Outdoor Play Tonight
"A Midsummer Nights Dream" to BE
Presented in Forest Theatre

The people who dwell near
the east edge of the campus and
who stroll in that corner of the
village have been hearing, in
these last few days, strange
voices. coming from Battle
Park. For a while a booming
bass, then the piping notes of
children, then dignified periods
befitting queen or a duke.
Now and then comes a halt in
the recitations, and somebody is
heard to be telling the speakers
to step to this side or that, or
backward or forward, and to
augment their emphasis here
and reduce it there-and don't
forget that you've got to make
the folks up here on the hill un-
derstand you clearly"
This somebody is Frederick
II. Koch. He is standing on the
side of the Hill, waving his
hands about, and shifting his
pipe from one hand to the other
and from hand to mouth, and
calculating his commands. Not

Chapel Hill Chaf

Dick Battle, home from Tur-
key on a furlough, was in Chap
el Hill Tuesday. l questioned
him eagerly about his doings
abroad, as always question
people who have been dwelling
in far away lands, and in the
course of our talk he told me
that his chief recreation was
bridge. He plays mostly with
other Americans, sometimes
with Turks.
"You know, bridge originated
in Smyrna, he said. THE word
siam comes from saldam. When
four Turks are playing and one
side makes a little slam the los
ers rise from their seats and
make a salaam; that is, a bow.
When it is a grand slam the los
ers make a more elaborate sa-
laam, a lower bow, and touch
the floor with their hands"
Why shouldn't the bridge
players in Chapel Hill adopt this
custom? Surely they ought not
to let the Turks outdo them in
politeness and good sportsman
ship. | know some players here
whose contours would make the
little salaam difficult and the
grand salaam just about impoS-
sible, but they can overcome
this obstacle by dieting. There
are other players who are al
ready qualified to perform the
ceremony with grace, and the
example of these might per-
suade the stout element to UNI
dergo the necessary abstention
from starches and fats and
sweets.
What Dick told me about the
origin of bridge sent me to the
Encyclopedia Brlttanica for fur
ther information. | find that
the encyclopedia knows much
less about it than Dick. 1t says
that "the origin of the game is
very doubtful. 1t is sometimes
said to have originated in Rus
sia, but there is no satisfactory
proof of that statement. The
game is probably of Levantine
origin" That bears out Dick,
for Smyrna is in the Levant.

Brougham, returning to London
from Cairo in 1894, entered a

Thomas S. Norfeet

I had been having some CORE
spondence with Thomas S. Nor
fleet, and he had told me that he
was a pupil Of my grandfather's,
and schoolmate of my fathers
in Granville county in the year
1864. On Friday afternoon Of
last week I went to call upon him
at his home in the northern neck
of BERTHE.
Here I found myself in the old
ante-bellum atmosphere. The
house stands in a grove of an
cient oaks, and around it is a
profusion of shrubs and flowers.
Only Norf1eets have lived in it
since it was built 120 years ago.
The land, hundreds of acres of
it, was decided to an ancestor of
the present owner by one Of the
Lords Proprietors in the 18th
century. AS you look out over
the great flat stretches you real
ize that the word farm is made
uuate: this domain is an old
time plantation.
Mr.. Norfieet was born in July
of l849, and so he will soon be
S4 He and Mrs. Nortieet cele-
brated their golden wedding an
niversary on the first of March
this year.
The sound of the car announc-
ed our arrival, and he came down
the path from the porch and un-
latched the gate to let us in. In
a spacious, high-ceilinged living
room he presented us to Mrs.
Norheet and their daughter.
About the people and the place
was the air of graciousness and
ease that tradition associates
with the Old South. In one re-
spect, though, the room was
modern: with the old furniture
and the old books were maga-
zines and newspapers. Among
the periodicals were the Liter

