VOLUME XL
BAGBY TALKS ON
PSYCHOLOGY AND
RELIGIOUS IDEALS
Second of Series of Lectures on
New Phases of Religion
Given Sunday.
Dr. English Bagby, of the
psychology department, spoke
to a large group last Sunday
evening in the Presbyterian
' church on "Some Phases of the
Psychology of Religion." The
talk was one of a series which
-was started by Dean F. F. Brad
shaw. last week, and Dr. Bag
by's remarks were on the same
theme as Dean Bradshaw's.
Mental Deficiencies
In opening Dr Bagby listed
several characteristics causing
mental deficiencies in some oth-
erwise normal oemgs, as given
by Dr. Alfred Adler. These
were lack of social sense, lack
of kindly attitude, lack, of inti
mate social service, and the fact
that they were, very competitive,
self -centered in their attitudes,
and pre-occupied with them
selves. The speaker stressed
that what was needed was less
argument about the truths of
dikion and more constructive
work to improve the world.
Continuing he stated that one
needs more than good inten
tions, more than prayer, al
though prayer provides an im
petus, and that one must use in
telligence to be religious. He
went on to say that what one
doesn't do, and the "thou shalt
nots" thatyoneiikeejjsjiflrom, , dp
not necessarily make good men.
Can't Define Religion
"Manv DeoDle do not know
what religion really is. We f re
quently only have what passes
as religion the 'thou shalt nots
and silly taboos." Dr. Bagby
went on to say that people ought
to get away from the trivial
things and the inadequate frag
mentary ideas of religion, and
do some real social service, which
Is greatly needed. An example
given by the speaker of getting
out and doing some practical
social service was just being
friendly to a friendless student.
Following the, talk the meet
ing was thrown open for discus
sion and quite a number of ques
tions were asked; "Parson" W.
D. Moss will be the speaker at
the meeting next Sunday night
at 7:30.
Graduate Student Is
Chinese School Dean
Student representatives from
foreign colleges are no lpnger a
novelty tp the American univer
sity, but it is still nothing short
of infrequent to find a dean
studying during the winter at
one pf our institutions of
higher education. Carolina may
be justly proud of the fact,
therefore, that Miss Mary T. H.
Kwei, dean of women, at the
Central Chinese college at Wu
chang, China, is taking courses
in the school of educatipn.
Miss Kwei met Prpfesspr
Edgar Wallace Knight pf that
school in China last January.
She became interested in the
work he was doing down here
and decided to rpund put her
educatipnal learning under his
tutelage. Hence, she arrived
here this fall and will study fpr
a masters degree this year and
next summer, as a graduate stu
dent with Prpfesspr Knight.
After cpmpleting her wprk at
the University, Miss Kwei will
return tp her positipn at the
Wuchang cdllege, pf which she
is a graduate. '
A. L C. E. To Hold First
Meeting Of The Year
The Ipcal student branch pf
the American Institute
Chemical Engineers will meet
tpnight at 7:30 in rpom 201 of
Venable hall.
E. O. Bryant, a senior in the
chemical engineering depart
ment, will give a talk on the
Manufacture of Cellophane."
Mr. Bryant was located at the
DuPont cellophane plant this
summer, and his talk should be
of interest to everyone.
The details of the prize con
test that is to be opened by the
national institute will be given
and explained fully. This con
test is open for members of stu
dent chapters only.
Although the local chapter
had a short meeting two wpeks

GRAIL SETS FOUR
DANGESFOR FALL
Extra Event Scheduled Because
of Overcrowding on Spring
Social Program.
The Order of the Grail will
sponsor four dances this fall, ac
cording to the information is
sued yesterday by the society.
mi ii
ne uran nas usually sppn-
spred three dances a quarter,
but members have felt that the
spring term is pvercrowded with
dances and social events and
that an extra dance in the long
er fall quarter would serve the
student body better.
Schedule of Dances
The first dance of the series
this fall was given September
28 and was considered highly
successful. The second event of
the quarter will take place Oc
tober 24, the evening of the
Tennessee-Carolina game. The
third is scheduled for November
7, after the Carolina-Davidson
gave here, and December7 is
the date for the final occasion.

