Word has just been received fromDean Holgate, of Northwestern Uni-versity, Evanston, 111., that a LaVerne

Scholarship for 1925-26 hasM. Ray. ofNoyesbeen awarded to HardyRaleigh. These scholarships havebeen established by Mr. L. V. Noyes,a Chicago millionaire, in memory ofhis son, who was killed in action inFrance during the World War. Theyare awarded only to ex-service menof high character who have made goodrecords in scholarship in first-classAmerican colleges or universities.

The} Raleigh boy was given thishonor largely as a result of the ex-cellent work which he did this sum-mer in the School of Speech of North-western University. As a special stu-dent in this school. Mr. Ray pursuedfive courses in Dramatics and Inter-pretative Reading. and made grades ofA in four of them and B in the other.Also, he played the leading male rolein the 1925 summer production. thatof Mons. Jacquelin in “My Lady'sDress.” by Edward Knoblock. Of hisperformance in this part the critic ofa Chicago newspaper said: “HardyRa‘y was just the right combinationof silk and steel to make his handlingof this difficult role worthy of highpraise.”,Ray will use this scholarship to

continue his studies in the School ofSpeech in Northwestern University.where he will flnish his course in twoyears. He received his preliminarytraining in public speaking and dra-matics under Professor C. C. Cunning-ham of the 'State College and in localtheatrical productions.

lege this year will consist of approxi-mately 670 men. This is a decreasefrom, last year because the small gov-ernment allowance made it necessaryto cut the number of trainees fromwhat it had been in the past. In theselection of freshmen who would beallowed to take military training, astrict physical examination was re-sorted to and a large number weredisqualified. The number of men en-rolled in each class is as follows:Freshmen. 315; Sophomores. 200:Juniors, 65; Seniors. 90.

Drill will be scheduled three timesa week for freshmen. juniors andseniors, and twice a week for $0thmores. This will be the first timein the last few years that the entiresenior group have drilled three timesa week. The staff hopes to have athter drilled regiment " this yearunder the new schedule.As this year’s appropriations for

the R. 0. T. C. unit was reduced bythe government. the size of the regi-ment will have to be drastically cut.This forces the staff to pick only themen who are of the highest physicaltype.

FIRST ASSEMBLYPERIOD OF YEAR

Dr. Brooks Discusses Rating ofthe College and Individual

. StudentsThe first College Assembly of the

present school year was held in Pul-ien Hall at 12 o’clock Wednesday,September 16. A large per cent ofthe faculty and student body werepresent. This is the beginning of aregular series of assembly periods tobe held during the year. a regularhour having been scheduled insteadof having the assembly period onlywhen called by the President of theCollege. as was the method used dur-ing the 1924-1925 school year.

At the beginning of the hour Cap-tain P. W. Price and his Band fur-nished music of a high order. eventhough many of his men were lessthan a week old in the organization.

Devotional exercises were led bythe Rev. W. A. Stallbury, pastor ofthe Edenton Street Methodist Church.Dr. Brooks addressed the assembly.using two main thoughts as the sub-jects for discussion. His first sub-ject was: “What would be the ratingof State College as an educationalinstitution if viewed in an unbiasedway from the outside?" His secondsubject was: “What would be the in~dividual rating of each student ofState College?"

In discussing the rating of the Col—lege as a whole, Dr. Brooks reviewedhis summary of the year's work atthe last College Assembly of the year1924,1925:

(1) The rating of the College wasgood. he said: because more mensent their sons here to college eachsucceeding year than was the' casethe preceding year.

Welcome to Raleigh, fair maidensof Meredith, Peace, and St. Mary’s.Now how about some of these

church socials, so a fellow can getacquainted.

State should have an unusallygood team this fall, since it has aSermon with it all the time.

California educational leaders todecide .whether a student shouldthink for himself or not, says a re-cent headline. Well, of all thingsto expect from a college student;where will it stop? _ ’A feature which we think- will

This is all right,but we certainly are sorry for thelad who hasn’t the price of a ticket.Tm: Tscuxicixx carries a news

story this week which should be ofintcrcst to all old State Collegemen and the people of Raleigh aswell. It is concerning H. M.

Raywon several honors for cxccllcncc inoratory while a studcnt here, andwas alwafvs a fayoritc among dra-inatic circles at _l.’cacc Institute.Ig ‘0

Introducing “Evaporated Bull”Those of our readers who care-

fully perused last week’s issue ‘prob-ably noticed several new “columns.”One of these was entitled “Evapo-rated Bnll.” To some this maysound‘ rather odd, but since '-thiscolumn is to consist of clippingsfrom editorials, chiefly collegiate,men. We started in with a clippingfrom our old friend, The RaleighTimes, but we expect to clip most ofour comments from the collegepublications. Questions of interestto all colleges are very capably dis-cussed by the college editors (occa-sionally) and these, with commentsfrom the leading state dailies, willconstitute our new column.

