WORLI) FRORLEM STUDIES.
The great. "World Prob.em"
courses offered under the ausi i -
ces of the Y. M. C. A. are Iot
studies of ancient historv or Old
'T'estament happenings, h1; are
studies about subjects of viM
and world-wide interest to b:t.
The enrollment at the pre,-( t
approach 's the a lrd ma, .
There is still room for mny
more. e w\1 Al Stlude11 bm v

these c sses. E man on
the cam .us who can p)ossib)ly
fi nd the time .should( not deny
hiimself' the op)portunlity' ollered
by them.
Tfhese classes are taught by
men whom we all know are well
ijp on their subjects, and who, will
give us a. coinprehensive view of
it in a sLort time, not excNe(tiing
eight winks. Next yecar elective

ions and enable us to catch a
glimpse of the great movements
taking place in other countries
today.
CUT THE KNOCKING.
That we have one of the. best
college baseball teams in the
South is a fact accepted by all.
This, coupled with the best
coach in the South, seems to as
sure an unusually succesful sea
son for us. Prospects look bright
everyone must admit. Notwith
standing these facts, there are
some pessimist who do nothing
but pickout faults and weak
nesses in the team that never ex
ists except in his own imagina
tion. Those who come under
this class are termed "knock
ers." Nothing so strongly
throws a damper upon the spirit
of the students in regard to the
team as that a number of these
knockers begin to work among
us.
Knocking a team at Carolina
should be an unpardonable sin.
Yet there are such degenerates
among us as at every other in
stitution. Who has not heard
such expressions, "if we only
had a second baseman, " "Why
dosen't the coach do this," "So
and so is not getting a square
deal," and like expressions slip
unaware, but we should not let
this happen. Every man at Caro
lina should pull with the coach,
and with every man on the field,
for the success of the team.
Knocking can do no good, and it
loes much harm.
When a team is winning there
is comparatively lit:le knocking
done, but when the slump comes
you bear the hammers from
every quarter. Let us guard
against this evil and get behind
our team and stay there thruegh
cloudy weather as well as sun
shine. If we do this, not many
teams will be able to lick us.
Lets go out on the field Monday
and show that Lafayette bunch
what we as a student body have
got.
Till; ('AROI INIAN.
'I he Caro inian, the monthly
it' ga'inre of the Uni%cl"ersity,
:ti lorls an oppo 't un it.y for the
palibcation of literary work on
ie canrpus. It should be a
great incentive for this kind of
work.
The bulk of the work that al:
;)ears in tis magazine taals upioni
the shouldersof the members of
I ih' staff. Who is this true?
nl!IIy because rnmst of the stu
d '.is on t he campus have n< t
r'it ti to write. '1 hey hays no in
ca.nationi to w: ite b) cause th y
have never made a beginning.
A:s has been well said by a for
mler editor of the Carolinian,
'Scnb Sp' rit'' is .just rs nee
magazine as in putting out a
strong football team. The writ
er of the scrub work will, by
practice, become able to put out,
varsity material for publication.'
Writing does not require so
much talent as it does hard, con
sistent work. Quoting from
an unfamiliar author; "genies is
one-tenth inspiration and nine
tenths perspiration." This is es
pecially true of the art of writing.
Of course, many of us lack crea
tive ability, but there are many
more who have this quality and
have not given it an opportuity'
of asserting itself.
Practice is the only way to
learn how to write. There are
many who if they would only try,
make a beginning, could do
something worth while in the
world of letters.
The abiliity to write with clear
ness is not a gift of God, but the
result of study and practice.
No one knows what he can do
until he has made an attempt at
least once. Another thing,
working along a certain line cre
ates interest in the work espee
ially, if a degreeof success is ex
perienced.
The Carolinian is a medium
through which a budding genius
can give to others the product of
his imagination. It is also an in
strument for making many, who
have not awakened to their own
possibilities, interested in literary
work. There is no gremter in
centive to writing than For one
t.) see the products of his pen in
urint.
