FAMOUS VIOLINIST
WILL PLAY HERE
TOMORROW NIGHT
Concert by Fritz Kreisler in
Memorial Hall Sponsored ,
By Phi Mu Alpha.
Fritz Kreisler, -who will ap
pear here tomorrow evening in
tfemorial hall at 8 :30 o'clock, is
recognized as today's outstand
ing genius of the violin, and has
appeared in every city of im
portance in the world and has
received equal acclaim for his
performance everywhere he has
played.
Kreisler began his concert
career as a child prodigy ap
pearing in Vienna at the age of
seven. He entered the Vienna
conservatory and three years
later was awarded a gold medal
for violin playing. Following
his study in Vienna he went to
the Conservatory of Paris where
his age created some excitement
.among his tutors who were dub
ious of teaching advanced
courses in theory of music to a
child ten years old. Here, how
ever, Kreisler won the Premier
Grand Prix de Rome in competi
tion with forty other violinists
who were all at least twice his
age. .
The concert here is under the
auspices of the Phi Mu Alpha
musical fraternity. There are a
number of tickets available for
seats on the main floor.
The program will include the
famous Kreutzer Sonata by
Seethoven, Concerto No. 3 in G
najor by Mozart, and a group of
short modern selections includ
ing Piece en Forme de Haba
nera by Ravel, La Fille aux
Cheveux de Lin by Debussy,
Spanish Dance by Des Falla and
Tango by Albeniz both ar
ranged by Kreisler, and two of
his own compositions Caprice

Lumpkin Discusses Various
Problems of Family.
The Family, a volume by
Katharine DuPres Lumpkin, has
recently been released by the
university Press. This book
deals with the average Ameri
can family and grew out of an
intensive case study of a select
ed group of families. It aims,
hy way of first hand materials,
to illuminate certain basic socio-
iogicai principles o family re
lationships and organizations.
The book is divided into two
sections, one, Tht Social Pro
cess in Family Life, and the
other, A Study of .Member
Roles. The first takes up the
family as a whole and discusses
the social situation of one fam
ily with another, while the sec
ond characterizes each member
of the family senaratelv. The
author concludes that social in
security would not be so serious
for the modern home if it were
Bot often accompanied by a
widespread economic insecurity
Families Insecure
The author states that there is
so doubt that a great number of
families in our capitalist society
are at the mercy of an economic
insecurity that makes solutions
of problems and adjustments to
conditions thoroughly baffling.
Ane source of observation ot
families was taken from a se
-eci group of forty-six families

LECTURERS DECRY
INDEPENDENCE OF
AMERICAN PEOPLE
Dr. Fred Rippy and Dr. Hubert
Herring Speak on Program
Of Open Forum Friday.
"The greatest need of the
world today is an organization
to allot markets, to provide raw
materials and to adjust nation
al aspirations," Dr. Fred Rippy
of Duke University, history pro
fessor and authority on Latin
America culture, said in an ad
dress here Friday night on the
seventh Open Forum program
sponsored by the University
Council for Student Expression.
Speaking with him on the
program was ur. iuoerx u.
Herring, director of the Com
mittee on Cultural Relations
with Latin America.
Stability Needed
"We need such an interna
tional organization in order to
maintain stability," Dr. Rippy
maintained. Our world is not
one, he said, in which the na
tions are competing for raw
materials wherever they are
available, in which they are
wrangling for markets, and in
which territory for surplus
population is dangerously dis
puted. The antagonism arising
from such competition must be
settled either by war or organiz
ed aribtration.
"America is decidedly now in
an interdependent world. Catas
trophes in one area are felt
everywhere," Dr. Rippy con
tinued. Since 1880 foreign
trade and investment has in
creased 5,600 per cent. Popula
tion has doubled. "There has
been perilous increase in the
instruments of warfare, and in
our power to injure each other."
The final program of the
Open Forum lectures sponsored
by the Council for Student Ex
pression schedules Norman
Thomas, Socialist ex-candidate
for the Presidency, to speak in
Memorial hall next Friday even
ing, March 3, 8:30 o'clock.
Reverend Tamblyn Returns
After an absence of two weeks,
while on a visit to Plymouth
church, Lawrence, Kansas, Rev
erend Ronald J. Tamblyn will
have charge of the Student Fo
rum tonight at 7:00 o'clock at
the Presbyterian church and
will discuss the problem of "Mil

