"Fame and the Poet a one-act
play by Lord Dunsany, was presented
by the English Club on Friday night,
November 13, in honor of the North-
eastern Divison of the North Carolina
Teachers' Association.
The scene was laid in the poet's
sanctuary, a room greatly enriched by
the colorful red draperies, which were
outlined in a black border. The time
and place of the play were "anytime,
anywhere, but long after Homer's
day
When the curtains opened, the poet,
Harry de Renes, or Kathryn Johnson,
dressed in the blue smock so typical of
poets, was seated at the piano and
softly playing. Soon Bertha Walston,
as Prattles, a member of the Royal
Horse Marines, entered, dressed in the
red and gold uniform, gauntlets, sabre,
and high boots, typical of that posi-
tion. Prattles opinion of poetry was:
"I'd chuck it if there was no money in
it
After Prattles had gone, the poet,
meditating on what he had said, de-
cided to tear down the alter he had
erected to Fame and to begin anew.
The removal of the two beautifully
draped screens revealed the artisti-
cally prepared altar; but more than
that, it revealed the Goddess Fame.
F.thel Parker, gracefully attired in a
white flowing robe of goddesses, with
her trumpet by which she announced
the poet's fame to the gathering
world, was an excellent Fame.

tractions.
On Thursday, November 12, 1931,
Dr. and Mrs. Slay and Miss Cassidy
went to Raleigh to see Mr. H. H.
Brimey, Directory of North Carolina
State Museum, for the purpose of be-
coming acquainted with museum work.
For two hours Mr. Brimey showed
them the different things which the
State Museum possesses. He also
showed the party the ways in which
different specimens are prepared.
As a start, Mr. Brimey donated to
the museum a collection of labeled
North Carolina minerals which will
be here in two or three weeks. He
also gave a rattle snake which is not
especially for the museum but which
is and will be very interesting.
Already several other donations have
been made among which are�talc,
blue and white marble, and cork.
The State Museum has given our
Science Department a start. Now
won't you keep it going? Bring in
all the material which you think will
be of interest and worth preparing for
the new Museum.

NEWS ITEMS OF INTEREST
Enthusiastic onlookers held their
breath as the preliminary inter-class
basket ball games between the Juniors
and Sophomores; Seniors and Fresh-
men played Saturday, Nov. 21. After
a hard fight from all classes the
games ended with Seniors and Juniors
winning over Freshmen and Sopho-
mores.
The first game was played between
the Juniors and Sophs. In the first
quarter it seemed that the Juniors
were going to have an easy victory,
but the Sophs came back stronger
each quarter, and when the whistle
sounded the close of the fourth quar-
ter the Juniors claimed only one point
in the lead.
The splendid work of the guards
was outstanding, while the forwards
of both teams rewarded them by ring-
ing goal after goal.
Following the game the Seniors and
Freshmen battled on the court. The
game moved rapidly forward with the
Seniors in the lead with a score of
4-12 at the end of the first quarter.

other night after dining on a meal of
wheat, served at an average cost of

The guests partook of an eight
course dinner of which the basis was
whole wheat. It was the invention of
Dr. Brown and was heralded as a
partial solution for the relief work
which is now confronting practically
every community in the nation.
Its succes was acclaimed by those
present as well as relief workers from
sections of the county where the meal
has been tried.
The meal here was given as a prac-
tical demonstration of what can be
done with wheat. A cereal soup,
made by boiling and straining wheat,
seasoned with salt and pepper, was
served first. Then followed a wheat

