GRAHAM, N. C.7 Feb. 10.191 C.
President Wilson should feel
gratified at the outcome so far at the
lead ha is taking in the preparedness
campaign. Of course no great move
ment will meet with unanimous ap
proval. It is perfectly natural for
aome people to disapprove. It is
expected. But when trouble comes,
it is natural, too, and generally hap
pens, that those who disapproved
are loudest in their complaint at the
thing not being done that could and
have been done regardless ol
the opposition.
Standing University N. C. With
Southern Universities
Cor. of The Gleaner.
Chapel 11111, N. 0., Feb. 9th.
Statistics from the 1916 World
Almanac and from the recent re
port of PresidenfGraham to the
Trustees show several very inter
eating facts in regard to the
standing of University of North
Carolina among the other Univer
sities of the South. In the first
gace, tho University of North
trolina stands fifth among
Southern Universities both in re
gard to number of students and
number of instructors.
In regard to the total income
and productive funds of each
University, North Carolina stands
fifth in the total income rank
(with $190,000 yearly) and about
eighth in productive funds. The
rank of the Southern Universi
ties as regards total yearly in
come is aa follows: Texas (2,603
students) $828,000; Virginia $341-
316; Tennessee $293,000; Ala
bama $200,000; Louisiana $193,
000; North Carolina $190,00O;
South Carolina $170,000; etc.
But the table on productive funds
ia still more interesting. In this
Virginia heads the list with $2,-
288,745; Texas $8,085,00: Miss.
$700,000; Alabama (1500 students)
$565,000; Teuuessee $137,000;
North Carolina's endowment
both for general and specific pur
poses, only amounts to $82,594.
The above figures show, for in
stance, that South Carolina with
607 student has a total income of
$170,000, while North Carolina
with 1121 students has but $190,-
000. It also shows that Mississip
pi with tioß students has produc
tive funds amounting to $700,000,
and Virginia with 1002 students
has an income of $344,315 and
productive funds amounting to
$2,288,745, while North Carolina /
ha 55182,594 in productive funds.
In maqy ways the University is
growing and extending its in
fluence. Without increased ap
propriation from tho Stale the
University must rostraiu all
further development and growth
both as to the number of students
and as to all University activi
ties. Owing to lack of dormi
tories over half of the students
are forced to room out in the town
of Chapel Hill. Several of tho
dormitories already erected have
been repeatedly oondomned by the
Insprance Inspectors. Further
more, State Fire Inspector llrock
weM, In hia report, laid stress on
the dilapidated and unsafe condi
tion of the Power Plant and urged
that it be rebuilt immediately.
The need for new lecture halls is
Also urgent And, in order to
make the Summer School what It
■ should be, says Prof. N. W.
Walker, Director of the School,
the present appropriation of $3,-
000 ahould be increased to $lO,-
000.
The Legislature of 1915 did not
Svs the University any funds for
lildiug purposes for this year
nor for next yext; and it gave for
annual maintenance SIO,OOO less
than the .University's urgent
Mods. Aa President Graham
says in his report to the Trustees,
"No criticism Is voiced here for
this policy which the Legislature
regarded as a necessary policy.
It is set down simply as a state
ment of the fact that confronts
our growth and challenges our
thoughtful concern. The question
involved constantly shapes Itself
to this point: how genuinely
great, and bow widely serviceable
does state policy in North Caro
lina consider it actually and
practically desirable for the Uni
versity of the State to become!""

Assignment of the Lesson*
Although it is one of the first
and most fundamental functions
in all the teaching process, the
assigning of the lesson is one of
the least considered. Few authors
mention it at all and few teachers
devote any time to it. Neverthe
less to tell the student to take the
next page or the next lesson In a
subject that is entirely new to
him and then to send hiin to his
seat to learn it is like sending one
into the dark without a guide to
find something that he does not
know. And yet how often the
lesson is assigned iu these words:
"Take the next page; go to your
seat". Such an assignment may
be accompanied by the instructive
remark "and study yout lessons"
or it may not. Too often the next
page is assigned with such inac
curacy that the student reasons a
half page will do as well, and with
such indifference on the part of
the teacher thai the student
knows it makes very little differ
ence on the part of the teacher if
he doesn't get that.
The purpose for assgning a
lesson at all is tliat a certain
amoun of work.*may be properly
prepared b ya student till astated
time, and that at that time, the
student may recite the lesson
learned to the teacher. It is of
no small cosequence to be exact
in the assignment of the lesson.
It means business to know exactly
what you have to do. It quickens
interest in the student when he
knows exactly what is required of
hiin. We usually get from people
about what wo expect. And un
less we expect spniething exactly
from a student we will more than
likely not get anything exactly.
Accuracy begets accuracy. The
lack of accuracy on the part of the
teacher in the assignment of the
lesson begets indeflniteness and
idleness on the part of the stu
dents in the preparation of that
lesson.
