FacUlty Sets Aside Sat- Special ~u~ses For urday, November 19th, Society· Day Games

In response to an invitation by Dr. H. B. Jones and Prof. A. B. Peacock, both of the English Department, sev­eral other members <Of the faculty espe· c~ally interested in English, ~d all the students majoring in English here, met Wednesday night in the Adminis·

as a Holiday; High Point -·Wake - Forest Game Feature of So­ciety Day Program.

Society Day is again to become a . classic da.y in the hiatory of Wake Forest College.

Saturday, November 19, has . been set aside by the faculty as a holiday. The. morning exercises will consist of a debate, and in the afternoon there will be a football game against High Point College. Iri the early. part of the evening there will be orations and a.n address by Dr. Gaines. Immediate­ly following this exercise the society balls will be thrown open for a re·

,ception. Dr. Chas. Brewer, president of Mere­

dith College, has consented to the at· tendance of the young ladies from Meredith in order to make Society Day the greatest success possible. In· co­operation with the Society Day Com· mittee, Graduate Manager Carroll bas made it possible for each student to carry one young woman on his student ticket to the game. Thus it is be­lieved that Society Day will be a great success owing to the· incessant labors of the Society Day Committee and the co-operation of the faculty and Dr. Brewer.

_t\.t 10:30 W. H. Plemmons, president· of Society Day, Euzellan, will open the morning session, assisted by G. N. Ashley, secretary, Philomathesian .. The query for discussion at this ~ime is: "Resolved, Tha.f the Philippine Islands be granted their complete and immedi­ate independence." The affirmative will be upheld by members of the Phi· lomathesian Literary Society-C. E. Weston and W. S. Privott. The nega· tlve will be contended: by the repre· sentatives from the Euzelian Literary Society-B. T. Henderson and P. W. Cooper. These men were chosen to represent their societies by a prelimi· 'nary contest:. Therefore this debate promises to be of an· unusual calibre.

At 2:30 every one is invited to Gore Field to witness the High Point game, This promises to be a good game as High Point has won the championship of the Little Five.

In the evening at 7:30 ,the orations will be delivered. The :first speaker will be H. C. Hopkins, Euzelian, speak· ing on "A Plea for Moral Education in North Carolina." . The second speaKer is M. ~ Cree, Philoma~hesian, having· as his topic "College Ideals." Succeeding M. B. Cree is ·R. P. Caudill, -Euzelian, speaking' on the subject "The Battle of the Border." The last oration will be delivered by E. T. Par­bam, Philomathesilin, who chose as his topic "·A Vertical Spine." tollow· ing these orations will be an address by Dr. F. P. Gaines. The evening's program from the subjects chosen by the speakers bids to be of a very high type. .

Upon the conclusion of the exercises in Wingate Memorial Hall the society balls will be opened for a. reception. This reception is to be in charge of the two society sponsors. Miss Angie Dancey from Hays, N. C., will be in charge in the Euzelian Lite1·ary Society Hall, and Miss Mildred Vogler from N. C. c. W. will preside in the Philomathesian Literary Society ball.

Wake· Forest Man Gains. Literary Fame Gerald Johnso.n Writes Highly

Praised Biography of An-'

drew Jackson

Further laurels are being heaped upon Gerald White Johnson, a gradu­ate of Wake Forest in the class .of 1911, who has in' the past three pr four years risen by leaps and bounds to success in the literary world. His latest book, "Andrew Jackson: An Epic in Homespun," has brought high praise. The book is being acclaimed in New York papers as the greatest biography of the year, and has been favorably and prominently reviewed in practically all the leading dailies of the country.

Mr. Johnson, in that clear, forceful style that characterized "The Unde· feated," his book on Gutzon Borglum, and. "What Is News?" a valuable hand· book for the layman on the techni· calities of the newspaper office, telis the thrilling story of the life of that picturesque frontiersman, Andrew Jackson. A copy of the book has not' reached the Wake Forest campus, but if we are to rely upon the New York Times, the story is quite well told, and sheds no slight amount of new light upon the powerful figure of Jackson.

Wake Forest students are also inter­ested in an article of Mr. Johnson's in the current Harper's, "Should the Colleges Educate?!' Mr. Johnson, since leaving Wake Forest in 1911, has bad a great deal of experience with colleges and universities. He was for some time head of the depart· ment of Journalism at the University of North Carolina. His point of view in the Harper's article is refreshing and novel, and is :receiving .widespread attention among . Wake Forest stu-

There was just as much appeal to one of Horace's little poems as it was read and sold in Rome as there is to the same poem today.

"Seek worthy recognition. for when you're dead, though your day may come thereafter and all men will laud you, you will never know the joy of the recognition of your fellowman. It is a great thing to appeal to humanity and have it respond.

