Bid you ever stop to realize

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. There is a growing np
picciation of negro spirituals as ev
idenced on our campus last year by
the appearance of the Lincoln Uni
versity Quartet.

Penn State has a reputation of
having-men of ihe highest rank speak
to the students during the year. 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. Tweedy

speakers is Dr. Henry IL Tweedy,

of Philadelphia who is a staunch sup
porter of the Fundamentalist move

New York City will come prepared to
give a message from the angle of the
industrial world. He has been a lead
er in this field for a great many years.

ABOUT DEPUTATIONS
Teams Visit iKdrnl Communities
To Stage Entertainments
. And Services
OLDER ROYS' MEETING
HERE CLIMAXES .WORK
R. B. 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.”

terested first of all in the spiritual af

permanent richness can be found in
spiritual things alone. The churches
are always eager to do their part in
helping students toward spiritual re
ality, and the Y co-operates with them
wherever it -is I possible. •* ' ;
;“Puring freshman week, a mass
meeting was devoted to’ an explana
tion of the agencies of the Christian
Church on the campus, at which time
the College Y. 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.

As has been customary in previous
years, a freshman cabinet will be
formed to take* over the work of or

with the year’s. program. Social?
