TURNER GIVES PICTURE OF LIFE IN PALESTINE Present Day Costumes of Holy Land Similar to Those Discribed in the Bible CAMELS TROUBLE TRAFFIC COPS In chapel Tuesday morning Mr. Tur ner gave an interesting talk on his work in Palestine. Mr. Turner was there as a Y. M. C. A. worker from the Friends organization. "The Jews wanted Palestine," said Mr. Turner, "because they believe they would go back sometime and occupy it as a holy center; therefore, it was a momentous incident when they cap tured it from the Turks. There were three religious sects present in Pales tine at that time—the Mohammedans, the Jews, and the Gentiles." Mr. Turner continued by saying that Main street in Jerusalem represents all the religious life of the world ; there you will see many interesting as well as peculiar customs. The people wear the same head-covering as Moses, and Joseph's coat of many colors is not an uncommon sight. Even more interest ing is the fact that the holes where the shepherds once slept are still to be found. It is not unusual to look out some morning and see a shepherd with his sheep gathered about him blowing his flute. Contrary to our custom, a man is not allowed to speak to a woman 011 the street nor to assist her if she falls down. Mr. Turner ended by saying that the traffic cops have a complicated problem in regulating the traffic of camels and automobiles. Always the machine must get out of the way, for the camel keeps going. Qy THE GUILFORDIAN MISS KOPF STARTINC NEW RESEARCH WORK The splendid and original work being done by the Guilford College home eco nomies department was praised very highly by the head of the State Depart ment of Home Economics, Mr. Ililiman, and the state supervisor, Miss Ogleby, during a recent observational visit to the local department. Miss Minnie Kopf, a college teacher of wide experience, and who estab lished and equipped the Guilford home economics department, is starting some research work which the state depart ment says is new to the South and to the majority of home economics teach ers. In order that her students may bet ter understand the relations of food to the body, Miss Kopf lias secured some white rats and some pigeons. These animals and birds are to be fed a cer tain diet for a certain length of time. At the end of each day they will be weighed carefully and their footprints will be taken. In a few weeks the re sults of her efforts will be published. Iler idea in making these tests is not only to make discoveries concerning food relations to the body, but to teach her large classes of girls, nearly all of whom expect to be high school teachers, to make similar tests in their home com munities. Miss Kopf is endeavoring to teach her girls to operate the home on a busi ness-like basis. "Successful men or ganize their business," she says, "and a successful housekeeper must learn to do the same." She is now giving her classes a special course in practical menus, teaching them to plan well bal anced and nutritious meals. Each girl, figuratively speaking, is given the in- EDUCATIONAL WORK SUBJECT OF WALKER Spoke Before College Faculty and Student Body in Me morial Hall Sat. Night. DANGERS IN RESTRICTION Dean N. YV\ Walker of the University of North Carolina talked to the Guil ford College students Saturday evening on educational problems. "It is difficult to know what we are to do today with our educational ma chinery. What are we setting out to do when we educate?" questioned Dean Walker. The people are waiting with great hope and faith to education as the main means or ways of social prog ress. Education is one instrument by which a people lifts itself to a higher plane of living." There are two main issues before the American people of today. One issue that is supremely important for the social and individual well-being is the freedom of thought against intolerant view of things. "There is a great dan ger," Professor Walker said, "of re stricting the human life of people." A second issue is the man versus the machine, or vice-versa: the dollar ver sus the child, for example; the economic element in life versus the human ele ment. The economic affairs should he regulated in accordance with human needs. A great nation will put at the heart of civilization the thought that men and women are human beings in stead of the dollar mark. Nearly everything in America is machine men. Students of today are guided by regu lations and clock hours. "Regulations once set up," explained Dean Walker, "become regulators in life." The following conditions were elab (Continued on Page Pour) GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., JANUARY 19, 1927 come of a family of five in which there is at least one child not less than two years of age. This family uses not less than two quarts of milk per day. A careful study is made of the amount of food necessary for this size family and also attractive ways of using the left over food from the previous meals. This is just a beginning of the work being done and next year .Miss Kopf hopes to follow up what has already been started and to make it practical enough so that her students will not be wholly ignorant of menu-planning and buying things at retail and whole sale. It is her idea to give all her stu dents some ideas and knowledge that can be used in high school teaching, in the smaller institutions, cafeterias, and school lunch rooms. One of the most practical courses that is offered is the one in which the girls are taught to make over garments in such a way that they can scarcely be told from new ones. The aim of this class is to make over old garments, tak ing time and pains to plan them artis tically, economically, and keeping in mind that they must have as little ap pearance of old garments as possible. Miss Kopf has had wide experience as a student and teacher of home eco nomics. She taught in northern schools for several years and was at the Cen tral Normal College at Danville, In diana, for one year. From there she came to Guilford where she organized and equipped the home economics de partment, established a hot lunch, and was for three years dietition. Last summer she took a special course in institutional management and market ing at Columbia University. WHEELER TALKS ON FORESTRY PROBLEM Carelessness and Extravagance Cause Rapid Decrease in U. S. Timber Supply FIRE IS THE CHIEF EVII, 11. 11. Wheeler, chief lecturer of the United States Forest Service conserva tion, lectured in chapel Thursday morning. Mr. Wheeler is going to the different colleges and high schools of the state speaTdng in the interest of forest con servation. He first discussed the eco nomical phases, giving many statistics along this line. Ninety per cent of the houses are made of wood; it takes 7,500 acres of timber land to make the Sunday editions of the newspapers; most of the food we eat is transported in wooden or cardboard boxes, and it takes 2(5,000 feet of timber yearly to produce these boxes. There are many substitutes for wood, but none answers the purpose so well as does wood. Trees help to hold the soil together; they draw the moisture out of the earth and by transpiration feed plants or help vegetation. Those countries that are practicing forestry are the countries that are ahead. Forest flres are most times started by carelessness, camp-fires, cigarette stubs, matches thrown down before ex tinguished, and many burn grass or leaves to improve land, which is wrong. One can bum in a few minutes what has for many years been develop ing in the soil. A single leaf contains $5.80 worth of nitrogen. Rangers may, after a long time, with much damage, stop a fire, but they can't prevent them from starting unless each individual does his or her part in preventing them.

