If anyone doubts the ~nticrest in either music or art along the north shore he would be convinced in its favor by a glance at the large and enthusiastic audience which attended the art exhibit and twilight musicale given at Shawnee on Sunday afternoe>n, January 12. Logan-Howard' P. T. A. Notes Unfavorable weather preve.nterl a large attendance at the meeting of the Logan-Howard Parent-Teacher assvciation at the Howard school Tuesday evening, January 14, but those who d~d brave the cold wind were well repaid by an unusually fine program. A group of songs sung by Mrs. Frieda Woodward were thoroughly enjoyed by all. Her selections were "My Lover is a Fisherman," "Will o' the· Wisp, "An Evening Song," and as an enco;e, "The Old Refrain." M1s. Stanley Peterson accompanied at the piano. Dr. Martin H. Bickham gave a most interesting talk on "College Communities and Student Character." There are about one thousand such communiti.es iri the country and this year, approximately one million students are enrolled. No nation has ever attempted to give higher education to such a large proporti.on of its youth. Leadc·s. and leadership naturally come from these institutions of higher education and their inAuence on the. culture of the nation is very great. Dr. Bickham briefly outlined the three culture movements found in our colleges. Puritan culture originating in such sc hools as Harvard and Yale, tidewater culture, coming from pioneer communities, and continental culture from ]·,urope. College life produce s · culture conAicts. The problem is to get the best from all these cultures. Dr. Bickham's advice to parents is to keep cl ose to their children, so they may. respect their love and counsel, to help them understand the proce ss of life, . and to prepare them for the problems th ey must face in living in a college community where the influ ence of their different activities is felt.
