IDEALISM : THE NEED
. OF THE HOUR ,
it t* IfUkiiJot Aiidisas and eonfa
aion the supreme need Is light. The
light of great ideals has been the
Baring force thra 'all the centuries
Richer ia ritalilf than any race.
during than monuments of stone.
Ideals are practical. Like the ben
and the air, they are
in time* of storm and difficulty. I
Some nineteen hundred year* ago]
Jesus Christ gave to
greatest body of
has known. With none of
ftap *
grades, or degrees; In an
ed with Ignorance, snperstitio
tality, and
force of tiring i
started a new epoch;
significant that the c
from hia birth, so powerful that it
has changed the whole course of hu
man erents, so ^taiflctil that nn
told millions of men hare been lifted
higher in the scale of life.
Is It not plain ttet what the world
needs just now Is n new derotion to
great ideals? In statecraft, in busi
ness, In industry, in law, in the
church. In science, or In teaching
can anything be more Intensely fruit- <
ful and practical than a renewed ]
faith in the higher and finer things?
Hour after Hour, day after day, we
are all facing situations where there '
is choice between the higher and the ,
lower. It takes but a little
monsense and a will to
higher path ? to change the whole
course of a life, a school, a nation,
or an age. A little more faith, a'
little more idealism and the confn- '
nlon of today may gire way to the'
fairest dawn the word has seen.
Teachers inspired by the tiring el
ample of The Great Teacher are pre
pared to work and sacrifice as nerer
before. Thousands of them In
America where banks are bursting
with gold hare taught for many,
many months without nV ? proring
in the hour of need the sustaining
power of a great derotion. As we
celebrate this Christmas, let us ded
icate ourselves anew to those lofty
ideals that are the fruit of untold
centuries of aspiration and hope, of
sacrifice and struggle, of heroism ,
and courage. In the faith that
teaching is the surest way, let us
highly resolve ? as we celebrate this
birthday of The Great Teacher ? to
teach better than we have ever taught
before, to teach as tho the whole
structure of civilization rested npon
our teaching. That is the supreme
need of this hour.

WE ARB A
MUSICAL NATION
It used to be said that America waa '
pot a. musical nation. Nobody can '
say that new. Eteea is these hard
times people are spending money tor |
musical entertainment, and buying!
musical instruments almost as freely !
as ever. We are no ledger satisfied
with pooi1 music. Piwt the phono
graph records, tfcot the radio, and
latest, the excellent iau?lc which ac
companies the Jtall9ng pictures, have
certainly all served to elevate the
popular musical taste.
Not everybody Bae the musical ear
or the natural skill to produce music
either vocally or lnstruta en tally, but
everybody can' command good music
by merely turning on the radio pr
starting up the phonograph, or the
player piano. But this music has to
be produced. In the first place, by
people of real musical talent We
were interested to read about the
young New Jersey stenographer, Saida
Knox, who has jnst won a $5,000' cash
prite for her singing over the radio.
We were also interested to read that
the most popular musical Instrument
tJday is the concertina, and that some
of them sell for as high as $600 each.
We heard not long ago about a young
man who earned a quarter of a mil
lion dollars before he was twenty-live
composing popular music. And w?
have heard Rudy Vallee crooning over
the radio.
It seems to us that it to a great 4eaJ
more important to develop our
maslcal talent and bring go&f-m'ua'U
and an appreciation of It to everybodj
stagers lor grand opera in the ? bit
cities. And w e noticed the other da;
tba| torn* of the wealthy people wh<
. (hare km supporting tlx opirt *av<
) sot tired of putting up mopey foi

' "The jw'is dylnrf? let It die." W?
' echo Tennyson's words. 8 o tar aa
re are concerned, anybody can have
? 1931 that wants It We are all through
I with it, jy^we are thankful for that.
. It havteen a tough year, but, after
all, we stil^jiarvlve. It may Or may
' not have been the worst year, from
' the ecoaonlc point of view, In Ameri
can history. Some say that It was,
[ and some thlak that we have ' had
worse. If there were any worse years
we don't remember them.
The important thing now la to look
(bead and see whether 1932 la going
to be any better and, particularly,
what we can do ourselves to make it
better. For one thing, we think thai
most people have dropped the idea
that there Is some easy way to get
money without working for h. That
is all to the good. The early Ameri
can settlers hid the' right idea. One
of the first rules laid down for the
Pilgrims of Plymouth was "ttay that
w 111 not work shall not eat" That ad
monition, Indeed, goes bacV farther
than that. 'Tou can find it in the
first chapter of the Book of Genesis.
It seems to ns that we have pretty
well got over the fooMsJi notion that
we, as a people, bid disco vered a way
to beat that game.
There is no doobt that ISM will
still be a temgh year compared with'
the year H27. 'Everything Isn't go

