Dr. Wright was the first and only President of East Carolina Teachers College, and his work, which he loved so well, has developed the school from a small local normal school, opening with 174 students, to one of the best teachers colleges in the United States. At the close of this college year he would have been President of this college a quarter of a century. He was the son of Bettie Vaiden Herring and John C. Wright of Sampson County. He was born May 21, 1870. He was prepared for college in his mother’s pri- vate school. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in the class of 1897. He has done graduate work at John Hopkins University and Col- umbia University. The Honorary Degree of Doctor of Education was conferred on him by Wake Forest College. He has taught in South Carolina, Oak Ridge Ins- titute, City College of Baltimore, and was Principal of Eastern High School at Baltimore. He made a national reputation while working in the Baltimore schools. He was recalled to his native state when he was elected to the Presidency of this college in June, 1909. | Dr. Wright has a national reputation in educa- tional circles, having taken an active part in many ilighted tapers.

He has served both as President and Vice-President of North Carolina Education Association. He was a member of a special committee for codi- fying the educggional laws of N. C. and helped a great deal with standardization of certificates for teachers. Not only was Dr. Wright always interested in the schools, but he always took an active part in commun- ity affairs. He was a charter member of the local Ro- tary Club, which he served as President. He has also taken part in the State and National work of the Ro- tary Club. He was President of the North Carolina Associa- tion, Incorporated, and had planned to go,to Washing- ton next week in the interest of this association. He was a member of the Rivers and Harbors Commission because of his interest in ports and harbors in North Carolina. He had taken a prominent part in church work. He was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Jar- vis Memorial Church and was on the Steering Com- mittee for raising money for removing the debt of that church. At one time he seemed io be the only one to have full faith that the debt would be removed this spring. Sunday he was present at the services when the notes were burned and announcement was made of the final removal of the debts. For many years he was the teacher of the Men’s Bible Class. His talks at chapel have shown that he was a profound student of the Bible. He is survived by his widow who was Miss Pearl Murphy of Sampson County; and by four children, Mrs. Don Cadman of Chappaqua, New York; Mrs. Derwood Parker of Wilson; Dr Robert H.

He has done a creditable piece of work for men’s athletics at E. C. T. C., and in his two year’s as coach he did all he could to further athletics on the campus. He took personal interest in each of his athletics, and the good teams that we have had, have in a large measure been due to him. He had that quality of “stick-to-it- ness” that is greatly admired, and did his best to make a good athletic team out of the limited number of men students here. CRITICISM Every student has a part in making the reputation of the college that he attends and plays a vital part in moulding the life of the Students often thought- lessly criticize the food, the student officers, the dormitory life in general and even the Do they realize that they are criti- cizing a unit of which they are a part, and are, in a large measure, responsible for the laws made by it? No time is spent to pause, reflect and to really appreciate the efforts that the students and faculty leaders expect. It is condemnation of themselves their own criticism, when they criticize those who lead them. college. classes. Is there a consciousness of the fact that the leaders of the past have left a legacy in ideals, hopes, and visions that must play an important part in the educational world to come? PERSEVERANCE Perseverance coupled with careful pre- paration forms a combination that in most instances leads to success. There is a poem that has in it these lines, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” The people who have succeeded in life have not had success handed out to them on a silver platter, but they have worked for it. They have taken life as it came to them and many trials were made to over- come the difficulties. It is not necessary for us to go out in the world of success to see the great men and women who have climbed the ladder to fame, rung by rung, many times stepping back, only to have to start over again. To do this perseverance is necessary to one’s char- acter. There are examples around us, that indicate perseverance. And with those ex- amples we see preparedness that indicate that thought has been put on the ascension of the ladder. Those people have tried again and again to make possible the reali- zation of those lofty ideals they