Help Needed for the Schools
If the taxpayers of North
Carolina and other Southern
states bad a full realization of
what, a desperate situation they
face, in respect to the financing
of the public schools, they would
exert all the pressure at their
command to have the recommen
dations of the President's Ad
visory Committee on Education
enacted into law.
The report of the Committee
gives information, new to most
people, about the disproportion
ate burden that the support of
education imposes upon the peo
ple of the South.
The non-farm population in
the Northeastern states, with
gij, million children, recpises 42
per cent of the national income,
the farm j>opulation in the
Southeastern states with 4*4
mijlion children, receives only 2
per cent of the national income.
In; the South there is a 30 per
cent excess of births over deaths,
and the South, which has less
than one third of the country's
whole population, has more than
one half of the excess of births'
over deaths.
As illustrating the wide dif
ference between states in finan
cial ability, the studies of the
Committee show that in three of
the more fortunate states of the
nation the expediture per child
for schooling is more than $l2O,
while in three of the less fortu
nate states it is less than S3O.
More children to educate and
less money with which to meet
the cost—that, in brief, is the
predicament' of the South.
The situation is made more
serious by the inauguration of
the Social Security program,
which calls for money payments
by, state and local governments
to the aged, to dependent chil
dren, and to the blind. The mil
lions required for this program
must be raised' by taxes, and
this, if it does not actually re
duce the appropriations for
schools, will almost certainly
have the effect of reducing the
urgently needed increase in
these appropriations.
The President’s Advisory
Committee approves the prin
ciple of distributing federal aid
to schools in accordance with
the economic ability of the states
and the number children in
proportion to population. The
report has been transmitted to
Congress by the President, and
Senator Harrison of Mississippi
has proposed that the recom
mendations be adopted as an
amendment to the Harrison-
Fletcher-Black federal aid bill.
The bill, so amended, provides
federal aid to schools over an
experimental period of six years.
The grant would be 70 million
dollars the first year and would
rise to 109 million in the sixth.
The expenditure of the money
would be under state control.
On the basis of the distribu
tion recommended by the Com
mittee, the allotment to this state
in the sixth year would be some
where around 10 million dollars.
St. John's Dean to Speak Here
Dean Scott Buchanan of St.
John's College will lead an in
formal discussion of “The Place
of Mathematics in the Curricu
lum" at 3 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon in room 212, Peabody

evening in room 206, Phillips

Horace Williams Will Be 80 Tomorrow
(Continued from firet page)
break in on one of his stdewralk
colloquys the chances are better
than even that you will be able
to take in his meaning. .
Mr. Williams was born April
16, 1858, at Sunbury, Gates
county, hear the Virginia line
and a few miles this way from
the Dismal Swamp. His father
was a physician. His autobio
graphy, The Education of Hor
ace William $, published in 1936,
began by recalling a troop of
cavalry in the yard of his home.
“The silver-mounted bridles stir
red my admiration. When the
soldiers left we were poor in
deed. There was not a chicken,
not a pig. not a cow, not a grain
of wheat or corn."
He tells in that book how he
worked in the fields as a farm
laborer while his father was
visiting the sick for miles
around. He got a job in a store
at $125 a year. After the first
year his salary’ was raised to
$175, and at the end of the sec
ond year he had saved SIOO.
He came to the University,
and joined the Phi Society when
Charles B. Aycock was its presi
dent One of his regrets as he
looks back on his college days
was that he dropped mathemat
ics. jThere is no substitute for
mathematics; the student who
knows no mathematics cannot
be educated.’’
He went to the Yale Divinity
School where Professor Dwight
had a great influence upon him.
He was called to Trinity College
(the forerunner of Duke Uni
versity) to teach Greek and
German. The next summer he

lage could be heard the blaring
of the loud-speaker at the Gra
ham Memorial. This apparatus
was used solely in behalf of John
( ’reedy of Uhapel Hill, independ
ent candidate for the editorship
of the Carolina Magazine. His
backers took turns at the micro
phone, and all day long the peo
ple of Chapel Hill heard repeat
ed exhortations of “Justice for
John,” and “Vote for John
Creedy, unanimously nominated
by the Magazine staff and ig
nored by the parties in favor of
two politicians, the combined
total of whose contributions to
the Magazine during the last
two years is one book review.”
In the crowd that surged all
day in front of the building five
or six pretty co-eds, decked fore
and aft with posters, walked up
and down handing out campaign
literature. Their posters praised
Creedy.
The polls closed and the crowd
dispersed at 5:30. After supper
groups of students again drift
ed toward the Graham Memorial
as the first results were being
posted on blackboards set up in
the lounge. By 9 o’clock the
Maddry Runs for Sheriff
Frank Maddry, 35 years old,
patrolman on the University
campus soy the last two years,
has announced his candidacy for
the office of sheriff of Orange
county, subject to the Demo
cratic primary in June. A na
tive of this county, he was grad
uated from the Chapel Hill high
school in 1925. He has been a
police officer for five years. For
two years he wqs a deputy sher
iff when Chief Sloan was sheriff,
and during this time he worked
all over the county.
P. T. A. Meeting
The P. T. A. will meet at 3:30
Tuesday afternoon at the ele
mentary school. Mrs. Fred
Fletcher will talk about “Some
Needs and Possibilities of a
Recreational Program for Chapel
Hill Children."

went to Germany. He returned
to Yale, and while he was there
he preached in neighboring coun-'
try churches. He transferred
to Harvard and studied under
Everett, James, and Royce. It
was at Harv ard that he became
a disciple of Hegel. "The study
of Hegel brought a steady light
into my life.”
He came to the faculty here
in 1890, succeeding Rev. Adol
phus W. Mangum, father of Dr.
Charles S. Mangum. How he be
came famous as a teacher and
exerted a powerful influence on
one generation after another of
University students this is
familiar history.
One page of Mr. Williams’ au
tobiography carries a promise of
future benevolence to the Uni
versity. He writes:
“I came to Chapel Hill and
the service of the University
with money enough to reach the
village. I have made money. The
growth of the University is the
opportunity that I have enjoyed.
It was easy to gather profits.
The question arises, What to do
with the money? The question
has given me concern. I have
kinsfolk who need it and expect
it. But they had nothing to do
with it. As I see it, that money
belongs to my Mother, my Wife,
the University. The profits are
to go as Fellowships in the name
of my Mother and my Wife.
These Fellowships are to be in
Philosophy. These added to the
two Kenan Fellowships will give
the Department perhaps six Fel
lowships of seven hundred dol
lars.”
(lounge was packed and free cof
fee was being served.
By 11 o’clock the final returns
had been posted. With 1,959
votes cast, it had been the
heaviest balloting on the campus
since 1933. The University party
won 19 of the 30 contested of
fices but failed to win - the pre
sidency of the student body? Jim
Joyner, Student party candidate,
was elected president, (’reedy
polled more votes than both of
his opponents together.
Allen Merrill was elected edi
tor of the Tar Heel. Sandy Gra
ham, Jr., son of the recent can
didate for Governor of the state,
was elected vice-president of the
senior class.