It is very true that the teacher
must have due regard for the
length of the lesson |u making the
assignment. It should not be too
long nor too short. To make it
too long burdens the child. If
tho load Is too heavy he becomes
discouraged. He can't properly
prepare, and he finds himself un
derneath instead of on tbp—a
had poaitlon for work and work
that will aount. On the other
hand the lessons should not be
too short. To make the lesson too
short means to do little at most.
Sometlmos when we make a task
too small it dulls interest as much
as to make it too large. And it
often happens in life that we do
not do a small task as well as we
do a large one. But it is a serious
mistake to give a child four pages
for ajUJsjMm-swhen he can't pro
perty fireparevtwo pages. Where
ever it is possible and practical
make the lesson a unit in thought.
But be sure to tell iexactly what
the lesson is and just how it is to
be recited.
An assignment of the lesson
should include an introduction to
that lesson. This may mean giv
ing the setting of tho lesson so the
student may have some knowledge
of intelligent approach. Or it
may mean and often does mean
making the connection between
the old and the new lesson -show
ing how the new is like or unlike
the old, showing how it is old
principles newly applied. Itmay
cousist in pointing out all tho new
thiugs in the new lesson aud their
peculiarities, if they present any,
and how to meet them. For ex
ample the little child who is mak
ing his first way into reading
should be told, or led to find out,
all the new words iu the coining
lettson. The older student should
be shown when he comes to mul
tiplication for the first time ex
actly how to do the thing and also
that it is only a short method of
addition a thing he already knows,
etc., etc, A jocular friend of the
writer once said to him (the
writer): "The reason I never went
to school much I had to pay tho
teacher to teach me and then the
teacher wanted me to study It all
out." Said he: "I didn't want to
do that. I didn't want to pay the
teacher to teach me a tiling and
then have to study it out myself."
Kveryliody knows that, while
what my friend said sounds logi
cal, there is very little sound
philosophy in it. But every one
knows that unless the teacher can
aid the student, in studying, the
the teacher will fall far short of
his opportunity; and the best
time to aid the student in study
ing is before the studying begins
during the assignment. This aid
will lie given if the proper intro
duction is made.
Did you ever hear a person in
troduced to a whole room of peo
ple after this fashion: ' Indies
and gentlemen, thip is Mr. Jones.
He may find you ail out the beat
way he can." Many times, too
often, the little child is left In the
same condition, to find out the
lesson tho best way he can; and it
often is at a time when the little
fellow has few means at his cotq
■nand for finding out.
There, however, is a serious
danger in an introduction and iu
our prescription for study of tell
ing too much. To tell too much
is a mistake that should bo care
fully guarded. To tell the story
makes it ever after an old story.
li> puts the student on the stool of
do-uothing because the work is
done. It robs the student of flnd
iug out for himself, of becoming
a hero a* a student. But in all of
our telling in the assignment of
the lesson tell jjist enough to put
the student ou a working basis.
While we are telling exactly
what the lesson is, and how it is
to be recited and making our
introduction bo the student will
know how to study, let us be sure
to do all this so we will create in
the child's mind a vital interest
in the lesson. Interest is the best
deader into any aud all study.
Hence interest should be aroused
in the lesson in the assignment
without fail. Point out the im
portance attached to-the lesson.
Indicate some of its real value.
Speak of its beauty. Ask some
questions that will arouse the iu
terest of the class so the members
of the class will be eager to know
the answers and tell them they
can be found in the lesson. Tell
a little of the lesson iu a way that
will catch the child and bold his
interest. Then ask vital ques
tions that you leave fm them to
consider and to answer. B earn
est, be specific, be enthusiastic,
be pleasant, be alive that the stu
dents may' go to their seats from
the recitation with a burning de
sire to study and to know the next
lesson that has just been assigned.
Forces Organized for
Fighting Tuberculosa.
-•
Ten years show a marvelous
growth in that form of machinery
that has for its purpose the de
struction of the germs of tubercu
losis and other forces of the Great
White Plague. The latest figures
issued show that where ten years
ago there was almost a barren
field now there are in this country
575 hospitals and sanitoria fojr
the treatment of tuberculosis, 450
special dispensaries, 1,000 dis
pensary physiciaus, 4,000 nurses,
400 open air schools and 1,200 local
anti-tuberculosis organizations.
The total cost of creating and
operating this machinery, accord
ing to the American Medical
Journal, represents an outlay of
over $100,000,000 of public and
private funds.
The results achieved so far from
the workings of this machinery
may be seen, first, in the fall of
the tuberaulosis death rate which
was more than 25 per cent in the
past ten years. From 1904 to 1914,
the death rate from all forms of
tuberculosis fell from 200.7 to
146 8 per 100,000 population
Other achievements are the stead
ily growing enlightenment of the
people on the subject of tubercu
losis, Its cause, prevention and
treatment, and the higher health
standards emphasized as essential
factors in eradicating the disease.
