The Association of Colleges and SecondarySchools of the Southern States met December1-4 at Montgomery, Ala. About three hundredrepresentatives from the various southern jschools attended the convention. President Wal-ter L. Lillgle represented Davidson College at |

the conference.Dr. Charles A. Brown, president of the as-

sociation, delivered the main speech. DoctorBrown is associate superintendent of the publicschools of Birmingham, Ala., and has rendered,invaluable service in the advancement of thepublic school system.

During the convention the delegates visitedthe Tuskeege State Normal and Industrial In-stitute at Tuskeege, Ala. When they were gra-ciously viewed by President Morton, the 2,200students were gathered together and the dele-gates were entertained with songs. This is aninstitution established for the education of ne-groes in lcSSO by Ml act of the Alabama Legis-lature. The institution does a large amount ofextension work. It has a medical school, a min-isterial school, a school of agriculture and in-dustry and teaches practically all other suh-jects of interest to students. It aims to changepublic opinion and turn the attention of the peo-ple in the direction where there is hope forthem. It encourages better methods of farmingand so induces the people to stay on the soil althe school. Dr. I.ingle stated that he met DrPowell, who has done such valuable wortin connection with the peanut and sweet |w.

our church give last year to For-eign Missions?

2. What is the missionary aim of our

church?3. Where are our forces centered?4. How many mission stations do we

have?5. How many missionaries represent

our church?6. What is the native membership of

The "ThousandDollar Goal" is the outgrowth of the,,two objectives outlined below:

1. EDUCATIONAL:a. To inform the Student Body con-

cerning the Mission Stations of ourChurch.

b. To enlarge our vision of the uni-versal need for Christ. To show theeffect of Christian Missions in thepast and the opportunities of thepresent.

c. To inform ourselves concerningthe Executive Committee of For-eign Missions.

d. To call our attention to the localobjective.

2. SPIRITUAL:a. To call attention to the Divine

Commission.To encourage individual acceptanceand response.

b. To create a spirit of sacrificialgiving.

c. To enrich our individual lives andour campus life by giving a lightfrom our torch to those in thenight of despair.

The tntcr-Fraternity Undergraduate < ouncilheld its annual conventipn in New York onNovember 27 and 28. Rd Kuykendall was chosen

by the Pan-Hellenic Council to represent Da-vidson fraternities at tlie convention. The ses-sions were held in the Pennsylvania IIntel,

where many i.f the vital problems "f the fra-

ternities were discussed. A few intcrestinR andinforming talks were heard, but the main fea-ture was the open forum discussion at whichtime such problems were discussed as rules forrushing season, co-operative buying for fra-ternity boarding houses, substitutes for "hellweek," means of discipline of Freshmen, andabove all. the importance of scholarship in thefraternity. It was brought out that, along with

social activities, the- fraternities should stress

scholastic work and also extra-curricular activi-. tics.The Council convenes every year around

,Thanksgiving for the definite purpose of elis-icussing such current problems. Ed Kuykendall'stated that tins year's convention seemed to he'a most successful one and that he is sure thatnot only himself but also all the other delegatesprofited greatly from the program of talks and'discussions.

.Davidson s honor system is tar renowned oe-

cause it is known to lie a working system. Seldomdoes there come a time when the honor of anyDavidson man is questioned. And Davidson isproud of her reputation along this line; it is oneof her most treasured traditions. Davidson menhold it their highest duty and privilege to upholdthis tradition.

1here are many colleges and universities wnicn

have tried unsuccessfully to have the honor sys-tem. It is therefore a great tribute to Davidsonthat she is able to have such a system with littledifficulty.

Yet to have an efficient honor system mere

must be honor in small things as well as in largermatters. A small infraction is in reality as badas oneof the major breaks,in so far as the pres-ervation of the system is concerned.

