BASKETBALL TEAM BETUBNS
FROM BUKE ANO UNIVERSITY
WITH TWO DEFEATS TALLIED
QUAKERS MAKE CEDITABLE SHOW
ING WITH THREE REGULARS
—TEWS ANKLE SPRAINED
The Quaker Quint played its first
collegiate basketball games of the year
last Thursday and Friday nights, meet
ing University of N. C. and Duke Uni
verstiy. The Quaker squad lost to Duke
University by the score of 34 to 23 and
to U. of N. C., 47 to 10. By the score
it seems that Guilford did not make a
very impressive "debut" for the year,
but considering the fact that three of
Guilford's regulars were out of the
line up, it seems that the team did not
make a bad showing against the two
strong teams.
DUKE GAME
On Thursday evening Guilford lost
her first collegiate basketball game of
the year to Duke University on their
court by the score of 34 to 23.
The game was fast and clean through
out, although the Quakers trailed be
hind all through the game, nevertheless,
it was a hard fought contest and Duke
was not assured of victory until the last
few minutes of the game. For the
victors Kimball was the bright light and
high scorer with 12 points, but Bul
lock followed closely witht 10. For the
Quakers Frazier and R. Smith showed
the best form considering the early part

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., JANUARY 21, 1925
GLEE CLUB BEGINS WORK
PREPARATORY FOR TOUR
NEW TALENT ADDED TO COLLEGE
MUSICAL ORGANIZATION—J.GUR
NEY BRIGGS TO DIRECT CLUB
At a recent meeting of the Guilford
College Glee club the personnel of the
club was permanently chosen and the
club is arranging for the year's work.
The work of the club has been held
back for some time, due to sickness of
responsible Both Edward
Holder and Paul Reynolds have been
unable to attend classes for some time.
Mr. Holder has not returned to school
since the holidays.
The club is very fortunate in secur
ing additional talent in students coming
to Guilford for th efirst time this year.
Among these are Sam Keen, pianist and
flutist, and Paul Reynolds, pianist, who
are valuable additions to the orchestra.
The orchestra has been increased to 13
pieces and will this year, as in last
year's performances figure largely in
the program. With such a start, in
spite of the unlucky number in the
orchestra, the management hopes to
equal if not exceed the splendid work
done by the organization last year.
J. Gurney Briggs, of Greensboro,
Guilford graduate, was chosen earlier
in the year to direct the club. Edward
Holder will again serve as pianist, with
Paul Reynolds as assistant.
AEROPLANTPICTURES
OF GUILFORD SECURED
The Southern Air Service of Charlotte
has made some excellent airplane pic
tures of the entire campus and College
buildings. At first they were made
without the knowledge of even the
President, until one day last fall, a
representative of the Southern Air Ser
vice called on Dr. Binford, with the
pictures that he had taken. The result
was that the president employed him to
take some different view's which are
very satisfactory. This work was done
because pictures of individual buildings
do not give as adequate a conception as
a panorama of the entire plant does.
In other words the desire is not only to
present to the natural eye but to the
mind's eye a better estimation of the
entire College equipment.
These pictures will be put to practic
al use for the college. One will be re
produced on blotters for advertising
purposes. The others will either be
published in the Catalogue or in a
special view book, which will also be
used for advertising purposes.
These pictures are on exhibit in the
Library.
GUILFORD HIGH PRESENTS
"THE DUST OF THE EARTH"
The Guilford College High school
Dramatic Council presented to the pub
lic, Saturday evening, in Memorial
hall, ''The Dust of the Earth," a four
i act play hy Katherine Kevanaugh. It
has been the custom for the past sever
al years for the High school Dramatic
j Council to use the College auditorium
for the presentation of its plays and
this play has been voted by many of the
! college students as the best yet put out
J by that organization.
"The Dust of the Earth" has been a
very popular play and has been given
by a number of high schools in this
section of the state. The action center
ed around the hate of Susan Moore and
her daughter, Elizabeth, for Nell (the
dnst of the earth) the niece of Mr.
Moore. Nell had been brought there by
her mother who had died before she
| told whom she had married, when she
ran away from home several years be
fore. Elizabeth was trying to make a
match with rich John Ryder, master of
the Moples who had inherited the es
tate when young Tom Osborne had dis
appeared (the same year that Elannr
had). But her efforts were all in vain

