Former Campus Politician Voices
Endorsement Of Anti-War Strike
Taylor Bledsoe of the Univer
sity's class of 1926, who is now
an attorney in Asheville, voiced
his hearty support of tomor
row morning's anti-war strike
when he was on the campus Sun-,
day.
Bledsoe recently had a series
of articles in the Carolina Mag
azine on his political activities
here when an undergraduate.
He wTas president of S. P. E. fra
ternity and a member of the De
bate Council.
Approves
"I thoroughly approve of the
anti-war strike," he said bun
day, "which I understand will
be held at the University on
Wednesday. It is very clear that
if war (is to be stopped youth
will have to do it. The old tim
ers are ever ready to declare a
war that youth must fight in.
If the men of military age let it
be known without equivocation
that they will not fight on for

no political leader , would be so
silly as to take us into war.

go, don't memorize it, master
it."
All students, says Dr. Wil
liams, have either an arithme
tical or algebraic attitude. One
student with the arithmetical, at
titude contends that five and two
are seven, attempting to contra
dict another who contends that
four and three are positively
seven. Obviously both are right,
but they have based their conclu
sions on the dictation of custom
and authority rather than their
own intelligence. "There's not
a man in this room who knows
what a 'one' is except me. And
there are two professors here."
The two professors were Dean
House and Dean Bradshaw.
The student with the algebra
ic attitude, continued Dr. Wil
liams, looks into equations and
sees their "why," not using the
memory but intelligence. "I
think no course in the curricu
lum should be offered unless it
is to be presented algebraically.
CAROLINA DA3IES TO MEET
The Carolina Dames will meet
tonight at 8 o'clock in the
Graduate Women's club, 113
South Columbia street.
-A program of cookery has
been arranged.
Clifford W.. Beers, secretary
of the National Association for
Mental Hygiene, and nationally
prominent agitator for reform in
the treatment of the insane, will
be sponsored in a talk tonight
at 8 o'clock in Hill Music hall
by the North Carolina Neuro
psychiatric society, which is be
ginning a movement to organize
a mental hygiene society in Dur
ham and Orange counties. -
Shortly after his graduation
from Yale, Beers was afflicted
with a minor mental disorder ne
cessitating his spending some
time in an asylum. He is the
author of the well-known work
The ilind That Found Itself."
He has been working for more
than 30 years to educate both
the public and the medical pro
fession to a new attitude toward
the insane.
The North Carolina Neuro
psychiatry society is a subsidi
ary of the North Carolina Medi
cal society and was formed
about two years ago to assist in
the movement for more humane
and helpful treatment of the in
sane. The society has sponsored
the formation of several mental
hygiene societies throughout the
state and is now planning to or
ganize such a society for this
and Durham counties.