What appear to be the main
points of attack for the future, as
pointed out by Surgeon F. f\
Smith of the Federal Health
Service, are the sources of "gross"
infection, particularly where there
are children, the delay in diag
nosing the disease, and the want
of those conditions conducive to
better living and to better health.

lengthy negotiations, has released

The Ship Purrbue Bill
The Government Ship Purchase
Bill framed after extended con
' ference between administration
leaders and- congress and other
1 high officials was introduced last
week iir the House, by Represent
ative Alexander of Missouri.
llearingß will begin on this bill in
' a short while.
1 The House is expected to pass
the bill, but despite changes made
to satisfy Democratic Senators,
strong opposition among the re
actionaries is anticipated in the
senate. '-Leaders, however, de
clare they are confident that even
if Democrats who helped side
track the bill a year ago still op
posed it, passage would assured by
the support of Progressiva Re
publicans and three new Demo
cratic additions to the senate.
It was said last w«ek that at
least six of the seven
Democrats who voted against the
measure last session, were still
unyielding in their opposition,
because of the provision which
gives the Government power to
operate ship lines in time of peace
when satisfactory leases to private
operators can not be negotiated.
Tnese six are Clark, of Arkansas,
Bankbead, of Alabama, Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, Hard wick, of Geor
gia, O'Gorman, of New York, and
Vardaman, of Mississippi. The
three new Senators expected to
vote favorably are Beckham,
llusting and Johnson.
The BraadeU Appointment.
The President has stirred up
the Senate by sending the name of
Louis D. Drandeis for confirma
tion as a member of the Supreme
Court of the United States. Mr.
Brandeis has shown himself one
of the most sterling patriots in
public life today. It was principal
ly through his activities that
President Taft was compelled to
remove Richard A. Ballinger from
bis cabinet, who was about to give
a large portion of the oil lands,
coal lands and water power sites
to the Big Corporations. Mr.
Brandeis has been a powerful and
relentless fighter of the grafters
and especially the big grafters
which are so dangerous. It is be
lieved that the Senate after fret
ting, fussing and squirming will
confirm Mr. Brandeis who is so
worthy to wear the ermine.
An interesting point in this
connection is the fact that be is
the first Jew ever appointed to
the bench of the Supreme Court
1 of the United States, and he is a
credit to his race and his country.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Leeeon, Phil, li, 1-11 —Mem-
ory Verees, 8-7—Golden Text, II Cor.
viii, 9—Commentary Prepared by Rev.
D. M. Steam*.
The topic of this lesson la "Humllla
tlon and Exaltation," and the central
person Is, as In all the Bible, the Lord
Jesus Cbrl*t,Creator, Redeemer, High
Priest and coming King. From the
day that Saul saw Illmaud heard film
on the way to Damascus he had no
eyes nor eurs nor heart for "any ope
else, as Is plainly seen In some of bis
words In this epistle: "To me to Uve Is
Christ" "Christ shall be magnified in
my body, whether by life or by death."
"1 count all things loss for the excel
lency of the knowledge of Christ Jesns
my Lord, * • * that 1 may know Him
and the power of His resurrection"
(chapter 1, 20, 21; 111, 8, 10). He never
ceases to speak of the gospel or the
good news concerning Jesus Christ (i, 5,
7, 12. 17, 27; 11, 22; lv, 3, 15), and he
encourages all who believe the gospel
by such assurances aa that He wbo
begins the work In them will not fall
to flniHli it; that their nnmes are in the
Book of Life; that all their need here
shall to supplied; that In the resurrec
tion the mortal body shall be changed
to an immortal body, like the resur
rection body of the Lord Jesus,, and
that we should ever be looking for His
return from lieaven (Phil. 1, 0; lv, 8, 10;
til, 20, 21). Aa to the present dally life
we must count suffering a privilege
and not be discouraged even by sick
ness In Hl* service, content under all
circumstances and free from all anx
iety, fully yielded to Him, that He
work hi ts both to will and to do
'of His good treasure (chapter L 20; 1L
26-80; lv, 6, 7. 11; 11. 13).
In our lesson verses we are led to
consider the comfort that there la for
ns In Christ by fellowship with Him
In the power of the Spirit In the pres
ent conflict with the world, the flesh
and the devil the only way Is to ran
with patience, looking unto Jesus, and
consider Him wbo endured such con
tradiction of sinners against Himself
for us, Jest we be wearied (Heb. ill,
1-8). If we are in Christ His God and
Father is our Ood and Father, and He
la the Father of mercies and the Ood
of all comfort, and though we may
have tribulation we need not be trou
bled (II Cor. i, 8, 4; John xiv, 27; xvl,
88; zx, 17). As we consider the meek,
and lowly Onj, who said "Take my
yoke upon you and learn of me," we
shall be ashnmed of all strife or vain
glory, for the servant of the Lord must
not strive (Matt xl, 20; II Tim. 11, 24;
James 111. 14-10). How unseemly was
the strife for greatness among the
apostles on the last Passover night
Even Barach, the scribe of Jeremiah,
was told that he must not seek great
things for himself (Luke xxll, 24; Jer.
xl v, - 6).
