In one of tlie liveliest scraps ever seen on the Y court, the local High School basketball quint Thursday night defeated tlie lighting ‘‘Wild Kittens,” of the Davidson High School by the margin on a lone point, the score standing 14-13 at the filial whistle. Davidson' led all the way through the game until the last two or three min utes of play when the locals forged ahead and held the lead to the finish. The visitors did practically all of their scoring in the first quarter, register ing nine points, while, the Concord boys were able to score one field goal during the first half. After the jirst quarter the ganm was all Con cord’s, though Davwbwra had gained such a lead that it seemed that they wouTfl never catch them. With both teams playing a five-man defense, and both lighting so hard that numerous fouls had to he called, the score was necessarily low. Each team registered live field gojils, but Smart won the game with bis foul shooting. He caged four out of nine tries, while Bohannon and Johnson together could only register three out of twelve tries. Captain Ridenliour was the indi vidual star of the game, with Grey playing for second honors. It is real interesting to watch these two young sters pitted against each other; For .the third time, this season the two have met; once on the gridiron and twice on the basketball court. Grey, with his .wonderful speed, had the edge on the football field, but he has been forced to yield tlie honors to Peanut on the basketball floor. The local captain last night, held liis man scoreless while lie himself caged three from the confer of the floor. Grey broke, even with his forward. • Wolff refereed a good game.

FINE ADDRESSED FEATRE MEETING E. T. Albertson, D. W. Sims and Mi§s Daisy Magee Dis cuss Subjects of Unusual Interest. Fine addresses by D. W. Sims, E. T. Vlbertson and Miss Daisy Magee sea-. tured the sessions "of tlie Sunday School Institute Thursday. The ses sions of the Institute tire being held hi St. James Lutheran Church, and are open to Sunday School workers of all denominations. Interest in the Institute continues to increase, and officers of the Coun ty Association, as well as the speak ers have expressed delight with the interest being aroused in the Insti tute. The closing session will be held tonight, with another session this af ternoon. ■ i Mr. C. F.. Ritchie presided at the afternoon session Thursday, and de vet ional exercises were conducted by Rev. W. C. Lyerly. Those who attended the Institute Thursday afternoon enjoyed very much the address on tin* "Sunday School Council Meeting” by Mr. Al bertson. and the practical suggestions were adapted to practically every school. One of the features empha sized was the necessity of recognizing the new (lay in which we are now liv ing, that the individual superintend ent can no longer Ik* effective without the sympathetic co-operation of all his teachers and officers. He insisted the one way to get these people together was to plan supper meetings at which,, time ji fellowship could be developed, thus tying tbe entire group together with social bonds and .common inter est. i ' The program which follows this fel lowship must he of ji uractical type. The following outline was given for a year’s program : 1. A review of tlie local school standard jis proposed by the individ ual denomination. 2. The relationship of the Sunday school and the preaching service and the need for their co-operation. 5. The co-operation of parents and teachers. 4. An ji wakened conscience on the part of teachers and their associates. 5. Special days with an objective. (». Winning every pupil to Christ and to the Church. 7. Effective ways of training work ers. * 8. Sunday School music, and its value in worship. 9. Review of the Standard and the year's success. 10. The Annual Picnic, for the whole School. An address by Miss Daisy Magee, and a "problem solving period, con ducted by Mr. I). XV. Sims, featured tlie remainder of the afternoon ses sion. At the night session Mr. J. ,T. Earn hardt presided, with devotional exer cises led by Rev. G. XV. Rollins. Mr. Albertson spoke on “The Superintend ent To Be.” Mr. Sims on “Better Re sults by Better Co-operation,” and Miss Magee on "The Challenge to Re ligious Education.” Those who heard the Saddress of Miss Magee counted themselves wery fortunate. Miss Magee stated that ail normal'persons ore horn with a four fold nature—a physical, a mental, a social and a religious nature. Plu tarch said lie had discovered peoples without government, without an edu cational system and almost without food or clothes. Imt he had never found a nation that did not worship some! king. "A well rounded education includes the development of all four natures, and a person who has only one of these natures trained is a one-sided person, and an undeveloped nature has a ten dency to die. This is true of the re ligious as well as the other nature. The child of the North American In dian Mother will worship the Indian mother’s god, Buddah, Mohammed or Jesus Christ, largely according as it is taught. “The first challenge comes to re ligious education because all men are horn with a religious nature that should he developed so that the per son will accept and worship the Christ. The second challenge comes because it is a dangerous thing to train a child mentally and not spir itually. Germany trained men men tally to a much