Page Four THE TARHEEL Thursday, May 26, 1927 CLIPPED ANOTHER FIRST TOR N. v C. 1 North Carolina is again leading the way, and this time in a highly con structive fashion which is certain to prove extremely beneficial. A plan has been worked out where by post-graduate work will be given prapticing physicians in all sections of the state under an extension system fostered by the University. The plan which has already been endorsed by the Nash county medical society so that one 'of the classes will be con ducted here, represents the initial step in such a move on the part of any state. ; So successful has the undertaking proved however, that it has attract ed considerable attention and the "North Carolina plan'? is to come in for discussion at the annual meeting of the American Medical association now under way in Washington. In dications are that other states will adopt it and North Carolina will have just cause for pride in another one of its "firsts," There is even ground for local pride in the plan for physicians of this im mediate section had no little part in getting the "North Carolina plan" started. It was at a meeting of the Fourth District Medical society in 1916 that the doctors of the district decided they would like to make some arrangements for obtaining extension instructions which should keep them abreast of the most modern discov eries in the science of medicine. The next plan was to have the district schedule a course. Then the matter was left to Dr. W. S. Rankin, of the state board of health, and he pro posed the idea to the University of North Carolina. There was laid the foundation for the system. Under it leading experts connect ed with standard medical colleges and clinics are brought into the state periodically. Weekly classes are held at any point where as many as 15 i physicians enroll for' the course. In these classes the practicing physician has brought to him in lectures and demonstrations the most recent ad vancements which the research and experimental work of the hospitals j and clinics of the nation have devel oped. The doctor is able to get a comprehensive course on some special field of medicine and does not have to leave his practice, travel to some for eign city and spend much time and money. Something of the advantages of the metropolitan clinics are brought to the door of the country doctor. This is a first of which the state should really be proud Rocky Mount Telegram. MORE ABOUT EXTRA CURRICULA Emphatic endorsement ' of extra curricular activities formed the basis for a striking editorial recently in the Michigan Daily which is, with the exception of The Daily Illini perhaps the outstanding college jour nal of the country. The editorial pro nouncements of , this paper, are not generally of as high a standard as the remainder, of the publications, and in this instance the Crimson-White thinks the point made is at least ques tionable. As the expressions of gen eral opinion of some twelve thousand undergraduates, however, the argu ment is at least worthy of this re print: . The theory that indulgence in extra-curricular activities is fatal to scholarship has at length been rele gated to its proper, place among out worn superstitions and fancies. An investigation conducted by the sociol ogy department of this University brought forth statistics which prove that those who are most actively en gaged in work which is not included in the curiculum are also those who rank highest in scholarship. Good stu dents are interested in three outside activities and honor students in four. It is not hard to find reasons why this is so. In the first place, only ca pable students, who are 'not forever grubbing through books, will have the time to devote ; to' extra-curricular work. It is the capable student, too, who will have the talent to engage in such activities as dramatics, debating, the student government, or students publications. In most cases it re quires ability to obtain1 good marks. It is therefore obvious that the same student will rank high in scholarship j and in extra-curricular activity. The time that an individual spends in college should result in his prepara tion for active competition in the world after he has graduated. While in some degree the work that he does in scholastic courses helps to fit him for this, yet it does not provide as much as might be desired of compe tition between man and man. It is this alone which will result in his be coming capable of holding his own once he has entered the world of ac tion.' Extra-curricular activity and the effort required to, obtain success in it are the finest ways of acquiring such training while in college. The qualifications for a clerk specify that he be able to concentrate and to per form mental labor. They do v not necessarily require that he be capable of making his way in the face of ob stacles which present themselves when other men become ambitious. The qualifications for a successful busi ness man require that he should both be able to perform difficult mental la bor and at the same time be able to protect his own interests and the in terests of those he represents. Since extra-curricular activities provide, the student with an opportunity to train himself for a similar psychological situation, their value may be founded on that tenet The curricular and extra-curricular should work in con junction to produce the most desirable results and discrimination in favor of one against the other should be dis couraged. The report of the sociology department is therefore only a just vindication of one of the most im portant parts of college training.

It has in a way com mitted suicide under the . direction, of the college faculty. The eight young men who belonged to the organization were summoned before the faculty and informed that while fraternities and other organizations and clubs were allowed on the campus, this sui cide club business wasn't recognized, and that the club must be put out of business or the members would be sent home pronto permanently. While those .boys had formed what was ad vertised by an unsolicited press agent as a "Suicide Club," and had joined without fear, . so we were told, the threat of being expelled was a serious matter. That was far more serious than exploring the mysteries of sui cide. Therefore, in the face of the more serious alternative which they were brought to face, they very wise ly abandoned the less serious suicide club. " The fact that they so readily gave up thei? organization 'under the fear of expulsion from college, indi cates very clearly that they did not view the socalled "suicide club" with any great degree of seriousness. They did not look upon it with half the seriousness that the faculty and some of the public seemed to view it.- The whole thing was more or less of a joke. It couldn't have been other wise, even if the members of the club had believed themselves serious. In fact, if they had been engaged in the serious contemplation of suicide, it would have been a greater joke. The stir revealed the lack of understand ing on the part of the public of col elge boys. If one-tenth of the things that college boys discuss and do were viewed seriously, the publie would be on its ears all the time.