All people desire success: few at-
tain what they define as success.
Ask the youth if he has attained
success and he wjll answer immedi-
ately that he has not, but that he
hopes to do so: ask the middle-aged
man and his answer will be the
same: ask the old man and he will
tell you, if he is wise, that no per-
son is ever successful in his own
estimation. Perhaps, the reason
for such answers is the fact that
success is not only an abstract but
also a relative term.
One philosopher in discussing
this topic, says: "Success can
never come ready to wear, done up
in a neat package and handed a-
cross the counter. Success will
always be home-made. Those who
expect success to be delivered at
their front doors are going to be
disappointed. Success is a mixture
of common duties well done. We
cut it from the materials of our
days and sew it together by our
actions into the kind of success it
becomes
potential volume of melody than the
fact, more than two million American
children are taking private music les-
sons, at a cost of about $144,000,000
a year.
Besides this, the public schools in
more than 100 cities are giving group
piano and instrument lessons. And
that isn't all. It seems that there
were more grand pianos sold last year
than in any previous period in the
history of the piano business, and
there are still more grand piano pros-
pects listed with dealers than ever be-
fore.
Mr. Otto B. Heaton, president of
the National Association of Music
Merchants during the past gala year
in musical history, has made some in-
teresting discoveries about music. He
says:
"Music is the fourth great material
want of human nature. First comes
food, then clothing, then shelter, then
music. It is an energizing spirit
which never dies. Tunes make deep
and lasting impressions which cheer
and refresh men's minds, as occasion
arises
It is noteworthy also that symphony
orchestras are increasing in popular-
ity. Not only does the public attend
concerts, but it is discerning enough
to select the best artists, who attract
the bulk of box office receipts.
Paderewski's appearances last year,
alone, resulted in the sale of $500,000
worth of tickets. McCormack, Kreis-
ler and Rachmaninoff were next in
order.
Music even has been introduced in-
to hospitals for the insane, with de-
finite results for improvement in
patients and their control. It is the
best unifier in the world, for music
is necessarily harmony. It is the
best bond of comradeship and co-
operation.

On Sunday morning, November 22,
1931, at 11:00 o'clock, the Eastern
Division of the Methodist Episcopal
Church held its morning session in the
Social-Religious building of the East
Carolina Teachers College. Approxi-
mately three thousand people heard
the address of Bishop Mouzon, the
chief speaker.
Following inspiring music by the
choir and the audience, Dr. Johnson
led in prayer, after which the audi-
ence recited in union the first Psalm.
Mr. Mouzon read Issiah for the
scripture lesson.
President Robert H. Wright, of the
college made a short address of wel-
come, expressing the college's great
delight in being able to be host to the
Conference at that time. Mr. Mou-
zon responded to the welcome by say-
ing that it was entirely fit that such
a meeting should be held in the audi-
torium of the school as education and
religion had to go hand in hand in
order for either to be lasting and ef-
fective.
Mr. Mouzon began his address by
reading his text: James 1: 27, "Pure
religion and undefiled before God and
the Father is this, To visit the father-
less and the widows in their afflic-
tion and keep thyself unspotted from
the world
"Religion is the deepest and most
wide spread of all human interests.
It appears in different forms and in
different degrees all over the world
and throughout all the centuries. It
is not possible in a few words to tell
just what religion is. It may help us
here however to say a few words of
what people through the ages have
said religion is. Seneca said, 'Reli-
gion is knowing God and imitating
Him�a good definition for a man
outside the Christian sphere. Matthew
Arnold's definition is well known�
'Religion is morality plus emotion
What he has failed to do is to say
what creates the emotion. The great
Dante' said that 'Religion has a three-
fold reverence: reverence for what is
above, for what is beneath, and for
what is around Another has said,
'Religion is the absolute feeling of
dependence on God�the stress in his
definition being on the word 'feeling
In all these definitions there is some-
thing left out, because it is impossible
to describe. However my definition
of religion would be something like
this: 'Religion is the interpretation
of the universal in terms of personal-
ity and terms of faith that God is the
heart of all things That definition
is fundamentally correct in everything
that it includes, it does leave some
things out, but we will use it this
morning. Jesus Christ never did at-
tempt to define it� he never argued
about anything, he affirmed. He said,
'Pure religion and undefiled before
God and the Father is this, to visit the
fatherless and the widow in their af-
iiication and to keep thyself unspot-
ted from the world
"The Gospel of Saint James when
it says that Pure religion and unde-
filed is to visit the fatherless and the
widow merely means active charity
and moral purity. I never could un-
derstand that passage until one day
when reading my Greek Testament I
found that the word translated Reli-
gion is not the word we use today.
When I took down my Greek Testa-
ment I found that this was the defini-
tion given for the word 'Religion
'Religion, the established customs fol-
lowed in rituals and ceremonies
Then I was enlightened as to this
verse. This is the formal religion of
the church, the ritual, the form of
ceremony: to visit the fatherless and
the widows and to keep theyself un-
spotted from the world. Then I look-
ed at some modern translations of this
passage and found it given thus:
'Observance of standards in the sight
of man and of God Now to me this
is indeed a most remarkable passage.
And at this time in the. history of the
world we need it more than it has
probably ever been needed before.
"Jesus Christ brought into this
world a new enthusiam; he brought
into the world an enthusiam for hu-
manity, for kindness, and brotherly
love. Every nation has thought that

