E C. HAS THIRD
HIGHEST NUFiIBER
OF ILLITERATES
Dr. H. S. Hobbs Points Out High
Ratio of Uneducated Whites
And Negroes.
According to the latest statis
tics of Dr. S. H. Hobbs, Jr., de
partment of rural-social econom
ics, North Carolina ranks third
highest in the United States in
the ratio of its native white il
literacy, and, Dr. Hobbs further
points out, in spite of our negro
school system to which our so
cial workers point with pride,
only four states have a propor
tion of negro illiteracy higher
than North Carolina. In round
figures there are approximately
236.000 Dersons in this state
j - - - a.
over the age of ten who can
neither read nor write, which is
one-tenth of our entire popula
tion. Condition Deplorable
This condition of illiteracy is
even more deplorable since, al
though there are two states
with higher ratios than North
Carolina, one of these is New
Mexico whose proportion is in
fluenced bv the great mass of
native Mexicans left in the ter
ritory when it was taken over
by the United States. The oth
er state is Louisiana. It is the
south which seems to take the
lead in the proportion of native
wniTQ l lToranv in 1 m f 1 n i hs
111 J 1111 tVi. Vf rwW vwi
Dr. Hobbs, "the south is the on
ly place where the ratio of na
tive white illiterates is high.
Nearlv seventy-five percent of
all the native white illiterates
are in the south."
Whites Below Negroes
While the situation is not as
serious among the , negroes as
among the native whites, still
it presents quite a problem to
the social workers of the state.
Ranking fourth in the United
States, North Carolina has
41,000 more illiterate negroes
than there are in the United
States, excluding the south. Dr.
Hobbs estimates that ninety
four percent of all illiterate ne
groes are in the south. A dis
tressing fact about illiterates,
both in the white and negro
races, is that over eighty-five
percent'of them are of the vot
ing age and probably do vote.
North Carolina has a commis
sion on illiteracy which was ap
pointed by the governor to in
vestigate and attempt to reduce
illiteracy in this state. The
commission has a fertile field,
but nothing can be done until
the interest of the general pub
lic is aroused.
Dr.. Hobbs has been connect
ed with the University, investi
gating the rural social problems
of the state for the past sixteen
years. He is now studying th
economic situation in the , south
and has just left to attend, the
southeastern conference rat Sar

and Dean Baity, both of . the

apparently misjudged the hesi
tancy of the Carolinians, and
one of them very rudely shoved
a native. The Carolinian struck
back in the old Tar Heel fash
ion -and bedlum immediately
broke loose.
How long the scrap lasted; no
one seems to know. Some aver
that it was only a few minutes,
but the participants claim that it
lasted at least an hour. Be that
as it may, the Georgians were
routed. .
It is rumored that the de

Modern New York City from
the pleasure haunts of the rich,
to the hide-outs of criminals of
less fortunate worldly endow
ment, as dramatized in the Para
mount picture, "24 Hours," play
ing tomorrow at the Carolina
theatre, is familiar territory to
Louis Weitzenkorn, who made
the screen adaption from the
Louis Bromfield novel.
In "Five Star Final," which
heads the bill Tuesday, Edward
G. Robinson creates a new role
which critics are acclaiming the
top notch performance of his
meteoric creen career.
J oan Crawford, supported by
the distinguished Pauline Fred
erick, who has not been on the
screen in some time, will be seen
Wednesday in her latest picture,
"This Modern Age," adapted
from the Mildred Cram novel,
Girls Together.
A tender and intriguing love

day a week of attractions at the

based on actual fact in an odd
case in New York police annals,
has a note of authenticity which
makes it more realistic than that

Mary Brian, who for six years
has been Paramount's saccharine

search of sophistication.
Sidney Fox never goes onto
the stage or onto a set without
wearing a piece of carved j ade.
Genevieve Tobin, another Uni

because she fears bad luck in that
color.
Kay Francis introduced a new
one the other day at Malibu

which had zipper fastenings on
the rear of the trousers.
Bill. Haines is an example of
how a young chap can make good
in pictures without having pre

. Clark Gable has some of the
qualities that made Valentino
the one great idol of the screen.
But it is doubtful if he will ever
approach the unprecedented

THE DAILY
Tar Heel Transfer
Paints Rosy Picture
Of Former School
The following is an excerpt
from the Daily Texan, Univer
sity of Texas student newspaper
which comments on out of state
universities and especially the
University of North Carolina
thus :
"Someone as speaking of the
f out of state universities and Har-
rv Covington, a transfer from
North Carolina university, step
ped in and represented his form-
er prison, narry says tnat mere
are only 400 girls registered in
the school as compared with
nearly 3500 men. Imagine the
popularity of those girls ! That's
a real "400" for you.
"Harry says that a student in
that university does not have to
go to classes unless he desires.
It is purely a matter of personal
opinion, and he says that the ex
ams are pretty terrible affairs,
but even at that) he admits that
Texas is a little harder scholas
tically. "He says that everybody leaves
the school forthe week-ends on
Thursday and return on Monday
too tired to go to classes. On
the ordinary calendar that would
leave Tuesday and Wednesday
for class work. There is the col
lege life you read about! Any
way, Harry says he likes Texas a
lot Jbetter than North Carolina.
And does Texas like Harry!"

