An announcement of consider able intesest is carried in to day's Tar Heel, to the effect that a movement has been started to introduce the study of Esperanto. In order to test the actual interest of the cam pus, a club is being formed which, if successful, may lead to the introduction of regular courses in the new language." Much has been heard of Es peranto in the last few years, but little definite information has been forthcoming. It has been described as the panacea for international ills, which in itself it undoubtedly cannot be. As a means toward that end, however, Esperanto is valuable. International peace meetings and congresses lose much of their effect when carried on in languages unknown or "not un derstood by one or more of the participants. Translations are never entirely satisfactory. The bond of a common language, placing all peoples on equal lin-. gual footing, would do much to 'promote mutual understanding . among nations. Esperanto, it seems, is an ac tive movement. There are or ganizations in all the important nations of the world which are aiding its development. In 'Paris there is an Esperanto Bu reau,' which puts visitors who . cannot speak French but who do understand Esperanto in touch with people who can help them. The new language, according to those who know it, is not like Spanish, or French, or any other language. It is entirely new, and it is especially de signed to do away with the mul titudinous superfluous elements of German, French, English, and other modern languages. The grammar is condensed to an ab solute minimum, and those who know claim that it can be mas tered in the short space of sixty minutes. If this is true, then its popu larity in the university would seem to be assured. Finally adopted as the international language, it would do away with many burnings of midnight oil, endless study of verbs and gen ders, and perhaps, those staring black E's and F's. It all seems too good to be true, , yet the expounders of the , Esperanto doctrine . claim no miracles and are undoubtedly sincere. , With such a picture of a prac tically painless language for the future," the college days of the coming generation should be per ceptibly brightened, and the development of the study of Esperanto here should be more than ordinarily interesting. Mr. Hoover Turns PoIIyanna Herbert Hoover, as president oi tne united states,, ana m keeping with his prosperity out look toward the country, has is sued a Thanksgiving proclama tion. This fact is insignificant in itself since the presidents of the United States from time im memorial have issued such proc lamations. But the language of Hoover's proclamation is inter esting. ' The chief executive of the . . .. country says, "God has greatly blessed us as a nation in the year now drawing to a close. . . . The fruits of industry have been of unexampled ' quantity and value. Both capital and labor have enjoyed n exception al prosperity." - "Both capital and labor have enjoyed exceptional prosperity. It is high treason today to utter a single word against this in vincible prosperity which sweeps all before it. Despite the word of sane economists and the les sons of history, these disciples of the prosperity cult have de termined to proclaim and legis late prosperity. It is needless to say that it can't be done. Any one -in close touch with the economic situation of the country knows that the year coming to a close has been one of the most severe in the decade. Due to the gambling of pros perity crazed bankers, who sought to garner a share of the money being made on Wall Street by sending all available funds to the chief money market, it became more impossible as the year progressed to carry on normal building and expansion in practically every city of the United States. Mr. Hoover has overlooked the numerous bank failures in the South. The president closes his eyes to the true condition of and unrest among the working men of the country. The Gas tonia disturbances might just as well not have ever taken place so far as the president takes any heed of it. Small businesses unable to se cure legitimate loans to tide them over the "hard times" have long been going bankrupt. The amount of advertising carried by nationally circulated magazines is a true indication of the prosperity of the country. The size of practically all these journals has been cut to a mini mum in 1929. Newspapers, themselves, have been conduct ing desperate advertising cam paigns to keep their heads above water. No, Mr. Hoover, these United States are not "enjoying an ex ceptional prosperity." J. E. D. The University Extension Division One of the', greatest depart mental growths of this institu tion in the past several years has taken place in the Extension Division, which serves the pur pose of carrying the University to the people of the state. Those who are responsible for its pres ent usefulness should be accord ed no small measure of credit and acknowledgement. Fortunately the question of whether it is better to educate the several hundred students of the state who come to Chapel Hill than to carry the work of the University to the people of the state is no longer debated by a backward and unprogres sive minority." . Generally speak ing, the masses of North Caro linia's citizenry have, been edu cated beyond such a point of controversy. The Extension Di- vision has proven conclusively that both are simultaneously possible. It has extended its service to the state in the very years when development within the body was nearing its present zenith. These facts have com pletely discredited the idea that the University should confine itself to Chapel Hill. The term University of North Carolina no longer signifies merely an institution located at Chapel Hill in the county of Orange. It rather signifies a progressive spirit of educational circles throughout the : state, large numbers of correspondence students have been enrolled as non-resident students. Yet these individuals are full fledged mem bers of the student body. The role of . .leadership which the University- has filled has been greatly extended, therefore, by the Extension Division. It is now possible for a per son to take the equivalent of a year's work on the Hill, and at the same time hold a job off the Hill. This offers a great oppor tunity to teachers throughout the state, for they can secure degrees from the University that they would not otherwise have time to work for. This is rapidly raising the qualifications of teachers and producing in turn more adequate instruction. Through this medium the Ex tension Division is doing the state a great service. Oftentimes, students are com pelled to drop out of the Uni versity before graduation. Pro visions are now made whereby such students may take corres pondence during their absence from the Hill and re-enter later with enough credits to enable them to graduate at the regular time. We take this opportunity to say a word of praise for the extension division, for we feel that its part in the making of a t "Greater Carolina" is far from negligible. J. C. W. kn joints By H. J. Galland A slight idea of the need for the Carnegie Foundation's re cent report on the over-stimulation of football in the colleges is supplied by our own Tar Heel. In a special box on the front page is a notice in bold-face type about the attempts in South Carolina to work the Gamecocjcs up to fighting pitch by misquot ing University News Bureau despatches, and by other means. . "All this," says the notice, "is an obvious attempt to work the South Carolinians up for the game. A victory over the North Carolina team would boost South Carolina considerably in the Conference. A win for the Tar Heels is almost necessary as there is no reason for a loss." All this, too, is typical of the way football is thought of now adays in most colleges, and, we think, all this is rather childish. ' Isn't it possible to play foot ball for the sake of the game, and isn't it enough for the Tar Heels to win in order to make it a good game, rather than be cause "there is no reason for a loss." Ours may be a voice in the wilderness, and undoubtedly is, but (we whisper) shouldn't a little of the modern hysteria be removed from the game, and isn't (don't say.it aloud), the Carnegie Foundation making a step in that direction? i Another box in the Tar Heel proclaims the need for ' signa tures on letters intended to be published in the Reader's Opin ions. Column. In this case it seems that a girl failed to sign, and so her letter could not be published until the editor was informed of "the correct initials and address of the anonymous writer." And don't ever again say a compositor hasn't a sense of humor. Business at Spencer hall on Saturday night is, we hear, rushing. And we should worry what you think its original with us. The latest campus racket is revealed by the notice board at the Y. There a neat card in forms the world that a rumble seat in a Ford coupe is for rent for a trip to Greensboro. And what's more, the offer was ac cepted. Obviously, the gentle man with the Ford coupe is a racketeer, and we confidently ex pect him to line up everybody going to Durham with an empty seat, charge for it, and split with the owner of the car. ' The Playmakers should be blossoming under . a veritable sun of attention and praise. In stead of one reviewer, as in the 'past, there are now two, and in stead of slams and brickbats, also a. i. t. p., there are now nice fragrant bouquets. Shades of Joe Mitchell! And now its Esperanto in one hour John, chuck that German grammar out the window, please. N. C. State Dramatic Club Elects Leaders Raleigh, Noc. 10.
