We shall be glad to publish pertinent discussions of college topics. The Tar Heel will welcome news items, and hopes the whole college will aid it along this line. Scarcely two weeks are now left us in which 10 make our final prep arations for the Virginia game and these will be busy weeks for us. The same spirit of work which has characterized the former labors ; of the men will undoubtedly be all the more evident during the short time that remains unto us. Each man fully understands the duty that rests upon him and each is working in such a manner as to show that he appreciates it. We can ask, in deed we can expect no more of these than a continuation of such work. But there is , yet another duty to be performed, not by the members of the team, but by us, the suppor tefs of the . team. The Tar Heel feels that it is unnecessary to make an appeal that this dutv be looked after; it merely mentions it in order that it may be kept before us. We are confident, we sav, that every loyal student will regularly attend the practice games from how on and will in every way possible en courage the men in their work. The season opened with perhaps poorer prospects for a team than we have ever had before, there being only five of last years regular play ers here and two of these incapaci tated by injuries. In the face of such discouragement the men and the coach have worked hard, and the results of the yames already played have been sufficient proof of thh. While, of course, the scores have been nothing like as large as those made in former years against the same institutions, we are entire ly satisfied with these when all things are taken in consideration. The height of the season is now upon us and with it our great game. Of one thing we may be sure, that when the team returns from Norfolk, it will be with he com forting assurance of a duty nobly done' and a knowledge that ev ery inch of ground made by Virgin ia was contested, with the same1 pluck Which has always char-' acterized the playing of Tar Heels. ' Let us give them a "send-off" next week which will show them, much better than words, some idea of our appreciation of what they have accomplished in the past and the confidence we feel that they will acquit themselves like men in the future. j The query for the Georgia-Care Una debate has been submitted and; our prospective debaters have al-i ready begun" work. The interest felt in such intellectual contests is keener than ever before. We now have yearly a debate with Georgia and with Vanderbilt and, at present, there is a proposi tion under consideration in our two literary societies to arrange a series of debates with Johns Hopkins Uni versity. This series, if arranged, will undoubtedly increase the inter est, for in accepting it we enter a new and untried field. The record made by our repre sentatives in the past is something at which we may well point with pride. We have, indeed, a reputa tion to sustain, a reputation of which any college might well boast. That it will be sustained, no one can doubt. Once more the angel of death has visited our University and this time we mourn the death of our Regis trar. While we realize that noth ing that we might say can in the least assuage the sorrow so univer sally felt, we would yet join with the others in paying one last trib ute to him of whom it might well be said, "he was faithful to the end." Mr. White's Lecture. i Mr. Hinton White delivered his lecture, "The Australian Common wealth" in the Chapel last Tues day evening at 7:30, it being the second lecture of theStar Course. Mr. White was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, and is a lec turer of wide experience. His lec ture was illustrated by a number of colored views. Below is given a synopsis of the lecture: , In area Australia is about the size of the United States, excluding Alaska. Its population equals that of New York city. Gold was dis covered in 1851, and the total out put has been 109,000,000 oz. Sheep raising and wool clipping is a very important industry. The aborigi nes of Australia are not civilized. Holy Adelaide, "the city of churches," is the place where the Australian ballot system originat ed. This system was formulated by a man named Dutton in 1851, but not until 1856 was it adopted in Australia. Since that time it has been adopted in various coun tries, and also in the United States. Sidney harbor is one of the most beautiful harbors in the world. The Australians are troubled with the Chinese iabor. The Aus tralian wants and lias an eight hour day, while the Chinamen want to work eighteen hours a dav. , Australia is a fine agricultural Country. Sugar cane is the great agricultural product. The impor tation of cheap beef sugar from Eu rope has injured the home industry. On every hand is evidence of "Yankee" ingenuity. There is a suspension bridge built of steel brought from America. Birds of beautiful plumage are found here. The blackswan and flamingo are numerous. A kind of bear, but one not dangerous to man, the Kangaroo and, other animals are found. Here are found the tall est trees in the world. Australia is aland of contrasts, where the birds are song-less and I the trees shed their bark instead of I their leaves. ". ' j The different colonies in Austra-j lia are now united under one gov- j eminent. Australia has a promis ing future. Education is in the hands of the State. So are the railroads. Education is free and compulsory. There are four uni versities and seven thousand schools. The University of Oxford has the reputation of having been found ed by King Alfred in 872. In his will, George M. Kennedy leaves $75,000 to Syracuse Univer sity. Yale College has conferred the degree of LL.D. on President Roosevelt. The smallest University is in Africa. It has five students and fifteen instructors. SOME RECENT SCORES. Carolina 27; Georgia 0. Carolina 15; Auburn 0. Nashville 39; Sewanee 6.
