Dr. Martin Says This Is Ou:* Gr.at est Curse. J Davidson Colleger Sept. 13.— UP) — I “There is a great deal of ignorance J in the world, but I'rather think tiiat our greater curse is shallow, sporadic, untrained thinking.” declared Dr. W. ■ .7. Martin, president of Davidson Col lege. in his opening speech to the stu dent body here this morning. I President Alarnn asfted the ques tion : “What is the chief purpose of; a college education?” and answered ' it: "the main purpose is to train you j I to think.” j i FI is address was a p’ea for deep reasoning and the elimination of the superficial. « ' “If the objective of the institution is not intellectual it is miscalled a college and had better be known by another name. There are other func tions, but this is the central and mo tivating one.” he 'declared. I President Martin's address took to account both the individual student | 1 and the educational system. He I stressed the importance of reflective ! 1 reasoning as requisite to knowledge, and the apparent trend of the educa tional system in high schools and col leges from what he termed “Educa tional Lock-step”, which he explained, means the grouping of students of the , most varied abilities in a class and re quiring all to keep the same pace. This system, he declared, vis ruin ous to the alert, well endowed young student through teaching him slovenly habits of work and thought, and equal- i ly unfair to the slow worker in de- • manding more of hi mthan God bad I given him ability to do.” The special harmfuluess of this, ’ Dr. Martin emphasized, comes when t t’ae student reaches the upper years j of a college course, when the system . of “spoon-feeding” dictates that “les * sons” be given, whereas the real need is a “subject” aud not disjointed seg ments. The “subject method, the speaker said, "demands a much more intimate and personal relation between teacher and student than is attained or is 1 possible under our system of formal classes and class assignments. It is I recognized that it is a more expensive ; educational process but it is proven, I I believe, that it turns out more and better thinkers and is worth far more than -U eofc.is.” - - -.1 ' ’ Speaking of t’lie prevalent lack oil deep reasoning, President Martin said : j i “In some measure, all humans are j thinking creathres. Our mental pow- j ! ers and processes are distinctive, but J not all humans think clearly, connect- J edly, nor are they capable of sus- j tained thinking. Their thinking is j shallow, superficial, incoherent, short j livAed. In a loose sense or way we ( all think or reason, but the hardest, ! I the most paniful thing most people ! can undertake is sustained thought or reasoning. | “Reasoning is the highest mental process and until you have trained : yourself to sustained effort in this process you have not become edu- 1 cated from the intellectual standpoint. \ The attainment of proficiency in this i is somewhat like learning to plow, j Some one may lecture to you. in learned terms about the methods an<j j reasons for plowing, but you will nev- j ! er learn to plow unless you plow. . . | just so in learning to reason —it is j well to be told about the process, to be advised and directed, to learn and j leven memorize certain facts and laws, f but to become thinkers you have got to think and to become reasouers you must practice reasoning.” ! President Martin counselled the stu dents to practice reasoning by con centrating their minds upon one sub ject for an hour at a time in a setting free from interruption and annoyance, and to refrain frytti too much light in tellectual diet outside of what is nec j essary for diversion and variety, j “You cannot make a gootl pudding ! by using a larger measure of season-1 ing than you do of fruit and flour, j j Do not clog you mind with trash,” he stated. SENATOR SIMMONS NOT READY TO RETIRE YET Senior North Carolina Senator is Good For Another Term or Two, It is Said. New Bern, Sept. 11. —Senator I . AI. Simmons does not now intend to retire at the expiration of his pres ent fifth term in the senate of the United States, according to authori tative information learned here fol lowing the recent endeavor of vari ous state newspaper correspondents to select hi«s possible succesor. The senator is 72 years young and is in better health and strength than he has been for some time. 11l effects from % past illnesses and last summer’s minor operation are not now apparent in Jfis appearance. His weight and color are better than they have beeii in months. Friends of the local man say that he seems fit for another term or two in the senate, after he has com pleted 30 years service in 1931. At present he is the ranking Democrat in the body and his prominence and knowledge of public affairs make it advantageous for him to remain there as long as possible, they say. Otherwise, in their opinion, the state would suffer at the hands of a new and experienced man. Senator Francis E. Warren, Republican, of Wyoming, ranking senator, is now 82 years of age. Among the Egyptians Saturday is considered the most unlucky daj of ' the week.