You never realize how much that

fresh courage and a determination to

eva, Switzerland, delegates from
those countries which are mem-
bers of the League of Nations
together with the delegates from
countries, such as Russia, Tur-
key, and the United States ties vamsh hfe seems tru,y sweet
which are not members of the
League, will assemble for the
first World Disarmament Con-
ference ever held. It has al-
ready been described as "the
most far-flung complex and por-
tentous conference thus far at-
tempted in the history of the
world On its outcome prob-
ably hangs the direction toward
world disintegration or world
order of the next decade and
perhaps far more. The busi-
ness of the conference will be to
bring about a limitation and re-
duction of armaments.
We are in the midst of a
crisis of world-wide extent. In-
dustry and commerce are so pro-
foundly affected that millions
are unemployed. The world's fi-
nancial system is strained to the
breaking point. Intolerable con-
ditions have led to revolutions
in many countries and to dicta-
torship in others. Further un-
rest and turmoil seem inevitable.
Communism, claiming success in
Russia, with large followings in
Germany, China, and elsewhere,
is an increasing challenge to
those countries where discontent
is growing and conditions are
becoming steadily worse.
One of the chief causes of the
present crisis is the Great War.
In that struggle, industry and
commerce were so completely
disorganized that they have not
been able to readjust themselves,
in spite of years of painful ef-
fort. Many economists are con-
vinced that adjustment will be
possible only by radical reorgan-
ization of our whole economic
system. The strain in the finan-
cial structure of the world is also
directly related to the War, with
its terrible destruction of pro-
perty and its enormous accumu-
lations of debts leading to heavy
increases in taxation. Desperate
attempts in several countries to
save themselves by inflating
their currencies have led to in-
evitable depreciation and disas-
ter. The rivalries, hatred, and
suspicion left behind by the War
This innocent little phrase can
arouse more consternation within me
the minute that it is said than all
other known phrases. Why do peo-
ple use it? It is no expression; it
adds nothing to one's conversation be-
cause other things are never equal.
And yet so many of us hang it on to
the end of every sentence.
If it were possible for phrases to
flare up and get angry with us for
using them mercilessly "other things
being equal" would be at war continu-
ously with many of us.
Keats has said, "Beauty is truth;
truth beauty. That is all ye know on
earth and all ye need to know This
quotation proves to us that man has
no absolute need for "other things
being equal as it is neither beautiful
nor truthful. Then why don't we quit
using it?
Of course I realize that the vocabu-
lary of some speakers and writers
would be lost if this innocent little
overworked phrase were entirely re-
moved from it. That would be too
disasterous! And far be it from me
to be destructive! Why don't some of
these new inventions that are always
coining new words and changing pro-
nunciations invent a phrase to take
the place of "other things being
equal"? Really it has served its
term. But relief seems a long way
off. However, until then, little phrase,
you have my heartfelt sympathy.
Of course, if you were among the
majority of those who went home for
ihat after all that education they'd! the vacation, you reported such a
have better sense, but they haven't, "corking" time that you don't even
They spend four years in high school, want to listen to the report of those of
two years at a teachers' college, a � u
couple of years at summer school, and i p
then get married six months after
graduating to the proprietor of a fill-
ing station and think that they've dons
something wonderful.
Woman-teachers arc dangerous
animals. I've known of eligible youn
men in a community to resist Itu
wiles and snares of local charmers f i
many years, only to succumb at th
feet of the first good-looking school-
marm who happens to come to town.
When a woman-teacher makes up her
mind to land a man, that particular
man might just as well give up strug-
gling. I know whereof I speak, be-
cause I married a teacher myself.
I'm a trustee of the college and I
visit it occasionally, trying to look as
dignified as possible, and making a
poor success out of the attempt. Still,
I think it is entirely uncalled for when
some of the would-be teachers snicker
right out loud as I pass by. I don't
like it at all.
And when it comes to snickering, I
could do some of it myself, only I'm
too polite. Heinz became famous be-
cause of his 57 varieties of pickles.
The East Carolina Teachers College
ought to be famous for its different
varieties of shapes. There are tall
girls, short girls, fat girls and skinny
girls, to say nothing of some that
seem to be slightly warned in their
lower extremities. There are some
whose faces make you lose all sense
of time, and there are others whose
faces would stop a clock. The two
parts of that last sentence sound
alike, but they mean something alto-
gether different.
One time, a number of years ago,
I stood on the brink of the Grand
Cannon and gazed with unconcealed
awe upon the wonders cf nature
spread out before me. I get the same
feeling every time I see those girls
at the Teachers College gathered to-
gether.
Still, I reckon you can't blame the
poor girls for the way they look. Un-
doubtedly it is the results of associa-
tion. You see, 'way back yonder in
those days when Greece was the big
shot among the countries of the
world, folks had a particularly keen
eye for the beautiful. They insisted
upon having good-looking educational
leaders. All of their men-teachers
were stalwart, well-built, heroic-fig-
ured, superbly-muscled individuals.
They acted as an inspiration to their
pupils. A real, genuine, honest-to-
goodness inspiration. Since then,
hoWever, ideas have changed along
this line. The students at East Caro-
lina Teachers College now have before
them such specimens of male pulchri-
tude as Bob Wright, Ralph Deal and
Howard McGinnis. No wonder the
poor girls can't make a better show-
heartedly thankful, or. were our cere-
monies cold and meaningless? Did
we do the best to preserve the high
ideals of our forefathers? Or
we allowed it to become as a i

