BEST WORK IN
HISTORY DONE

Give Programs at County
farm-Co-operate With

Churches.
CAMPAIGN SUCCESSFUL
Changes in Organization Aid
in Increasing Enroll
ment and Budget
for 1920.

With an increase in membership, a
larger budget, changes in organization
and the enthusiastic support of all IFS
members, the Y. W. C. A. has been able
to start off on a firmer basis this year
and as result has accomplished greater
work than in previous years.
According to the general secretary, the
change in the membership basis is the
most important new feature Of this year S
organization. Formerly only those who
belonged TO a Protestant Church were
eligible for membership. Now, any girl
may become member As result Of
This change the membership has increas-
ed to 58l.
The budget of this wear which totals
approximately s3.4O0, shows an increase
Of seventy-five per cent over the 5000
subscribed last year. I'VE consider the
recent campaign highly successful = said
Miss Maude Cwinn. in view of the un-
animous response to our requests. The
pledges ranged from fifty cents to twen-
ty-fiye dollars, the majority of the sub
scriptions averaging between four and
five dollars. OF the total amount sub
scribcd, s285 was given by the faculty,
Sl20 by the Advisory Board, s2-335 by
students. and $40 through miscellane-
Gus gifts.
The Y. ". c. A. has undertaken an
increased amount of social service work
this year. Weekly programs including
readings and songs have been given on
Sunday afternoons by girls in Y. W. c.
A. work at the County farm. These
programs are greatly appreciated but
according to Miss Cwinn, they cannot be
regular because Of lack of means 10 take
the girls out there. Owners of cars have
been asked to offer them for use for this
purpose some Sunday Afternoon.
At present hospital work is confined
10 writing notes and sending magazines
TO those wlo arc sick. The organization
is also doing cooperative work with the
Red Cross in trying to furnish shoes TO
school children who need them. Teach
ers are provided for club and Sunday
SchaI work at Hinkson. Girls working
through, the church are sent 10 visit The
sick or those confined 10 the house.
The Y. ". c. A. has taken up the
work Of the University committee who
had charge of rooms for girls. Accord
ing to Miss Gwinn they have succeeded
in supplying the demand since the es-
tablishment Of the bureau. The employ
ment bureau has been working success
fully during the year.
Various health movements have been
instigated through posters and question
aires. the most recent Of which urges the
women to sleep eight hours. The bible

NEWSPAPER SCOUT DUTY.

Il Charles A. Seldom is contributing to the New
& York Times series of articles in which he gives
he results of his investigation of radicalism in
he middle west Mr.. Seldons conclusion is
that, except for the extreme northwest, there is
$40 great amount of radical sentiment. He says
seeports of unrest and the wide reach of radical
SIN in Chicago are exaggerated, despite the fact
that the city is the headquarters of l. W. w.
SIN and the stamping ground of Haywood. He
quotes Victor Olander, Chicago's prominent
labor leader, as saying that the menace of radi-
5calism is chiefly gained through the publicity
given it in the newspaper press. He quotes Po-
lice Sergeant Mike Collins, in charge of Chica-
COS bureau to investigate radicalism. to the
effect that there are seventy thousand commun-
lists IN this country, not ten per cent. of them
citizens, and that Chicago has ten thousand of
them.
Apparently Mr.. Seldon's articles are an in
dlctment OF the newspaper press for exagger-
alton of the menace coming from compare
lively small group of agitators. But great
good has come from the calling of public atten-
ton to this group and it's efforts; we are as a
result seeing passive loyalty become active;
the government is Kidding the nation of germs
of anarchy, and this is necessary to safety.
