TECHNICIAN BEST PAPER
"Archive" Is Selected As The Best
Literary Magazine In
The Slate
Mr. William K. Hoyt, business
manager of t lie Winston-Salem Journal
and widely known newspaper man, ad
dressed the North Carolin Collegiate
Press Association, Thursday night. He
stated thai he believed the general
character and merit of college papers
had greatly improved in the short time
that the Press association had been
functioning.
In newspaper work, it is necessary
to keep the enthusi sra of youth. A
newspaper man cannot afford to get
behind the times, and for this rea
son many older men lose out. A youth
ful mind with its indignation against
wrong, its optimism and its ability to
observe, is essential for a successful
newspaper.
Newspapers need college people. It
was true that for some time, .nd still
in some places today, the college
journalist was looked upon willi suspi
cion. Dr. Freeman defined a journalist
as a "man who borrows money from
a newspaper man, and does not pay it
back." This, however, is not the popu
lar idea at present.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION
IN CUBA IS MORE STABLE
J)r. Binford, in his chapel talk Fri
day, spoke of the political situation in
Cuba. There are three parlies in Cuba.
The first party of which he spoke was
that of the grafters. Another party
is that of the patriots who are ide 1-
ists. A third party wants a peace
ful existence.
In 1907 Palmer was routed from the
presidency by the grafters and since
the United Slates was still interested
in the governmental affairs of Cuba,
Roosevell sent Taft down to sir ighten
things out. But Taft, intending to
run for president, did not wish to
become very deeply involved in the
affairs there, for fear il would hurt
his chances for becoming president.
He. therefore, effected a compromise.
Gomez was the elected president of
Cuba. He was deeply in debt when
he went into office and all his debts
were paid, and §16.000,000 was acc
umulated by him during the four years
he w. s in office. Such has been the
politics in Cuba.
"The president in office now," Dr.
Binford slated, "Seems lo have the
respect and confidence of Ihe people."

FULL OF THE FLORIDA
BOOM DOCTOR BINFORD
RETURNS TO GUILFORD
In his first chapel talk after his
return from a I rip lo Cuba. President
Binford spoke Thursday morning lo the
students about the greal boom in
Florida.
President Binford in his opening
remarks mentioned briefly the greal
California gold-rush which was not
unlike I lie recent rush to Florida. lie
then gave . n impersonation of the real
estate agenls who were trying to sell
homes and lots in "the land of perpe
tual sunshine."
"I met only one man." he said,
"who admitted lhal the boom is over."
The speaker also pictured how the arti
ficial islands which were dredged from
the river bottom were being sold at
S2OOO per lot, even the m ny small
islands along the coast were priced
like precious jewels. In the parks and
in the midst of the developments,
lecturers and speakers are all this
time busily engaged in telling the
people what a, wonderful place Florida
will lie in only a short time.
"It would he almost impossible,"
concluded President Binford, "for one
lo go through with one hundred dollars
without ; real estate man getting it."

DOCTOR BINFORD RETURNS
TO GOILFORD AFTER FOOR
WEEKS IN GURAN MISSION
Spends Month Investigat
ing Educational Sys
tem And Friends
Mission
President Binford has returned
from a fou • week 1 ? trip into tlie island
! of Cuba, where he lias been studying
the conditions existing among the mis
sion schools which are receiving sup
port from the contributions made by
Friends in the United St tes. He was
working according to the direction of
■ lie Friends' Mission Board.
Two things which Dr. Binford is
convinced of are that the best con
nil that the people of the
. i ite.-l States can give to our island
neighbor is to help the educational
situation there, and the best aid that
Friends' can give in their own work in
the island is means by which more
trained natives can be made available
for work ; mong their fellow country
men.
At the present time, the Cubans
have no compulsory attendance laws
for their schools. Oidy 23% of all
the children of intermediate school
lge are enrolled in school, and the
average attendance of those enrolled
is only 66%. In each of the six pro
vinces there is a high school. These
high schools ."re entirely inadequate to
meet the needs of the people. The
National University, situated at Hav
ana, is the only institution of higher
learning in the island. Dr. Binford
states the Friends' have considerable
eduational facilities with their mission
equipment at Holoquin. The Friends'
Board of Missions is working to give
'heir best to the Cub ns along educa
tional lines.
RELIGION MUST BE LIVED
TO BE OF VALUE IN LIFE
Milo Hinkle, pastor of the Asheboro
Street Friend's Church in Greensboro,!
spoke before students and faculty in j
chapel. Tuesday morning, April 27.
The chief theme of his address was, .
"Religion and Life.' The only typ
of religion which appeals to youth is
a life which pays. The test for real
life is to see life relived cfter the pat- |
tern laid down by Jesus Christ.
The tendency of the time is to swing .
with the pendulum and take the i
easiest position on religious questions. |
In closing, Mr. Ilinkle said, "Life with- |
out religion is just as useless- as reli- J
gion without life. It is perfectly pos- j
sible to follow Christ without com- j
promising any of the good things of i
noble living." I

i inound for Ihe past four games with
a sore arm, will be in good condition

, first of the season. Poole, the south
i paw from D. vidson, is expected to
j I urn in some victories for Coach Doak
j against some of the out-of-state teams.
; Both Coltrane and Rabb have shown
what they could do. With these four
Guilford should bring back several
scalps.