St. Helena Negro Quartet Belongs
To Group Well Known For Songs
- o
Negroes Who Appear Here Today Have Great Reputation for Their
Unique Presentation of Many Spirituals and Folk Songs;
St. Helena Island Studied by University Group.
o .
The St. Helena quartet, ap
pearing in a program of Negro
spirituals this afternoon at 4 : 00
o'clock in Memorial hall under
the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.,
represents a group of Negroes
far-famed for their folk songs.
This group lives on St. Helena
Island, which lies along the
coast of South Carolina, about
midway between Charleston and
Savannah. " Ever since the Civil
War, when the white people
were forced to leave, the island
has been almost a Negro com
munity. There are now over
4,000 Negroes and less than a
100 white people on the island.
Until recently the place was
quite isolated from the main
land, but about six years ago it
was made accessible to motor
traffic by causeways and
bridges.
Most Songs Religious
Among the sea-island Negroes
are found quite a few rem
nants of the old English and
Scottish popular ballads, but
the majority of their songs are
religious. Formerly a type of
spiritual called "the shout" was
very commonly used in religious
services, but it is on the de
cline. The shouting referred as
much to the foot movements
of the shouters as to their vocal
outbursts, ine snout was a
simple song, repeated over and
over with slight variations in
words, and accompanied by
rhythmic shuffling, stamping,
and sometimes by other foot
work resembling the late Char
leston dance.
Many of the spirituals heard
in this part of the country are
sung in the sea-islands, but some
of them are sung, differently.
Roll Jordan Roll, for example,
is sung to a tune different from
Tar Heel Offers
University
o
Service and Language Culture Are Two Aims of Department;
Discipline and Beauty Are Objectives in Study
Of English Language.
o
, (Editor's Note: The Daily Tar
Heel begins today its second series of
departmental surveys, with the inten
tion of presenting student opinion on
courses offered in the University cur
riculum, as a guide to students in reg-
1 istering for the spring quarter. Opin
ions offered in this series have been
carefully secured from students and
are not necessarily those of the Daily
Tar Heel.)
The functions of the English
department were stated last year
by Dr. George Coffman as two
fold: first, that of a service de
partment, helping and setting up
classes especially for other di
visions of the University; and
second, that of existing in its
own right for the sake of the
English language.
Objectives in Instruction
Two objectives are sought in
student instruction. One regards
discipline, and the other beauty.
An attempt is made to discipline
the student's mind so that he
thinks more clearly and express
es himself more easily, and sec
ondly to interest him in reading
good literature and talking and
thinking worthwhile things.
Students interviewed in the
course of this survey feel that
the department succeeds admir
ably in creating good taste in
reading. However, the general
charge was made that few mem
bers seek to arouse a thinking
the Hampton tune, and manj
people consider the St. Helena
version superior. There are
also many songs on the St.
Helena which are not familiar
to this part of the country, and
it is said that the St. Helena,
quartet will specialize in these
spirituals.
School Poorly Equipped
On the St. Helena Island there
are several public schools, but
most of these are one or two
room schools, very poorly equip
ped. The chief educational
forces on the island is Penn
school, founded during the Civil
War, supported by philanthro
phy, and designed to equip the
islanders to make a better living
from their farms and trades.
The quartet which will appear
here this afternoon is sponsored
by Penn school. The members
have had no formal training in
music. One of the singers is
business manager of the school;
another is manager of the black
smith shop of the school; a
third teaches basket making;
and the fourth manages the
school dairy.
A study of St. Helena Island
was made in 1928 by a group of
University professors under the
auspices of the Social Science
Research Council and the Uni
versity Institute for Research in
Social Science. Three volumes
dealing with St. Helena Island
were published by University
faculty members. The first was
Dr. T. J. Woofter's Black Yeo
manry, a general summary of
the whole study. Dr. Guion
Johnson wrote A Social History
of the Sea Islands, and Dr. Guy
B. Johnson wrote Folk Culture
on St. Helena Island. Dr. Clar
ence Heer and Dr. Roy Brown
also assisted in the study.
Survey Of
English Courses
attitude toward the : materials
presented. Most of the peda
gogues were indicted for "text
worship" and were criticized for
failing to link their subjects
with modern trends in literature
and public affairs. It was ob
served that the men who have
adopted this method are among
the most popular in the depart
ment. As in the survey last year
students complained of the lack
of writing instruction after the
freshman year. Many, however,
feel that the courses in creative
writing may eventually prove a
remedy along this line.
The following is the consensus
of student opinion on various
courses taught in the depart
ment:
English 1-2-3
Fall quarter extremely dul
due to empnasis on grammar
and rhetoric, themes chiefly in
auto-biographical subjects, and
a poor text. Winter and spring
improve under greater choice in
writing and better texts. Pro
