Bennett Girls Told How TO
Get And Hold Boy Friends
Must Look
At Best At
All Times

GREENSBORO, N. C-(SNS)-
Freshman. girls are middle
adolescents' and therefore in the
generalized sex-interest PERIOD,
said Mrs. Ernestine Cookson Miner
of Guilford college to the fresh
man students of Bennett College,
in lecture Tuesday night which
concluded their unit on sex eouca-
ton in the course in THE Art of
Living, taught by Miss Lydia Jet
ton.
MS. Milner did not advocate boy
and-girl friendships that resulted
in early engagements and mar
riage, for marriage under 20. she
stated, was economically impos-
sible" and physically undersir-
able".
She felt that friendships with
the opposite sex within a group was
most desirable for middle adoles-
cents. In this way, all the girls in
the group get to know all the boys
and thus opportunity is afforded to
know each person rather than op-
nortunitv given for exclusiveness in
friendships between one boy and
girl.
In order to be popular with the
opposite sex, the speaker told the
girls that they must look their
best at all times, have something
TO talk about. especially something
that interests boys such as Sports,
and be able to play games, tennis,
table games, etc, with some de-
gree of satisfaction.
''The Art of Living" is a course
-eqUired of all freshmen at Bennett
College. which seeks through its
diversified units to do what it's title
implies-teach young women the
ART of successful and wholesome
living.
"The Art of Living includes
units on dress, mental health,
nutrition and physical health, per-
sonal budgeting, how to study,
family relationships, and art ap-

is news. Still, from our obser-
walton, the cooperation from
hundreds of thousands of men
and women making up the real
trades-union movement in de-
fense production should be i'm
portant and good news, but not
as sensational as strikes.
According to reliable figures,
there was but little time lost
through strikes during the past
year. This lost time amount
ed to less than two hours per
worker employed for the year
1910.
Considering the tremendous
resistance that so many employ
ers in many fields are still max
ing to the organization of lab
or, this is really an encourag-
ing record, especially when you
consider that the majority of
these strikes were caused by eff
forts to gain union recognition
so that the men and women in
volved could exercise their rights
to join a union of their own
choosing.

Apt To Get
False Impression
Regarding Strikes

(From The American Press
man, Thomas E. Dunwoody,
Editor).
In reading the newspapers,
one is very likely to get a false
impression regarding strikes.
Sometimes this is, undoubtedly,
due to the way matters concern
ing the strikes are reported. A
certain per cent of the readers
give no thought to the reasons
for strikes and these are not
by any means brought out clear
ly in the average newspaper ar
ticle. The workers go out and,
therefore, to those whose minds
are trained to function in a one
way groove, labor is solely to
blame. Others are naturally
biased and antagonistic to or
ganized labor for personal or
imaginary reasons and it is easy
for them to get the wrong i'm
preston. They are constantly
on the search for another rea-
son to talk against labor.
Some bemoan the evils of low
wages, unemployment and pow
erty but hate these horrid old
strikes. These may ease their
conscience, if they have any con-
cerning these troubles as they
affect others, by meaningless
discussion somewhat along the
lines of the parlor communists
and by expressions of sympa-
thetic concern at their pet clubs
and gossip centers. They give
no regard for the practical as
pect of improving conditions.
In addition to failing to give
labor a break, newspapers have
not reported, and certainly have
not played up, those numerous
disputes between labor and man.
agement which have been set
tied peacefully under union
agreements. Of course, to
many, these peaceful settle
ments would not be considered
as possessing great news value.
On the other hand, a big strike
