Teen Age Chatter
By Dorothy Green
Time to turn to the old teen
age chatter. There is not much
you don’t already know but there
may be a fe\v items of interest.
Of course, there was the all
university party held at the Ur
ban League. Details are des
cribed elsewhere in the paper.
The question of the week was
a very simple question to find
out how large your vocabulary
happens to be. The question: if
you discovered a beryl what
would you do with it? 1. roll in
it; 2. wear it on your finger; 3.
eat it; 4. have it lanced. Some
of the answers to this question
were: Geraldine Nettles—have
it lanced; Ruby Harper—wear it
on my finger; Jeanne Ivory—I
would eat it; Mary Bass—wear it
on my finger; Jean Burns—wear
it on my finger; Juliet Hammond
—wear it on my finger. The cor
rect answer, a beryl is a precious
stone so you would naturally
wear it on your finger.
Two of our teen-agers celebrat
ed their birthdays the second of
October. They were Loretta Mc
Williams and Delores Bowen.
Special!
title of “The Teen-Agers of Kan
sas City,” Miss Cleo Shakespeare
of 2817 Highland, Kansas City,
Missouri, will tell us about their
“Teen Age Activity.”
Cleo is 15, and a junior in high
school. She has a sister attend
ing Kansas University in Law
rence. If you desire any infor
mation direct from KU we’ll
make an attempt to contact her.

Our Children
By Mrs. W. B. Davis
The development of an atmos
phere which will foster the child’s
sense of responsibility and set
him free from the inhibitions that
fear generates will enable him to
attain even higher results. From
the standpoint of the educator,
this will entail the creation of the
correct atmosphere around the
child and in this atmosphere cer
tain qualities will flourish and
certain characteristics of respon
sibility and of goodwill will e
merge.
The nature of this atmosphere
is love, where fear is cast out and
the child realizes that he has no
cause for timidity. It is an at
mosphere where he will receive
courteous treatment and will be
expected to be equally courteous
to others. This is rare indeed to
find in school rooms or in homes
for'that matter. This atmosphere
of love is not emotional, senti
mental form of love but is based
upon a realization of the potenti
alities of the child as an individ
ual, upon freedom from prejudice
and racial antagonisms and upon
a true compassionate tenderness.
This compassionate attribute’ will
be founded upon the recognition
of the difficulty of daily living,
upon sensitivity to a child’s nor
mally affectionate response and
upon the conviction that love al
ways draws forth what is best in
anyone.

Howard Has 1,100 Freshmen
Washington (ANP)—More than
1,100 freshmen, representing the
largest freshman class in the his
tory of Howard university, re
porter for registration at the uni
versity on Sept. 24, is was reveal
ed by Dr. James M. Nabrit, Jr.,
secretary of the university, who
predicted that the total enroll
ment this year will exceed 7,000
students.
F. D. W’ilkerson, registrar, sta
ted that the enrollment would be
much higher if the physical facili
ties of the university could ac
commodate a larger enrollment.
He stated that there were 1,250
applications for the college of
medicine, which can accommo
date only 70 students in the enter
ing class; over 700 applications
for the college of pharmacy, of
which only 50 were accepted as
freshmen, and more than 500 ap
plications for the college of den
tistry, which can accommodate
only 50 new students. Similar
problems existed in the school of
law'.
The total enrollment last year
was 7,120 students, of which 4,422
w'ere men and 2,698 were women.
Of the total enrollment, 2,332 are
veterans, including 30 women.
To accommodate, in part, the
potential record enrollment, three
temporary buildings, representing
an expenditure of $220,000, are
being built on the campus. These
buildings should be ready for oc
cupancy before the end of the
first quarter.
Fifty-three new teachers have
been added to the faculty of the
university while six of the uni
versity’s teachers will be on leave
of absence this year.
