women have equal rights with men

that since this college was to train

smoking among the students without

even brutal, yet. one critic has aid.
there comes a time when such is per-
mitted the only thing for the plaee-

would be to have a list of those girls
who did not. Then when a superin-
tends tit came here for a teacher show
him each list of names and let him
choose the type of teacher he thinks
will fit into his community. Dr.
Wright also said that he did not
know how true it was but he had
heard that the fad of women smoking
was now dying out in the. northern
states where it was first begun. That
being the case, he does not think that
this epidemic will ever become a
ocial custom of the people as a whole.
There are those, however, who con-
sider it perfectly good taste for it is
going on in some of the very best
homes. He says that the girls who
smoke in this college do it just to see
if tiny can get by with it, and for
the thrill of doing that that is for-
bidden.
In reminding, he said, "I smoke a

Dr. E. A. Branch of Raleigh has
been a vistor on this campus during
the past week. On Tuesday and on
Wednesday he spoke to the classes in
Science in the lecture room of the
Science Building. His subject was
one of vital interest to all of those who
intend to teach, even as it is of vital
interest to those who will never again
enter school rooms. The subject was
teeth.
The teeth, he said, are just grind-
stones in the mouth, the receiving end
of the alementary canal. If they are
in a bad condition then the body is
very likely also in such a condition.
His talk was made much more ef-
fective and interesting by the picture
slide which he showed and explained.
Following each lecture, Dr. Branch
conducted a few minutes of open
forum discussion or question and
answer period.

two sections, the Short Stories of the
Bible and the Poetry of it. Miss ,
Turner is now teaching the latter of
these divisions. The first phase taken ;
up by her was the book of Job. a book
classed as poetry because of the;
rhythm in its thought. It is a dram-j
atic poem, framed in an epic story.
"There was a man in the land of
Uz, whose name was Job: and that
man was perfect and upright, and one ,
that feared God, and eschewed evil
Job was a very wealthy man, one who .
was always good and upright. One
the devil told God that the reason Job
was so good was that he had nothing
to tempt him, for he had all the word-
ly goods he could wish for. The
devil asked God for permission to
tempt Job, and was told to do any-
thing so long as he spared his life.
Thus the devil started out by taking
away all of his wealth, but Job still
blessed his Father. Although t be-
devil tempted him in various and
awful ways, Job endures them all and
continues to trust in the Father.
has told us of a terrible
thing that happened in his "Des-
cent into the Maelstrom" all be-
cause one person failed to wind his
watch. The whole thing in a "nut
shell" amounted to the loss of a
ship and the life of a youth. It is
difficult to imagine that such a big
thing would happen from such a
small cause. How long does it take
� wind a watch?
Let us make a special effort to
prevent disasterous happenings
just because we do not think to
wind our watch. To college girls
that is one little thing that is of
j great importance. As a result, we
j may miss a class or cut a meal.
Then, just think what happens.
! Let us remember to wind our
; watches and in keeping with the
j college motto "Be on time every
1 time Our success in life depends
: on this; consequently, let's hope
� that no one fails to attain his or
her goal on account of such a little
thing that can be done in much less
i time than it takes to tell it.

he young women of today do?
There are lots of opportunities open-
ed up to those who want to make
- a, thing of their lives. Today is a
time which is trying the very metal
. ,ir souk. If we can have a cbar-
a 'a r and personality which is worth-
while, we shall rise. Jesus was not
talking of the easy life, but of one
whi i � up and doing something�one
who puts his whole spirit into life.
When we put our lives into ser-
vice, we get a thrill out of it. The
boys and gills of today are standing
on the threshold of one of the greatest
eras of our history. Remember you
are not living your life alone�you
are not carrying your burden alone�
Christ is with you. Will you give
Him the chance to go with you?

The Student Volunteer Group is
taking up the study of India and
Gandhi. Lucille Rose gave a very de-
tailed report of the physical features
of that country at the last meeting.
Some later discussions will be related
to the work of missions in India.
India, the country under British Dom-
inion, possesses one of the greatest
men of the age. With its three mil-
lion people it is striving for elf-
government. The group extends an
invitation to everyone who is interest-
ed in becoming a member or who is
interested in Missions to attend these
meetings, and study together the
present situations in India.

