Book, "Human Aspects of Un
employment," Makes Clear
Need for Organized Relief.
The poignant realities of the
depression, particularly the tot
tering morale of millions of un
employed and the pathos of the
catastrophe for sixteen million
children, are pictured vividly in
'
.a new book just released by the

The volume, Human Aspects

James M. Williams, professor of

the urgent need for nationally
organized relief and shows what
must be done to save the health
and morale of a large and in
creasing part of our population.
Facts From Experience
The facts of the book are
gathered from the author's own
experience as a relief worker.
Dr. Williams has' talked with
manv rvf ho 9 nn nnn bovs who
" CD - 7
-are wandering over the country
-and has been with them in their
''jungles." He exposes the poli
tical goshawk who rations relief
on a slow starvation basis, and
Tvho often poses for " the adula

the well-to-do from taxes to re

Graham Defends Cause
Of Future Generations
President of University Pleads at Mass Meeting in Raleigh for
Sufficient Appropriations to Keep Public Schools and Insti-
- . tutions of Higher Learning From Degradation.
o- ' ,
. (Editor's Note: Following is the
address delivered by Dr. Frank Porter
Graham, president of the greater-University
of North Carolina, befaqeAhe
Citizens Muss Meeting on Public Edu
cation and members of the General
Assembly in Raleigh last Tuesday.)
In this presence of members
of the legislature and more than
four thousand people from all
over North Carolina, gathered
in this new, magnificent Me
morial auditorium in this his
toric capital city, we feel stir
ring within us the traditions and
hopes of an undef eatable people.
Overtaken by a world catastro
phe while carrying with a high
heart the heavy load of their re
cent great investments in roads
and schools, they are, in spite of
all, resolved to pay their debts
and to carry on their bit in
North Carolina for a better
state and a fairer world.
We take our stand today
against no man or party or sec
tion or creed or class, but as
North Carolinians for all of
North Carolina. Every part
needs to consider all of North
Carolina, and all of North Caro
lina needs to consider every
part. We are trying for our
to put into the whole pic
ture thecrisis in public educa
tion as a basic problem of the
commonwealth. We are grimly
aware of the miserable . condi
tion of the country, the desper-l
ate situation in this state, and
the mood of the times critical
with economic high tensions and
social potentialities far and
near.
The Economic Prostration
All America at this time looks
into the face of a prostrate agri
culture, paralyzed industry and
commerce, and millions unem
ployed. The government has be
gun to challenge the hunger that
stalks our streets, but neither
the political nor economic order
has yet lifted the cruel shadow
of a wide despair that falls
across millions of homes where
children are born.
North Carolina, an acute part
of it all, facing the present and
future, must look through the
eyes of a previous agricultural
depression and textile decline,
the subsequent world collapse,
and the peak load of debt pay
ments in high money in the low
years of depression. The state
debt at the beginning of 1932
was one hundred and sixty-one
millions. The local debt was
three "hundred and seventy mil
lions, and the combined debt
was five hundred and thirty-two
millions. The state will end the

year with an operating deficit of
twelve and a half millions.
Public Credit and Public Service
These are hard facts, of which
we must all take account, as we
share with the governor and the
legislature the responsibility to
preserve both the public credit
and the public service. The pub
lic credit is basic to the public
service and to private enterprise,
and it must be preserved. The
public service, with its public
schools, colleges, humanitarian
institutions, state departments
and commissions, and all indis
pensable agencies of public
health and welfare, is basic to
the public credit, to economic
recovery and the social advance.
Without these and the vision
back of them, the people perish.
They, too, must be preserved.
The public credit and the public
services go up or down together.
We owe it to the legislature and
the people to present public edu
cation as a fundamental part of
the public responsibility in mak
ing up the budget of the state.
Place of Education in Budget
In bringing figures to you we
are not bringing merely cold fig
ures on a page, but we are bring
ing flesh and blood in the run
ning stream of life and youthful
opportunities in the policies of &
commonwealth, ine total ex
penditures of the state and its
subdivisions were in 1928-1929,
the year the depression began,
$117,964,513, and in 1932, $99,
206,978. The decrease in public
expenditures of all kinds was al
most nineteen million dollars.
The average decrease in the
whole state in all its subdivi
sions, departments, institutions,
and agencies was 15.9 per cent.
Public education showed a de
crease of 23.4 per cent in its own
expenditures. Most, -of this re
duction in the cost of public edu
cation was in interest and cap
ital investment. But over three
million dollars of the total was
in the reduced operating cost of
the public schools. Yet 4675
more children, enrolled for a
two weeks longer term with an
increased attendance of 83,303,
were taught by 1220 less teach
ers, with over three million dol
lars less money. What other en
terprises in North Carolina can
show so large an increase in
business with so large a decrease
in cost.
Cost of Schools Before 1929
But it is truly said that the
costs of public education had
gone up in North Carolina be

FAMOUS VIOLINIST
OFFERED CONCERT
AT AGE OF SEVEN
Fritz Kreisler Will Appear Here
February 27 Under Aus
pices of Phi Alpha.
Fritz Kreisler, who is coming
here for an appearance in Me
morial hall February 27, under !
the auspices of the local chapter
of Phi Mu Alpha musical fra
ternity, is a living refutation of
the theory that, child prodigies
rarely fulfill their promise in ma
turity. Kreisler was himself a
wonder-child. His interest in the
violin began almost with speech.
He appeared in concert in Vien
na at the age of seven and en
tered the Vienna Conservatory
the same year, though an excep
tion had to be made in his case
as the entrance age was four
teen. Three years later, he car
ried off the gold medal for violin
playing, and having learned ail
that Vienna could teach him,
went to Paris.
At the Paris Conservatory,
Massart, the celebrated violin
pedagogue, and Delibes, who
taught theory, raised their eye
brows somewhat at the inclusion
of the "petit Viennois," then ten
years old, into their classes. But
when, two years later, young
Fritz won the Premier Grand
Prix de Rome against forty com
petitors, all of whom were twen
ty years old or more, there was
general recognition of the pres
ence of a towering talent in their
midst.
Undertook First Tour
From Paris, Kreisler returned
to Vienna and undertook his first
tour. This was with the famous
pianist, Moritz Rosenthal and
was routed through the United
States. The American tour was
'successful; but at its close
Kreisler did an astounding thing,
a thing which marks him for-
