Not the portrait of Bernard
Shaw, the man, but the literary
and social -history of the Eng
land of his time is the most sig
nificant result of Archibald Hen
derson's recently published bi
ography, Bernard Shaw: Play
boy and Prophet. This view is
advanced by Dr. Walter Prich

volume in the latest edition of
Books, literary supplement of
the New York Herald-Tribune.
Dr. Eaton, recognized as one
of the foremost contemporary
What Henderson thinks of Shaw
as a dramatist, how high he
ranks him, does not matter in
this process. The' biographer
as a critic can have his say, and
still leave us the picture, the ac
quaintance and we may do our
own estimating."

critics of the drama, is a mem-. in all foreign countries, and his
letters are considered keenly in
teresting and valuable by Dr.
Eaton.
"Here is the story of one of
the alertest intellects of our
time, ceaselessly at work, for
two generations," writes Dr.
Eaton in reviewing the author's
estimate of his subject, "one of
the chief comic dramatists of
our times fighting both an artis
tic and intellectual battle, one of
the, most puzzling personalities
of our times, at once posing be
fore the public as the most ar
rant egotist, the most flippant
jester, and at the same time
over and over demonstrating
himself a man of deep social
passion.
Reasons for Writing Biography
The critic states his personal
justification for a biography of
Shaw in three points. "The story
of Shaw's battle is the story of
the modern drama in English,
and of much other modern liter
ature beside." The very con
flict of opinion over his person
ality, which has caused him to
be likened to everybody from

ber of the Pulitzer prize play
committee and. has written an
authoritative history of the
Theatre Guild.
Peers Over Shaw's Shoulder
"What he actually does,"
writes the critic in reference to
Dr. Henderson's work, "is to
write a history of modern Eng
lish drama, and modern English
social reform, and passions dur
ing the World War, peering over
Shaw's shoulder, as he does so.
His dragnet has been out in all
directions, sometimes, into
strange waters, exactly because
he looked where Shaw looked."
As has been done before, Dr.
Eaton compares the author of
this official biography to James
Boswell. "It is, in a sense, a
Boswellian method, but has the
advantage of supplying its own
footnotes. Like Boswell's me
thod, it builds up a j)ortrait,
builds up, rather an acquaint
ance with the subject just as we
get to know and ultimately esti
mate anybody from observing
his reactions to the world over
a period of time. Is there any
biographical method better?
Portrait Of Wilson
Is Given To Library
A portrait of Dr. Louis R.
Wilson, former librarian of the
University, was presented last
week at the University library

the Library of the University of
North Carolina. Dr. Wilson is

York City. Druing his visits to

this morning at 10:30 o'clock.

The freshman and sophomore
assembly was addressed yester
day by A. W. Hamilton of Char
lotte, who is considered an au
thority on finance and debt. He
has had fifteen years' experience
with this problem.
Hamilton said that the real
reason for the economic depres
sion goes back to the time of the
United States' entry into the
World War. At tnat time we
were the most respected nation
in the world by virtue of our
having been the melting pot of
the world ; now we are the most
hated, most despised of all the
nations. "The trouble was due"
stated Hamilton, "to the fact
that we did not conscript wealth
and property instead of flesh
and blood. We, our children and
grandchildren must slave in or
der that the war profiteers
might collect what is due them."
In conclusion Hamilton said
that al men of the "Al Capone"
type should be lined up against
a stone wall and executed, there
by saving the people of the
united states $400.00 per
capita.

Y. M. C. A. returned last night

Visit at High Point
The Carolina group visited
High Point College yesterday
morning. They appeared at the
chapel exercises in a thirty
minute program with the same
bill of entertainment that , they
had previously given Sunday
night.
Throughout yesterday they
appeared at the various public
schools in High Point with their
program. Each school was re
ported as having given the Uni
versity delegation a fine hand at
the end of each appearance.
In the mathematics column of
the November issue of The High
School Journal, Professor H. F.
Munch, of the school of educa
tion Jias tabulated the results of
the mathematics placement tests
given to 596 freshmen when they
entered the University in Sep
tember.
Professor Munch precedes his
report with a statement that for
some time the mathematics de
partment has been aware that
many first year students were
deficient in a knowledge of the
fundamentals of mathematics
which were prerequisite for col
lege mathematics. It did not
seem fair to those who did have
adequate knowledge of mathe
matics and skill in the use of the
same to place them in classes
with those who were not thus
prepared. As a result it was
decided to give each incoming
freshman a very simple test pre
pared by certain men in the de
partment and composed of six
arithmetic problems, six algebra
problems, and six geometry .
problems. The problems were
short and did not involve long,
complicated arithmetical or al
gebraic computation.
No Perfect Marks
The summary of the results of
the tests shows that no one re
ceived a score.above sixteen from
the eighteen problems, and only
four received a mark as high as
that. Eight received a score of
zero which means that they did
not solve correctly a single one
of the problems. The median
score was 6.99 while the average
grade was 7.2. Fifty-two of this
group solved less than three of