THE DEPRESSION.
Yes. the story of the depres-
sion is very familiar to us all
now, but here is a word you may
not have heard. The depression
must be over, for the girls at
E. C. T. C. had Ice Cream for
supper Sunday night, and that
is indeed a rarety.
WHERE DOES IT GO?
It has been impossible recent-
ly for the publicity committee to
trust the most valuable adver-
tising material out of sight be-
cause on a second glance it has
been known to disappear into
the realms of the unknown. Re-
peatedly this has happened.
Evidently some students think
they are gods to be fed pictures
of the Don Cossack Male Chorus,
tialli-Curci, and the Kreutberg
Dancers by the bulletin boards.
Occasionally it is necessary
for this material to be returned
to the company that sent it;
some belongs to members of the
faculty, especially the entertain-
ment committee; and some is
given to the Library where it
can be preserved so that all stu-
dents may have access to it.
It is not only a dishonest act
to take this material, but it is
depriving some students of see-
ing the pictures, as well as work-
ing a hardship on the advertis-
ing committee. A situation has
become disgraceful when the
.till
aents that the college still has six
member oi the original faculty.
These are Dr. Robert H. Wright,
president, Miss Sallie Joyner Davis,
Miss Mamie E. Jenkins, Miss Maria

your tonsils nre in good shape so that
they will not interfile with you doing
your part of the game. When the two
cheer leaders give the signal to yell
for the team, we should all show our
college spirit and do our best.
REMARKS!
I am the Great Indispensable! I
am carried carefully in the soft warm
hands of every girl on this campus.
All the co-eds valuo me. I am always
with co-eds and girls in the hours of
dire need- examinations. I am with
them at night during study hour, with
them on classes and am often up town
with them. At night I rest tran-
quilly on the table, in the table draw-
er, or in some place equally as safe.
I am thought of highly, prized be-
cause of my use. Sometimes I am
used as a gift from Prince Charming
to his fiancee and vice versa, on such
occasions my price is high, other
times I am less expensive.
I am used to express word of ten-
der sentiment to Toms, Dicks, and
Harrys and transport my message
home, to Duke, Carolina, and State as
well as to four corners of the globe.
I am always needed on such occasions.
I am almighty! I am the fountain
pen!

der's Day, March 5. The observance
of Founder's Day causes us to pause
in retrospection and review the past
accomplishments of East Carolina
Teachers College when it was merely
a struggling training school without
much support, but with the tradition
of many years of noteworthy achieve-
ment.
On July 2, 1908 the ground was
broken for the first buildings. It was
not until October 5, 1909, however,
that the first regular session opened
its door to young men and women who
were preparing to teach in the North
Carolina schools. These students
graduated June 6, 1911. There were
one hundred and seventy-four stu-
dents enrolled the first year. On
November 20, 1920 the course was ex-
tended to four years and authorized
to grant degrees. The first degrees
to be granted were June, 1922. The
college was authorized to confer the
M. A. degree August 22, 1929. There
are at present twentyone substantial
buildings appropriate to the work of
the Institution, located Gn approxim-
ately one hundred and eighty-four.
During the years of its existence
many student organizations have been
created and developed on the campus.
Among these are the Student Govern-
ment Association; three Literary So-
cieties, the Poe, Lanier, and Emer-
son; the Young Women's Christian
Association; two publications, the
Teco Echo and Tecoan; and many
minor clubs. This year there is a
boy's basketball team.
It is of great interest to the stu-
exeeedingly well and all of them
shewed promise of developing into a
well-roundt d team

LOSE TO WILLIAM AND MARY.
The boys basketball team of East
Carolina Teachers Colege had one of
its "on" nights last Saturday and
spent enough of its energy in forty
minutes to send the Louisburg College
quint back to Louisburg with a 16 to 6
defeat. Coach "Soup" Porter's local
collegians went on the court to win,
and win they did.
The Methodist visitors were limited
to one field goal in the first half, but
they made four foul shots. The
Teachers made eight points and the
half ended 8 to 6 in their favor.
In the second half the "professors
of basketball" gave Louisburg a les-
son on how to keep your opponents
from scoring. An excellent lesson it
was as Louisburg did not register a
single point.
Tucker, with seven points, topped
the winners while Edwards accounted
for five of the six Louisburg points.
The defensive play of King and Eason
featured for the Greenville collegians.
Hearne played the best game of his
career and that boy Nesbit certainly
is the find of the season.
Louisburg fully expected to win this
Playing their first out of State
basketball game in the history of the
college, the East Carolina Teachers
College basketeers lost to the Norfolk
Branch of William and Mary in Nor-
folk by the score of 29 to 23.
The game was very fast from the
beginning with both teams doing some
net passing. After three minutes of
play William and Mary scored 8
quick points, then the Teachers got
their "bearings" and played them on
even terms the rest of the game.
The work of King featured at guard
as well as the all around playing and
shooting of Tucker. Tucker was
high scorer for both teams and looped
the basket for 13 points.
One factor that was noticed while
the game was in progress was that
the Teachers made most of their shots
from the foul line good. This kept
them in the running and had the
Indians of William and Mary worried
throughout the entire game.
Sachs and Bowen were high scorers
for the Indians making eight and
seven points respectively. It could
not helped but be noticed that any man
on their team could shoot a goal and
all had to be kept very closely
guarded.
These two teams will meet again on
Friday, February 12, and you will
miss a real treat if you do not take
time off and see this game. This will
be the game of games in the basket-
ball season. The game will be played
in the Campus Building at the college.

