THE TAR EEL
UNIVERSITY WILL IIOLD
EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE
(Continued from page 'one)
of the Department of Superintend
ence of the National Education Asso
ciation. It will he recalled that Pres
ident Coif man's address on this sub
ject at 'the meeting of the National
Education Association in Boston last
spring aroused wide comment.
. "-The sessions on Saturday, the final
day, will be -devoted to the question
of financing of the public school sys
tems. A round-table discussion will
be led by Dr. George D. Strayer, of
Teachers College, Columbia Univer
sity, generally regarded as the fore
most authority in the country on
financial trends and policies in public
education.
A feature of the Conference will be
reports on educational progress in
their own., state by superintendents of
public instruction' from the Southern
states. Eight superintendents have
already signified their intention of
being present, they being from Ala
bama, Georgia, Kentucky, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Louis
iana, and -South Carolina..
"The whole intent and purpose of
these conferences," Dr. Chase said
in his statement Saturday, is to
bring together a body of informed
and interested public opinion to help
furnish intelligent leadership for the
advancement of public education in
the South. The whole South" is con
cerned and interested in the proposi
tion of school systems which will be
adequate, judged by the best national
standards. It is interested that these
systems shall be based on the lines
of sound policy and that the relations
among different parts of the systems
shall be properly worked out. Public
education is a matter which must con
cern every thoughtful citizen. On its
problems ought to be a meeting of
minds, an opportunity for the ex
change of information, the discussion
of policies, the arousing of informed
interest. It is for such purposes that
the University has , initiated what it
believes will be the first of a series
of conferences of growing importance.

tioning brought out their opinion of
those boys who are pro-Japan. One
boy spoke as follows: "Masaru is al
ways talking about how good Japan
is some day I'm going to poke him
in the eye." This was their attitude
toward Japan. Most, of them said
that they wished to go back to see
what the land of their forefathers was
like, but not to live there.
Children of Honolulu
, , The children of Honolulu are very
little different from the children of
any other large city. They speak
English among themselves, even
though they speak Japanese to their
parents. They play American games,
applaud Tom Mix, and worship great
American athletes; they-join the Boy
Scouts, the Y. M. C. A. and the R. 0?

school as any bunch of lively children
do. The girls are just as fond of
pretty clothes, just as excited over
their boy friends, 'just as interested
in parties, and just as alert as their
counterparts on the mainland of the
United States.
The children there have the same
bad points as those here, defects
which the truly Oriental child does
not nave. They are less courteous to
their elders and instructors than their
parents were as children. They are
less amenable to their parents' desires,
They are searching more feverishly
for amusement.. -
Like American Children
They are, in short, American chil
dreri, in spite of the fact that the
parents of the majority "of them were
born either in Japan , or in China.
Americanization of Orientals is a pro
ven fact, in the Paradise of the Pa
cific's melting pot.
Honolulu : is the nearest approach
we have yet seen to the true melting
pot, for there all races and ranks live
together without discord, and live a
comfortable life. The English lan
guage is common to all of them and
is the bridge between the races. The
races are more or less sefirresrated
naturally due to the fact that each
race finds more congeniality within
itself than in other races. Neverthe
less, inter-racial marriages "are quite
common in the islands, except that
Chinese-Japanese unions are infre
quent. The people of Honolulu, no
matter what their ancestors are, are
now one people American.
Orient Quite Different
In the Orient this is not true. There
is little love lost between the Chinese
and the Japanese. The Japanese are
sometimes compared to the Yankees
of America and the Chinese to the
Southerners, so there is a natural con
flict there which has been recently
augmented by Japan's interference in
China's wars.
The feeling against Japan among
the Chinese was very marked in
Shanghai. On the walls of the rail
road station there were posters show
ing Japanese soldiers killingChinese
civilians and otherwise Ch'ina as a
nation. Before these posters stood
groups of Chinese Coolies, immoble,
staring at these pictures with ex
pressionless faces. I talked to several
college students there and some of
them were very better against Japan.
China looks upon Japan with the sus
picion that Japan has. tectorial de
signs upon China.
r China Still Disorganized
China is still very disorganized. The
peace between the armies of the North
and the South is very insecure, due to
the fact that each army has a group
of leaders at its head instead of one
man. When one man becomes dis
pleased with the way he is being
treated, he changes over to the other
side, thus necessitating a new treaty
of peace.
The southern forces are by far the
stronger; and, without any-support
to the array of the north by Japan,
they could easily subdue the opposing
forces. However, Japan believes it
to her best advantage to support the
governmental control of the Northern
army in the sections of North China
where Japan has business interests.
Japan More Modern
At present there is an immense dif
ference between the economic and so
cial conditions in the two countries.
Japan is modern in so far as is pos
sible .with due . regard for tradition
modern in the sense of sanitation,
transportation, city engineering, fi
nances, and business in general. China
has changed little from the China of
centuries ago. The foreign settle
ments are, of course, just as though a
section of an American City had been
put down there, but the native sections
are still unchanged.
In Japan we find electric railways,
modern trains, efficient water and
sewerage-systems, clean streets and
buildings, efficient activity, and sta
ble currency.
In China we find indifferent train
service, suspicious water supplies (ex
cepting, of course, the foreign sec
tions) , no sewerage disposal systems
in many parts, narrow dirty streets
filled with shops and houses combined
and condensed without an inch of
space between, and a currency that
fluctuates daily and which is too often
counterfeit.

Nationally Known-Justly Famous
What the Future Holds
Japan is now working at somewhere
near its utmost efficiency, utalizing
all of its resources and arable land,
and is coming each day closer to the
time where its problems will require a
drastic answer; while China, a nation
of the -past, has before it the possi
bility of becoming again one of the
leading nations of the world. Before
this is more than a remote possibility,
China must overcome two major
handicaps, a diversity: of spoken lan
guage and a lackof a central govern
ment. There is enough land to care
for China's teeming millions and
enough natural resources to make it
one of the richest of nations. Whether
this will come to pass or not depends
chiefly upon whether the Chinese can
overcome their psychological tendency
toward inertia of mind and body.
