rm rm On To Greensboro On To Greensboro Volume XXIX illECTiESf " PERSONALITY li CITY Harvard Professor Makes First of Three Lectures on Personality in Politics Tuesday Night. THE WEIL LECTURE SERIES William B. Munro, professor of the science of municipal government at the University of Harvard, de livered the first of the Weil lectures Tuesday night in Gerrad Hall, taking as his subject "Personality in City Politics." Professor Mu.iro opened his re marks by quoti lg the i Id adage to the ' effect that: A gentleman is easy to recognize, but hard to describe." It is the same with personality, that thing which has caused so much '. f ference in the government of cities under the same administrative sys tem. "The personality of the mayir makes the difference," Professor Munro said. In support of his argument the speaker cited the examples of notable mayors, including Mayor John P. Mitchell, of New York; Mayor Seth Lowe, of New York; Mayor Gaynor, of the same city; "Golden Rule" Jones, of Toeldo, and others. Mayor Mitchell was elected mayor on a reform platform by a very large majority and his administration is one of the best in the history of New York City, yet, when he sought re election, he was decisively defeated. "What is the reason for the defeat of a mayor of this sort," asked Pro fessor Munro. "It was because he had lost his touch with the masses. His administration had become too organic. He had not that political sagacity, which keeps a politician ever in close contact with the mass of voters. He had lost the common touch in his search for administrative efficiency. Hence honesty and effi ciency are not the only qualities re quisite for a successful mayor." "Golden Rule" Jones, for many years mayor of Toledo, was rather the reverse of Mayor Mitchell. He was Inclined to radicalism and never formed or carried out any definite policy and was continually fought by the politicians, but never successfully because of his personality and his knowledge of the people. As he him self expressed it, "Everybody is i against me except the voters." In concluding his lecture, Profes : sor Munro stressed the importance of city government, stating that the pop ulations of the cities comprises more than one-half of the total popula tion of the country and it is in the cities that the great national ques tions are decided. The immigrants flood the cities and there obtain their first impression of American poli tical institutions. It is not well for them to be disillusioned by finding the government marked by ineffi ciency and corruption. Misgovernment in the cities spreads into the counties and thence into the administration of the affairs of the state. "The task of making the cities is one of the greatest of today," Professor Munro said, "for he who makes the city makes the world." DR. KNIGHT SPEAKS IN CHAPEL ON EDUCATION Talks in Vernacular of Baseball and Applies His Analogy to Education. Speaking in chapel Monday morn ing, April 18, Dr. Knight of the Department of Education, talked in the vernacular of baseball and ap plied his analogy to education. He told of a game that he witnessed some time ago in which before a crowd of 18,000 people, the game was won by a man named Jackson stealing home. He said that the destination of the baseball player was not third base. Third base was only a way station on the way to a destination which was the home plate. In applying this to education, Dr. Knight said that two many students were content to die on third base. He said that there was a great tend ency of the students of the gram mar and high schools of the country to stop after they have finished this part of their education. He applied his moral and said to the freshmen that they should not be content to have third base for their destination in the game of getting an education.

DIRECTORS SELECTED FOR THE NEXT PLAYS Mr. McKie, Director of Acting, Give Individual Coaching in Character Parts. to At a recent meeting of the pro ducing staff of the Carolina Play makers, permanent directors were chosen both for the plays on the pro gram to be given here April 29th and 30th, and also for the plays which will immediately afterwards be taken on the state tour. Mr. McKie will, with the aid of an assistant, direct John Terry's "The Reaping." Mr. McKie will also direct two of the plays to be taken on the trip, namely, Paul Green's "The Miser" and Miss Lay's "When Witches Ride," all these be ing under the general supervision of Mr. Koch. Mr. Koch will give most of his attention to the two comedies on this program, and to "In Dixon's Kitchen" when it goes on the trip. LeGette Blythe's "The Chatham Rabbit" 'will be directed by Mr. Koch, assisted by Mr. Howell, Wil bur Stout's "In Dixon's Kitchen" by Mr. Koch, assisted by Miss Lay. The authors are assisting on their re spective plays. Mr. McKie who was formerly in charge of dramatics at the Univer sity has been designated as director of acting and in that capacity will assist on all plays, giving most of his attention to individual coaching in character parts. Mr. McKie is also workimj on a plan which should be of great va'ue in the casting of plays. A permanent record is to be kept of all those who show dramatic ability .in the try outs. A person who shows up well but is not selected for a part, will thus be available when a similar part in another play is to be cist.

