PRESIDENT SAYS
EDUCATION NEEDS
MORE DEMOCRACY
Graham, in Speech at Columbia,
Points Out Place of Educa
tion During Depression.
- President Frank P. Graham
gave his conception of the role
of education in times of depres
sion in an address to the dis
trict meeting of the Kiwanis
clubs of the two Carolinas, in
Columbians. C, Friday night.
"Today," President Graham
stated, "the new frontier and
the chief economic and social
factor in-American life is pub
lie education ... If we fail there,
we fail everywhere."
Place of Education
He further asserted that,
"Basic as are the matters of de-
flcits,' debts, and the depression,
there is something more funda
mental at stake back of them
all. In tightening up our bud-
gets, we must not lose our demo
cracy. )ne of the greatest
needs in America is a reasser
tion, in the teeth of cynicism, in
our faith in Americanism, in a
deeper and a wider use of the
ways and powers of ctemocracy."
Equality Base of Democracy
Dictatorships, President Gra
ham pointed out, encroach upon
the ideas and processes of demo
cracy throughout tne world,
whether as fascism in Italy, bol
shevism.in Russia or privileged
interests in America. He stated
further that the equality of. our
democracy and the future of our
commonwealth rest in the oppor
tunities open to the children in
the public schools.
Evil of Cut Budget
He emphasized the danger of
-dropping hundreds of teachers
in the Carolinas and the crowd
ing of the increasing number of
-children in the room of the heav

that it is the children who pay
the costs necessitated by this

fairness, economy and excellence

FORREST TO READ
HIS LATEST WORK
AT PLAYMAKERS

Here at 8:30 Tonight in
Playmakers Theatre.
Belford Forrest, playwright
and theatre director who is read
ing his latest play, How It All
Began, at the Playmakers thea
tre tonight at 8 : 30 o'clock prom
ises his audience "a. peppy even
ing, even if they don't like the
play." The public is cordially
invited to attend the reading.
Speaking of the. play in a re
cent letter to Harry Davis, he
says: "It's all about the swell,
bunch who built the first thea
tre, and they were all just as
tricky as theatre managers to
day, the idea being that the thea
tre world has never been m other
wise and out of a great smoul
dering heap uprose the priceless
beauty of Romeo. and Juliet,
Hamlet, Othelld; and such trifles.
The First Theatre
The first theatre was built by
a butter and egg man (a gro
cer) . The first deadheads crash
ed the gate before the first thea
tre was built they started the
free list in the lease. The part
ners fought, lied, stole, cheated
stopped just short of murder
ing each other. And so on and
so on the theatre is eternally
the same. My opus tells the
story of how old . Burbage
,
swindled , his brother-in-law,
:
grocer, into Dunamg tne tnea
tre. Tt is a blasphemous, red-
blooded, Elizabethan yarn, ob
scene and diverting."
Forrest motored up from Co
lumbia, S. C, Saturday with a
group of friends who are anx
ious to hear him read his play.
The visitors were also the
guests of the Playmakers at the
r 1 XT T
nnai periormance oi uncie
Tom's Cabin last night.
A theatre manager from New
York who is very much inter
ested in the play for a Broad
way production will probably
come down today to hear Mr.
Forrest read his play and dis
cuss the production with him.
