Daily Tar Heel To Start
Fund For -Relief Of: Poor
In Grange County Tomorrow
Dr. L. M. Brooks Is Treasurer
Of Fund And Contributions
Should Be Mailed To Him.
MUCH SUFFERING EXISTS
George Lawrence, Director Of
Welfare Work, To Distribute
Food And Clothing To Needy.
A "Campus Relief Fund" For
Orange County Poor" will be
conducted through the far Heel
beginning with tomorrow's is
sue. Names of contributors will
be published every day in the
Tar Heel, and the contributions
will be turned in to a committee
composed of Louis Graves, edi
tor of the Chapel Hill Weekly,
Dr. L. M. Brooks, of the sociolo
gy "department, Harry Comer,
executive secretary of the Y. M.
C. A., Ellis Fysal, varsity foot
ball player, and Robert Hodges,
assistant editor of the Tar Heel.
Dr. Brooks is treasurer of the
fund, and all contributions
should be mailed to him through
P. O. Box 747 or the Alumni
building, mailed directly to the
"Campus Relief Fund for
Orange County Poor," Tar Heel
office, or turned over personally
to one of the members of the
committee.
All contributions go to George
Lawrence, director of welfare
work in this section. Mr. Law
rence emphasises the dire need
prevailing, and relates a number
of cases revealing jtnisery and
want. He tells of a widow and
her four daughters living in a
remote section of Orange coun
ty whom he found on the verge
of starvation, having no food in
the house and no money with
which to obtain any. One of
the daughters was able to work
but could find nothing: to do.
and the few widely separated
neighbors were in too desperate
straits themselves to be of any
assistance. Another case Mr.
Lawrence has had to contend
with is that of a negro family
composed of the parents and
eight children. The man was a
tenant farmer whose crop had
failed, and his search for other
employment had been fruitless ;
no work was available. The en
tire family had for some time
been existing on a green root
known as "creases," quantities
of which they picked in the
fields. These frequent cases of
desperate want encountered af
ford at times examples of actual
starvation, as in those inci
dents related. Mr. Lawrence
estimates there are 25 cases de
manding relief.

STONE ADDRESSES
SOPHS AT CHAPEL
Discusses Four-Sided Nature Of
Man; Is President Chicago
Theological Seminary.
Dr. John : Timothy Stone,
president of Chicago Theological
Seminary, spoke in chapel yes
terday morning, addressing the
sophomores on the four-sided
nature of man as related to uni
versity training. Dr. Stone was
introduced by Rev. D. H. Scan
Ion, pastor of the First Presby
terian church of Durham. His
talk was preceded by speeches
and addresses delivered at vari
ous schools over the country in
the past month.
Taking the familiar divisions
of man's nature, the physical,
mental, moral and spiritual
sides, Dr. Stone discussed brief
ly the steps taken by modern
educational policies to develop
each of these in the student. He
spoke more extendedly, however,
on the spiritual development of
the student, showing how this
phase has suffered by new trends
in education.
Any school that holds its own
today, the speaker said, is lay
ing proper emphasis on physical
training, both through intercol
legiate and intramural activities.
He pointed out also that, as-the
result of well-directed efforts,
intellectual standards are every
where being upheld. Moral
standards,- too, he observed, are
being supported and their im
portance rightly recognized by
students. -
According to Dr. Stone, the
modern university is failing to
recognize the necessity for spir
itual training. This he holds no
less important than the other
phases of man's development.
In a complete system of training
the spiritual and inspirational
element must be recognized, Dr.
Stone declared.
He told his hearers that as
students their demands would
lareelv control the situation.
Believing strongly in undergrad
uate influence, Dr. Stone thinks
there is more truth in the state
ment that "the man makes the
nniversitv" than in that "the
university makes the man."

University Professor Draws
Attention Of Famous Critics
Through Humanist Movement
-o-
The recent announcement of
Dr. Chase's resignation caused
a temporary centering of atten
tion upon the University by the
press of the nation. Another
member of the faculty, Profes
sor Norman Foerster, is now
being discussed in all parts of
the country by the many who are
observing the growth of what
has been called the "new"
Humanist movement.
Mr. Foerster, whom the New
Republic termed the "leading
disciple of Professor Babbitt,"
has recently edited a series of
essays on the outlook of modern
civilization. The title of the
book is Humanism and America
and is published ,by Farrar and
Rhinehardt. The New York
Times says the following of the
book: "This summing up of a
group credo, the credo of a band
of critics in America who are
determined upon pre-empting
the title "humanist" for them
selves, comes at a very oppor
tune moment, for the winds of
doctrine in criticism have been
chasing themselves wildly over
the cultural landscape for more
than a year now, and it is time
for a little clarity. . . ."
That sentence referred ' to the
more or less violent controversy
DEBATERS WILL ,
GO TO ATLANTA
FOR TWO MEETS
Fleming-Jones And Speight In
Emory Contest; Williams And
' Wilkinson With Tech Team.
Two varsity debate teams
composed of J. C. Williams and
J. A. Wilkinson, W. W. Speight
and McB. Fleming-Jones leave
tonight for Atlanta, where they
will meet Emory University and
Georgia Tech on "Resolved, That
modern science tends to destroy
theistic faith." Speight and
Fleming-Jones will engage the
Emory debaters tomorrow
night ; Williams . and Wilkinson
will tackle the Tech team Thurs
day night. In both encounters
the University's representatives
will uphold the affirmative side
of the question.
.The question of modern sci
ence and its relation to religion
is a very pertinent one at pres
ent. Church authorities through
out the nation have been alarmed
by the phenomenal advances of
science in recent years. Reli
gious leaders, of the present
generation are attempting to ex
plain the religious indifference
of the civilized world in terms
of this great scientific advance
ment, alleging that science has
invaded the field of religion and
sapped it of its power and ap
peal. An interesting sidelight
of the Emory-Carolina debate is
the fact that Emory is a staunch
church school, while the Univer-J
sity is considered a stronghold
of liberal thought. For a num
ber of years Emory has been a
forensic opponent of the Tar
Heel University, and all of the
contests have been hotly fought
(Carolina has a margin of one
victory in the series at present) .
Georgia Tech,' whose debaters
rank high in intercollegiate cir
cles, is another old foe of the
Tar Heels. The rivalry exist
ing between the three institu
tions is so keen that they could
not agree to no-decision debates,
. (Continued on page three)
that has been going on in the
magazines of the Bookman and
Hound and Horn type in which
those writers who defend the
attitude of the Humanists in de
siring to see impressionism re
moved from literary criticism at
tack their opponents. Besides
the prime leaders of the Human
ists, some of whom are Norman
Foerster, Paul Elmer More and
Irving Babbitt, there are many
less-known men who neverthe
less are carrying on the war of
the Humanists against the Anti
Humanists. Some of the latter
are Seward Collins, Robert
Shafer, Frank Jewett Mather,
Jr., Gorham Munson and others
The New Republic and the
Nation have assumed a laughing
attitude unon the subject. In a
recent issue of the former maga
zine, a writer characterized the
new Humanists as agreeing that
literary creation is dead and
that the differences tnat are
splitting the Humanists are ones
concerning the question of when
literary creation died. Quoting
from the magazine : "Professor
Babbitt himself rejects prac
tically every writer since Rous
seau, but he finds life in Milton

