Addresses Delivered Before Or

lected by Dr. Schwenning.
, Dr. G. T. Schwenning, as
sociate professor of business
administration, has recently
published a book containing ad-
dresses on industrial issues.
which were made before the lo-j
cal student branch of the Taylor
Society by specialists on the sub
jects. The collection includes
all those made last year
before the Taylor society and one
by Bernard M. Cone, president
of the Proximity Manufacturing
company of Greensboro, North
Carolina.
The material which .this book
contains is considered useful to
students of commerce and to ex
ecutives as well, since it takes up
the most recent and most im
portant problems in the indus
trial world. The subject matter
of the publication shows that
the South is recognizing and in
quiring into the present eco
nomic problems. -
The addresses which were
made here last year gave per
sonal opinions of the speakers
and many valuable ideas are
advanced and are divided into
three groups. ,
The first section is composed
of three lectures on the textile
problems. The first by Henry P.
Kendall, president of the Ken
dall company, Boston, Mass., and
president- of the Taylor Society,'
is entitled "How One Manage
ment Has Met Problems of the
Textile Industry," in which he
outlined the solving of problems
confronting his company. Ber
nard M. Cone, of Greensboro,
outlined a number of the most
common textile problems in his
address on "Some of the Pre
sent Day Problems in the Tex
tile Industry." The last address
in this group was "Management
Problems in the Cotton Textile
Industry," made by Dr. C. T.
Murchison, professor of applied
economics here.
The second group, on person
nel problems, contains only two
addresses, both by University
professors. Dr. Harry D. Wolf,

History Teacher Is
Dismissed Because
Of Pacific Beliefs
Malcolm M. Young, student of
the University, and former
speaker pro-tem of the Phi As
sembly, was dismissed from his
position as history teacher in one
of the Washington, D. C. high
schools because of his beliefs in
pacifism, it was reported yes
terday.
Young graduated from the
University in 1926. During his
four years study here, he took
an active part i'n debating, and
at one time was winner of the
Mary D. Wright debate medal.
The principal of the ' jMcKin
ley high school,-from which the
history professor was dismissed,
agreed with Young in that the
latter has in no way "propa
gandized" the school in favor of
Pacifism, as he was accused. It
was admitted by the former
University student, however,
that he did at one time mention
the fact that he favored the
League of Nations, and stated
his desire that theUn.ited States
would enter. v
Young is at present seeking
support of members of Congress
in his appeal tor reinstatement,

Coker And Biology
Class Visit Lakes
Dr. R. E. Coker, of the zoo-
Idgy department, and his hydro
biology class visited White and
Black 'lakes in Bladen county
last Saturday for the purpose of
making a study of biological
conditions in these waters and
of collecting some microscopic
animal life there.
The two lakes are among the
most interesting natural fea
tures of North Carolina Black
Lake covers about three square
miles with waters so darkly
stained that the bottom cannot
be seen at a depth, of two feet.
White Lake offers a very sharp
contrast, having waters so cry
stal clear that one can see a pin
on the bottom at a depth of eight
or ten feet, it is like a large
spring without considerable in
let or outlet, and covers an area
of about ane and one half square
miles. Certain forms of micro
scopic life have been found in
White Lake that have not been
discovered in other North Caro
lina waters. . . '

