WHAT PRICE EDUCATION!
As Christmas rolls around and your need of
cash constantly grows more paramount your
thoughts of earning power takes on more of
an air of realism. One friend, who long ago
quit school to work for Murry Construction
Company, is now chief paymaster of the best
construction company in the state. He is mak
ing as much a month as 1 shall ever expect
to get.
Or, Tom, a grand old pal who never could
realize the need of knowledge of verbs and
adverbs, is with the "Knit-Close Knitters, Inc.,”
making $45 a week. On goes the parade and
out goes your mind from the halls of knowl
edge to the dreams of the work-a-day world.
Students, please realize that for your friends,
without education and the better things, they
can never hope to gain that pedestal of culture
and quality of intellectuality you are possess
ing. If you have no desire other than work
today, to ride tonight; than read for the sake
of sensual enjoyment; tJian listen for the sake
of an uncultured ear, then you should also give
up all hope of an educated life.
I have not the time nor space to dwell on
the theories of education. However, with the
accepted definition, education is learning to
live, why can we riot spend a brief period of
our lives in reaching the level of living that
we have dreamed of?
Today, you are insignificant, you are weary,
you are pessimistic. Tomorrow, to be a success,
you must dwell deep in the hall of knowledge
and realize that which comes easiest is worth
the least. We live by daily bread. Some live on
as doth the brook flow quietly. Others live pre
paring and gaining momentum to crash the
mighty walls that separate us from the suc
cessful.
GRADES! GRADES!
Now you know whether your roommate is
two points better or worse than you are in
math. In fact, you can appreciate the fact you
are a five-point better student of English than
of French.
Success or failure is not graded in terms of
A, B, C, etc. But success and failure depend
upon your preparation or lack of preparation
to meet realism. Your grades have a thin, yes,
thin and artificial, value of revealing a sup
posedly bit of training for worldly needs.
Look over the grades, do not digest them;
leave them be and strive to get the highest
value from each class recitation. Then, your
C to some may in due time be worth more
than an A to you.
ALCOHOL AND Al'TOMOBILES
By Herman Brady
B. B. Bray, Jr.

Louise Brown
Statistics, show that in the first half of 1934, there
has been a lapid increase in the automobile death
toll in the United States. Superintendent of Police,
John Smith in the home town of the auto, Detroit,
has come to the conclusion that this increase is due
to an increase of speed at which cars are driven
and the increased use of liquor, both by pedestrians
and by drivers. Alcohol does not truly stimulate,
as was long supposed, but dulls and depresses the
nerves which control ph.vsical and mental activities.
What sometimes appears to be increased liveliness
after taking alcohol and was formerly thought to
represent stimulation is, really the effect of culti
vating the nerve centers that exercise control, or
impairing nerves so that nerve impulses take other
than their normal paths, resulting in actions that
look unusual to an observer, and to the drinker
himself may be different from what he expected.
The result may easily be an accident or a serious
mistake.
When you are driving your car down hill if you
lift your brake or it gives way the car may speed ^
faster; there is more activity and less control. |
Similarly the dulling of the nerve# by alcohol is j
the explanation of the drinker’s greater gaiety or
liveliness, of increased talkativeness or gesticula-!
tions, of unnecessary or imperfectly-controlled arms
and legs. Alcohol is a narcotic that not only effects |
the higher attributes such as reasoning and judg
ment, but even steadiness of the hand, quickness of
the eye, range of eye movement, smoothness and
accuracy of co-ordination, alertness in seeing and
reacting correctly to a moving object. All these
qualities are nefeded to handle an automobile suc
cessfully.

moneys as compared with the
present cutting down educational
moneys. The vast need of enlight
enment on a large scale was con
clusively presented by well defined
facts and statistics. In closing Mr.
Bray concluded by pointing out
the need of a sound financial basis
as necessary for a social educa
tional structure.
Miss Wilker teacher in piano,
who had accompanied Mr. Hodges
on the first part of the program,
closed the presentation with the
beautiful “Liebstraum” by Liszt,
and "La Campanella.” Miss Wilker
displayed an unusual amount of
skill and technique in her playing.
The programs will be resumed
soon probably on a twice monthly
basis.

STUDENT OPLNION
At one of our/ recent banquets it was noticed that
when a young lady rose to speak her escort per
mitted her to rise unassisted, and when she had
finished her brief speech, to herself pull back her
chair. Several eyebrows tilted and a faint murmur
of surprise ran along the table; questioning eyes
turned upon her escort.
Of course it was a comparatively little thing but
it was such an incident upon which reputations are
made or impaired. Everyone present knew that this
football player was mannerly, in fact he had been
termed as an instinctive gentleman. Why then, would
such a thing occur? The attitude on»the part of
many males is thoroughly understandable for they
say that this seeming negligence on their part is
an outgrowth of the insistance of the ladies to
their equality to men. Or perhaps since the social
code is more informal while one is at college many
feel that it should be entirely disregarded. But in
spite of our assumed modernisms the feminine ele
ment loves to feel that we still, in a measure at
least, should be accorded the tribute of the man to
the woman—courtesy. It costs nothing to give and
yet many derive pleasure from the thoughtfulness
of it.

TWO VISITING SPEAKERS
A very interesting meeting of
the International Discussions Club
was held Friday Nov. 23. The sub
ject for discussion was the “Ra
cial Question in America”. The
men’s student body was invited to
attend. Chairman for this time
■was Milton Whitfield. Rev. G. C.
Pollard, the only Negro member
on the Executive Board of the
Episcopal Diocese of North Caro
lina, was invited to come and speak
before the club on this topic. He
discussed the relationship be
tween the negro and white races.
He emphasized the point that the
two races should he on different
levels. He pointed out that the
white people were the negroes’
friends and he tried to do all he
could to further that friendship
and to show this friendship. But
he brought out that the Negro did
not desire social equality and that
he was not working for this end.
He brought out many other good
topics along this line.
Mr. R. H. Edwai’ds, the post
master at Goldsboro who was on
a visit to his son R. H. Edwards,
Jr., made a humorous talk on his
life and his life’s work. His dry
wit kept the boys laughing all the
time. He brought out two good
points well-worth noticing. You
can make a success at minding
your own business for you have
so little competition, that it does
n’t pay to be too smart. The boys
all liked his talk very much and
expressed a desire to hear him
again.
