WHAT'S WHAT AND WHY
ON THE MAGAZINE SHELF
By Katherine Shields
With each suceeding month we re
view all the magazines. Mostly it's be
cause it's easier to do than anything
else, and, too, if you're in need of mater
ial you can quote at length upon vari
ous sundry and interesting topics. We
are tempted to spend the whole article
upon a eulogy of Theatre Magazine
several copies of which Mrs. Milton
Davis has loaned to the library—but we
realize that others might not be as hope
less in their liking for dramatics as we
are. However, some things are too
good to leave out —among them a long
review of the "sun up," a play that has
enjoyed a phenominal run on Broad
way. It should be of especial interest
to us who are North Carolinians, since
it is a drama of the Carolina mountains
In the same number (Oct., 1923) is a
picture of A. A. Milne, the author of
many successful plays, among them be
ing the "Dover lload" which was the
play given here by the Dramatic coun
cil. He is tall and thin and has hu
morous eyes, and the high forehead that
is supposed to go with the literary tem
perament. His wife looks very literary
.—more so than he.
In the March number is a full page
of scenes from Shaw's "Saint Joan,"
and also Reinhart's "Miracle." But
perhaps one of the most interesting
things to us was a page of scenes from
"The Comedy of Errors'" as presented
by the Carolina Playmakers at the for
est Theatre at the University.
The color section of the November
National Geographic is full of charming
sketches of French peasant life. It is
called '"Flashes of Color Throughout
France" and the quaint streets and
houses and gaily attired peasant wom
en are most interesting. Then there are
two autumn scenes in the forest of
Fontainebleau that might well have
been painted on some hillside in the
Woods around Guilford.
Those who are lovers of the great
humorist, Mark Twain—and they aie
many—will find an article about him in
this month's International Book Review.
It is a discussion of Twain's much talk
ed about Autobiography, by Brander
Mathews, who was one of his closest
friends. But what interested us most
was the picture of Tom Sawyer's cave
Those who hav read this thrilling ac
count of Tom's and Becky's experiences
while lost in the cave, and of Injun Joe
and the half breed will enjoy this pic
ture even more.
None of us should pass over the
World's Work for November. It has
one article that every North Carolinian
should read. We refer to "North Car-
Una's Dream Come True" of which is
one that we all should be proud. So if
you read nothing else, do read that.
We have received official sanction to
enthuse as much as we want to over
House Beautiful—partly because of its
cover this month—just so we didn't ne
lect the other magazines, too much.
Even if you're not addicted to reading
the new magazines, the above mentioned
cover ought to entice one to peer in
side. That's one of the nicest things
about the House Beautiful —it always
has such lovely and unusual backs.
Sometimes they're flaming red or gold
and at others a deep colorful blue like
this one,-but always they hold your at
tention.
•"if course you're one of those ardent
House Beautiful enthusiasts —and there
are several on the campus, who appar
ently live and breathe in the atmos
phere of this delightful periodical and
discuss it with every one they can but
ton-hole and persuade to listen at all,
this is unnecessary
The very first room pictured in it looks
so homey and cheerful with its open fire
and books, and sunlight shining through
the windows in patches on the rug; that
you want to curl up on the nicely cush
ioned sofa, and read forever.
We've discovered that lots of the
nicest things are put in at the very bark
of this magazine—why, nobody knows,
Anyway, this one, about a small log
cabin buried deep in the mountains, is
quite well told. We can certainly ap
preciate the courage of the lady in
question who refused to submit to the
sombre respectability of blue bird and
.vr.dal rose dishes, fumed oak combina
tion library table, book case and writ- i
ing desk, in spite of neighborhood gos
sip and dissapproval. Any how do read
it because you'll like it.
And on the first page, right under the
table of contents, there is a short re
view of the coming Christmas number;
and included with it is a small snap
shot of one of the illustrations. It is a |
tiny low cottage with surrounding fence,
almost buried in the snow. It makes
one feel Christmasy to look at it —and
if you have noticed it, you'll wait even
more impatiently for the Holiday num
ber.