Einstein Gives Views On Modern
Educational Ideas And Methods
Albert Einstein, one of Shaw's i
eight greatest men of all times,!
states in an interview in the
Boston Traveler, "In nine cases
out of ten the teacher is at fault
when a child is not progressing
in his education as he should."
The father of relativity is well
known as a teacher himself and
can say this with experience at
his command.
Going on, he declares, "Only
he can be a teacher who can
teach interestingly, who can pre
sent his material, even though
it be an abstract subject, in such
a manner as to awaken a reson
ance in the soul of his pupil and
keep alive his curiosity.
"The trouble' today is that
children are fed up with defini
tions instead of being introduced
to tangible things."
Despite his exceedingly com
plicated theories of the laws of
nature, the man explains in an
amazingly clear way his ideas on
modern educational methods. He
remarks that final or entrance
examinations are1 "no real test
of knowledge."
"For a few hours the students
are forced 'to exert their minds
m an unusual, artificial manner,
only to forget almost immediate
ly most of what they studied onJ
this special occasion.
"I should admit to the univer
sity any pupil whom his teach
er, having observed him over a
period of years, will recommend
as fit." "V v, " : -::;v: '
Concerning ; physics, Einstein
believes its study should begin
wholly with experiments. :S f
"A pretty experiment," he
says, "is intrinsically more valu
able, often, than " 20 formulae
evolved by the Drain. Formulae
in physics, at least in the early
periods of study, are as terri
fying as dates are in the study
of history.
"In short," he continues, "the
salvation of our schools lies in
more demonstration. The thing
that is to be learned must be ex
perienced." He recommends
films as a good means of carry-
Shakespeare Latest On Roll Of
University's Distinguished Alumni
, By Anna Nuther'
A few days ago three negroes,
working in one of the .numerous
fraternity houses on the cam
pus, were over-heard in their
conversation. Standing near
the industrious blacks was a
statue of the ever famous dra
matist, Shakespeare.
"I'se heard whole heaps 'bout
dat 'air man tha", one of the
darkies proudly exclaimed,
thinking that he was" far super
ior in intelligence to his two
comrades.
The second, not to be outdone
by the intellect of his companion
proclaimed with a disgusted
air, "Nigger, you don't kno' who
dis here man wuz, and ah'll bet
you a nickle you can't explick
ate who he is."
This bold statement . of the
truth of the matter was too
much for the first speaker. He,
of course, did not .have the
slightest idea who the statue re
presented, nor, as a matter, of
fact, did he really care. But he
did not let on in the least to his
fellow workers that he was ig
norant of this matter ; instead,
he continued more , knowingly
than ever. .
' "Boy, you'se ought to be ash
amed (accenting the "ash") of
yo'sef, 'sinuatin' like" ah don't
ing this out.
History is regarded by
Ein
stein as "unnecessary ballast."
"I don't regard it as a mishap
if a pupil never learns anything
about Alexander the Great, nor
of dozens of other conquerors,"
he says.
"If you insist upon delving in
to the ancient past, then please
the student from Cyrus, Artax-;
erxes, and Vercmgetorix and
tell him something about the ex
ponents of culture, such as Ar
chimedes, Ptolemaeus, Heron,
Appollonius of discoverers and
explorers." w'
. Politics should not be taught,
because, he says, impartial
teaching is almost impossible j
when teachers are economically
dependent upon the state "or
board from which they draw
their pay.
He maintains that a diploma
should not be given until a stu
dent could qualify as a carpen
ter, bricklayer, locksmith, or
other skilled artisan.
This, he says, is important,
"both because of the intrinsic
value of learning a trade and be
cause it makes the educated
man feel that he belongs with
the broad masses of the people.
"To learn a trade means for
a student to broaden the foun
dation upon which he rests as a
moral personality.
"School is to develop, first of
all, the man, the character and
not merely his brains." ;
When questioned about wheth
er .women should enjoy the ad
vantages of higher education, he
remarked, "All roads to learning
should be opened to women, but
nobody should blame me ifvl am
somewhat skeptical about pos
sible results.
"I am thinking about certain
obstacles in the female organism
which were put there by nature,
and which stand in the way of
our applying the same standards
as with the men. The case of
Mme. Curie (discoverer of ra
dium) is merely an exception to
the rule." The Tech.
kno' what , ah'se tellin'. Why
ah'se heard mo' 'bout dis here
man than would ; fill a whole
