RELIEF WORK IS
CONSOLIDATED
The relief work being done in
North Carolina in behalf of the suf
fering children in Europe by several j
differen torganizations has been con
solidated into one organization
known as the North Carolina division
of the European Relief Counpil.
T7" The organizations" entering into
this newly formed European Relief
Council, with their various chairmen,
are as follows:
American Relief Administration
Henry A. Page, Aberdeen.
Friends Service Committee Rich
ard Hobbs, Guilford College, Greens
boro. Jewish Joint Distribution Commit
tee J. Sternberger and Lionel Weil,
Goldsboro.
Knights of Columbus M. J.
O'Neill, Charlotte.
Red Cross Judge J. C. Pritchard,
Asheville, and D. T. Edwards, Kin
ston. Y. M. C. A. Morgan B. Speir,
Charlotte.
Henry A. Page, who has been con
ducting the campaign of the Ameri
can Relief Administration, is chair
man of this new European Relief
.Council. The executive committee is
composed of the chairmen of the or
ganizations which have consolidated.
Headquarters have been opened iri
Aberdeen. Thad S. Page of Aber
deen has been selected as executive
secretary.
The European Relief Council was
formed because of the desire on the
part of the various organizations
conducting campaigns in North Caro
lina for European relief to secure
the fullest possible cooperation
among themselves to secure efficiency
and economy in administration, to
prevent duplication of effort and to
strengthen their appeal to the pub
lic. It was determined to cooperate
with the national organization in
making the "national collection" a
success by conducting throughout
the state of North Carolina a "state
collection." Sunday, December 19,
was selected as the day to begin this
."state collection" and it is to con
tinue through the holidays.

European Relief Council in having a
collection taken at every gathering
held in North Carolina for the bene
fit of the destitute children of Europe.
The European Relief Council here
and now calls upon every minister in
North Carolina to bring to the atten
tion of his congregation, on Sunday,
December 19, the desperate need of
these millions of suffering children
in Europe and take a collection for
their benefit. It is desired that on j
that day in religious meetngs of
every kind, church, Sunday school,
societies and associations, a collec
tion be taken for these children. All
church organizations are requested
to continue these collections through
December 30 at all meetings. Church
officials, both men and women, are
urged during this time to solicit con
tributions. The assistance of some social or
civic organization in each community
is desired Mn procuring speakers to
present the need of these children
to audiences at theaters and moving
picture shows and in designating
committees to take a collection at
every performance. You are urged

average undergraduate. It does not
rank up with such groups as the de
baters or the Y. M. C. A. leaders or
with the hlnorary scholarship socie
ties, but Is higher than the general
average ot all undergraduate work.
Put In exact figures the record of
the varsity athletes was Just under
SO per cent and the average of the
whole group of men In the college
was a little lower, about 78 per cent.
Indications are that the athletic scho
lastic requirement which prevents
students from taking part in any
Intercollegiate contest unless they
keep up with their work helped raise
the record.
The 41 women In the university
last year ranked much higher than
the athletes and are much higher
than the average run of men stu
dents. Their grades average about
8C per cent, which Is pretty good
proof of the earnestness with which
they drive Into their work. Of all
groups In the university. Tan Kappa
Alpha, a debating -fraternity com
posed of Intercollegiate debaters and
winners of oratorical contests, made
the highest record, with the mem
bers of Sigma Upsllon. a literary
group second, and Phi Beta Kappa,
the national scholarship fraternity.
third.
One distinct feature of Dr. Wil
son's report Is the continued rise of
Interest In French and Spanish.
which seem to be displacing Latin
and Qreek more and more every year
More students are. registered In the
romance languages. French and
Spanish, than In any other depart
ment' In the university, a total of
50, higher even than the English
department with CI 4. Twenty-three
students -axe'. taXlng Greek and . 17
are studying Latin as against 277 In
Latin in 19 11. The winter and
spring quarters will probably show a
slight Increase In students taking
Latin, but even so It seems certain
that each year Is seeing a steady
falling off in students of the ancient
languages and an Increase In modern
languages.
Increases In nearly all the profes
sional schools are noted In the regis
trar's report. Medicine with 71 stu
dents, pharmacy with 45, and the
graduate school with 58. show larger
registration than at any time In the
past five years, and law with 139 is
higher than any year except last
year. There are 10 S seniors In col-
i.
ley declares that the "output or
manufacture of Intoxicating liquor la
North Carolina Is now as great as at
any time In the history of the state;
that one-fifth of the Illicit spirits de
stroyed In all of the 48 states was
manufactured In the one slate of
North Carolina; that dating the past
year more than half of the fourteen
thousand distilleries were captured
and destroyed In this state and the
states of South Carolina and Geor
gia; that he expects Illicit distilling
to continue In the state of North Car
olina to flourish; that anybody who
has the price can get moonshine liq
uor and monkey rum in Raleigh, and
he believes the same thing Is true of
very many other towns of the slate.
That the prohibition laws, state and
national, are now doing but one
thing, namely, affecting the price and
quality of the liquor made. And yet
not one government agent baa been
charged with not doing bis duty, the
only criticism having been made by
some courts that they are "too teal
obi" In enforcing the Law.
Now. isn't that a pretty kettle of
flsh, and the most odorous of spoilt
flsh. for the state of North Carolina,
one of the very first and most mili
tant of all the states In the flgbt for
both state and national prohibition,
to be putting on exhibition at this
stag of the game?
If Collector Dalley's announcement
Is believed (and It should be. be
cause it Is based on facts and oScIa!
figures) the question naturally arises
Will North Carolina arise and be the
first state to attempt to repeal a bad
law, evap If It has become a part ot
the constitution? The biggest thing
the North Carolina prohibition law
did
of the open saloon, where the boys
mostly learned to drink liquor. In
the daya of the saloon the youths
were tempted. Now the boy who gets
mean stuff, often of the poison va
riety, he does It out of pure mean
ness and the element of temptation
does not enter Into the transaction.
The result Is that the better class of!
young men soon become disgusted. If I
they survive the experiment, while
the other sort are either killed or
have their health ruined for life. It
doe sseem that another way of deal
ing with bad liquor makers and boot
leggers must be adopted.
