McGrew EDUCATION OF NEGRO IS PRIMARY EXPENDITURE For many years. Penn State, through the Y. M. C. A., has been do ing for the colored people what it has done for the Cantonese through the Canton Christian College and “Dad dy-” Croft ’O7. In the South where the colored problem is evident and recognized ami where Hooker T. Washington creected the greatest monument of all time, Penn State has been represented. Five hundred dollars is given an nually to the support and mainten ance of educational facilities to pro vide opportunities for the negro men of tomorrow. Secretary Kitchen said, “It is small compared to the vast field which lies before the “Y” but it is as distinctively Penn State as the work carried on in China.” Vast and Important In an interview Secretary Kitchen spoke as follows: “Every ninth man in the . United States is a colored man. A little more than three score years ago, they-were slaves. They were expeted to . make no contribution to the Ifie of the na tion save that of economy through the use of the hands. "Up From Slavery" by T. Washington and othe rbobks' treating the subject with the same." thorough-: ness have made us aware of the rapid change coming about in the once r.up pressed colored people. Men of tal ent have emerged—contributions are being made by-*colored people which supplement the hard business quality attributed to Americans. “The prize for the best poetry of the year, written by a student, has gone to a colored man for the past two years.

The object of the meetings is to help the student understand his place in the world and the part he is to play in the H’ligious end of it. For this purpose, the committee, headed by G. M. Harris ’27, has sel ected from a wide list some of the most outstanding speakers in the country. The men chosen have inter cuts in separate fields so that the stu dents will have the opportunity of gaining Christian viewpoints, given from different backgrounds. Dr. Henry 11.

Donaldson ’27, who has taken rharge of the deputation work for the coming year, explains the type and purpose of the activity as follows: • “The deputation work of the Penn State Y. M. 0. A. is only one of the many endeavors which the “Y” is at tempting to perform and without a •doubt this work is entirely new to a great many students. Visit Communities “The object of the deputation work is to visit rural communities with a group of select men from the campus .md put on a varied program of enter tainment and also to develop a deeper ■cligious feeling. A deputation team : s composed of from eight to ten men, some of whom have the ability to en tertain and others who are qualified to speak on some religious or rural problem. 1 • “Dates for the program of this year have not ; been definitely set but the following communities are under con sideration: Centre Hall, Spring Mills, Rcbersburg, Howard, Port Matilda ami Grays Church. The idates and pro grams are being worked out with the help of J. B. Payne,'county vocational supervisor, who is actively engaged in rural organization work and is widely known and liked throughout the county. Spends Two Days “A deputation team spends the week end in a community. It begins its program with a community gathering Saturday evening. Talks on current topics ami musical entertainment con stitute- the schedule. On Sunday the team handles both morning and even ing services at the churches. “The chief object of the work is to draw the younger people of the com munity into closer relations and ac quaint them with the every-day prob lems and instill in them a spirit of service. The deputation work is cli maxed by the Older Boys’ Conference which is held annually at the College. About onehundrod boys of high school age gather here for the first visit to a college campus.” • “World Education means, not some far off project in the south seas, but the bringing, on Ibis campus, of a consciousness of the real and vital problems which are facing the brains of the world today.” M.

M. C. A. and the chur ches made known the opportunities in their various fields to the first year men. “The employment of a secretary to follow up this formal opening pro gram is a recent development in the work of the Christian Association. The entire time of one man is given to the freshmen, and a program is carried on among them which is in dependent of the general “Y” work, though directed 'toward the same ends, and performed in the same spirit as the latter. Interviews Freshmen “The freshman secretary holds reg ular office hours, which are occupied by scheduled appointments for inter views with the freshmen. In this way it is possible to make the per sonal acquaintance of almost every lreshman, ami often to discover their personal difficulties and interests, as well as to offer outlets of their activ ity. “An important feature of the fresh man work is the organization of a number of groups for Bible Study and ihe creative discussion of college problems. These will be lodu by cap able upperclassmen who have been trained for the work. These groups will help in. a social way also, giving opportunities for wider acquaintance and fellowship among the freshmen.