book. You'se jes lettin''on lik'
ah'se ben lying." "
"Yas 'ir" put in the third
worker, "ah'se heard lots 'bout
that statue. Come to think uf
it what wuz his name?"
After a brief pause, the first
darkie, not desiring to disclose
the fact that he did. not know
who the man was, .thought he
would break the silence. Ad
dressing the second Negro, he
said, "Well, ef you'se don't kno'
his name, you can't even 'splain
when he wuz in school here."
"... "You'se crazy, Nigger," ex
claimed the second, "why he
corned to larn here bout fifty
years 'go, didn't he," he asked,
turning to the third black who,
a little older than his two pals,
had been listening intently to
the conversation.
When the old servant had
made clear the- fact that' the
man had come to the University
some fifty years ago, saying he
knew for certain, "'cuz, ah wait
ed on him, ah did," the first
speaker immediately fell into a
dead silence. - With bowed head,
he continued his work, much
outdone 'by the fact that his
companions knew as much about
the man as he did.
BILLY ARTHUR ON
CHAPEL PROGRAM
Cheerleader Optimistic Over Cheering
At Duke Game.
S Billy Arthur, head cheerleader
spoke to the sophomore chapel
group yesterday about the recent
tendency of the students in not
cheering at the games. He asked
the sophomores to get down af
ter the freshmen and make that
class yell. He said that even if
the cheering at the last few
games has been, rotten, he was
expecting to have one of the best
cheering sections in years at the
Duke game.
After Arthur's short talk7he
led the gnoup in singing and in
several yells.
PAPER'S DEFICIT
TO BE SMALLER
Board Treasurer Expects Tar
Heel, Buccaneer, and Yackety
Yack to Take Small Loss
Basing his predictions on the
reports of the various publica
tions for last session and on the
financial standings of these pub
lications 1 thus far in the present
year, J.; M. Lear, faculty mem
ber and treasurer of the Publi
cations Union board, has pre
pared a business prospectus for
the Daily Tar Heel, Carolina
Magazine and ' Buccaneer for
1930-31. It is yet too soon to
make any close approximation
of the probable outcome of the
Yackety Yack's finances this
session. Last spring the amount
which the yearbook formerly re
ceived from student publication
fees was cut fifteen cents by the
Publications Union board, ? this
money being diverted to more
needy and less profitable publi
cations. But with a more favor
able printing contract this year,
it will, no doubt, come out with
a profit as it did last session,
says Mr. Lear.
The Tar Heel and Magazine
deficit last year was $4896. If the
advertising is kept up to the
average maintained since the re
sumption of publication in Sep
tember, the total for the session
will be $100 less than last year.
However, the income from sub
scriptions will run around $3550
more, it is estimated. The cost
of delivery will be about $240
less than last year and the cut
in salaries will amount to $450.
If these estimates, made by
Mr. Lear, prove correct, the
deficit for the year will be in the
neighborhood of $450 as" com
pared to an amount over $4000
for last year.
Last year the Buccaneer lost
$629. Its revenue has also been.
cut fifteen cents. But provided
that the volume of its advertis
ing continues good,as it has.
been in the' first two issues, a
gain of $640 will be made over
last session; the engraving con
tract is more favorable than last
year; and the printing bill will
probably run about the same.
, The auHits of the various pub
lications for last year, which ap
peared m . Thursday s paper,
were prepared by the Rogerson-
Peacock Company. One item in
the report of the Daily Tar Heel
read "Bad Debts $600." This
might be . misinterpreted to
mean uncollected 'debts; as a
matter of fact, that amount is
merely a reserve to take care of
any such debts.
The infirmary list for yester
day included R. P. Hurley,
John Bullock, Peter Gilchrist,
Dan Powell, "Jr., J. E. Jaffee,
Phillip Sasser, William Bynum,

MAYOR APPOINTS
COMMITTEE FOR
THE UNEMPLOYED
Mayor Zeb Council has re
cently formed an emergency
committee on the unemployment
question. This committee com
posed of Howard W. Odum
(chairman), Bruce Strowd (se
cretary), Marvin Utley (treas
urer), Mrs. A. M. Jordan, and
Miss Harriet Herring will meet
for the first time in the next few
days to discuss the problem of
finding jobs for the unemployed
of the town.
Mr. Strowd has already set up
an amateur employment agency
in his garage, and work has been
procured for six of the thirty
eight, men on his list. Some of
these already have part-time
jobs, and preference is being
given to those with no work
whatever, many of whom ate
really without the necessities of
life. Townspeople needing help,
if only for a few hours, are re
quested to let Mr. Strowd know.