"Don't worship the dollar; don't grow mercenary. But don't be .afraid to look into his kingdom once in a while to see how he is getting along.

"Dream, young· man, dream," was the closing remark of Dr. Sledd before he began to read from his own poems.

·Dr. Sledd related with peculiar forcefulness and eharm a dream of his conceiving the return of an old master teaeher of his boyhood. Then the speaker read several of his poems; clos­ing with his fine poem on Milton. Dr. Sledd's reading wa·s keenly enjoyed and sincerely appreciated by all who heard him.

Wake Forest Band ' Making Good Record

Material for Band Is Abundant; Definite Schedule for Sea­

son Worked Out

The Wake Forest College band is working under a definite schedule and is· being strengthened in all the differ­ent phases of an up-to-date college band, according to officials of the or· ganization.

Material for the band is abundant, it was said, and every man has had sufficient experience to insure .the stu­dents one of the best college bands in the state. ,The music is the best obtainable-army marches. special numbers and popular &.P.lections. While the. band is only in its infancy· there is promise of an early maturity under the direction of Professor Isbell.

At the present time plans are being perfected for a comprehensive cam­paign to make the band financially in­dependent and to insure the continu­ance of the organization. The cam­paign is under the direction of Profes­sor Isbell and will be placed before the student body within a few days.

The cooperation of every student is asked in the matter.

Arrangements are being made for the band to go to Asheville for the Mercer game Thanksgiving. However, the band will make two public appear­ances prior to that time, at chapel on Armistice Day, and at the High Point College game here, November 19.

The proposed joint production of Dr. Greenbaum, a noted chemist, and the Wake Forest student-chemist, will appear in the Medical Review some time in the near future.

Deacon-Marine Meet ffiday In Richnio-...:t~Va.

Demon Deacons~~ Strong Quantico Ma- · rines in Armistice Day Classic.

Departing early Thursday, the Bald· win-coached Deacons from Wake For­est College journeyed to Richmond, where they did battle with the strong Quantico Marines in an Armistice Day classic yesterday. Results of the game are unobtainable as the Or.I> Gor.n AND BLACK goes to press.

The Soldiers have yet to lose a game this season, and the Deacon team they faced was weak :from injuries, with several stars missing. Ober, Hackney, Phifer, and Luke Person are still on the injured list.

The condition ot Stallings was prob­lematical. He played in the Furman

and though troubled with his leg injucy, stuck it out.

The Demon Deacons had a scant sup­ply of material to can on. For the backfield there were Kuykendall, Ayers, Mills, and Gibson, while the line had Del).ton, Padgett, Harris, Stroupe, and Dawkins as reserve men. Smith is the' only available player on the Dea­con squad who, if compelled by ne· cessity, can fill the pivot position.

The probable line-up of the Marine game: Clayton and Dorsett, ends; Phelps and Zimmerman, tackles; Weir and Ot Person, guards; Lennon, cen· · ter; James, quarterback; Stallings and Co:x, halfbacks; Connelly, fullback.

SOCIETY DAY

Socirty Day must be made a suc­cess. :Ext.rnsive, almost elaborate, plans haYc been made for the cnt!'r­tainmcnt ·of guests nud for maki1ig the general program a credit to the college and enjoyable to the visitors and all CO!lCCI'llPd.

The exccptioHal effort 011 the part of the li tC'rary societies fo revitalize and make more significant and sali­ent this day given over to the pro­gram of the two most consistently active student organizations on the campus has met w-ith splendid co­operation from the faculty.

Bringing of visitors to the campus for an all-Jay program this year is a splendid thing for the college. People will have an opportunity to ~earn something about the school; they will have a chance to hear the president's report direct, and, natur­ally, will :find themselves in an atti­tude of certain interest in the con­dition of the college, its hopes, its prospects, its aims, its policies.

Again, the campus will, it IS hoped, be ct·owded with Yisitors on Society Day; and these v-isitors will be forming impressions that will be either beneficial or detrimental to Wake Forest. Wake Forest men must show. them.seh·es gentlemen in every re-.spect and carry out every feature of the day's program in a high tone of action ·an~ with unfail­ing courtesy and consideration.

If Society Day is made a succes~, then Anniversary Day will most likely be a success. But if, after this extra effort on the part of the literary societies, the Society Day program should be a fal.lure, we stand a very fine chance of slipping back into a slough that will be worse than that of the past.

A successful program for Society Day has many potential benefits. Every man here will reap the bene­fits, and every man here should sup­port this outstanding campus m·ent.