WE BEG TO DIFFERIn The News and Observer of

September“ 9, Mr. Ben Dixon Mac-Neill, in his column, “Cellar andGarret,” proceeds to give his viewson the “Professional Courses” of-fered by the colleges of the State,and does State (‘ollcge the honor ofpicking it as/a’f‘cpresentativc of thetype of cohege offering such courses.We do not wish for a moment to

deny Mr. Machill the privilege ofthinking exactly as he pleases aboutState College, or any other institu—tion of higher learning in the State.However, we do wish to claim forourselves the same privilege. 'Andright here we part company with thegentleman for these reasons:

He. says we send out mechanics,not executives. Surely he knowshuman nature well enough not toexpect every college graduate to be-come. ,the. president of some power-ful concern. He overlooks the greatarmy of technically trained expertswho are called upon daily to giveadvice to the officials whom he termsexecutives. These men occupyunique places in our industrialstructure and without them the so-called “educated” class would soonstarve to death. 'Now as to the real executives: we

claim that the graduates of this col-lege find their way to the positionsof leadership in just as large num-bers as do those of any other col-lege, considering, of course, thefields in. which our men are. trained.Our claim is like Mr. MacNeill’s inthat neither is based on actualfigures. We do know, however, thatState College offers training ineighty per cent of the productive in-dustries of North Carolina. Thisfact may have no significance tothose who harp on “education forthe sake of education,” but it meanssomething to the people of thisState-the folks who own this col-lege. '

Another reason why we think Mr.MacNeill is..wr0ng is that. he disre-gards the conclusions-0f the fore-most psychologists of our time.There was a time when educationalleaders believed as he does. “’iththe advent of modern psychologythose ideas have been changed. Nolonger do We teach Latin and Greekto a lad just to give him mental ex-ercise, when he can get the. saute ex-ercise from the study of injuriousinsects on his father’s farm, orfrom the study of the forces of na-ture andlhow they may be harnessedfor man’s benefit.Of course every technical school

has to guard against the dangerwhich brought forth the severe crit-icism. We are not foolish enough tosay that we have reached the idealpoint between the broadening sub-jects and those of a purely techni-cal nature. This problem has beenrecognized at State Cd'llcge for sometime and a casual glance at our cur-riculum will convince anyone thatthis schOol is getting farthcr andfarther away from ‘a narrow special-ized training. Yet the fact that werecognize the valin- of the more lib-cral subjects is by no means anapology for technical cducation.

Lastly, in his fourth paragraph,Mr. MacXcill statcs' that in fourycars at. a profcssioual college thcavcragc. boy lcarns “a smattering ofwhat his fathcr and grandfatherkin-d" from 'pcrsonal cxpcricncc.”His other charges arc rclativc andhard to provc or disprove. but this‘onc is absurd to anyonc who is fa-

. THE TECHNICIANmiliar with the courses of studypursued at this and other technicalcolleges. Such a statement tends tobrand as worthless all of our agri-cultural experiment stations andthe information which they give tothe college boy. It seems ratherunique that this father and grand—father to whom he refers should beable to learn far more in a lifetimeby “personal experience” than thescientists of several centuries havebeen able to learrnby the ingeniousdevices known only to the student ofscience.

DAY DREAMSLast Saturday evening we were

present at one of the Freshmenmeetings. President Kendall, of theStudent Council, talked to the fel-lows about Student Government, andtold them what Would be expected ofthem. This was indeed a good thingfor Freshman and Student Gov-crnment as well. As he was ex-impressed with the interest shownby the Freshmen. Then it was thatour imagination began to run riot.Here were five hundred. boys,

thrown into a new environment.Since they are just mortals they willdo what most other mortals woulddo, and that is this: They willtake up our customs, imitate ouractions, and borrow our thoughts.Then, who can we blame if theseboys fail to live up to the standardsset by their president? Certainlywe cannot hold them responsible. Ifthey, as a group, begin to nourish adisrespect for these customs, theselaws, which are our only hope, Itwill be because they have followedin the paths of upper classmen. Andhere is where we let the imagina-tion go wild. What if these boyswould follow the instructions giventhem? What if the class of ’29should be. composed entirely of menwho held the honor of their collegetoo dear to sell for a mess of pot-tage?‘ If such a thing were to hap-pen what would be the world’s esti-mate of State College? Of coursethe majority of them are all right,and we hear someone asking whyworry about the few? Well, daydreams are sometimes pleasant—ifthey don’t get you anywhere.

THE PUBLICATIONS UNIONIII this issue there appears a news

story concerning the Students Pub-lication Union. Doubtless many ofthe new men and perchance some ofthe older ones desire to know justwhat this organization is and whatit seeks to do.

It grew out of a desire to put ourpublications, namely, THE Tscn-Nli‘IAN and The Agromcclr upon asound financial basis, and at thesame time reduce the expense ofthese publications to the student.This was accomplished by the stu-dent body asking the Board of Trus-tees to create a blanket. fee of sixdollars per year, which was to bepaid at registration. This fee tocover cost of one copy of The Agro-mchr and one yearly subscription toTHE TaciINIcIAN. The boardthought favorably of the plan so itwas adopted. Two years in opera-tion has shown the merits of thescheme. Six dollars now buys whatformerly required. nine or ten.The board itself is composed of

five members. Two of these are sc-lectcd from the 9faculty and threefrom the. students.ulty members acts as editorial ad-viser while the other acts as busi-ness adviScr. One of the studentmembers is selected from the stu—dent body at large by the studentcouncil. The others are representa-tives of the IncInhcr publicationsand arc chosen from the staffs ofthcsc, one from each publication.

This method of financing sccms tobc the solution for many of the prob-lcms of studcnt publications. “'hcrcit has bccn tricd it has givcn suc—ccss, and many of thc collcgcs ofthe statc arc now looking towardsonic such arrangcmcnt.What did your wife say ‘when you

A California text-book writer sub-Education a proposed‘text-book onarithmetic cohtaining a new type ofinstruction which he guarantees, willget results. Instead of the old braintwisters, he proposes that arithmeti-cal problems he presented in breezystyle and about subjects with whichthe student is familiar.The following is one of the pro—

posed examples: “If Bob Taylor’sred mule Absalom consumes '17 bar-rels of air at each bray, and if hebrays 13 times a day, how much airwill be consumed during the monthof April? Please include Sundays."