*T-t« l-*k" 1

The Davidson btudents Store nas, in tne last

eight years, made a total profit of around eightthousand dollars. It seems that, with all the tradethe students give to their store, the profits shouldl>e more than a thousand dollars a year. The lossthat occurs may be attributed to several differentcauses

— small marginof profit, highoperating ex-penses due to the salaries paid to the clerks, lackof continuous operation, and various other causes.

Tint it is certain that a part of this loss is dueto the failure of some men to pay for things theyobtain from the store. These articles may be smalland it seems at the time to mean nothing to pickup an extra cracker, another piece of candy, orget a package of cigarettes, without paying forthem. IHit in figuring the results we must con-sider the fact that there are over six hundred menin the student body, and that if each one did this,the total wouldlie enormous. Aside from this factwemust realize that weare not keeping our honorin small things.

Let's make the phrase, "You are dealingwithyourself," really mean something!

Those who think that the expression, Oh, yeah,

i. something verymodern will be surprised to learn

that It is not in the lea.t up to date and >. in fact

1,500 ye~.old. According to MaxJ^"'S«P.'-inte-dent of Engli.h in the Newark Public School.,Beowulf, about 500 or 600 year, after CM* wouldhave said "yeah." He add. that our "yeah u the, "yea" of the Bible. Anglo-Saxon authorities say that

| the letters y-e-a would have been pronounced yeah

in that language.

A short time ago the spectators in the Traffic Courtof New York were amused when the case of Hammagainst Rolls was called. A certain Albert Rolls had

received a ticket for illegal parking from PatrolmanHenry P. Hamm. Rolls was fined three dollars.

Supreme Court Justice William F. Bleakley of NewYork is very much against "publicized football games"

at Sing Sing. He said recently, "I am in favor of health-ful exercises within the prison walls but when you

advertise convicts and make heroes out of them theeffect is generally bad." The justice added that it was"particularly incongruous' that a game between the con-

j victs and a police department should be widely adver-i tised.

Vienna was astonished recently upon learning thatthe document which is the basis of the Austrian Re-public's liberation from the rule of the Hapsburgsno longer exists. This document was aletter of abdi-cation signed by the Emperor Karl in 1918. It waslost with thousands of other documents when theVienna Palace of Justice was burned by a mob on

July IS, 1827. It is ironical that it should have beendestroyed by the extreme Left revolutionary mobwhich, incensed over the acquittal of two Heimwehrmembers who had killed two people taking part in

a Socialist procession, burned the Palace of Justiceand thus destroyed the basic charter of the AustrianRepublic.■««»

The British Government recently purchased from thePlane Speaker Corporation a loud speaker with whichit intends to spread good-will over the empire. The ap-paratus consists of powerful amplification tubes and aloud speaker which magnify the voice a million times.It is possible with the use of this device to make thevoice heard from the altitude of 3,000 to 4,000 feet. Itis the intention of the Air Ministry to use this methodto spread good-will in India and other colonial posses-sions.

The number of individualshaving incomes for tax-ation of over one million dollars dropped from 513in 1929 to 149 in 1930. There were 6,152 persons in1930 having an income of more than one hundredthousand dollars as compared with 14,701 in the pre-ceding year. This just goes to show that the depres-sion isn't over yet, at least not in the United States,and a much larger drop in incomes is expected forthe year of 1931.

Only 141 days after it was inaugurated the Consti-tutional Cortes of Republican Spain completed voting onthe Constitution, a document designed to transform afeudal monarchy into a modern state. From its first ar-ticle declaring "Spain is a republic of the workers of allclasses,' to its last section it is designed to erect themost modern of all states.

In this constitution the Catholic Church is declared toI no longerrbe the state religion of Spain and that it is ai "secular""state.

