President of Florida College Speaks
?; at State College. ?
Orangeburg, S. ,C.,?In response txr
invitation sent .out by Dr; R. Sr
Wilkinson to the presidents of various
Land Grant Colleges, Dr. J. R. E. Lee,
President of the Florida Agricultural
and Mechanical College at Tallahassee,
was onitand Sunday and Monday
August and 11. .At the public meet
ing on both days, toe president of the
Stato College located in "The Land of
F I o wf rs,-?gave?encouragement
through two inspirational talks. , He
advocated that the "Live-At-Home"
campaign is the real solution for-the
agricultural depression which is now
existing.' ?
According to him, for the farmers
to be able to ""pull themselves out of
ttre"slough of despondency-, the agents
must take this information whicfithey
arP receiving here, carry itjbaek home
and put it into practise. The speaker
felt that these agents will not Joe
able to do all that has been taught,
. but can pick out one or two things and
carry them to completion. In. that
way, the agents will then be able to
change the Whole situation.
"I want to see in my' state," President
Lee Said, "extension agents who
are wide awake, men who are willing
to forget themseves and place their
jobs above themselves, willing to cott^
secrate themselves to the eauseof extension
work If you agents make good
tent ion of these greatTbumlations, tli<?
local and state officials, so that your in
terests will not be divided. Throw
d * yourselves into the * work. Be loyal
to your organization and we will not
'ave~to fear about the future."
ARTHUR PRAISES WORK AT
SECOND SUMMER SESSION
Orangeburg, S. C., Aug. 16, 1680?
The work of the summer session at
State College was highly praised -by
Mr. George R. Arthur, Director of Negro
Welfare, Rosenwald Fufid, Chicago.
Illinois, who snoke in the chapel,
Friday, August 15. Mr. Arthur, the
key man, is more closely associated
with Mr. Rosenwald than any other
thp great philan^"ttffoptstFand
benefactor,- .
\,J- Mr. Arthur, said in his leetui-e: "1
' ki)ow Mr.' Rosenwald will appreciate
*** (when I tell him of the fine group of
f taien and 'women I ani meeting here.
I am going-to tell him of your sacrifices
and the hard work you are doing.
You are doing what Few~will do; com^
ing to school in this hot weather and
getting the things that may assist us
in raising our level. I am going to
tell Mr. Rosenwald with all the force
I know of about the hard work you are
doing: down here."
this was the thing to do. In the past
he has ben assisting our group in rural
education, medicine, and buillding hospitals.
All of these were concrete,
but when we began to h.elp out Jn this
type of workYftealingScithhumanbeings,
with souls, the abstract crept in.
Mr. Rosenwfild is the first part of the
contract, you are the second part of
the contract. You are expeeted to deliver
something definite and worth
whilt to' the boys and. girls back in the
rural district in ord??f*tWft they may
have a better outlodk on life."

KIKS EXPECTATION
. .by Prof. John It.- Wilson, ^ 11
The so called world war was a tin-.. ?
ly dreadful atfair und, in the' loss ___
of, and impairment to,. human 4it'e~jVj
indeed stupendous.-. Inasmuch j~as
it served, -however, to open the
eyes of the American people to the:'
awful fact that certain highly eonfa
gioiis and truly insidious diseases-whose
names are never mentioned i
polite society?were alarnvtngly?ex^
taiit and rapidly increasing to. tlie ex-1
tent of ultimately threatening? evenundermining
the health of the nation f'*c
as a whole, it proved to be more <)l' a
blessing than otherwise, i For, by ex fi'i*
posing these ills, and causing the peo- t*-'1
pie to address earnest effort to their J1"0!
suppression and 'TTtntjcation. More j ':,t
live?, have been saved than were-, ill j c
the war,, lost! Moreover, our counljs
try has a far greater riuWttfei* of as-jt
: sets und by fur fewer Liabilitics_in.cobL.^j

ed ^efficiently to do for the given i'"i
-community, in which they operate? |
that is expose the physical ills that 001
are not otherwise obvious and point ,fln
the way to a cure.
Inasmuch by such standard, the * ^
Columbia Clinic, of which Dr. Matil-,^
da ArEvans is general?director and!'"
which-is now daily functioning with j ,^w
quarters in the basement of Zion CO]
" Baptist Cliurrh, is no longer an ex-j8^
peximent but* in far reaching achiev-J
ments, is even now surpassing the VV1
most sanguine expectation of its al. i.jh*
' tr'uFsti'c ~promoieiy iind substantial
supporters. This is well ...evidenced t'"
by the folowing: ,:m
During the present week, this clinic
has from tl. a. m. tto 0 p. m. each |v0
day functioned, vacillating f><5 / school 111
through examination -for "the defects 'at
children, as well as giving them '<,r;

to say .nothing of the one hundred
and sixty-nine children of nre-school iP1'
age to whom1 attention was gften,tisj l'e
well as tlie thirty odd pre-natal eases '
that"received .consideration. And de-;^?
pldrable is the fact that of the hun- |an

with one or more of the ills listed !'}(

" beau til'ul response of appreciation b^r J
parents generally shown for such in-jwc
formation where by they are enabled j
to know and have treated, in their j-KH
incipient stages, these listed ills. |da
An incentive it is, or ought be, to all jat'
--othor parents to send promptly their!
children, to this clinic that they too!^e
may be duly examined. And when it ,nu
is recalled that every child, on enter-1
ing school, is recognized by law to , ~
bring with it its "vacillation" card, ivil
the mother of going to the clinic he-;

We traveled twenty-four hours before
reaching Leningrad, Russia. We
had first class berth accommodations.
ArFtvrng at Leningrad, an American
lady and a Russian guide, a young lady
wpfp at the" station awaiting our ar_
rival. We entered a bus and soon
arrived at our hotel, Znanenski, where
we were pleasantly situated." We
went out the first night to a concert
where addresses were made telling, of
the five.year plan,established by Gossplan.
Russia has a population of 1 GO
000,000. Russia has an area of miles
two and a half times larger than our
United States of-America,?and four
times larger than Europe. -Leningrad
has a population of 2,000,000. Since
sia has purchased from every state,
and in Canada orders have been made..
The largest order went to Texas, $120,
000,000 for cotton, other southern
states, Alabama, Louisiana, TennesgftP,
alqr> pump fnr n portion
of cotton. business with Western"
States has increased in the past few
years. California received $10,000,000
Had it not bgfn for these Russian or"clers,
many Cleveland factories -would
have faced a shut-down when automobile
orders stopped.
Thirteen steamers recently bought
ping board, gave work to- several hundred
mem One hutidred carloads of
Harvesters were shipped from Oakr
land, .California. A Columbus, Gepy-.
gia, factory was kept running day ami |
night sincp early December on export
business. It will require eleven carloads,
the largest order of its kind
ever received by any company.
Russia is great. Its churches are
tn- Greek Orthodox. Its palaces and
museums of different arts are magnificient.
Rykof is the President of the
Council, in other words, Dictator. Sta
lein is Secretary of the Council. Gossplan
is the head office' of the five-year
plan. It is said the improvements in
the past year and a half have been
great, it is to be seen how very great
jt will be at the pjQJiration of the five- >
year plan. The one horse shay is stilr
in evidence also the horse and strange
wagon, and the very strange wooden
yoke to hold lip thf shafts. Very few.
automobiles for the size of the city.
Leaving Leningrad we proceed on to

He put all his will and clear brain into
