‘LET US FIRST KEEP FAITH WITH IDEALS-CLARK
Visiting Geography Professor Speaks On Democracy and Sciences
“First, let us keep faith with American and Christian ideals and then have peace,” said Dr. Burton Clark of the University of South Carolina in an address given Thursday afternoon on “The New Geography, the New Democracy and the New Renaissance.”
Dr. Clark stated that he would I not have the United States join j the League of Nations or any other world body that has for its j purpose the aggrandizement of Europe. To join a world order we must not relinquish our national ideals or our religious. We I must consider them first and then I

Students and friends of the University are cordially invited to be present at the lecture.
Clark's sub-topic the study of the the new democra Clark the no
study of man’s future potentialities, and combining that idea with that of the new histoiy it will make for the new democracy and the new awakening. In the teaching of the uew socia. sciences, Quality insiiuciion should paramount and one should disregard the quantity. What the educational vc^rld needs is not more teaching of the social sciences, but better teaching of those subjects now in the curriculum. The teachers of history and
geography should have the same status and their work should be related.
“What the world needs is ethical competition.” remarked the visiting professor. “In order to bring this abou: our training must be so that we can analyze the’problems of geography and history.”
TRIP TO LA BREA PIT UNDER PROF. SEDGWICK FRIDAY
Expedition To Famous Asphalt Animal Trap Open To Students
Affording summer session students an opportunity to follow in the tracks of Crowi'. Prince Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden by vfsiting the famous La Brea asphalt pits west of Los Ange-ies, Professor Sedgwick, head of the Department of Geology, will conduct a special trip to the prehistoric animal trap next Friday afternoon. The party will meet in front of the Administration Building at one o’clock. This is one of the special events of the session, giving the students a chance to observe at first hand the surface of asphaltic material, broken by large bubbles where oily substances are
CALENDAR
CATALINA TRIP ENJOYED BY 85 U.S.C. STUDENTS
By MATTHEW BARR
\\ ith week - end romances brought to an abrupt close by the hoarse whistling a the Steamship Catalina, eighty-five summer session students returned to the campus yesterday with their minds full of thoughts which did not jibe with thpse of the Southern California faculty.
From the moment when the first cheers issued from the crowd on the wharf at Avalon until the orchestra played the last bars of “Farewell To Thee,” thoughts of lectures and collateral reading were banished by the crowd of excursionists who answered the invitation of Kenneth Stonier to take part in the annual trip to Catalina.
As soon as the summer school band set foot on Crescent Avenue, the main street of Los Angeles’ island suburb, they lost their identity as college people. The Trojans caught their breath when they saw the beauties of the submarine gardens; they lost it entirely at Seal Rocks; and they nearly died of self-strangulation on the speed boats.
SWIMMING AND BOATING
Those who were romantically inclined sighed ecstatically as they sat in semi-darkness and listened to the Catalina Band, and their more frivolous schoolmates sang with delight as the same band furnished the jazz for the evening dance at the Pavilion. Some of the braver members of the j party kept the life-guards on the alert as they swam far beyond the end of the pier. For those who dared not trust their ability as swimmers, canoes and rowboats furnished a chance to explore the bay, and to seek out some of the secluded coves which still oozing up and where ancient ani- jay beyond the quaint Catherine mals went down to death and their jjGtel. Pebbly Beach was popular, debones to preservation for the yet un-j Sp^e the fact that it was too dark for
REPORT TROJAN KILLED IN CAR
Although no student of that name was reported to have registered at any time, according to the registrar’s office, dispatches from Klamath Falls, Oregon, report that Walter Green, University of Southern California student, was killed when the automobile in which he was riding left the road. The oar was driven by Garrett M. Walker, also said to be a student here, but o f whom there is no record
The accident occurred eieven miles north of iviamath Falls, when Green was sleeping in the rear seat, the car tuining o\*er and killing him.
The University of California, Southern Branch, reports no student of that name registered there.

Nowhere else in the world has there been found such a wealth of material out of which to build a picture of the pedestrians in the very dim past, and the discoveries indicate that a mere flivver would have had a rough time navigating Wilshire Boulevard back in the prehistoric days.
Mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, direwolves and ground-sloths were a few of the beasts that had Hollywood-iand and Ix>s Angeles in general all to themselves for centuries. So far, no records of early subdivisions have been unearthed, but the excavators at I^a Brea expect to pick up a notice most any day which will tell of a new' residence park opened in the Stone Age era with all the modern improvements of spacious caves and plenty of grass.
Last year’s excursion was a decided success, and a large group is expected to take advantage of Friday’s opportunity.
the ,nidnight strollers to see its beauties.
DID NOT PLAY GOLF
Evidently the newly installed S. C. golf course has not had time to change ihe habits of summer school students, because none of the excursionists tried their luck on Avalon’s wonderful nine-hole links.
The fun which began on the island continued on the return trip, as the dance lovers tried to fox trot on the steamship dance floor, which flung them from side to side with every roll of the waves. Most of the excursionists were heard to say that they would enroll at S. C. next summer so that ihey might repeat the trip to Catalina.
Visual education will be the subject of a demonstration of films from the famous Spencer Library at 3 o’clock this afternoon in Hoose Hall, Room 206, to which all Summer Session students are invited.
According to those who have already seen the films, everyone interested in the newer developments of education will find much of interest in the presentation of these films, as several of the little-known features of visual education will be made clear Both the motion, including the slow motion and suspended animation pictures, and the still films will be shown, selecting from a wide variety of fields such as art, history, science geography, and literature, with em phasis laid on physical education.
TELLS ADVANTAGES
According to Professor William E. LaPorte, editor of the series on Physical Education, there are a number of advantages which the still film type of visual education holds over the older form of stereoptican slide, other

So speaks a character in the old miracle play “The Deluge,” which the students of Gilmor Brown’s class in play production present this morning at the 10:30 assembly. Tickets can be obtained at the Students’ Store for twenty cents.
A wagon, in which the plays, scenery and costumes are moved from place to place, is drawn onto the stage in some such fashion as they were drawn along the streets in the English towns in the fifteenth century. The wagon serves as the stage for the presentation of the play, but the actors are not limited to it, for they move among the townspeople that gather to see the pageant
“The Deluge,” as a play within a play, has nine chief characters, God, Noah and his wife, and their three sons and their wives.
CARDBOARD ANIMALS
The costuming is crude, in keeping with the play itself. The factors needed to make the whole of it real are absent, as they were when the play was done in its early form. When the animals are mentioned a parchment with a pictured representation is displayed and then carried into the ark.
The play illustrated how religious scenes and characters were mingled with the real life of the English craftsmen and townspeople who acted them and for whom they were written.

is that the editor is able to select a series of still pictures from a consecutive series of motion pictures, thus making it possible to view the same performance at different instants from the same point of view.
Another is that of being able to select the still picture from a series taking in all positions, instead of having to accept that arbitrarily presented by a single exposure. He also stated that the motion pictures are so arranged that a performance such as the pole vault, for example, may be stopped at any point for examination of form, and the process reversed
