Branson and Hobbs Would Corn
bine North Carolina Club and
N. C. Social Conference.
Professors E. C. Branson and
S. H. Hobbs, Jr., acting for the
North Carolina Club, have . pro
posed a plan to Hugh MacRae,
president of the North Carolina
Social Conference, which has the
idea of effecting a consolidation
of the two. organizations this
year. The plan has not yet
gone through, but is under con
sideration and will probably ma
terialize. They have in mind the block
out of a complete program ; and
choosing people to be respon
sible for each section. Assign
ments will be ; made ; and the re
spective speakers will be invited
to report before the. North Caro
lina Club, one speaker every two
weeks during the academic year.
Papers will be discussed at the
club ' meeting which the. speak
ers will revise : before presenta'
tion at .the annual conference
meeting. The proceedings will
be published in the year book.
They : think cooperation could be
obtained from State College,
North Carolina College for
Women, the state department
of agriculture, the University
schools of commerce and public
welfare, and from the North
Carolina unit of the Southeast
ern economic Council.
The chief object of the year's
work is to analyze 'thoroughly
the agricultural and rural life
situation in North Carolina and
work out a long-time construc
tion program.
PHI SOCIETY HAS
SECOND MEETING
Holding its second meeting of
the year, the venerable Phi So
ciety started off with a burst of
enthusiasm. After the meeting
had been called to order x by
Speaker Albright, the roll .was
called and the minutes read by
Secretary McDuffy. Speaker
Albright welcomed the new
members and extended a special
invitation to any would be mem
bers. Representatives Pratt
and Kelly were then appointed
to serve on the refreshment com
mittee. Mention was made by
Treasurer James of the fact that
initiation fee is two dollars and
dues one dollar per quarter.
The resolutions discussed dur
ing the evening were as 'follows:
Resolved:
That the Phi Assembly go on
record as favoring Monday holi
days instead of Saturday holi
days ;
Resolved: That the Phi As
sembly 'go on record as favoring
night football at the University;
And resolved : That the Phi
Assembly go on record as favor
ing admission of freshmen to all
dances.
Quite a few speakers express
ed their opinions on these resolu
, tions pro and con, provoking
much interest. When the vote
was taken, the first resolution
was defeated ; the second resolu
tion was adopted; and the third
resolution ) having aroused so
much interest, due to a lack of
time was carried over to the
next meeting. Speaker Albright
again invited all prospective
members to be on hand for
initiation next Tuesday night,
and he especially invited the
co-eds to become members of the
forensic body.

New English Head Has Volume
Brought Out by Thomas
- Nelson and Sons.
Thomas Nelson and Sons have
published a volume of Five Sig
nificant English Plays, edited by
Dr. George R. Coffman, new
head of the University of North
Carolina English .Department.
This collection, invaluable for a
sophomore survey, course, con
tains Marlow's Dr. Faustics,
Dekkers The Shoemaker's Holi
day, Steele's The Conscious Lo
vers, Sheridan's The School for
Scandal, and Pihero's The Se
cond Mrs, Tanquerey.
There are several methods of
becoming acquainted with Eng
lish drama. In any case,
Shakespeare must be in a sepa
rate and distinct course. That
is a fact that can be denied for
no sensible reason. It would be
sacrilege to include-him in any
survey course. But for the rest
It is possible to study every
thing, the result of which is
neither order nor perspective. It
is possible to study a little in de
tail and much in outline. There
is )rder but not perspective. It
is possible, and best, to concen
trate on some few representa
tive plays. Dr. Coffman must
have borne that fact in mind, for
he begins with the man who,
when there were two types of
drama, stiffly starched tragedy
and ragged clowning, brought
some order into the theatre.. He
continues logically and chrono
logically until he comes to a man
who, born into a well-ordered
world, does not make the thea
tre less ordered, lout only less
conventional than it was a de
cade before him. The whole is
no cycle; it is a development.

