Many Religious Courses In
Colleges Of This State

Wake Forest, Nov. "A survey of
16 North Carolina colleges shows that
a wide range Of courses in religion
ere being offered to students, Dr.
Mason Crum, Of Duke university,
president of the North Carolina
Teachers of Religion, stated in ad-
dressing that group here Friday
evening.
All Of the 16 colleges studied offer
courses in Biblical literature or re-
ligion, it was found.
"Our principal business" said Dr.
Crum, ''is to offer courses to that
great mass of students who are to
be lawyers, doctors, merchants, far
mers, and artisans. There is always
the temptation to think Of courses
in religion in terms Of professional
training. But the vast majority of
our students will be laymen. There
fore, it seems to be important that
we must differentiate in our think
ing between undergraduate instruc-
ton and professional theological
training"
At Duke university, for example,
DR.. Crum said, in the two under
graduate colleges there are at present
TAI students taking courses in re-

The membership drive for the
third season Of the Henderson Co
operative Concerts Association will
5egin Monday, with A. p. Barnes,
newly elected president, and Miss
Alice Hughes and Mrs. D. Morgan
Cooper, membership committee, at
,he helm.
All workers who took part in the
associations membership campaign
last year are invited to attend the
opening campaign dinner at the
Capitol Cafe at $50 o'clock Monday
evening, Mrs. Henry Vos, headquar-
tiers secretary, has announced, urg-
ing all who can possibly do so to
attend
Instructions for the membership
drive will be given at that time.
Renewal cards will be distributed
to the workers VINO procured those
Individual memberships last year
and plans will be gone over with
a view of making this years drive
the most successful since the in
ception of the association, two years
ago.
At least three concerts will be
presented in the association pro-
gram this year and only those per-
sons who secure their memberships
next week will be permitted to at
tend the concerts. Last year, three
varied program were presented,
Agnes Davis, soprano, the Ionian
Singers, and Ezra Rachlin, pianist.
The membership drive is expected
to be successful for two reasons,
more than thirty workers, many of
them new, are expected to cover the
city completely this year, Mrs. H.
t. Morris secretary, said, and she
is satisfied that large number Of
Henderson people will respond to
the campaign here next week be-
cause the concerts have been very
favorably received in the past, par
ticularly last year.
After the memberships have been
turned in, the local artists commit
tee will meet on Saturday night and
make its selections for the concerts
tn be presented this season. The
selection, Of course, will be gov
erned by the amount of money
available from membership dues,
she said, adding that every dollar
paid into the association for menu
berships is spent for artists, musical
attractions and the small expense
incident to the presentation OF the
concerts.
Since the association is a nom
profit making organization, operat-
ing purely on the efforts OF its
members to bring something Of ar
tistic and cultural value to the city,
it must insure its members and the
community against deficit at the

Cooper Hits Failure
To Aid Teachers

whom he AYERS that over-generous
pay and pension provisions have been
made.
1t is the Cooper view that some
thing quick and drastic should be
done about the matter Of sick leave
pay. He suggests that there is a con-
tingent and emergency fund from
which money for this purpose could
easily be made available. This would
carry out the legislative intent, he
contends, even if the School Com
MISSIONS contention is true that there
were no specific funds provided for
this particular purpose.
He really doesn't expect anything
of the kind to happen, though, as he
does not consider that the "Raleigh
gang is interested in the teachers
except insofar as their votes are con-
cerned.
These are the Cooper views as out
lined to your correspondents while
the dynamic Wilmingtonian was
here Gin the interests of the school
teachers" as he put it.
The situation, as outlined by Tom,
is this:

ligion, Approximately seven times the
number in the school of religion, the
professional graduate school.
1T seems to me-" DR.. Crum de-
clared, that we should concern our
selves not only with the problems
Of technical scholarship and exegcsis
but also with the more practical as
poets Of religion in everyday life. We
should too consider ways of vitaliz-
ing the teaching Of religion to these
future laymen. | am convinced that
one Of the great needs in America
today is for spiritual quality in
education, and | am sure that the
majority Of parents would concur in
this belief and welcome any effort
in this direction.
81 doubt not that the next decade
or so will witness a revival Of in
terest in spiritual things. It may come
on the college campus. A mechanist-
ic philosophy has broken down and
our contemporary world is struggling
to achieve a peace which only the
principles of true religion can give
l have confidence that the tide will
turn, and that men will yet come
back to the grand task of educating
the spirit"

Week-Long Series
Of AdmissiOn-Free
Musicals at Duke

Durham, Nov. 3.-HarOld Morris,
one of Americas leading contem-
porary pianist-composers, is to
spend next week at the WOman'S
college of Duke university, giving
ten public program during the
week. The series is to be admission
free, and all music lovers are cor
daily invited to attend.
Included in the series an all

two joint recitals with Julia Wiki
inson, violinist. Programs are to be

day, and Friday afternoon in East

A native Of Texas, Mr. Morris
studied at the University Of Texas

Musical Art of the Jullard school
and Rice Institute, and recently
Joined the music faculty Of COlum-
bia university. He has toured the
United States and Canada as con-

sections; "The State School Commits
sion is hereby authorized and en-
powered, in its discretion, to make
provision for sick leave with pay for
any teacher or principal not exceed
ing five days and to promulgate rules
and regulations providing for the
necessary substitutes on account OF
said sick leave. The pay for a sub
stitute shall not exceed three dollars
a day."
With this discretionary power
Cooper maintains stoutly, the COM
mission should have followed the
clear intent of the General Assem-
bly, and made the proper provisions
Instead it has done nothing Whatso-
ever toward that end, explaining
failure to act on the grounds that
there is no specific fund provided
for it,
Cooper quotes a letter from Lloyd
Griffin, executive secretary Of the
School Commission as follows: ''The
General Assembly failed to provide
any fund for payment of sick leave
Consequently, the School Commission
has been unable to set up sick leave
pay"
Tom really gets angry when he
talks about this sort of excuse:
They might just as well have said
that the legislature provided no
funds for any Institutional or salary
purpose" he exploded, ''because
everybody knows that the legislature
does not go into every detail of
school expenditure. 1t appropriates a
lump sum, and it is then a matter
for the School Commission to de-
eide how much shall be spent for
each purpose.
1T is clearly the fault of the
School Commission that the sick
teacher, already as poor as Jobs tur-
key hen, will have to pay for every
day that a substitute is necessary.
The commission could easily have
found some way to make the money
available, if it had wanted to-" he
continued
Even if it were true that there
isn't money enough in the school ap-
preparations there's still such a thing
as the contingent and emergency
fund, about half a million dollars. |
'AiiiiN' oliO eIlC COlIlilIlSSlOIl naSn [
even asked for the fifty to a hun
dred thousand dollars it would take
to provide sick leave, with pay, Tor
teachers"
He pointed out that the teachers
Will have to pay for their substitutes
out of their already meager salaries
unless there is immediate action
taken.
He warned that there is no use
expecting any sort of sympathetic
help unless there is applied sufficient
pressure to secure action through
fear Of reprisals at the polls.
Its never any trouble for judges
and other big wigs to get what they
want in Raleigh, but it's different
with the school teachers and other
group Of poor folks'," said Tom.
Discussing the whole school situa-
ton, Mayor Cooper dashed out at
failure of the last General Assem-
by to take any action on establish
ment of a retirement and pension
system for teachers.
''They took care of the judges, who
get paid enough during their active
days to lay up something for old age:
but they refused point blank to do
thing for the teachers who are so
poorly paid that they have trouble
getting by now, much less saving
anything for the time when they
won't be able to teach any longer"
