Chinese saying, which, believes Pro fessor Philips Russell of the English department at the University of North Carolina, contains a moral that the people of this state and especially of the western section might well need. "North Carolina needs a school of writers to arouse her citizens to things other than the corn and cot ton civilization which apparently has dulled the public sense- of imag ination. When her farmers have two loads of corn or wheat or other crop, they do not sell one and buy a lily, instead they grow another load of corn, which they do not need or can not use." is the sentiment of Pro fessor Russell who observes that in dustrialism has so blinded the peo ple's eyes that they do not see or attempt to preserve the gorgeous beauties of nature in 'which Western North Carolina so abounds. Professor Russell has been connect ed with the English department at the University for the past three years, he having classes in all forms' ( Continued on Back Page) DR.