CHAPEL HILL, N. C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1930;
Education Department Emphasizes
Important Aim of Teacher Training
By R.W. Madry
"No other professional body
of men and women can possibly
affect so prof undly the entire civ
ic, industrial, and spiritual
well-being of a state as can a
competent staff of teachers, su
pervisors, and administrative of
ficers in the public schools.
These institutions reach and
serve all the children of all the
people."
This statement was made by
Nathan W. Walker, acting dean
of the University's school of edu
cation, which for all practical
purposes is the teachers' college
division of the University. When
he made the statement, he must
have had in mind the high pur
pose of the Scool of Education,
which is to educate teachers and
to train them for their profes
sion in accordance with the de
mands "of the highest modern
University standards.
That this division of the Uni-
I versity ; is keenly alive to the
needs of the schools and the
school workers, and carries on
many lines of work designed to
meet their particular needs, is
evidenced by its steady growth.
Purpose to Train Teachers
Teachers and undergraduate
students who intend to teach, re

Social History of Islands Pub
lished by Social Science
Institute.
If a writer fully intends to do
a brief study, finds -undreamedof
material, becomes interested
enough to have the archives of
the United States Treasurv
opened, and writes a volume in
stead of a paper, there is the as
surance that a reader can find
an absorbing interest. And the
reader is not obliged to handle
old family papers with 'the dust
and mold that always attend.
Dr. Guion Griff is Johnson of
the institute for research in so
cial science of the University of
North Carolina is the first per
son to make a finished drawing
of the Sea Islands of South Caro
line and Georgia under the Fed
erals from 1863 until the close
of the Civil. War. A Social His
tory of the Sea Islands, with
Special Reference to Saint He
lena Island, South Carolina was
written under the authority, of
the institute for research in soc
ial science of the University of
North Carolina and the social
science research council. There
are other books to cover the per
iod not treated by this volume.
The book begins with a single
chapter of leading-up-to history.
The other chapters, eight of
them, form a chronicle of an im
ported group of settlers, most of
them forcibly imported. It does
not single out individuals; It
records the cultural development
until the end of Reconstruction
of that part humanity that lived
on the Sea Islands and was
black. White influences are
taken into account, but it is not
a history of white culture. There
are the results of plantation
culturer-which results, by the
way, seem indelible in that part
of the world. There are the re
sults of the teaching of earnest
and conscientious negrophiles
and, if you will, abolitionists.

B. in Education just as those
who intend to become engineers
register in the school of engi
neering and those who intend to
follow some line of applied
science register in the school of
applied science. It is that divi
sion of the University to which
teachers and other school people
look when they desire the ser
vices of the institution that are
peculiar to their profession.
On the graduate level educa
tion is organized as a depart
ment of the graduate school and
s administered by the education
staff in accordance with the re
gulations governing the require
ments for the higher, degrees.
Undergraduate students in the
school take three-fourths of
their work in the usual academic
departments of the University.
In other words, the various de
partments serve all the under
graduate schools, the introduc
tory courses being the same for
all, with the more specialized and
advanced courses designed to
meet the needs and requirements

fessions. The standards for

NUMBER 11
ENTERTAMJENT
TO BE STAGED IN
NEW MUSIC HALL
New Chimes Not To Be Installed
Until Thanksgiving
1931.
The committee in charge of
the Entertainment Program for
this year is confronted with
more than its usual difficulties.
The new Auditorium is not yet
ready for occupancy, so that the
chief problem is that, of secur
ing a hall.
While the Committee has not
yet held an official meeting this
fall, Professor Harold S. Dyer of
the Music Department reports
that the members he has consult
ed consider it feasible to use the
Music Auditorium during . the
fall quarter. Since this hall has
only about half the required ca
pacity, the committeemen plan
to divide the ticket-holders into
two groups, A and B. Those
holding 'A tickets would, if this
plan is adopted, be admitted to
first-night performances, and
the B patrons to a second night
program. While this system ne
cessarily entails a repetition of
all entertainments, still it offers
the only practical solution to the
problem. It has been tried with
success "at such prominent insti
tutions as the Universities of
Chicago and Michigan and Ohio
State.
Orders for seats went in yes
terday, and their delivery is ex
pected sometime after October
15th. --
The committee rightly feels
that the Student Entertainment
series should be continued, since
it constitutes the chief musical,
lecture, and dramatic events on
the campus. In addition to the
policies already; mentioned, the
Committee will probably deside
at its next meeting upon a plan
to group the larger events dur
ing the winter quarter, when the
new auditorium will probably be
available. A fine musical or
dramatic event will be provid
ed as an opening feature.
. The new chimes are even more
distant in the future than the au
ditorium. Charles Woolen, busi
ness manager of the University,
hopes, however, that they will be
installed by Thanksgiving week
of the next school year. '
