PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT
LEAPN FROM EXPERIENCE
Oft January 15, 1018, the Daily
GGrete made it sdebut before th?
people o' Leaksville Township. With
memberships i nthe Associated Press,
the North Carolina Press Association,
and kindred nrgan:zat:ons, it took
its placo amonj; the small-town
dailies of the State. Pessimists look
ed at the first copy ami subscribed
for a month—they though the paper
couldnt run tat long. After five
years, four months, and twenty-s'x
days, the Gaette is still doing busi
ness; pessimists still think the paper
cannot last for another month.—
People who do not profit by exper
ience. I - ‘
On April 1, 1918, the Daily Gaz
ette started its campaign for water,
sewerage, and paved streets, Pessi
mists though it was an April Pool
Joke; they firmly believed Ye Edi
tor was insane. Today, when work
is progressing rapidly on water,
sewerage, and paved streets, pessi
mists still think that Dan River will
not furnish enough water.—People
who do not profit by experience.
Those are just two examples from
the1 numerous instances of local peo
ple who will not profit by experien
ces; and our town contains many
such. Yes, indeed, we have men here
who are as bad as the gentleman
who bought a dozen doughnuts—
and took them beak because they
had holes in them
Still, pessimism isn’t so had if the
bonehead who has a case of it will
keep it to himself. It is one of the
curious traits of the disease, how
ever, that sufferers from if take
great delight in inflicting it uP
unsuspecting, and oftimes defence
less, mortals. In fact, statistics
prove that in families in which the
head of the house is so diseased,
pessimism is taught on even terms
with, and sometimes even outrank
ing the Bible.
No, Mr. Pessimists, the place for
you is in a nice black coffin—or per
haps you don’t believe a coffin would
hold you?
THF. MENACE OF BUREAU
CRATIC DOMINATION OF
EVERYTHING
_ I
soon
most
of a
Under the trend of the times, t
looks as though -we shall soon reach
a point where no educator dare
teach any other doctrine of any
kind than that which comes from
an educational bureau in Washing
ton; whe nno prospective mother
will presume to do .any -thinking or
studying for herself, but must be
told by some maiden lady in charge
of a Washington bureau exactly
u before and after
riild and how she
chrildren. We shall
soon come, under this system, to
live under the most autocratic, far
reaching, domineering system of
Government which the world has ev
er known, unless the business peo
ple break loose from this dominating
power of political and bureaucratic
control and assert the right of every
men or woman to "ome individuality
of family life, as well as in business
life; in the education of children as
well as in knowing when and whe.-e
to build, and in depending upon their
own initiative rather than upon the
say so of some incompetent bu
reaucrat who, seated in a swivel
chair in Washington, thinks he is
lord of the Earth and that all the
world must bow down and worship
him as the Sypkeme Authority in
mbdane affairs.
Indeed under a —“
this system we would
a time with Governmental intern
F with everything, when maiden
having ta tight prospective
<dlf of their duties, and oth
cirais having told $se educa
* * to
to leave unsung; what forma of Di
vine worship to adopt and what to
discard. A state religion, compelling
men and women and children to ac
cept its teachings without question,
and forbidding all other teachings of
Divine worship, would not be more
contrary to t^ genius of the Amer
ican Government than are ome of
the things which are now being
done under the political domination
of the country, (which has been stead
ily increasing for the last ten or fif
teen years. Neither party is free
from taint. Both are full of the spirit
of the bureaucrat. Neither one has
the courage to break loose and set
at naught and defy the advice of
those who would destroy the back
bone and the self-reliance and the
initiative and the independence of
American men and women.
STUDYANCiENT
CHINESE CULTURE
Fogg Museum of Harvard Is
Sending Trio of Scientists on
Exploring Expedition.
Cambridge, Haas,—The Fogg Art
Museum of Harvard la sending three
men to China for exploration and re
search. The force will consist of Lang
don Warner, ’08, who, until recently,
was director of the Pennsylvania mu
senm; H. H. F. Jayne, ’20, assistant
curator of that institution, and Dun
can McDougall, son of Dr. William
HcDougall, professor of psychology at
Harvard.
The work will consist largely of a
preliminary survey In central and
western China and will probably last
not more than eight months in the
field. Hr. Warner, who is tn charge of
the expedition, hopes to make con
siderable progress in determining the
klin sites of the Sung dynasty and to
visit some of the rock grottoes con
taining Buddhist sculptures of the
Fifth and Sixth centuries A. D. A
comprehensive series of rubbings from
inscribed and decorated stone monu
ments and a considerable number of
photographs, which hdve not been
hitherto obtainable, are expected to be
'secured for the Fogg ipttieffm. It Is
hoped also that two or three Important
examples of early architecture still
existing In northern China and Man
churia, which are fast falling to ruin,
will be thoroughly measured and
photographed.
To Collect Photographs.
As funds are not available for the
purchase of original objects of art to
enrich the collections at Harvard, the
first year’s expedition will confine its
work largely to procuring photographs,
rubbings, measurements and other
materials for the study of early and
medieval Chinese Culture. If the re
sults of the preliminary trip warrant
It, excavations will be undertaken next
year, if the consent of the Chinese
government Is obtained.
The importance of such work is ap
parent, the Fogg museum authorities
declare, when It is realised that, al
though Europe and America are fa
miliar with the contents of early
Chinese tombs, for which fnbulous
sums are paid by collectors and mu
seums, no tomb with its contents un
disturbed has been recorded and pho
tographed by a responsible scientist.
The tall pottery camels, pranqlng
horses, Jars and bronzes and jade
found disposed about the bodies of the
dead have been brought overseas by
thousands, but the priceless informa
tion by which they might have been
exactly dated Is not available. It is
argued that to know the arrangement
of these little processions of figures In
the grave, to find what wares are as
sociated with others, to measure these
tombs and to find and copy “in situ”
the tablets burled with the dead would
be worth more than the actual pos
session of all this material.
Study Buddhist Arc
Until the Harvard party reaches
China nothing can be definitely fore
told of the extent ot its travels. Po
litical disturbances may Interfere se
riously with much that should be ac
complished, and the government, at
Peking is able to furnish the Fogg mu
seum with no definite assurance that
ft* representatives will be able to
carry on their proposed investigations.
It is believed to be certain, however,
that enough opportunities will be
found to repay the first year’s work
and to pave the way for a return trip.
The Harvard party will devote its
time entirely to the study of Buddhist
art, and Its labors will not conflict with
those of other expeditions that may be
in the country.