held. Per- serverance is a salient characteristic of them. STUDENT OFFICERS “Now that they have been elected, what kind of student officers will they make?” “Will they stop being nice to people be- cause the voting is over?” Those questions have been asked numbers of times since the elections. Will the student council mem- bers be merely figure heads, or will they be the kind who are always looking for some- thing to report? Neither case is desirable, but it is asked that they be fair-minded in- dividuals who try to judge wisely. Will the editors and business managers of the publications give their best service to the student body? If unqualified freedom of the collegiate press is to be practiced, then the editor should make the editorial policy of the student paper constructive and ethical. In the mast head of the Teco Echo there is a sentence to the effect that the pa- per is published by the Student Govern- ment Association, not by a few people. In many cases an editor is met with disappro- val by the students who sometimes judge him falsely. So long as the editor has the trend of thought that is demanded by _ the masses, he is popular, but once he dares exercise a thought to which they do not agree he is met with derision. This does not apply to editors alone, but rather to any student who holds a prominent, influential position on the campus. The new council has quite a task on its hands, that of making the student govern- ment association on this campus, an institu- tion of respect and pride to the student body. It is the general feeling among the students that they have elected capable rep- resentatives of them. But again the ques- tion arises: “Will they fulfil the general ex- pectation and be good student officials? DO UNDER-GRADUATES REFUSE TO THINK? Does the average undergraduate of the American college and university refuse to think? According to the Penn State Cclle- gian he does, but the fault is attributed to the American educational system rather than to the nature of the student himself. Even though the true fact remains that the average undergraduate refused to think, the fundamental fault, lies not in his lazy, morbidly drowsy nature, but in his home training, the elementary school, the college or university, and lack of lofty ideals, that have not been properly instigated in him. Alexander Pope in his “Essay on Criti- cism” says a little learning is a dangerous thing.” That fits in quite properly here if it is pointed out that the modern college sys- tem requires a certain amount of memoriz- ing but not real thinking. Continuing the point we see, that the fact the student must fulfill these material requirements dis- tracts him from the larger ideal of real edu- cation and cluture. A little education large- ly brings about the weakened American, giving him just enough of the fundamentals to want to rebel, and then the chaos holds the upper hand. If the American college student really spent time thinking, rather than lightly skimming the high spots that the educa- tional institution he is attending offers, much chaos would be avoided. But can he develop this nature of deep thinking him- self, or is the American educational system responsible for his so-called lethargic atti- tude? MONOGRAM SWEATERS East Carolina Teachers College passed another milestone towards better athletics, by awarding monogram sweaters to their athletes. Athletics have suffered somewhat from a lack of finances, for the athletic ap- propriation is small here compared to what it is in some colleges that have approximate- ly the same _ student enrollment that we have. Much progress has been made this year and it is expected that athletics will continue to progress. Good teams have been produced even though all the games played have not been winning games. The athletes are to be congratulated for their good work and they deserve the sweaters that they have received. America faces a number of basic choices that will determine whether her fu- ture is one of retrogression into processes handed down from former generations or is to move on into a new co-operative society of peace and plenty.—Dr. Goodwin S. Wat- son. The godly have often been inhuman.— Rev. Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin. THE TECO ECHO Student Opinion To the Editor: At nearly every mass meeting we have and some student is nominated for an office, some one makes a motion that we omit applause. It is promptly seconded, voted upon, and the motion is carried. But imme- diately when the candidates are announced and are asked to walk across the stage, some one starts to applaud. What's the purpose of voting to omit the applause and then act as if the matter had never been mention- ed? It seems to be rather a dumb procedure from a group of peo- ple who are supposedly intelli- gent. To the Editor: A great deal of interest has been shown in sports this year, but not as much as there should have been. At the last two home games of baseball there was just a scattering of