O MUCH for history. From the years “befo’ de Swar” the school has inherited traditions rich in the glory of the old South; traditions which have not been lost even in this high powered, motorized age. In the apt phrase of the present principal, Mrs. H. N. Hills, one of Wellesley’s first graduates, Stuart Hall is “rich in traditions of the past; alive to the needs of the present” . It is the present and future which hold our chief interest, even while we cherish the memories of the past. Located in the heart of a section in which education is the chief rival of apples as a product, Stuart Hall ranks among the best educational institutions of the country. It was said of this school by the dean of admissions of a well known eastern college for women: “Stuart Hall is third on our preferred list of pre paratory schools.” Girls who graduate here have little difficulty in passing college board examinations, and have consistently stood high in their chosen colleges. Stuart Hall is accredited by the Southern Asso ciation of Schools and Colleges. It does not profess to be a junior college; the idea being that it is better SENIORS ON CLASS DAY for a girl to enjoy the benefits of a full four year woman, Mrs. Maria Sheffey, and called The Kalor- course in one of the larger colleges rather than to do ama.

A separation was effected, amicably we hope, and the first of the present group of buildings was begun in the spring of 1846; the corner stone being laid June first “with much cere mony and the order of Masons in procession”. Mrs. Sheffey and Mr. McElroy were succeeded in 1847 by Mr. B. B.

Mr. Smith also manu factures his own basic material. “ Since the Guilds of the Middle Ages made glass” , says Mr. Smith, “ there has been little change in its fabricating. True, we now use a machine drawn ‘came’ lead instead of the hand drawn and whittled out lead, a cutting wheel instead of a hot iron and water for cutting the glass, paper for drawing the cartoons instead of white washed lime board, but the principles are fundamentally the same.” Mr. Smith studied for six years at the Rhode Island School of Design, receiving a travelling scholarship which took him to Europe, observing and sketching the important glass in England and France and the mosaics of Italy.

The Answer of Whitsunday
Weeks elapse before rainfall at the headwaters of a great con tinental drainage system registers where the river enters the sea. A month after Whitsunday the, final total of contributions to the Deficiency Fund is not known at Church Missions House. The indications are that the General Church will receive $325,000 of the amount that is needed to meet an estimated deficiency in income under the reduced budget for 1932. This statement is based on the following figures: Contributions already received...... $167,401.55 Reported but not transmitted...... 50,934.08 Additional assurances...... 82,742.17 Estimated from dioceses not heard from. . 25,000.00
TOTAL...... $326,077.80 This is not a full measure of success (^*) but it represents ear nest effort and genuine sacrifice, and it is sufficient to transform an impossible situation into one which is possible of solution before the end of the year. This hope is justified by the following considerations: (1 ) Further economies in administration of the budget of the National Council. (2 ) The door remains open for additional gifts to the Deficiency Fund throughout the remaining six months of the year. Many are contributing a percentage of their salary in instalments as the salary is received. (3) The receipts from the dioceses on quotas may exceed “ the expectancies” reported last January. In the midst of days of fearfulness and difficulty the people of the Church have met valiantly a desperate situation. Every little brown penny in this offering has a religious lustre.
SURSUM CORD A!
* If sums raised for diocesan emergencies are included, the total given on Whitsunday is nearly a half million dollars.
