Knight Talks
To Dulcesters
On B. Craven
Special to The Daily Tar Hefx
DURHAM, May 1 Edgar W.
Knight, Kenan professor of ed
ucational history in the Uni
versity of North Carolina said
here tonight that Braxton Cra
ven, founder and principal of
Normal .College in Randolph
County, had a view of teacher
education which could well
be followed in that important
activity today.
In an address at the annual
meeting of the Duke Chapter of
Kappa Delta Pi, national honor
society of education, Dr. Knight
said, "Few if any men ever
more highly exalted the work
and influence of the teacher
than Braxton Craven."
, Conditions under which Cra
ven was born in a log cabin and
brought up in most humble cir
cumstances were difficult and
he had a hard time getting an
education, Dr. Knight pointed
out.
"But his diligent habits of
study made him one of the best
educated and cultivated men of
his time," said Dr. "Knight.
Craven wrote widely and well
on educational subjects, had a
part in founding two magazines,
"The Southern Index" and "The
Evergreen" and published a
plan for the education of teach
ers which is one of the import
ant documents of American ed
ucation. "Few if any men in the his
tory of American education in
the 19 th century saw solutions
for the tensions and issues of
their times than Craven found
in excellent teaching,." Dr.
Knight said.

"I've heard rumors that Roose
velt committed suicide, and that
Hitler is aMve and working in a
delicatessen in. the Bronx, but the
story that Tito. was killed at the
close of the war and has been
impersonated currently is sweep
ing the Balkans," Farber said.
"It may be more than idle spe
culation," Farber added, "every
one who gave it to me gave the
same details."
Cites Incidents
Several incidents seem to bear
proof to the story, according to
Farber. "Former war-time as
sociates of Tito claim "that he had
one finger missing, but today's
Tito has no such deformity." He
pointed to another report which
concerned a long period after the
war ended when Tito would not
visit his aged mother. When she
was gravely ill, Tito finally went
to see her.
"Afterwards," Farber said, "she
revealed 'that was not my son.'
Conditions in Yugoslavia", the
Tito government, the country's
historical background, and im
pressions of an American visitor
were discussed by Shevcov, Jure
cic and Farber.
Ted Shevcov, born in Belgrade,
capital of Yugoslavia, of White
Russian parents, lived there for
15 years. The Shevcovs fled the
country in 1945 and were among
displaced persons until 1948 when
they came to the United States.
Ted entered Carolina in 1949 and
is now a junior majoring in chem
istry. Tony Jurecic, a native of west
ern Yugoslavia, left" the country
in 1946. He came to UNC in 1950
and is also a major in chemistry.
Speaking about the country's
background, Jurecic told the for
um group that Yugoslavia is ap
proximately twice the size of
North Carolina. A mixture of
many peoples, the nation has four
languages officially recognized to
day by the government, Jurecic
said.
LUX Criticized
Shevcov commented upon the
Tito government, criticizing the
Life magazine serial of Tito's life,
written by Tito. "In the serial,"
he said, "Tito has exaggerated the
former conditions in Yugoslavia
in order to play up his claims of
having improved the nation."
"Tito definitely has not bet
tered the lot of the people," he
stated. As an example Shevcov

cited the case of his cousin who
is working in that country now.
"He walks to work because he no
longer can afford the bus fare,"
Shevcov said.
Globe-trotter Farber told of his
trip to Yugoslavia last year and
pointed out his first impressions
of the communist nation.
His first indication of life in
that country came when Farber
was waiting for a plane in Zurich,
and heard a. report that a Yugo
slav co-pilot mutinied against the
.pilot in the air over Yugoslavia
and escaped with the plane and
passengers to Switzerland, 'after
a near crackup in the Alps. Farber
continued by train.
"There are tiiree Impressions
received by Americans as they
first enter the country," he con-,
tinued. "No'tody' ever smiles;
there is no advertising on the
ntreet corners the state-owned
stores don't want you to buy from
them, and pictures of Tito ap
pear evey where." ,
Even On Cigarels
Tito's picture is even on ciga
rettes, Farber added. "All good
(Yugoslavs will smoke only
up to Tito's chin." This is health
ful as well as patriotic, he said.
'There is no difference in the
communis mof Yugoslavia and
Russia," Farber pointed out.
"Both Tito and Stalin claim to
be the better communist today."
But since Tito was expelled from

the . Comirfiorm for refusing ' to
"knuckle under to Stalin's com
mands," the theme of - Yugosla
via has been "co-existence," he
said.
Now Tito advocates cooperation
with the western, capitalistic na
tions. 'There is no reason, why
we can't work and live together
now, Tito's government contends."
Explaining the plight of the
workers and peasants, Farber
said "Loudspeakers in the fac
tories .tell the workers over and
over how fortunate they are." Ac
tually they do not make enough
money in a month to buy a pair
of shoes, he said .
Farber told of an incident when
a movie depicting the United
States in the throes pf depression
was shown as a propaganda stunt.
"It had to be discontinued because
the audience was whispering
about 'those wonderful shoes on
the worker getting beat up. "