Tokio, Dae. IS. ? A renewed and
more extensive drive to exterminate
Chinese bandits In Manchuria was
announced by the Japanese war of
fice today on the grounds of Increas
ing peril to the .South .Manchuria
railway.
This move was made on the
strength of a Rengo news agency dis
patch from Tientsin saying the situa

come so grave that Jananeae resi
dents in Shanhaikwan had decided
to evacuate the city and gqrt*QMna

Increasing his forces at varlp? points
in the Chinehow area to approximate

that he would withdraw his .knny
within the great wall in vtty of the
new campaign.
As for Japan Itself, a sweeping
shakeup among prefectnral govern
ors and high officials of th?- home
ministry was taking place. as a part
of the Selyukai party's coiMMUUoB
of its position preparatory to facing
minority difficulties in the approach
ing diet session.
Wholesale changes in officials, both
governmental and prefectural were
being effected as rapidly as possible
so as to strengthen Premier Inqkal's
political machine. All eoBofal offi
cials and the governor generals of
Korea, Formosa, and the Kwantung
leased territory will be replaced by
Seiyukal adherants.
The selection of Prince Kanln,

that the large corporations are rap

1. A second tendency that he con
demned strongly is the tendency to
ward centralisation In government
.'roci th* highest ? to the smallest gov
ernmental unit. He pointed out the
evil of government through high sal

Indirectly for oft^y Prealdent.

kr. Fountain decrietf this -tendency
in the State of North Carolina. He
expressed his unqualiflpd opposition
?n the "Short Ballot", particularly
the recommendations of the " Brook -

that under this scheme the people ot
the state would be allowed to elect
cnty one state officer, the Governor,
the other state officers would be ap
pointed by the governor. He further
tailed attention to another feature of
this recomjnendatkm ; the abolltipn ot

: To a Bdovl Teacher ^
I wish the member* of our class
Could make it very clear
Just what you've meant to each o{. us
Throughout the passing year.
Not only for the lesaons taught
And sympathy you're shown
But for an understanding heart
That seems to read our own.
In you we feel we hare a friend,
(No matter what our plight) ?
That knows Just what to do and
We hope all through the coming ,
years,
The good that now you do.
With erery changing tide of 11
when,
And always do it right.
Will eddy back to you.

Do you remember "The Birth of a
Nation," "Intolerance," and "The FO*r
Horsemen of the Apocalyp**," and
"Scaramouche," and "Tol'able David,"
rid "Stella Dallas"?
These half doien pictures were fa
vorites In the silent days; would have
rated four star* If we had been hand
ing stars out at the time. Of the six,
only "Tol'able David" has taken talkie
shape. Its sound version wasn't aa
good as the silent Barthelmess pic
ture. But you liked Richard Crom
well three-star*' worth In the talkie.
Didn't yon? ?
If the other live movies mentioned
above haven't yet reached the audible
cinema, they have contributed to it,
unyway. When you! see "Over The
Hill" (once a silent hit Itself) at the
I uuliburg Theatre, Monday and Tues
day, December 28th-29th, you'll be
watching the combined efforts of folks
who contributed to U14 six super
special hfefeur maker* to which we've
called your attention.
Kae Harsh Buck
Mae Marsh, playing the role of Ma
In the new talkie, was one of the most
important players in "The Birth of a
Nation" and "Intolerance." She was,
in addition, a star in her own right
for many years, with a long 'list of
successes to her credit. Bhe left the
sereen at the height of her career to
marry and' become a mother. And
now she is back, for good. Since
"Over The Hill" she has been as
signed to roles in "Devil's Lottery"
?nd "Governor's Lady."
Henry King, the director,' add* "Ot
tr The Hill" to a list that Includes
. Tol'able David," "The White Slater, "
"Stella Dallas" and other box-offioe

John Seitx was cameraman for alt
of Rex Ingram's best productions In
cluding "The Four Horeemen," "Scar

Robert Haas, art director, worked
with Henry King on all hts produc
tions, even going to Italy Her the
filming of "The White Sister," with
Lillian Gtsta, and "Romola," with
Dorothy of the Glsh sisters. Also,
Haas added decorative value to "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," "Sentimental
Tommy" and Peter Ibbetson," all si
lent versions.
James Klrkwood, who plays the role
cf Pa In "Over The JU11," was one
?f Mary Pickford's first director*.
Besides directing, he has played
leads and character roles for years.
James Dunn and Sally Ellera are
the newcomers. They and the sound
men were hot associated with pic
tures 'way back then. However,
ttey're noted for "Bad Girl," a this
