  • A Neighborly Call From The Hills To Kindred Spirits Everywhere CULLOWHEE, NORTH CAROLINA, DECEMBER, 1925 CULLOWHEE NOW OFFERS CORRESPONDENCE WORK Tiie Madison Memorial CULLOWHEE NORMAL HAS RESIDENT PHYSICIAN Will Erect Memorial Entrance to Campus in Honor of Prof. Madison, Western North Carolina Counties are Organized to Raise Funds. For the first time in its history Cullowhee has now extended its services to the teachers out in the field through the Correspondence-Study department. This movement is in keeping with other teacher-training institutions and it is believed that through this medium many teachers will be assisted in a very acceptable way toward raising their certificates or hastening their work toward graduation. The interest shown on the part of the teachers in service towarc this movement has been gratifying indeed, and it is quite evident that they welcome the idea. The schoe1 has published a special bulletin ai. • nouncing the coursres being offererd with full instructions as to how to enroll. By the time the printed bulletin could be secured for distribution twelve students had already enrolled and begun work. These bulletins are now being mailed rapidly, and inquiries and new registrations are coming in daily. The bulletin may be had by anyone upon request. President Hunter feels confident that the correspondence study is going to prove a great factor ii helping Cullowhee to serve more aaVouately the teachers of Western Nor t Carolina and adjoining territorie It ;s his policy to enlarge this ent with an increased numbei urses effored as rapidly as the j -ago demands. Cullowhee Observer Armistice Anniversary Interesting Program is Rendered by Training Schoo? The Normal Schoe' friends of the community jo in celebrating Armistice Day in th ograi, giv en on the campy- clock a. m. ths Cullowht^ ng School, e program, which a staged on the steps of the Trailing School ilding was very effective as the nre was assembi in a large circle out in the open. The children participating spoke without exc ion in loud, clear-cut tones so very word could be heard by >« present. The numbers which were also of their own composition ••endered with a spirit of earnestness and understanding that reflected much credit to those responsible or the program as well as the children themselves. The program began with a parade of all the Training School children, followed by the grand march, which last. I for several minutes. At the (Continued on page 2) On July 25th a number of alumni friends met at Cullowhee for the pur- p -e of organizing an association to erect a suitable structure or entrance the campus in recognition of the services of Professor Madison. At a ' anquet in May the Alumni Associa- itno unanimously voted to set this project as an objective for the ensuing year. At the meeting on July 25th an organization was perfected to plan and execute the work of building the memorial. A central committee was appointed to have entire oversight and control of the enterprise. This committee consists of the following members of the Alumni Association: J. N. Wilson, chairman of the committee; S. J. Phillips, recording secretary; E. H. Stillwell, corresponding secretary; D. H. Brown, treasurer; G. C. Cooper. This committee, at its first meeting, which was held in the office of the County Board of Education at Sylva, appointed a soliciting team for Jackson County for the purpose of attempting to raise the amount allotted by the committee to said county. The amount fixed for Jackson was $1250.00. The soliciting team for Jackson County is as follows: Mrs. F. H. Brown, chairman; Mrs. Minnie Wild; Miss Emma Lou Moss; Mrs. Birdie Parker; Mr. J. D. Norton; Mr. F. I. Watson; Mr. C. R. Bird, and Mr. W. C. Reed. The committee voted to ask the other counties having considerable numbers of old students to join in the undertaking. The President of the Alumni Association, E. H. Stillwell, who is also Alumni Secretary to the Central Committee, was empowered to organize the other counties for the drive. The following counties have been visited in person by the President of the Alumni: Macon, Swain, Transylvania, Haywood, and Buncombe. The work in Macon County was entrusted to Mr. J. P. Moore, who is to act as director for his county and see that every old student and friend of Professor Madison has an opportunity to have a part in this worthy enterprise. Mr. Moore has been furnished with a list of old students from his county. In Swain County Mr. D. G. Fisher most graciously consented to accept the responsibility after the honor had been tendered to Mr. J. Robt. Long and declined on account of pressing business. Mr. Fisher with his list of former students will, we are sure, see that no one in Swain County who might be interested is overlooked, but that every one has a chance to