graphs, telephones, and only one
single-track railroad. This is a
region of long severe winters; the
people live in very primitive
homes. Their farming imple
ments are the crudest sort; they
reap their crops with hand sickles
and thresh them with flails.
"In this region a famine occurs
every ten years, when there is a
great drought. After the coun
try had been ravaged by the
White and Red armies and the
in-roads of the Czecho-Slovakian-.
came the terrible famine. Some
people ate bread compounded of
grain mingled with ground bone.
During that terrible winter of
1921-22, thousands perished, dead
bodies lay in piles. Many par
ents gave all the remaining food
to the children, sacrificing their
own lives. Cannibalism was prac
ticed, human flesh was actually
offered for sale.
"The great numbers of orphans
in Russia, perhaps five million
will present a stupendous prob
lem for Russia to solve in the
future. Since three fourths of
the horses were dead, the people
had to spade the ground, or
hitch themselves to the plows.
Their daily ration now is twelve
ounces of shelled corn, supple
mented by grass.
Speaking on Sitnday at the stu
dents' Sunday School, Mr. Ken
worthy said : "Despite rumors to
the contrary, people of Russia
are allowed freedom to worship
in their own way. The present
system of Government permits
this freedom as long as it does
not conflict with the political is
sues of the day,
"However, the newspapers have
exploited the persecution of num
bers of priests, the robbing of
the churches. The Bolsheviki
government claims to be atheist
ic. Naturally in the grind of the
military rule, officials of the Cath
olic church in Russia have come
under the iron heel of the law
The issue then becomes, to the
public eye, a conflict between
government and church, without
proper investigation being accord
ed.
"You have all heard of rob
bery of the churches in Russia.
The Russians through genera
tions of practice and tradition
have developed a ritual which re
quires three hours to carry out.
They have accumulated untold
wealth for the decoration of the
church robes of the priests. When
starvation faced the Russian peas
ants the officials of the govern
ment asked the church for some
of their surplus wealth to help
buy food for the famine-struck
multitude. They refused. It
was then that -the government
seized the gems and accumulated
wealth of the great churches
against the protests of the church
officials. The government is rec
ognizing the dire need of the peo
ple and doing everything possible
for the people. But they are un
able to meet the sudden desola
tion that has overcome the coun
try and people. They need the
help of the outside world."
J. Hodges Ricks, 'OS, of Rich

between Greensboro, Durham,
Wake Forest', Raleigh and

cerning some question of re

intendent of Public Instruction
of North Carolina, attended the
meeting this year to investigate
the methods of the association.
In an address he explained that
the problem confronting the
schools of 'the State; was how
much science should be instituted
in the lower grades of the school.
Further, people had come to the
realization ti at science is the ba
sis of education in public schools
and therefore should be stressed
to a greater extent.
A. A. Dixon, class of 'O9, now
instructor at the State college,
Raleigh, read two papers, one on
"An Electrolytic Interrupter" and
"A Review of the Work on Iso
topes."
S. C. Smith, 'lB, doing graduate
work at the University of North

Between Dichloroacetic Acid and
Aromatic Amines."
William Wolf, '2:5, newly elect
