DR. SATO CLOSES
LECTURE SERIES
Monday Speaks on Enonom
ics. Subject Wednes
day is Religion
SERIES HAS BEEN VERY INSTRUCTIVE
Japan is Essentially Agricultural.
Cultivation Very Intense. Bice Chief
Product. Japan has Originated No
Religion. In Desperate Need of a
Strong God.
Dr. Sato's fourth lecture was
delivered in Chapel Monday night
to another large and appreciative
audience. He gave a comprehen
sive; view of the Agricultural
credit and Rural Sociology of
Japan in her "various stages of
civili.aliou. Starting his lecture
by saying' that Japan had been
essentially agricultural since pre.
historic times, he went over the
course of her development
through the several periods of
ideas. At the time of the Res
toration in 1868 the actual tillers
of the land became" the real own
ers of the farms. Man power is
for the most part used in the cul
tivation of rice and other pro
ducts of the soil. In late times,
Japan has struck the modern
"" problem of keeping the young
people on the farms because the
youngeJ folks are attracted by
the city and the good wages of
the factories. About two-thirds
of Japan's population is rural.
Investigations of modern ideas in
I a n k i u g, a gr i c 1 1 1 1 u re a ml many
..; other. industries led to the estab
lishment : of agricultural and
industrial banks. These .-banks,
with large capital, have been of
untold benefit to the farmes and
manufacturers, of 'which banks
the farmers are the chief eco
nomic supporters. Farming, as
sociations are found to be great
economic advantages. Postal
Savings banks are in good condi
tion. The Imperial Rescript of
1908 is considered a moral code
in the business world as well as
in urban and rural districts.
Japan's rural sociology is based
on Mr. Ninominya's system' of
Rural Renovation. Such an in
fluence this man has had on
Japan's progress, that he is look
ed upon by many as divine, and
is called "the economic physician
of rural domains". Rural Behe
olence Associations were formed
hy this great rural philosopher.
Frugality and simplicity are
being required of citizens. Japan
has realized that to get along
the best way possible she must
have her citizens educated. At a
result there is today only a 2 per
ent illeratc population. Dr.
Sato concluded by saying that in
Japan "the signs of the time are
decidedly in favor of an enlight
ened rural reconstruction in
which agricultural credit and
rural sociology must go hand in
hand in the march of the twen
tieth century civilization.''
After the lecture Dr. Heckel
man showed lantern slides of
interesting personages and scenes
in Japan which he explained.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES
Coach Trenchard Wants You
To Read This.
While the two football rules
committees, sitting in joint ses
sion at New York last Friday and
Saturday, made twelve changes
in the rules, none of these will
work a distinct change in the
game. Indeed, the most effective
work of the committees will be
found in the propositions which
were defeated.
The more important changes
include a . new rule curtailing
sideline coaching. While the
coach is not mentioned in the rule,
its adoption is obviously to pre
vent him having too much to do
with the playing of the game.
The rule reads "No person shall
be allowed to walk up and down
the sidelines. All persons within
the plaving enclosure must be
seated." While therefore a coach
may remain seated in the enclosure
sideline coaching should be great
ly diminished by this new rule.
The practice of the players in
crossing over by way of the
neutral zone was legislated against
in a new rule that no player shall
encroach on the neutral zone after
cither side lias ; lined up. This
rule was deemed necessary to pre
vent confusion, and roughing on
the part of the players, just be
fore the ball is put in play. Caro
lina was enalized for trying to
prevent Georgia from doing this
last fall.
A new rule imposes a ten-yard
penalty from the point where the
ball is put in play, for intention
ally passing the ball forward to
the yround. It will be remember
ed that during the past season
this play was sometimes used to
prevent loss of ground when a
player about to make a forward
pass was tackled back of his line
or was otherwise prevented from
getting the pass off. By passing
the ball forward to the ground,
the side having the ball merely
lost a down, and the defensive did
not receive the reward of having
forced the ball back. A ten-yard
nenaitv. instead ot merely the Joss
of a down, seems a reasonable re
ward for such good defensive
work. .'
The position of field judge was
restored, but whether the field
judge is to act is left to the op
tion of the contending teams.
One change in the rules result
ed from a play in the Yale-Harvard'
game of last autumn. It
will be remembered that O'Brien
of Harvard made an unintentional
safety by carrying the ball back
of his goal-line after it had struck
the goal-posts in a kick off and
bounded back into the field of
play. To prevent such an un
earned score, the rule was amend
ed so that on a kick-off if the ball
strikes the goal post and rebounds
to the field of play it shall be de
clared a touchback.
The kick-out after a touchback
or safety was also abolished. For
several years it has been optional
whether in this case the. ball
should 'bc-put in play by a kick or
by a scrimmage. As it has be-