There’s nothing under the sun ofthe twentieth century like ”populari-zation.“ Starting as an advertisingwrinkle, the thing has passedthrough the stage of a craze into therealms of commercial necessity. Noweducation—the last outpost of anotherwise sane civilization—is be—sieged. ‘

Psychologically speaking, the “pop-ularization” of education may bequite correct: but, without pausingto solve the example, might one sug-gest that the text—books of the fu-ture may be written, not by arithme-ticlans, grammarlans,'and the like,but by the editors of humorous mag-azines and the originators of comicsupplement features.— From DailyCalifornian.

YES, RUBE’S GOING TOCOLLEGE

I saw him get on the street carthe other day ’nd he had on a brandnew suit 0' clothes ’nd a new felt hatjust for the world like one I saw ad-vertized in Sears-Roebuck last fall.He had a nice farm-coat 0' red onhis face. with a good assortment offreckles scattered plentifully aboutfor decoration, and from the expres—sion on his face one ’ud tho’t he washaving a nightmare. Guess he tho'tso, too, when someone touched thebutton to let the conductor know hewanted to get off at the next stop,for at the sound of the bell, which hetook for the alarm clock. he startedto jump out of bed Tthinking, Iguess. that he'd had a strange dreamand realizing it was now ’bout 4 a.m.and time to get the milk pails ready.But, of course, Rube didn't get quiteout of his seat before he realized thatthis was just a part of this new—fangled experience of going to col-lege. . , "

And just at this point, too, he be-gan to feelca little more at home. forhe looked across the aisle and spiedAunt Jane. 'Course he crossed overto tell her he's here and began tothink up that fifty-page letter he wasgoing to write to Ma soon as he gotsettled in his room ——how strange

but howquickly things began to seem sort 0’natural when he really settled downbeside that field of daisies on AuntJane's hat. and how it felt almostlike he was at home when he lookedat the daisjes and listened to themotor of the street car, which sound-ed for the world like the thrashingmachine back on the farm.Now we‘re not pokin' fun at R‘ube

and don’t mean to do him any harmon earth. For we all know that some

THE TEC‘I‘INICIAN

IS PROMISED A NEW HOMEPhysics Department to Occupy Part

of New Structure-By TAI. H. STAFFORD

The Department of Electrical Engi.neering at State College is to have anew home. For nearly twenty yearsthis growing division of the collegehas been housed in Winston Hallalong with the departments of CivilEngineering and Chemistry. Uponthe recommendation of President,Brooks, the board of trustees has an-thorized the erection of‘a new build-ing out of the permanent improve-ment fund provided by the last Gen-eral Assembly.

Contract for the new structure willbe awarded as soon as Hobart Up-rj‘ohn, the architect, completes theplans, and it is expected that work

., on the building will begin late in theSummer. The job will be rushed tocompletion and the building willprobably be ready for occupancy sometime- during the spring.Rapid Hydro-Electric Development

PowerHydro-electric power development

has gone forward more rapidly inNorth Carolina, and has affected thesocial and economic life of the com-munities to a greater extent than inany'other state. The period in which”this great electrical energy has beendeveloped and distributed to theworkshops and homes of the state hasbeen comparatively short.The first electrical transmission

system in North Carolina, it is said.was installed by the Fries Manufac-turing Company, of Winston-Salem, onthe Yadkin River. The installationconsisted of 1 1000 horse-power, 3-phase Stanley Alternator,‘ transmit-ting power at 10,000 volts to sevenindustrial establishments, the longestline being 3. 1-2 miles. The plantwas put in operation in April, 1898.

In 1902 there were 38 power sta-tions in the state with a generatingcapacity of 5,551 horse-power, with atotal output in energy for the yearof 8,351,346 kilowatt hours. By 1924the horse-power development in the

.state had increased to 540,500 horse-power from waterfalls and 510,500horsespower from steam plants, alldistributed and used electrically. Theaverage daily output from water-power alone was three and a half mil-lion kilowatt hours.

Demand for Trained MenThis remarkable industrial expan-

sion explains in a measure the in-creased enrollment and expansion inthe department of Electrical Engineer-ing. The demand for trained men isincreasing very rapidly, and it hasbecome necessary for State College tomake provision for additional labora-tories. more equipment and a largerteaching staff to meet the growing de-mands of this department. Since 1915nearly 1,600 students have been _en-rolled in the four-year courses inElectrical Engineering. In additi0n,several himdred men have taken theshort courses arranged for specialgroups of workers. It is a notablefact that a majority of these skilledworkers trained at State College havebeen absorbed ‘by the industries ofthe state. The positions which theyhold Tange from management to the

“engineering, operation, construction,and sales divisions. \

Physics to Share New BuildingThe new building will .be occupied

jointly by the departments of Electri-cal Engineering and Physics. theformer taking about two-thirds of thespace. while one-third will be devotedto Physics. As these tu'o departmentshave much in common, a combinedbuilding should be very satisfactoryto each. it will be located immedi-ately south of Ricks Hall, the agri-cultural extension building, and to thewest of the mechanical engineeringshops. Less than 100 yards away isthe new power ,plant which wasopened in the spring.The building, when completed. will

be 180 by 60 feet. four stories inheight on the front. with two wings,one story high. 60 by 80 feet in therear. Built of steel and reinforcedconcrete material. With a brick ex-terior. the building will be fireproof.Designed specifically for electricalengineering and physics, it will em-body the most modern thought forbuildings of this kind.