The Finnish Government has asked the Diet to au-thorize/a referendum- to cletcrmine—whether they shallcontinue prohibition, repeal the laws outright, or adopta policy of modification. It seems that Finland is hav-ing the same experience with prohibition as the UnitedStates. It is having a destructive influence upon the lawsof the country. There has been an increase in drunken-ness and in crimes of violence. A special criminal pro-fession has grown up because of the situation created byprohibition and the judicial system of the nation hasbeen endangered.

According to Professor Carl G. Gaum of RutgersUniversity the sure index of a man's intelligence islaughter.

"Tell me what you laugh at and 111 tell you yourmental age," he said. "Laughter is an indication ofintelligence, and of alldegrees of laughter, the laugh-ter at oneself rates the highest.

"A moron, a half-wit, even an idiot, can laugh atother people's mishaps; the man who can laugh ata superstition, a custom, a tradition, an institution,must be an observer; but the man who can genu-inely laugh at himself is truly intelligent."

Varsity Wrestling IearnShows Good Prospects

Varsity wrestling prospects for this ycir lookvery good with 1-1 men out, of which numberthree are lettermeu from last year's squad, andthree others are numeral men from last year'sFreshman squad.

The men who have reported to date areWhitlield, McFlrath, Gorham, Taylor, Harrison,Hodges, Ashcraft, Tyack, Graham. Beacham,Curric. Wilson, Rice, CorTiin. In addition tothese, Conway, captain of last year's team, isexpected to report \vithju the next few daysalong with several men wily have not reportedas yet on account of football.

Coach Doc Unger reported that the squad isprogressing very well in its practices, and thathe is well satisfied with the work that the var-sity men did with the Freshmen while he wascoaching the Freshman football team for itslast game.

At the present time four meets have beenarranged: V. P. I. at Blacksburg, V. M. I.here, Washington and lee here, and Duke atDurham. In addition to these, there will Ie twoor three more matches arranged for che var-sity, to bring the entire number of matches upto six or seven.

It is also hoped that a pre season match canbe arranged with some state Y M. C. \. be-tween the Christmas holidays and the examina-tions.

1hirty-three men constitute the large-sized

iqtiad from which the Freshman wrestling teamwillbe taken. These men arc Anderson, Adams.Batte. Douglas, Donigian, Baton, Ferguson,Griffith, Gregory, Hanrahan, Jones, Kimhrell,Lee, Maynard, McCall, Ncill. Owen! Oghurn,Paine, Quarterman, Rozelle, Sprunt. Smoll-ridgc, Shumate, Smith, Taylor, Vass, Voegtlin,Withers, White, Garrctt Lucas, and Northern.There are several other men out also whosenames have not as yet been listed.

On last Thursday night the squad had five-minute bouts. At this time there was muchinterest shown, and considerable improvementon the part of some men. However, so fewpractices had been held that it was impossibleto form any definite conclusions from thesematches as to the relative ability of the con-testants.

Up to the present time Coach Unger has letany man so wishing to come out for the squad.He will work with the entire number unt'lChristmas. Then at that time he will cut downthe squad to about two teams, in order thatthe men might get more personal attention andthereby learn the sport more quickly.

At present only one match has been arrangedfor the Freshmen. In this match they will meetthe Duke Freshmen when the two varsitiesmeet in Durham.

However, negotiations are being made withGreensboro High, Salisbury High, and Oak-Ridge for additional matches.

Davidson s \V ilitkittens took a 1J-U verdict1 over the Tar Babies from the University of

North Carolina last Saturday. The contest, a'charity affair, was held on the athletic field of

1 Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory. June Smath-ers, plunging Davidson halfback, was the biggun in the day's proceedings.

The victory fur the 'Kittens was a clean-cut win.and showed in a decisive manner theirsuperiority over the hoys from Chapel Hill, whothreatened to score but once, this threat com-ing in the second canto, and being stopped onthe Davidson two-yard marker when the whistlesounded for the half.

