Ofttlmos si it ntllltnll-mlndid hluilents make llir statement that
they do not wish to delve Into the humanities because these courses
are Ill-taught IH-oigani7ed and are of no line whatsoever to the
scientist And ofttlmos sad to lelnto thse students are conect In
the Ir reasoning at least in legnrd to the loathing and nignnls'ntlnn ol
Ihise subjects
Hut on the othei hind knowledge of phllosnph nit lileialure
and Hie sotlnl sciences ase the fortes which bind a poison's education
tompactly nnd make It tomplctc Until a person his an understanding
of the humanities he Is ot little use to his sooictv nnd his own mind
if usunllv confused c.Milutl nnd disillusioned
Man was not made to be a creature dominated by natural laws
Ho was made to rise above those laws and to understand that the
world In which he llcs may lie as Infinite as thought Itself and as
rith as his Imagination could create it
Man la different from the lower animals in that he ha ethical
religious and aesthetic needs as well as economic. Until a person
realises this fact he can progress no further than his limited senses
allow him He can derive only materialistic pleasures from life and
even those soon fade away ami are lowered to a plane hardly above
that of his primitive ancestors
Our duty as students is to realize that tochnlt al knowledge cannot
lie complete until we consider the spiritualistic and humanistic side
of our tharacter Wo should realize that in order to understand and
help solve the complex nnd thaotic situation in which civilization
finds itself we must hae knowledge but tempered with understand-
ing and sensible reasoning.
' The duty of the teacher is to undci stand what the student needs
and to teach it properly. The teacher who deals with the humanities
should remember that his task is no less important than that of the
teacher who deals with technology Above all he should remember the
seven points outlined by Herbert Drcnnon dean of Mississippi State
college These points which Incorporate the alms of the humanities
arc: (1) knowledge of the mechanics of organizing and expressing
thought both oral and written (21 a nodding acquaintance with the
best of world literature and Its Influence upon our social order (3)
development or creation of a lasting Interest In general reading; (4)
some knowledge of what we arc and how we came to be that way the
evolution of social structure the significance of technology in the
progress of human affair; (f) training In the analysis of socio-
economic problems and in obtaining logical solutions of them; (6) de-
olopment of mornl ethical and stxial concepts essential to a satisfy-
ing philosophy to a career consistent with the public welfare and
sound professional attitude (7) development of the habit of putting
into practito the principles mentioned above a recognition of the
fact tint good citizenship is a result of action not knowledge
Funds Promised for
Completion of Dorm
That the Gold Star Memorial
dormitory now under construc-
tion would bo ready for occupan-
cy with the opening of the fall
w.mu.ati.r tMM.nmo n certainty ac
cording to n recent announcement I
made by Or Harold G Cooke
president of McMurry.
The doimttory Is being built as
n memorial to Methodist youths
of the New Mexico and Northwest
Texas confereme who lost their
live in World War II In the main
lounge will bo a cast bronze tab-
let bearing the names of more than
TOO such casualties
Work on the doiiuitory Is now
a tittle ahead of schedule accord-
ing to President Cooke Building
plans reveal the dormitory will
have a capacity of 180 men
In procuring the necessary
pledges and cash for the construc-
tion and furnishing of the dormi-
tory Dr. Cooke ha traveled over
8000 mile and made more than
200 talk to those Interested In
practically every charge of the
conference

However the ultimate goal of
raising $300000 ha been attained
through the adoption of the quota
goals by each church of the North-
west Texas Conference. It wa
pointed out by Di. Cooke that
well over half of the amuont need-
ed has been paid In cash. Pledges
to meet individual cash quotas
will adequately cover the balance
Instead of letting the contract
for the const! notion of the dormi-
tory on a cost-plus basis a is the
usual method today the Gold Star
Memorial dormitory is being built
off n cash basis Thus construction
has proceeded only when there
havo been funds on hand The
school administration content-
pi Ues no dev latlon from the origi-
nal plana of financing the presi-
dent stated.
Furnishing the lounge are Mr.
and Mrs Bob McCoy of Pampa
whose son John Tom was killed
in the war Dr Cooke said
A second major construction
