ithat our forefathers came to this
country to gain freedom and found-
ed the nation on the basis of free-
dom and intelligence
If the world is to he worthwhile
in the way of guaranteeing peace,
he said, there must be a movement
based upon intelligence with a full
realization of the futility of war
and such a movement mut become
widespread throughout the various
nation- of the world.
Judge Folger said that America,
with a government based on freedom
and intelligence, is the nation to fos-
ter a real universal peace, and add-
ed the country should take its proper
place in bringing about closer
friendship between the nations.
The address came as a climax to
a stirring program, which got under
way in time for a period of silence
at 11 o'clock in memory of departed
comrades. Rev. R. C. Grady, local
Presbyterian minister, delivered the
invocation. The college chorus ren-

the report of President Meadow,

The itemized h giving the

that collections have been excellent.
No better evidence of the good
business management could be given.
The registrar's report shows the
increase in the enrollment, giving
the figures in several years past.
The increase in five years has been

one thousand B.A. graduates,
the one hundred students who
have done graduate work at
the college, and the more than
twenty-two thousand students
who attended East Carolina

we sincerely trust you will
feel "at home" while you are

miss the friendly spirit which
pervaded our campus when you
were here, for that spirit of
cooperation, of loyalty, and of
service to others is still a part
of the college; you will need
to spend only a short time here
to find that this is true. Mingle

NCEA To Present Pageant
Here On Friday Evening
Friday evening, November 20,
the North Carolina Education As-
sociation will present a pageant cel-
ebrating the one hundredth anni-
versary of education in this state.
The NCEA is divided into six dis-
tricts and this year one of its prin-
cipal activities is staging at each
district meeting a pageant to trace
the development of education in
North Carolina and to celebrate its
anniversary. The pageant to be
given here is presented by the east-
ern district and is in charge of Mr.
C. M. Edsoin, teacher of dramatic
art in Rocky Mount High School.
Mr. Edsoin is a member of the cen-
tral pageant committee of which
Professor Frederick H. Koch, of
the University of North Carolina,
is chairman.
The pageant on the night of No-
vember 20 will consist of seven epi-
sodes presented by, among other
schools of the eastern district, Wash-
ington, New Bern, Rocky Mount,
Wilson, and Atlantic Christian Col-
lege. These episodes trace the his-
tory of education through one hun-
dred years, beginning with the old
school and ending with a picture
of the new school. Mr. Edsom states
that the founding of East Carolina
Teachers College is the climax of
the development of education in

JNot only is it most unfair to the

I think we would le showing a
much finer spirit if we left the

tainments and suspended ALL cam-
pus activities during our football,
basketball, and baseball games.
thletics here represent much
more than entertainment. They are
a means by which the entire stu-
dent body may receive valuable train-
ing. In the past, it has been rather
unfortunate that a number of gradu-
ates have left this college with prac-
tically no knowledge of the major
sports. Today, there is no reason
why such a condition should exist.
And the student who accepts the
opportunity will be getting a type
of training which is not available
in the classroom.
A teacher who doesn't know the
difference between a field goal and
a safety has little chance, I think,
of gaining a high school youngster's
confidence.

PLAYMAKERS ARE
WELL RECEIVED
Appearing here, on November 16
in the Robert H. Wright Audito-
rium, the Carolina Playmakers pre-
sented a program of three one-act
plavs written in Professor Koch's
pla'vwriting class at the University
of North Carolina. The plays on
bill were: "Quare Medicine by
Paul Green; "New Nigger by
Fred Howard; and "Tooth or
Shave bv Josephine Niggh.
In "Quare Medicine a hilarious
farce-comedy of a country quack
doctor, Paul Green has captured the
spirit and determination of the
country family, and has introduced
in Doctor Emanuel, a character
which will live long after the play
and players have been forgotten.
Doctor Emanuel was played in this
production by Harry Davis, busi-
ness manager of the Carolina Play-
makers. The play was written dur-
ing the author's undergraduate days
at the University of North Carolina
and is typical of the one act folk
plavs which have made the Caro-
lina Playmakers of particular inter-
est throughout this state.
"New Nigger" deals with the ten-
ant tobacco farms in the South. It
discloses a problem which arises
from the share-cropper's cruelty to
his Negro tenants. Big John, tin
jhief character of the play, sudden-
ly finds his simple life complicated
by hatred for the white man and a
desire for revenge. His forced flight
away from the law of the white man
is
a dramatic and forceful scene.

Stephens College, Missouri, offers
a course in "Artistic Loafing.
(Wonder how many of the students
here are qualified to teach the
course?)
Feeling in an especially poetic
mood today, here's an original bit
of collegiate verse we thought up
out of the Los Angeles Junior Col-
legian :

(Masterful and unusual use of
the tenses, don't you think? Yes.
neither do I.)
Every year college freshmen are
asked the routine question: "Why
did you decide to go to college?
But only this fall (so we heard)
has any new student shown a trace
of originality by confiding: "I

THE BALANCED COLLEGE
The cloister system of education originated in the convents and
monasteries of the Catholic Church. Nuns and monks were not supposed
fo socialize.
But the students of East Carolina Teachers College aren't nuns and
monks; and in this day of coeducation it's remarkable that the women
outnumber the men on this campus nearly nine to one.
Here men aro at a premium. The 965 women are heavily taxed to
ittract one of the 113 men. The competition is heated. But m the
long run the men will have to suffer most. Popular here out of all
proportion to their personal worth, they will have to face the disillusion
of the world beyond. i,
A large part of a person's education is learning to associate with
members of the opposite sex, learning to chat, to dine to dance with
them and in some instances even to outwit them. And the best way for
young men and young women to learn the art of association is to

