.

At Woodland Auditorium, at 4
and 7:45 p. m., March 11,
Toyohiko Kagawa, of Japan, most
famous Christian leader of the age,
will speak to students and citizens
of Lexington and surrounding
towns. Kagawa is brought to Lexington under the auspices of the Y.
M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the College
of the Bible and the Lexington Ministerial association.
Kagawa started the great Christian movement In Japan a few years
ago. Those who know of his work
proclaim him as the greatest Christian leader of the age. He goes directly to the starving masses of the
people and shows them how to lift
themselves out of the Intolerable
conditions in which they have been
living.
After being cut off from his family, he attempted to work his way
through school. He contracted tu
berculosis, won the battle with the
disease, but ever since has been
handicapped with 111 health. Such
trials as this developed the lndom
lnable courage which made him
move Into the slums of Kobe.
From a beggar with whom he
shared his room he caught tra
choma and almost lost the sight of
one eye. A ruffian who demanded
his money knocked out his teeth.
He was driven out by the people he
had returned to help. After five
years he saw the folly of his ef
forts.
During the ne:jt five years he r
ceived the chance to come to
America, where he completed his
education at Princeton.
His main
studies there were labor problems
and social work. He returned to
Japan and organized the Japanese
Federation of Labor and the Farm
ers National Federation, started the
first laborers school, the first lab
orers' newspaper, and pushed thru
the thing that had beaten the in
tellectuals for 30 years, the prob
lem of universal suffrage. To Ka
gawa, however, this was only a be'
ginning. He remade the credit'
union movement,, added marketing
and purchasing services, and helped
to found nearly 100 schools teach'
Ing the cooperative technique.
The government
which once
hounded him called on him to or
ganize social work in Tokyo. In

STUDENT RIGHTS MAINTAIN
PERSONALITY IN TEACHING
Colleges .Hid iinivcisities of loel.iy ;uc coming
more ;itnl more to realize tlic value to the institution f nu n on the start who possess sti iking
or captivating jki sonalities. In a recent report,
Dr. Waller Albert Jessup, president of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, stresses the value of teachers who arc "artists" rather than scholars.
Doctor Jessup bungs out the fad that the survival of any college over a pe riod of years is due
largely to the men who have lived in it. These
men arc difficult to classify; sometimes they arc
"willing confoinicis who fit easily into college
patterns," conventional students; "more often
they arc individualists themselves who find it
difficult to conform to set procedures."
In their attempts to arrive at recognition in
the field ot academic rating, many colleges and
universities have placed altogether too much emphasis upon the external attributes of scholarship. The fact that a professor possesses one or
more doctor's degrees or was the author of numerous "publications" has tended to blind the authorities charged with the selection of the teaching staff to the fact that personality is often a
more effective element in the raising and maintenance of an institution's prestige.
The depression, with increased enrollments,
has especially taught institutions of learning the

the various schools have vied to maintain their

quotas of enrollment, they have found that

students are much more impressed
the number of men on the staff who have gained
recognition through their participation in everyday affairs or the fact that they are "regular
fellows" than they are by the number of Ph. D.'s
and LL. D.'s that grace the roster of the faculty.
The same is true of those who graduate from an

member much more distinctly those men who
talked with them and ofTcred solutions for their
own personal problems and the general prol-lem- s
of life than they do those who tried strictly
to impress them with their scholarship and
knowledge in the field of "book larnin'."
Although it might appear that the controversy
at hand is one of scholarship versus personality,
we do not believe such to be the case. We believe, rather that real scholarship is closely
aligned with personality. The true scholar will
attempt to coordinate and adjust his knowledge
with current events and individual situations
which present themselves. He must teach according to humanity as well as science.
Those professors who maintain their positions
by scholarship alone arc sadly lacking in one of
the essentials of a truly great teacher, but they
may, through effort in the right direction, acquire those graces and understanding of humanity, which make for the outstanding professor.
I5y contact with and interest in the activities of
the students they may come to have a firmer understanding of their problems as related to life
itself as well as the academic woild. Also, by
extensive reading and conversation they may
"keep abreast of the times" and thus place themselves in the category of something more than a
scholar.

ENCOURAGING THE PRESS

reveal information thry had received in confidence would have iijciied journalists all over
the couniiy to wiile scaihing denouncements of
a system that would allow anvlhing of this sort
to happen. Simil.ulv. Vance Ai meiitioiii, an editor of the Com iei Jciiiin.it. Would have been

In Louisiana, the Hl.'l Long eonliolleel
passed a bill taxing newspapets with a
tire illation of 20.000 or over two per cent of
their gloss receipts. 'I here were thiilee n sue li

Last week the Supreme Court, in a decision
read by Associate Justice George Sutherland, declared that a lax on ncwspacrs tended to reduce the power of the press, that such a tax was
a "fetter" to a free press. It is gratifying to know
that our highest court realizes the importance
of a press both unfettered and unimcelcd in its
march toward truth and impartiality in the reporting of events to the general public.
Poth cases indicate clearly that the days of
journalistic oppression are over and that any
return to them is being made virtually impo