have a part In honoring one of our pioneers in education in this end of the State. The work in Transylvania County has been enthusiastically taken up by our old friend and loyal supporter, J. C. Henderson, who was the only one out of Jackson to bs present at our initial meeting when the project was launched. Mr. Henderson has so long been our loyal friend at Cullowhee that we know he will do all he can to help in commemorating the name of the man to whom he owes so much. Haywood County is being organized by one of our more recent graduates, a young man of sterling qualities and great promise, Mr. Rowe Henry. Mr. Henry kindly consented to assume responsibility for his native county and has been furnished with a long list of old students attending here from that county. Buncombe County has been entrusted to Mr. John O. Wood, one of the most progressive teachers in that county. Mr. Wood is a native of Jackson, an alumnus of Cullowhee, and also of the University of N. C. There have been many boys and girls, men and women, from Buncombe County to attend Cullowhee and Mr. Wood has a large field. We know he will organize his work in such a way that no old student will fail to have an opportunity. The counties of Clay , Graham, Cherokee and Henderson, though not yet having been visited by the President of the Alumni, are being organized. For Clay County, Mr. B. C. Jones, who is teaching at Hayesville, has been asked to serve as director. Mr. Jones is a Jackson County man by birth, an alumnus of Cullowhee, and one of the most progressive and successful high school principals in this part of the state. We trust and have reason to believe that Mr. Jones will see that Clay County has a part in this work. In Graham County Miss Edora Eller has been asked to put the matter in shape and give the people in her county an opportunity to contribute. We shall be expecting good news from Miss Eller soon. In Cherokee County, Mr. A. M. Simons was asked to organize the work and was given a list of names of old students. We have not as yet had any response from Mr. Simons, but trust that he will soon advise us of his success. Henderson Countywill be organized by Mr. W. A. Graham, one of our old friends and a loyal supporter of Cullowhee. At a recent joint meeting of the Contral Committee and the Soliciting Team for Jackson County the reports from the team indicated that they now have in cash and pledges nearly two-thirds of Jackson's quota. The team was urged to undertake to collect all pledges by the next meeting, (Continued on page 2) The school takes pleasure in announcing to the public that it has been able to arrange for an all time resident physician. This progressive movement now enables the school not only to provide immediate and efficient medical attention in cases of emergency sickness among students, but also to establish a definite department of Health Education. Dr. L. B. Newman of Knoxville, Tennessee, who has been secured for this position, comes to the School highly recommended in his profession. He is a graduate of the School of Medicine, University of Tennessee, and is a licensed practitioner both in Tennessee and North Carolina. Before coming to Cullowhee, Dr. Newman spent one year in service in the Knoxville General Hospital and later practiced medicine in the town of Friendsville, Tennessee. Since reaching Cullowhee, he has been busily engaged in working out his program of physical examination and giving typhoid inoculation to all the students. In keeping with the strong recommendations of the State Board of Health, the School has required every student under its administration to be inoculated with the exception of those who could furnish satisfactory records of inoculation from their home physicians. Every student was also given a general physical examination, and those desiring to participate in strenuous athletic sports were given an additional and more thorough one. All examinations were recorded as a part of the permanent records of each individual. Each student pays a nominal medical fee which entitles him to all examinations and medical treatment needed through the year without additional cost. Dr. and Mrs. Newman have made many friends during their short stay at Cullowhee and we are glad to welcome them into our school and social life. They are domiciled in one of the School cottages just off the campus, and appear to be very well contented. Songs of Appalachia Are Presented The students greatly enjoyed the delightful entertainer, Hon. Bascom Lamar Lunsford of Asheville, in his "Songs of Appalachia," given Tuesday evening, October 27th, in the School auditorium. Mr. Lunsford has succeeded in bringing together a rare collection of folk songs of North Carolina, which he is able to give to his audiences with pleasing and signifi- (Continued on page 7)
