McDowell Manager Basketball Team

Carlyle McDowell Elected Position to Succeed Bill

Stradley

to

Carlyle McDowell, of Cherryville, a sen~or at Wake Forest College, was recently elected manager of the var­sity basketball team to succeed Bill Stradley, who resigned to become coach of basketball and track at Wake Forest High School, it w~s announced !Jy athletic officials.

Stradley has been a member of the Demon Deacon football squad for two years, ·and has taken a keen interest in all forms of athletics. Although Stradley has assumed charge of the high school team, he hopes to finish his college work here.

Indications point to a good high school quintet,. and Coach ·Stradley says he hopes to go high in the race for State honors.

The Wake Forest Band, though having done some admirable work during . the football season, is just now starting on the year's program. Several trips have been planned for the immediate future, and the· band expects to have many engagements in the spring. ·

The band is expected to broadcast from the radio station in Raleigh soine time during the first part of January, this being a distinctive ·hon­or for a band that will have had only about four. months training.

The band has received invitations from Meredith and Louisburg' col­leges to be the guests of each and to give a concert afterwards.

Professor Isbell, the _ director, is introducing quite a number of spe­cial features. Besides special parts of music being taken by different groups of the band, he is organizing an orch!lstra composed of band mem­bers. This orchestra combination will introduce special effects into tlre popular music of the band repertoire, but will not play except in combina­tion with the band.

-Included in the music which has been ordered are several overtures arranged for a band combination, ·a number of the latest popular songs, and a group of military marches. With the experience that the band­men have had, and with the able di­rection of Professor Isbell, the futut-e of the band seems nothing less th~ bright. ,

The band members wish to express their appreciation for the kindness of all parties concerned and striving to make the Wake Forest College Band the best band in the State:

Soviet Russia, the incorrigible outcast, the wall-flower of the in­fc~·national jazz party, has been the first nation to propose total disarm­ament. But the altruistic, pcace-lm'­ing nations who were willing to ac­cept in good faith Russia's subscrip­tion to the rules and regulations of the League of Nations now become dubious and effect a circumlocutory answer. Russia may be playing a game and camouflaging a definite plan of her own; but be that as it !nay, h.er startling and idealistic proposal has had a way of pretty accurately plum bing the depth of other nations' a ttitudc toward dis­armament.

THE great Persian ruler gazed from a hill­top upon his. vast army of a million men.

It was the largest army that had ever existed. And he turned away with tears in his eyes because in a hundred years all trace of it would be gone. That army was a symbol of power, destructive and transient. Today in one machine, now being built in the General Electric shops, there is combined the muscular energy of two million men. This great machine~ a steam turbine, is also a symbol of power-a new power that is con_.. structive and permanent. Its unprecedented size, a record in construc­tion of such machines, is a pledge to the people that the electrical industry is on the march, ever on the alert to supply plenty of electricity at a low cost to all.

further preparing the student for en­trance into the middle schools. If the student fails again, there is another year in this school that takes up more of the business en'd of education, though part of the time is turned over to preparation for entrance. If the student then fails, there is little hope that he will ever pass the entrance examinations. Thus the student body of the middle schools to some degree is sifted a~d the survival of the fittest becomes the rule of the educational system.

The number of Japanese students turned back from the high schools pre­sents a pathetic picture. Also the per­sistency of the students if they fail one time to come back and try again shows something of the hunger of the .Japanese for education. Thus the high school student goes through a period of apprentioceship in either a government or a private or denomina­tional high school. At. the end of five years he is graduated from this insti­tution. Though he has received a diploma from a standard high school, he cannot enter a college or univer-

Speaking of golf reminds us of a story we heard about a certain doctor who resides in Raleigh. This doctor, after playing ten unsuccessful holes, came to number eleven with a firm resolve to better his score. After driving six golf balls into the lake the doctor became slightly disgusted and threw his clubs, caddy, and him­self into the lake, resolved never to play golf again. Moral: Don't take up golf unless you can control your temper.

Upon entrance in a college the stu­dents for the first time have freedom in their curricula and may elect some of .their courses. The students then have also the privilege of participat· ing in various activities other than

· athletic games which are carried from the first grade up. The traditional treatment of freshmen in the Ameri­can colleges is scarcely known save through the columns of the press and· ,books. Though all the under-classmen

' look up to and respect the upper­classmen, ·.and always salute them, there is practically no hazing. The college diploma in Japan does not have the same significance that the college diploma has in the United States. A B.A. from a college here has the same significance as a B.A. from a university. But in .Japan the diploma from a college means little more than a high school diploma. The end of the fourth year at college the horizon begins to be illuminated with the hope of a university degree.

The university does not have 'the charm .that characterized it in the dreams of the high school student, in spite of the fact that the little yellow­faced fellow enters upon his work with all the zest that he has. There is little or no indolence in the univer­sity boy's career, except in the case of the athletic stars, who are there only to play ball and nothing else, as is so very true of our own colleges and universities in this fair land of ours. The ·curricula of the university offers various vocational courses, and also many professional courses. When the student finishes the four years that the university offers, he has at last procured a respectable education. If the student is then ambitious and wants to stand well among his people, he must go abroad to Europe or Amer· ica and ·take a few years work there.

The characteristics of the Japanese students are perseverance, intellec­tually hungry, and self-sacrificing. The Japanese people, as a rule, sacri­:fice above all else to obtain a liberal education. · The .Japanese people are brilliant, some have said, and I agree to some extent, but my experience with them has shown me that they are no more brilliant than many of the Amer-

The meteoric rise of the Japanese nation from feudalism to that of one of the five world powers in industry, militarism, education, and culture is due to the wisdom of the Japanese government in adopting this compul­sory school attendance law.

We tabulated the scores made by one thousand of our standard high schools last spring in terms of the institutions chosen. It is not my purpose to detail our find­ings, but this is true: there was a median variation for these groups which showed that the character of the institution chose its clientele. The institutions of greatest prestige in the public mind drew the best equipped students. If our teacher­training institutions could be put on a par with other colleges in our sys­tem the advantage would be greatly in our favor.