Joint Session Listens To Reports
Of Delegates And Standing
Committees.
A joint meeting of the three
Y cabinets was held. last night
at the time of the usual weekly
meetings. After the program

team's trip to Fayetteville over
the week-end. Grady Leonard

count, of the state Y conference

week. He told something of the
work that was done by the Y
among the negro scnoois ana
colleges in this state.
Ed Hamer, treasurer of the
Y, delivered a report of the
treasury stating that as yet some
of the prospective pledges were
still unpaid. Reporting . as
chairman of the discussion com
mittee, he further stated that
meetings had been held lately
in one of the dormitories on the
campus, and that it was hoped
that this group discussion could
be extended later into every dor
mitory on the campus. He urged
that the cabinet members who
were interested in this . work
take more interest than had
been shown in the past.
Giving a report of the work
of the sophomore cabinet for the
past year, J. Elwin Dungan,
president of that cabinet, stated
that up to the present 13 speak
ers had been on the program of
the sophomore cabinet. Accord
ing to him, it is the plan of the
cabinet to bring in state Y rep
resentatives from some of the
colleges of the state with the

leeriate relations, which the Di
and Phi literary societies are
sponsoring. ;
A report of the freshman cab

Unique Decorations To Be
Carried Out; Stag Tickets To
Engineers Only.
The fourth annual Engineers'
Dance, which is sponsored by
the three engineering societies,
will be held next Friday even
ing at the Carolina Inn with the
Carolina Buccaneers furnishing
the music.
Advance reports say that the
decorations at this dance are to
be something quite unique and
that there will be some very
original lighting effects carried
out during the evening.
Already many girls have in
dicated their desire to attend
the affair, which in years past
has proven very successful, and
with the usual crowd will be up
for the Grail dance the follow
ing night, it is expected that
there will be no lack of the fem
inine touch at the dance.
Members of the Engineering
faculty and their wives will
serve as chaperones at the dance.
Some of those who will serve
in this capacity are Dean and
Mrs. Braune, Professor and
Mrs. J E. Lear, Professor and
Mrs. E. G. Hoefer, Professor and
Mrs. H. G. Baity, and Professor
and Mrs. Trimble.
As has been the. custom at
the engineers' dances in the
past, stag tickets will be sold to
engineers only, but others may
get tickets which entitle them
to admission if they bring girls.
Tickets may be obtained from
the dance committee which con
sists of J. J. .Alexander, W. B.
White, D. A. Nims, E. R. Davis,
J. B. Pittana, Charles Waddell,
'Chuck' Erickson, Charles West,
and J. P. Scurlock. They are
also on sale in all three of the
senior engineering rooms.
' All in all, with the advance
reports that are coming from
the engineers over in Phillips
hall, this affair should prove
very enjoyable, for it is proverb
ial tradition that when the en
gineers do get dressed up, they
put things over in fine style.
NATHAN CONDUCTS
PROBE CONCERNING
DEATH OF INFANT
Who murdered Richard Har
vey, the 15-month old son of
19-year-old, petite Nellie Har
vey, colored Chapel Hill servant
girl?
This question occupied the at
tention of Coroner S. A. Nathan
and his jury, together with
more than a score of witnesses,
from early Sunday afternoon to
eleven o'clock at night. The
jury decided that little Richard
"came to his death by foul
means, through the administer
ing of poinson at the hands of
an unknown person."
Nellie lives with Eliza Neville,
nee Eliza Lane, 35, estranged
wife of Ped Neville, near the
"Tintop Alley" section of Carr
boro. She claims that Luther
Hargraves, Jr. is the father of
her child, that he "done promise
he'd help keep up dat chile,"
and says she loved it. But on
the night of the murder she
was 6utk with James Hargravesr
distantly related to Luther, who,
she says "is man frien now, an

About seven o'clock Saturday
evening young Luther Brewer,
friend of the family, decided he
would repair an ancient phono
