r Page Four THE TAR HEEL Saturday, January 8, 1927 RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY OF STATE SCORED W. O. Saunders, Famous Editor' De nounces Bible Leaguers and Fundamentalism. ' "When -1 think of the ignor ance, stupidity, and bigotry that are associated with the name of religion in North Carolina to ' day, I agree with Voltaire that the first divine was the first rogue that met . the first fool, W. 0. Saunders, editor of the Elizabeth City Independent and . widely known contributor to sev eral magazines,' including . Col liers and the American Maga zine, declared in. Chapel yester day morning. v"There is a great battle raging in the state that between 'Fundamentalism and Modernism." "Old age is saying to youth, 'Thou shalt not think.' You boys must win for yourselves the rights of freedom of thought and of freedom of speech. Most of you ( have more knowledge than Aristotle, Moses, Jesus, Pla to, or St. Paul, but they had big ger heads and used them to the best advantage. , However, youth must work to get ahead. The shirker is one, of the greatest curses of the human race." Happiness, according to Mr. Saunders, consists mostly of a i thrill scattered here and there through, life. "I don't knor that such a thing1 exists," he said. We cannot really strive for happi ness, but for the right to deserve happiness. Editor Saunders urged the students never, to accept any thing without proof, but to al ways know a thing to be the truth, from experience before ad mitting, it to be the truth. . It is one oif .the' fundamental lies of history that there are certain infallible' book. There are ab solutely no infallible books, in Mr. Saunders' opinion. "The greatest invention was that of the typesetting machine and of machine-made paper," Mr. Saunders declared. "Books., magazines and newspapers are the greatest educational influ ences in the world." ; Comment ing on his magazine work, Mr. Saunders said that there was no formula for admission to . the ranks of magazine writers. "I -started out with a little country newspaper and finally succeed ed through hard work. -Take what is at hand and do your best on it, and the bigger things will come to you." . '. The bill introduced in the leg islature to prohibit the teaching of evolution in the schools of theJ state and the newly formed Bible League drew Editor Saun ders' fire. He characterized them as instruments of ignorance. Yackety-Yack Editorial Staff To Meet Monday The Editorial Staff of the Yackety Yack will meet at 3 :00 p. m.

Capart had return ed, from a fifth expedition in company with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Leopold of Belgium, to the most famous tomb which has been discovered in Egypt that of King Tutankhamen. Below are given some extracts from a lecture delivered by M. Capart before the Fondation Universataire, May 15, 1925 The lecture appeared in the De cember issue, 1925, of the Bulle tin du Cercle des Alumni de la Fondation' Univrsitaire, under he title "Mes Impressions D'Amerique." 'My; wife and I arrived at New York towards the middle of October, 1924. We went first to North Carolina, where I gave a series of lectures at the . Uni versity of Chapel Hill, where one of my former students, Wallace Caldwell, who has studied at Brussells under the auspices of the Fondation Universitaire, is professor of ancient history." The attitude of the J Ameri cans during the athletic contests is equally amusing to observe. I shall always remember the foot ball which we attended at the University of North Carolina. You should have seen the digni fied professors becoming excit ed like children and losing their self control to such an extent that in the middle of the game they would rise from their seats to shout advice to their favorite players as to some particular play they should use in order to win the game; they were beside themselves, throwing their hats on the athletic field. I saw some whose companions would pull them by the coat tails in order to calm their exuberance. An invalid, during the game, found no other means of manifesting his enthusiasm than throwing his crutch iri the air. Well, . . there i3 in this spirit something good, wholesome, and agreeable to see, and especially to see. for the first time." ; He comments on the honesty of the American people, mention ing the fact, that parcel post packages are. frequenty left on top of mail boxes, even in large cities, when' such , packages are too large to be placed in the mail boxes, and asks the question: What would happqn in Brussels if such a thing were done? , He makes the following observa tion about honesty among stu dents: ". f ...... I saw wooden boxes, containing very appetizing ap-i pies and bearing the sign : "Five 1 An addition of $250 to the A. B. Andrews Loan Fund has been made by A. B. Andrews of. Ra leigh.

" I asked if those who sold fruits in this way did good business. They explained to me that they, were self-help students who" were trying to gain some money in order to pay for their tuition. They never lose money by theft, and more often they find too much money in the cash box. Some one not having the proper change put in ten cents instead of five, but did not take but one apple." He speaks of the tolerance of the American people, and sup ports his claim by citing the fol lowing: "One fine quality, which de serves to hold our attention, is the deep tolerance of the Ameri cans. They. do; not ask your creed, they ask your conviction You may believe what you please on, the condition that you ; are sincere, and there upon every one is ready to give you help and every . opportunity to develop yourself according to your con victions. , .
