erations lies a much deeper sionifi-
canoe for the educational renaissance
which has gripped Europe. The
young people of these warridden
countries have come to realize that
leadership is the primary essential in
they know that in many
cases they were falsely led in the past
1t is their determination to secure the
tools where with to ham
mer out their own destinies. There
is an honest and sincere attempt on
the part of the young men and the
young women of Europe to seek the
truth, for at last they have come to
that it is only through
truth that they may be free. 1t is an
old and trite truism that the young
are the hope of the world, but the
maxim takes on new meaning in the
light of modern events in Central Eu-

EDUCATION AND SOCIAL WORK
IN EUROPE
IN EUROPE
f. G.. Lindennan

Economic phases of the reconstruc-
tion of Europe receive considerable
attention in the public press; less is
written in regard to the changes
which have been wrought since the
armistice in the fields of education
and social work. These three phases
OF Metaphysical (economic), men
tai (education), and social (organiz-
ed social work k)-are. of course, in
terdependent. However, the last two
phases have a significance in them
selves. Economic recovery is in no
sense the sole determining factor in
the future of Central Europe. What
happens in the educational systems
of European states during the next
ten years will in large measure de-
termine the future of those states.
The same applies to the development
of social ideals
The observer in Europe in the year
1921 is impressed, first of all, with
the fact that education has passed
through or is passing through a rem
aissance. Everywhere there are evil
dences of new attitude toward edu-
eationa1 processes. This is not mere
ly true in the quantitative sense, but
in the qualitative as we'll The uni
versities and colleges Of Central Eu-
r'pe are over-crowded with students;
this states the case in the mildest Of
terms. There will be $4,000 univer-
sity students in the city of Prague
this winter. There are more than
10000 students in the University of
Vienna. The German universities
and high schools (colleges) especial
ly the technical schools are filled be-
yond their capacities.
What is most astonishing about
this new interest in higher education
is the fact that this new student in
flux is coming largely from the middle
of European student who was "sent'
to the university and who lived a
more or less indolent life has passed
out of existence. These new searchers
after knowledge come almost with
empty hands. In Vienna the average
income of the students is from 500 to
900 crowns. The absolute minimum
budget for student is 1900 crowns
It will be seen that many must have
far less than the minimum, and this is
the fact. Practically every student
in the university of Vienna is obliged
to work, and last year more than one
third of them were obliged to ac-
agencies.
Perhaps this is the place to mention

The mere mention of baritones in
evitably suggests the name of Titta
Ruffo and after it has been spoken
there is no other. So far as voices
in general are concerned this is a
unique situation. The question, "who
is the worlds greatest tenor?" is
sure to bring the counter question,
do you mean lyric or dramatic?"
and when sopranos are under discus
sion one is likely to differentiate
even further with the coloratura type
and perhaps the mezzo range And
even when these distinctions have
been made endless argument is still
possibility particularly if the sing
ers of past generation are included.

THE WORLDS GREATEST BARI
TONE

When Titta Ruffo, who will sing in
Raleigh Oct. 10, sang in New York
City about six years d6go and amazed
the metropolis with the power and
beauty of his phenomenal voice, he
was unanimously named by the con-
noisseurs 1.-The greatest baritone in
the world and the title has remained
in his undisputed possession ever
since. Perhaps never before in the
history of music has there been such
concensus of opinion in regard to a
single voice.
Since that time, the art of Titta
Ruffo has mellowed and matured to
an extent that now makes possible the
substitution of an even more eulo-
CYSTIC phrase, "the greatest baritone
of all time It is true that the Ital-
ian giant has had less competition in
his own field than have the famous
tenors and sopranos of the past, for

range but pleasing quality which
have been called baritones by courte-
sy. But the true baritone must be
able to ascend into the tenor register
which means the high B-f1at at least
without a sacrifice of his individual
tonal coloring, and he must descend
with equal ease into the depths OF
the fundamental bass notes, again
with his personal quality unscathed.
Few men in opera or on the concert
stage have possessed the necessary
vocal technique for such feats, quite
apart from all considerations of in
terpretive art and tonal beauty. Not
one has presented the complete syn
thesis as does Ruffo.

DISCUSS EDISON'S PLAN
FOR SNOW REMOVAL.

New York, Oct. 11.-Engineers in
terested in snow removal from city
streets have considered perfecting a
machine built forty years ago by
Thomas A. Edison, but left in an ex-
perimentaI stage because the inventor
turned his work into other fields.
This machine, drawn by a horse,
devoured the flakes and disgorged
them in icy blocks which occupied on
ly one-tenth the space of the fallen
snow and made removal easy. In
letter from Mr.. Edison, recently read
at a forum on "snow removal in
cities,' the inventor expresses be-
lief that a competent engineer could
readily figure out an efficient means

ed one of Barbara Heck and Captain
Webb in the early days of Methodism
in New York City.
The earnestness of this good wo-
man deeply impressed the three men
and especially Mr.. Ishido., The meet

week to week until Mr.. Ishido's con-
science was SO deeply stirred that he

One man remarked upon receiving
several hundred dollars that he had
never expected to get it. 1t was as
good as picked up and instead of u.s.
ing it himself, he donated it to a
school.
At the expiration of about four
years, Mr.. Ishido was in his office one
day in Vladivostok, with his brother
and clerk. An unknown assailant
entered the office, shot his brother
and the clerk dead, and then wheel

him through the jaw. The murderer

influence has gone SO far that in Ger

their students unions to perform six

country had sent a protest to the far

mands. He declared that these de-
mands had not as yet been accepted.
Japan has extensive fishery interests
in Kamchatka.
This report of the transfer of part
of the peninsula of Kamchatka to the
soviet government in Moscow ap-
pears to have a direct bearing upon
concessions granted there to Wash
ington b. Nanderlip of California by
the polshevik regime in Russia. The
concession. covering the exploitation
of the Oil. coal and fishery interests
of kamchatka. was granted last year.
Mr.. Nanderlip left the United States
for Russia early in February and ar
rived in Moscow March 8. Since that
time official statements made by lead
ers of the boishevik government have
indicated a reversal in economic and
political policies by the bolsheviki,
and more friendly attitude seems
to have been adopted by the authori-
ties in Moscow. Information receiV-
ed in this country would indi-
cate that the concession grant
ed the American interests repre-
sented by Mr.. Vanderlip would
be worked by Russian labor. 1t was
declared that the concession was
granted without restrictions as to
methods of development, the bolshe-
Wiki having waived their original de-
mand that the exploitation of the
property should be carried out under
soviet laws.
The rights of the far eastern re-
public have been in the past consid-
cred a formidable obstacle to the
consummation of the transaction by
which American interests would Sc
cure the concessions.
