science, delivered a lecture before
the members of the Commonwealth
Club of Durham last Friday evening.
The subject was: "The Commission
Form of Government." This formed

In a brief, informal, but very
forceful talk to the students at the
regular chapel exercises at Trinity
College recently President William
P. Few urged members of all classes
not yet members "to consider with
great care and earnestness" the im
portance of actively identifying with
one of the three literary organiza
tions of the institution. "Education,
cultivation, and culture," he de
clared, "are not matters of mere ac
quisition. Self expression, through
effective public speaking, or through
the high and fine art of writing," or
in some other way is the thing to de
velop and to cultivate. "To speak
or to write with distinction is an art
that each and every one of you
should seek to acquire." President
Few predicted that students who
neglect the excellent opportunities
which Trinity students have to devel
op themselves in these ways would
hae regret at this point.
The remarks of President Few
were particularly timely and appro
priate. There are three literary or
ganizations in the College, the Col
umbian and Hesperian for men, and
the Athena for the women students.
The Columbian and Hesperian socie
ties hold weekly meetings, and two
meetings a month are held by the
other organizations. Membership in
RALEIGH CHRIS1
these societies is purely voluntary;
but most of the students belong to
one of them. They have splendidly
arranged halls in the East Duke '
Building, modeled after the cham
bers of Congress in the National
Capitol. The societies have records
of creditable achievement and serve
a very valuable purpose in the life
of the College.
AX ACT TO PROHIBIT THE POS
SESSION AXI) DELIVERY OF
IXTOICATIXG LIQUORS.
Whereas exact scientific research
has demonstrated that alcohol is a
narcotic poison, destructive and de
generating to the human organism,
and that its distribution as a bev
erage lays a staggering economic
burden upon the shoulders of
the people, lowers to an appalling
degree the average standard of
character of our citizenship, thereby
undermining the public morals and
the foundation of free institutions,
produces wide-spread crime, pauper
ism, and insanity, inflicts disease and
untimely death upon hundreds of
thousands of citizens and blights
with degeneracy their children un
born, threatening the future integ
rity and the very life of the State:
Therefore,

Carolina do enact:

OCTOBER SOUTH ATLANTIC
QUARTERLY.
The October number of the South
Atlantic Quarterly possesses an ele
ment of timeliness in its two articles
on the topic of war. The leading
article is by Dr. Roland Hugins, of
Cornell University, who writes on the
subject: "The Eugenic Judgment of
War." This article is a very inter
esting discussion of the effect of war
upon the breed of men. Particular
Page Seven
attention is given to the charge of
the advocates of peace that war has
been in the past the greatest cause
of physical and mental deterioration
to the human race. Professor Wil
liam Thomas Laprade, of Trinity
College, contributes an able histori
cal review of the causes that have led
up to tl present European war. His
article deals with both the funda
mental causes and the immediate
causes and the immediate occasion
of the great conflict.
Max J. Herzberg, of Columbia Uni
versity, and the Newark High
School, contributes a well written
study of "Thomas Jefferson as a Man
of Letters." George A. Wood, of the
Graduate College of Princeton Uni
versity, contributes the results of
some of his studies in the history of
Reconstruction in a paper on "The
Black Code of Alabama." The sec
ond installment of Professor W. K.
Boyd's study of the "Finances of the
North Carolina Literary Fund" ap
pears in this number. This article
will be of much intereso those who
are interested in the financial and
educational history of the State. The
history of education in the South is
the subject of a valuable paper by
Dr. Edgar W. Knight, of the Trinity
College School of Education. The
title of hi sarticle is "Some Fallacies
Concerning the History of Public Ed
ucation in the South." Dr. Knight
shows that much more progress has
been made in common school educa
tion in the South before the Civil
War than has been generally recog
nized in writings on the subject. The
last article entitled "Is American Lit
erature Read and Respected in Eu
rope?" is by Mr. II. Houston Peck
ham, of Purdue University. Mr.
Peckham shows that some of the
leading American writers have en
joyed a considerable popularity in
Europe.