For the Tar Babies. Martin and Jacksonshowed up well in the backfield, and RalphGardner was a bulwark of strength in the for-ward wall. Martin's punts were particularlyout-standing. The red-jcrseyed boys were somewhathandicapped by the loss of three regular backs,Mackorell. Hutchins. and Winfield. who werenot able to be in uniform due to injuries. How-ever, the entire Davidson aggregation playedinspired football, and in spite of a fortnight'slayoff, put up an offense that Carolina foundimpossible to stop. Neither were they vulner-able on the defense, due especially to Morgan'swork on the Hank, and Calon's line hackingextraordinary. Smathers proved the most adeptat running the ball, scoring both touchdowns.Caton made the lone extra point on a line buck.

Davidson made eleven fust downs to threefor North Carolina, Carolina's passing attackfailed to function, and many good passes fromthe hand of Jackson were grounded which, ifcompleted, wouldhave been good for first downsmi numerous occasions. Nevertheless the Da-vidson Freshmen had the superior ball club byfar. and the two touchdown margin does not

fully indicate the decisive manner in which theTar Babies were defeated.

luesaay atternoon, December n. tin- sopho-mores won the inter-class volley hall tourna-ment by playing the deciding game with theJuniors. Tin's was a very exciting gamethroughout, and there was some very goodplaying shown on both sides.

During the tournament the Seniors and theSophomores played five games each, and theFreshmen and Juniors played six games each.Out of this number, the team which won thegreatest number of games was to be given thechampionship.

In the tournament last year, the Seniors wonfirst place by winning four out of six gamesand losing two. The Juniors came in secondwith three wins and as many losses. TJic Soph-omores and the Freshmen tied for last place,each winning one game and losing five. Thistournament also was very well played and fur-nished many thrills.

In the teams this year. Bennet Mosely iscaptain of the Seniors, John Boyd beads theJuniors. T. Hook McCallie the Sophomores,and "Duke" Glasgow is the captain of theFreshmen. There have been no regular teams.

There was a great deal of interest taken inthe tournament, both by the players and therest of the student body. The tournament lastedabout three weeks as it was necessary to Iioldthe games over on many occasions- due to theheavy rains. Much rivalry was shown in all thegames, hut in all cases it was of the mostfriendly nature. This rivlary made the gamesvery much more interesting, even though therewas no bitter feelings between the teams.

J lie headlmer ot several post-season chanty

affairs which grouped players of North Caro-lina's Big Five schools was wonby the Duke-Carolina combination. The universities' aggre-gation was victorious over the Wake Forest-Davidson-State forces by a 14-0 score.

Five thousand football fans willing to do theirshare in aiding charity paid their way into

. Duke Stadium to see the cream of North Car-olina football players in action in one contest.Fifty-nine players from the five schools tookpart in the game, the winners using one lessthan the losers.

Great defensive work on the part of bothaggregations marked the contest until the finalperiod when the Duke-Carolina team managedto score two touchdowns. The first score cameon a short pass from Nick Laney, Duke half-back, to Rip Slusscr, Carolina back, who racedten yards to cross the goal. Carolina's famousquarterback, Johnny Branch, converted theextra point.

Duke-Carolina's second touchdown came inthe closing minutes of the game when BillCrown, Carolina back, intercepted a Wake-Davidson-State pass and sprinted 80 yards tocross the goal line. Kid Brewer made the extrapoint good.

Another score made by Kid Brewer after a64-yard run was nullified when the Duke-Car-olina aggregation was penalized for holding.

Both teams worked well and executed veryfew bad plays despite only two days of prac-tice together. The losers, however, presentedthe best all-around play and offered an oppo-sition which stopped Johnny Branch, Rip Slus-scr, Kid Brewer, Jewell Mason, and NickLaney,all-statebacks. The losers also presenteda line which overshadowed a Duke-Carolinaline which contained no less than six all-statefirst team players. This is confirmed by thefact that the Duke-Carolina backs v.ereable togain only 30 yards from scrimmage while los-ing 27 yards, or a net gain of only three yardsfrom scrimmage.

