Home demonstration agents from North and South Carolina are in Charlotte for a two-day course of instruction in the line of their duties as home demonstration agents. They are at the courthouse, where demonstrations in hat-making will be the principal features. Miss Nan Alexander of Hamilton Millinery company, an expert in hat-making, is in charge of the demonstration. Here for the court of instruction are Miss Maude Wallace, assistant in home demonstration work, with headquarters at Raleigh; and Miss Martha Creighton, demonstration agent in home demonstration in the Piedmont district, headquarters in Greensboro. Miss Marian Davis, home demonstration agent for Mecklenburg county, is in charge of the local arrangements for the meeting.
The course of instruction is intended to give the home demonstration agents a knowledge of the principles necessary to be understood in teaching inexpensive hat-making, a duty which most of the home demonstration agents perform in their several counties.
Agents were arriving here Tuesday morning and it was expected before the day was over many would be here. Among those who had arrived early Tuesday morning or Monday night were Miss Annie Lee Rankin of Buncome county, formerly home demonstration agent of Mecklenburg county; Miss Kathleen Wilson of Cabarrus county; Miss Martha Creighton of Greensboro, district agent; Mrs. Wells, Miss Gertrude Alexander, Miss Rachel Speas, Miss Myrtle Keller, Miss Elizabeth Gairy, Miss McDonald, Miss Pickens, and Miss Adna Edwards.
