Juniors Elaborately
Entertain Seniors
Saturday Evening
Rev. Richard W. Hogue, executive
secretary of the Church League for
Industrial Democracy, gave three
talks to all the students of the col-lege
and one to the students df
Sociology II. Dr. Hogue spoke Sun-day
night at vesper services and at
chapel periods Monday and Tuesday.
His talks proved not only very enter-taining
and educational, but also
gave a new inspiration to many to
live the life of service.
The keynote of all the talks was
love of humanity. Dr. Hogue says
that "our industrial and social sys-tem
is like a factory working over-time
in the production of poverty,
crime and charity—these three—
and the greatest of these is poverty."
He believes that very little good can
be done until the churches reform
conditions which make for crime and
until child labor is prohibited. It is
the job of everyone to make the
world more of a place of brother-hood.
*
Dr. Hogue has had many experi-ences
in his life and he has always
found unselfishness and good cheer
among people in the worst conditions.
This proves one thing—namely, "If
human nature can produce these
fruits under such overwhelming
handicaps, restraints and oppression,
what can it not produce if given a
fair chance?" He believes that in
the law of the survival of the fittest,
the fittest are those who have quali-ties
most fitted for human usefulness
and service.

English Conference
Convenes at N. C. C.
On March 4 and 5
Problems of English Teaching Dis-cussed
and Officers Elected for, .
the Following Year.
Lights and laughter, music and gay
colors, men and maidens—'twas a
scene to delight the eye and excite
the imagination. March 5th had
really come bringing in its wake the
long awaited, much planned for
"Junior-Senior." Spencer building
was the scene of the gaiety and 8:30
o'clock the time.
A magic wand had seemingly been
waved over the old dining room and a
transformation effected by some
fairy god-mothers, Who were prob-ably
the juniors. A Holland land-scape
had replaced the usual every-day-
ness, and red and yellow tulips
bloomed in all their glory. A life
sized wind-mill occupied one end of
the hall from the window of which
gazed a young Dutch damsel, Julia
Ross. In the center of the room a
large tulip bed grew and the lights
with their yellow and red petal
shades resembled a huge upturned
bed of that same flower. The tables
had as centerpieces tiny wind-mills
on beds of tulips and were further
decorated by vases of tulips and fern.
The place cards were small Dutch
girls who bore on their wide aprons
the words "Junior-Senior, March 5,
1921."

The annual conference of North
Carolina State Council of English
Teachers at which various problems
of English teaching were discussed,
came to a successful close on Satur-day,
Mareh 5th. The conference
opened Friday evening with an ad-dress
by Dr. Allan Abbot, of Teach-er's
College. After this, the dele-gates
and visitors were delightfully
entertained at an informal reception
by members of the English faculty.
Officers of the ensuing year are
as follows: Miss Rennie Peele,
Goldsboro High School, president;
Prof. C. A. Hibbard, University of
North Carolina, vice-president; Miss
Annie Beam, Greensboro High School,
secretary and treasurer; Prof. R. H.
Thornton, North Carolina College,
reportorial secretary, and Prof. A.