ExcitementSure, it was just as
exciting here as it could be. The "Y"

ties, and the Browsing Room was well
filled with those seeking a calmer
scene. And speaking of going to
town�well, yes we did have to sign
off; but what difference did that
make? We went when we got ready,

ITEMS OF INTEREST
" It's all over now! On the night of
the twentieth final initiation was ad-
ministered to the new numbers ef the
Co-ed Club. They met in the Co-ed
room promptly at seven o'clock and
were fixed up in typical freshman
style. Lipstick and rouge were prom-
inent on their faces. A parade to the
Campus building followed singing.
"How Green I Am
One of the most interesting con-
tests of the initiation was to see which
boy could drink a coco-cola the quick-
est through a nipple with the last one
through getting a stimilus. This con-
test proved that Sam Quinnerly need-
ed more practice as he was the last

i men marched its future members into
the lower part of the building and
only the new members can tell just

j told Kenny MacDougall, 150 pounds
of Minnesota flying football fury, that
i ho was too small to play the game,
i but the diminutive Scot has showed
I 'cm with a smashing display of brilli-
ance.
He wa sat his best in the recent de-
struction of Iowa. He was only in
the game 25 minutes but he scamper-
ed across for two touchdowns, re-
ceived three passes for considerable
yardage and generally made himself
useful.
Henry Oglesby was released this
week from Pitt Community Hospital,
where he had undergone an operation.
The girls may be glad to see Henry
back in school next week, but not
nearly so much as the boys. His op-
eration is healing nicely and all will
soon be well since Henry will soon re-
turn to the fold. It is sincerely hoped
that he will not lose this term's work,
because Henry is a senior and is plan-
ning on graduating this year. The
best of luck is extended by all the Co-
eds to you, Henry, and we are sure
that all the girls, members of the
faculty, and the Administration Offi-
cials do likewise.

Daily News has raised a protest
against the scheduling of a football
game with a small school in prepar-
ation for the Harvard game.
"Where said the News, "is the
good old 'devil-may-care' spirit which
does not stoop to petty things, which
plays football for the fun of playing
the game, and not for the hope that
she (Yale) may prove herself a su-
perior institution by defeating her
adversary in athletics?"
Yale played St. John's, while Har-

New York�(IP)�A "beating up"

tor of the Columbia Spectator, by
members of the Columbia University
football team, if he persists in writing
editorials to the effect that the alumni
of the university are secretly passing
ut sums of money to members of the
grid squad.
Whoever is assigned to do the "beat-
ing up" will have a tough time of it,
however, for Harris weighs no less
than 215 pounds and once played foot-

Miss Cassidy suffered a series of
disappointments week before last.
It was like this. According to some
Scientific Works there is a shower of
meters every Novembers. Every 33
year they are supposed to be very
prominent. Well this is the 33rd year.
So on the morning of two weeks ago,
Miss Cassidy fixed the alarm for
4:30 A. M and up she bounces to see
the shower of meters. On Sunday
morning there was to be the greatest
shower. At 3:30 A. M. the alarm
goes off, and up comes Miss Cassidy.
You might ask her what happened to
all of the meteors if you are in-
terested.