Something Is Always Taking the Joy Out of Lifo • • • • By BRIGGS In Charlotte In 19.28 +·-.. -·--·-.. -·-.. ---+

Will Probably Meet Davidson and Furman on Wearn Field;

Oct. 27 and Nov. 3 the Dates

Charlotte will be the scene of two major football battles next year-one a North Carolina Big Five classic be­tween Wake Forest and Davidson, and the other the annual clash between the Deacons and the li_'urple Hurricane from Furman University-if present plans of Wake Forest athletic otncia~s materialize"·

This was learned from J. G. Carroll, graduate manager of athletics here.

The Demon Deacons are scheduled to play Davidson next year on October 27, accord'lng to recent negotiations between officials, and while a gridiron for the contest has not yet been select­ed, Mr. Carroll has evinced belief that the• game will go to Charlotte if .. suit­able· arrangements can be made. '

Mr. Carroll informed the Old Gold and Black that he is endeavoring to reach an agreement with Davidson au­thorities whereby the Deacon·Wildcat game will be definitely scheduled for the Queen City.

Wearn Field will probably be the scene of battle.

Since the annual contest between Wake Forest and Furman was re· moved this year at Furman's request from Charlotte to Greenville, S. C., the home field of the Hurricane, Mr. Carroll said it had been ,.almost defi­nitely decided that the two Baptist

' teams should meet in the Queen City next November 3.

It was Furman's agreement that if the Deacons consented to play in Greenville this year, the Hurricane would play next season . wherever Wake Forest officials decided. And with Charlotte having been mutually agreed upon by both teams as the set­ting for next year's battle, the meeting in Charlotte seems almost certain.

According to the. present arrange· ment of Wake Forest's 1928 grid sched­ule, which is rapidly being completed, the Deacons will open the season Sep· tember 29 at Wake Forest by playing the Carolina Tar Heels. The three remaining Big Five classics follow in a row, the present schedule shows.

The Baptists will encounter the State College Wolfpack in Raleigh, as usual, on October 18, followed by the Davidson Wildcats on October 27, and Jimmy DeHart's Blue Devils from Duke University on November 10. This game will be played at Durham, Mr. Carroll said. ._

It is still undecided whether Wake Forest will book the Walker machine from Elon next season. The Fighting Christia~s threw a big scare into the ranks of Deacon supporters, and kicked the proverbial dope bucket sky high by holding the surprised Deacons to an empty score several weeks ago.

This, however, would not be suffi-. cient reason· for the Deacons to re· frain from scheduling a game with Elon. The Wake Forest athletic heads might be after a bigger drawing card.

According to Graduate Manager Carroll, September 22 is being held open for a light game. Just which team will form the opposition in this light game remains to be seen, al­though Mr. Carroll was not positive that the team. would be scheduled to play on that date.

(By McNeill)

The Deacons take up the trail again this Friday. This time they go to Richmond to tackle the strong Quan· tico Marine eleven there Saturday. The Baptists have _ a job on their hands when they go up; against the soldiers. The Marines are reputed to have one . of the strongest teams in their history.

* * * Coach Lingle had an opportunity to

give his second·string men some work last Saturday at Wingate. The Baiby Deacons are getting quite a reputation as a heavy scoring team throughout the State .•

* "' * That 53-to-0 defeat at the hands of

Furman last Saturday was the worst since 1923, when Carolina handed us a 52-to·3 setback.

Two more touchdowns were added to the ever-growing list of the Hurri­~ane in the last stanza. Byrne inter­cepted a pass, and raced 25 yards to a six-pointer. Hurt concluded the fes­tivities with a 24·yard dash to the Deacon goal line.

The Wake Forest offensive may be summed up in two passes for 33 yards. They registered two first downs, one of these a penalty. Box score and summary: Furman Engleb~rg

WllAT CAN COLLEGES ' GIVE?

By DR. GLENN FRANK

Presirle1lt of the U'll.iversity of Wiscmtsin a1ld former Editor of C':"tUTl/ Magazine

The least practical thing about the American university is the practical courses 'it gives.

I have just talked with the father of a son who is slated for a business career. He doubts the wisdom of send-· ing the son to a university for train­ing in its school of commerce.

"Why I've had graduates of schools of com~erce to come into my busi­ness," he said, "who couldn't ma~ipu­late a comptometer;/ Their heads were full of a lot of impractical economic bunk, but they had learned nothing practical. Wouldn't they have been better off if they had plunged immedi­ately into business?"

Here is the great. American illusion -that early and exclusive l!peciallza­tion in the mastery of practical tech­niques makes practical men.

1 call to the witness stand the dis­tinguished English scientist, Professor Karl Pearson, whose mind was singu­larly free from romantic. nonsense about educa,tion.