EOUGATIONAL DEPARTMENT
HEARS WINGATE ANDREWS
SUPT. OF HIGH POINT SCHOOLS DIS
CUSSES REQUISITES FOR A
FIRST CLASS TEACHER
Supt. T. Wingate Andrews, of High
Point, addressed the education students
and other members of the student body
on last Wednesday evening. Mr. An
drews paid a high tribute to Guilford
county as having more high schools and
colleges than any other county in the
state. He referred to the close rela
tionship between the people of High
Point and Guilford College.
As an introduction to his address he
read '"School Marin" in the December
World's Work. He stated that compe
tent teaching is demanded now as never
before. The two great problems of the
superintendent, according to Mr. And
rews, are how to secure sufficient mon
ey to run the proper kind of schools
and how to return this money in the
form of adequate service.
"School teaching," he asserted, "is
not primarily a money-making profes
sion, but teachers must make a good
living for they get no reduced rates on
what they buy." The present salaries
in the opinion of Supt. Andrews are
fairly adequate.
Mr. Andrews insisted that teachers
should have a great deal of general
knowledge, as well as knowledge of the
subjects they teach and of the theory of
education. He recommended atten
dance at summer schools for the pur
pose of taking additional courses in
educational theory. Among other things
that a teacher or prospective teacher
should possess or else acquire, he men
tioned social conventions, so as to feel
at home in any situation, a knowledge
of some of the practical things of the
business world, current events, history,
science, for teachers should teach
boys and girls" and not subjects only.
The speaker read the "Teachers' Code
of Ethics" which was published in the
September "North Carolina Educe
tion." Some of the high lights in the
code were: "Public education is the
great creative process by means of
which society consciously strives to raise
the standard of civilization. A teacher
should have the highest ideals of life,
the highest type of character, and the
highest code of ethical conduct. He
should attempt to set up ideals which
will prevail in the lives of his pupils
and be radiated out into the communi
ty. The teacher must recognize and
respect the inalienable rights of child
hood and the individuality of the pupil.
Sympathy and justice, not condescen
sion, should be the teacher's attitude.
Cooperation rather than obedience is
the aim of education. Cooperation
should mark the attitude of teachers to
ward each other, and toward the super
intendent. The teacher's object is to
see that pupils are well prepared for life
when they leave him. Loyalty to a com
mon cause is the keynote of teaching.
The authority of the superintendent
is based on superior responsibi'ity. A
sympathetic effort should be made by
the teachers to carry out the purposes
of the school system. The teacher
should be allowed to propose changes
MI the system through regular chan
nels. In his relation to the community
the teacher should be an example of
the finest type of citizen and his con
duct should be such as to elevate the
moral standards of the community."
Mr. Andrews particularly stressed the
importance of picking the best asso
ciates in the community and refraining
from doing anything that would offend
against the moral standards of the com
munity. Further, the teacher should
strive to the best of his ability to serve
the best interests of the community.
He mentioned the following as impor
tant personal qualities of the teacher:
physical efficiency, spiritual reverence,
emotional stability, mental alertness,
dignified learning, a freedom from ex
cessive self-esteem. He strongly advo
cated the utilization of properly super
vised play in the school program.
Eventful History of Archdale
Discloses Interesting Stories
FAMOUS ROSARIAN, 6URNEY
HILL, SPEAKS AT CHAPEL
Gurney Hill, the great American orig
inator of new varieties of roses, gave an
interesting and inspiring talk during the
chapel period Tuesday. Mr. Hill, born
in England, but now a resident of Rich
mond, Indiana, is a rose culturist or,
"rosarian," of international as well as
national reputation. He has won first
prize at Municipal Rose Garden Show
in Paris, and last year his rose "Amer
ica," won first prize over all entries in
the British National Horticultural So
ciety show.
Mr. Hill stated that the sentence
which influenced him to follow his ca
reer of creative rose culture was this:
''He who would have beautiful roses in
his garden must first have beautiful
roses in his mind and heart."
After discussing the possible origin
of chrysanthemums from dog fennel,
and mentioning the notable improve
ment in size and beauty of the chrysan
themum, the speaker turned to the dis
cussion of his favorite flower, the rose.
"Who was the artist that painted that
flower, who the alchemist that com
pounded that perfume?" inquired Mr.
Hill. "There is only one source,"
said he, "from which a beautiful thing
can come, and that is God."
He stated that the propagation of new
varieties of roses is due to the utiliza
tion of 'sports' or adventitious buds, and
that many of the most valuable vari
eties owe their orgiin to this source."
After giving further (interesting de
scription of his work, and ipethods of
introducing new varieties, Mr. Hill clos
ed his address with a plea for young
people "to dream dreams, fix ideals in
the minds, think out plans they want to
pursue, get Christ in their lives."
DR. PERISHO DISCUSSES
STATE'S RAPID PROGRESS
Dr. E. C. Perisho delivered a very
interesting chapel talk Tuesday morn
ing. He stated that North Carolina had
grown more in wealth per capita in the
past ten years than any other state.
"Today our state ranks fifth in agri
culture and first in cotton manufac
turing."
Dr. Perisho contrasted the schools
of yesterday with those of today. In
1920 the expenditures for the common
schools in North Carolina was $24,000,-
000. This amount has steadily increased
until in 1924 the expenditures amounted
to $60,000,000. The public school ex
penses have increased during the same
length of time from $13,000,000 to
$25,000,000. The enrollment during
these four years has increased in pro
portion. In 1920 the public school en
rollment was 690,000, while in 1924 it
had increased to 794,000. With the in
crease of pupils more teachers were re
quired. During hte same period of time
the number of teachers increased from
17.000 to 22,000. The length of the term
of North Carolina rural schools has
been steadily increasing also. In 1920
the average term was 126 days, while
in 1924 it bad lengthened to an average
of 136 days. The legislature is now