l‘licmistry and (‘ivil Engineeringto Expand

The remm‘al of Electrical Engineer-ing from Winston Hall will enable thedepartments of Civil Engineering and('hemistry to expand. Both depart-ments, are very much in need of ad-ditional space. It is probable thatat least half of the building will betennis-bed inside to provide more ade-

Electrical Industry in the StateIn discussing plans for the expan-

sion of the Electrical Engineering De-partment, Professor W. H. Browne,Jr., points out that the output of elec-tric power in North Carolina is great-er than that of any other SouthernState. He also speaks very interest-ingly of the probable growth of theindustry and indicates some of itsphases which must be developed inthe future.According to Professor Browne,

there is only one large storage reser-voir in the state, that at Bridgewater.In spite of this it has been necessaryto increase greatly the amount ofsteam power during dry seasons,which indicates a pressing need forThe total minimum horse-pOWer

available in North Carolina streamsis estimated by the U. S. GeologicalSurvey at 587,000 horse-power. (Byminimum power is meant the aver-age power of the seven-day period oflowest flow during each year.) Thesefigures include only those sites capableof developing not less than 100 horse-power. Excepting New York, this isgreater than any other state east ofthe Rocky Mountains. North Caro-lina has 25 per cent of the water-power ‘of the South Atlantic Statesand 20 per cent of the water-powerof the cotton-growing states. Themaximum power, which is that avail-able for six months of the year, is875,000 horse-power. By the use ofstorage reservoirs, this could easilybe increased to 2,000,000 horse-power.

North Carolina has 8,000 miles oftransmission lines, 4,000 miles beingof the high voltage type. Moreover;all of the large electro systems of thestate are tied together and inter-change power when necessary. Thisconstitutes a part of oiie of the larg-est and most complex transmissionsystems in the world. It would bepossible to step upon the end of theline on the North Carolina coast andwalk westward to the MississippiRiver, a distance of more than a thou-sand miles, without leaving the line.Professor Browne characterizes thisas the beginning of a real super-powersystem.

Other Electrical ProblemsMeans must 'be found. Professor

Browne states, for developing thesmall hydro-electric powers. He sug-gests that this may come through theuse of automatic stations which re-quire no attendants and only casualinspection. Economic means of sup-plying electric power to the rural dis-tricts must also be worked out. Thisis a problem that has hardly beentouched in the South.

Better protective systems must bedeveloped to reduce to a minimuminterruption in service. The mountainsections of North Carolina railwaysshould be electrified. In this connec-tion, too, a greater use should bemade of automatic signalling throughthe use of automatic railway blocksystems.

Professor Browue is of the opinionthat the state is behind in its useof telephones, particularly in therural districts, and he also urges thatmore attention he paid to the properuse of lighting devices. The methodsof using electric lamps are still crudeand more or less haphazard, he states.This applies especially to the lightingof streets in the cities and towns. Agreat many of our present systems are0 t of date and inefficient. '

Eiectro-chemistry and electro-metal-urgical processes will play an impor-at part in the development of manyaluable mineral deposits in the statewhich are at present almost un-touched.The' department of Electrical Engi~

neering at State College is vitally con-cerned with the solution of these andother electrical problems. and its largestaff of trained experts. in additionto teaching duties. carry on a variedprogram of. research that is render-ing‘a distinct service to the indus-tries uf the state.

THINK OVER THISTo the average college freshman

the idea of being a senior and holdingimportant places in the activities ofthe student body seems very remote.Yet almost before he knOWs it he willbe a sophomore. whose chief worryis the exasperating “freshness" ofthe new Freshman Class. He willsigh with relief when the burden ofthe “sophomoric” duties are. liftedfrom his hands and he becomes ajunior. He is very comfortable forashort time. until he begins to see theserious faces of the seniors as theylabor at their taSks of Student Gov-ernment, student publications. or theone hundred and one responsible du-ties placed. upon the shoulders of theSenior Class. He' begins to realizethta he has only to travel just aroundthe corner and he will he a senior.with a senior's duties upon him.Around the next curve in the roadof life he sees himself a graduate.and cast out) upon the world to makehis way in the stream of humanity.Will 'he be prepared for life by hiscollege education. or will he onlyhave a little “book learning" to showfor his college career?

It is the policy of The Technicianto start men. early in their life atState College. upon the road whichleads them to be prepared to take upthe duties of life here on elsewhere.You may study engineering all yourlife. but if you “never practice any'you will never be an engineer.

There were fifty entries in the con-test, representing more than thirty ofthe leading institutions in twelvestates. Various phases of race rela-tions Were treated, among them edu—cation, economic status, Negroachievement, the Negro church, in-terracial co-operation, and the lynch-

All the papers submittedwere of a high order, and many hadbeen delivered as orations or pub—lished in college periodicals.

Officials of the Interracial Commis-sion express themselves as greatlypleased with the results, and areplanning to conduct a similar con-test this year, full announcements ofwhich are promised in a few days.

To avoid a conflict with theCarolina-Wake Forest game at ChapelHill on Saturday, the Richmond Uni-versity management consented tocome to Raleigh on Friday instead ofSaturday.The work so far has been very

fruitful. The squad as a whole istaking shape and several teams areworking out each day.Scrimmages have been in order for

the past week, and the several teamsare beginning topplay real footballagain.There is no certainty of any posi-

tion. State lost nine of the seventeenletter men of last year. Four letterbacks are back in college this year.Red Sprague, who alternated with

~ John Jennette at quarter last year,will not return. Jennette returnedlate and has not gotten into shapefor scrimmages yet. Captain John-ston has been shifted from halfbackto this position, and it is likely thatwhen Jennette is not playing'that hewill run the team. Crum and Thomasare a pair of likely looking quartersfroni the freshman team of last year,and Thomas, who ran last year's scrubteam, are also making a bid for thequarter's position. .The Shuford brothers and Faulkner

are the other letter backfield men. Togive these men competition are Mc-Dowell, Hunsucker, Spence, Evans andBiggers of last year's freshman team.