"The Eight Forty Five"—whimsical
extracts from the diary of John Skinner,
Commuter, still continues, much to our
delight. Adventuring after "pick ups"
sound most interesting, and we liked
the drawings most of all.

WIFE OF DR. WORTH
ROSS OF DETROIT, DIES
News has been received at the col
lege of the recent death of Mrs. Worth
Ross, wife of Dr. Worth Ross, of Detroit.
Dr. Ross, a Guilfordian of the class of
1904, is a prominent physician in
Detroit, Michigan. He came to Guilford
only three years, after which he gradu
ated from the medical school. Dr. and
Mrs. Ross and their two children were
visited during the past summer by
Professor and Mrs. Davis, of the Guil
ford faculty.
A pleasant way of smiling is often
worth more to an individual than a
the knowledge of the scientific prin
ciples.
The most interesting .thing in the
world: People, and their attempts al
expression and repression.
If most men wented certain things
half as much as they say they do the}
would have won them long ago.
THE CI! 1 L F O R D I A N
WILL POWER NEEDED FDR
SUCCESS SAYS PRESIDENT
"It is a mark of manhood," said Dr. 1
Binford in a recent chapel talk, "to j
stay in tile game when one is beaten.
Failure to do what one has decided to I
do is a sign of failure and will cause
confidence in such a person to be lost, j
"It is the fellow who is up and at the
job that wins the game. The fellow j
who is used to getting victories over |
himself is apt to get victories over |
others."
The speaker then read a speech by
Dr. Henry Louis Smith, of Washington j
and Lee University. The three leading
points of advice on studying and wisely }
choosing outside activities were: "Sys- j
tematize your daily program of work ;
and play; limit your outside activi
ties and be wise enough and strong
enough to cut out purposeless loafing
and useless recreations; learn to study j
always with white hot concentration." j
Concentration may best be obtained,
according to Dr. Smith, by "making
ones surroundings favorable to intense, j
undivided attention." by "inventing
and adopting methods of stimulating
concentration;" and by "learning to
concentrate one's attention on a sub- j
iect as a matter of will power." The !
last statement of Dr. Smith is particu- j
larlv well-chosen: "To master a dis
tasteful study by sheer power of will
is the most valuable exercise in the [
whole college curriculum."
MR. HAWORTH DISCUSSES
HEREDITARY INFLUENCES
In speaking on the law of heredity, i
Samuel H. Haworth defines his subject j
as the hereditary transmissions of cer
tain physical qualities, mental traits,
and moral tendencies by parents.
In explanation he said, "Our eyes
tare not blue or brown merely as a hap
pen so but somewhere back in one line j
of our family blue or brown eyes domi
nated. Many of our mental traits have
been inherited. In the days when wild
animals were more common, men be
came afraid to go out in the dark for
i fear of being made a prey for some sav
age beast. This trait has been handed
down and the children of today are still
afraid to go out in the dark by them
selves."
I "Moral tendencies are also trans
mitted by law of heredity," says Mr.
j Haworth. He brought out the fact by
contrasting the famous Edwards and
Jukes families.
Jonathan Edwards, born in 1703 was
i noted minister, living to be 88 years
•ild and pastor of one church for 63
years. In 1900, 1,394 of bis descendents
were identified, 295 were college grad
uates ; 53 were presidents of our leading
colleges; 100 were ministers, mission
iries or theological professors; 100 were
prominent lawyers; 30 were judges; one
was vice president of the United States;
a few have been governors and several
have been noted congressmen. It is
not known that any one of them was
ever convicted of any crime,
j' Oil the other hand Max Jukes, born
in 1720 was a drunkard who Would not
work. 1200 of his descendents have
been identified, having been occupants
of penal and charitable institutions,
j orevious to 1874. None of them were
ever elected to office, nor did they con
tribute anything to public welfare. On
the contrary they cost society more than
SI.OOO each.
In conclusion. Mr. Haworth said that
it was our duty to transmit to the future
| generation the best physical qualities,
the best moral tendencies and mental
traits possible.
Solomon's proverb, "Gpt understand
ing" necessarily may not apply to edu
cition but to common sense.