Defeat on the Durham

Good Work on Foul Shooting, Cag

provement Saturday night Wake Forest
did credit to herself in winning
from Carolina iu basket ball. The
game was fast, like the first
game with Wake Forest played
here two weeks ago. Carolina
got possession of the ball after
the initial toss up. and scored two
fouls before the score keeper had
occasion to mark up anything on
Wake Forest side. Then as that
senseless saying goes"First comes
out worst", Carolina lost the ball.
During the first half, which end
ed with the score 22-15 in favor
of Wake Forest, some excellent
passing was done by Wake For
est. The second half was not
nearly so well played nor so in
teresting as the first, as each
team spent a -good deal 6f time" in
opposing Mr. umps decisions,
For Wake Forest, Hall did best
work, while Long did most to
pile up Carolina's score, shooting
ten goals out of a total of thir
teen. The attendance was ex
ceptionally large. The final
score was 39 to 30.
In a slow, sluggish game of a
seemingly unending 40 minutes
Carolina won the third game of
the series with Durham Y. M. C.
A., by the score 44 to 28. Both
teams were slow and unaggres
sive, and Carolina had very little
trouble in scoring by accurate
shooting, The first half was a
complete walk over and ended 27
to S in Carolina's favor. In this
half Homewood irot away with
several long dribbles for goals;
these features brought down the
entire house of 97 people, includ
ing Carolina's 15 supporters.
The second half, instead of being
an excuse for Carolina to run up
a large score, was played with
almost equal success by both
teams. Ih this half Carolina
scored 17 points, while Durham's
score was 20. Durham ' landed
several pretty shots from mid
floor, and Carrington's unsuccess
ful attempt to put one in for Car
olina was by no means ungrace
fully executed, Tcnneut's de
fense was at all times good.
Dowd led the scoring with 8 field
goals.
This gives Carolina two out of
three of the Durham series.
Coach Trenchard is off the
Hill for a few days. He intends
to visit the alumni and see as
man of them personally as pos
sible and strengthen their
interest in athletics.

EXCHANGE PROF.
From Colonial Institute, Ham
burg. Political Econ
omist TOLD REAL REASON FOR WORLD PEACE
Regular Periods of Depression and
Prosperity: in Business. Consis-
: tantly Profitable Commerce Pepend
Upon International Cooperation.
r One of the most enjoyable, in
teresting, and instructive lectures
of the year was that delivered in
Chapel Tuesday night by Dr.
Karl Rathgen, of the Colonial
Institute, Hamburg, and Kaiser
Von Wilhelm Exchange Profes
sor of Political Economy at
Columbia University. His lec
ture. dealt with economic prob
lems and development in Germany .
for the past quarter-century, and
their relation to the rest of the
world.
' Dr. Rathgen began by citing
the gloomy predictions of the
despondent school of German
Economy who followed the in
dustrial depression of 1873-1897.
These theorists had two princi
pal fears, overpopulation in Ger
many, and the ruin of her foreign
trade by the industrial develop
ment in newer countries. Quot
ing statistics and figures with 1
the utmost facility, Dr. Rathgen
explained the grounds for these
fears and showed how, far from
their being realized, Germany
had for the last twenty Tears en
joyed a period of unprecedented
progress.
Population grew tremendously
for a country already old and
crowded, and this increase had
to be provided for. Since the
agricultural population was in
capable, of expansion, the increase
turned eagerly into the industries
Then larger food imports had to
be made to keep out the insuffi
cient domestic farm products. ;In
turn manufactures had to be in
creased and improved for export
ation in exchange for these
necessaries. This is the situa
tion that Germany successfully
met, in spite of the industrial
growth . of other countries. In
the tremendous progress of the
last twenty years all over the
world, the Fatherland is still
slightly ahead; and two-thirds, of
her exports go to those countries
which it was feared would be her
commercial ruin.
The application of this lesson,
Dr. Rathgen said, is that the
great manufacturing countries
are mutuallj' their own best cus
tomers. Their interests are not
conflicting, but the prosperity of
each depends upon the others.
All age interlinked; their wealth
and progress go hand in hand.
