TOWNSHIP SCHOOL.
SYSTEM PLANNED
Citizens Will Be Asked to Vote
on Consolidation of Pres
ent Districts
REPORT OPEN TO PUBLIC

A proposal for a consolidated
school system, to supplant the
present separately controlled
schools in Chapel Hill township,
will be laid before the voters of
the township within the next two
or three months.
At the request of the Chapel
Hill and Carrboro school author
tiles, the University's depart
ment of educational administra-
tion-a branch of the school of
education-has worked out a
plan for the new system; copies
may be examined, at the office
of either the Chapel Hill or the
Carrboro school, by anybody
who is interested.
Under the proposed plan every
child in the township would have
the opportunity of attending a
thoroughly modern school for
nine months in the year. There
would be a new high school
building, and the present Chapel
Hill and Carrboro buildings
would be used for the elemen-
tary grades.
A township board of education
would be in control, and there
would be a township superin-
tendent.
Chapel Hill school district now
pays a school tax of 72.5 cents
on the 500 of property, but so
many pupils from outside the
district attend the school that it
is not possible to give any pupil
the advantages to which he is
entitled. More than half the
pupils in the school come from
homes outside the school dis
trict-homes that are not taxed
for the Chapel Hill school.
If the county will agree to e.
rect the new high school, a
special school tax of 81 cents in
the township will provide better
school advantages than now ex-
ist. If the township has to erect
the building the school tax rate
will be IT cents, only 4 1-2 cents
higher than the present rate in
the Chapel Hill district.
The report submitted by the
University's department gives
careful estimates of the cost of
the plan, detail by detail, as we'll
as of several notifications
which, costing less, might be
considered for temporary adop-
ton.

REFUTES THEORY
SLAYER'S PHOTO
IN VICTIMS EYE

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-Science has
scoffed at reports that the picture
Of a murderer can be retained by the
eye Of his victim.
The discovery Of such a picture
was claimed in the trial Of Fritz
Angerstein at Limburg, who muir
dered eight persons, burned his house
and then claimed he had been at
tackled by q robber gang.
1t was claimed that the picture Of
Angerstein, with the murder Ratchet
still poised, was found in the eye Of
his 19-year-old sister-in-law, one OF
his victims.
Prof. G. Adam, eye expert Of Ber-
lin, says this is impossible because the
eye Of the victim docs not cease func-
tiOning at once and therefore con-
tinues to mirror new pictures for q
few seconds after death.
He also asserts that the delicate
tissues Of the eye are destroyed by
decomposition within a short time
after death, which is the reason for
the CLASSY appearance.
In either case, says Professor
Adam, the picture Of the murderer
would be entirely destroyed even, If
imprinted On the eye before death.

played on the visiting car of S. j.
Kriegcr, a Polish mathematical mar,
vel who claims to have discovered at
last the great and secret law that
lies behind all times and rules the
logarithms.
With this law, he says, which he
found after years of research, the
cumbersome logarithm tables have
been thrown into the scrap heap. and
the biggest mathematical problems
have become mere child's play.
For the present, however, he is
going TO keen this law to himself.
His title, he says, was conferred
on him by Professor Stephan Bla-
hOvsky, noted psychologist, and has
been confirmed b. Professor Albert
Einstein of relatively fame. whose
mathematical feats the scientists are
still quarreling about.
At any rate astounding calculations
are made by Kriegcr in few sec

to figure out how much a dollar de-

An other things being equal, n
fathers love for his offspring SHOULD
receive the same consideration in the
courts as that of the mother. If the
matrimonial ship is to founder on the
rocks, husband and wife should share
equally in salvaging the cargo.
Judge Ed Haltom, presiding over
she special session of Ninety-fourth
District Court, held this in effect
Saturday when he granted a divorce
and settled the question Of child Gus
tody. He declined to award two minor
children TO either parent permanent
iy-decreeing that each should have
them for alternate periods o. three
months.
The wife complained that her hus-
band was unable to provide her with
the things she wanted. Furthermore,
he has declined TO let her work She

bolster up the family finances.
The husband admitted he had oh.

il was not necessary. Furthermore, he
averred that she spent a large part Ct
her time dancing. he wanted her 10
stay at home. He denied emphaticalIy
they had come TO blows over the
working question just prior to their
separation.
Each prayed the court for the Gus
tody of two minor children. Each
claimed 10 be the proper person to

But the court, weighing the evil
dence carefully, decreed they should re-
main with each parent for a three
month period, no more, no less. For
several months, the testimony showed.
they had lived with their paternal
grandmother.
Husband and wife received the
courts decree unmoved.
But in the corridor two aunts, sis.
ters Of the father, broke down and
wept. They could not stand separa-
ton from the two children even for
three months. they declared.
But the court had spoken and they
finally departed, still weeping, accom-
panied BY their brother.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, August 25.-The
State of Virginia has run short in
its finances this year to the extent
of S2,050, 900, and the sum will be
further increased before the taxes due
the State are paid in November. The
State is able to make good it's pay
ments, however, by reason of the fact
that the law empowers the governor
to borrow such sums as may be need
ed and at a very low rate of interest
Treasurer Purcell says that there is
practically no money in the State
repositories, and in this he is sup
ported by State Accountant Smyth.
In many of the counties the valu-
ations put on property by the asses
sors will fall below that of five years
ago, 1t is reported, and in two of the
cities-Newport News and Peters
burg-the assessments are to show a
considerable reduction. In practically
all other cities there will be an enor-
nous increase, but it is not known
if the increases which have been
made in the cities will compensate
for the failure of the assessors in a
vast majority of the counties to keep
the values to the figures of five years
ago.
That the fight in the Legislature this
winter OH the SUBJECT OI adequate
assessment of real estate will be warm
is we'll known. Observers say, how
ever, there appears to be little hope
that anything will be accomplished
more than to lay the foundations for
a vigorous campaign when the next
Legislature is chosen, two years hence
With the shortage in finances, the
demand of institutions for additional
money will not be met, unless there
is an increase in the tax rate, which
may be the last resort of the Legisla-
ture-and this is not thought profit.
