Dean Carroll 'Urge's-'''Students.-;;
To Harmonize Their Education
ith Underlying Fundamentals
s-
Business Leaders Must Have
Habits of Work and Spiritual
Stamina Says Head of Com
merce School.
Presenting his philosophy of
education before the meeting of
the Taylor Society Tuesday
night, Dean D. D. Carroll, head
of the school of commerce and
economics, stated that education
must be vitally attuned and re
lated to life.
n-aucauon wnicn is not re
lated to life is not really educa
tion, and it becomes such only
when it relates itself to life,
either as it is now or will be in
the future," stated Mr. Carroll.
In presenting the subject "Ed
ucation for Business Leader
ship" ; Dean Carroll followed a
plan of analysis, carrying the
subject from one stage to an
other until he reached the basic
factors making up the proper
training for those who expect to
become business leaders.
"Training for business leader
ship must establish habits of
work," stated the speaker, "and
I am against optional attend
ance because in the future the
students will not . have t this
privilege." He concluded this
sub j ect by saying that the in
stitution which through option
al attendance fails to develop
habits of work is failing in its
function.
"The two greatly magnified
characteristics of the present
age : specialization and the
broadened reach of the indivi
dual in enjoying life, have given
education the two-fold purpose
of nrenarinff men to earn a liv-
ing in a highly specialized civ
ilization and of teaching them
how to live and get the most
en j oyment from this broadened
individual life.
"Education for business lead
ership must fill a paradoxial re
quirement," stated Mr. Carroll,
"for it must make an ever nar

CHAPEL HILL BOY
SCOUTS SET UP
NATIONAL RECORD
Train Ninety-One Eagle Scouts
In Five Years to Establish
World's Record.
When the Chapel Hill Boy
Scout troop wrote a national
record, back in 1925 under the
leadership of Scoutmaster Ver
non Kyser, professor in the
school of pharmacy, with six
Eaerle Scouts numbered in its
membership of 36 active scouts,
the University began a pioneer
work, which has grown steadily
until it touches every section of
the state, and affects other
states as well.
Back in those days North
Carolina had only 63 Eagle
Scouts, with ten per cent of
them in Chapel Hill. That
"wonder" record centered com
munity interest and the Univer
sity projected its program of
scouting into every part of the
state, using the "wonder" troop
as an example.
The five-year record of the lo
cal troop is a state achievement,
according to Scoutmaster Kyser,
with nine of the state's 80-odd
Eagle Scouts in the , local unit.
The record is also a national one
for a troop with 26 Scouts at
this time and 91 during the five
years, Scoutmaster Kyser Eays.

ASTRONOMY NEW
COUROFMIED Course Taught by the Late Dean
Patterson Will Be Given
Again.
The physics department an
nounces that Physics 14, a cul
tural course in astronomy, will
be offered next quarter as a
course under the instruction of
Dr. Karl H. Fussier.
The course which was taught
by the late Dean A. H. Patterson
until his death in 1928, has been
changed from a junior-senior
elective to a freshman-sophomore
course. The course may
be taken by others than men in
the first and second year classes,
but it cannot count as a science
major course.
The course has no physics or
mathematics prerequisites, as
the subject will be treated in a
non-mathematical manner.
The astronomy course will be
a cultural treatment of the sub
ject, taking it up from an his
torical standpoint. There will
be lectures with slides and star
maps, and -the use. of astronom
ical instruments will be demon
strated. Dr. Fussier, who will teach
the course, is well fitted for the
position, having studied at the
Kirkwood Observatory, at the
University of Indiana, and has
taught astronomy at the U. S.
Shipping Board School of Navi
gation at Philadelphia during
the World War.
Social Conference
Meeting Changed
The dates for the annual
meeting of the North Carolina
Conference for Social Service
have been shifted from April
6-8 to April 13-15, according- to
announcement made today by
Miss Harriet Herring, secretary
of the conference.
The meeting is to be held in
Charlotte.
The shift was made in order
to avoid a conflict resulting from
the fact that superintendents of
public welfare, many of whom
had planned to attend the Char
lotte meeting, are to hold their
regular meeting with county
commissioners during the week
of April 6-8, the dates originally
set for the Conference..
Pre-Law Students
To Meet Tonight
According to a . statement by
Waddell Gholson a meeting of
undergraduate students inter
ested in law will be held tonight
at 7:30 o'clock in the first year
class room of the law building
for the purpose of organizing a
Pre-Law Association. This will
be done in an effort to make the
college years of a pre-law stu
dent mean more to him in terms
of preparation for the law-office
and the court-house. Professors
R. D. W. Connor and M. T. Van
Hecke will speak and the meet
ing guarantees the forthcoming
of keen and stimulating ideas.
This movement has been en
couraged by the law faculty and
the" law school association, and
they have offered to give their
hearty cooperation. They have
expressed the belief that much
benefit will be obtained from
the discussion ana debates on
such subjects as: "The compara
tive desirability of two, three,
or four years of college prepara
tion for law," "The relation of
outside activities such as ath
letics, debating, and journalism,
to law," "The relation of courses
in history, science, literature,
and economics, to law," and "The
advantages of the University of
North Carolina School of Law,
its faculty, library, and methods
of work."
A program has been arranged
for this meeting that is sugges
tive of those to be used in such
an organization, if organized.
Professor R. D. W. Connor, of
the history department, will
speak on "Why the Lawyer
Should Study History" and Pro
fessor M. T. Van Hecke, of the
law school, will give the same
subject from a lawyer's view
point. After these talks the
proposals for organizing the
Pre-Law Association will be
heard and plans for future ac
tivities will be made. All stu
dents interested in such an as
sociation are urged to attend.