On the other hand, the Wakc-Davidson-Statebacks gained 125 yards while losing 26 fromscrimmage. The losers also made more firstdowns than the winners by gathering 12 to 4by the Duke-Carolina combination.

Duke-Carolina got the better of the aerialattacks presented by the two teams. The win-ners completed four passes of 12 tried for 94yards, while the losers completed six out of20 for 66 yards. Kach team intercepted twopasses.Duke-Carolina also had an advantage in punt-

»'S and punt returns, collecting 40 yards to thelosers' 12. Penalties against each team werefew.Charlie Pearce,Davidson halfback who start-

ed in the Wake-Davidson-State line-up, re-ceived a shoulder injury on the second play ofthe game, after he had gained 15 yards aroundend. This was the only casualty of the contest.

Eight Davidson men donated their servicesfor the contest and each saw some action dur-ing the game. Doc Mathis, Steve Brown, andCharlie Pearce were in the starting line-upwhile Bud Raker, Jack Wagner, Buddy Gard-ner. Pi Conway, and Don King performed agreat part of the game.

Not havingbeen able to witnett the Uuke-

Wolf-Heel-Cat-Deamon royal mixup, weknow nothing except by hearsay, but what

1 we have heard and read wu a plenty. It'

teems that all the Davidson representatives' acquitted themselves nobly in the name of' charity, adopting the slogan, "All for char-' ity," as their battle-cry, and, forgetting that

their compatriots were former enemies,' united themselves with the stars from State' and Wake Forest to form a cosmopolitan

but compact eleven. And there in the hugeDuke Stadium, fans were privileged to view

' the churning* and boilings of the football1 melting pot of North Carolina.t

We read that Brown and Matllis were" outstanding for the college team, while King

also received much commendation. It liasbeen reported that King was throwingpasses like baseballs all over the stadium.

And to have beaten the Carolina TarBabies 13-0, the Freshmen must also have

< p'ayed a whale of a game. Those who wit-nessesd the game up at Hickory say thatthe Wildkittens outplayed the CarolinaFresh in every department and should havescored a dozen more touchdowns. It seems

1 that the boys were on a rampage, with Bum-garner and Smathers in the bac.kne!d, and

1 Siewers and Morgan in the line, outstand-ing.

The boys were plowing through the linelike nobody's business and were all over thegovernor'; son, "The Guv," as he was affec

i! tionately nicknamed, like a wet blanket. Letit be said, however, that the "Guv" playeda good game and took the razzing like a

Just as this issue went to press, we learnedof a very amusing incident 'which occurredat the charity game at Duke which mightinterest some of our readers. It seems thatComisky, upon charging at the universityteam line, was taken back six yards by'Ersler and deposited none too gently uponthe unyielding turf. Then, to make mattersworse, when Comisky got up again, Erslerimmediately jumped on him again, causinghim to hit the turf a second time in almostas many seconds. This unwarranted treat-ment aroused the fighting ire of Comisky,and, picking up the pigskin, he hurled itswiftly at the offending Ersler about sixyards away and as the ball cracked Erslar'sdome, it bounced at least ten yard* in theair. Needless to say, the stands howled.

Dr. M. C. S. Noble, 1870 alumnus of Da-vidson, was signally honored last week whenhe was presented with the Mayflower SocietyCup, awarded to the best work written duringthe year by a North Carolinian. The cup wasthe first ever to he presented, and was awardedthis distinguished Davidson alumnus and edu-cator at the closing session of the Nortli Caro-lina Literary and Historical Association.

The handsome cup was given to Dr. Noblefor his book, "A History of the Public Schoolsof North Carolina," a work which created con-siderable favorable comment when it first camefrom the press, and describes the story of thedevelopment of public education in this state.

