Religion in Education
The traditional objectives of
been beautifully sumarized by
Jesus advanced in wisdom and
men.'
All true education worthy of the name must be a har
monious ordering of man's physical, intellectual and moral
faculties; this means that there should be an integrated de
velopment of a man's body, intellect and soul. The secularist
lashion of our day emphasizes the training of the body and
the mind to, the exclusion of the soul and religious principle.
It is to the treatment of the religious principle in education
that I am here exclusively devoting myself.
j Every system of education is based on a view of man's
nature and origin. What is a man? What ought he to be?
Has he any destiny beyond this life on earth? Has his con
duct anything to do with this destiny? All these questions
enter into any theory of education; and all their answers
shape the system. A complete theory of education involves
a complete philosophy of life. . ,
When a man goes to college his physical
development will more or less take care of
itself. It is expected that he will acquire
a certain amount of knowledge and that he
will learn how to think for himself. But
when you ask whether the education will
Character

Improved
make a man more industrious, dependable, honorable;
whether it will make him more sensitive' to ideals that are 5
unselfish, the pursuit of which will give him: neither 'pubv
licity nor profit, you are asking whether the education will'
train his character. And everyone has a right to expect not
just a better body and mind in an educated man also a
better character. In fact the
mote Important than that of the brain. A brilliant scoundrel
is no credit to his Alma Mater or to society. Character is the
highest expression of the person. And it in the development
of character that religion enters the picture of education.
We who have been teachers know that the young still
have what we used to call a "soul"; that they are aware of
the difference between the temporary and the eternal, be
tween right and wrong; that they have a sense of obligation'
to something higher and more endurable than themselves;
that their inward striving for eternal ideals craves expres
sion. Religion always has and always will care for this train
ing of inner charatter. Without religion performing its func
tion on the campus in some form or another the whole edu
cational systme degenerates into an expensive racket. This
is why your religion, your church whatever it may be
should be a vital element in your life on the campus. You need
th ehelp of your religion in your present formative and plas
tic period more than you ever did before or you ever will
later. The classroom can try to develop your brain; the coach
can try to develop your character. Your cooperation will
give your religion an opportunity to help you whether you
are Protestant, Catholic or Jew makes no difference in this
regard.
There are only two general Views of educa
Two Views tion as there are only two general views of
aw . r human life. Either a human life is complete
Lire an(j seif .contained in this world, or it is a pre
And Death Paraton a higher state of existence; either
it is purely natural or it is also supernatural.'
Correspondingly you have two views of education secular
or religious, without or with religion. If there is no future
life and no belief in it, a system of education built on such a
presupposition is useless. If there is a higher destiny beyond
the stars for man, then a system- built orf that presupposition
will be" useful. If there is a- God, he comes first and there
can be no other order; if there is an immortal soul, then it
is the most important thing in man, beyond all price and
, value. Whether you are a Christian or a Jew, you are com
mited to a belief in a higher and more enduring life of the
soul in this world and next.. Your religion will nourish and
cultivate this belief if you give it a chance to do so.
If you are serious about your education, or about anything
else, you will not estimate' lightly the help that your religion
can and will give you. Advance in wisdom, age, and grace1
with God and man, and you will acquire a rounded and com
plete education. Such an education will be an asset to you and
to democracy, in which, in the words of Cardinal Newman:
"There is no rayalty but that of virtue and there is no aristo
cracy but that of talent." .
Religion has always played a paramount role in Ameri
can education and in the development of the American na
tion. Its importance in our national life was expressed in,
classic simplicity by Washington in 1796: "Whatever may be
conceded to the influence of refined education" on minds of
peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to
expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of re
ligious principle."

Sunday marks the beginning
of a two-day stand of the re

Irma," at the Carolina Theatre.
" And ' if the reaction' of the
general public is anywhere like
that of the fifty or so who saw
Wednesday night's sneak pre

most successful in the Carolina's
history. - - '
"My Friend Irma" is the 9
story of two rather dizzy sec
retaries who live together on
New York East Side and have .
an amazing family for getting
into an endless amount of
trouble. But the star of the
show is a dead pan comic
named Jerry Lewis.
For one hour and 42 minutes,
Irma (Marie Wilson), roomie
Jane Stacy (Diana Lynn), Irma's
boyfriend Al (John Lund), mil

host of good supporting charac
ters keeps the audience in
stitches.

