Tuesday, February 3, 1931 Profits of The Spirit Someone remarked that' the real value of an education be came apparent during times of depressions for it enables peo ple to converse on a high cul tural plane while standing in a bread line. Consideration of that .statement in a serious light we are likely to discover that there is more truth than poetry in it. . -. Conditions, have become acute. The .legislative branches of both Federal and State gov ernments are seriously concern ed with the welfare of the peo- A t it pie. a . survey oi. tne newspa pers and Red Cross reports causes us to realize the full force of the economic - depres sion which has enveloped prac tically every section of the Uni ted States. Serious considera tion is being given the proposal to establish what amounts to a dole system in certain parts of the country. Now we may consider just what an education means to one, for both the educated and un educated alike are affected. Conversing on high cultural planes while standing in bread lines may not be literally true, but education is preventing the depression from undermining our institutions and making possible conditions which usu ally follow periods of stress in countries where the' masses are ' largely uneducated. We still retain faith in our institutions, and we are yet to seek to alle viate suffering by turning to anarchism. - - Those in authority are able to plan relief after consideration instead of being forced to act under threat of revolt. And whether standing in bread lines of scraping the bottom of the flour barrel we discover that conditions do not warrant des perate action. About The Red Cross The country is in rather a strange position at present as to its inhabitants and its eco nomic position. Grain elevators all over the middle west are filled to capacity and all around them fanners are wanting, food for their children. Cotton is very much "overproduced," and yet people in a number of these states of ours are very much in need of clothing The House re cently appropriated $45,000,000 for farm relief so that "the farmers can buy fodder for their stock, but cannot buy food for their families." . . " Even after Congress passed the bill for the farm relief, they are halting in their efforts to put through a bill to help the Red Cross in their work to save lives all over the nation. An appropriation of 25,000,000 is being halted over and thought about more than entrance into a. war. Meanwhile letters are being sent out to the more wealthy citizens of the nation for contributions to bridge the gap that Congress refuses to fill. The Red Cross in some meas ure of desperation has had to start a nation-wide campaign for contributions. Every bit of help which we are able to offer should be forthcoming willingly. Every student should give something or at least make one of his weekly show attendances be on this coming Sunday, the benefit from which performance goes to the Red Cross. Since the Red Cross is being put off by our legislative body, we, as citizens, should give willingly to make possible the existence of thousands of fel low citizens who are suffering to an unbelievable extent in our United States. O. W. D. God's Own Gentleman He isn't on the football team; he can't box or wrestle or run. Clean living has made him healthy enough, but the body God gave him is mediocre, helplessly and hopelessly medi ocre. On class he is a C man, con sistently a C man. He studies hard enough, but the mind God gave him, like the body God gave him, is mediocre; helpless--ly and hopelessly-mediocre. But the spirit God' gave him makes up for it all. It's decent and fine and generous. Of course he's human, and it's human to love the limelights, the applause of the multitude, the feeling of being able to ex cel in at least something. And so, since he is human, there are times when utter weariness and helplessness and hopelessness come over his soul. But only he ever knows of it. He laughs aloud, but like a' well-bred ani mal he suffers in silence. And he goes on his colorless way in patience, if not in joy. He admires and likes, and all without a touch of envy, those who can do what he can't do. He takes such part in the schol astic and campus activities as his capacity permits. He asks no applause, expects none and gets none. But he's the stabiliz ing influence of it all. He's the background of the picture, but without the background the pic ture would lose half its beauty. There are a good many of him; the pity of it is that there aren't more. Mentally and physically he's mediocre, helplessly and hope lessly mediocre. But in spirit he's one of God's own gentle men. V. A. D. Graham To Address P. TV A. President Frank ; Graham is to speak before the Parent Teachers' Association of Greens boro tonight. This speech will be the last for some time as Presi dent Graham intends to rest af ter his recent illness. With Contemporaries The Senate Opposes ' ' Although the senate opposi tion forces have been defeated on several occasions, they have again seized upon an item that is almost rivial and with much talk about "humanity" in gen eral, they have determined to create appropriations for fed eral relief work in several mid west states, particularly since the refusal of the Red Cross to accept the administration of a $25,000,000 fund. . But behind all this talk of "human suffering," there is a still very distinct threat of fili bustering and holding up the appropriations bills until such relief agencies shall have been formulated. There may be some grounds for such speeches as that of Sen ator Joseph T. Robinson who asked "that senators with a spark of humanity repudiate this policy, that no action whatever shall be taken in this time of national distress," but it sounds more like the minister who, when he could not think of any thing to say, just shouted. Senator Robinson's argument is merely that the $10,000,000 fund which is being raised by public donation is not nearly, sufficient for the tremendous amount of work which must be done along relief lines. These arguments would seem rather foolish when one consid ers that, probably more than any other organization in the country today, the Red Cross is in first hand contact with local conditions. Who, other than such an organization, is able properly to judge the expendi tures which must be made for relief? Certainly not a United States senator , even though he may come from one of the states critically endangered by the drought and business crisis. The people of the United States have responded gener ously to the appeal of the Red Cross and this organization, in close contact with conditions in the drought areas, has estimat ed that $10,000,000 will be suf ficient. It would be more expe dient to let the Red Cross han dle its own job, confident that it has enough funds to complete the task, and for the Senate to settle down instead to, getting out of the way some of the mul titude of legislation that is really needed before the ad journment of the" Congress on March 4.
