All ( j ^^^^/###################^######## Finley Views Needed Head Favors * Business Man Distinguished Alumnus Approves Combination Of Executive And Scholar "I would like to see a business man as the next president of the University," David Edward Finley, former assistant secretary of the treasury and recently appointed a special assistant to the American Embassy at London, with honorary ranks of counselor, said in an interview recently. Mr. Finley graduated from the University in 1910, in which year he was editor of The Gamecock. . "It is, of course, very hard," Mr. Finley continued, "to find a man who would combine those qualities of executive and administrative abilities so necessary in one who is to conduct the affairs of a large University with the scholarly attributes which are also very essential. "A modern institution of . higher learning can be regarded in the light of a huge business concern, and unless some man who is capable of meeting business crisis and conducting the ' administration of the ordinary affairs of the institution in an astute, business-like fashion is found, it is bound to suffer. "Of course, in order to maintain the higher standards that the University has aways maintained, the head should be a man of considerable scholastic attainments. He must have a forceful personality and be capable* of handling men. Woodrow Wilson was such a man. I agree with Bernard Baruch that Senator Christie Benet is the ideal type of man for the post. His fine character and forceful personality make him extraordinarily desirable." Mr. Finley, commenting on the trying times and the fact that the University is suffering from the universal depression, said that he had no doubt but that she would pull through the crisis as she has always done in the past. "The civil war, as great a casstrophe as it was, served only as a temporary setback and this present situation will be the same. "I would certainly dislike to see the University lowered in standard because of decreased appropriations." He pointed out that we must take into consideration the terrible situation that confronts the legislature, but that he believed that, teachers being very poorly paid at best, retrenchment along educational lines should be only a last resort: '"The University has played a very definite part in the shaping of my career and I feel as though I was very fortunate in the choice of my Alma Mater. I have lived in the North most of my life and the outlook that my experiences at Carolina gave me and the influence that the wonderful men who compose the faculty exerted upon me has had a tremendous influence upon my life."

WWW Alb _______ Vocational Talk Given By Crow Education Dean Stresses Amount Of Preparation Necessary For Best Teachers "There is not a single public school official in South Carolina who has had an amount of training equal to that of the average graduate of a medical college in preparation for the profession of medicine or survey," said Dean Orin F. Crow of the School of Education during chapel hour Wednesday morning. "Efficient leadership has always been the crying need of public education." "It is difficult for one to become a lawyer unless he has graduated from a law school. One may not be an engineer unless he knows something about engineering, but anyone thinks he can teach school or manage a school. And the public seems to believe likewise. Depressing as the general education situation in our state may seem, now is the opportune time for competent persons to enter the fields of teaching and public school administration. South Carolina must fall in line with other progressive states. A change for the better is inevitable. But only the competent and courageous may hope to succeed." Dean Crow pointed out that careful students of the educational situation see the need for more men in the teaching profession. He said that Doctor Judd of the University of Chicago once characterized teachers as a "mob of mobile women awaiting matrimony." "Teaching was once a man's job. Before teaching returns to the level of respectability it once held, the ratio of men to women in it must be greater than 1 to 5, approximately the present proportion." Dr. A. R. Brubacker, Dr. Crow said, in his book "Teaching: Profession and Practice," gives a tentative list of teaching qualities as follows: 1, sympathy with and understanding of children; 2, resourcefulness; 3, directive ability; 4, self-control; 5, tact; 6, purpose; 7, organizing ability; 8, speed of reaction; 9, esthetic sense; 10, humor; and, 11, pervasive attention. "The qualifications of success in teaching may be summed up as common sense, sound scholarship, good judgment, persistent patience in dealing with young minds." "T1IK YELLOW B1IKKT" IH COMING!

To the college correspondent Governor Ritchie added: "But the situation cannot be too bad, for I have been in Ann Arbor for an hour and a half and have not found a drunk yet. **THK TBIjI.Ovr 8IIBRT" IS COMINOI Breckinridge Is Friend Of Dean Col.
