CAROLINA MEN HEAR GOVERNMENT AGENT Dr. Coulter Addresses Students on Rural Problems. On last Monday morning at the chapel, Dr. John Lee Coulter deliv ered an interesting address on "'he Rural Life Problems in the South." Dr. Coulter is the special agent of agriculture, the bureau of census, and the department of commerce and labor, and is hence well quali fied to analyze such a large question. Dr. Coulter pointed out that social and educational problems and prob lems concerned with the church were of necessity interwoven into the fabric of rural life problems, but were unimportant since they did not involve "life and death." The main problems confronting the South, as he saw them, were of an economic nature. First, there was the tenant sys tem of land tenure, resulting in a floating population, and second, the presence of the negro. Proprietorship would settle in a large degree the shift of population. Next to this, he says, would come leases covering a long period of time. Many helpful suggestions were thrown out regarding the problem of race differences. Practical Y. M. C. A. Talka. (Guerr'ant.)
