confines of this section one of the
first football titles in many years.
One of the interesting features Of
the banquet, the most striking from
the standpoint Of the players and the

COUNTY is PROGRESSING
NIGHTLY In EDUCATION

The world do move educationaliy
in Union county. In the past three
months new school buildings have
been erected and additions and i'm
proyements made to others total;ng
q cost of Sl35,000. This sum is d.
eided among eight schools and var.
iouS sections of the county and comes
rs result of policies of progress
outlined by Super .ntendent Ray Fun
derburk and the Board of Education.
At Marshville new addition has
just been completed to the school
building. Eight recitation rooms
built after specifications furnished BY
the State Department of Education
and an auditorium with seating ca
pacity of 600 were constructed. These
improvements cost $4,000 and were
made possible by bonds voted by the
citizens of the community.
At Waxhaw a modern story brick
building of l6 rooms was erected at
cost of $4,000. The building is
equipped with electric lights and
steam heat-as is the one at Marsh
lie. Rooms for laboratories which
will meet the strictest college re-
quirements in science work have been
provided. Space is also given for a
modern school library. Here again
the building was made possible by
the action of the citizens in voting
bonds.
At Wesley Chapel, which claims to
have been the first rural graded
school in the state, brick building
has just been completed at a cost
OF $4,000. Eight recitation rooms and
an auditorium with seating capacity
OF 500 are provided. This building
was erected through funds secured
through the State education loan
funds.
A. Prospect another eight-room
brick building has been completed at
cost of $4,000, meeting all the
specificat ons now required by the
State Department of Education. An
auditorium with a seating capacity
of 500 is provided. This building
was erected by borrowing from the
State aid fund.
The citizens of Benton Heights de-
cided that they needed a new build
ing that would give their children
the best advantages and voted bonds
for a $4,000 structure. At the spec
ial election only ten voters voted
against the proposal. A modern
brick building with eight recitation
rooms, a Library, an office for the
The Monroe journal., 1922-12-22

principal and an auditorium was con.
structed. The building is equipped
with electric lights, sewerage and all
modern convenlences.
At Mineral Springs a six-room
brick structure has been erected al
cost of $4,000. An auditorium
with seating capacity of 800 has
been provided to take care of com
munity gatherings. The State loan
fund made this building possible.
AT Mt. Pleasant in Buford town
ship 2-story wooden structure, with
six recitation rooms has been erected
at a cost of $4,000. Here again pro-
vision has been made for all school
activities and community interests in
providing an auditorium with seat
ing capacity of 800. This building
takes the place of the old school
which was burned two years ago.
At Faulks in Marshville township
a new wooden school of 5 rooms with
an auditorium seating 800 has been
built at a cost of S5,250.
All the progress, however, has not
been confined to providing better
school buildings and better facilities
generally. A junior high school has
been inaugurated at Union in Lanes
Greek township with a truck bring
ing the students to and from the
school.
The enrolment at the high school
at Chionville jumped from 40 to 80
when the Board of Education made
the ruling that any child residing in
Goose Creek township would be. al
lowed to attend the high school with
out payment of tuition. A three
teacher faculty is providing efficient
instruction.
Progress made during the recent
months leaves New Salem as the
only township in the county which
does not have a standard high school.
"A high school which would give
all advantages to the children of this
township could be provided if the
citizens in several Of the communities
would get together and consolidate
their districts" says County Super
intendent Funderburk. Developments
may be expected.
The greatest progress in the near
future will be made by the Indian
Trail school in Vance township. Plans
have already matured for the cree
tion of brick building to cost ap-
proximately $4,000 in the early
sprirg, This building will contain
10 rooms and an auditorium which
will seat 500 people.

FOUR TEACHERS FORCED
TO LEAVE STATECOLLEGE
Will Resign as Result of Discovery
That They Had Been Making
Wine in Their Rooms

Four instructors at the North Car.
olina State College will tender their
designations to the college immediate
ly as the result of indignation of stu
dents occasioned by the discovery that
the instructors had been making wine
in their rooms in. large quantities
for their own consumption. None of
the instructors live in Raleigh, but
all of them had rooms off the college
campus. C. w. Busbee of Louisiana
has already resigned and T. 3,
Parks and c. B. Buckner, both Of
North Carolina, and Mr.. Miller Of
South Carolina are expected to fol-
low suit.
Habits of the instructors involved
it is stated, caused individual stu.
dents to conduct an investigation
which resulted in placing evidence
that the four men manufactured in
toxicants habitually, before the col
lege authorities. The affair is not
regarded at the college as being of
serious consequences and some doubt
has been expressed as to whether the
actions of the instructors consti ute
violation of the prohibition laws.
However, the attitude of the college
authorities is that the young men
involved have rendered their contin-
ued presence at the college impcs-
sible. 1t is understood that if the
remain ng designations are not forth
coming that action will be taken.
No official action has yet been
taken by either the student body or
the faculty and it was not thought
necessary to lay the matter before
the trustees of the college at their
session yesterday. The trustees dis
cussed the legislative budget to be
submitted to the budget commission
at some length but reached no def.
mite conclusion, it was announced at
the close of the meeting by President
W. C. Riddick of this college.

