DECLINES TO JOIN PARTY,
WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION
REMAINS NON.PARTISAN.
Leaders DenOunce Efforts to Bind
Members to Fight All Who Oppose
AmendmC 1t.

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 8.-The
National American Woman Suffrage
association today reaffirmed its policy
OF -partisanship as an organiza-
ton toward national political parties
and defeated by an overwhelming
vote an attempt to place the associa-
ton on record as in favor Of support
ing national candidates who pledge
their support to the proposed equal
rights amendment to the federal con-
stitution. The resolution. which was
introduced by Mrs. Raymond Robins,
wife Of the chairman Of the last ma
tional convention of the Progressive
party. was branded by some of the
delegates as an anti Wilson move de-
spite vehement denials by Mrs Rob-
ms and others who signed the reso.
luton.
The resolution introduced in the,
convention several days ago by Presi-
dent Carrie Chapman Gait that the
immediate and principal aim Of the
association was the passage of the
federal amendment and that all State
work was only preparatory thereto
was Withdrawn. The subject will be
introduced in another form, Mrs. Catt
said, as the resolution, because Of the
opposition 1t has met, apparently has
been misunderstood.
The convention spent much Of the
afternoon in deciding on methods OF
carrying ON it's campaign for suffrage
The question Of opposing the reelec-
ton OF those members of the house
judiciary committee. whether Demo
Gratis or Republicans, who blocked
the suffrage amendment in committee
was left to the Judgment Of the asso-
ciation's congressional committee.
Two days in October and one day
In November will be observed as fed

powerful new pump for the scOtieEe
waterworks has been Installed. To- IA,
sure an ample supply of water al a,l
times, suA large shed for the mix
cows has been built on the farm, and
other improvements made there. The
basement Of the old building Of the
training school has been arranged Tor
rainy day playground for the pupils
Of that school.
The appointment bureau OF the col.
lege has helped to place a number 81
the Winthrop graduates and others
In teaching positions during the sum.
mer free of all cost to the teach
ers and to those engaging them.
A committee is preparing plans TO-
the exercises at the formal opening
OF the new gymnasium in the early
fall. This Is the largest and besi
equipped gymnasium in the South and
has excited the surprise and admira-
tion of visitors from all parts OF the
country.
This gymnasium added much to the
success Of the summer school which
closed July 81. This was the best sum
mer school ever held here. its enroll
ment Of 7sS being In excess OF any
thing before known in the State.
The shaping up OF the student body
has been delayed by the new law
governing the award of scholarships
Under this law the financial ability OF
all applicants for scholarships must
be passed on by the State Board OF
Charities and Corrections This board
was unable to meet till September /.
Under the provision of the law those
pronounced ineligible by the board
could not be awarded scholarships no
matter how high their examinatio on
grades were.
There has been over 1000 appli-
cants for admission to college this
year and as there Is dormitory accom-
modatiOn for only about 975, over
$50 had to be refused. OF these $50
many, of course, were not prepared
to enter, but there were enough who
were prepared and who were refus-
ed for lack Of room to fill another DOR
mitory.
All students must have dormitory
certificates before coming to Rock
Hill II they expect to room in the col
lege. These certificates are good only
to the night Of September 10 and no
girl can expect to hold her room IL
she arrives at later date.
The college will soon be again in
full swing, the matrons. hOusekeepers
etc. will arrive on the 18th, the fac
uity and teachers meeting will be
held at noon on September IA. On tho
18th will come those students who
have condition examinations to pass
who expect to stand examinations for
advanced college standing, or for ad.
mission to the Latin department.