as Jane, unaware of the clothes
inside the curtain, turns on the
water full blast and gives every
thing an unscheduled cleaning.
Al's only occupation is loaf
ing and trying to work up some
of his many deals. It is one of
' these deals that occupies a good
portion of the picture and is
one of the two main plots in

In the meanwhile Al has iet

talking, he high-pressures Steve,
the singer, and his comic buddy
Seymour into leaving their

A&P Be
By Ed
Should the A &'P be broken
up? The question is a very im
portant one, for it involves the
whole principle of mass, low
cost, low profit production upon
which American business is
built. It is worthy of note that
this is Attorney-General Mc
Grath's first anti-trust suit,
which fact has inspired con
jecture that he may be trying
to make a political name for
himself as a "trust-buster."
The primary question in this
case seems to be: does bigness
alone make7 a corporation a
"combination in restraint of
trade?" The government cannot
charge A&P with having a
monopoly, since they do only
6.4 of the nation's total food
business. It is charged, however,
that A&P has abused it's mass
buying and selling power by ob
taining preferential prices from -food
producers, and has used
profits from it's processing and
manufacturing plants to lower
retail prices, thus tending to
eliminate competition. The harm
fulness of these "abuses" is
somewhat hard to see, especi
ally by the average- consumer
who ' only knows that he can ;
consistently buy for less at the
A&P.
The purpose of the anti
trust laws was originally to
promote competition and thus
lower prices. The A&P has
not stifled competition. It owns
6000 of the U. S.'s
600,000 food stores and is the
nation's largest food retailer, '
but these figures do not give
evidence of inability to com
pete with A&P. Onlhe con

Even though Lyons emerged
from the academic merry-go-round
a budding Oppenheimer,
his literary inclinations were
responsible for his physics de
gree. He majored in physics sq
he could spend a great deal of
time with the head of the Phys
ics Department, who was in
tensely interested in philosophy
and literature, especially poetry.
Lyons' interest in poetry in
creased each summer of his
college career for he spent
his "vacations" working on
Mid western farms, cooper
Midwestern , farms, cooper
shops, and thread -processing
factories. Asked if he read
the Shakespeare and Chaucer
by the light of an open fire
while propped on " his elbows
(the traditional Lincolnesque
' position), Lyons chuckled,
"No, those Midwestern farm
ers liked modern conveniences
too much. So we had electric
lights and read in comfort."

Lyons first taught at Berea
.. College, Kentucky in the col-
'jggg.g secondary schools. He
coached high school football
d basketball, officated the
. ,
fsame two sports throughout the
""state, and taught public speak-
, ing, English, and dramatics.
Lincoln Memorial University in
Tennessee was his next stop.
The year after he left Berea,
four members of his basketball
team dropped out of Berea and
played for their home town
high school, in a mountain ham
let called Carr Creek. Known as
"the barefoot boys from 'Carr
Creek," they swept the state
.'championship and finished as
' runner-ups in a national high
school tournament.
' The depression "and Lyons ar
rived at Johns Hopkins Uni
versity together in 1929. He re
ceived his doctorate then in
English in 1932 and' remained
on as a member of the faculty.
He taught English and speech
and continued to coach the de
bating team. His athletic days
were over.
In 1936, between hurricanes,
Lyons migrated to Gainesville.
Florida, where he became
head of the English Depart
ment of the University of
Florida. In 1938 he was nam
ed chairman of the Univer
sity's Division of Language
and Literature. These increas
ed duties caused him to aban
don all active instruction and
participation in dramatic and
- coaching activities.
One year Lyons invited Rob
ert Frost to speak at the Uni
versity. The poet accepted. The
temperate climate so thawed out
Frost that he decided to remain
in Gainesville all that winter.
This marked the beginning of
a friendship between Lyons and
Frost which has been instru
mental in bringing Frost to lec
ture at Carolina.
Lyons entered the navy in
1942. He was engaged, in opera
tional training of air navigators.
His duties took him all over
the country, the war ended be
fore he got overseas. Lyons re
turned to Florida late in J1945.
In 1946 he came to Carolina as

