Much favorable information con
tinues to come from The Quaker staff
in regard to the progress of the annual.
It is with great satisfaction that sta
tistics say, all the seniors have paid
their cut fees, likewise, all the juniors,
three-fourths of the sophomores, and
one-half of the freshmen.
The most of the group pictures have
been taken. In fact, all the photo
graphic work is expected to be finished
and in the hands of (lie staff within
the next two weeks.
Practically all the art work lnis been
completed. The general appearance of
the publication is of interest. Maroon
and gray bindings of stiff molloy cov
ering is attractively designed with a
background of maroon and a well-de
signed insert of gray. A unique de
sign for a uniform border page has
been produced. In the lower part of
the border is to appear a small pen
drawing of old New Garden Meeting
House. The fly-leaf pages also carry
out the Quaker idea, having a home
spun background appearance with an
insert of a Quaker maid and a Quaker
man, respectively. Other minor buil
ders, as well as the cartoons, will add
nulch to the interest of the publication.
All the copy is to be finished by Feb

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-

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."

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.

The piano students of Miss Yocum
showed the greatest skill in technical
work. The difficult passages were ren

number was given with the most artis

DR. 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.

Also Wins 43-17

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

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.
