THE SCHOOL OF APPLIED
SCIENCE
This, the fourth f a series of edi
torials on the different divisions of
the University, is based on a sym
posium of criticisms which were writ
ten by students in the School of Ap
plied Science.
The school of Applied Science is
an old one; it used to include almost
every branch of science taught at the
University. But in later years it has
been divided into distinct schools, the
schools f Engineering being made
into a separate school.
On the whole most of the professors
are good. They are specialists in
their respective subjects and have
taught then over a period of years.
The most of them are Ph JX men and
have the true scientific outlook.. In
considering' the respective schools as
a whole, it is surprising to find that
the professors are either full profes
sors or associate professors. There
are very few instructors and teach
ing frftows wh play any part in the
students' work ether than directing
laboratories.
At the head of this, school of Ap
p'aed Science is Df. A. IL Patterson.
; wh is -not only popular as a dean
bat is popular among all cX the sta
denta of the schoel as a teacher. As
a deaa h shows a great deal of in
terest in the work of his students.
He is approachable and very affable.
He has. a kind of personality ' that
draws his stadeats. to him, and at aB
times he exhibits a kindly attitad
toward the failings of the asdergrad
uata. One of the chief purposes of the
sehool seems to be the eKmi&atfcn of
all inSt men asd poor statients be
ton they shaE reach the kog and
cult ap kill grade of Img years
iai meviicine. This coarse seems to
try la gtve xfte student as much A.
year comes into contact with the per
sonnel of the Chemistry department
Hera he finds a school fairly crowded
with competent professors and lab
oratory instructors and assistants
who know their subjects to the last
detail. After a rapid survey of in
organic chemistry, the student is in
itiated into the intricacies of Chem
istry 35, a course composed of Quali
tative and Quantitative analysis. Here
he learns the manipulation of lab
oratory apparatus under the direc
tion of Dr. Dobbins, whom all of the
students admire for his fair minded-
ness, and for the way he presents
his course. -
The next Chemistry course is given
by Dr. Wheeler, who, to do justice to
the man, really knows his course but
never succeeds in teaching it with any
degree of clearness. After the two
courses are finished the student won
ders what it has all been about As
a "lecturer lir. heeler is probably
the rottenest professor in the Univer
sity. He writes strings and strings
of formulas on the board, passes from
one to the other with so much rapidity,
and with such poor explanations that
the student is always left befuddled.
Were it not for , the text book and
for the kindliness of the quiz masters,
the mortality rate of, the men would
be much larger. He is a man of lit
tle personality; his lectures are such
that asking questions about obscure
points is discouraged, and he drones
out facts for fifty-two minutes which
seem like as many hours. -
Physics and Mathematics are taken
because they are required, not because
the student is interested injthem. But
in these courses the average man likes
the professors. As a general rule
the mathematics professors are good,
above the average. Most of the inen
who take physics arrange their sched
ule so that they are enabled to take
the two courses under Dr. Patterson.
He is easy and genial, and presents
his courses with such clearness that
one is almost compelled te learn some
thing, about them. But Dr. Stuhl-
man and Dr. Plyler are not to be
sneezed at Both of them, give their
courses very well and in a compre
hensive manner. The laboratories of
these courses are interesting and are
m charge of really competent instruc
tors and undergraduate assistants.
The other science courses indulged
in are Botany and Zoology.
Botany at best is very dry.
Those other than B. S. Med students
consider it as a "gripe." But the
course is presented in a comprehen
sive if somewhat detailed manner.
Zoology 1 and S give the B. S. Med
man a good and thorough start in the
comparative anatomy that is nnished
by the studying of the human body.
only 4ican take the course of com
parative anatomy. Zoology 5, which
is required of them; 24 the second
year of the class, and 24 the third
year of the class. The others must
replace it with Zoology 2, a course
that is nowhere as useful and impor
tant to them as Zoology S. -The
difficulty lies in lack of work
ing space. The course 2b lab could
be given two days a week in the morn
ing, and finished up by two periods
on Saturday. This would leave the
first floor lab free for a spring coarse
of Zoology S. As Professor Wilson
would be busy with his class in His
tology, an instructor eocld be placed
w e&arge of this Zoology S class.
This would allow about 125 men in
stead of 4s to take this coarse, per-
naps even more during the three
years.
Zoology 1 is taught -by Dr. K. E.
Coker. The course is hard, extreme
ly so, and requires endless hoars of
preparation and study. However, the
students who take it are interested
and are willing to do the work that
is necessary to pass it The other
course, Zoology 5, is. fanght by Dr.
; Wilson. It is- primarily a laboratory
course anJ requires two hoars class
work fire days a week, It is the
hardest course in the school, bar none.
And it is a hieky man who gets oat
with less than three hoars work m
day.-: Dr.' W&soa is" &an; he isex
acting, and has no patience with
drones and men who are not willin
ta really work. He makes that an-
derstood at the first of the quarter
and porsaes that policy daring the j
reatatneef. ' of the coarse. He has
many idiosyncrasies. He is a hard
but fair taskmaster. And the stu
dents work.