.vere the only one. The barbarian
were called such because their lan-
guage was unintelligible to the other
people; and all that they said seemed
intelligible was Bar, Bar; and so they
)ocame known as barbarians. People
used to think that if a man could say
m his death bed, 'I have done nothing
but good to my friends and nothing
but evil to my enemies that he was
;ure to be saved in the great here-
after. But Jesus brought into the
.vorld an tnthusiam for humanity and
aught the doctrine of brotherly love
nd forgiveness.

Christianity does not fly a national
flag�it is universal. And I wish that
we could learn that Christianity does
not fly any sectional flag or sectional
�huvch, for in the degree of its sec-
tionalism it fails to be a Christian
church. And I wish that we could
learn that it does not fly any racial
flag, for Christ did not die for the
Jews alone, nor for the Gentiles.
Jesus went home with the Publican
and said, 'This day has salvation come
to this man's house. Te Jews had
no use for the Samaritans for they
were supposed to be hertics; but Jesus
spoke to the woman at the well and
told her of salvation. And Jesus gave
that same enthusiasm to his diciples

It Has Been Said
It has been said that:
At that most thrilling moment
when the Don Cossack Russian Chorus
came on the stage and Serge Jaroff
came out to direct the first selection,
two voices were heard in the balcony.
Asked one in a stage whisper, "Isn't
I)n Cossack a dear?" The second
answered "Yes
The Co-eds have begun to transmit
their messages by means of post
cards. Why? Because during the de-
pression they must economize, and a
post card calls for only a one-cent
tamp. Also they require
less
ink.
Tiie returning of graduates bring
various reports of their work in the
world. A typical report runs thus:
"I have seventy-nine absolutely ter-
i ible children. Yes, seventy-nine. It
seems that the schools have gone back
to the old days when the teacher
taught in the crowded school room.
The only things missing are the
wooden benches and the hot sweet
potato lunches. If I do not scream
at the little savages every five
minutes, they think that I am a big
sissy. Take my advice, and enjoyr
yourself while you can.
Basket hall causes much excite-
ment. For instance there has been a
broken ligiment, a sprained finger, a
sprained wrist, ennumerable skinned
knees, and not to mention its effect on
a group of Seniors who, since the pre-
liminaries, have been muttering some-
thing about the mysterious fingers,
thirty-four and twelve.
In a certain class it was declared
that "love regenerates you Ha -

ODE TO HOLIDAYS
Cloudy eyes, a throbbing head;
Weary bones, desire for bed;
Broken heart, many "dears
Lazy grin, floods of tears;
Thoughts of home, dread of school;
"The little dear "the little fool
Homesickness, leaving him;
Loss of vigor, pep, and vim;
Friends around you�then to part
Leave the homefolks and sweetheart.
Back to school; back to work;
Bask to studies which we shirk;
Indigestion, oh dearie,
Holidays, the wi-eck of me!

