Carter has been elected President of Kinston College, a private Baptist institution in this city, and will enter upon his new duties this fall. According to records, the Rev.

He has been tried and acquitted for murder; arrested under different aliases, and tried a dozen times in four states for a variety of other crimes, receiving several sentences; and at one time or another has pastored seven churches in six states; once vioated [[violated]] parole; is known to police of two countries, and has left a trail of broken hearts in several states.

[/advertisement]] What Others Think (Continued from page 3) the Negro problem in the United States, or the Filipino problem, or the Indian problem—I have wondered if the difficulty did not arise solely in their own hearts. So many troubles can arise out of chauvinism combined with intolerance. We are all likely to idealize our own peculiar national qualities and mode of life, and to maintain a blind devotion to them. Too, we we are prone to regard any other standards as wrong and intolerable, rather than merely different. It is my conviction that any person who harbors in his heart a spirit of racial snobbery, prejudice, and antagonism is denying himself a whole unexplored world. The whole question, or rather the answer to the problem may be summed up in the following statement: We need to learn to regard people as people, rather than considering them as black, white, brown, yellow, or red. Then, when we know them as people, it is very easy to like them as individuals. The familiar never seems strange to us. When we know other peoples, and love and understand them, they do not seem like foreigners to us. They are just brothers and sisters. Every nation and every race has a place, has its own purpose, and has some advantage that differentiates it from all other nations or race, just as truly as in the case of flowers mentioned in the beginning of this article. the blossoms do not show haughty discrimination—why should we? Are we less than they? If I have any hobby at all, it is the promulgation of the doctrine of racial tolerance and brotherly love. My plea to all people everywhere would be to rid their hearts of chauvinistic principles, and blind intolerance, and barrers of hatred; and to fill them with gentle understanding, and good will toward man. Only then could people say, "I love life-", and truly mean it. [[line]] F. E. PARKS TO HEAD "Y" MEMBERSHIP DRIVE F. E.