greater extent than spiritually. The result was a world war and atheism. America is neg lecting religious training. There are said to he more than eleven million Children under 13 years of age, and thirty-seven million young people un der twenty-five years of age in North America receiving no systematic re ligious education. “What institution will give the re ligious education? The public schools cannot teach the Bible as a text Book, first because if this is done the prin ciple of separation of Church and State, for which the Protestant peo ple of North America stand, will be violated; second, because if the Bible is placed as a text book in the cur ricula of the public schools it will he taught largely as history and litera ture and not as God's message to -the people of the ages. "The homes are not sufficiently giv ing religious education. There are eight million ’nominally Protestant children in our country who are be ing reared in non-Christian homes. The Church is the only institution that can answer the call. In order that it may do this efficiently it must haVe a great teaching program. This may include the Sunday School, which meets for pn hour and a half once n week, a daily vacation Bible School for six or eight weeks during the sum mer, and a week day school of relig ion giving to the children from two to four and a half hours of religious in struction during the week for eight or nine months a year." In Mr. Albertson’s evening address, he pointeiTout very definitely the fail ures which are apparent and the ex planations .for many of our losses. He insisted tint i/i the future our super intendents must believe in their jobs with that passion which forces them to give more time and preparation. It will need a leader who has self-mas tery with an irresistuble purpose and~a goal to be attained ; one who can control himself under the most trying circumstances' and be able to manage other people without their feeling n band of authority directing their activities. In this program for each Sunday must be the three elements which are vital in religious education, lie said. A training in devotional life which shall find expression in 'Bible reading., a song service and prayer. Second, a teaching period unmolested, which, should have as a minimum of time at least thirty minutes. Third, a chal lenge to personal service, which shall find expression in helping others. Mr. Sims said the Sunday schools could he made better by four kinds of co-operation. He (‘numerated the fol lowing : 1. A thorough co-operation in the Sunday School between officials, pu pils and classes. 2. The school co-operation with its own denomination to its - fullest extent. ,3. Co-operation with community movements. -1. ro-operafion with other Sunday Schools ol‘ other denominations. KIWANIS MEETING D. W. Sims and “Bob” Morrison Are Heard at the Weekly Meeting of the ■ Club. The meeting of the Kiwanis Clulvof Concord at the local Y.. M. C. A. Fri day evening transacted routine busi ness, heard an interesting address by Mr. D. W. Sims, and an inspirational talk by visiting Kiwanian “Bob” Mor rison, of Bristol. The appropriation of the Kiwanis Club was asked by the Fine Arts de partment of the Woman’s Club in the efforts now being made to have music taught in the public schools of this city. The Woman’s Club on. .Friday of next week will have in Concord .Mr. William Breach, head of the Music department of t he. public schools in Winston-Salem, who will deliver an address on “Public School Music.” On motion of I>r. Morrison King, the Kiwaninas voted unanimously to in vite Mr. Breach to bo their guest at tin* luncheon next Friday evening. Mr. IX W. Sims, secretary of the State. Sunday School Association of North Carolina, was introduced by Bux ton Robertson, program chairman of the meeting. Mr. Sims gave an in teresting talk on Sunday School work that is being done in this state, say ing that he had decided to talk on the work in which lie was most interested. The members of the Kiwanis. Rotary and Lions clubs, he added, are com posed of men who have been picked out from the others of their community as leaders in their line of work, there fore the whole community is watching to see what they do and where they go. Each one is being watched by other persons, and the influence and example of each member should he of the right kind. Mr. Sims then gave an outline of some of the results that have been obtained in various sections of North Carolina by the State or ganization. The fact that only one person in each four goes to any Sunday School at all is not a record that is in keeping with the. history and the people of the Old North State, said the speaker, and he pointer! out particular instances where in some communities there are. practically no Sunday Schools at all. These places are being built up and organized into Sunday Schools, and splendid progress is being achieved. Kiwanian R. L. Morrison was called on to lead in a song, but before In*, could begin the song, “Bob” declared there was something on his chest which he wanted to say to the Kiwanians of his home town before lie. went back to Bristol. Then be gave the members n good rousing talk on Kiwanis, full of the ginger for which the speaker in noted. The silent boost was given by Dr. Julius Shatters; the attendance prize, donated by Pariss Kidd, was drawn by Jacob (>. Moose. Mrs. Harriet Jane Dry.
