University of North Carolina, The uni
versity stands on the doctrine of Wen
dell Phillips that "agitation is educa
tion. Agitation is marshalling the
conscience of a nation to mold its
laws."
With a record of - emphasis upon
debate from its founding iu 1795,
the university has gone about It to
systematize and universalize discus-
, sion of every conceivable question of
vital local Interest, not only by the
youth of the state in the high schools,
but by adult organizations of farmer.-.
of women, or of any other available
group.
For some yeurs gruduate.s of the
university have established debating
clubs in the schools where they have
to teach, members of ihj faculty have
answered communications, and ma
terials have been sent to all parts of
the state from the university library
and the state library commission. Re
cently a high school debating union
was organized, including more thau
iiiih hundred schools, to conduct state
wide debating contests.
As a part of its extensive plans in
this direction, the extension bureau of j
the university lias Just Isniiecl a man

Carolina. A considerable number of
the questions are analysed, arguments
pro and con being given. References
are given to easily available material,
much of which may bo obtained by ap
plication to the university, to the li
brary commission, or to public offices.
In addition to this, instructions' are
given as to how to organize for such
discussions and how to conduct them.
While some of the questions sug
gested for discusion are of national
significance, the chief value of the
work of the university lies in the way
it focuses attention upon real prob
lems of immediate local concern. For
example, it Is "Resolved,
"That county should
provide a medical inspectc r of schools;
"That all county olllcers in
county should be nominated through
a legalized direct primary;
"That the stocktnau is a worse en
emy to the forest of North Carolina
than the lumberman;
"That the town of should
establish a tax-supported library;
"That it is expedient for
county to increase the salaries of its
public school teachers at least 25 per
cmt;
"That the farmers of
should form a cooperative murketing
association."
These are only Illustrative tif a
wide range of subjects.
The manual points out that "public
ilieus?lon Iu North Carolina during
the past decade-has undergone a most
desirable change. Emphasis hitherto
placed largely on things political and
national, is being plaeed on questions
affecting the everyday life of North
Carolina. To make this change even
more far-reaching, every North Caro
lina community should resolve itself
into a community club and devote it
self seriously to the quiet, persistent
study of its economic, social, educa
tional, and religious problems.
"The plan of organization and the
method of procedure in such clubs
should be simpler than that of the
school societies. Their object should
bo open, frank, earnest discussion.
The building up of a strong, construc
tive, community spirit, and commun
ity interest should be a second object
Out of such discussions, character
ised by such a spirit, will inevitably
come the solution of problems upon
which the welfare of the community
absolutely depends.
"If a place of meeting Is the only
obstacle in the way of the formation
of such a club, the local school house
can well be used for this purpose. It
ought to be widely used and made the
real social center of the community."