Education Excoriated by
Jones in an Article in Scribner' s

that is, not susceptible of a spe-
cific technique"
"One or two matters seem
reasonably clear. The first is
that the American nation needs
to be awakened to the defcien-
cies of it's teachers colleges and
normal schools in content, and
to the alarming multiplication
of courses in chronological edu-
cational gadgets in these insti-
tutions. The educationalist
does lip service to the necessity
of making the teacher master of
his subject, but as a matter of
cold fact it is entirely possible,
and it is often true, that the
graduate of a normal school or
teachers college is licensed to
teach for life though he have the
meagerest knowledge of the ma
terial he is to teach. His train
ing, however, in educational
psychology methods, tests
and measurements, and similar
elaborate and futile courses has
been extensive. Unfortunately,
when he faces his first class, he
finds that these fade away as the
mist, and that his class, with the
cruel candor of youth, judges
him by his ability to show a
mastery of his subject.
1T would be a revelation to
the average citizen if he would
read, as an example of what has
happened in education the pro-
gram of courses offered in any
school or department of educa-
ton during any SUMMER term
a period when, because teachers
are free to attend college, the
educationalist is in his element.
The amazed parent will discov-
er a bewildering variety of
courses in hOW things ought to
be done, but he will look long
among these offerings for much
interest in aOhat is to be taught.
The situation is open and motor
ious, and accounts for the hope
lessness which many professors
of the liberal arts feel with re-
spect to the whole profession
alization' Of education.
There can be little hope of
amendment until the American
people see through the super
fetal professionalism of most
of our teacher training, and de-

Howard Mumford Jones, for
merly in the faculty here, has in
the June number Of ScrIbner s
Magazine an article entitled
Betrayal in American Educa-
tion." He says that because
we have no real philosophy of
education, but only an intricate
machine managed by education
al experts the vast expendi-
lures of the American people
for schools and colleges do not
produce effective intellectual re-
suits"
Interest in the immediate, the
practical, rather than in general
ideas, is the basic fault in
American education, Mr.. Jones
says. In the universities and
colleges eve find that the lib
eral arts are becoming mere
feeders to vocational andf scien-
tific courses, that the education
alists are already assaulting the
professor in the humanities be-
cause he has not been 'profes-
sionally trained in a school of
education, and that courses in
commercial English, the psy-
chology of Advertising and
similar specific nostrums have
become too commonplace to at
tract more than sardonic atten-
ton from those who fear that
the vocationalists and the peda-
gog will conquer
The laboratory scientists, as
well as the educationalists, are
put on the griddle and we'll
roasted by Mr.. Jones. The lab
oratory is exalted at the ex-
pense of the lecture, and "sci-
ence pushes the student farther
and farther in the direction of
specific thinking. The results
are revealed in the open scorn
of engineering students and
their kind for humane letters
and philosophy-in short, for
general values Trained from
the public school in the ideology
of the specific, the college stu
dent interested in science views
the requirements in non-scien-
tific subjects as hurdles to be
jumped instead of as organic
parts of the education of sci
entific mind; he is characteristic
cally impatient with literature,
with ethics. with philosophy be-
cause these are not science

Seed Loans Modified
Continued from page u

&-0N
said Mr.. Peterson. Sheridan COMMIT
a n of the best records of any
HI HIT state fur repayfng ITS loans
previous to the past two years.
The number of borrowers taking
advantage of the big loan of last
year was 1856 with a farm popuI
alton of 1492. The average loan 70
each borrower was 1898 comparf4i
to a state average of 1921 and an
average in the United States Of
$126~
Valley county received the great
EST total of any county in the state
through the government loans having
received S1,531,79S altogether: Hill
county, with Havre as the county
seat, was next with S1.2o4.3T4.
Others of our n~eighboring counties

land, S625,432; Daniels. $40 I'D.
Dawson, $362,2S6; and McCone.
$500, 1T.
Nothing shows the dire need for
loans that have been given any more
than the drop in freight car loadings
during the past five years. From
Opheim in 1923 there were 6g7 ear
ioadings. from this same point in
1881 were loaded 8 cars and ) cars
In 1882. From n total OF $50 ears
loaded at Glentana In 1920. fbe
number decreased to / last year.
AT Scobey, at one time the primary
wheat market of the world car
ioadings dropped from So in 1928
TO So in 1882.
The c%arloading record. together
with the average price paid Tor
wheat during those years, tells d
most dramatic and sorrowful story
The average price paid in 1880 was
a9c, in 1881, SOC, while ia 1892 if
dropped off to 33c and the average
paid thus far this year at the same
point has been "a cents.