Few seem to have attained to that
fulness of grace, which enables them
to rejoice In the welfare of another
church or denomination as well as
their own, because they not seen
that to gather from all the world the
Church, the body of Christ, is far more
Important than the welfare of any
particular denomination or church or
society. If believers had more fully
the mind of Christ they would never
consider their own reputation or name,
but would live only to magnify Him
wbo so emptied Himself for us. He
who had such glory with the Father
before the world was as we cannot be
gin to Imagine bumbled Himself to
Bethlehem, and Nazareth, and Geth
semane, and Golgotha, with all that
each name suggests, that all who wHI
acknowledge their guilt and reedke
Him as their Saviour may become chil
dren of God and joint heirs wltli Him
self and In due time share His king
dom and glory. To this end God hath
raised Him from the dead and set Him
at His own right band, far above all
power tyid might and dominion and
every name that is named, not only
in this world, but also In that which
Is to come, and hath put all things un
der His feet and gave Him to be head
over all tilings to the Church which
Is His body (verses 0-11; Eph. 1, 20-
28).
It Is this body and bride, that other
Eve for the last Adam, that Is now be
ing gathered from all the World in this
age to reign with H|m In the next age,
when every kuee shall bow to Him
and every tongue confess that Jesus
Christ Is Lord to the glory of God the
Father. This will be at the time of
chapter til, 21; Acts 111, 21; Rev. Ul, 21,
and the Alness for our taking part In
It all Is seen In Gen. 111, 21. He must
reign till He hath put all enemies un
der His feet (I Cor. xv. 23), but He will
not beglu to reign till He has His Eve,
Ills brk'e, His body, the Church, to
reign with Him. We see not yet all
things put under Him, but we see Je
sus crowned with glory and honor,
watting for those other sons wbAm
Ho Is bringing to glory snd fitting
them for it by their present sufferings

PROMOTING HEALTH.
Spokane's Health Commissioner Is a
Believer In Publicity.
»In the public health work'of Dr. J.
B. Anderson, city health commissioner
of Spokane, Wash., publicity is a mast
important factor, says the American
City. Through the local press the peo
ple of the city are dealt with frankly
and openly In every new undertaking
of tbe health department.
Like all other successful health offi-
Dr. Anderson Is a vigorous en
emy of the fly. "The fly Is the death
angel's commercial traveler," he said
In one of his publicity tirades. "He
has six legs aud a dozen grips on each
THB FLY THAT DLINKrt EVKIIY TIME A
"» li Al)* DISS. .
leg from which he retails his samples."
At the Interstate fair, held In Spokane,
he exhibited a large fly constructed to
scale to illustrate preventable infant
mortality, Tbe fly's ej;es blinked once
every ten seconds, in accordance with
this inscription placed above the mod
el: "Death follows in my wake. Watch
me blink. Every time I do a baby
dies from a preventable cause.' Ob;
server! What are you doing to help
prevent this drain on human re
sources?" A card placed between a
cannon and tly) fly read: "We do not
Initiate. We transmit ruin and de
struction." Just above thiß was a sign
which said, "It is within the power of
man to render us both harmless." A
hemisphere hung at the back and was
occupied by a skeleton engaged in driv
ing the cannon and tbe fly, the pur
pose being to convey to the mind of
the observer thnl these are two large
instruments of destruction which could
be overcome by a peaceful disposition
on the one band and cleanliness on the
other.

The best place to hide money is where they have vaults for safely
protecting it. Every week we see newspaper Accounts of people
having been robbed. Sngar bowls, rag bags, under ihe carpet, be
hind pictures, and all of those other places where people conceal
their money, are well known to burglars. Hide it in OUR BANK,
then you know you can get it when you want it.

There to at least one Englishman for
whom Greek affection baa never WlT
ered—Lord Byron. Not only to be com
memorated In Greece by statues and
street names, bnt bis portrait Is to be
found everywhere, even In the most
unlikely places. Mr. W. Miller In bis
"Greek Life In Town and Country"
tells bow he came upon a portrait of
the poet in a provincial restaurant.
The moment be took notice of It "the
proprietor, a stout, prosaic
man, whom no one would have susfiect
ed of sentiment, stepped toward the
picture, clasped his hands in pathetic
gesture and, with a faraway look In
his eyes, stood for a time in rapt ad
miration of the great Phllbelleue."