YOCUM ACCOMPANIST On Wednesday evening, January 10, at 8:30 o'clock, the winter recital of the music department was given in Memorial hall. The concert was a com bination of piano and vocal music. The piano students of Miss Yocum showed the greatest skill in technical work. The difficult passages were ren dered with ease and delicacy. Every number was given with the most artis tic interpretation. The work of these pupils showed much progress in musical lines and with such work certainly a strong piano department is to develop. The voice numbers of Mr. White's pupils were well given and received. Each singer sang with good tone pro duction and good diction.

PERISHO SPEAKS OF TRIP TO WASHINGTON Is Member of "Citizens Committee of One Thousand" which Held Its Third Annual Meeting ALL THE STATES REPRESENTED During the chapel period Friday morning, January 14, Dr. Perisho gave an account of the third annual meeting of the "Citizens Committee of One Thousand," which occurred at Wash ington, I). C., the sixth of January. The committee is composed of prom inent citizens from every state in the Union and is devoted to the discussion of questions relating to law observance and law enforcement in the United States. The thousand members of the committee co-operate with the churches, city organizations, literary organiza tions, and clubs in the effort to create a mass of public opinion that will aid in the general realization of the ideals toward which the committee works. The nature of the problems consid ered in the meetings is indicated by quotations from two of the speakers. Raymond Robins, of Chicago, said: "Only in the conviction that war is a crime, can we have peace. It is the business of all peace-loving forces to help create a public opinion that will in one generation outlaw war." Morris Shepherd, United States sen ator from Texas, affirmed that: "The first test of the efficiency of the Con stitution of the United States is in its enforcement," for which every citizen is responsible with respect to the 18th amendment as to the rest of the Con stitution. Bui Exams Go on Forever * 1 QUAKER QUINT LOSES A COUPLE OF GAMES IN ITS FIRST SERIES Defeated by A. C. C. in a Close Game 22-17—Wake Forest Also Wins 43-17 DOAK CHANGES LINE-UP Game With A. C. C. is Fast and Close While Baptist Tussle Is Slitrhtly Lopsided In Score Marks The Guilford basketball team played two games last week, namely with A. C. C. and Wake Forest. " lie game on Friday night was lost to A. C. C. by the close score of 22 to .17. Guilford started off as if she would win the game in good fashion, but after a few minutes a slump came and she did not recover until the latter part of the game. For the lirst ten minutes the score was tied, but A. 0. C. took a spurt and scored six )K>ints to end the half 12 to Gin their favor. By making numerous substitutions, Guilford slightly outplayed A. ('. C. on the last half, but could never quite overcome the early lead. The game was marred by roughness and poor officiating. Guil ford had an off-night in shooting, both from the field and the foul line. Out of 18 free shots only five were made. Moore was the outstanding player for Guilford, while Munn played best for A. C. C. On Saturday night Wake Forest was encountered at Wake Forest and Guil ford was beaten by the score of 4o to 17. It was a fast and nicely played game. The game started off with a rush, Wake Forest scoring first, but im mediately afterward Guilford scored. Wake Forest added a foul shot, making the count three-two. Wake Forest was finding trouble in getting through Guil ford's defense. Wake Forest scored again, but Guilford kept pace when Smith got a pretty one from the floor. Guilford then took the lead when Mar shall shot a field goal, the score being (!-5. But at this point Wake Forest began drawing away and the half ended 2:5-10. The second half was an exhibition of fast, clean basketball, but the younger and inexperienced Guilford team was unable to cope with their more experi (Continued 011 Page Two) DR. HOBBS DISCUSSES JOSEPH MOORE'S LIFE Was One of North Carolina's Recon structors In Educational Lines. Taught at Guilford OPENED FIRST NORMAL SCHOOL Dr. L. TJ. Ilobbs spoke in ehajvel here January 10 on the life of Joseph Moore. Joseph Moore was a prominent teacher and preacher. He came to North Carolina immediately after the Civil War to relieve Friends who had suffered during the war; to Iniild schools in Friends communities and to check the immigration of Friends to the west. In 18>(i he held the first normal school ever held in North Car olina. He made the first commence ment address at Guilford College in 1880. Governor North, of North Carolina, said: "The work of Joseph Moore in organizing schools in North Carolina is the best piece of constructive work ever (lone in this state." For a number of years Mr. Moore was president of Earlhain College, where he was highly valued—due to his win ning personality and to tbe fact that he was always true to himself and hence was always true to others.