DR. FOUST REPORTS ON
HIS WORK IN RALEIGH
The good things instead of "hav-ing
an end" seem to be continuing
through the spring this year, for
hardly is one thing over before invi-tations
are out for something else.
The particular thing now being antic-ipated
is the entertainment of the
Dikeans and Cornelians by the Adel-phians
tonight. Invitations were is-sued
a week ago to a play to be given
in the college auditorium tonight,
each invitation bearing the name of
the Adelphian escort for the particu-lar
Dikean or Cornelian receiving it.
The invitations read as follows:
"Adelphia extends a most cordial in-vitation
to her sister societies in the
college auditorium at 8:15, March
12, 1921.
BEGINNERS' DANCING CLASS
WILL MEET TUESDAY NIGHT
The dancing class for beginners,
which was gotten up by a committee
from the student body under the
supervision of Miss Coleman; will
meet Tuesday night. The number of
students who attended the class last
time proves that they are interested
in it.
Dr. Foust gave, as Mr; Smith ex-pressed
it, "A report of everything
he did while he was in Raleigh," at
chapel time Wednesday.
First he told about the most im-portant
activities of the General As-sembly.
Taxation, the road bill, and
education were the big issues. The
appropriation for this college for the
next two years will be $875,000. Dr.
Foust thanked the students for their
co-operation in the fight for the ap-propriation,
and ended by impressing
upon them the great debt that they
owed the state. This, he said, could
be paid in the services which the stu-dents
may render after they leave the
college and go out in the state to
work.
As soon as Dr. Foust finished,
Eunice McAdams took the stage, and
led several songs to Doctor Foust.
Every student put herself whole
heartedly into these songs, trying to
show Dr. Foust how much she ap-preciated
his untiring work for the
college in the education fight. At
the last the students sang the college
song with a feeling which showed
that the spirit they had put into the
fight had not weakened, but grown
stronger.

NORTH CAROLINA PHYSICAL
EDUCATORS SOCIETY MEETS
The first convention ■ and institute
of the North Carolina Physical Edu-cators
Society is being held in Dur-ham
this week. The program, which
the committee with M. R. Clark as
chairman has prepared, is very in-teresting
and has caused many peo-ple
of the state to answer their chal-lenge
by coming to the convention,
to. help the boys and girls of North
Carolina "to develop their bodies as a
decent, repository for their minds
and souls."
The North Carolina College faculty
who are taking part in the program
are: Miss Mary Channing Coleman,
who is directing a folk dancing insti-tute;
Dr. E. C. Lindeman, who lec-tures
on "Recreation and Social
Progress;" Dr. A. P. Kephart, who
speaks on the "Physical Condition
and its Relation to Delinquency," and
Miss Alice Bivens who leads a discus-sion
on the "Co-ordination of Music
with Physical Training.
The performance of Washington
Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" by Tony
Sarg's marionettes on their specially
constructed stage and with their own
very fine lighting and stage effects
amused and entertained a most ap-preciative
audience at the North
Carolina College for Women last
night. It was indeed a puppet show
de luxe, and the audience marveled
more^than once at the wonderful
antic? and uncanny performances of
these creations of the cartoonist,
Tony Sarg.
Though the puppet show is a very
old thing, the art of such marion-ettes
as those performing last night,
is a new art. The diminutive figures
were manipulated by more than 400
strings and moved, acted and talked
with the finish of humans.
All of Irving's interesting and
whimsical characters came before the
audience: Rip himself, before and
after his long slumber; Dame Van
Winkle, she of the scolding tongue;
Judith, his daughter; Wolf, his dog;
Van Bummell, the school master;
Nicholas Vedder, the inn keeper; a
parrot named Profanity, and a host
of lesser creations. Goblins, spooks
and birds moved about with uncanny
realism, and the scenes m the cave
with Hudson and his crew were mas-terpieces
of staging.
The play was given in four acts,
with seven scenes, each scene teem-ing
with that quaint and fascinating
atmosphere so typical of the early
Dutch settlers. This classic of the
Catskill mountains and its weird in-tures
of Rip, never grows old, and
it was followed with intense inter-est
by grown-ups as well as children
last night. The small figures are so
proportioned to the stage on which
they play that the illusion of the
play was almost perfect.—Greens-boro

DR. CHARLES MYERS TALKS
AT VESPER SUNDAY NIGHT
One of the most enjoyable Vesper
services this year was held last Sun-day
evening in the College auditor-ium.
Vera Ward read the Bible les-son
after which she led in prayer.
Mr. Fielding Fry then sang a gospel
song which Dr. Myers followed up
with a very inspiring talk. He based
his talk on the text, "And Saul Took
His Sword and Fell Upon It." He
said each one of our gifts was liken-ed
to a sword with which we can do
evil or good at will. After Dr.
Myers' talk, Miss Kate Johnson sang
an old Scotch song, "My Ain Coun-trie."
