Tuesday, Feb. 5, 1924 THE TAR HEEL Page Three STUDENT FORUM Whether you are registered for law, chemistry, engineering, phar macy, medicine or a straight A. B., whether you are a freshman, soph omore, junior, senior or graduate stu dent, whatever your chosen profes sion or hopes for life work may be there is one course at this place which you should not miss. Who ever you are it lies' distinctly in your line of work. , The course is not listed in tbe cat alogue. , No fees are charged. No roll is made. No absentees are ip ported and there is no final examina tion. The class only meets twice a week yet it is a FULL course. It may be a little strange to hear of such yet it really exists and has been given for a number of years. How ever it will certainly all come to you when I mention the name of the "Parson." Now when the name of a preacher and church is mentioned don't stop and look for more basket ball scores but at least read the next line. Open your mind for good clear logical thinking and go sit on some of the "Parsons" lectures. His coirse, which through custom must be ".li ed preaching, is as clearly defined and more practical than any course in math, you will find. He has one big theme, which I would say is "Real Religion on a Practical Basis" and each sermon in a development of one and only one "chapter" in this theme. The "Parson" gives meaning to religion which can be appreciat ed, remembered and made a part of ones self. BASKET DATES Feb. 5. Maryland at Col lege Park. Feb. 7. Lynchburg Col lege at Lynchburg.

There are fifty mem bers in Central and South America, fifty in Africa, two hundred and sixty five in Europe, and four hundred and seventy-five in Asia. New York leads the states with seven thousand five hundred members, followed by Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio California and New Jersey. COMMON SENSE EDUCATION The February issue of the "Alum ni Review" has been received from the press, and is one of the most at tractive looking issues which has ap peared in some time. It contains the usual editorials, Alumni notes and departments of the magazine. Special features are a wind-up of this year's basketball team, with a team record and review of the sea son, an article, with an illustration appended, of the new basketball "tin can," and a map of the campus. YE ED I write, I write, O how I write. I'm burning with ambition bright. But every piece must be a fright, They all come back. It isn't right. "The Editor regrets." I try again, another type. A story of a different stripe. But then I find it must be tripe. For it comes back. My eyes I wipe. "The Editor regrets." Now my ambition takes a turn. I do not want to write or learn. But one thing now is my concern. To be the man and others burn With words, "The Editor regrets." A suspicion has been growing of late years that it might be just as well to treat university undergrad uates as adults instead of as chil dren. The creatures seemed to be getting out of hand, and sops like student self-government and the hon or system at examinations and stu dent members on the Faculty Com mittee on Student Affairs were thrown out from time to time by more than one harassed Alma Mater. But, of course, the cut system and compulsory attendance at classes was the prop on which the academic world rested. It seemed obvious that if a student did not have to come to class he would stay away; if you did not believe it, you could visit the classes yourself and see why. Now permit ting the students to decide for them selves if and when they will attend classes. This puts a fearful respon sibility on the instructor. Hence forth he must make his classes in teresting. At the end of the course he will also have to prepare an ex amination determining less whether the student has mastered his facts than whether he has any ideas about them, or about anything. Some young gentlemen will never come to class at all, but if they do not and can satis fy the instructor in those two points, Princeton is ready to admit that it is all right. Common-sense some times sounds alarmingly revolution ary. Michigan Daily. CLASSIFIED TAR KEEL CLASSIFIED RATES On Cent a Word (This Type) Each Insertion Ten Cents Minimum Charge.

BUILDING NOTES Final specifications for Chapel Hill's new Methodist church, which will be started within six months, are being prepared by the architects, James-Gambel Rogers, of New York city, with Atwood and Nash, of Chapel Hill, as associate architects. Mr. B. S. Thompson, contractor, has begun construction of a six-room house on the Pritchard property, near Rosemary Street. Upon com pletion, he contemplates soiling the property.

Upon completion, it will be one of the best equipped bakeries in the state. Mr. G. H. Paulson will receive bids on his new house, to be located op posite Mr. Pritchard's place on Vance Street, within the near future. Bradshaw Disagrees The Greensboro "Daily News" of last Sunday contained a contribution from F. F. Bradshaw, Dean of Stu dents at the University, in which Mr. Bradshaw disagreed with a certain business man quoted in the paper re cently, who declared that the schools of the state were not properly fit ting their graduates for industrial life. He recommended more voca tional training. Mr. Bradshaw, in his letter, ex plained the system of vocational guidance now in vogue here, and dis agreed that the professions notably the medical profession are over crowded in this state. Honor Students Receive Letters For the first time in University history, letters of congratulations tre being mailed to honor roll stvi i.ents. Dr. J. F. Royster, Dear; of the College of Liberal Arts, has mail ed personal letters of congratulation to the 99 students in the Liberal Arts school who averaged "B's" on their autumn work. Copies of tho letters have also been sent to parent? of the ..tuients. Dr. Royster states that four per cjiit fewer freshmen failed their vork than failed a year ago. EDUCATOR SAYS COLLEGE COURSE AVORTH $20,000 Dean Holmes of the Pennsylvania State College after months of study of statistics arrived at the money val ue of four years in college to the graduate as being $20,000 or $5,000 per year. In other words the college graduate averages to earn enough more than the man without the advantage of a college education that his college edu caton has been valued at $20,000.