In making the presentation, Josephus Dan-iels described Dr. Noble as "the eldest of fiveimmortals who have written glorious chaptersin the history of public education in the state."Since announcement was made of the award,many of the North Carolina newspapers havecommented editorially upon the wisdom of thechoice made by the Mayflower Society.

After leaving Davidson, Dr. Noble enrollecat the University of North Carolina. 1le becamesuperintendent of the public schools at Wilming-ton in 1882, where he remained for 16 yearsMore he became affiliated with the Schoolof Education of the University of North Caro-lina, in which capacity he has served eversince. In 1913 he was made dean of his depart-ment. He has been frequently called the "grandold man" of education in North Carolina."

Forty-eight Davidson College alumni areteaching in 26 different preparatory schools,junior colleges or orphanages, according to a

survey which ffite been completed in the alumnioffice at Davidson. The territory covered ex-

tends from Texas in the Southwest to Massa-chusetts in the East, and extends in the Mid-west as far as Kentucky. It includes institu-tions in 11 states.

Ernest Milton, who made the survey, pre-pared it from records in the alumni office, and

states that he will give the names of additionalDavidson alumni who arc connected with pre-paratory schools if any have been omitted. Thisis supplementary to the tabulation made lastfall, and includes more institutions than thosereviewed one year ago.

It is significant that the majority of thealumni in this work are from the more recentclasses, for 37 of them have graduated in classesthat finished here since June. 1023. The classof 1030 has the major representation, since 11of its mctnhcrs are engaged in this endeavor.

Coaches Confess

Turning out good football teams is a seriousbusiness in this day and age, hut the mentorshave time for their chuckles just the same,according to an article, "The Coaches Confess,"published in the January College Humor.

Almost a new slant is given on the old gamewhen leading coaches like Stevens of Yale,Zuppke of Illinois, Warner of Stanford, Kerrof Colgate, Bible of Nebraska, Cavanaugb ofFordham, Ingwerson of Iowa, and Madigan ofSt. Mary's tell their funniest experiences.

As an example, Coach Zuppke tells this one:"Just before the game I said, 'Nobody comes

out until he is dead.'"This ultimatum apparently had good effect

and it wasn't necessary to make a substitutionuntil late in the last quarter when one of theregular linemen was disabled. Our trainer wentout and worked on him but it was clear hewouldhave to leave the game."Ihurried out a big, inexperiencedsubstitute.

He went over to the place where the disabledlineman was still stretched out, bent over himand then came running off the field back to thebench."

'Why didn't you stay out there?' Iyelled atthe sub."

'Why, Zup, you said nobody left the gamebut a dead man and he's still breathing!'

Small Deputation VisitsBanner Elk for Week-end

We have it on reliable authority .that theexcellence of Sam Wiley's first sermon deliv-ered at Banner Elk a month ago accounted forhis being called back the past week-end to fillthe Lees-McRae College pulpit. Accordingly,he and Horace Ervin set out on Saturday aft-ernoon (the latter to render a violin solo) forthe distant junior college, and unless you callbeing stuck on a lonely mountainside for twohours with a burned-out coil a mishap, theyarrived without casualty.

Wiley spoke Sunday morning and evening.His morning sermon was built around Job'sreference to God's thunderous power, while inthe evening he talked on Obligations, it beinga prelude to a short pageant which the under-graduates had worked up on "Immigration."The dependence of immigrants and foreignerson the Christian evangelical work of Americawas the theme.

Ervin played at both these meetings.9 mi,■ J. ■«ya*M>T«»>«o» compwr

Mount Holyoke CollegeStudents Aid in Relief

South Hadley, Mass.— (IP)— Several hun-dred dollars were secured for the relief of un-derfed children last week when the women stu-

dents ;it Mount Holyoke College, all 1,050 ofthem, ate bean* and lamb stew in place of theregular menu.

The students had their choice of beans andbrown bread, or lamb stew with biscuits. Themeal took the place of the regular Sundaychicken dinner and tixin's.

