leaves of absence.

Discussed Government Owner
ship of Muscle Shoals ; Meas
ure Was Defeated.
The meeting of the Dialectic Senate
Tuesday night was opened by a sug
gestion that the hour of meeting be
changed from 7:15 to 7:00. The idea
met with the approval of the senate
and became a matter of fact for fu
ture meetings.
; Seiialfor J. sV Williams introduced
this resolution: "Be it ' resolved that
the Dialectic , Senate go on record as
fayoring. ownership and operation of
muscle shoals by, the , United States
Government." ,' In discussing the mat
ter the senator stated that the. United
States is the only great power which
depends upon another country for; its
supply . of nitrates. . He asserted that
the nitrate derived from muscle shoals
contains more nitrogen than that
which the United' States imports from
Chile. If the plant at muscle shoals
were" fully .developed it would supply
enough nitrogen for. the. use of the
American people both in time of war
and in, time of peace," declared the
speaker.
.. In attempting to clarify, the matter
before the senate.; .Senator, . Parsons
asserted,. that "the problem at issue
is whether the. United States Govern
ment , will sell v the plant to some
private company, or operate it as a
Federal enterprise." The speaker re
minded, the, senate that this phase of
the problem had been discussed at
length in congress. '
Senator Gilreath asserted that, the
fact that, - the Federal .Govern
ment has spent a vast suml of money
on the project makes it wise to either
operate the plant to the . limit of its
capacity, or not , at all. The senator
asserted, that at present only one
fifth of the plant -is being utilized.
The speaker suggested that a muscle
shoals corporation be formed which
would lease the plant for a period of
five years. : :
A vote of the .senate' defeated the
resolution by a substantial margin.
"In defense of his resolution ,to the
effect that the; Dialectic" Senate
should favor the abolition of the jury
system Senator Gilreath alluded to
the injustice of American courts to
day. The senator reminded the senate
that the matter of . trial by jury had
its beginning centuries ago. "The
average juror is three weeks behind
time in the matter of current informa
tion and knows almost nothing of
scientific problems," declared the
speaker. This situation, he contend
ed, placed the jury at the mercy of
shrewd lawyers: - The senator advo
cated the idea of a jury composed of
skilled technicians. ; ;
Senator Dungan spoke at length
concerning the financial phase of
trial by jury as compared with other
systems. ' He asserted the financial
specialized men would demand large
salaries. This, he contended, would
certainly constitute a grievance. The
speaker contended that the human
element manifested in the system of
trial by jury was of greater signi
ficance than the purely scientific at
titudes of a jury composed of tech
nicians. .
Senator Chandler contended that the
matter of paying a jury should not
have any - bearing on the matter of
selecting a good one. The senator
contended that the fact that intelli
gent people are loathe to serve on a1
jury which enables lawyers to select
men who 'will be swayed by their
opinions. The speaker maintained
stoutly, that the .solution to the pro
blem lay in paying' a jury of intelli
gent men to try cases permanently.
Senator Norwood maintained that
the big problem lay in- finding a
method of choosing an intelligent
jury. "New-fangled ideas about the
jury system are no good," declared the
senator. He argued that the matter
of sympathy was of the utmost im
portance in any trial.
The senate -defeated the resolution
by a large margin. i V

Chase and Freeman Are
Speakers at Southern'
Educational Conference
(Continued from page tne)
"There is much: about this, world
that is distasteful to Southern, habits
and traditions. It is a world whose
center, of gravity is different", he
said. As a result of this .'necessity
of adjusting itself to new situations,
"There is in Southern life today a
restlessness, a ferment, a sense of
change. There is a strain, a tension
at the center things."
"It is not only in a political sense
that the Solid Sjouth is breaking under
the strain of continuedpeacef ul pene
trations,"" Dr.v Chase said in opening
his address,, "In outlook, in, their
social, and industrial order, states like
Virginia and.. North Carolina tend
more and more to be j different from
such states as Mississippi or Louisi
ana." . r, ' .
The speaker .pointed out, peculiar
problems '.of the South in reference
to the race question, the problem of
agriculture,; the peculiar features
which distinguish Southern industry,
its .lack of - concentration in a few
great centers . ;with city slums, its
strong .traditions, and philosophy to
ward labor. He said the problems of
illiteracy are "due j in large measure
to short school, term, irregular atten
dance, poor teaching, and the lack of
an environment that converts the
power into the desire to read." I
. Dr. Chase discussed the conditions
which have, brought about the new
world of machinery and science ; the
smith's greatest struggle " to meet
these conditions ; the financial prob
lems of state and private founda
tions.; "We must go thoughtfully
forward; we cannot evade difficul
ties." . ;V . . ,
, Dr. Freeman in his address advo
cated class newspapers such as are
found in many sections of Europe
and in a few instances in America,
as remedies for "the 'failure' of 'the
American press to perform . its great
funetion as an educator." x
.When the forces of education are
sized up," he said, "we must put the
American " Press far down the list,
and the fundamental reason for this
is that the great goal of journalism
today is the great course of journa
lism, that is, increased circulation.
The more circulation the more adver
tising, and , the more advertising the
bigger paper that, seems to be the
slogan of most American newspapers
today," the Virginian asserted.
Dr. Freeman listed three other
reasons for the failure of the Ameri
can Press as an educator. These, he
said, are the "Speed with which pa
pers have to be published, frequent
ly, making for poor workmanship,
lack of properly trained . personnel,
and lack of plant equipment.
The American Press reaches sev
enty million people. In its "eternal
quest for more circulation it seeks to
appeal to all classes and seeks as a
common dominator the unreached
prospective subscriber, who usually
is a person of lower mentality.
Only one paper in the South has
as many as"2,000 books in its library.
The personnel of the papers are be
ing "improved, the speaker stated, by
the entrance of many college men in
to, the field. He urged better plants
and . better personnel' for all newspa
pers. , ; : . v' ' - . .. . . :

"interesting of tfountry r editors in
evaluating their papers by " means of

year to a study of problems relating
