Statistics Regarding Students
Reveal Interesting Facts
Up to Monday, September 27, two
hundred and twenty four students
have registered at Guilford, as com
pared with two hundred and sixteen
at the same time last year. The
group is slightly less l'epresentative.
four fewer counties and one less
state being represented than last
year. The most striking change has
been ihe increases in Yadkin. Davie,
Montgomery and Perquimans Coun
ties. As might be expected the great
majority of the students come
from nine counties of which Guilford
is the center. Three other centers
of Guilford influence will be noted
in the counties about Goldsboro, at
Belvidere in Perquimans and in
Northhampton. To these should be
added the district about Ivor. Vir
ginia.
The age of the boys shows a slight
decrease from last year, indicating a
gradual decline toward the normal
age of 18. The average for forty
eight new boys is 18.7 years against
18.8 years a year ago. The girls
average is almost exactly the same
as a year ago. For sixty-two new
girls it is 18.1 years. One boy stated
that he was born June 24, 1920. He
is therefore the youngest member
of the Freshman class. One gii'l
put down the month and the date
of her birth burt neglected to mention
the year although the question ask
ed was "What is your age?"
The number of Friends is not
quite up to the number last year.
The Baptists show a decided gain
while the other denominations have
almost the same record as a year ago.
Of one hundred and thirteen new
students fifty two are graduates
from High School. Whiteston High
School (Perquimans county) has con
tributed seven of its graduates to
the Freshman Class. Pleasant Gar
den and Thomasville have sent three
each and the following schools are
each l-epresented by two: Liberty.
Pineland, Troy, Free Will Baptist
Seminary, Greensboro, South Buffa
lo. Farmer, Rural Hall, High Point.
Elkin. East Bend, Monticello. Fif
teen other schools sent one graduate
each.
The number of boys is one hundred
exactly half of whom are new stu
dents. The number of girls is one
hundred and twenty-four with two

Obligations of Citizenship
Professor W. C. Jackson of North
Carolina College for Women
Speaks to Guilford
Students
"Obligations of Citizenship" was
the subject very ably discussed by
Professor W. C. Jackson on Saturday
evening Sept. 25th.
In beginning—Professor Jackson
said that there were two things that
all college students should know.
First, the principle of Evolution
which is the principle of growth, or
change. From early times History
has shown that all institutions have
passed through a process of devel
opment.
The sscond principle which every
college student should know is love-
People learn to work in the right
way through the principle of love.
The greatest thing in all the world
is the power and force of love.
It adds to efficiency, and helps to
develop the spirit of brotherhood.
Through love all humanity is bound
together as one unit.
"It is all important that college
students should know the principles
of citizanship," said Professor Jack
son. These principles may be com
pared to a stream which has five
currents. The first current is a re
ligious instinct. Every one possess
es some sort of religious instinct
and any one who puts this aside
loses the real important things in
life. r ihe other principles are, ed
ucation, the social instinct, econom
ic and lastly te political. The polit
ical or state has control over all
these principles in reality. The
state has control over the school,
also the social life which is the fam
ily. Speaking from the economic
standpoint the state controls the in
dustry and labor. Then lastly the
state controls politically. "What then
controls the state? The vote is the
power that controls the state." said
Professor Jackson. "The ballot is
the most powerful thing in all the
world at the present time. For this
reason everyone should know the im
portance of democratic obligations.
Every person who has the right to
the ballot and does not vote is de
feating the cause of democracy. Vo
ting requires intelligence, informa
tion, and knowing the men who are
the political leaders. With the bal
lot the American people are going
to determine the great racial' prob
lem. The negroes are now demand
ing certain rights; the ballot, jus
tice in court, education, defense
from lynchings, etc. It is up to the
people who vote to help solve this
problem.
Another great question which
must be determined by the ballot is
the question of the Japanese in Cal
ifornia, immigration, and so on. All
such problems must be determined
by the ballot. The legislature of
North Carolina will do what the
people ask and compel it to do.
This will be done by the ballot. Is
it not then all-important that the
people of America awake to these
obligations of citizenship?
Professor Jackson in closing read
the words of the well known song,
"America the Beautiful," which was
very effective.
Foot Ball Season
Opens Saturday
Gpilford to Meet Roanoke in
High Point
Coach Doak is well pleased with
his fool ball prospects for this year.
With eight ''letter" men forming the
framework of the team, and the oth
er positions filled with men from
last year's scrub teams, this year's
aggregation promises to be much
stronger than that of the past season.
Four of the men from last year's
team are back field men. Beside?
the men of the scrub team who bat
tled the "varsity" team all last sea
son, a number of valuable men from
high schools have reported for prac
tice. Daily practices and frequent
scrimmages are rapidly shaping die
team for the opening game of the
season.
Guijford will open her foot ball
season by playing Roanoke College
in High Point, October 2. The fol
lowing is the probable line-up which
Coach Doak will start in the game:
Right end, J. C. Newlin. Newlin
proved his ability to handle the "pig
skin" last year. Right tackle, B.
Shore. "Babe" never "wipes off the

GIRLS IN OUT-OF-DOOR
EXERCISE BEFORE
BREAKFAST
Did von see, or hear about, those
17 girls who reported for "gym"
last Thursday morning before break
fast? Do you know what that means?
It means that athletics are booming:
it means that the Y. W. A. A. is be
ginning another year with greater
prospects for success than ever be
fore." This is an expression that
leaped from the lips of an athletic
spirited Guilford girl.
Guilford considers itself fortunate
it) securing Miss Mildred Crabb as
director. She comes full of enthusi
asm, energetic, and with many new
ideas. Miss Crabb, Miss INoles and
Miss Roberts form the advisory
committee.
Dovie Hayworth has been elected
President of the Association. One
ol her characteristics is doing every
thing wholeheartedly, with the hest
of her ability. She lias assumed her
responsibilities with no less enthu
siasm than usual.
The other members of the cabinet
are: Secretary, Nelle Carrol; Treas
urer, Florence Cox; liase ball Mgr.,
Edna Raiford; Basket ball Mgr., Is
la Willis Thompson; Hiking M°r.
Okie Raiford.
In addition lo these department
two others have been added this
year. Volley ball has been started
with Elizabeth \ ates as manager, and
Hazel Richardson is Social Chair
man. Phis department has in charge
the social functions of the Athletic
Assoeiainot. From time to time so
cials, picnics, camp suppers will be
planned to promote athletics and to
create a more democratic feeling
among the girls.
With the leadership of the adviso
ry committee and this excellent cab
inet, and the cooperation of all the
girls, surely there is a great future in
store for the Y. W. A. A. of Guilford.
