THE GUILFORDIAN VOL XI BASKETBALL TEAM RETURNS FROM DUKE AND UNIVERSITY WITH TWO DEFEATS TALLIED QUAKERS MAKE C EDITABLE 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 1 diversity of N. G. and Duke Uni verstiy. The Quaker squad lost to Duke I niversitv by the score of 34 to 23 and to I . ol Y I ~ 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 tile line up, it seems that the team did not make a bad showing against the two strong teams. DI KE GAME Oil Thursday evening Guilford lost her first collegiate basketball game of the year to Duke I niversitv 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 (Continued on page two) GUILFORD WILL HAVE ANOTHER SUMMER SCHOOL The Summer school which was in stituted at Guilford College last sum mer will lie continued the coining sum mer, beginning June 10th at 8:00 a.m. and will end August Ist at 12 M.

The work of the club lias been held back lor some lime, 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 sinre the holidays. The club is very fortunate in secur- 1 ing additional talent in students coming to Guilford for til efirsl time ibis year. Among these arc Sam Keen, pianist and flutist, and I'aul 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. .1. Gurney Briggs, of Greensboro, Guilford graduate, was chosen earlier in the year to direct the club. Edward Holder \\ ill again serve as pianist, with Paul Reynolds as assistant. AEROPLANE PICTURES 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. Ihe result was that the president employed him to take some different views which are very satisfactory. I bis work was done because pictures of individual buildings do not give a- adequate a conception as a panorama of the entire plant does. In other words tin desire is not only to present to the natural eye but to the mind's eye a better estimation ot the entire ollege equipment. These pictures will be put to practic al use for the college. One will be re produced on blotters for advertising purposes. Ihe others w ill either be published in the Catalogue or in a -pecial view I k, which will also lie used for advertising purposes. The-e pictures are on exhibit in the Library. GUILFORD HIGH PRESENTS "THE DUST OF THE EARTH" The Guilford ('ollege High school Dramatic Council presented to the pub lic. Saturday evening, in Memorial hall. "The Dust of the Earth," a four act play by Kalherine Kevanaugh. It has been the custom for the past sever al years for the High school Dramatic Council to use the College auditorium for the presentation of its plays and this play lias been voted I>> many of the college students as the best vet put out 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 diwi of the earth i the niece of Mr. Moore.

OF IIl;n POINT SCHOOLS DIS CUSSES REQUISITES FOR A FIRST CLASS TEACHER Supt. T. V ingate Andrews, of High I'oillt. addressed the education students and other members of the student body on last \\ cilne-ilav 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. lie referred to the close rela linnship between the people of High Point and Guilford College. As an introduction to his address he lead "School Marin" in the December World's Work, lie 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. Andrew's 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 hould possess or else acquire, be 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 Ktliies" 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 llie highest code of ethical conduct, lie should attempt to set up ideals which uiil prevail in the lives of hi- pupils and lie 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 o| teaching. Ihe authority of the superintendent is based on superior responsibi'itv. A sympathetic effort should be made by the teachers to carry out the purposes of the school system. The teacher should lie allowed to propose changes MI the system through regular chan nel-. In bis relation to the community the teacher should be an example of the finest type of citizen and bis con duit 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 ~ti iv • to the best of his ability to serve the best interest- of the community. He nalioticd the following as impor tant personal qualities of the teacher: physical efficiency, spiritual reverence, enotional -lability, mental alertness, dignified learning, a freedom from e\- cr-sive 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. GURNEY HILL, SPEAKS AT CHAPEL Gurney Ilill. the great American orig inator of new varieties of roses, gave an interesting anil inspiring talk during the chapel period Tuesday. Mr. Ilill, born in England, hut now a resident of Rich mond. Indiana, is a rose culturist or, "rosarian," of international as Well as national reputation. He has won iirst prize at Municipal Rose Garden Show in Paris, and last year his rose "Amer ica.'" won first prize over all entries in tin- British National Horticultural So ciety show. Mr. Ilill 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 11f his favorite flower, the rose. "Who was the artist that painted that flower, who the alchemist thai com pounded that perfume?'* inquired Mr. Hill. "There is onl> one source," said In;, "from which a beautiful thing can come, and that i> God." He stated that th- propagation of new ' varieties of roses is due to the utiliza- | lion of 'sports' or adventitious buds, anil that many ol the most valuable vati ' eties owe their orgiin to this source." i After giving further interesting de scription of his work, and method- of i introducing new varieties, Mr. Ilill elos j eil his address with a plea for young i 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. I'.. . Pel islio delivered a very interesting chapel talk Tuesday Horn ing. lie slated 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- ! tin ing." Dr. Perisho contrasted the -chools 1 of yesterday with those of todav. In' 1020 the expenditures for the common 1 x'hools iii North Carolina wa> *24.000.- 000. This amount has steadily increased until in 1024 the expenditures amounted lo $60,000.0(X). I lie public school ex penses have increased during the same length of time from $13.(KM),000 to $25,000,000. The enrollment during these four years has increased in pro portion. In 1020 the public school en rollment was 690,000. while in 1924 it had increased to 704,000. \\ itli the in "Tease of pupils more teachers were re quired.

DAVIS' ( HICK EN YARD?; DEPART ING STCDENTLEAVES PISTOL CARVED IN ITIALS IN CEILING 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 bear 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 -ince ac complished. Il was a great many years ago, viewed through the eyes of the young people, when the two men's literary societies bad their origin. Hut 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 lo hold the first meeting and make plans, lu the years since the old hall liu* seen those plans and thoughts cliys tallize into action. The older -o city iias gone on as successfully as before and i- -till the Websterian literary -o ciety. The new group, 00, lias grown and is the Henry (!l;iy literary society. Both have sent out men into the world who reflected credit on the organiza tion that trained them. Both have been housed L>> the Old Archdale hall. Most of the graduates of Guilford, who have gone out into the world, and made a name for themselves ami their alma mater have been liou-ed in this old ball. Cox ball lias not been con structed long enough for any of it- grad uate tenants to have accomplished a great deal. But the Moors of the old vine-clad hall which has been almo-t deserted for the last few year- are al most worn through with the tie.ul of men who have since climbed to heights that should be a challenge to those who come behind. Leonard Van Noppen, who has ployed lie pen to be a i ex cellent implement with which to cane out a temple of fame, studied in this little hall In a kerosene lamp. Joseph M.