souls in it amount by the enum
eration to about 1000, but it is
agreed on all hands that the
census in this state has been
very inaccurately and shamefully
taken by the Marshall's depu
ties. .. . "
"If these diaries are to be tak
en as evidence," writes Dr. Hen
derson, "Washington was an ex
tra vert. He never unpacked his"
soul in a journal and committed
to the revealing pages of a diary
a record of his thoughts and
emotions . . . He meticulously
records only the most interesting
of external events. Ocassionally
he indulges in observations . . . "
However, Washington does re
veal little flashes of dry humor
occasionally in his journals. The
account of his escape from an
unwelcome escort is typical of
these: "Having suffered very
much by the dust yesterday, and
finding that parties of Horse,
and a number of other Gentle
men were intending to attend
me part of the way. today, I
caused their enquiries respecting
the time of my setting out, to
be r answered that, I should en
deavor to do it before eight
o'clock ; but I did it a little after
five, by which means I avoided
the inconveniences above men
tioned."

TAR HEEL
PURDUE COMPILES
STATISTICAL DATA
In a pamphlet entitled "A
Study of the Class Entering
Purdue in 1926" Dr. H. H. Rem
mers and J. M. Stalnaker, both
of the department of education
at Purdue, have compiled statis
tics for the purpose of determin
ing the extent to which various
factors enter into the success or
failure of college students.
After studying the activities
of the members of the class of
1930 from their entrance to
graduation, certain conclusions
were reached. It was shown
that there is a close relation be
tween a student's score on the
psychological test and his col
lege grades ; that the younger
students are brighter and more
persistent than the older ones;
that students who live in cities
are slightly superior to those
who do not; that students who
come to college from large
schools secure a higher average
psychological test, are prominent
in activities, and make better
grades than those from small
schools; that the school of chem
ical engineering rates higher,
scholastically, than any other
university school, and that the
women at Purdue make much
better grades than the men.
This pamphlet is the . seven
teenth in a series which the de
partment of education at Purdue
is compiling on "Studies in High
er Education."
GRAHAM PORTRAIT

life-size, was painted by Clemont
Strudwick of Hillsboro. Strud
wick exhibited in person paint
ings last year, his work being
well known to the student body
and faculty. The picture hangs
over a fireplace.
Edward Kidder Graham re
ceived his degree here in 1899.
During his undergraduate days
he was editor of the Tar Heel.
He was noted throughout the
country as an educator.
Green's Pamphlet To
Be Published Soon
Fletcher M. Green, associate
professor of history at the Uni
versity, has recently completed
a pamphlet entitled, Heroes of
the American Revolution. This
pamphlet will be published by the
extension division of the Uni
versity. It is a biographical
study of the leaders of the revo
lution, being divided into five sec
tions: (1) the agitators of
American independence; (2) the
military and naval figures; (3)
foreign friends of the revolution;
(4) women of the revolution,
and (5) founders of the repub

an off-tackle play. The quarter
ending with the ball on Caro
lina's one yard line.
After play was resumed for
the fourth quarter, Dickens car-j
ried the ball over on the first
play for Georgia's fourth touch
down of the game. Smith's kick
was low. The final Bulldog score
came on an off-tackle run by
Chandler for thirty-nine yards
and a score. Mott's kick failed.
After the brief threat in the
opening quarter of the game,
Carolina had to be content with
attempting to hold back the
superior weight of the great
Georgia team, that seems headed
for a national championship.
Bulldogs Stronger
The figures of the game show
how completely the Georgians
outdrove the lighter Carolina
line. The Bulldogs made eigh
teen first downs to the Heel's
four. Georgia gained 426 yards
from scrimmage for an average
of sue and one-third yards per
try, while Carolina averaged
four and a fraction yards in
sixty-seven attempts. Carolina
completed two passes out of five
for a gain of forty-two yards,
while Georgia failed to complete
a single pass. Keys of Georgia
led the ground gainers with an
average of ten yards per try,
while Dickens averaged nine.
Croom topped Carolina with an
average of six and one-third
yards per try. Georgia's punt
ers outdistanced the Tar Heel
booters by forty-two yards to
thirty-four and seven-tenths,
while in fumbles the Tar Heels
were beat out by the Bulldogs by
four to three, Georgia recovering
onjy one to the Carolinians twice.
Gilbreath, Fysal, and Under
wood in the line and Chandler,
Slusser, and Croom in the back
field, .were the high lights of the
lighter Carolina team. Downes,
All-Southern quarter last year,
irrigated his way for several nice
returns on Carolina punts. Keys
and Dickens, in the backfield, and
Smith and Hamrick, in the line
topped the much vaunted
Georgia team.
The Tar Heels went in to fight
but were completely outclassed
in everything but fight and spirit
by a heavier, and more experi
enced Bulldog team.