By T.\x. H. STAFFORDT. E. Browne, State Director of V0-

cational Education, since 1917, in theState Department of Education, willhead the Department of VocationalEducation at State College, beginningwith the opening of the fall term.

Mr. Browne will continue to act asDirector of Vocational Education forthe State‘Department, thus centeringthe direction of the vocational educa-tion program of the state and theteaching training work at State Col-lege, under the direction of one man.In addition to these duties, he willalso continue as director of the StateCollege Summer School. a position hehas held for the last two years.

Mr. Browne is a native of HertfordCounty. He was educated at WakeForest College and Columbia Univer-sity, receiving the AB. degree at theformer institution in 1902. In prepa-ration for the work at State Collegehe has recently completed a year’sstudy at Columbia University wherehe received his master‘s degree.For two years after leaving Wake

Forest Mr. Browne taught English,Latin and Mathematics in the AtlanticCollegiate Institute at Elizabeth City.From 1905 until 1911 he was countysuperintendent of schools for Hert-ford County, and for three years ofthis period, 1908 through 1911, he alsoacted as farm demonstration agent forthe same county. From 1911 through1913 he served as district agent forfarm demonstration work for EasternNorth Carolina, when he was madeassistant state agent and placed incharge of Boys’ Club work. He he-came director of vocational educationin the State Department in 1917.Based upon statistical information

compiled from the Annual Reports ofthe supervisors of Vocational Educa-tion who head up the four depart-ments of the Division of VocationalEducation in North Carolina, thestate’s standing is very. gratifying.North Carolina has succeeded in at-taining a position of prestige in allfour activities of the Division of V0-cational Education and is looked uponboth by the Federal Department andby the other Southern States as hav-

in the state, and the problem for thecollege deals with the organizationand development of the correspondingteacher-training work.

it is a great advantage profession-ally to have these two lines of re-lated work directed by one man, sincehe can aid materially in unifying thework of the agricultural extensionagents and the training of‘ agricul-tural teachers under the direction ofthe college, with that of the agricul-tural high schools under the Depart-ment, of Etwcation. Moreover, ashead of the Department of VocationalEducation in the college, Mr. Brownewill give direction to the professionaltraining of the extension agents, theteachers of agriculture, teachers ofindustrial arts, teachers. of trade andindustrial subjects, and teachers ofscience. which again will emphasizeco-operation between the agencies con-cerned with these particular programsin the state.-

This year the fair will be held inthe State Fair grounds during theweek of the State Fair. The paradewill probably be held on Tuesday.The secretary. J. P. Shaw, has a pre-mium list that is valued at nearly$1,000. He and the president, H. W.Taylor, have been working since Sep-tember 1st in order to get the pre-mium list printed early. Every manhas a chance to win a prize by put-ting on an exhibit or entering a judg-ing contest. Mr. Walborn, managerof the State Fair, has given permis-sion to use any of the animals at thefair for the judging Work. There isalways keen competition in the judg-ing contest. “(lo-operation Necessary for SuccessThe men who have been here be-fore know what it means to stage afair. and when the call is soundedthey will be ready. The new menshould be equally willing to help ina cause that will give them good train-ing and advertise the college to thepeople of North Carolina.New men who are taking agricul-ing attained the position of leader-I ture are urged to go to the Agricul-ship in this particular field.

In Agricultural Education, thestate has made remarkable progress,not. only in its day-school program,but also in reaching the boys andmen in the communities of the voca-tional schools who are not in school.This is done "through the organiza-tion of short-unit, parbtime and even-ing-school programs, by means ofwhich the teachers of agriculture takethe instruction out to the farmers andout-of-school boys of the communities.During the year closing June 30, 1925,there were 5,295 pupils receiving in-struction from the teachers of Voca-tional Agriculture in North Carolina.For the previous year. which is thelast year We have final record ofsupervised practice work. the net re-turns from the superVised practice ofthe students of vocational agriculturewas something more than $500,000.The state has made the same re-

markable strides forward in HomeEconomics Education, with specialemphasis the past year on the even-ing school program by which instruc-tion in home-making is taken to thehousekeepers of the cities and indus-trial communities. There were some-thing more than 5,000 girls and wom-en instructed by teachefi of HomeEconomics in the public schools, par-tially supported by funds from theDivision of Vocational Education.The departments of Trade and In-dustrial Education and of Vocational

Rehabilitation have both gone forwardwith so much success that they haveattained a place of leadership amongthe Southern, States.

THE LESSON OF THE DEEPRIVER MINE TRAGEDYBy A. F. GRi:A\’i:s-W.A.r.ki:k

Professor of Ceramic Engineering atState College

One of the several unfortunate re-sults of the Carolina Mine catastro-phe is that it will retard the develop-ment of'the mining industry in NorthCarolina for several years. This ap-plies especially to coal mining; butthe psychological effect will be feltin all other branches of mining.

Before Campbell and Kimball of theU. S. Geological Survey, co—operatingwith the N. C. Economic and Geologi-cal Survey, made the first real surveyof the Deep River coal fields in 1922.coal mining in North Carolina neverhad a chance. Since that time, withdefinite data as to the geology of thefields and the characteristics of thecoal available, business interests haveinvested approximately half a milliondollars, and further investments werein prospect for the immediate future.