All of the present office holders l seeking another term of office were) ’accepted by the convention delegates.) j the vote, in each contest being over- ! ; whe’ming. in favor of the incumbent, i Every precinct in the county ex- ! cept one was represented, the miss ing delegation being the one D-om No. 7 township. When the conven tion oponed Box 2. Town.-hip 2 and Wait! o were not represented but later delegates from these precincts ulowered the roll call and were seat ed. There was one rather unusual in cident in the convention. When the ! chairman called for candidates for | the nomination of sheriff the name iof It. y. Caldwell. Jr., was the only one presented, although W. H. Fow ler had received a smalt number of votes for in the primary. However, his name was never placed in nomi nation and therefore he was not vot ed on as a candidate. The ticket chosen by the conven tion follows: For House of Representatives— Sam Black. For Sheriff —It. A T . Caldwell, Jr. For Clerk of Court —J. B. Mc- Allister. For Register of Deeds—L. V. E’- liott. __ For Treasurer —Miss Margie Mc | Eaehern. For Coroner —Dr. Joe A.

Smith, No. 13 township; Charles Gjraeber, Ns>. -4 township; W. Foil,"No. 8 towh | ship; and J. M- Hartsell, No. 10 I township. The only new faces ou the ticket are on the board of county commis sioners four of the five candidates for places on the board being new men. Nine men were p’aced in nomina tion for places on the board but only ballot was needed to nominate. In addition to those nominated, those I placed in nomination were R. O. j Caldwell. -T. H. Barrier, William i Harry and John C. Shinn. ! Only three times was it necessary ! to cali the roll call to decide the win- I ne... One the roll call was made for 1 the commissioners, once for clerk of ! court and once for cotton weigher. Mr. McAllister won 127.01 to 30.- ■OO for M. L. Widenhouse, his only • opponent in the race for clerk of 'court, and Air. Boger won 143.43 to 33.57 in the contest with H. W- Johnston for cotton weigher. When the name of Mr. Fowler was not presented to the convention Sheriff Caldwell was nominated by acclamation after his name had been p’ace before* the convention by L. T. The speaker described the officer as “efficient and courteous” and expressed the opinion that there is no better sheriff ir. the 'State. The nomination of Mr. McAllister was made unanimous by motion I made by Mr. Widenhouse. L. T. ! Hartsell Jr., presented the name of., L. V. Elliott to the convention, say ing he “possibly is the most efficient register of deeds in the State.” Aliss McEachern’s name was presented by Afiss Rosa Aland and the unanimous vote of the convention for her was cast by Mrs. Richmond Reed. After Dr. Hartsell had oecn unanimously nominated his father, J. L. Hartsell, cast the unanimous vote of the convention for him. . Walter L. Furr had 110 opposition and Air. Isenhour was nominated by acclamation a'so as candidate for chairman of the commissioners. At their convention two *weeks ago Cabarrus Repub' icans nominated their committee chairman as candi date for the chairmanship of the board, and as the Democrats have done the same thing this contest will be a personal campaign between the two chairman ns well as a party fight. Chairman Isenhour asked M. B. Sherrin to preside and R. L. Hart sell and W. AI. Sherrill were named as secretaries. This temporary or ganization was made permanent. Chairman Sherrin made no lengthy address, declaring it was not necessary to have a keynoter for Cabarrus Democrats who are willing to stand on their record during the past four years. “When the Republicans held their convention recently. he said, an inported keynoter spotce.

Tribune Bureau Sir Water Hotel Raleigh, Sept. 13. —Declaring that be does not desire to withdraw the protest filed with the State Supreme Court to prevent the granting of an 1 application by O. P. Barringer, of Salisbury, recently elected head of the j State Federation of Laboy, for a li- I eense to practice law, O. K. Ever i hardt today filed a reply to Barringer’s j answer in which he further charges j that Barringer lias tried to “beg, per j suade’ and even coerce this affiant” ! to make an affidavit to the effect that (the charges made against him (Bar | ringer) were untrue and that on the j night of September 7, 1926, Barringer | “tried to bully and coerce this affiant ; into signing an affidavit to the effect i that the charges made were untrue.” j Everhardt further declares that all of 1 the charges made in the original com- I plaint filed with the Supreme Court j are “true and correct in every re ! spect and that he was deceived, mis- I led and defrauded and parted with his i money because of the representations I made by C. P. Barringer. 1 It will be remembered that while j Barringer successfully passed the I State bar examination on August 23, he was denied a license by the Su- I preme Court because of the protest I filed by Everhardt, who objected to ; the licenseing of Barringer on the > |rounds that he was not of good ehar ! after in that Barringer had failed to pay a note of SSOO. Everhardt now admits that the SSOO note has been ; paid in full since he filed the protest j with the Supreme Court, j In closing his reply to Barringer's j i answer, Everhardt say*: “This affiant here and now swears and affirms that ■ every statement heretofore made by i him is true and correct and that he has full knowledge of the contents of this affidavit and the affidavits hereto fore filed. That this protest is not made on account of any malice on the part of t'ae affiant, but because ,! tris affiant believes that it is his duty as a citizen to help, if he can, to pro tect society from having this man C. I*. Barringer licensed as an attorney i i at law.” Everhardt admits Barringer bor -1 rowed SSOO from him, and that Bar ringer did not tell him that his prop ■ erty was otherwise encumbered. Ev -5 erhardt denies that ’ne ever had any understanding with Barringer con ? cerning the foreclosure of the note and mortgage held by Everhardt and that only as the result of repeated at tempts by his attorney to collect something on the note were two payj ' ments. one of SSO and another of $25 made by Barringer. The allegation ’ - made by Barringer in phragraphs three j and four of "his answer are expressly denied by Everhardt. It is further contended by Ever . hardt that the original complaint was ' filed with his full knowledge and con , sent, and was not filed by his attor ney, as Barringer alleges, without Ev erhardt’s knowledge. It. is further alleged by Everhardt that some days I after the complaint had been filed, Barringer came to him and begged f ’aim to allow him “another ehance” , and to withdraw the protest. He adds E that he was so impressed with Bar ringer’s apparent sincerity that he 1 took steps to see if the complaint 1 could be withdrawn, and that Bar ringer thereupon made payment of J. B.