THANKSGIVING CREEDS.
The following Thanksgiving Creeds
were written by grade pupils at the
Training School:
I thank Thee, Oh God, that I have
the privilege to worship as I want. I
am thankful for strength Thou givest
to us, I am thankful for our Father
in Heaven. I am thankful for our
little brown bed, where I lay my little
brown head. I thank Thee for our
teacher so dear, Amen.
�Lloyd Benjamin Hill.
and there I have seen the lame, the
blind, and the paupers standing in the
streets out side the famous cathedrals
begging. I have seen people come out
and drop in a penny and when they
heard the clatter of the copper and the
tin, smile as though they had bought
a penny's worth of heaven. But no-
body can put a pittance in and buy a
portion of heaven. The passage that
I am discussing with you this morning
is of immediate importance to us in
these times. One always hates to
turn away from those in distress; but,
if one always gives to paupers, then
one contributes to paupery and to
poverty. In recent years we have
done much along this line; at least we
have organized charity and investi-
gate cases before acting on them.
"Two weeks ago I attended a great
meeting in Charlotte, it was the drive
for the community chest fund. I said
to one of the leading business men of
that city, 'What has the community
done toward securing employment for
the unemployed?' He responded that
nothing had been done. 'Why I ask-
ed. 'Well, I have thought about it
but cannot find any solution for this
condition But, he hadn't really
thought for there is a solution. I
know that God holds the solution to
the every human problem that there
is. Unemployment is a great disease
I and we must deal with it as such. We
must seek out a cause for it and do
away with that cause. I can better
illustrate this with an example of our
own life: My brother died of typ-
hoid fever. I remember quite well
how he came home with a high fever
and went to bed. In exactly three
weeks he was dead. The doctor was
a friend of the family. He did every-
thing that he knew to do. He was
very attentive. He wrapped him in
wet blankets to cool the fever, but he
died; and it broke my father's heart
for he was never quite the same after-
wards. My oldest son had typhoid
fever when he was eleven years of
age. I could not believe it although
I suspected it before the doctor came
and confirmed my suspicion. 'What
water has the boy been drinking?
Let me see a sample of the mill.
Where do you buy your fruit Are
there any flies in the house? What
was the doctor doing He sought the
cause in order that he might protect
the family and prevent an epedemic
among the neighbors. Science had
taught him to seek out the cause in
dealing with these matters and he
wa sready to act not only for the boy
but also for the family and neighbors.
"Today it is suggested that we re-
lieve the depression and poverty-
stricken by opening the theatres on
Sunday and giving the proceeds of the
show to charity. Why do we not do
this Who among us is willing to
sell his Lord for thirty pieces of
silver? No, we must instead find out
the cause and then set to work to re-
move this cause.
"There has been a time when
any honest man could find some-
thing to do to make a living, but
today this is not true. There are
many who do not know how they can
get through the w it- i : and there at
many n ore who fccep up pretence
I while thy do not know what move t.
Lake next. It is not the business ol
the church to tell the banker how to
run his bank. It is not the businesi
of the church to toil the manufacture!
how to run his fact, ry, but we can
say to the manufacturer that he must
run his enterprise on religious baises
A moment ago we said that Jem
brought a new faith with him into th
world. He also broughl a new doc
trine with him- th � doctrine of moral
purity. It was in the world before t(
a degree as of love if kindness v, :v
here to a degree; but ii remained for
Him to push it forward in the heart
of men. Today the world of socict
is organized without reference to God.
When a nation tries to d this it is on
the road to ruin. Rome is the greal
est example of this. At one time lin
citizens loved their country and pro-
tected it, but there came a time when
the Romans cared more for the thea-
tre and the arena and human society
than for the material things of life;
and Rome fell. We leave God out if
our politics, and so they tell preachers
to stay out of politics because it is too
dirty. Is that pure religion?
"John Wesley, the founder of our
church, had a great mother. When
he was in doubt as to whether what
he was about to do was right or not
he would write to her and ask hei
what she thought. That boy's mother
taught him what pure religion was
pure religion and undefiled before Cod
the Father is this, to visit the father-
less and the widows in their afflic ion
and keep thyself unspotted from the
world
The three great dangers to our
youth of today are dancing, card play-
ing, and going to the movie theatre.
I have seen interesting pictures, pic-
tures that were not harmful, but i
have seen pictures that I had to leave
before they were well started bee: u:
I could not afford to ruin my charac-
ter by looking at them. The movie
has dene a good piece f work in ry
ing to stop crime, and yet the in v �
the greatest booster of crime and ).
criminal that today is tolerated n thi
face of the earth.
"Dancing in itself is not an
it is not far removed from
will gradually tend t" i vil. :
tolerate this condition?
"As for card playing. I can oniy
scribe it in the words of a westerner
with whom I was once traveling n
the train. She said, 'Card playing is
the last solace of an empty brain I
cannot afford to stop and play cards.
I have to much to do. In itself i
form of amusement is not a gr at
evil, but it is so closely associated
with evil that I cannot afford to play.