Is a Satire
The play is a satire pn the
pplitics and criminal laws pf
Gay's day. At that time the
English criminal code was in
sore need of reform. The pun
ishment for stealing, ppcket
picking, shpp-lifting, and similar
crimes was hanging. Capital
pffenses were common. " In such
a state of affairs there was
bound to be abuses and graft.
Servants of the law called "in

the people by threatening to
bring them to court. Jail keep

Alumni Basement Is
Stenog's Cold Spot
While the rest of the faculty
and students were sweating and
cussing the heat Monday, the
stenographers in the offices of
the University of North Caro
lina Press were vainly trying to
keep warm.
Until expert testimony on the
subject is available it cannot be
determined whether it is the
copI pf the Alumni building
basement, where the University
Press pffices are located, or the
frigid disppsitipn pf the stenog
raphers, which makes this the
cpplest sppt pn the campus.
But it is true that when a rep
resentative pf The Daily Tar
Heel visited the pffices at high
noon on Monday he discovered
two stenographers sitting in the
full glare of a mammoth elec
tric heater. ""It's a little chilly
down here," pne pf the girls ex
plained. MRS. VAN HECKE GIVES -TEA

Professor W. A. Olsen, debating
coach, explains, "A large part of
the Responsibility of the coach

Professor Olsen also wishes it

freshman's debating with the
varsity in intercollegiate events.,
He calls attention to the fact
that in recent years freshmen
have held squad positions, one
even having debated against Ox
ford in the annual meet three
years ago.
It is probable that the squad
will convene every Thursday
night at the same time in Mur
phey. Man And Wife Are
Killed In Accident
Eric Davis, white, age twenty-
two, was instantly killed Fri
day afternoon about 12 :00 when
the -car which he was driving
left the road. His wife, sister
to Rev. Carr of Chapel Hill, died
at 8:00 o'clock Friday night in
the Duke hospital.
Davis was driving down hill
in a model "T" Ford at a rapid
rate of speed. The car left the
road and turned over in a ditch,
and righted itself again.
Mr. D. B. Waters was the
first persons upon the scene. He
saw the car approaching his
home before the accident oc
cured, and he reported Hhat
Davis, his wife, and baby were
thrown from the car.
Mrs. Davis was found on the
ditch-bank in a semi-conscious
condition. Mr. Davis was found
lying dead in the ditch just
above his wife, and the two
year od baby was' found un
derneath the vehicle, apparently
not hurt.
Dr. Nathan, Orange county
coroner, 'was at once called to
the scene. After an investiga
tion, he found an inquest not
necessary. Davis's body was
turned over to the Hillsboro
Funeral Home, and Mrs. Davis
was rushed to the Duke hospital
where she died later.

DR. BAGBY SPEAKS
TO CHAPEL GROUP
Psychology Department Head
Gives Pointers on How to
Study Effectively.
How to Study" was the topic
upon which Dr. English Bagby,
of the psychology department,
addressed the first and. second
year men in chapel yesterday
morning.
-Commenting briefly on the
two subjects of math "and mod
ern languages, the-speaker said
that if the student would rid
himself of the feeling of tension
on class, and devote more time
to discussion better results
would be obtained.
Anticipate Questions
- Next the psychology profes
sor spoke of a procedure for.
studying history and English.
He stated that in studying these
courses the scholar should be
able to anticipate certain ques
tions which might be asked on
class, and find sufficient answers
to these questions. The speaker
stated that an instructor might
stress things not labeled as im
portant in the text. "The Phi
Beta Kappa man knows what he
will be asked within a narrow
range of what he has studied,"
continued Dr. Bagby. As a bit
of further advice he mentioned
the usefulness of underlining
words and phrases.
Finally Dr. Bagby said that
it was extremely impprtant that
the student make a hasty re
view of underlined matter and
notes before class begins.
