In the Greenville High School

eastern District Convention of the
North Carolina Teachers Assoeia-
tion was opened Friday afternoon.
i November 19, with the meeting of
the first general session in the Aus-
i tin Building Auditorium.
Dr. W. C. Jackson, president of
j the North Carolina Education As-
sociation, brought greetings to the
j district meeting from the North
Carolina Education Association. He
; urged that the five point program
! of the Association be continued and,
emphasis be placed on the oneness!
of the teaching profession in North
Carolina. He remarked that "the
most valuable thing for all teachers!
in North Carolina would be to do a i
better job of teaching Monday than
; they did today
The chief speaker of the after
noon was Dr. W. A. Brownell of i
Duke university. In developing his
topic of "Better Classroom Teach-
ing he asked and answered th"
thought-provoking question of "who
i- the good teacher?" "The good j
teacher is an alert, many-sided, well-)
rounded, attractive, stimulating per-
son said Or. Browne. He illus-
trated tin- point by showing the in
fluence that contact of pupils with
teachers of this kind ha upon the
student.
In addition, Dr. BrowneQ re-
marked that "a good teacher also
knows the real purposes of her work;
and attains those purposes through!
selection, arrangement, and direction
o) X ;e pupils learning experience
lie pointed out that a child is educat-
ed by engaging in experiences, ami
a real teacher translates her sub-
jects into experiences that the child
can comprehend.
In closing, Dr. Brownell again
placed emphasis on the good teacher
being an elert. many-sided, well-
rounded person.
One of the features of Friday
night was the after-dinner speech:
made by Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell at
the dinner meeting of the Superin-
tendents and Principals. By using
illustrations of his own experiences
he stressed the idea that teachers
should participate in the adminis-
tration and that the teachers and:
administration should induce the
children to cooperate and work with:
them in such a way as to break down

Unfair to Judge Morals of Today
By Morals of Yesteryear Says Deal
By JACK DANIELS
Mr. R. C. Deal in a recent discus-
sion on morals of college students
of today stated "I think it unfair to
judge the morals of one generation
by the standards of another He
continued by giving his opinion as
a college faculty member on the
standards of morals of college stu-
dents today.
General behavior? There is not
much difference. The practice of
smoking, dancing, etc. are more or
less influenced by the age we are
living in. Educational Obligations?
They fulfill them to a greater ex-
tent and there is more opportunity
for education. Ambitions? They
have much more ambitions in this
generation, spurred by the presence
of greater opportunities. Students
seem to be more mature, intelligent,
and more broadminded. Fin-onces?
Students have more money to spend
now but that is because there is mor
in circulation. Possession of money
has not harmed their morals. Re-
spect for elders? They have just as
much if not more, although they
have dropped a great amount of
formality in association with elder?
teachers, and professional men.
Religion? They are not concerned
so much with doctrinal beliefs but
are more interested in religious
fundamentals and take a more ac
tive part than in previous years

At a very impressive service of
the Young Woman's Christian As- j
soeiation recently, the Junior "Y"
Cabinet was installed. This cabinet
is an organization composed of twen-
ty freshmen, appointed by the mem-
bers of the Senior Cabinet, who are1
chosen because of their keen interest
shown in the work of the Y.W.C.A.
and also because they have shown
other signs of leadership during!
their stay on the campus.
Those who were elected are: Eu-
genia Allen, Doris Blaloek, Gerald-1

Han, Irene Mitcham, Elizabeth

Following their installation the
Junior Cabinet held a meeting in
which they elected the following of-
ficers for this year: President, Doris
Blaloek; Vice President, Mary
Frances Irvin; Secretary, Jeanette
Earley; and Treasurer, Geraldine
Bullock.
Prue Newby, a member of the
Senior Y Cabinet was elected as

tivities and is now serving as Secre-
tary of the Y.W.C.A.

Caswell Training School
Visited By Sociology Class
M
arne
By BILLY DANIELS
There's an old saying about "see-
ing is believing and Mr. M. L.
Wright, Professor of Sociology, used
that method of teaching last week
by taking the members of his classes
to visit the Caswell Training School
for the Mentally Deficient. This
visit came as a climax to a series of
lectures by Mr. Wright on mental
deficiency and its effects on society.
Three bus-loads of students visit-
ed the institute which is located in
Kinston, North Carolina. The stu-
dents were conducted through the
Training School by an official and
saw the inmates in their regular
daily activities. A large number of
the inmates demonstrated quite a
surprising ability in manual arts,
music, and other types of activities.
The Training School boasts a glee
club which would do credit to any
high school group, and the weaving,
sewing, and fancy work of the women
was especially good.
The students obtained a first-hand
knowledge of the various types of
mentally deficient and their abilities
and shortcomings. Mr. Wright ex-
plained that a feeble-minded indi-
vidual could usually do one type of
work exceptionally well, but found
it impossible to adapt himself to the
standards that society requires him
to meet.
One thing that particularly im-
pressed the visiting students was the
fact that the higher classes of the