WASHINGTON The U. S.
Senate now has an excellent
illustration of why it's disas
trous to have a Senator specu
late on the stock or commodity
market at the same time he is
passing legislation.
. The illustration involves
as usual Sen. Elmer Thomas,
Oklahoma Democrat, who has
speculated in a long list of com
modities all the way from cotton
to sliver. In fact, the tall, gray
haired Senator from Oklahoma
has done so much speculating
that now almost every move he
makes which might influence
the " market ' is suspect.
For instance, Thomas has
been holding up the shipment of
168,000,000 bushels of wheat to
Marshall Plan countries de
spite the fact that he comes
from a wheat state and his
natural inclination should be to
help his own state.
Furthermore, the bill he is
blocking is pretty much rou
tine. It merely clarifies the
question of whether the De
partment of Agriculture or
ECA should pay a 50-cents-per-bushel
subsidy on the ship
ment. No matter which agency
pays, it still comes out of the
taxpayer, so, the bill shouldn't
make much difference to
Thomas.
As Chairman of the
powerful Agriculture Com
mittee, Thomas could have
rushed the bill through the
Senate; weeks ago, but instead
he appointed Olin Johnston of
South Carolina, a cotton Sena-
tor, to hold hearings.
Effect of this delay may over
load the market and force a
drop in wheat prices which
is the last thing Oklahoma
farmers want. Ordinarily, it
would also be the last thing
Senator Thomas would want.
But thanks to his previous
speculating activities, col
leagues can't help wondering
whether Thomas or his specu
lating partner, Dyke Cullum, is
in the wheat market. They don't
; know whether this is true or
not, but they do know that, it
shakes public confidence when
any Senator is constantly under
suspicion for letting his invest
ments or that of his close friends
influence his Senate vote.
Note Sen. Wayne Morse of
Oregon introduced a bill in the
last Congress requiring Sena
tors to file with the SEC a list
of their investments. This was
aimed at Thomas. The bill got
nowhere. Senator Ferguson of
Michigan also started an in
vestigation of Thomas, but was
scared off when Thomas
threatened to investigate him.
Here is what happened when
the Senate ' Judiciary Commit
tee met behind locked doors
to consider the confirmation
of Ex-Senator Sherman Min
ion to be a Supreme Court
Justice. '
Sen. Forrest Donnell of Mis
souri had previously demanded
that Minton make a personal
appearance, but had not re
vealed to his colleagues that he

intended searching Minion's
past all the way back to his
birth. Tip-off came when Don
nell announced: "I have heard
a story that Minton trid to gyp
a court in Indiana."
This turned out to be a busi
ness loan, shared with two
partners, which Minton had paid
in full. No one was gypped
unless it was- Minton.
But Donnell also charged that
Minton owed money to two
banks while he was serving in
the Senate. This brought a sharp
retort from Donnell's fellow
Republican, "Wild Bill" Langer
of North Dakota.
"There isn't a single allega
tion against this man's honesty
or integrity," Langer snorted.
"It is no disgrace in America
to be poor."
Donnell and Ferguson of
Michigan howled the loudest,
over Minton's onetime stand in
the Senate in favor of packing
the Supreme Court. But. Sen.
Herbert O'Conor, Maryland
Democrat, was prepared - for
them. He brought in a stack of
bound volumes, giving every
opinion which Minton had
written since he was appointed
to the Circuit Court of Appeals
in 1941.
O'Conor - announced that his
staff had analyzed every opinion
283 in all.
"I am asking you gentlemen
to point out just one decision
which was in any way political
or which departs in any' way
from the constitution or estab
lished law," the Senator from
Maryland challenged.
But Donnell still had a few
more cards up his sleeve. He
procduced a book review, writ
ten by Minton, in. which a
Supreme Court decision was
branded as "illogical." It turn
ed out, however, that Minton
was only quoting the author
and not speaking for himself.
Donnell also charged that
Minton had tried to stifle the
free press by introducing a bill
to make newspapers criminally
libel for publishing any state
ment they knew to be false.
Finally, Sen. Harley Kilgore.
West Virginia, Democrat,
charged angrily that Donnell
and Ferguson were trying to
force Minion to commit him
self on record, then be tied to
those commitments throughout
his service on the Supreme
Court.
It's damned dangerous,"
warned Kilgore, "to appoint a
man to the Supreme Court who
has been committed at hearings
to a certain course of action."
In the end, only Sen. Alex
Wiley, Wisconsin Republican,
joined Donnell and Ferguson in
voting that Minton should ap
pear. But even Wiley deserted
in the final roll call and voted
to confirm the new Supreme
Court Justice.
While almost 1,000,000 men
were on strike for old-age pen
sions, the House Rules Commit
tee staged a significant closed
door debate on the new social
security bill which increases
such pensions.