The annual Southern student Y. M. C. A. Conference will be held at Blue Ridge, N. C, June 14-24. This conference is under the general supervision of the International Com mittee of the Young Men's Christian Associations, in cooperation with the State committees of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Ten nessee and Kentucky, and is formu lated with the help of the Southern Student Field Council of the South ern States. Each day of the con ference has its program of inspira tion, recreation, rejuvination, and va cation. The best men of the colleges, both students and faculty, president, and' religious and philosophical lead ers attend this conference. Eighty six professors and ministers from the colleges of the South met at Blue Ridge during the 1920 conference. The morning hours of each day are taken up in classes, discussions of Y. M. C. A. problems, needs, etc. The afternoons are given over to hikes, athletics, and swimming. Blue Ridge is less than a day's trip to Mt. Mitchel, and there are many other places of equal interest to which the delegates may go. The chief interest in recre ation is athletics. If there are enough representatives to form full teams there are contests between the col leges. In 1920 Carolina lost to Wash ington and Lee in baseball, 1 to 0. Every kind of sport and games are taken part in. The even ings are given over to singing and lectures. At Blue Ridge is a North Carolina cottage owned jointly by N. C. Col lege and Carolina. It has a large open fire-place and is made as home like as possible. It has a capacity of twenty-five boys. The expenses are the actual cost of the conference. A campaign is now on to ge twenty five Carolina men to attend the con ference this summer. The men in the University who have attended Blue Ridge conferences are: Frank Gra ham, Francis Bradshaw, Wilbur Stout, Donnell VanNoppen, R. F. Marsh burn, Chas. Smith, Chas. Philips, and Chas.

He won the Mary D. Wright Me morial Debate last year. IS SIBJEiY'S TOPIC Member of British Colonial Service Speaks on Advancement Being Made by Indians. In an address on British policies in India, Monday night, in Gerrard Hall, Sir Henry Home, of the British Colonial Service, in India, showed how India had proved her capability during the World War, and was now a Colonial Dominion of the same rank as Canada and Australia. Up to this time India was a province, and not represented in the Imperial Council. The Indians are being educated to take over the home government, and to take an important part in all phases of domestic rule. The Eng lish have established training schools for men who wish to enter this field, which has no restrictions as to caste or religion. So far, few have shown enough ability to iiold the most im portant offices but those few have made good. Before the World War no Indian had held a commission in the British army. When the first native troops were sent to France, ten commissions were given to native Indians, and many more were given during the War. At present ten are given every year to the most promising soldiers. Only about one-third of the troops in India are natives, but the number is to be gradually raised to two thirds. There is also an Indian Civil Ser vice, for those who want to enter the government service, but as yet this is corruptly managed in . most provinces. A free trade policy has been worked out. "In a few years India will make great advancements along all these lines, according to the present indications," Sir Henry Home concluded. School Game Ends In Free For All Fight Aberdeen, April 19. The third de ciding game between the Raeford and Carthage high schools, which was played here this afternoon ended in a free for all fight in the fourteenth inning after Carthage had scored the run which gave them a 5 to 4 vie tory. Henry Graves, a spectator from Carthage was struck in the head by a baseball bat in the hands of John ! McLean, a Raeford adherent. Mc I Lean was placed under arrest and j Graves, unconscious and said to be ' seriously injured, was rushed to Rex Hospital in Raleigh. The fight started when it was al leged that Carthage players inter fered with Raeford players, thereby allowing the winning run to be scored No. 54 Carolina Enters Contest The Favorite For First Time In Several Years. BIGGEST GAME OF SEASON Fetzer Has Had His Men Hard at Work All The Week In Pre paration. J By J. J. Wade. On to Greensboro ! Captain Lefty Wilson's Carolina varsity baseball team pulled out of town today, and is all ready for the annual fray with Virginia tomorrow in the Gate City. For the first time in several years Carolina enters the annual contest several times the favorite, and if Fet zer's charges fail to bring home the bacon the dope will be wholly upset. The first game with Virginia, played in Charlottesville on April 2nd, went to the Blue and White team by the score of 5-2. Bryson worked on the mound and his peerless twirling coupled with Lowe's home run, was instrumental in downing the Vir ginians on their home lot. Fetzer has had his men hard at it all the week in preparation for the big Greensboro classic. This game is always about the biggest baseball game of the season in North Caro lina and is a powerful drawing card. The showirfg that the Carolina team makes in this contest is always watched with eager interest. The week has been spent in prac tice games, and in hitting and field ing practices which have lasted till nearly dark every afternoon. Tues day Fetzer sent his team in against the first year reserve team, allow ing the latter aggregation six outs in every inning. The varsity was unable to connect with the ball as it should have done, and the result was that Patterson's team, although working with the big advantage of three extra outs per inning, made it rather interesting for the varsity. Fetzer worked Shirley on first base and Lowe on third in the place of Spruill and Fred Morris, respectively, Tuesday afternoon. The trial change in the line-up in this practice came as a result of somewhat erratic field ing by the two regulars in the David son game last week. But the new infield did not work so smooth as the old in their try out together Tues day and before the afternoon was over Fetzer sent Spruill back to first and Fred Morris, who had taken Lowe's place in right field, exchanged places with the latter. It is believed that the regular in field with Spruill on first, McLean on second, McDonald on short, and Fred Morris at third, will be used against the Virginians tomorrow. In that case Lowe will keep to his posi tion in right field, Shirley will re main in center, and Sweetman or Lewellyn, if he isn't on the mound, will play the left garden. Casey Morris will, of course, perform be hind the plate. There is some speculation as to just who Fetzer will send in the box. The three first string pitchers, Wilson, Lewellyn, and Bryson, are all in good shape and anxious to get the call. Bryson already has one victory to his credit over the Vir ginians this season and it is not prob able that he will again be used. Either Captain Wilson or Lewellyn is expected to do the twirling ar.d (Continued on Page Four) CONTRACTOR MAKES BUSINESS VISIT HERE Mr. Thomas C.