It should be borne in mind thatlack of capital and of geological andmining knowledge were alone respon-sible for the failures in the field pre-vious to 1922. With 64,000,000 tonsof recoverable coal of high quality ina seam over 40 inches thick, therecan be no question of the economicvalue of the deposit. The miningproblems involved are no greater thanthose encountered in many of thelarger fields of this country andEurope, and it can safely be said thatthe explosion hazards are equaled orexceeded in many of the Alabama,Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Wyomingmines. 7

It is not necessary to go back verymany years to remember the largenumber of mine explosions occurringin this country annually, explosionsthat took toll of hundreds of lives ata time. Such disasters have becomerare in recent years and for two rea-sons;: (1) the efforts of the U. S.Bureau of Mines to make mining safeand (2) the appointment of expertmine inspectors by the various states.The Bureau of Mines has done its partprincipally through research and ad-vice, the mine inspectors have,through constant inspections, seen toit that mining hazards Were reducedto a minimum. ,The Deep River seam has been

known for many years as one inwhich every precaution must be taken.No doubt the operators. knowing this,were careful, as not only were thelives of their miners at stake, buttheir investments also. Long im-munity from accidents, however. al-ways breeds carelessness on the partof employees. And miners are no-toriously careless as a class. This isbut natural in such a hazardous oc-cupation. Any man working undersuch conditions must inbe a fatalist, and fatalists are alwaystaking chances.

It will never be known what causedthe Carolina Mine explosion. Ashovel striking a rail or wheel, a pickstriking a piece of hard rock, asmashed light globe or a short circuitmay have produced the fatal sparkthat set off the explosive mixture ofgas and air or dust and air.\~9n theother hand, matches carried by someof the miners may have been respon-sible. The writer has himselfknocked a cigarette from a miner'smouth in a coal mine in' which smok-ing was strictly prohibited. The factthat some miners carried matches intothe mine, which was undoubtedlyagainst ‘company‘s rules, shows howfutile 'rules are that have not some-

THE TECHNICIAN\thing more than company authority" AN INVITATION FROMbehind them. ‘How can a repetition of such acci—

reports dents be prevented and the confidencenecessary to build up a mining indus-try in the state be regained? In oneway only—the appointment of a min-ing engineer by the state who willregularly inspect all the mining ope-rations in the state. It is realizedthat with the industry so little de-veloped this may seem a heavy finan-cial'charge. but it would take manyyears’ salary of even a high salariedengineer to equal the loss to the statein lives and material. occasioned bythe Coal (lien catastrophe. Nor wouldit be necessary to employ a full-timeman fpr this work. An expert couldhe brought from the Alabama, Vir-ginia 0r Pennsylvania fields everythree months until such time as theindustry warranted full-time services.With the promised early developmentof the large copper and nickel re-sources of 4he southwestern part ofthe state. this may not be a long wayoff. .. ‘

It is not generally known that whatpromised to be the development of alarge copper mine in Swain Countywas nipped in the bud last fall by anexplosion of dynamite in the handsof inexperienced miners, that killedthe entire crew and blew in the mainentry, and for the time being at leastdiscorrraged the Northerners who werefinancing the enterprise.» Such an ac-cident could never have happenedunder proper mining inspection as anexperienced “shooter" would havebeen required.of a Department of Mining Engineer-

THE PULLEN SOCIETYAmong the so-called “outside"

tivities at State College are the liter-ary societies. Pullen and Leazar.Both of these organizations are striv-ing toward the same goal; that is,to train men to express their thoughtsin a clear and concise manner in orderthat the other fellow may see_clearlywhat they are thinking about. Boththese societies are doing a high gradeof work and there is not much differ-ence between them except the names.The men for whom they were named

were actuated by one purpose, to giveto the State of North Carolina aninstitution in which its youth mightreceive the training necessary to en-able them to develop the agriculturaland industrial resources of the state.There is probably no other singlemethod or course of study that willgive larger returns for the time andlabor invested than the time spent in

ac-

the halls of these literary societies.Read the names of the alumni whohave made good a the names of themajority of them 'will be found in therecords of one of the literary socie-ties. The mere'fact that the nameof a man, is on the roll does not mean’that he is going to derive benefit——but the man who is willing to putSomething into this Work is the manwho is going to profit.To the new men who are here we

N. C. STATE OFFERS NEWCOURSES IN CERAMICS

By A. I". Gsrmvss-WxtmmProfessor of Ceramic Engineering

I: " September 9,1925.The opening of State College in

September will mark the beginningof the actual teaching of Ceramic En-gineering in North Carolina. Whilethe department of Ceramic Engineer-ing at the local institution was or-ganized last September, and a num-ber of students were registered, thedepartment during the past year de-voted itseif entirely to developing acurriculum that would suit the needsof North Carolina and the South, andto the development of the ceramic re-sources and industries of the state.

Bright FutureThe new department begins its

teaching work under the most promis-ing- circumstances. To date fifteenstudents have applied for admissionto the department or have expressedtheir intention of registering in it.This is a larger number than any ofthe other ceramic departments in thecountry registered during the first fiveyears of their existence. Undoubtedlythere will be an increase in this num-ber before the freshmen register onSeptember 11.

