ANOTHER BEREA BOY HONORED


The Louisville Herald has the fol
lowing to say of Dewey Frank Sharp,
who several years ago was a student
in the Foundation School and later
completed the Academy:
"The most interesting and out.
standing case was that Of d. Frank
Sharp, who was wounded during the
war. Mr.. Sharp, who was awarded
the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy,
also received the Dilley medal-the
highest prize ever awarded by this
institution of learning. In addition
the dean of the college announced that
Mr.. Sharp was the first man in the
history of the school to pass all of his
examinations with a credit mark of
100. In 1921 when Mr.. Sharp was
awarded degree Of graduate of phar-
macy he also captured second prize of
his class. While during his first year
in school he was awarded second prize
OF the junior class, thus making an
enviable record during his college
course, only after he returned wound
ed from France, going thru college as
vocational trainee of the United
States Veterans Bureau.
Mr.. Sharp is a native of Madison
county, Kentucky, and is not quite "a
years of age. He lost ond of his par
ents before he was ~ years old and
tho his father, who was a prominent
merchant, left some estate, which in
itself would have been sufficient to
carry Mr.. Sharp thru school, and the
fac. that his brother offered him all
the assistance needed, this in no way
influenced him and he entered Berea
College working his way thru school
anc obtaining a certificate of the
highest credit for a full high school
education.

Attendance in the. summer school
this year shows an increase over
that Of last yeor. Teachers are be-
ginning to take advantage Of the op-
portunities offered Mt Berea College,
and the students of regular courses

The first and second grades of the

ton Of Miss Harrison who is able to
do an unusually good piece Of work
for the children who are fortunate
enough to be under her care. The
little tots who have found it hard to
get a start in school and those who
are planning to enter school in the

ing the summer, and are able there
by to get into position to do a very
strong year of work. 1t is a pleasure
tn see the children work UNDER sAeS

ID. Y. COLSON ADDRESSES MAN
CHESTER TEACHERS

We are in receipt Of a most inter-
esting address which was delivered
by d. Y. Colson, June %, before the
teachers assembled in the Summer
School at Manchester.
We regret that we have not space
to give the address in full. Mr.. Col
son feels that the Registration Law.
passed by the last General Assembly
Of Kentucky, may result in disfran-
chising large numbers Of people, es-
pecially in the country districts of
Kentucky, and more especially in the
mountains. He feels that the law is
but an added burden to the tax.pay-
ers as he estimates that the admin
istration of it will cost about a mil
lion dollars this year. In the coun-
try districts, where everybody is
known, the uselessness of it is ap-
parent. The almost certain effect of
II will be that large numbers of peo-
pie in remote places will fail to reg
ister on July 10th and 11th and so
will be disfranchised.
He quotes Lincoln in saying, "The
way to get rid of a bad law is to
enforce it to the letter." The i'm
portance Of everybody getting out to
register on these dates is evident.
IF we all register and all vote, then
when everybody sees there is no po-
litical advantage to be gained by this
law the chances are it will be re-
pealed."
Mr.. Colson calls attention to the
fact that this right was secured for
us by our forefathers in the Revolu-
tionary War. And in the wars in
which we have engaged since it has
been this precious right which SEEM
ed to be threatened that has caused
.our best young men to turn their
back on all that was dear "and they
have paid for this right under the
shadow Of the American flag, with
the cost Of their blood and their
lives"
The absolutely important thing
which Mr.. Colson has SO well set
forth is that everybody must register
on July 10th and 11th.

not surprising that England and
other European nations should need
some explanations, for they certain

explain the Tariff Bill and other
American peculiarities. He may also

that the act will greatly strengthen