-is a month that has been singularly
fruitful in producing the humanity's
geniuses.
f j When the roll of February-born is
. ailed, among those who answer are
; some of the most illustrious of his-
t 1 tory's great.
There was Mark Hopkins who may
io set down as the father of popular
education.
Charles Dickens proved by his life
and works that are can be utilized as
a powerful factor in bringing about
social reform.
John Ruskin, born in February,
1819, left behind him a powerful im-
pulse to bring beauty out of the gal-
leries and to thrust it into the common
ife.
Thomas A. Edison, born in Febru-
lary, 1S47, is still endowing humanity
with devices that enable it to escape
from the darkness, the delimitation,
and the slavery to one place which
marked the age before the age of
electric power.
Abraham Lincoln, born in February,
I 1809, left behind him an eternally in-
j spiring example of what horse-sense
and humanism can together do in even
the most critical hours of a people's
life.
Thaddeus Kosciusko, born in Feb-
uiary. 1746, not only proved a tower
of strength to Washington in the
rigorous days of the Revolution, but
! he left behind him a memory that has
been a sustained inspiration to the
I Polish people in their march toward
; independence,
Mary Lyon, born in February, 1797,
1 was the pioneer advocate of higher
education for women, and in 1837,
founded Mount Holyoke seminary.
Charles Darwin, born in February,
� 1809, re-made the attitude of mankind
toward itself and its universe by his
daring generalizations about the way
j man has come to be what he is.

day night, February 1. Close by is
Washington, which sent about fifty
people. In this number is included
Miss Zelma Russ and her dancing
class of twenty-five pupils. Many
people came from a radius of a hun-
dred miles. Perhaps the part of the
country best represented is that be-
tween Greenville and the coast. New
Bern, Kinston, Beaufort and other
towns sent a goodly number.

MRS. SPILMAN ENTERTAINS.
Mrs. J. B. Spilman entertained part
of her Sunday School class at her
home Thursday, February 4. They
spent an informal social hour together
playing games. Following the games
delicious ice cream and cake were
served. Those enjoying her hospital-
ity were Marie Royster, Etta Nor-
wood, Alice Yancey, Ola William,
Winona Asbell, Sibyl Daniels, and
Doris Jones.
It Has Been Said
The co-eds have won another
ket ball game. This time the
was with Louishurg. Indi
proves to be quite exciting.
Everyone enjoyed the entertain-
ment Monday night. It was rumored
that the dancers could speak Eng-
lish; so quite a large part of the
audience waited after the enti rtain-
ment to engage them in conversation.
However, they did not care to discuss
any problem and remained very
quiet.
WAR SENTIMENT.
By Bertha Walston
Then Galli-Curci went to the Uni-
versity of North Carolina to sing, she
was detained hours after her concert
to autograph programs. Why didn't
we think of that? But, then it was
almost as thrilling to shake hands
with her.
The cry of war is ringing,
P ing heralded by men.
Yet why should our boys
March forth to war again?
Is it not enough
That banks arc going wild,
That times are running rough.
That today is Depression's child?
The horrors of war are many,
As everyone may see;
But.if justice there be any
Will someone show that part to me?
Let China declare the war,
Let China furnish the men,
Let Japan rage on against her,
But let America not enter in!
America is sending warships
To protect her people she does assert
Why doesn't she bring them home,
And protect them on her own free
dirt?
Miss Annie Redwine Speaks On First
Grade Problems
Miss Annie Redwine, critic teacher
for the first grade, talked to the pri-
maary teachers who met in Ayden,
January 30th. The discussion was con
corned with "How to Teach"�methods
of teaching and the problems encoun-
tered. Mis Redwine took as her topic,
The reason why Seniors get grey
has heretofore been Practice Teach-
ing. Now they have another care�
the Senior play. They are working
very hard, and we wish them luck. "Do you want her to kill your citizens,
To crush them body and soul;
Japan has taken Shanghai,
It wasn't hard for her to do.
"America, you had better leave Japan
alone.
No telling what she might do to you.
It has been said:
If you attended a certain sixth
period class you would think that
spring as here�that is if you noticed
the many cases of Spring Fever.
Often no one leaves immediately after
the bell rings, but waits a while to
wake up. Ho! Hum!
We changed tables today. This ac-
counts for the lack of noise in the
'Writing Problems in the First Grade"dining hall.
For instance, to wound Colonel Lind-
bergh
And leave him to die in a shell-hole?
"Can you watch your youths go out,
And stand there with a smile?
Do you mean to enter this war
Only to be in style?
"Yet, enter, America, if you must,
And let bad be turned to worse.
Then if you'll accept me as a helper
I'll enlist as a Red Cross nurse