FOURTEEN DELEGATES REP-
RESENT ECTC AT CONFERENCE
Playing on a rain-soaked gridiron,
the ECTC eleven smeared the
heavier Duke Varsity "B" aggrega-
tion 14-t here, November 6 in a
game which featured an 85 yard run
for a touchdown by Pirate Pratt
and excellent teamwork on the part
of the entire Pirate combination.
Rain fell throughout the play, but
the spectators who peered from
under umbrellas and out of car win-
dows, saw a fast, shifty game such
as would be expected on a dry day.
Fumbles were few, punts were long,
and passes, despite the condition of
the ball, were frequently good.

Twelve students of ECTC and
two town boys attended the Fifth
Annual Meeting of X. C. State Stu-
dent Methodist Conference in Dur-
ham, November G-S, 1886. The stu-
dent were accompanied by Miss Zoe
Anna Davis, director of Religious
Education at the Greenville Meth-
odist church. Duke University and
Trinity Methodist Church were
hostesses to the conference. There
were one hundred and fifty students
representing twenty colleges in
North Carolina. Those students
from ECTC were: Ruth Kiker,
Viola Smith, Lucille Clark, Ruby
Lee Peacock. Louise Davis, Evan-
gsfine Harfield, Marilyn Hender-
son. Grace Spencer, Marion Allen,
Elizabeth D. Johnson. Bertha Mae
Newsome, Eleanor Hardy, and
Charles Wooten. The Young Peo-
ple's Division of darvis Methodist
church was represented by Neil
Herring and Alton Johnston.
Miss Ruth Kiker who was elected
president of the Student Confer-
ence last year presided over The
meeting. Viola Smith was public-
ity chairman of the conference.
Dr. Wyatt Smart of Emory Uni-
versity, Atlanta, Ca the keynote

Duke scored early in the second
quarter, when Stevens ran 30 for a
touchdown. The try for the extra
point failed. On the next kickoff,
Pratt took the ball on the Pirate's
ir, and aided by blocking which
took ten Duke men out of play, zig-
zagged 8f yards to the goal line,
loose from the Duke safety man.
On an intended placement, the slick
ball was fumbled; Powell picked up
the ball and ran across for the extra
point.
In the second half the Pirates
played a defensive game. Several
times the "Little Blue Devils" drove
into Teachers' territory; but Pratt
kicked to safety.
The playing of Carpenter at guard
and of Gibson at end featured in
the line.

By JOE BRAXTON
The Pirates lost their second
game of the season to Guilford Col-

yards to the Teachers 86, but they
failed to collect on the touchdown.
The Quakers crossed ECTC's goal
three times?once the ball was
brought back and Guilford penal-
ized for holding?then Brinkley
recovered a Pirate lateral that was
fumbled and ran over the goal line
only to fumble himself.

ways played in the backfield until
this year and he has made good
there. He played a fine game Satur-

quests are an increase of 15 per cent
to take care of the growing enroll-
ment and rising prices, 20 per cent
raise in salaries and wages, and an
extra teaching staff of seven teach-
ers. The items in the list call for
equipment, replacements, furniture,

DEPARTMENT MEET
Elizabeth Gaskins Presents Inter-
esting Talk to Group
On Tuesday evening, November
10, about forty members of the
Commerce Department met for the
purpose of organizing a Commerce
Club.
Elizabeth Gaskins presented an
interesting talk on "The Need and
the Purpose of Having a Commerce
Club Beatrice Reeves was ap-
pointed temporary chairman. Those
in charge of the program were Bea-
trice Reeves, Elizabeth Gaskins, An-
nabel Teel, and Mildred Wilson.
It was decided that this group of
students meet again in the near fu-
ture to draw up a constitution and
also to nominate officers for their
organization.
"Education in Democracy" was
the subject of President Meadows'
talk to the students at their assembly
hour on Friday morning, November
13. This was the high spot in the
observation of Education Week.
Dr. Meadows presented four dif-
ficulties, with four remedies, in his
discussion of the present educational
system. Mass education, with over-
crowded classrooms and overloaded
teachers who cannot give each child
careful attention, he believes is the
first and greatest fault today.
Interference with teaching by
people not qualified to pass judg-
ment on them, and the setting up
of the standards by laymen, he be-
lieves are two great handicaps the
schools have to overcome in a de-
mocracy in which everybody feels
he knows as much as the profes-
sionally trained person.
Where teaching is recognized as
a profession and teachers and others
with a sympathetic, intelligent at-
titude towards teaching set the
standards, these two handicaps will
be overcome.
His hist point was that the sup-
ply of and the demand for teachers
should be worked out so that there
would not be overworked teachers
and trained teachers without jobs.
Shortening of hours, distribution
of the teacher load, and a readjust-
ment in the curriculum would re-
move this.
In introducing his subject, he
said, "We boast of our democratic
form of government, boast because
we respect it. boast of our educa-
tion system and boast in America
that every boy can reach any height
if he wants to
He called attention to the pageant
celebrating the one hundredth an-
niversary of the establishment of
public schools in North Carolina
which will be presented here on next
Friday during the meeting of the
North Carolina Association.
