began his trans?
formation Of the hau? fields which
surrounded the now college.
Evi rything was in readiness in the
dormitorh a for the club women on the
evening of the 8th. Those who hav?
nhosi n to spend their vacation trust?
ing to Uncertain accommodations oi
the average mountain or seashore ho
tel should BOS the hi?: airy rooms, tin
spotless linen and the big hath tuh:
with plenty of hot water which we are
enjoying here. Tin y should see the
great dining room and taste the real
milk .-.ml butter furnished by Win
throp's prise herd of Jersey's. If you
?ire seeking physical comfort, sorely
you can hud it lu re. bui Instead o*
the rocking chairs and eternal fancy
work of the summer hotel, you will
lie given an opportunity to learn
What?
\\eii, the thing you mosf wish
know. An- you interested in Red tTos^
[ wank'.' Miss Catherllne Ney ward wll
give you a thorough course in making
: urglcal dressings ami a?ss Jeane
Ultimer will instruct you in the work
i of the home service deportment.
Do you feel the seriousness of tin
. situation concerning the lack q|
trailed nur BOS for those who stay at
. home, ami wish to prepare youtseif if
? charge of your family in coos ol
illness or of your neighbor's family'.'
Then you mas go to Miss sfcKenm
and he tauj hi the practical side el
nursing,
1 toes j our i on i lence hurt you just
? I bit foi leaving the club husband st
home In tile (elide!- Iii? leie.S of tin
cook, or to court indigestion In a cafe
Then go to Miss Colth and learn t"
prepare such delectable dishes with a
minimum amount of sugar and with
; no wheat at all that he will rejoice h
your; return, and he ready to have you
come hack next summer.
I-<>r those who want to h arn geog
raph> aini history, studies which pre
sent conditions have made vitally In?
teresting, there are courses given bj
Prof. Evans ami Dr. Walmsley.
The real high brow is provided foi
in lectures on psychology and Eng
lish. Indeed you can Und just the
pabulum you an- seeking no matter
j what it may he. There need hi: no
Hooverising at this 'feast of reason."
Bui to the club woman who hai
come with tin- desire to harn lirst
10 he a more capable officer or mem?
ber of her club, there are two offer
ings in tin- summor course, which
have nral place in her interest.
These are parliamentary law and
public speaking.
h w .mi.I seem that e\ ?-ry delegab
who has ever attended a convention
and realized how Vitalis necessary a
knowledge ?l parliamentary law , it
j '.ui Ii in i In- elm ir ami on the floor, I?
Mn dignllicd proceedings of tin- con
ventiou, woujd have hastened to Win
11 rop to it it tin- feet of that great
teacher of the science Mrs. Emms
Vox,
Mi I, fox's honk on this subject i
iln- recognized authority for all wo
men's clubs in the United states.
Ah a teacher Mis i o\ is a revels
tion undei her skilful explanation ot
..ii. Hons of ruling v\ hh h have seemed
in.i deep ami intricate for the ordi
nur) mind, they heroine simple ai
..in .i ii ? after ihe primer is tin
. lie.i.
: -11. i toll i.i enthusiasm over h?i
thoHi n hue of work, and says that *.
tint where the memberi know ani,
use -v~ laws of parliamentary ruling
? a symphony."
Alas! how many of our montingM
remind one of a Jsjsj band.
Not only dcfeg sin give to her class
the leOOOni which are scheduled In
their course, hut wln-nevcr there is a
recant hour and a vacant room she
K?then together he, interested pupils
and they proceed to Mittle the affaire
of the State in gc<-ordance with strict
parliamentary law.
The < lass in public speaking under
h Crane is also taught the art of
oratory by practice. Miss thane's first
effort is the elimination of the club
a/Oman's hug bear; self-consciousness,
after which conies poise which is the
foundation of the succesful orator.
Perhaps you feel thai all this cop-*
titutea too strenuous a life for July.
Ftememheni you con choose just as
muCh or as little of the course as you
< are to undertake, and there is always
awaiting you the beautiful swimming
pool. No matter how weary you may
h<' a plunge into its crystal coolness
v.ill art like the revivifying waters
of the fountain Of youth.
Ther<- are always delightful events
arranged for the open hour in the
auditorium in the mornings and even?
ings.
Such an event was the visit of Dr.
Vnhs Howard Shaw on the 10th.
l or over an hour the club women
listened with absorbed interest to the
:dory of her life and the story of tho
uii i age movement as bound up with
it. I
in the afternoon |n open conference
die explained to the club women the
work- of the woman's committee of the
Council of Defense of which she is '
chairman und answered questions.
Among other prominent men and Wo?
men who have added to the interest
of the course are Dr. Liberty Hyde
Bailey, Dr. Henry R. Jackson and Miss
Ida TarbelL
The Devereaux players, well known
in college circles entertained two
evenings and at a matinee qnd several
concerts were arranged.
The club women of Rook Hill have
proven most hospitable and gracious
I ?> teases to the visitors and many
teas and drives have added to the
pleasure of the two weeks spent hen>.
i>n Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Alex
Loa- entertained. gaVS a beautiful
garden party in honor of Mrs. Deroy
Springs, president of the South Caro?
lina Federation of Women's Cluhs,
iiul the visiting Club women. The
'hamher of Commerce arranged a
Irive for Friday afternoon, and gave
i he clttb women an opportunity ot
eeing the city of Pock Hill and the
fertile farms around it.
There shall he no apology for a
monopoly of space in the publicity
column this week in favor of the club
woman's course. 1'resident Johnson
and his faculty have done so much,
for the phasure and profit of thosS
a ho have come to Winthrop, that wJ
a a nt those who diu not come to be
wry and to realize what they have
missed.
If we hope to have this remarkable
opportunity for culture and develop?
ment given us every year we must
prove our appreciation by coming in
far neater numbers than we have yet
lone.

explained, "by merely altering the
curvature, or camber, of tho planes.
Rul this would mean a minimum
landing speed of about ISO miles an
hear, and there is the great dittlcul
ty. The machine would he unques
llonably livable, hut its successful
landing would re.pure an aerodome
live or ix miles long, to say nothing
i extraordinary skill on the part of
the pilot."
