Dr. Mead- ows has just returned from the ses- sion in Memphis, Tennessee, at which annual examinations of such institutions are held. Maintaining its present high ree- ord, the college met every require- ment. The faculty of East Caro- lina Teachers College has for some- time been ranked by the American Association of Teachers Colleges as one of the three best trained in all the two hundred state teachers col- leges in the United States. The theme of the various pro- grams was ‘‘The Second Recon- struction of the South.’’ All the speakers of the programs were men of southern origin.

The other way is that of the realist, who believes that the lesser of the two evils must be chosen. Think about this question of atti- tude and form now ‘‘before the drums begin to beat,’’ he urged. In closing Dr. Eddy listed sev- eral things that Americans can do to help keep out of war. He sug- gested that we avoid all entangling alliances, strive to keep America out of war, strive to keep the world out of war, avoid selfish isolation, seek to give justice as the earmarks of the foundation of peace, interna- tionalize the Monroe Doctrine, and open our gates to more war refugees, thereby enriching our national life and allowing our full quota of im- migrants of all nationalities. After speaking here, Dr. Eddy returned to Raleigh to participate in the Institute of Human Rela- tionships. Today there are 1,350,000 stu- dents enrolled in U. S. colleges and universities. Two hundred and twelve stu- dents failed one or more subjects last quarter. This is a decided de- crease of twenty-eight over the number who failed last quarter. Forty-eight students flunked out or did not pass nine hours of the work carried. These forty-eight per- sons failed a total of 384 hours or an average of eight hours each. One hundred and sixty-four other persons flunked one or more subjects. They failed a total of 554 hours or an average of 3.4 hours each. The total number of students flunking, failed a total of 908 hours} or an average of 4.42 hours. The cost to students of the 938 hours fiunked at $6.00 per hour is $5,628. Nine hundred thirty-eight eredit hours is enough for four A.B. degrees and 178 quarter hours left over. This is equal to three and a half years of class periods for one student.
