SAVING THE SCHOOLS
It seems to us that an attempt
to . pass laws regarding what
shall and shall not be taught in
public schools or state operated
higher institutions is a slap in
the face for men who have spent
their lives endeavoring to better
educational conditions in the
state. Undoubtedly, any such
laws would be an official expres
sion on the part of he stale il
lustrating that the state did not
and could not have confidence
in the men chosen to direct the
policies of the schools.
As little acquainted as we are
with constitutional law, we are
willing to say that such legisla
tion is a yolation of the spirit
of the principles which are the
rights of Americans. According
to the letter in the law, the state
would be within her right to pre
scribe the list of subjects taught
in high schools and state univer
sities, but tdimagine that men
who have spent years of tireless
research; who have labored for
an end ; who are sincere in their
di scoveries would t attempt to
cover the truth is tomfoolery. !
Are educational leaders in the
state sincere? Would men wan
tonly fill the minds of youth with
false ideas? No reputable sci
entist or scholar ever offered to
take a theory , as fact until he
eould offer concrete evidence of
his right to do so. Would the
state attempt to suppress re
search and reason by laws which
are not, to say the most, based
on clear reasoning? The most
eminent scholars dn the state
have taken a stand in opposi
tion to the proposed ruling. , Is
it logical for the state to attempt
to force something which educa
tional leaders cannot possibly en
dorse?., ; '. .;
We cannot believe that . the
move to enforce certain princi
ples in state schools will ever
gain momentum. It does no'
seem plausible that people in this
supposed age of enlightenment
could be so intolerant. And, it
is, speaking of the move to bring
about . legislation against the
growth of North Carolina school
system, not logical to believe that
citizens of this' commonwealth
would welcome, a return of the
same type of intolerance that
suppressed the theories of Gal
lileo simply because they con
flicted with the teachings of 'the
established church of that per
iod.
Now, if the law were passed
and enforced nd every teacher
in North Carolina schools who
even so t much as offered to
breathe a word against funda
mental doctrines of several cen
turies, would he be thrown in
the inquisition in more modern
prison? ' Would there be a re
turn of form? Of course we say
no, that such an idea is nonsen
sical. But then why the law?
No nation is so helplessly bur
dened with laws that are not
enforced as ours. Such a con
dition, that of making laws to
suit the tastes of everybody, can
easily grow into a terribledis
ease with a tragic end. "
There is ah eminent danger,
if our educational system is to
be submitted to too drastic leg
islative action, that people who
have little knowledge of educa
tional principles may gain con
trol of our school system, reduc
ing it, as a result, to a'. pitiable
sham,; Teaching the theory of
evolution as a theory can do
nothing .more than broaden the
mind of the pupil.,; Teaching the
theory of evolution as a, fact
would mean that, .teachers, were
not sincere, not capable. , Truth,
it has been said, will out. Our
progeny generations from now
will laugh" at our ignorance just
as we laugh at the stupidity of
the sects which threw, Gallileo
and other teachers into prison
for their willingness to deviate
from the beaten path in hope of
bringing additional enlighten
ment to a world living in the
dark. If the theory whjch is so
painful to certain legislators is
false it will fall , victim .of . its
own weight. If it is false and
laws made to outlaw it, it will
as a matter 01 tact Decome a
martyr in the , public eye. If
we would eliminate questionable
theories from our school system.
simply give them enough rope,
enough room for expression, and
they will automatically suppress
themselves. In most enlighten
ed sections, such facts are, es:

DULA WRITES ANOTHER
Editor of Tar Heel: ; '
, Understanding that the reso
lution introduced in the Di So-
ciety regarding - the -Golden
Fleece, had been tabled indef
initely, and that the "argument'
was over, the natural result was
a sigh of relief. It is with re
gret that this article is "forced"
to appear ,f and apologies are of
fered with it. Knowing that
certain parties will elaborate on
the happenings in the Di soci
ety, it is only justice that more
thari one side be heard. "For
give them, they are but children,
they know not what they do
And it is barely possible that one
ordinary "fool" can have more
common sense than several
"wise men sitting in council."
The first motion introduced into
the Di society was for the "AB
OLITION" of the Golden Fleece.
This is what ; the student body
has been led to believe would
be the question discussed. The
question of abolition was not
discussed by the Di society in
the Tuesday meeting. When the
society opened the first motion
introduced was by the leader of
the movement against the Gold
en Fleece, and,, the exact word
ing was, "Resolved that the Di
alectic society go on record as
DISAPPROVING" the present
organization known as' the Gold
en Fleece." .7 In passing this
AMENDED resolution the ap
parent result, was to leave the
impression that the original mo
tion was passed. . What has hap
pened is this The Dialectic so
ciety has passed a resolution
that rWe do not LIKE the Gold
en Fleece," 'Any person can
pass a resolution that he does
not like a negro, a chinaman, or
what-not, and be thoroughly
competent to do so, and this res
olution have no effect on what
anyone else thought of the afore
said article or thing. , It is an
unmitigated and far-fetched pre
sumption on the part of these
men to assume that they have
the right, as one "organization,
such as it is, to "censure" an
other organization such as the
Golden Fleece in this manner.
Several members of the society
refused to vote on the resolu
tion on account of this fact be
cause they said that they had
no right to do such a thing. In
cidentally, the motion was pass
ed with a 2 majority. The main
arguments against" the Fleece
were It is idealistic, it is not
perfect, it has not achieved its
goal, it is liable to set some one
up as a tin god quite sufficient
arguments and reasons for some
people to not like anything.
I have a perfect rght to pass
personal resolution, or get a
few men together and pass a res
olution, "Resolved that we or
do not approve of: or like the
religion of the 'Zingo' island
ers."; 'Their religion might be
none cf my business, and what
I or we thought of it not affect
them very much though it
might be a source of keen satis
faction to me to be able to criti
cise them thusly. '.
Thi3 "amended" . resolution
was railroaded through the Di
society and there is a possibil
ity that it will react to the dis
credit of those who have seem
ingly achieved their "Goal or
mission in life." 1
R. L. DULA
in dealing with the students she
comes in contact with., , .
A student went over there the
other morning and very civilly
requested information as to the
whereabouts of a certain prof,
who is incidentally the ; secre
tary's boss, and the said student
received such treatment as is or
dinarily riot accorded even to
jailbirds by the jailkeeper..
, Information that is reliable
goes to the effect that such oc
curences are more than common,
in fact only what is to be expect
ed. How the future rollers of
pills put up with this individual
will be a mystery to all men of
spirit and pride.
The officials of . the University
would be doing the town of
Chapel Hill a great service if
they could remedy the situation,
let alone the poor defenseless
students. May this matter be
called to their attention !
PUBLIUS
Editor of Tar Heel:
The Ydckety Yack staff is to
be commended for its action in
eliminating the superfluous and
often ludicrous panagrics which
have been attached to the names
of the graduates whose , names
appear, in, the college annual..
These write ups have largely
consisted of gross and malapro
pos exagger,atiorisof virtues and
abilities which often times were
entirely non existent. It is ob
vious that a student's real worth
and achievement' is sufficiently
expressed through; the statistics
retained. ; Any further comment
serves to give one a distorted and
not infrequently untrue charac
terization. ' 1 . 7 :
The staff as representative of
the student body has not exceed
ed its power in taking the steps
mentioned and for one, I ant in
entire accord with the actions
taken.
