3. Social immortality, though found
everywhere, is in the South q
most serious part of its race problem.
Asheville has started a movement in
this matter which should find wide
support.

4. Child labor is a problem that
touches the very foundations of the

THE SOCIAL IDEAL
In conclusion let me remind you
that the South has an advantage over
other sections in building the City

the beauty" at hand in profusion.
Some one has said that art is not

fragments. but rather in building
beautiful alike in interior decoration,

FIELD DAY
. Fine weather-Stste Records Broken
Good Crowds.

Field Day, 1912. was notable in
showing up to the best advantage
the ability and sportsmanship Of
one man, Mr.. Ben Collins, who had
made over half OF Berea's points at
the intercollegiate track and field
meet In Lexington, took part In the
same three events In the home meet
and broke the state record In all
three. The day also showed fine new
material In LeMaster. Jones and
Hatch.
The events were called In nearly
the order printed and were all run
off In three hours very smoothly,
without the drag" OF some other
years. The records In all events were
fair. not low In any nor high except
In the three which were broken. The
high jump record which has stood
since 1903 was far exceeded. To the
audience the meet was quite good.
We regret that Our field days
are becoming more and more occas-
ions OF sedentary exercise rather
than active and hearty competition
for many contestants. For II IS
generally agreed that those who run
and jump and throw In sharp con-
tests derive greater good than those
who sit on the banks and occasion
ally jump up and yell. The day ought
to be so esteemed and advertised
that many times as large a proper
ton OF students should enter and
compete.
And We fear that the love Of fair
play and clean sport Is not what II
should be and might be. Our varsity
men always find that the inter-ool-
legiate contests are more nearly free
from wrangling and haggling. In
spite OF the larger number Of con-
testants. But this INTERCOLLEGIATE con-
test, OF course comes but once
year, and we cannot expect much
from class that recites 10 seldom.
The peace OF the home meet was
due not 80 much to sportsmanship AS
To disinterestedness, on the part OF
participants and officials. Unpleasant
conduct OF some competitors and IN
decision and haste OF several Off
Gals tended To slightly mar the
morning sport. We should cultivate
the spirit OF sport for sports sake
and train our men and instruct our
officials long enough beforehand 10
that the day would do more good
aud be even more pleasant.