students in the bleachers. Yet, many of those students who did not attend the game went uptown, or spent the afternoon doing something — that could easily have been postpon- ed to a later date, in order te attend the ball game. The Men's Athletic Association has worked hard this year to further athle- tics on the campus for they be- lieve that good athletics are good advertising for the college. The team and coach are striving to end the season successfully. But it is rather discouraging for ball players to play a game with only a handful of spectators. The boys gave their hearty support to the girls team, and in return the girls should support them. The least we can do is attend the games. They play better with the entire student body spectating than they do, when just a few go to watch 3 them. To The Editor: I wish to remind the students especially the day students, that Mrs. Spilman, the assistant treas: urer of our college, is a candidate for the state senate from Pitt County. Mrs. Spilman has been con- connected with this institution for several years, and is known personally by every student here. She is always interested in any- thing which has to do with the educating and enlightenment of the younger generation, and should she be elected to the state senate there is no doubt but that she will do all in her power to better the educational facili- ties of our state. This alone should cause every faculty mem- ber, student, and other persons interested in education to give her their full support. In helping to elect Mrs. Spil- man we not only will be show- ing our appreciation of the in- valuable service which she has rendered our institution, but we will also be sending a person to our law making body who un- derstands thoroughly the condi- tion of the public schools in North Carolina and one who de- sires to see our schools as good as those of any other state in the union. Let’s all get busy and have a person from our college repre- sent us in Raleigh next fall. We can do no other one thing that will have more to do with mak- ing the job of teaching school a professional position. Charles Edwards. ee Dear Editor: There was an announcement made in the dining hall to the effect that after the doors of the hall had closed for a meal, the late students would not be ad- mitted. As a dining-room girl, I wish to state that this has had not the slightest bit of effect on the students. I have not seen nor heard of a single student ob- serving this regulation. There is no reason whatsoever for this disgraceful procedure being car- ried on. The very least any stu- dent can do after some one has spent time and energy over a meal is to be on time to eat it. If the rule stated by Miss Smith cannot be enforced, it is time to take drastic steps toward a re- form of the situation. “Movies are potentially the greatest educational force in the country today,” according to Prof. H. B. English, of Ohio State University. MECKLENBURG LEADS THE STATE IN SCHOLARSHIP OF TEACHERS lic Instruction, that age training index cipals. Each y -33 was 715.9. was 589.8.

HIGHSMITH—ROSS A marriage of interest through- out the State took place here Thursday morning, April 5, when Miss Kathleen Ross and James Harvey Highsmith, both of Rob- ersonville, were married in the Christian Parsonage. Mrs. Highsmith is the daugh- ter of Mrs. Neva Ross. She was graduated from _ Robersonville high school and attended East Carolina Teachers College in Greenville. After a motor trip through the Shenandoah Valley, and a visit to Washington, D. C., Mr. and Mrs. Highsmith will be at home in Robersonville. The fifth grade from the train- ing school presented a moving picture of the winning of the west, in chapel Friday. How- ard’s Theatre was used for the production, and the scenes were explained by various members of the class. Special attention was given to phases of the show dealing with the Lewis and Clark expedition, the claims made to the Oregon territory, the development of Texas; and the division of the Western land. The program was presented through the courtesy of Miss Rainwater, critic teacher and Miss prac- tice teacher. [home and community. that might be followed. Mr. Reid Ross, principal of the Moss Hill High School, Lenoir Coun- ty, in talking on the possibilities of a Modified Platoon System for meeting the Educational Needs of the New Order, gave a report of a successful experiment in his own school. Miss Evelyn D. Anderson, spoke on the place and function of mathematics in the new pro- gram of secondary education il- lustrating her principle from her own work in the New Hanover High School. Miss Mildred English, Assist- ant Superintendent of the Ral- eigh City schools in presenting “A Modern Supervisory Pro- gram,” said that in the new pro- gram supervi must be con- sultors and divest themselves of their former authority, and that all must work together. or At the general meeting excell- | ent summaries of the discussions were given by Jule B. Warren, Secretary of the