Relief

Prof.Beaty SpeaksToMinisterial Band

Prof. K. A. Beaty, of the Latin Department,■ addressed the Ministerial Band at an informal|meeting Sunday afternoon. Professor Beaty

\ spoke on the subject of "The Kingdom ofHeaven." He took up four phases of the King-dom. First, he discussed the place of the King-dom of Heaven, bringing out the fact that theKingdom is within one's self and is a conditionof spiritual citizenship. Next he disclosed thenature of the Kingdom, stating that it is a

" spiritual subjective experience.He then further' stated that the Kingdom can be approachedonly by spiritual means. His last phase was"the duty of every minister." Under this topicbe stated that it is a minister's duty to preach

4 of the Kingdom of Heaven to a social groupand not only to the individual.

Davidson Glee ClubTo Render Concert

The Davidson College Glee Club will givea concert in Pinchurst on the night of Decem-ber 1". The Glee Club has rendered a fewnumbers in chapel and they also expect to givea concert here at Davidson some time in thenear future. The club this year is under thedirection of William Rule, III, and GeorgePardington is business manager.

The tentative program for the Pinehurst con-cert is as follows:

Glee Club will present three groups of songs.Sunnyland Serenaders will play two groups

of popular numbers.The quartet will render a selection.A skit.A solo by George Pardington.Horace Irving will play a violin solo.

There has been no Carnegie report this yearIto stir up the college football question, but it'sIbeen stirred up just the same, in the East atleast, by the students themselves. In a numberof eastern colleges— and even in same highschools — the squabble has been between thefootball squads and their ardent supporters, andthe student newspapers, backed by their ad-mirers.

The firstnotable shell was tired by Reed Har-ris, former 215-pound football player, now ed-itor of the Columbia University Spectator, whowrote a series of editorials to the effect thatthe Columbia gridders were more or less un-derwritten by wealthy alumni. Members of thesquad immediately presented themselves at theSpectator office and offered to lick Harris ifhe printed any more such stories. Harris almostliterally thumbed bis nose at the players, andwent on printing his accusations, drawing moreand more support from not only students butmany nlumni as well.

This raised such a furor that Dean ChristianGauss of Princeton let it be known that so faras he could ascertain all football players in thecountry were supported directly or indirectlyby alumni nr other interests. He intimated that,as Chief Justice Hughes once said. "You can'thave an honest horse race until you have anhonest human race."

MR. DAVID OVENS

(Continued from page 1)cording to Mark. The passage was one of theteachings of Christ, the parable of the sower.Christ told of the sower who sowed seed inall kinds of ground. Various things happenedto prevent the seed from producing. The seedrepresented the Word which was given to va-

i rious men, some of whom soon lost it, some of'whom tried to spread it, and some of whomtook it and used it to the advantage of theKingdom.

Mr. Ovens took as his topic, "Negative versusPositive People." His first statement was thatIonly a very few people take a thinking part inthe world. Thinking is an extremely difficultjob. Another extremely hard job is to fightalone against the world. Those who do this!should be remembered as much or more thanthose people who are cheered on into the fightunder the eyes of many supporters. The formershow true heroism; while it doesn't take asmuch heroism to fight with everyone in yourj favor.

"Negative Christians" were described by MrOvens as those who pride themselves on whatthey do not do. These people think they aredoing well because they do not commit the va-Irious offenses and sins to which man is sub-ject. They do not realize thai the world is notinterested in what a man does not do, but it isinterested in what a man does. "Positive Chris-tians" are those who do something. One of tingreatest of these was Paul. He had been per-secuting the Christians, but when he was con-verted, he did not ask Christ if he should sloplus present activities. He asked Christ whatHe wanted him to do. Paul was not contentwith not doing wrong, but wanted to do right.Mr. Ovens then told ,,f t |H. p,.,,p|t. tint arewanted in the business world of today. Theymust not be neutral, but must be either positiveor negative. The neutral ones are a nuisance toisociety. Business wants the kind of person whois straightforward and honejt, the kind ,,f p,-,-.son who can stand confidence, the kind whoCan be measured and whr.s, i,,;,,,,, ,.,.,„ |l(. ,

determined. The world is interested in whatyou do, not in what you do not do.

