The prospect is good for the building of the Alumna and Society Hall. The plan of forming branch Associations in the larger towns promises well both as an advantage to former students and as an aid to Shorter ' s growth. One of the strongest graduates has been se- lected by the college to visit Atlanta, Macon and other cities where old Shorter girls are leaders in civic, social and philanthropic life, and form them into chapters. If this plan can be carried out, it will mean a great step forward for dear old Shorter. At the first general meeting of the Association this year, the Treas- urer of the Building Fund, announced that over one hundred dollars had been added since commencement from enterprises carried on by individ- ual members. The cook book, Sweets and Savories, has proved a suc- cess in every way and has in spite of its low price netted a good sum. Thanks to the general advertising of our Rome merchants. If the cook- ing school can be arranged for the Association we shall feel that it is do- ing its part toward showing that the educated woman is the successful home-maker. Surely every Southern college for women should strive to graduate students of trained intelligence, capable of excellency in all lines, but chiefly in that unique position which the housekeeper alone is expected to fill, namely that, where the craftsman ' s workshop is the place of rec- reation for her patrons. No one but the home-maker is expected to carry on constant, tedious, hard work in an atmosphere which shall at all times be at once a rest and a stimulus to those whose work takes them from home. Are the props of religion and of education too many to uphold one in this task to which anv woman may be called at anv time.