"I have been engaged for sixteen years in helping to train engineers," he said "and those of my old pupils who ar~ now coming to the front in life are not those who stuck to facts and formulre, and sought only for what they thought would be •useful to them in their profession.'

"On the contrary, the lads who paid attention to method, who thought more of proofs than of formulre, who ac­cepted even the specialized branches of their training as a means of develop­ing habits of observation rather than of collecting 'useful facts,' these lads

have developed into men who are suc· ceeding in life.

"And the reason of this seems to me, wll,en considering their individual cases, to be that they could adapt themselves to an eD:vironment more or less different from that of the existing' profession; they could go beyond its procedure, its formulre, and its facts, and develop new ones.

"Their knowledge of method and their powers of observation enabled them to supply new needs, to answer to the call when there was a demand, not for old knowledge but for trained brains.

"The 6nly sort of technical education the nation ought to trouble about is teaching people to see and think. ·

"What we want are trained brains, scouts in all fields, and not a knowl­edge of facts and processes crammed into - a wider ran~[e of untrained minds."

If we want our sons to. be more ef­fective in practical' action after they leave our colleges and universities, we must make our liberal education more real, rather than coaching our sons from the start in the manipulation of comptometers.-(Cpr., 1927.)

LOW CAPITAL BLAMED FOR BANK FAILURES

Houston, Texas, Nov. 9.-More than 3,800 banks, or one-eighth of the total. banks of the country, failed during the past six years, according to reports to the American Bankers' Association. These failurt-s brought "terrific losses" to depositors.

The report should dispel the illu­sion that banks can operate with !ow capital and unskilled mnnag~ment.

CUBAN SUGAR CONTROL BASED ON FARM RELIEF

Washington, Nov. 9.-Control of Cuban sugar production by the Gov­ernment appears to place opponents of the McNary-Haugen farmers' re­lief bill in an awkward position.

The Cuban Government has taken charge of the sugar-producing indus­try in that island. Planters will be· told how much sugar can be pro­duced and how .much can be exported' to the United States. There is the·: equivalent of the McNary-Haugen equalization plan, too. Equalization is especially obnoxious to opponents of farm relief.

It is agreed that the purpose of the Cuban Government is to raise prices for American consumers, who· now demand that this Government retali­ate by withdrawing the 20 per cent preferential tariff which applies to Cuban sugar exports.

American capitalists object to this policy. They )lave $75,000,000 in­vested in the Cuban sugar industry. These capitalists, however, oppose the same features in the farmers' re­lief bill.

, Administration spokesmen are likewise protesting that American capital in Cuba must be protected, but the farmers' spokesmen are ask­ing about capital invested in Ameri­can farms, which is a thousand times greater than the amount invested in Cuban sugar.

Eu"s Strike Stride In· a Good Debate

Logic, Eloquence, and Verbosity Characterize Discussion of

Cancellation of Debts

Upon the historic battleground of the Euzelian Literary Society there raged, on Thursday evening of last week, a furious forensic combat.

The point of contention which gave rise to the terrific onslaught of verbal missiles was the cancellation by the United States o! the Allied war debts. For the offense, Mr. W. C. Hopkins opened the attack with that striking linguistic eloquence so characteristic of him. Then with bold sweeping gcs· tures and in gorgeous colors, with the precision of an artist, painted a pano· ramie picture of the history of tile eYents out of which sprang the ques­tion at issue.

For the negative, Mr. W. C. Hopkins, brother of the speaker before him, who, though 'lacking somewhat in tbe fiery eloquence of the former, in no mean fashion presented his line of argument in a concise, forceful man· ner, a part of which at no time did the affirmative attempt to refute. His major points were: (1) The debts are just and legal and should therefore be paid; (2) The Allies are able to pay the debts.

New England may, however, rebuild without fear of the early re­currence of a similar disaster. Such a flood as· the present one had not been known since 1854, and need not be expected soon again.

The devastation in the North should bring home, however, the peril under which the Mississippi Val­ley residents have lived for decades. It is not only when the earth can no longer absorb excessive rainfall that floods threaten there. Each year the inhabitants of the Mississippi water­shed anxiously watch the banks of that turgid body of water. Work on the levees has never ceased since it was begun. Each spring there are breaks somewhere along the line. There have been other disastrous fioods in the last two decades.

There has been some fear that members of Congress living distant from the fiood area might minimize the danger, or seek to play politics with the problem of •ood control. The New England floods served to reemphasize the necessity for prompt and decisive action. The representa­tives of the northeastern states will have a bond of fellow-suffering with those who come to Congress from the South. Such an alliance will brook neither delay nor equivocation. It should result in sober considera­tion and a real solution of a question that demands the service of every talent that can be devoted to it.
