NATIVE AFRICAN TEACH ER SPEAKS IN CHAPEL Miss Amelia Njonwana, a resident of Spel man campus, but a student of the Atlanta School of Social Work, gave an interesting talk in chapel Oct. 8, 1928, concerning the Lovedale Institution in Cape Colony, South Africa, a school in which she worked before coming to America and to which she intends to return at the end of this year. She spoke of Mr. Max Yergan and his. family, whom she knows well. She stated that the school was organized in 1789 and since that time “has changed darkness into light." It has turned out judges, magis trates, teachers, nurses, and other workers. “Af rica is pushing and progressing.” She said that at first missionaries in Africa met with great difficulties, because Africans had no chances and opportunities for educa tion, but now they are not standing still; they are indeed making progress. Miss Njonwana said, “Although many of our people say Africa for the Africans, I say Africa for Christ.” MAKING CHOICES In her chapel talk Tuesday, October 2, 1928, President Read discussed the problem of mak ing choices. She began with the quotation: “Choose ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.” She discussed money, marks, and time. When it comes to money, one should always put first things first. A teacher should not be more in terested in the money she’s going to get than the service she’s going to give. Concerning marks, she insisted that we con tinue to put first things first. Some students say, “I don’t want to take that course because I’m afraid I’ll not get a good mark in it.” Everybody wants good marks, but that should not be bis main aim. He should care more about what he gets out of his studies. Y hen it comes to time, equal emphasis was placed on putting first things first. “When you work, work hard; when you play, play hard; and when you rest, rest hard.” MOREHOUSE COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE October 6—Morris Brown University at At lanta.

It happened the first day we came.” “Alice you may depend on me to bury it in the ‘archives.’ ” “Well, you remember every year when we arrive at Spelman we always inter the treas urer s office from the south door of Rocke feller. In the usual way T entered and stood there fully ten minutes before finding out that the office had been changed to the north side of Rockefeller.” “Compare an embarrassment of ten min utes with one of twenty-five minutes. I heard some of the girls say that at 5 o’clock we would meet Miss Wagner at the post office to get our mail boxes. I did not once dream of a post office on the campus; hence I walked to West End and waited fully twenty- five minutes at the post office for Miss Wag ner. Nelle thought that was the funniest incident she had ever heard. “Stop laughing at me,” said Alice. “Don’t forget you asked me to show you where the infirmary w r as. I thought every girl knew before school opened that Mac Vicar Hos pital was now an infirmary for Morehouse and Spelman students. Every letter I received during the summer mentioned it.” “You don’t seem to take life so well when the joke is on you,” said Nelle. “Oh, I had not given that a thought. I was wondering if we could get Dorothy down to second floor for a few minutes tonight. You know she was on the campus all summer and knows of all the changes—in fact every thing.” That same night Dorothy came down and of course the first thing she mentioned was that Morehouse men will attend some Spel man classes and Spelman women will at tend classes at Morehouse. “If that report is true,” said Nelle, “we must lower our voices, take our motto from King Lear, ‘a voice ever soft, gentle and low is an excellent thing in woman.’ ” After she had finished telling about the showers and gym in Giles Hall, they could hardly wait for gym class to meet. They immediately agreed with her that the changes in the dining room were a wonder ful improvement. A senior at the head of each table, choice of seats and the name “dietitian” keeps one hungry all of the time. Nelle wanted to know what the old li brary was used for. Dorothy promised to tell us if we would not giggle. “The library has been changed into rooms, two of which are occupied by Misses Jen sen and Neptune—but the spirits and ghosts of the books still remain. One night when Miss Jensen had just ceased a reverie among the economics and mathematics books, Miss Neptune screamed for help. When Miss Jensen arrived, Shakespeare was lead ing an army of about one hundred fifty Eng lish books across the American literature book shelf. All was soon calm, for Miss (Continued on Last Page)
