SOUTHERN EDUCATIONAL
PREJUDICE is ATTACKED
DR.. Edgar w. Knight Of North

RICHMOND. Va, November &c.
THE Southern States must first face
honestly the facts of their educat ton
al deficiencies and get rid of provin
cial prejudice and acute sensitiveness
to just criticism" said DR.. Edgar w
Knight Of the University Of North
Carolina in an address before the Vir
ginia Education Association here.
Our Indifference to the low posi-
ton we occupy in education is
greater reproach than the backward
ness ITSELF" he declared.
Every well Informed Southerner is
aware Of and applauds the education
al progress Of the South during the
last quarter century. Measured ~
the South's own past that progress
has been large. but measured by ma.
tional standards and the South's pres.
ent educational needs. it has not been
as conspicuous as is often claimed
The South has advanced in education.
but it is not educationally an ad
vanced section of the country. Some
of the things we hrag about as edu
cational achievements would pass un.
noticed in States with really advanced
school systems" he said.

Also Are Affected by Tendency

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS-Trees are lightning rods and
the increasingly bad weather is due

man of wireless.
IF there are no longer seasons" he
says, "deforestation is the principal,
IL indeed. alas. not the sole cause.
'Trees on the heights. with their
pointed tips toward heaven and their
roots deep in the damp ground. are
nothing less than so many lightning
rods. constantly discharging into the
earth the atmospheric electricity and
thereby preventing its accumulation
in the clouds. an accumulation that
would cause terrible storms. In wood
ed districts there was calm but now
that the woods are being cut down
there are constant hard storms"
The need for protecting trees is well
recognized and the government next
year proposes to spend some money in
that direction but meantime owners of
forests say heavy taxes oblige them
