Home for Christmas
by GREYHOUND
By Peggy Chears
Criticisms of contemporary edu
cation come from President Dar
den of the University of Virginia
and from Dr. Edgar W. Knight,
professor of Education at Carolina.
President Darden proposed that
compulsory high school education
be discontinued in Virginia. He
stated that “by keeping unwilling,
uninterested and comparatively less
competent children in high school,
the state is watering down the
quality of instruction.”
Proposes Better Preparation
His proposal is to prepare per
spective college students better
while they are in high school by
eliminating the slow, indolent
learners. He advocates more vo
cational schools for the compara
tively incompetent students who
cease to pursue formal education.
Both Darden and Professor
Knight advocate the use of Jeffer
sonian principles in education.
Knight compared the administra
tion of today’s educational system
to the complicated administrative
machinery of the piedieval church.
“The constant invention of new
academic degrees has reached a
preposterous and perhaps perilous
point in the country,” Dr. Knight
said.
Unqualified Graduate Work
Dr. Knight charged that the col
leges not qualified were fostering
so-called graduate work. He
pointed out that this year nearly
60,000 master’s degrees were grant
ed in more than 70 fields and one-
third of these were in professional
education.
Both Professor Knight and Pre
sident Darden should be happy to
learn that the University Senate,
by unanimous vote, abolished the
bachelor of science degree in Phy
sical Education from the Univer
sity of Virginia.
Stephens College stated its philo
sophy of education as an attempt
to teach young women what they
need in life—both private and so
cial life. The emphasis is placed
on the individual to help to de-
velope her personality. Stephens
concept of the aim of education is
similar to Salem. Salem’s goal is
to prepare the “individual for life
in society and for inevitable soli
tude”. The faculty of Salem is
now working to revise land improve
its goals.
Duke, U. N. C. Form Band
Although Duke and Carolina are
bitter rivals during the football
season, they have joined together
to form a dance orchestra. The
Duke Cavaliers. The orchestra is
led by a Duke senior, but the
majority of members are Carolina
men.
Although most of the orchestra’s
work is done on the Duke and
Carolina campuses, the group plays
for functions in this state, Virginia
and some of the other southern
areas.

! Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests
No.30...THE SQUIRREL
G R E Y H
T
his nimble-minded nutcracker almost
tumbled for those tricky cigarette mildness tests.
But he worked himself out of a tight spot when
he suddenly realized that cigarette mildness
just can’t be judged by a mere puff or one single
sniff. Smokers everywhere have reached this
conclusion—there’s just one real way to prove the
flavor and mildness of a cigarette.
It’s the sensible test ... the 30-Day Camel
Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try
Camels as your steady smoke—on a pack-after-pack,
day-after-day basis. No snap judgments. Once
you’ve enjoyed Camels for 30 days in your
“T-Zone” (T for Throat, T for Taste),
you’ll see why ...
After all the Mildness Tests ...