In his final thought, Mr. Ovens told the Da-vidson students that they are going out intothe world, inspired and educated by their stayat Davidson. They will go into a world brokenby the depression, with many timid souls andmany worn-out persons, fighting to keep go-ing. Their job and their privilege is to usetheir inspiration from Davidson and help nurse

I the timid and weak souls hack to confidence.J They are called to give a new exhibition ofcourage, as much courage as was shown by theparticipants in the great war.

themselves to books available to those by whomthe review is read. Here is a fine bit of his-tory and biography in our own library andshort enough to read on a Sunday afternoon.Vandercook, who makes a specialty of thenegro, and who writes in a fascinating man-ner, is familiar to many readers of the "Na-tional Geographic" and "Harper's." His excel-lent story, Djombc Ri-.rr, appeared in this lastnamed magazine several years ago.

The title page of Black Majesty states thatthe book is a life of Christophe, King of Haiti,but actually it is a gripping story of three trulygreat black men. Accounts of the rise and fallof Toiissaint L'Ouverture and bis friend JeanJacques Dessalines are necessary as a back-ground for the remarkable story of Christophe.

At this juncture. Dr. Pierson went into anexplanation of what these selective education-ists propose. "This proposition would he accom-panied liy a drastic reorganization of the tradi-tional curriculum in the directirtTi of utilitarianinstruction designed; it is claimed? better to fiti person for life under present circumstances."They would do things to such traditionalsubjects as Kramniar, foreign languages, mathe-natics and history, which they think of as^eadvood. The curriculum is described by them asetish. Is this reasoned conclusion based uponI"' fear th.it the American public has been.versold<>n education? After lo,,K and expansiveurveys they will set up the new courses in theeaching of new teachers' how to teach."

IDr. Pierson asked if this line of thought waslot by way of a confession a plea fur exonera-

"We are warranted." strongly spoke the uni-"ersity dean, "in the .lemand that schools ofduration shall clean house before they disrupt

'onstrateel value." I

Dr. I'ierson quoted extensively the thought Iof leading educationists in America on the sub- Ijeel of schools of education, and told of how Ithey overlapped. It was best demonstrated, he .1believed, by the Chinese student who exclaimed,11"I took Education 50; I took Education 5!; {

■I took Education 52. All alike. I take no ITurning to his proposed plan. Dr. Pierson]]

elaborated upon the interdependence of the nrad- j j'uate schools, the colleges and the secondary Ischools. "The college depends upon the second-,:ary schools for properly trained students, and I"likewise -the graduate school upon the toMi-Re. jj l!y the same token, the college and "the sec- jondary school depend upon the graduate scl II

j for trained and prepared teachers and for the Iresearch which quickens and expands knowledge.

"I am urging," he continued, "'experience forour teachers which in the end will give them

jmastery of the subject matter of a defined field jand an acquired, cultivated faculty of compre- j(lending the ways and means by which the ma-dtennis of a subject have been assembled as a Ibody of knowledge. \

"The time will come, we hope, when our!|schools will have in their faculties as large allproportion of teachers, so trained, as have those1 1states of Massachusetts and California, or any 5other state or section," but the early part of his 5address clearly indicated that the constant repe- Itition requirements in educational methods was j

.not supplying the teachers today. jUpon the conclusion of Dr. I'ierson's fine ad- 'dress, a banquet was held, at which Dr. J. M. IMcConnell presided as toastmasjer. Dr. McCon- Ihell called on T. W. McLean. Dr. Charles B. IRobson of the Department of History at the !University of North Carolina, Dr. John W.