of the few writers who are able
to handle the negro dialect with
out making it'eomical or absurd.
He has captured the rythm and
flow of the negro's speech, and
the workings of his mind.
The second part of Sara
Haardt's Jackson, Tennessee is
also quite good. Miss Haardt
has taken material that less orig
inal and more verbose authors
would stretch into a lengthy
magazine story, , or perhaps a
novel, and made of it brilliant
sketches enhanced rather than
handicapped by brevity.
Anthony, by Katherine John
son, holds its own against the
poetry representing outside con
tributors. The Goldfish, by. Vic
tor Starbuck is the only reliev
ing note struck in the Magazine;
Here is good verse and better
philosophy more, it is unbur
dened of senimentality, sex, or
stark tragedy.
Two things in the Pasture de
serve mention. The tabulation
of ideas and ideals of the fresh
man class is notable, and the
biting editorial concerning the
Kenan gift, though bald, is sure
and clear. , . . ,
The woodcut by Elizabeth
Lay, and poetry by Clinton
Scollard and Lilith Shell do not
mingle discordantly with " the
other material in the issued Two
things only there are with which
we would find fault. The make
up of the magazine is crude, and
could certainly be improved up
on. The cover is sickening.
When gazed at for any length
of, time, it produces the effect
of biliousness. "
The editors chant "Our head
is bloody but unbowed !" It was
feared that after the late un
pleasantness there would be a
decided move to innocuous safe
ty, but praise Allah the faith
is kept!
Charlotte Meets Sanford Here
(Continued from page one)
The games between the. group
champions in the eastern series
resulted as follows: Sanford
won over Rocky Mount by the
score of 13 to 0 in a game play
ed at Raleigh. Wilmington de
feated Rockingham at Lumber
ton with a score of 7 to 0. In
the final eastern game, played
at Fayetteville on Thanksgiving
day, Sanford defeated Wilming
ton by a score of 7 to 0.
In the western group the re
sults were: Charlotte defeated
Asheville 13 to 0 ; Greensboro
defeated Winston-Salem 7 to 0
In the final game of the western
series, which was played at Sal
isbury on November 27, Char
lotte defeated Greensboro by the
score of 15 to 0.
Ancient Enemies
Both Charlotte and Sanford
have taken prominent parts jn
the state high school football
championships .'. of previous
years. Charlotte won the west
ern championship in 1915, los
ing the state final game to -Ra
leigh. In;1916 and again in 1917
Charlotte won the state cham
pionship. " For the third time,
in 1923, Charlotte won the cov
eted title, Sanford . has twice
won the eastern title, losing the
state title in hard" fought games,
in 1923 to the Charlotte team
and in 1925 to the Gastonia
team.
Both high schools are' well
coached, and each is very strong
ly supported by its respective
locality. The Sanford team is
coached by Paul V. Parks, for
merly of Elon Coljege ; the Char
lotte team is handled by Jack
Caldwell, former Duke Univer
sity gridiron star, and by Otto
Gullickson, formerly of the
Springfield Y. M. C. A. College.
A large crowd is expected to
be upon Emerson Field Satur
day when the Charlotte-Sanford
game is called at 2 :30.

Pictorial Review Editor to Speak
.. r- '
Mrs. Ida Clarke, editor of the
Pictorial Rerieur, has been se
cured as the banquet speaker at
the Third Annual Newspaper
nstitute, which is to be held at I
Chapel Hill January 6.
The securing of Mrs. Clarke
is looked upon as very fortunate
because of her record as a bril
liant speaker of international
fame as well as the editor of an
important magazine. She . is
really a Southern woman, hav
ing achieved success in the news
paper field in the South before
going to New York nine years

Mrs. Clarke has recently re
turned from a trip to Europe
where she visited ten countries
at the request of the American j
Women's Committee for Inter
national Good Will. She is the
author of a number of books.

Man-power
Four millions of the best man-power of Europe
perished in the Napoleonic conquests. Military con
quest is non-geative, while industry : is always'
creative. 4 . , ..
In the last ten years one American manufacturer
Ae General Electric Company has created machines
having a man-power forty times as great as that of
sH the lives lost in the Napoleonic wars.
In the years to come, when the college men and women
of today are at the helm of industry mdof the home,
it will be realized more and more that human energy
is too valuable to be wasted where electricity can do
the work better at lower cost.
