Impressions of Club Women's Course
at Winthrop.

The course offered to the women Of
the State by Winthrop College.
known as t.The C1ubwomen's Course"
has this year passed the experimental
stage and will become almost certain
ly a prominent part Of the summer
session. The enrolment this year
reached fifty; double the number
who enrolled in 1913, and the num-
Der enrolling for regular courses
treb1ed that of last year. Among the
number were several from North Car
DINA.
It is an opportunity for broaden
ing inspiration and pleasant social in
tercourse among the women OF the
State whose thoughts are turned to
the problems facing them in the re-
construction of the world; group
where each one is at her best. where
all are interesting, because all are IN
crested; where trivialities are forgot
ten and delightful associations form
ed.
With such full program from
which to choose, the question was:
What must we give up? What will
we have to leave out? The class in
parliamentary law, conducted by Mrs
Emma Fox. recognized national all
thority on the subject was probably
most largely attened and greatly en-
joyed. Dr. Walmsley's class on the
World War" was a mental inspira-
tioll-the subject being dealt with
from the standpoint. not of events
but of issues. causes and effects.
DR.. Thomas's class. in household
chemistry and Miss Niebert's in
home economics were a joy to home
makers. The illiteracy problem In
South Carolina was handled by Miss
Will Lou Gray. with special reference
to the campaign to be conducted
throughout the State. in August, for
the teaching of adult illiterates.
Another course greatly enjoyed by
many was that of picture stuoy. by
Misses Satterwhite and Carroll.
Does this sound too strenuous for
July days? A plunge in the beauti-
full swimming pool was a favcrite
recreation of the clubwomen. and
white haired women took the first
plunge of their lives with the ardoT Of
school girls and the courage with
which they are focing the problems
Of the day.
Among the social features was an
auto ride given by the Chamber OF
Commerce. a reception by the club
women Of Rock Hill and another by
Mrs D. 3. Johnson: two concerts by
the music department. pageant by
the department of French in celebra-
ton of Bastile Day. a get together"
party by the sociology class. Add to
this the inspiring community singing,
led by Mr. Coburn, and. last but by
no means least. five delightful lectures
by DR.. Alphonso Smith. and you have
part only of the programme open
to the women Of the State.
Besides the courses arranged for by
che college. there was one planned ~
the Federal Government Thrift De
partment, with the idea Of securing
the cooperation of the clubwomen III
developing interest in this subject.
This was in charge of Mrs. Norton. a
! government employee connected with
this department and Home Eco
! nomics editor. and Miss Roberts. CT
/ the treasury department.
Those attending from Sumter co!in-
] ty were Mrs. J. K. Sumter. Mrs. NJ l.