Viewed as symmetrical piles of brick
or stone, sometimes old buildings are
as uninteresting as so much more clay
and sand thrown up into a heap. But
when old associations are aroused and
related to such walls the whole edifice
begins to glow with human interest and
becomes almost a living thing with the
ability to speak out of the past.
If old Archdale hall could speak of
the days since first it became a part of
the college it would have a story that
would hold the interest of all who might
hear it. It could speak of its aristo
cratic youth in the early nineties when
it was the pride of the whole college.
In fact, it was one of the good dormi
tories of the state. It could tell of
those who have been housed within it
while they pursued their course in think
ing which would make them capable of
accomplishing what they have since ac
complished.
It was a great many years ago, viewed
through the eyes of the young people,
when the two men's literary societies
had their origin. But Archdale hall
saw the sort of mutual secession of
about a dozen from the older group and
saw that group gather in a downstairs
room to hold the first meeting and make
plans. In the years since the old hall
has seen those plans and thoughts chys
tallize into action. The older soceity
has gone on as successfully as before
and is still the Websterian literary so
ciety. The new group, 00, has grown
and is the Henry Clay literary society.
Both have sent out men into the world
who reflected credit on the organiza
tion that trained them. Both have been
housed by the Old Archdale hall.
Most of the graduates of Guilford,
who have gone out into the world, and
made a name for themselves and their
alma mater have been housed in this
old hall. C .'ox hall has not been con
structed long enough for any of its grad
uate tenants to have accomplished a
great deal. But the floors of the old
vine-clad hall which has been almost
deserted for the last few years are al
most worn through with the tread of
men who have since climbed to heights
that should be a challenge to those who
come behind. Leonard Van Noppen,
who has proved the pen to be an ex
cellent implement with which to carve
out a temple of fame, studied in this
little hall by a kerosene lamp. Joseph

highest honors the people of Montana,
could give, prepared for this position
within these proud old walls. Clement
Meredith, who has since become a mem
ber of the University of Richmond fac
ulty made his home in this old hall.

ascertain some of the facts concerning
