Not every student can travel over the, state, interviewing high school graduates, but during the next few weeks there .will be splendid oppor tunities for loyal and energetic students to con tact the best that North Carolina's high schools have to olf er, right here on the campus. First, there will be an aggregation of young play wrights and actors, coming from high schools in every section of the state, for the Carolina Dra matic Festival, which is to be held in the Play makers theatre this week. A second opportunity for meaningful activity will be offered during the coming week when the high school debaters of the state will meet here to compete for the Aycock prize, awarded annually for excellence in debate. Representatives to both of these meets will remain in Chapel Hill for some time. In nearly , every instance they will represent the very best material that their schools afford. Also, a large percentage of them expect to attend some col lege. We are to be hosts to these young people, and if, in playing the host, we will but do a lit tle judicious campaigning at the same time, we may bring many of them back as students next year. W.A.S.

Why Hide Our -Lights Under a Bushel The Student Advisory Committee of the Divi sion of Student Welfare passed a proposal sev eral weeks ago recommending that the Pubhca tions Union board come to the aid of the regis trar and his underworked enrollment-list clerks by providing free publicity to all rating high schools of North Carolina and to a complete roster of northern and southern preparatory schools. This publicity should be tendered, sug gests the committee, by sending to these insti tutions free copies of University publications on the subscription basis. "It is in universities," Lord Haldane once said "that . . the soul of the people mirrors itself." It is in the publications, we continue, that the soul of the university is portrayed. Presenting to the up-and-coming college prospects the in side story of the workings and the personalities of our institution is an excellent advertisement. It creates an interest, an innate relationship, a neighborliness of feeling, that tends to make the prep and high school students "Carolina-minded." When they can peruse publications concerning Nthe activities of the University of North Caro lina, they can experience a familiarity that might prove exceedingly beneficial to the University not only in a possible increase in enrollment, but also in a wholesale broadcast of its reputation. We suggest, however, that Carolina publica- Jack Pool, president of the senior class; mrnie UJutsler president of junior class ; John Rainey, president of the sopho more class; Frank Kenan, sen ior Student council member Francis Fairley, junior Student and Marvin Dr. W. C. Coker of the de partment of botany of the Uni versity has presented to the Uni versity library a copy of the rare, valuable, and interesting Herbal," by Gerrard. This copy of the "Herbal" is the edition of 1636, the best issued having the latest corrections, and the rare frontispiece showing a portrait of Gerrard holding a po tato plant. . John Gerrard, the author, most famous of all the English her balists, was a barber-surgeon who flourished in the latter half of the 16th century and who cultivated in what is now Fet ter Lane in London, an exten sive garden containing over a thousand different plants. Published in 1597 In 1596 he published a cata logue of these plants, the first complete catalogue of any gar den, public or private, and in 1597 came the first edition of the "Herbal, or Generall His toric of Plantes.", It is much more than an illustrated cata logue. He describes with sim plicity and charm the localities where various plants are to be found, and embodies much of the contemporary folklore. For those who care to seek it Gerrard supplies an unequalled picture of the wfld-flower life in London in Elizabethan days. His book is the first to contain a drawing of "Virginian Tu bers," both the plant and the tu bers. In common with others of his time Gerrard had a simple and unquestioning faith in the efficacy of herbs, not only to cure physical ills, but also those of the mind and even of the heart. "The smell of Basil is good for the heart . . it taketh away sorrowfulness, which cometh of melancholy, and maketh a man merry and glad," he says. "Those of our time do use the floures in salads to exhilarate the mind." "Chervil root boiled and after dressed as the cun ning cook knoweth how better than myself is very good for old people that are dull and "with out courage." In spitef this faith, how ever, Gerrard shares the modern scientist's scorn of superstitions. He declines to give those beliefs pertaining to mugwort, as "tend ing to witchcraft and sorcerie and the great dishonor of God." In speaking of the mandrake legend, "There have been many ridiculous tales brought up of this plant, whether of old wives or runnegate surgeons, or phi sick mongers I know not, all whiche dreames and old wives tales you shall from hencefoorth cast out of your bookes of mem- one.

The stars for the picture are Catalina Barcena, Gilbert Re land, and Rosita Moreno, who are reputed to be among the best of the Spanish actors and actresses.

It is a part of our old economic philosophy which now most deeply threatens the NRA success. The country is everywhere feeling the ill ef fects of a widespread spirit which in its final analysis is everything except cooperation. Big business is ref using to accede to the rights which are granted to labor under the code provisions. In New York we have taxi strikes with such an excessive amount of violence that a double police is required in many sections of the city.

These strikes represent a hangover from the past. They threaten the very heart of the NRA. Th element of inconvenience to the public, while quite serious, becomes in the light of the wide spread strikes the possibility of a failure in the NRA. W.R.E.
