  • THE CULLOWHEE YODEL ITEMS OF INTEREST Mr. West Gives Leeture On China One of the interesting features of the past month was an illustrated lecture on China, given by Mr. W. F. West, Pastor of the Baptist Church. Mr. West has spent several years in China, and for this reason he _ was prepared to give a very realistic account of conditions there. every afternoon a crowd of students, under the chaperonage of Miss Alice Benton, have been making expeditions to the river. Miss Benton is teaching amateurs to swim according to the most scientific methods. A Number Of 3ooks Donated To Library Swimming Popular At Summer School Swimming has been one of the most popular sports at the Summer School. An adequate bath house has been provided by the School on the Tuckaseigee bank not far from the campus. Private parties have made early morning trips for a sv Valuable contributions were made to the Cullowhee Library during the month of June. The Rand-McNally Publishing Company donated $145.80 worth of new books, especially applicable to studies being pursued at the Summer School. Mrs. Muriel Joslin generously contributed books dealing with Education, Psychology, and Sociology. Copies of Saint Teresa, by Henry Sydnor Harrison; and "T^The Young Visitors, by Daisy Ash- ford; were given by Miss Alice Benton. THE ART OF MILKING Milking a cow is one of the hardest jobs I ever tackled. It is unlike any other job I know of. Walking a tight rope is difficult, but it requires constant locomotion, whije this is a stationary performance. Writing Paradise Lost was surely not an easy job, but the conditions of that were genius and blindness, while this demands neither. Constructing Brooklyn Bridge was no child's play, but it required engineering skill of a totally different character from that which is necessary for this job. Painting the Angelus, or inventing wireless telegraphy, or discovering the North Pole, or winning the World War engaged a degree of skill, an outlay of energy, and an investment of brains somewhat in excess of that usually called into play in the milking operation. Nevertheless, it remains in the field of high art a most useful and difficult endeavor to extract from Madam Sukey the lactic fluid in ample and constant flow with each successive compression of the human phalanges—especially, if her cud-chewing majesty is indisposed to let it down. Hence, I am convinced that the old-fashioned method has been superseded to great advantage by modern scientific practice. In this device, four rubber tubes are attached to the udder, while electricity produces a regular and easy suction. And, to bring her ladyship into cheerful and submissive mood, soothing airs from a victrola accompany the operation. Blessings on the head of him who thought of such a scheme. —An Ex-Milker.

Following a short business session, Miss Nettie Brogdon, Supervisor of Rural Schools in Jackson County, gave a brief account of the work done in her field during the past year. At one time, stated Miss Brogdon, supervision was merely inspection and criticism. There was nothing constructive offered the teacher. The supervision idea has outgrown this petty function, and now aims to help the teacher to improve school room instruction. Miss Brogdon further stated: "Supervision is truly a business and will never function efficiently until it operates on sound business principles. The successful business man makes a study of the possible assets and liabilities of his undertaking, and with this information in mind determines aims which he can reasonably hope to accomplish within a given length of time. Furthermore, he plans with much adroitness the method of procedure by which he may accomplish the desired results. There is still another step; he takes inventory of the business at stated times in order to determine to what degree he has been successful in the accomplishment of his aim. If the supervisor is to succeed in her 'business,' she, too, must have a definite aim, a definite method of procedure, and a definite way of checking results." Miss Margaret McAdory, Instructor in Fine and Industrial Arts, made a delightful talk on the combination of colors, which she illustrated with textiles of unusual color and design. Miss McAdory stated that color is as elemental in appeal as sound. The hues of a color vary by degrees, making a chromatic scale as one color note climbs to another. Colors differ as to hue, lightness and darkness, and intensity, or dullness and brightness. Miss McAdory displayed some striking printed silks and told how colors are stamped upon cloth. She said that at present there seems to be a return to the figured designs of India and Persia. Miss Ethel Fielding, Voice Teacher in the Summer School, gave a group of songs, which were much enjoyed by the audience. Miss Albertson Discusses Pa rent Teacher Assoc iation Before Teachers Miss Catherine Albertson, who is doing extension work for the North Carolina College for Women, in the interest of the Parent-Teacher Association, recently spoke to the faculty and students of the Cullowhee Summer School, at Chapel Exercises. Miss Albertson is traveling over the State for the purpose of presenting the idea and possibilities of the Parent-Teacher Association and plans for forming local organizations. In outlining its history, Miss Albertson stated that some claim Leaks- ville was the first community to organize, thirty-seven years ago, an association of parents and teachers for the purpose of co-operating in educating its boys and girls. However, it is doubtful whether this was the first beginning of the later national organization. It is known that the National Association was formed twenty-eight years ago. Not until four years ago did the States themselves form units of the organization. The North Carolina branch progressed as rapidly as possible under the disadvantage of lack of funds until last year at the State Convention, in Greensboro, the North Carolina College for Women asked for and received the work of promoting the organization as a part of its extension service. Since that time the Parent-Teacher Association has been growing in scope and usefulness. Communities have found that such an organization of co-operation between parents and teachers can become a tremendous force in the home as well as in the school. The home is brought in touch with what the school is trying to do, and is no longer dependent upon information furnished by the child. Inevitable mistakes resulting from the child's misconception of an adult standpoint can be avoided if the school and home are in direct contact with each other. Parents and teachers working together can achieve unlimited results. The Parent-Teacher Association aims to encourage the appreciation of the beautiful through cultural training in Art and Music, intellectual training, observance and respect for laws, and religion in the schools —that is, trying to encourage the recognition of the Bible and the old Bible stories as a part of the school program. Miss Albertson remained at the School for several days, advising with prospective teachers in the organization' of local groups in the respective communities. Claude Jones had received a telegram. He showed it with pride to his friend. "Wonderful quick things they are, ain't they, these telegraphs?" said Herman, amazed. "Quick ain't the word for it; the gum on the envelope ain't even drv yet." * I SPECIAL NOTICE f ! The Yodel will not be published during ! I the months of August and September. The I | present number has been increased from 1 I eight to ten pages. Watch for the October f X issue. i • •