Splendid CurriculumEvery effort has been made to offer

a curriculum that will meet the de-mands. of the rapidly developingceramic industries of North Carolinaand the rest of the country. Engi-neering subjects and economics havebeen particularly stressed in orderthat the graduate may be able to as-sist in the development of. the me-chanical processes involved in thevarious branches of the industry thatare so rapidly replacing hand labor,and to be prepared to fill executivepositions. The courses in ceramicswill-especially stress structural clayproducts because it is along this linethat the industry offers the greatestpossibility of development in NorthCarolina and the South.Considerable attention will also be

given to Portland cements, metal en-amels. sanitary wares, glass, whitewares, and porcelains because the de-velopment of these branches of theceramic industry, which do not atpresent exist in the state, depends en-tirely upon the training of men withthe knowledge to promote and takecharge of plants manufacturing theseproducts.State Rich in (‘eiamlc ResoulcesNorth Carolina is extremely rich

in undeveloped ceramic resources.Aside from its shales, which are equalor superior to any in the entire coun-

‘ try, it produces more than fifty percent of all the feldspar mined on thecontinent and practically all of theprimary kaolin. These latter mineralsform the basis of the tremendouswhite ware, sanitary ware, wall tile,electrical .porcelain, and enamelediron industries.

New Ceramic LaboratoriesEvery effort is being made to com-

plete the new ceramic engineeringlaboratories before the fall termopens. These laboratories will beamong the best equipped in the coun-try.and will contain full-sized equip-ment. This will give the student anunusual .opportunity for practicaltraining before going out into the in-dustries. . .At the present time there is but one.graduate in ceramic engineering con-nected with the ceramic industries in

lessin the United States andThese few men are distri-

industries with acapital of more than three billion dol-lars and an annual output valued atThe demand forCeramic engineers has never been sogreat, and it is constantly growing.

In addition to the courses'for students in residence, the department isoffering courses inxCeramic Engineering, carrying college credit, by corre-spondence. This is a decided innovation in college extension work, StateCollege being the .first institution inthe world to offer this branch of engineering by correspondence. Thesecourses are especially designed to assist those engaged in the: industrywho have not had technical training

Can a. Father ShoulderLife’s Knocks For Son?

Dad Fears “The Freshman” WillGet Either His Heart or HisNeck Broken at SchOol'

How, many parents have wishedthey could save their children fromthe hard bumps of ‘life! It is anatural, human wish, that, to pro-tect your own from unpleasantthough character-building experi-ences. and the wise will let youthlearn its own lessons.The father. of Harold Lamb, the

character portrayed by Harold Lloydin his newest Pathe picture, “TheFreshman," feared, when his sonstarted for college,» that he was infor trouble. ”I'm afraid,” he toldhis wife, ”they’ll either break Har-old's heart or his neck if he imitatesthat movie actor at college."And Dad's prophecy proved true!

They broke‘ his heart—but not hisspirit, and in the end he triumphedover the great obstacle—the derisionof his fellow-students. It happenedlike this: Harold’s wants were sim-ple—he only wanted everything incollege, from the dean to the' dullestclod—to idolize him—to look uponhim as the prince of regular fellows.He wanted not only to be voted themost popular chap in school, but themost popular of all the heroes thathad gone before. That was all!

So he’went to college, a freshmanarmed with a bag of tricks copiedafter the hero of a college movie hehad seen. These were carefully re-hearsed for weeks before the greatday when Tate College would openits arms to receive the best fellow ithad ever known.

Harold didn't have a chance tb getaway from the depot onthe day ofhis arrival, before his tricks gave himaway to an upper‘ class bully whomade Simon Legree look like theGood Samaritan; “Pipe the latestsport-model freshman with the old-fashioned trimmings," observed thisterror of the freshman. “Let's ridehim!” It was great sport to thesepranksters, for Harold’s sincerity andeagerness to do the thing that wouldmake everyone like him, made himan easy prey to their rough riding.

Day by day in every way Haroldthought he was getting to be a big-ger and better fellow. Hadn’t hedone everything they told him hemust do to become popular? Hadn’the spent money on them right andleft? And given a big party at thetown's leading hotel? Didn’t theycall him Speedy the Spender? Andhe had made the football team! Butthat was where the catch was. Hewas only kidded into believing hewas a sub on the team. In reality hewas only the water boy, and when to the bone."this staggering truth was told him——his heart, as his father feared, was hatf'broken.

“The Freshman," as written bySam Taylor, John Grey, Ted Wildeand Tim Whelan, aimed to be dra—matic as well as comical; tense in its

LARGEST OF A L TIMEOn Monday, September 7, the first

Freshman made his appearance 0 thecampus, green, smiling, and e er tojointhe student body. Soon a ter hisarrival many new faces began to ap-pear, also the “Old Timers” begancoming in. Friday morning the grandrush began—that of registering Fresh-men. Monday, old students beganregistering. By Wednesday night1,129 had gone through the Registrar's“mill” and a “Student body" made areality again.Any one passing through the rooms

and halls of Holladay during registra-tion time could hardly keepfrom notic-ing the orderliness of everyone. Laugh-ing, talking over old times, and meet-ing new students was the order ofevents.‘

Retailing today is a field of oppor-tunity for the right type of college-trained man or woman. There aremore opportunitiesin retailing for col-lege trained men and women than inany other line of commercial activity.In one of our large department storesthere are more positions paying $5,000a year and upwards than in the larg-est bank in New York City. Thepresident 'of a prominent New, Yorkdepartment store stated recently thathe had over fifty women in his em-ploy drawing $5.000 and upward.Figures prove: that college gradu-

ates with the patience to get experi-ence, with the ability to adjust them-selves and with executive' qualitieswould have a more rapid advancementin position and salary in retailingthan in any other field. Promotioncomes as quickly as the graduate isprepared to take it. It is well for acollege man or woman to investigateclosely his or her adaptation for andhe opportunities offered in the newp fession of retailing.

