children who used them. Now the
swings and the sand pile are still popu-

ground where everyone is busy with
basketry, weaving, and embroidery.
The instruction in handwork of va
rious sorts has kept numbers of chill

cause they learned to make salable ar
ticles at summer Fairgrounds, accord
ing to Miss May Roper, OF the play
ground department. In discussing the
service rendered to the city by the play
grounds of the present, shee said
We feel that our Fairgrounds are do
ing a great deal for ch ldren when we
lind that the handlcrafts they have
learned there often open new way
for them to earn money. Indeed. some
~ them have been able to continue
their attendance at school because they
have been able to sell things they made
In the summer.
Lace Work Opportunity.
"One little girl in the northeast was
taught to do Irish lace. and she made
such beautiful collars that she found
a ready sale for them. and was even
able to buy coats for her entire family
this winter with the money. Another
girl thought that she would be unable
to enter high school in the fall. and
had applied for position at a depart
ment store. where the chances for en-
ployment We're few and the salary low.
She, too, was taught lacework. and did
enough each summer to buy her school
hooks for winter at Business High
School. Now she has completed her
course. and has good position as
stenoErapher with a firm where she has
a chance for advancement.
"Girls are not the only ones who can
profit by playground lessons. We have
taught mothers to sew who have never
made baby's dress. and they can take
lessons in embroidery or any OF the
crafts their children study.

country home Of Mrs. John Mays
on Monday afternoon. The light
rains and the pleasant distance fol

pleasant than usual, and several
cars and many other vehicles
betook their way in the direction Of
Mrs. Nays, two miles and a halt
from Edgefeld.
The special business of the meet,
ing was the election of officers,
which followed the devotional ser.

When the business was completed,
the guests were all invited out on

who made the occasion very pleas

Anderson College.

This growing institution is the
pride of Anderson county and the
Piedmont section, and stands in the
front rank of colleges for girls and
young women in South Carolina.
II is one of the youngest institutions
in the state but has steadily grown
since the opening session. The plant
or college property Is modem in
every particular, and money has
been lavishly spent in equipping
every department. The people of
the town and county of Anderson
are loyal to Anderson college to the
extent that it lacks for nothing. I'm
provements and additions of one
kind or another are constantly be-
ing made to meet the needs of the
growing institution.
Not only is the college we'll
equipped and ideally located, with
reference to its immediate surround
ings ard to the Piedmont section
generally. but it is provided with a
very strong corps of teachers. From
DR.. James P. Kinard, the capable
and worthy president, down to the
teacher of the lowest department,
men AMI women who stand high as
educators are employed as teachers.
The atmosphere Of Anderson col
lege is wholesome, as the institution
stands not only for education but
for Christian education.
Attention is directed to the ad.
vertisement of the college in this
issue, and if you are contemplating
sending a daughter off to college
communicate with Dr.. Kinard be-
fore making a final decision as to
what institution you will select.