N. C. E. A., and V. M. Mulholland, of the Green- ville High School. Dr. Raymond Binford, dent of Guilford College, gave his impressions of the meeting. He felt that all agreed that the problem of redigesting the whole program involves the revaluation of the Presi- relation between — school, He feels that school men are perhaps in- clined progressively to take up their burdens and think every- thing depends upon them, over- looking the fact that there are some things the community and the home could do. President Wright in his ad- dress of welcome stressed the necessity of an enlightened citi- zenship in one democ y, which seems to be coming to full growth, in what he believed is a form of collectivism. He pic- tured the life of a man in the future when his day would bej divided into two parts, one for serving society and making a liv- ing, and the other for freedom to live his own life. The program of education he believes should fit him both for his work and his leisure. The highest type of character will be needed for liv- ing in the new era, hence he believes character training is essential. The laboratory meth- od, with many cooperatively searching for truth and experien- cing he believes the only method practicable, he cited this as the method used on conferences for studying problems. Dr. W. O. Hampton, at the general meeting at night, gave a keen historical development of the curriculum as a basis of com- parison of the problems of the past and the reorganized educa- tional program that we need. He gave a scathing criticism of the secondary school program as it is now. He took up each subject in the entire curriculum showing how each could be reorganized and all subjects brought into re- lationship. He gave as the prin- cipal objective of secondary edu- cation the promotion of growth in the power of social under- standing and adjustment. A new and enlarged program of fine arts together with an enlarge- ment of the physical education work, the thinks, must be made the basis for a large part of the education for leisure. One task of the schools should be to aid the students to participate in the reconstruction of the social order. The program committee was composed of the following: M. K. Fort, director of training of East Carolina Teachers College, Chairman; W. O. Hampton, of Wilmington; W. A. Graham, of Kinston, Mrs. Edwin Wells, of Wilson; Messrs. L. R. Meadows, M. L. Wright and Miss Frances Wahl, all of East Carolina Teach- ers College. The committee of x COLLEGE GIRLS!

IDR, ReBARKER TO HEAD ROTARIANS (Continued from first page) the principles of Rotary Interna- tional. The Chaco dispute between Bolivia and Paraguay which bris- tled with guns was approached by a conference of the Pan- American Union in a _ friendly discussion. No names were call- ed and no blame placed. But an armistice between the disput- ant’s resulted. These conferes worked with the spirit of Rotary. A great advance in the rela- tiong of the members of — the Pan-American Unions was af- fected by the Roosevelt Admin- istration’s declaration that it would have a policy of non inter- vention which declaration im- proved the attitude of the Union nations not only toward the Uni- ted States but toward each other in view of our former strict observance of the Monroe Doc- trine. Monday night Fordice Harding, Carl Adams, Herbert ReBarker, Jasper Winslow, Jonathan Over- ton, and Steve Wilkerson were elected to serve with Kinchen Cobb this year’s club president, who automatically becomes a member of the group to serve as the club board of directors for the ensuing year. , Edgar Mecks won the attend- ance prize.

Golden Cheese Club I wonder if when a graduate applies for a job the superinten- dent would kinda clear his throat and say, “So you want a job; well, do you ever prevarl- cate?” And I wonder still fur- ther if the prospective teacher would reply by saying, “No sir, but I can learn.” Well, to say the least, she’d be willing, to try anything once. It’s an easy ac- complishment, anyway. Somie history students might be interested in a typographical error that occurred in an adver- tisement of Well’s Outline of History. It reads like this: “Well’s Outline of Hosiery, regu- lar price $5.00; reduced to $1.00.” Evidently they’ve been ankling through the ages. What about this new orchestra that suddenly started on the campus? It seems quite popular Saturday night. The only trou- ble was that the dance stopped just about the time everybody was beginning to thoroughly en- joy it. Seems as if all the boys were being rushed by one cer- tain person, who broke on all of them. She surely did spend one evening dancing, and strange to say she never takes a very ac- tive part in any social activities except the Saturday night so- Oh well, maybe she’s perfecting herself in one line. I saw her one time dancing with some co-ed, with her eyes shut tight, and with a smile playing round her lips. I looked closer to see who the lucky (?) boy was, but other dancers got in my way.