e field of retailing is c mpara-tively new as a profession calling forcollege graduates. During last spring,it is estimated that three times asmany merchants as in previous yearstook an active part in seeking collegegraduates. It is safe to estimate thatduring the last ‘year more collegegraduates entered the field of retail-ing than in the previous twenty-fiveyears.The merchant today must rely‘ upon

the trained mind in order to securethe assistance necessary to solve thedaily increasing complex problems ofthe department store. The problemsof retailing with the increase in thesize of the store are becoming. in-creasingly more difficult. These prob-lems require the attention of men andwomen trained and able to observeclosely, analyze keenly, think straightand reach the decision that should bemade under particular circumstances.These are the executive qualitiesthat merchants are looking for, but it

should be borne in mind that thesequalities alone do not spell success.A college graduate may possess these

‘ qualities, but without qualities of ad-justment he will likely fail. The‘lat-

'ter qualities should be emphasized inour colleges. The lack of these ac-count“ for the large percentage of fall-ures of college graduates in business.These qualities are: the ability to ad-just himself or herself to conditionsthat daily arise; the ability to meetpeople well and make them like himor her; the patience to master thedetails of the situation.For years it was believed that a

college trained"‘a man to deliver astated product. This was an errone-ous idea. A college degree is only atool in the hands of a young man orwoman entering retailing. It is notto be brandished before fellow-work-ers, but should be kept in the back-ground. It should be easy for thecollege graduate to develop the quali-ties of observing closely, analyzingkeenly and thinking straight. At thesame time it is necessary for the col-lege man or woman to realize thatwhat is taught in the classroom willnot take the place of actual experi-ence behind the counter or on thefloor. The classroom will only assistin mastering fundamental principlesand in developing executive qualities,but experience must be secured in thelaboratory of the store. Patience be-comes a virtue in acquiring this prac-tical angle.What the executive especially needs

is a lifelong interest in analysis‘ofhuman nature. He or she needs for abackground a study of such subjectsas psychology, economics, and gen-eral business ecurses. While the spe-cific knowledge thus obtained is notdirectly applicable to retailing. thevalue lies in the broad viewpoint de-veloped. the training ' in quick andlogical thinking. and in the art ofgetting along with people. Thesethen need to be followed by specificcourses in the fundamental principlesof retailing, backed up with experi-ence.The college graduate who would suc-ceed must not only have ambition. in-

telligence and energy, but must con-quer all petty weaknesses of conductand control all personal failings.Temper, prejudice and conceit arefatal handicaps.

Retail executives are of two groups:the merchandising group and non-merchandising group. The merchan-dising executives, both‘men and wom-en. are expected to be specialists in

Thegeneral manager, controller and ad-vertising manager might receive any-where from $5,000 to_$30,000 a year.according to their powers and re-sponsibilities. Department managers—-or, as they are) often called—buy-ers—might receive anywhere from$2,500 to $25,000 a year, includingcommissions, and merchandise man-agers perhaps $10,000 or more.Young men and women in our col-

leges should investigate the oppor-tunities offered them in the field ofretailing.The Department of Business Admin-

istration at State College offers spe-cialized courses for such students in-terested in retailing in their juniorand .senior years. Welldevelopedgraduate and extension courses havealso been arranged.

CRAVEN CO. MEN TO MEETAll men from Craven County are

requested to meet in the Y. M. C. A...Saturday immediately after dinner.The purpose of this meeting is toelect officers for the year and discussplans for carrying on the programstarted last year of acquainting thefolks at home with the college. Thisclub was the first one of its kind tocooperate with the college officialsin sending Tm: TECHNICIAN to thehigh schools bf the county. The planworked fine last year, and it is hopedthat a similar arrangement can bemade this year. It is especially de-sired that every Freshman from‘ thecounty be present at this meeting sothat every one'niay become acquaint-ed. Some of the old members statethat no fees will be collected at thismeeting so a full attendance is ex-pected.Seeing a man who,was training for

cross-country dash past, an old ladyexclaimed: Oh, the poor fellow! Somemean thief has stolen his clothes andhe’s cha‘sing him.

wFRESHMAN CLASS MEETS are required to attend chapel threeWITH PRESIDENT KENDALLSing the College Songs and Give the

Yells With Much EnthusiasmWhatever else our Freshmen can do

or can’t do, they can sing and theycan yell. Last Saturday night the newmen were'oalled‘to meet for the pur-pose of getting acquainted with! Stu-dent Government. H. E. Kendall,president of the Student Council,made the principal talk and was as-sisted by “Daddy" Price and AltonMclver.About five hundred of the new men

were assembled in Pullen Hall to meettheir Student Government president.He gave them some of the facts con-cerning Student Government andsome of the ideals which we shallwork toward during this year. Thenthe by-laws were rthken up individu-ally by the speaker and explained.The Court of Customs came in for ashare‘f‘of explanation, and, above all,those Freshman rules. Not only isthe Freshman expected to abide bythese, but he must be able to recitethese at any time. This was pointedout to the fellows, and most of themseemed very anxious to co-operatewith the officials.Another duty which the new men

accepted with quite a bit of enthusi-asm was singing the college songs andgiving the yells. Captain Price ledthe songs and expressed himself asvery well gratified with the result.He plans to have some real groupsinging this year since the Freshmen

Seldomwas it necessary for the leader to goover the yells more than once beforethe crowd caught the swing, and fromthen on they sounded like veterans.It is expected that‘the new men willhave fully mastered the songs andyells before the first game, which willbe played September 25.