Prune for Fruit Production

Raleigh, Dec. 1S.-Now while the
trees are in the dormant stage is the
time to prune and spray the orchard
says r. F. Payne, extension horticul-
surist for the North Carolina Exten-
sion Service. Mr.. Payne states that
pruning can be done now without in
jury and that working over the old
neglected trees will pay well for the
time and money spent. 1t is also wise
not to neglect the new orchard just
set, because it is a fact that only
about fifteen per cent of the trees
sold by nurseries ever come into bear
ing. This is largely due to the fact
that the trees are neglected and not
handled properly.
The Division of Horticulture be-
ieves that North Carolina can be
made the second California for horti-
culture in fruit growing and garden
ing receive more and better attention.
Fruit growing is just coming into
its own in this state and this is es-
pecially true of the apple region of
western Carolina. Growers in this
section should take care of their
trees now, urges Mr.. Payne.
He says, "The ultimate object of all
pruning is fruit production. There
are a number of things to bear in
mind regarding this. The heaviest
pruning should be done during the
first four or five years after the tree
is set. Then the tree is shaped. The
next FIVE to eight years, the tree
should be pruned only to keep it in
good shape. This is the period of
change from growth to heavy fruit
production and is the most critical
in the history of the tree"

MEDICAL COLLEGE MAY .
BE LOCATED IN DURHAM
DR.. Few Proposes Coalition of State
and Trinity Resources for Estab-
lishment of Medical School

Acceptance by the Medical School
committee of the University of North
Carolina of a proposal made by DR..
W. P. Few, president of Trinity COL
lege, for the first joint establish
ment and maintenance of a medical
school and hospital at Durham by
trinity college and the University to-
gether with any other institutions
which may care to share in the un-
dertaking, gave an unexpected turn
to the University hospital and medi-
cal school situation Wednesday night.
The Trustees of the University, in
stead OF being asked to accept the
ommittee's recommendation for the
location of the hospital which is a
vital part of the four-year medical
school, will be asked to accept the
proposal of DR.. Few. The committee
has abandoned its report on location.
The committee, in so far as they
could act gave its approval to DR..
tew's proposal in a conference at the
Governors Mansion. DR.. Few outlined
his proposal for an equal share on
the part of Trinity and the Univer-
sity, in the expense and in the main
tenance of the institution, or a divi-
sion of expense and responsibility
among any institutions which may
join with them. The proposal calls
for an expenditure or the equivalent
OF the expenditure of eight millions
of dollars. Trinity and the Univers-
ity are to appropriate each $l,000,-
600 for the building fund. Trinity,
under the plan, is to endow the insti-
.ution to the extent of $4,000 900. The
Cniversity's share will be made up
of an annual appropriation for main
tenance equivalent to the $4,000, 900.
Through the General Education
Board, representing the Rockefeller
Foundation, DR.. Few has secured as
surances of $4,000,000 for the medi
cal school. Through the initiative of
Benjamin L. Duke, who has long ad-
vocated such development at Trim.
ity, the Duke family, including James
Buchanan Duke, is prepared to sup
plcment that gift with another ST.
100000. Three million goes into the
equ .pment of the school and five mil
lion to its endowment.
DR.. Few returned from New York
Monday from conferences with the
General Education Board and James
B. Duke. Monday night he laid his
first proposal of coalition before

versity. DR.. Chase was rather favor
ably impressed with the idea of coali-
tion, but was confronted with the al
most solid determination on the part
of the subcommittee that any coali.
ton between the State and denomina-
tionalx institution is out Of the qucs-
tion.
AT a conference between Governor
Morrison and Dr. Few he plan for

A friend happened TO be with Mr..
Lincoln when he received an ir"ifs-
ton to attend a presidsr,s fdle-
ton at Washington a Iew years ago.
He then remarked to the effect that
If they only knew, they wouldn't
want me there" And he recited his
