at Heidelberg university.
This makes the second Ashe

WATER ENGINEER
WARNS STATE TO
EXPECT DROUGHTS
- r
Charles E. Ray, Jr., Thinks Ur
banization Is Bringing About
Problems in Supply.
Declaring that variation in
stream flow is the natural rath
er than the unusual, pointing to
the rapid urbanization of the
state with its call for more wa
ter for supply and for waste dis
posal, and expressing the view
that the state may expect far
more severe droughts than any
yet of record, Charles E. Ray,
Jr., of Chapel Hill, sounds a note
of warning to North Carolina in
an article in the current number
of The Journal of the American
Water W&rks Association.
Advocates Stream Study
Mr. Ray, who is assistant en
gineer of the Water Resources
and Engineering Division of the
Department of Conservation and
Development here recommends
that all governmental agencies
co-operate in a co-ordinated
study of stream flow, rainfall,
evaporation, etc From this date,
he says, it would be possible to
study the factors and evaluate
their effects, with a view to util
izing more efficiently and eco
nomically our water resources,
and to properly proportioning
the capital investment in our wa
ter supplies and waste treat
ment plants to our stream capa
cities. The article was given first po
sition in the current number of
the Journal. It is considered by
experts to be a valuable analysis
of "Minimum Flow of North
Carolina Streams."
North Carolina has had three
great droughts in the forty-two
years in which records have been
kent. Mr. Ray points out. The
west suffered most in 1925-26,
the east most in 1930-31, and
the whole.state in 1930-31. The
third drought was in. 1894-95.

Arch Turner Allen Desires Taxes
For Education Rather Than Roads
-o-
State Superintendent of Public Instruction and Member Ex-Officio
Of the University Board pf Trustees Says Children
Should Be State's First Consideration.
"No school is good enough for
the North Carolina child except
the best school that money can
buy and that science can devise,"
is a characteristic statement by
Arch Turner Allen, state super
intendent of public instruction
and member ex officio of the
University board of trustees.
Typical of his zeal for educa
tional advance in the state, he
declared that North Carolina
does not think as much of her
children as she does of her
roads.
Addressing a gathering in
1926 in a plea for an eight
months' school term, Allen said
that until the questions concern
ing the proposed term were ad
justed, generations of boys and
girls would pass by neglected.
Scoring those who would limit
education in the state and cut
the school appropriations, he as
serted, "Tax schemes can be
changed, but the, crop of boys
and girls passes each year."
Outstanding Undergraduate
Graduating from the Univer
sity in 1897, Allen won recogni
tion as an outstanding '. under
graduate, being treasurer of Phi
Beta Kappa, president of the
Dialectic Literary Society, cap
tain of the senior football team,
winner of the Holt medal in
mathematics, and winner of a
medal fcr debating.
After receiving his degree at
the University he received sub
Photographs in Union
Thirty-six photographs of stu
dent unions at some of the prin
cipal institutions of the United
States and Canada will be placed
on display in Graham Memorial
building.

Active in Education
The same year he graduated
from the University, Allen be
came principal of the public
schools in Statesville. He later
held the positions of principal
of schools in Washington and
Dilworth; superintendent of
schools at Graham and Salis
bury; member of the state board
of examiners; state director of
teachers' training; and presi
dent ofv the North Carolina
teachers' assembly.
Filling the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Dr. E. C.
Brooks, Governor Morrison in
1923 appointed Allen to the office
of state superintendent of public
instruction. In 1924 he received
the nomination for the position
by the Democratic party.
Long a member of the execu
tive committee of the board of
trustees, Allen's efforts to cham
pion the cause of N education in
the state have been recognized.
Always in favor of bettering the
standards of efficiency in the
state schools, both rural and ur
ban, he is known as one of North
Carolina's foremost constructive
educators. Under the compe
tent direction of this student of
educational problems, a wise ad
ministration of the state's most
important single undertaking,
the development of its public
schools, has been carried out.

GOETHE PRAISED
BY DR. SPANN IN
ASSEMBLY TALK
Hundredth Anniversary of Ger
man Poet's Death Is Ob
served in Program.
The hundredth anniversary of
the death of Goethe, the famous
German poet and playwright,
was observed in yesterday's as
sembly program.
Dr. E. C. Metzenthin, profes
sor of German, introduced the
speaker, Dr. Meno Spann, and
1 i-m
aescrioea now tne anniversary
of the great poet's death will be
celebrated in Chapel Hill during
the coming weeks. According to
Dr. Metzenthin, the library has
promised to co-operate and al
ready has on exhibit a number
of paintings of Goethe. In addi
tion to other plans for the local
observance of a world-wide cele
bration, Dr. Spann will lecture
on Goethe at some date in the
middle of April.
Universal Genius
In his talk, Dr. Spann declared
that the two most prominent
reasons for the greatness of
Goethe were that he was the last
universal genius and the fore
most exponent of harmony.
"Like the true artist," he said,
"Goethe believed that the or
der of things proceeds from the
unshapen to the well-defined
from chaos to cosmos." Dr.
bpann explained tnat ne was
always more appreciative of the
immensity of world civilizations
as a whole, than he "was con
cerned with contending the
merits of anv one. "He was the
first to attempt a, reconciliation
of the French and German civ
ilizations," said Dr. Spann.
Student Journals
Are Well Censored
Undergraduate . publications
edited in American colleges are
in fifty percent of the cases cen
sored either by student or facul
ty councils. This fact was made
known at the recent annual con
gress of the National Student
Federation of America. Of the
fifty-six colleges represented at
this conference only twenty-one
have student journals which are
not limited by faculty restric
tions. At Syracuse the student pub
lication is limited by faculty pro
hibition only in that it must back
up its accusations with adequate
proof. In some of the other col
leges advertising and news mat
ter must undergo thorough
cross-examinations. In other
cases, advertising of cigarette
firms and women's beauty par
lors are banned.

HIBBARD AMAZED
AT UNIVERSITY'S
SPIRM PLIGHT
Former Dean of Liberal Arts
School Says Chapel Hill
Is Not Whining.
"I came away from Chapel
Hill thinking that everyone
there was mighty plucky, and I
did not hear a wail all the time
I was there," writes Dean Addi
son Hibbard of Northwestern
university, who spent several
days here last month visiting
former associates on the Uni
versity faculty.
Dean Hibbard, it will be re
called, left here a year ago to
go to Northwestern at a salary
three times that he was receiv
ing here. He is dean of the col
lege of liberal arts there, the
same position he held here,
where for ten years he was re
garded as one of the ablest mem
bers of the faculty.
Statement in Letter
The statement from Dean Hib
bard quoted above was made by
him in a letter to a faculty mem
ber who said he was sure the
Dean had no idea of being quot
ed but that he was equally sure
he would have no objection to
the statement being used.
Nobody who knows Dean Hib-.,
bard will question his sincerity,
for he is not given to exaggera
tion. Had his visit extended
over a period of several -months
instead of several days he doubt
less would have heard a few
complaints, for in every com
munity there are a few indi
viduals who are' prone to be
poor sports. But even the clos
est observers have marveled at
the spirit of the University fac
ulty and students in these try
ing times. The University has
proved conclusively that it can
take its depression medicine in
good spirit along wilh the rest
lofthe folks.