Tribune Bureau ' Sir Walter Hotel i Raleigh. Sept. 13.—The North Car ; olina exhibit at the Sesqui-Centeunial at Philadelphia is getting to be more i of a North Carolina information bu reau than an exhibit, according to i those w’jo have just returned from t presiding over the space alotted this j state at the Sesqui. For people not 1 only pause to look, but to ask ques j tions as well, and it keeps the two people in charge of the exhibit busy from morning until night answering questions about, the Tar Heel state, according to Dr. F. M. Register, of the State board of health, who has just returned from , the exposition, w'aCre he # was in charge of the North Carolina exhibit. Within the space occupied by the booth, which is situated between two of the main aisles and can be ap proached from three sides, is furni ture — deks, chairs, rugs, etc. —all of which were made in North Carolina. There are charts and pictures snowing the work done by the various depart ments of the state and other exhibits of the state’s industries. But the principal function which those con nected with the booth are called on to perform is to supply information of all sorts about North Carolina to t'ae hundreds of interested persons who daily"" stop and ask questions. These cover every sort of activity from agriculture to industry, and an swers to most of them are to be found in the descriptive literature which is handed out from the booth. However, so unexpectedly great has been this demand for information that additional charts and banners are be ing prepared, so that many may get the information merely by glaeing at t’iie booth. At present $ large banner that will extend for thirty feet across the arch way over the booth is being prepared that will contain the following in formation, emblazoned in big letters that can be easily read from afar: “North Carolina has the lowest death rate of any state on the At lantic Seaboard.” “North Carolina has spent SI2S, (XV 000 for good roads since 1921.” “Nort’n Carolina is spending.. $12,- 000,000 annually for modern school buildings.” “North Carolina, the land of agri cultural opportunity.” “North Carolina, total yearly in come from manufactured products, $951,911,000.” The only other North Carolina ex hibit, aside from a tobacco exhibit, is that of the North State Pottery Company of Sanford, where pottery is made by hand just as it is made by the potters of Sanford. This is fae only hand-made pottery exhibit at the entire exposition, and has been attracting a vast amount of atten tion. One day recently the potters at the exhibit were making arm-ring jugs, that is jugs with ring handles, large enough to fit over the arm, such as are used extensively in the moun tains. Many questions were asked about them, and the man in charge of the exhibit tola the people that the moonshiners in the mountains used these jugs to carry their moonshine in, as there was less likelihood of drop ping the jugs. One of the Philadel phia papers printed the story, and next day the demand for the jugs was so great that faey were all sold out. North Carolina is at the Sesqui ’ith bells on, and people are learning more than ever about the wonders of the Old North State. One Divorce For Every Five Mar riages in California. Washington, D. C., Sept. 13. —C4 1 ) —California, country of the silver sheet’s shieks and shebas, granted one divorce for every five marriage li censes last year, according to prelim inary figures compiled by the U. S. De partment of Commerce, which have just been made public. The figures also reveal that both marriages and divorces decreased from the total in 1924, and that di vorces led in the decrease. During 1925, according to the table which is subject to correction before official publication, there were 55.080 marriages informed in the states as compared with 55.(577 in 1924. rep resenting a decrease of 597, or 1.1 per cent. During 1925 divorces numbered 10.G23, according to the same tables, and the year before to 11,258. This accounts for a decrease of 635, or 5.6 per cent. The estimated population of Cali fornia on July 1, 1925, was 4.179,708 and on July 1, 1924. was 4,048.503. On the basis of these figures, the number of marriages ner 1.000 popu lation was 13.2 in 1925 and 13.8 in 1924. and the number of divorces per 1,000 population was 2.54 in 1924 as against 2.78 in 1924.
