C, .WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER.23, 1914. per SELECTED FOR STATEWIDE DEBATE By All North Carolina Sec ondary and High Schools Resolved, That United States Should Adopt Policy of . Subsidizing Merchant Marine Engaged In Foreigm Trade. (Special Star Correspondence.) . Chapel Hill, N. C, Sept. 22. The State Wide High School Debating Union will debate the query. "Resolved, That the United States should adopt th policy of subsidizing its merchant marine en gaged in the foreign trade." This question was selected because of its prominence in the minds of the Am erican people today and because there is such a' large amount of material in the Library to aid the young deba tors. Last year the state-wide contest was " participated in by 150 schools and 600 student-debators. It is expected that the enrollment of schools will be larger this year than either of the two pre vious years of the union's existence. The final contest at Chapel Hill last spring was one of the most spectacular features of the year's work. There were close to a. thousand visitors on the Hill at the time. Every secondary , and high school in the State is eligible to become a mem ber of the union and participate in the debate. The method of procedure will be the same as that for the past two years. Every school that enrolls will be grouped with two other for a trian gular debate, each school putting out two teams, one on the affirmative and ne on the negative. Every school which wins both sides of its triangular debates will send both teams to Chapel Hill to contest for the state champion ship and the Aycock Memorial Cup. The preliminary debates wil be held the lattet part of. March and the final contest at Chapel Hill early in April. Pleasant Garden won the final tw6 years ago, and Winston-Salem last year. On, the ldsing team on the final was a girl. E. R. Rankin, of Gastonia. secretary of the union has charge of all the active work of organization. Besides being editor of the well edited and popular Alumni Review he is secretary of the alumni. The Dialectic and Philanthropic, (or, a sthey are better known, the Di and Phi.)- Literary societies, .which have general charge of the High , School Debating Union, had their fall initia tions Saturday night. The two togeth er took -in a total of about 140 men. These two societies are the oldest col lege literarysocieties in America, both being founded in 1796. Prof. O. P. Rhyne, of the German department, returned last Saturday from Germany,, where he was caught in the - whirlpool' of war. He returned 'from tlie Netherlands to New York by steerage. He reports a terrible trip. Mr. Tom Linn, of Salyisbury, a promin ent member of the student body, is also reported as having returned from Euraope to' New York the past week. .. PRfiSIDENT FEW DELIVERS 'S pDPEA-ING ADDRESS AT TRINITY; Annual Event In Life of College and City of Durham. OFFICIALS. NOT DISTURBED - ifSpecial Star Correspondence.) Durham, N. C, Sept. 21. Dr. W. P. Fe-s opening address to the students of Trinity College was delivered Sun dayfevening in Craven Memorial Hall. Thelarge college auditorium was filled almost to overcrowding. The attend i ance of the students, patrons and friends of the Institution exceeded all past records. All . the city churches were called in in order that the entire college community and city people might be present at the opening exer- A brief but splendid musical pro gramme was provided for the evening, and many of . the best musicians in the city took part in this part of the pro gramme. .The address, was, of course, an ad dress to Trinity men at the opening of a new collegiate year. Dr. Few stated that in order for any college to be of real lasting worth that it ' must de? "ith conceptions of educa tion that have eternal values. Much is now being said about colleges and their values and the American college needs to be carefully considered. One classification of all colleges may be staged briefly ' as being (1) what they know; (2) what they do; (3) what they are. That all colleges, he said, are alike in providing instructions to youth for public service : and individual ser vice, but do they all- first train schol- - ars to make men, or is their first edu cational aim purely utilitarian and in tellectual? There are-numerous col leges (1) by Individuals; (2) taxation; (3) church, all of whioh aspire to in tellectualism and the training of youth into the duties and services of citizen ship, but unless an institution give light it is not what It ought to be, and it may be incompetent, inadequate and even injurious. Many institutions : which seek ,to train for Immediate .practical service enjoy great popular ity and are doubtless of intrinsic good, but yet they are not to be considered as of first Importance. Physical well being is a good thing, and a very de sirable thing, but there is a great dan ger in America today towards material ism, and a purely utilitarian concep tion of life. What we need in all tljis ; is rto find out and choose the things really worth seeking for and possess ing. We need skill and power, but, above all, life. The German Empire is a good example of this kind of edu cation, and who does not shudder as he thinks of the present plight of that people? But of most importance of all col leges Is the college of the church, the child of religion, organically and fun damentally devoted to the kingdom of God and good upon which Individual as well as, national independence stands. Any type of college, as a man, is to be Judged by what he sets first as his ideals and endeavors. Welfare of human kind seeks the great truth ; which' makes us free in our Ideals, and powers, and life, and makes a man not only fitted to, think, and work, but to be at home anywhere, on-any planet; by securing and rectifying for it a son tor human character. We need ' men who can be trusted, and who have inward mothers who guide them In the truth. We are confronted with this defect in America today. There lyno way" to avoid it, but we. must all re'cog , f nize it, for it is indeed simply a ' na tional peril. It is the only experiment in history of its kind.for never before has the morals of youth been neglect- ;ed. to pA. rrma.t an extent. .- , ' Over Statement of State Board of Charities That Convict Law la , Violated In . Lenoir. (Special Star Correspondence.) Kins ton, N. C, Sept. 22. Lenoir county officials do not confess to be ing much disturbed over a recent let ter from the State Board of ' Chari ties, stating that they are violating the law by not allowing prisoners five days off of each month for good behavior in accordance with a 1915 law. - The of ficials, it is believed, are willing to comply with the law without hesita tion, but are perplexed to find - what constitutes good behavior in the Lenoir county camp, where there are now around 70 blacks, mostly of a class of vagrants who have troubled the local authorities by congregating in the negro section of Kinston and are re peatedly recommitted because of their incorrigibleness. The law of might enforces good con duct in such a camp, it is said, and few of the cvonvicts have- shown the disposition to behave well of their own accord. The hebavior of , 10 men who a year ago mutinied, assaulted their guards and escaped is only what would happen every day if sufficient precau tions were not taken, officiajls say.
