Knight Shows In
South Is Lagging In Education
In one of the principal articles
in the current issue of the Out
look and Independent, Professor
Edgar W. Knight of the school
of education produces evidence
from official records to show
that the states which formed the
Confederacy are far behind in
education, when measured by
national standards, "although
the educational progress of the
south, measured by its own past
record, has been almost phenom -
enal in recent years."
The deficiencies are conspicu
ous, the article shows, in the
amount of educational oppor
tunity now provided by the
southern states, in the prepara
tion of teachers, in the salaries
paid teachers, in the value of
school property, in facilities' for
secondary education, and in
other matters.
The southern states are very
far behind in libraries. The
average per capita circulation
of . public library books is five
times larger in the United States
than in the southern states. In
college libraries the south does
only one-fourth as well as the
country as a whole. Connecti
cut has in its college and univer
sities eight times more books
than North Carolina and twenty

HUMAN RELATIONS
INSTITUTE TO BE
HELD HERE IN 1931
Plans are underway for the
quadrennial meeting of the
human relations institute here
in 1931. The institute was held
here in 1927 under the auspices
of the University and sponsored
by a joint committee picked by
the Y. M. C. A. from students
and faculty. The committee se
lects speakers and arranges the
program for these institutes.
Some of the students who were
here three years ago will prob
ably remember the human rela
tions institute that was held
then under the auspices of the
Y. ; M. C. A. in. March, 1927.
Since this institute is conduct
ed quadrennially, plans are be
ing made for a 1931 meeting.
The institute consists of a
program composed of speakers
from all over the country who
come here and make addresses
on different phases of human
relations. The program is di
vided into three separate divi
sions. The first part is that of in
ternational relations, the second
the industrial relations, and the
third the interracial relations.
The human relations institute
in 1927 lasted for one week, be
ginning on Sunday, March 20,
and closing on Friday, March
25.
Besides delivering addresses
on their subject, many of the
speakers are invited to conduct
seminars during the class period
on subjects pertaining to pro
gram topics.

NIDIBER 76
First
Debate Is To
Be With
Emory University This
Month.
TO MEET GE0RGL4 TECH
Radio Debate Over WPTF To Be
Held With Virginia Early
In ApriL
The present plans of the de
bate council for the winter and
spring quarters call for inter
collegiate debates with approxi
mately seven colleges and uni
versities. Since the same query
will be used for several debates,
the council plans to use only the
following three questions: "Re
solved, that the nations of the
world should adopt a plan of
complete disarmament of all
forces, except those which are
needed for police purposes,"
"Resolved, that modern science,
tends to destroy theistic faith,"
and "Resolved, that the chain
store is detrimental."
The first encounters of the
present quarter will occur when
the Tar Heel debaters meet
Emory and Georgia Tech at
Atlanta late in February. The
question of modern science and
its relation to theistic faith will
be debated on these occasions.
The forensic rivalry between
Carolina and Emory has long
been a keen one. Each institu
tion had won the same number,
of the annual encounters until
Parker and Williams won a
unanimous decision in the Carolina-Emory
debate in 1928. Last
year the contest was cancelled
by Emory.
Early in April (about April
6) the annual Carolina-Virginia
radio debate will ' be broadcast
from Raleigh. The question of
the chain store and its relation
to modern interests will be used.
Last year this radio debate,
which was the first in. the his-
tories of both institutions, was
held in Richmond. The present
agreement between the Univer
sity of North Carolina and the
University of 'Virginia' is; to the
effect that a radio debate be
tween them be held annually
Richmond and some North Caro
lina town (probably Raleigh)
being the scene of the encounter
on alternate years.
Later in the month of April,
there will probably be a dual de
bate with Boston College: that
is, one debate at Chapel Hill and
the other at Boston. .Tentative
arrangements have been made in
this connection which give prom
ise of maturing. In the case of
these encounters the question of
disarmament will be used. ... .
Negotiations are being made
for a debate at Chapel Hill with
an all-California team, the Uni
versity of California, the Uni
versity of Southern California,
and Leland Stanford University
being represented on the team.
Arrangements for this encounter
are as yet tentative and do not
show great promise of maturing.
In the case that this debate is
held the question of modern
science and its relation to theis
tic faith will be the topie of con
troversy. Northwestern University has
agreed to debate Carolina at
Chapel Hill in the latter part of
April. This encounter seems to
be fairly certain at present.
Debates with the following in
stitutions are probable: Univer-
; sity of the South, at Chapel Hill ;
University of Maryland, at Col
lege Park; and Harvard Uni
versity, at Cambridge.
