Speaks in Chapel Sunday
Night
GIVES NEEDS OF STATE
This Address Is a Continuation
of the Series on S. C.
Problems
"South Carolina educat-on needs to
stress three things: A sense of respon
sibility, a plan of life, and lofty en
thusiasm," declared Dr. Patterson
Wardlaw in discussing "Educational ]
Objectives" as one of the series of talks
on Christian Citizenship, being spon
sored by the University's Y.M.C.A. at
the University chapel last Sunday night.
"These three things are more impor
tant than a plea for new schools, more
scientific teaching and better salaries,
as important to educational develop
ment as all of these things are and as
badly needed as they are at this time."
Dr. Wardlaw said that the theory of
unrestrained liberty that has such a i
vogue now gives us our era of irre- I
sponsibility and leads to extravagence, I
lawlessness and other excesses. Man
is always subject to the consequences
of his actions. No better thing could
be done for South Carolina politics
than to inculcate the idea in the peo
ple that they were responsible to their
God for the way in which they cast
their vote. This would apply to the
legislature also.
Dr. Wardlaw warned the audience to t
plan for their own lives, declaring that t
the difference between an unplanned
and a planned life is the difference be
tween a mob and an army. He quoted I
Woodrow Wilson as saying that the
greatest thing wich a minister could
do was to put meaning into life for the
average man.
"Any balanced plan of life must also
include a balanced theory of progress,"
the speaker continued, "we can neither
throw away all of the past or close our
eyes to all that is new. There is al
ways a permanent abiding of the es
sentials but a constant chang'ng of the
superficial.
"Lofty enthusiasm for South Caro
lina, is a pressing urge. Only by means
of lofty enthusiasm can we hope to ac
complish something worthwhile. The
revolution in 1776 was the result of a
great enthusiasm for a great 5dea. A
lofty enthusiasm for spiritual things
will bring about a great revival soon."
In concluding, Dr. Wardlaw said that
if the student body could inculcate
these ideas w'thin their own lives that
not force on earth could confine them
to ordinary things. He reminded the
students that in the past, great ideas
had often come from then, and plead
that the students should be missionaries
for these ideas, constantly keeping
thenm before those with wh'lom they
camne in contact.
D)r. Wardlaw's lecture 's the secondl
of the series of lectures that the Y is
p)utting over this spring. These meet
ings have as their topics. South Caro
lina p)rob)lems and the part of Christian
citizens in solving them. The speaker
for the coming Sunday's service will be
D)r. Reed Smith.

"After applying the measuring stick

listinction of libraries in South Caro

conditions. "South Carolina has," she
said, "only 45 public libraries, serving
[Jly 22 per cent of the people. Mrs.
