course of the Red Cross" said DR.
Farrand. Born for It relatively
specific function. gradually growing
! to meet disaster and emergency calls
the Red Cross found itself at the
outbreak of the great war confronted
with the gigantic task of administer
| ing to the sufferings of the victims
: of the greatest crisis the world has
ever known. and naturally. when the
armistice came, we were confronted
as ali Others, with the problem OF
reconstructing our own attitudes to-
ward the future.
More Complex Than War.
THE situation that confronted us
was more complex than the war itself
but realizing that an organizatio,
that could grow in two years from d
| mere handful of workers to 10000, O0u
members. exclusive of 100000 boys
and girls OF the Junior Red Cross
should have definite duty in the re-
construction of the world, we set
about our task.
Many argued the society a war
measure pure and simple and the
sooner disbanded the better for the
country. while others felt there was
some way for the Red Cross to help
| in the national and international
crisis that we are in the throes of at
present. We found that way.
Welfare of the community was
adopted as our slogan. and number
less ways have been found whereby
in the future the Red Cross will not
only be useful but indispensable"
Aims to "I<eep America American"
Bishop Theodore ID. Bratton. presi-
dent of the congress. in his opening
address, sounded the keynote of the
convention vest erday afternoon. when
he stated that the chief object of
! the Southern Sociological Society was
to keep America American.
He outlined the aims of the con-
Rress in detail, and declared that all
theories of international relations
are closer together than they ever
have been.
The bishop evinced faith in the
power of America to digest and in
corporate the peoples of The world
into the national life, but called for
consecrated leaders to accomplish
this national task.

of Delaware College. said that the