We should think of our mouths as a
means by which we mold our charac-
ter, make our friends, and that finally
get us to ear station in life.
Gossip is one of the most uncon-
ventional uses of the mouth. Some
people simply dote on bearing and
spreading gossip. Those people who
have had scandalous gossip about
them have learned a lesson and do not
take part in trying to circulate un-
true stories about others. Gossip is
usually attributed to "old maids but
I fear that if that is true, we are all
"old-maids" to a certain extent.
Some of us are not guilty of using
our mouths in such a vile way as curs-
ing. In the first place, it is wrong
to get so wrought up as to use Deistic
names in vain. It is a good rule,
when you do get provoked, to count
ten before you speak. By that time
the evil thoughts will have left your
mind and you will probably refrain
from hurting some one's feelings, and,
also, from putting an ugly stain on
your character.
God has given BS such wonderful
machines as mouths for a better and
more noble purpose. His plan is for

Miss Hagfors in an operetta at the
opera house in Berlin, Kreutzberg
spoke to her about his desire to form
a group, and she who had long ad-
mired his style of dancing broke the
contract with the opera house to join
the group. Her favorite sport is
skiiing; and she speaks fluently Ger-
man, French, Swedish, Finnish, and
English.
The fourth, Almuth Winckelmann,
.whose father is a well-known musician
in Germany and whose mother is a
painter, enrolled at the age of fifteen
in the school which was run in Han-
over by Kreutzberg and Georgi. Later
she was engaged by the Director of
the Opera House in Dessan who need-
de a dancer at the time. She danced
there for three years. Then, Kreutz-
berg needing a group of dancers, in-
vited Almuth to join him. She has
been with him ever since. She speaks
Italian, French, and German, and

and Spanish this year.

America is all that she can blame.
Why does she intrude

Why does America enter

By Bertha Walston
On Thursday night, February 4, the
Scribblers held a very interesting
meeting in the staff room. The pro-
gram was conducted by Miss Clyde
Morton, who chose as her topic the
printing press. This subject was
quite fitting as the members of the
club are to go to Renfrew Printing
Company to see a paper in the mak-
ing during the next few days. Short
talks were made by Miss Elizabeth
Haywood, Willa Mitchell Dickey, and
about the machines that would be seen
on this trip.
The Scribblers Club will hold its
membership open until after the next
meeting, which is on the third Wed-
nesday night in February, after which
time no more persons will be allowed
to enter. It is necessary to be a mem-
ber of this club in order to be eligible
for membership on the Teco Echo
staff next year; therefore, it is ad-
visable that all persons interested in
journalistic work see Bertha Walston
vithin the next week.
Like fleecy clouds
Adrift on a sunny day;
Like spiders spinning a web
To catch their innocent prey;
Like the falling of the leaves
As they float gently windward;
Like the wave of the ocean
As the tide races inward;
Like the ants, who are working
And wasting their lives;
Like the bees taking honey
Back to their hives
Like all of these
And many things more
I think of the cars
That pass my door.
OH YE GOSSIPERS.
NOTICE!
Scribblers hold their regular
meeting on the first and third Wed-
nesday's at 6:30 in Room 212. Re-
porters and all others who are in-
terested in Journalism are urged
to attend.
Oh ye gossipers�ye destroyers of
character, ye spreaders of secrets, and
ye destroyers of confidence, from
whence did ye come? Of whom are
ye messengers?
Yea, I have said destroyers of
character, for do ye not that? Ye
add to that which is told ye and pass
it on. The author of a tale recognizes
it not when, after passing the rounds,
it reaches his ears. Ye make a tale
like a ball of snow rolling from the
mountain peak to the bottom, gather-
ing as it goes. Regardless of the
harm, the evil therein, ye pass it on.
I doubt not that people have suffered
because of you.
As spreaders of secrets none could
surpass ye. Your tongue is "loose
and dangling at both ends The
"don't ye tell" passes on from ye to
others, but with little significance.
Know ye not what these words mean ?
Ye cannot say ye are not destroyers
of confidence for many have suspi-
cions because of ye. The little has
been made big, and mole hills have
been made mountains. Friends have
separated, love has been killed, homes
have been broken, as a result of your
pink wagging tongues.
Why have ye permitted your
mouths to repeat such things? Why
have ye permitted such to pass from
your lips? These I leave for your
answer for ye may be wiser than I.
